>It makes all sense for Ukraine to join NATO just like the Baltic countries did. There would be no war if Ukraine was in NATO.

We agree, it would be good for Ukraine if it was in NATO, but they aren't. War wouldn't have happened if they were, but they aren't.

>You don't start a war to convince another country to not join NATO.

Are you saying it shouldn't be done, or that it can't be done? Because it looks like it is happening right now, and we will see if Ukraine promises to stay neutral.

>The purpose of war is to conquer another country.

War has lots of purposes. You can conquer a country, you can destabilize a country, you can make them submit to terms.
You could save a lot more by watching faster than real-time and automatically skipping title sequences, gaps, etc.
Might be worth to consider that HN commenters clearly are not foreign policy experts and should be citing people that are. Lots of armchair "experts" around here thinking that because they are smart people who work in a stem field, that their opinions should carry any weight. Would you take tech advice from a history professor? No? Then why is it ok to do it for geopolitics?

Even experts cite each other.

I just saw that irregulars/volunteers are live-streaming the KIA that the Russians are leaving behind. It’s unbearably grisly.
Writing and arithmetic are a lot different. Activities involving math are very rarely done away from a phone, and computers are for all intents and purposes 100% reliable at it.

The best mathematician in the world will probably get the same answer I will on a calculator. At most maybe I'll get an irrelevant rounding error.

If there was only one good way to state any idea, no matter the context or intent, it would be different.

I could choose not to use grammarly if I had something to hide, with little trouble. It doesn't do anything most can't do themselves, or anything a local FOSS checker can't do once browsers start integrating them as they probably will someday.

The real danger would be a world in which I can't legally choose not to use it or for some other reason it is no longer a free choice.

Is journalism not part of how we prevent that?
That would not go well for them. That would definitely get NATO going on the offensive. I say we make both countries honorary NATO members right away.
The biggest difference between Ukraine and Afghanistan or Vietnam is the ability of people to leave. The borders to Poland are open, almost anybody left is going to be hostile or a collaborator or deluded.

fmt is a must if you can get away with using it. On smaller systems you should try strf, as it produces very small memory footprint and doesn't blow up your binaries. It is 5x smaller than fmt in footprint.
Russia isn’t there to occupy permanently, they want neutrality in Ukraine’s constitution and there are a number of ways that can happen. They might incorporate the separatist areas as a buffer for the Black Sea.
They already have what?

I think you are putting words in my mouth. I never said it would be good for Ukrainians if Russia won, or that Russia even can win. I just said there isn't a realistic outcome where Ukraine wins via military might.
I like the `psgrep` tool which behaves much more like greping ps that pgrep does. And `psgrep` is actually just a bash script itself.

There’s a war videos Reddit, and I’m not on TikTok but apparently a lot of volunteers are streaming commentary with the camera pointed at the ground.
And, if I was trying to hire someone and had this type of conversation with them and they stormed off in a huff, I would be grateful. I don't want to employ people who can't get out of their own mental demesne to have the conversation that I, as an employer, want to have, and I for sure as hell would not want to hire someone who got upset that I asked them questions that they consider beneath them during the interview where the point is for me to figure out how much value you bring.

The ground is beneath you too but you would fall to your roasty death in the center of the planet if it wasn't there, and if you have a gaping hole in your knowledge base then identifying and resolving it before some portion of the companies' success is resting on your too-narrow shoulders is a good idea.
Unless you are hired for a very specific function, why would testing specific knowledge be useful?

The way I see a Senior is someone who can autonomously get shit done. How does testing for specific knowledge help determine if someone is capable of solving problems autonomously? If they don't have knowledge they should be able to seek it out.
It's the cross section of subjective vs objective .. I'd much rather you give me an actual problem you have and let me have a go at explaining a solution for you. All this tells me is you are recruiting generically and have no idea who you need on your team.
While I can't attest to this helping me focus, I can confirm that it does something.

I used to take it in the morning and evening. After stopping for a bit and restarting, I noticed I was waking up super tired and having intense dreams. I stopped taking it in the evening and confirmed that other people have had the same experience.

> Russian army is in a very different state

The article made me wonder what exactly their different state might be. Certainly they learned from Chechnya, at the time. But at the same time, I remember watching Motorola goofing around and then getting blown up from way back in 2014 and thinking, "this is not someone who's learning others' lessons." Yet it's also somebody RUS put in charge of significant combat elements. These people were doing so much improvisation.

So I wonder, what updated, material structures are there that are in use in RUS tactics since that time; can any of them be pointed out? What evidence do we have? etc.
Could the FCC get involved in this or would that be the wrong agency to contact?
Very interesting! Thank you for this.

Yes. Oberon with Gadgets was like having the capabilities of Delphi live in the GUI. You could literally select widgets and open an inspector tool and edit them. It also had a facility similar to OLE ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding ) implemented with message passing.

When I said these features still haven't made it into mainstream GUI systems I didn't mean that they weren't represented at all. But Delphi is an app rather than a built-in part of the OS/GUI. OLE was in Windows, but it didn't really take off AFAIK. Smalltalk integrated GUIs (Pharo, Squeak, etc.) are very similar, albeit with a very different language and runtime architecture, but again, Smalltalk didn't break into widespread mainstream adoption.
I’ve had the same experience with Swift, Kotlin, and typescript. No clear difference in quantity of bugs or speed of development.
Ten years ago I went back to school and finished my BS. All of the instructors required us to run our work through a plagiarism checker and certify that it was our original work when turned in. The plagiarism checker was part of a suite of tools that included a grammar checker, and some instructors used the grammar checker themselves when grading student work.

I always viewed the grammar checker as a crutch and only used it when required, but some students I worked with on team projects were obsessed with getting no warnings from the grammar check. There were a few ESL students that produced almost unintelligible work that had passed grammar check, and they argued with me when I tried to help them.

My best experience was when one instructor ran my work through the grammar check and then sent me the graded paper (A) which included his long critique of the changes the grammar checker had recommended.

The only one I didn’t know was origin trial; though curiously that line also used http-equiv, which is an interesting one, because those meta tags act can be used in place of response headers (and vice-versa). I was a little surprised that the “perfect answer” didn’t call that out.

I’m actually impressed there was quite a lot to discuss in just 10 lines. That said, i’m less convinced it’s worth spending precious interview time on it, but I could be persuaded.
NATO should leave the Black Sea. That's merely a tactical decision. Large ships are very vulnerable when bottled up in small, shallow bodies of water.

Any NATO ships in the Black Sea should considered in serious danger. It'd be like "Shooting fish in a barrel."

Mine the Black Sea approaches to the Bosporus or sink a ship or two to block the channel and those ships are 'corked in'.
Just Asking Questions, probably.
It does, it's not just that though, it also helps with picking the right words and phrases for your target audience and what type if a message you are writing.
Recently I tried to make a Zig program that parses and formats some format containing numbers quickly, and I discovered that (after getting rid of all the places where one read function would repeatedly call another function that handles arbitrary-sized reads asking for 1 byte) I was spending a lot of time parsing UTF-8 strings to determine their length. This was surprising, because I didn't write any code that's concerned with that sort of thing! It turns out that any time you ask for a formatted value to be padded, the stdlib fmt routines will helpfully format the value, then determine its number of UTF-8 codepoints, then pad it with whatever padding byte you supplied until the number of padding bytes plus the number of UTF-8 codepoints in the formatted value is at least the width you asked for. It will do this even if you were trying to pad a number with zeroes. So now we're compiling against our own stdlib with one line changed to not parse UTF-8 strings when you ask it to format numbers.

Luckily none of this stuff cares about locales.

Oh no, it's super random what you do and don't have. You have power outlets in your cells. Inmates have CPap machines and oxygen condensers they need to keep them alive. You even have microUSB chargers to charge your MP3 player (https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-jailbreak-a-Sandisk-mp3-tha...). But in the Feds a phone is an automatic escape charge, so if you are caught your are guaranteed to go up one security level. Now I am getting really uncomfortable because can really be traced to me, but funny story I had a Russian girlfriend when I went in. On every call (which is monitored by the COs) she would say the limited calls (15 minute max, 250 minutes a month) and calls not on her time sucked, and that I needed to talk to the Russian inmates and get a cell phone. She never understood when I tried to get her to stop saying this on the calls.

This guide is great for background and basic information. It contains a lot of information that I've had to piece together myself over the years.

I am whats called a "Bikepacker", and I've made a lot of my own gear. I ride my bike (a LWB recumbent) instead of hiking; but still do the camping part like backpackers do (with the added nerd-points of using a hammock).

If you are interested in the do-it-yourself side of these hobbies I can't recommend ripstopbytheroll.com enough. There is a lot of great guides, the prices are great; and I even met the guy once (before he started the website) at a hammock get-together.

Nitpick: doesn’t have to be equally - one party in a trade can gain more than the other, not necessarily proportionally to size (but both end up better off than not trading). The key is to sanction areas where the losses hurt the other side more than you.
It's really a new paradigm in compression, imo. For example with a video conference, rather than trying to compress the pixel data and put it back together accurately, you can just send pose and gaze data and recreate a "fake" video on the other side for a rediculous compression ratio.
If Putin pushes outside of Ukraine the USA/NATO won't have any choice but stop them, especially if it's in NATO or NATO allied country. I think if goes anywhere outside Ukraine that the USA will start sending troops and Putin won't be able to talk his way out of it or threaten his way out. It will be like Poland in WW2.
Can't it be both? Problems get worse when they are not addressed and foreign governments contribute to demoralizing the population?

Thanks for sharing that perspective. I'm curious if those NATO members bordering Russia were pressured into joining by the US/EU or felt compelled by other outside influence.

I do like this interview question - but I would angle it a little differently.

I'm definitely a "senior" web developer - been doing this since '97 - but I couldn't talk fluently about a number of these tags, particularly the exact meaning of each of their properties. However I have used most of them at one point or another and they at least ring a bell.

Most of them are tags you throw in at some point to solve some problem or other and forget about them. At least, that's the way my memory works.

They are, however, an interesting Rosetta Stone into many different browser quirks and technologies that I would expect a senior developer to know about.

If I were to show this list to a candidate, I might ask them to pick one of the tags and talk about a time they used it in a project, to keep it on a level that's comfortable for them and not risk "freezing them up". I would expect the discussion that ensued to give me a good sense of their depth of knowledge in one area. After a few minutes, I'd move on to another topic.
That will happen anyway. Asymmetrical warfare always goes that way, especially with conscript armies.

There are an infinity of observations to be made about anything. Are yours random, or guided? Why did you observe that in particular, rather than anything else in the infinite range of things to observe?
No, it's absolutely absurd that you expect every scientist to independently (and recursively) verify every result their work is based on.
Show HN: Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) server and client in C
per wikipedia: "Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) is a diagnostic communication protocol used in electronic control units (ECUs) within automotive electronics." If you have a car/truck/motorcycle/boat/tractor/etc produced in the last few decades it likely has one or more ECUs that use this protocol.

What is the point of UDS?
To make ECUs faster to develop and more testable by specifying a standard set of primitives for remote procedure call (RPC).

Why did you make this?
Because it saves time at work.

Why did you publish this?
Because I can. Because I couldn't find another free implementation. To get us to the singularity a few seconds sooner by reducing duplicated work. To attract commentary from domain experts that might erode my ignorance.

The sequence is more likely reversed. War and then the cables are cut.

The British did that in WW1 to force the Germans to use radio that the British could then receive also.
This is a good step. Russia has tried manufacturing chips in the past, completely failing[0] to produce even fairly rudimentary 28nm CPUs. Cutting off their access to first-world manufacturers would kneecap their ability to scale up their current hardware, and force them to use homemade hardware that's 5-10 years behind the curve of what's readily available today. Technology is only a portion of this battle, but the move to cut them off is undeniably a smart one.

What would be really interesting would be for someone to look at all the behind the scenes to make this work. Like I said it took a coordinate effort to keep books at $8 a book and not say $6. This had to happen between the pissas, white boys, serenos, blacks, and natives. Almost like each prison has it's own interracial Federal Reserve Bank. It was in their interest to not let it move down because they are all sitting on tens of thousands of dollars worth of stamps.
The free Proko videos on YouTube are not bad as well -- maybe a good place to turn once you have a few of the basics in hand -- in particular, the artistic anatomy videos are helpful if you get into drawing humans.

In regards to digital art, I recommend the opposite. A sketchbook and a few pencils can be had for far less than the cost of a drawing tablet or iPad, and the physicality of drawing with analog material is, for some of us at least, part of the appeal.

Lastly, try to draw every day: from life, from memory, from imagination. Take whatever classes appeal, for sure... but in the end, the time you put in, drawing things that interest you visually, is what really makes the difference in the long run.
Right, I meant boarding passes. Since as you said, (estimated) boarding time is usually set to 30-40 minutes before departure, and gates usually close 20m-15m before departure, arriving 15m after the announced "boarding time" is obviously risky. Not sure what's up for debate here.
