> Georgia

Georgia is an even more evident example of destabilisation by foreign military–industrial complex than the Ukraine. At least Ukraine had some reasons for her action after Crimea.

Georgia (or rather, Saakashvili) decided that if the US is selling them weapons and declaring public support, it would mean that they have an option of solving a century old ethnic conflict[0] by force. And that the West would support Georgia in inevitable confrontation against Russia, who obviously still remembers the Sochi Agreement it helped to broker under her guarantees.

Regarding Estonia, I am not sure why you are trying to treat a country like an individual with a single point of view and not a collective of vastly different people. WWII memorials is obviously a sensitive topic, I am not sure why you think Russian government has something to do with it.

The eyes adapt to brighter backlights but you end up not being able to see your desk.

One major annoyance is that eye floaters become a lot more prominent the smaller your pupils are.
Google curates your search results based on your past behavior. If you’re constantly looking to biased, false reporting for news, that’s what you’ll get in the future, everyone downvoting me for saying AJ is biased doesn’t like to look in the mirror.

They all think “the other side is the one that reads fake news, all my news sources are impeccable.” No, you’re just in your own echo chamber that you’ve got telling you the exact things you want to hear. Sharing a story from AJ on Israel is like using RT for the state of Ukraine’s nazi agenda. You’re gonna get a very false picture of reality.
By the 01980s you could have easily been using fluorescents, which went mainstream a quarter century earlier, so I think your stickiness hypothesis is the more likely problem. This had been puzzling me! Thank you for providing the likely solution!

Climate change is more important than being excessively polite to you for years.
Man month is also pretty dated by now. There is some valid advice in the book still, but oftentimes it has to be 'translated' to the modern computing environment. Other things in it are just completely outdated.
That sounds like good advice, but not helpful for those who are painfully shy.
Best to try it to figure it out. I tried compiling a trivial main function with `zig c++` (without cross compile) and the produced binary crashed when run. I think it's far more battle tested for C. But I look forward to C++ being improved as well.
E.g. more typing, or you have to look to the screen when navigating; in Crossline - even more than in Ecco Pro - I can operate with shortcuts, but shortcuts optimized for an outliner, not just an editor with structured formating; Crossline allows me to look at the people I discuss with during the meeting and take structured notes at the same time without taking my hands off the keyboard and without looking to my laptop; of course one could build something like Crossline on top of Emacs (with limitations), but there is a point where you start to fight the fact that Emacs is an editor infrastructure, not a general purpose GUI toolkit; that's why I implemented Crossline in C++ using (modified) Qt.

Yesterday I was at a local branch of my bank. There was a queue (~5 people), but the ATMs worked and the cash was plentiful, no unusual withdrawal limits. Photos are probably not fake, because the demand for cash is obviously there and some banks may have logistical problems with resupplying ATMs.

Nice to meet you!

I’m already looking into using Keygen for my next non-AppStore app. I’ll definitely reach out if I have any concern. Although from what I saw, your site explains everything well, and the dev tier will be helpful in testing.

I’m not getting 100 RPS constantly. It happens rarely, mostly when releasing updates. When an update is detected, Lunar has to check if the period of free updates hasn’t ended. Then the server is contacted again when the new version is launched.

With 3000 pro users (some received licenses for free because they donated when Lunar was free), 100 RPS can happen for short bursts and the server has to cope well with this even if it happens rarely.
Statements like this make me feel like I've stepped into bizarro world,.. because I obsess over that.

To be clear though, this isn't wrong. The number of times I've gotten into shouting matches with people over deallocating cloud resources is not insignificant.

So let’s reset nato to it’s 1990 borders and leave Poland et al to defend themselves.

Does that sound right to anyone? What would Russia do if we did that? We all know: they would destroy more democratic countries.

Russia is an aggressor run by a dictator.. and like all dictators they feel threatened by democracy. Putin has wanted to rebuild the Soviet sphere since the day it collapsed. These countries just want a chance to live in peace, and they would have never sought nato protection if Russia would just let that happen.

They deserve freedom even if it hurts putins feelings.
In general, filters do what their names suggest -- they filter out noise or unwanted components of signals. The simple Kalman filter filters out white noise to estimate parameters that describe a system; other filters use things like the Fourier or wavelet transform to, say, select certain frequencies and remove others.

> With the commodification of free and automated certificates, I'd argue that authorities become less and less tech savvy

That's not what I meant. The point is that, as time passes, more and more people are involved in political decision-making who understand how tech works.

> what exactly is making you think that the baseline requirements do not exist for security reasons

Once you move out of the nitty-gritty of crypto tech, "security" is in the eye of the beholder. Is a solution more "secure", for society at large, if it allows terrorists to communicate undisturbed? You might say yes, others might say no. There isn't an absolute scale there. Choosing trust is one of those areas where the solution is political, not technical, hence forever debatable. So a statement implying that one set of compromises is "less secure" just because it moves trust from certain subjects to other ones (more formally accountable, in this case), is simply not objectively true, and really meant to muddle the waters.
>war profiteering

I doubt very much that it would make any profit.
Many Californians believe that the housing crisis is best solved with public housing. I suppose that this approach may be feasible if accompanied by massive disinvestment in techno-economic tasks, among other things.
So if this is the case (and I don't doubt what you are saying) then that means Russia has decided to turn it's functioning market into something that is no longer a market.

Only because we now have a situation where any foreigner holding a Russian security can no longer sell that security.

That action has instantly made the security worthless (i.e. value of zero) to the foreigner.

So while these actions might stop the price drop in the short term, it will never last only because the market created is no longer reflecting the true value of the security.

They are now only being held artificially high because no one can buy and sell them.
Why are they doing this? Windows RT laptops flopped almost a decade ago due to the lack of software, and the landscape hasn't changed all that much AFAIK.
I've got a 6th gen X1 carbon and under windows the thing has the fan on high all the time. Switched to Linux (mint) and I went a couple months before I heard the fan, doing all the same things. I don't know what windows is doing these days but it isn't doing it for me, the end user.
> EB is little more than a macro for creating an EC2 instance.

EB is not perfect, but this is totally wrong.

It can automatically:

- provision EC2 instances (using their pre-configured environments or your own Docker containers)

- set up a load balancer in front of a cluster

- scale horizontally or vertically based on load

- deploy code to all instances in a rolling fashion (zero-downtime deployments)

- run health checks to determine that instances are healthy

- automatically roll back bad deployments (also zero-downtime)

- pipe logs from all instances out to CloudWatch

- perform OS-level upgrades automatically on a certain schedule

All of this is out of the box.
Isn't some of that "wasted" space necessary for cooling the batteries?
But they're not random bits. I don't want to host content from random third parties even if I don't know what it is. Especially if I don't know what it is.

Well there is a conflict and the us is refusing to allow Russia to trade in its debt. Credit rating should suffer now right ?

I recognize the dollar is actually up this weekend. But either the usa literally already has Russia and China as puppet states, or it’s credit should suffer.
I honestly thought this to be true years ago. I recently bought a MacBook and am completely sold on their keypads. Wouldn't be happy if that was my desktop keyboard but for a laptop it's the best out there.
To me, space travel is the (or one of the) technological challenge(s) that provide a way to compete for the breakthroughs that will power our ecological needs. High performance solar panels, alloys, lightweight construction methods, novel chemistry.

You could argue that you could do all of those for the betterment of mankind itself, but humans thrive on competition, challenges and yes, personal earnings.

> And besides, simply not letting the prisoners see social media comments about them protects them against insults and public curiosity. If you can’t see it, it can’t hurt you and therefore you are protected.

You cannot be serious. Does anyone even need to point out the gaping holes in this argument? Even if I was willing to concede the second half, you're going to bar them from the internet for the rest of their lives? Everyone they might interact with too? You think that stuff won't turn up when their future employers, spouses, friends, whoever, Google their names? In fact their families are receiving gloating messages and insults from 4chan's /pol/ users right now. You think this will not affect them, that they will magically never learn of it?

As... enlightening as arguing with two throwaway accounts was, I think we'll have to "agree to disagree" at this point. This is going nowhere fast.
That's easy. Just write software that doesn't do anything.
The russian chess community, except for 2 douches, have come out against the war.

Awesome; happy it exists; can't imagine using it - we've learned so much about ergonomics last couple of decades!

Personal preference as well - I prefer a scrolling wheel with fairly distinct, discrete detentes that allow me to precisely choose how much scrolling (or assigned function) is happening.

But I'm happy project exists; variety good :)
Yeah this is how I understand it. The goal for Putin is to steal as much as possible while he still can from the only people in the world who believed in him, the people who invested in Russian securities over the past two decades.

Is there a command line tool or editor plugin where I don't have to specify parameters, learn all the options. Instead I would just point it to an "http file" with http syntax and it "runs" it. Meaning the file contents are the http request that I want to send, eg

I think the true leader stuff is mostly about how he's done since the invasion. And he seems to have done well there, no propaganda needed. (If you want bizarre propaganda try watching rt.com a bit - I did that last night - was quite bizarre).
if such a fantasy situation were true, it would mean world governments would have vastly less leverage to pressure Russia to end their attack, greatly increasing the chance of a longer and possibly more widely-involved war, and in the more general sense making such countries much more comfortable for war mongering despots to flourish (for some awful definition of "flourish"). The Russian financial situation is a feature, not a bug, of a regulated financial system.

NATO didn’t forcefully acquire these countries.. these countries used their freedom of association and self determination to make an agreement for defense.

> When it comes to which CAs are trusted, Mozzila is generally in the lead.

Mozilla might well not be around forever, considering the state of their market share. And let's be honest, as long as their main source of funds comes from Google, politically speaking they end up as a fig's leaf around Google's interests. As far as we know, they might take certain decisions about the life or death of any given CA after someone at Alphabet picks up the phone. Maybe they don't do that, but there is no guarantee nor formal process to address this - particularly not in Europe, since all these are US entities.
I'm somewhat startled that Sachs subscribes to exactly the same reasoning as me. The U.S. would never have allowed Mexico or Canada to become Communist allies during the Cold War, no matter international law says, we would've invaded.

Also, not letting Ukraine join NATO is not a sign of appeasement. It's just showing consideration of how important the joining of a former Soviet state is to Russia.

The U.S. has quietly been prodding former Soviet states to join NATO. Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia, all being poor are easy converts in that sense.

We tried it also with Kazakhstan, but that country being affluent due to its oil-reserves isn't so easily turned and has pushed back. It wants to continue to have good relations with its Northern neighbor.

Maybe we should compromise by letting Ukraine join the EU, but not NATO.

There's another short story out there which assumes that when you die in one branched universe, you survive in another. So in your subjective experience, you always survive, no matter how low the chances. But eventually your survival requires stranger and stranger events to occur. After a thousand years, your subjective experience becomes utterly implausible, and yet there you are. But you may not like the universe in which you survive that long. Which is too bad, because you can't subjectively die.

I'll probably remember the title tomorrow, if nobody beats me to it. It was a fairly disturbing story.
That's correct, I meant the former.
Respectfully disagree. Teaching and explaining the current system to new and lower-level folks is arguably one of the most important skills for a senior developer. As for the system, they're not redesigning anything, they're teaching something that (as a senior) they should already know, as if we're juniors. Think typical box-arrow system architecture diagram, DB schema, that sort of thing.
A lot of people on this thread seem to think one way is better than the other, but I'm happy with the market being a mixture of devices. I prefer wider and shorter screens because I always have multiple things on screen at once and want to see them all - but I appreciate other people work differently.
I disagree with the silly categories. I think space travel is awesome but boy would I put so many other things in front of it. I think it's silly to insist on gut emotional reactions like awesomeness agreeing with prudent decision-making. Of course I can't get as hyped about vaccinating children and stopping global warming as I can for space travel. Of course I would fund vaccines and global warming campaigns all day over space travel.

That said, I think I'm in the camp of funding everything that matters to us at some level, while making sure that an urgent priority like global warming get's the lion's share, as much as we think can be put to use. The public can only get excited about two things at the same time, but we can spend money on a much larger set of things. I certainly hope, while the public conversation is focused on global issues like Covid and climate change, that we are also spending money on inspecting dams and levees. There is some right amount to spend on space travel, which is presumably much less than we should spend on global warming and public health and education.

Their stock in trade is being easier to use and more feature-rich than the competition. Trust doesn't factor into it, in the sense that trust in a browser does not come from track record: It's all marketing, all the way down. Thus, if they screw up it does not matter. This point is easy to see because they frequently do screw up and it hasn't had any impact so far. There's no reason to assume it will have one some day.

>>It's not so much an idea as a piece of software, but being predicted on wasting energy it's going to do a lot of harm. That's an example of this class of game-theory based ideas.

It's not a waste if the product the PoW generates is valued as equal to or greater than the cost of generating the PoW, and the market ensures that is the case, as miners cannot operating at a loss.

Where it can be socially harmful is when energy consumers don't pay for the cost of the negative externalities that the energy they purchase created in its generation, but that applies to all energy usage, not just that used in generating PoW.

You should know that costly signalling strategies are widely employed in nature because costly signals are reliable:

I'm very interested in building something like this for WASM programs; the goal of course is to make it easy for non-technical people to see that "Oh the software reads data from example.org, writes to /folder/data.txt, scans /folder for 'abc.txt', writes something to company.com". By defining a meaningful boundary we don't need to fully inspect the code, just the communication channels to report a high-level "how does this unknown/untrusted code make decisions, does it line up with my expectations?"
