Ukraine isn't one of the former soviet states that are doing well and making Putin look bad though. That would be the Baltic states (Estonia/Lithuania/Latvia). Ukraine has a substantially lower GDP per capita than Russia, whether you look at nominal or PPP.

For as long as iCloud existed, people have been clamoring for custom domains. I think it might have been possible back in the iTools or MobileMe days? Maybe I'm mis-remembering.

Me, I've experimented with migrating some of my domains from self-hosted to iCloud+, simply for the ease of management and reducing the headache from SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc. It turns out I have a spurious DNS record that was causing all my headaches, which I had forgotten to remove from older experiments, and I didn't need to migrate to solve this.

In either case, it's a nice convenience feature. Despite the trend, and the HN-think, Apple DOES do things for power-users sometimes.
Nuclear plants have net saved some million of lives by displacing air pollution, even when considering the risks of radiation accidents. Germany could shut down coal and leave nuclear on and save 1000 people per year. Not to mention climate change.

"without Trump undermining..."

What are you talking about?

There was the controversy about his talk with Zelenski of course, but the end result is described here:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-admin-approves-sale-an...

And delay in sending weapons to Ukraine is not unknown for the Biden administration:

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/18/white-house-ukraine...

So maybe your point is that sending weapons to Ukraine was a bad idea that just annoyed Putin, and that's why it's Trump's fault?

Looking at broader economic issues, how could you possibly think that Trump's support for energy development in the West helped Russia, which relies on high oil prices to support its economy, as compared to Biden's shutting down of energy development?
Pakistan PM Khan is in Moscow right after the invasion declaring "it is an exciting time." He's working on a gas pipeline deal with Putin.
Catch-all addresses are a must have for me now. I allocate unique addresses to every website as these are more robust then using the + operator because they can't be stripped off.

I've already busted one company (I presume selling) my email address to a cloud provider for them to send me marketing material.

I emailed their privacy officer and didn't even get a reply, but that's OK, if it continues, one sieve rule and I can delete any mail that arrives on that address.

I just hope the spammers don't get so advanced they start forging other web sites addresses, maybe I'll have to move to a hashed and salted version that they can't forge.
Perhaps it is Russian influence on those posting ?

I also don't get it, this is an extraordinary situation that requires extraordinary measures.

Anything Russian will be boycotted and sanctioned until Putin withdraws all troops.

I have zero problems with the Russian people, but Putins actions have consequences.

do you have a demo video or something for this?
IIRC while on an internship at Broadcom, lots of EDA tools were utilized by sending a script to a (Sun Solaris?) grid compute cluster to save on license costs or due to licenses being billed per minute or cpu-minute. I do recall some internal "wall of shame" dashboard listing users with the most (idle?) minutes using an EDA tool.
It's definitely not at the level of numpy/scipy, probably not even Julia, but there's an active community developing Nim for scientific applications at https://github.com/scinim
I'm not familiar with Putin's speech. Do you seriously think that an insurgency is a good thing? The US military industrial complex is notorious for profiting off proxy conflicts. And we have never truly supported the revolutions that we push. Soros referenced the Hungarian revolution against the Russian occupation of 1954. In that revolution, we promised support over propaganda airwaves, then sat back and did nothing as countless Hungarians disappeared into the House of Terror with no material support. This time, Zelensky is arming untrained civilians, which will only inevitably result in an escalation.

The propaganda that's coming out is really what made me start to question the Ukrainian leadership though. Ukrainian deserters being presented as Russian spies, a Ukrainian anti air missile striking a building in Kiev being presented as a Russian missile, the "Russian" tank running over a car- when it was a Ukrainian tank accident, the surrender at Snake island being presented as a martyrdom, the list is growing by the hour it seems. What I have not seen yet is an American style invasion plan where infrastructure is thoroughly bombed with the intent to pour billions of dollars into rebuilding "democracy"- that ends up really just being a way to pad people's pockets.

I don't like Putin, and I don't like most of the Western leadership pushing for conflict escalation. I don't believe the leaders of either side actually represent their people. I'm trying to objectively analyze this from the perspective of what ends up happening to the regular people of Ukraine. Am I just an unwitting recipient of Russian propaganda? If so- instead of flippantly dismissing my perspective- care to elucidate what I have wrong?
I assume people who give advice they don’t follow are just talking to themselves.
You have two things very wrong here.

First, you are ignoring that difficulty adjustments can happen downward too.

Second, you flipped the actually dynamic - the price swings dictate how much mining ends up being profitable, not the other way around.

You might have also confused the difficulty adjustments with the reward decreasing over time.
I found some info on setting up DNS for other providers, but it isn’t officially supported and for something as important as email I don’t want them randomly breaking it one day, which they could since they expect all customers to be configured through their API integration with GoGaddy. No need to advise in advance of MX host changes etc when it’s supposed to be entirely managed by them.

I understand their target demographic here might not be super technical, so the deep integration with godaddy makes sense, but would be nice for a supported advanced user pathway too.

> comparisons to other situations.

It is not about random comparisons but the will to follow through on what must be done. The US had no real stake in Afghanistan. Russia did in Chechnya and it does in Ukraine.

We will know in a few weeks what his plan is as it is executed on the ground.
I will first say I don’t agree the USA should have invaded anyone.

1) America has Europe by the balls because we provide most of the major military security guarantees.

2) Iraq wasn’t exactly a peaceful nation (see: Kuwait)

3) Both Iraq and Afghanistan were governed by non democratic governments; a dictator in one and by religious zealots in the other

4) No one other than the local middle eastern Arabic countries were threatened by this action by the USA, and they didn’t have enough power to put pressure on the USA

In Ukraine, Russia invaded a neighbor of NATO countries, Ukraine was actually a peaceful nation and has a democratically elected government, and the countries that don’t like Russia actually have the power to try to stop it and can get by without anything from Russia.
During the Cold War there were two competing blocks, so many nations had a choice. The ability to "weaponize" the current system relies on the fact that there's no longer an alternative, and it's hard to imagine one emerging!
Does the desktop mail app count as iCloud mail?
If the complaint about dependency injection is that it’s magic, brittle, and difficult to debug - globals mutation via init() is much worse. In FX codebases this is heavily discouraged. The concepts of constructors and lifecycle hooks in an FX graph are not that hard to grok; you can pretty readily figure out what’s going on if you want to.
No I won't.

Sure a significant growth premium is reasonable, which is why I gave them one when I valued them between $80 and $160 per share.

Without a growth premium they'd be valued at $40.

They're currently valued the same as the entire rest of the auto industry combined. Plus a few utility companies. Plus the battery arm of Panasonic. There's growth premium, then there's fanciful delusions.

I don't see how part-time developers will ever work.

As a developer we are not paid for the time in a chair.

We're paid to have the "code base, and all the business context" in our brain.

Then solve problems.

If you're a part time developer, what you're not doing is devoting less time to output.

What you're doing is devoting less time to meetings and knowing the codebase.

Aka input.

And everyone knows, the better you know a codebase, your productivity is logarithmic. As your mental model of your problems improve linearly, your productivity grows exponentially.
Russia has a lot less to gain (hardly anything real) than Ukranians have to lose, which is why the Afghanistan comparison is apt.

And no, we won't have any clue about what "his" plan was, because it's already failed. Now we will see how Russia's military reacts to initial failure.
My guess is they'll initially sortie from Romania, maintaining IFF silence for plausible deniability, while a coordinated strike with man-and-vehicle portable SAMs retakes enough airspace in the western part of the country to support further operations.

If it weren't for a moral consideration and a very long tail risk of an involuntary shareholder meet up at a prisoner camp as the West's decision-making is further compromised by emotion, there are company that everyone should be lining up to buy.

The book value of many of these resource and agriculture companies is very far from zero. Even with the West's self-destructive energy policies and "let them eat inflation" approach to monetary policy, the continued long-term operation of these companies should be of interest to anyone that likes avoiding mass scale social unrest.

I really wonder if 2 years from now when there's famine and and people are huddling at a community warming centre in the dead of winter because private heating is a luxury good, people will buy the "it was Putin's fault" and "it's worth it for the environment".
How to Run Long-Running Scripts on a Raspberry Pi

> The article implies that the correct procedure for succession was not followed, but this is not true.

Based on what text in the Charter?

> When a country splits up, as the USSR did, the legal precedent is for all of the resulting states to come to an agreement on succession.

“Legal precedent” means something was challenged and ruled on by a court or similar adjudicative body prior to the time relevant to the breakup of the USSR; please cite the case? In any case, the objection is not based on “legal precedent”, but on the express text of the Charter.

(Also, the consensus-of-successors approach you describe is not the practical precedent at the UN; other split-ups that do not leave the original entity intact but with smaller territory have had the UN seat lapse and the new states separately admitted. Of course, none of those have held permanent UNSC seats; the breakup of the USSR was a sui generis case for which there really was no precedent, legal or practical, in that respect.)
Another one I'd put in this list is Not Another Cooking Show, which has solid advice in a very low key format, and a bit of an emphasis on Italian American cuisine specifically.
There was a great deal of international pushback against both. There was also international support for both. The United States didn't unilaterally invade either country.
Oh my god. Thanks for this.
Ive been doing 6-ish hours/day 5ish days/week for the last 6 years.

That's really what's kept me at my job.

Sometimes it gets really wonky, especially when there is a crunch time. Or, lately I've been cleaning up AWS accounts for other companies and handed unreliable AWS instances that page me at bad hours.

I have to be pretty aggressive about counting how much I am working and not working more than what I've agreed to work.

But to be honest, I'm quite a bit more productive than some folks at the business (my boss is ostensibly selling my labor for ~$170/hr, at least). I'm pretty sure if my boss wanted to raise my pay by 30% to bring me up to 40h, I wouldn't be 30% more productive.

I'm occasionally not stoked on things like how much vacation time I get or my pay in general (it's low for my position, but high is you account for the reduced hours).

But on the whole, I do so much other crap in my life that I really don;t wanna sell another 10h of my time a week. And holy hell I never want to work in an office that doesn't have a mixing console and a bunch of vintage mics.
In their quest to find a solution they simply recreate the problem with a slightly better approximation of an actual work sample evaluation. It’s like watching a Newtonian approximation algorithm.

this is putin making a nuclear stalking horse the same way North Korea is for China.

Russia won't threaten nukes next time...Belarus will and if you do what Russia says maybe they'll follow up with Belarus.
My guess is that given Russias energy reserves (they won’t go away due to war) that there’d be a non zero number of people willing to buy the bounce on that at a minimum.
> "Too bad win32 is such a finicky and verbose API that's painful to use for anything beyond the simplest of dialogs. I tried. The MSDN documentation doesn't quite cut it. TheOldNewThing by Raymond Chen is a must-read to get it right."

If it's helpful, I'd like to mention that Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows" has been pretty much the reference for writing Win32 apps since the '90s. (It's the same person that wrote "Code" and "The Annotated Turing".) You probably want the 5th edition as that's the last pure Win32 version; the 6th edition seems to be oriented towards C# based WinRT apps.

Ah good catch, thank you. Doesn't really change much of my analysis though.
Of course. Putting GPL source code only in the app and not anywhere else is shortsighted. Anyone who downloads the app could publish the source code and the first person who has heard of the GPL before will be publishing the source code immediately. Then poof your entire moat and business model is gone.

A much better and more honest approach is something like what Krita has; donations and gratis app downloads on the homepage, identical paid apps in all the app stores and a pay-what you want model for the stores that offer that. You get a larger user base, more word of mouth, more user good feelings, more fans and more potential future payers that way.
The USSR should not be considered a "victor" of WWII because they did not choose the Allied side, it was chosen for them, and most of the suffering was a consequence of Soviet leadership, while the ability to resist the Nazi invasion was due to incomprehensibly large amounts of supplies from the Allies.

"USSR won WWII" is from the imaginary world of Russian nationalist speechifying, where the Nazi-Soviet pact and Allied aid are taboo to mention.

And India...India achieved independence due to WWII, so who says they weren't a victor?
Alternative reading of the same information: "US monitors border using novel technology."

Nations have the right to restrict entry, which entails checking if someone is coming in. That's not hunting.
If the US were serious about going after the parties responsible, it would have invaded Saudi Arabia. Instead it made a token stab at Afghanistan then ginned up a war in Iraq they were intent on waging anyway.

Greenwald: War Propaganda About Ukraine Becoming Militaristic Reckless
Serious question for you: why stop at 40 hours a week?
Is that a surprise?

This is part of the reason I’m very much pro school choice. Give a credit to each family to do with what they wish.

It’ll drive down costs and let those who want to do at home teaching stay that way. But I suspect many schools would have immediately switched back to in person. It lets the parents and community decide what’s best, instead of teachers and union heads.

If it’s designed correctly it should increase aptitude and decrease cost. What’s not to like?

For those who don't remember or weren't alive, Long-Term Capital Management was the whale hedge fund of the day and had on staff at least one Nobel laureate, Robert Merton.

They essentially bought into the "let's buy at a discount" plan, too. They were leveraged on a lot of Russian debt. Russia decided to simply default and not pay anything. No restructuring. And LCTM's resulting crash and burn is now a financial history lesson.
Except they are not his "customers", they are his product :)
I think the bigger challenge in this case would be finding someone credible. There's lots of people who could do as good a job or better than Tim Cook but how do you know? And not just a fear of the risk but also the difficulty of putting in someone with the credibility to make decisive decisions
Of course the meeting is part of the work, I hope I didn't suggest otherwise!

I can only speak from my experience working 80% time in several different jobs, in nonprofit/academic environments. As above.

(I enjoy writing code, if writing code was "barely" part of the work I wouldn't still be here. It seems like it would be impossible to get anyone who was good at writing code in a development/engineering job where coding was barely part of the work! But I'm not sure what this has to do with the feasibility of less than full time work as an engineer/developer).
Or FreeBSD, or virtually every other OS out there. Honestly I do wonder why Valve chose Linux over FreeBSD for this use case; for a single-purpose machine FreeBSD offers a far more stable baseline.

Why is this a problem? You can replace meeting time with time reading specs / requirement if you’d like. Point is you need some constant amount of time to understand the problem domain. If 2 people need to do that then that’s twice the time needed.
