The comments in this article are embarrassing. It shows none of you have even basic reading comprehension. Either you didn't read the article at all or not very carefully:

"So, instead, we have an hour-long technical discussion where I ask them questions about web vitals, accessibility, the browser wars, and other similar topics about the web. One of the questions I always like to ask is..."

It's ONE of the questions, so those concluding it's a terrible interview altogether are dramatizing.

As for the question being relevant or not, I think it actually does say a lot about a developer. Just those few lines of code show historic knowledge, internationalization, SEO and social networks, mobile optimization, CSS normalization, and bleeding edge features (origin-trial).

In that sense it's an effective question. You learn a lot about someone with little code, even if the understanding of some individual lines is not a showstopper.

Finally, saying that your framework usually generates this for you isn't the great answer you think it is.
Oh look an ex soviet grifter who was a low level employee in India and can not speak with any authority on the matters of "cultural Leninism"
we use calculators because you can't do the kind of arithmetic in your head that calculators are made to perform, and because random arithmetic isn't conducive to understanding math. If you can't add two single digit numbers any more I'd start to be concerned.

Having a proper understanding of grammar and spelling is relevant even in verbal communication. Tools should be used to augment human capacity, not used as an excuse to justify atrophy of basic skills.
What about it isn’t true today?
Did you see what's going on r/Russia? You can be banned not for your comment there but for the fact you are on another subreddit. No, not for your comment there! It's enough that others are against the Russian invasion.
So, both of my phones have the following keyboard option:

"Suggest text corrections

Tap words or phrases underlined in green or tap the more menu icon when you see a green dot, to review grammar and writing suggestions.

Powered by Grammarly"

Does this mean that if I have text correction turned on while using the keyboard on my phone, because it is "powered by grammarly", it will be sending unencrypted information to Grammarly?

Personally, I couldn't care less if some giant company is reading my information, but I don't want that transmission being sent unencrypted.

Edit: I should mention that this is not an app that I have installed on my phone. This is literally just the text prediction for my keyboard by default.
Is there more context? E.g. how big was the leak, what kind of data does that database contain?
Does this work on synthesized sounds (like analog or physical modeling rather than samplers)? How does it handle the complexity of piano timbres (notoriously difficult to synthesize)?
Start with the basics and spend a ton of time with them. Try not to move on until you're very solid on the fundamentals of a particular topic. Moving on too early is by far the most common root cause of the problems math and physics students have learning.

Do as many problems as you can. Assume you don't understand something until you've done lots and lots of practice problems. "Math is not a spectator sport." I think that's from "How to Solve It". It holds true for physics.

If there's a specific level or topic in math/physics you're looking to learn, post it and people will probably be able to give you a good recommendation for a book.

Also, if you're not extraordinarily comfortable with algebra (manipulating equations, basic trig identities, log and exponent identities), go back and start there. Everything is so much easier with that skill under your belt.

The documentary Hypernormalisation talks about the strategies Bezmenov lines out the four basic stages from a slightly different angle. Worth a watch. Things have gotten even more frightening since this warning. Bezmenov talks as if it's only the left that's targeted by ideological subversion, and maybe that was the primary strategy at the time, but it sure seems like both sides are are in play now.

> For people in countries with a high level of rule-of-law, and a stable financial system, I’d argue that this works reasonably well.

I agree, but that's not always obvious at first glance. For example, I would've said Canada qualifies as a stable rule-of-law country with strong property rights up until a couple weeks ago.
"A bulletin board that works on your phone" is actually a decent summary of gossip protocol based p2p systems like Secure Scuttlebutt (https://scuttlebutt.nz). Data can be transferred when devices are in near enough proximity to each other (share a network, bluetooth, whatever). Messages are cryptographically signed (and possibly encrypted) so you could use this as a way of maintaining (albeit slowly) communications across a distance so long as there is still travel between communities.
No I would think the Baltic States are the top of the concern list. Not sure the -stan's are where Russia wants to go again.
Agreed—if that paraphrased or rewritten text isn't cited, it's absolutely plagiarism, by any academic standard.

Could you explain this to me like I am a complete moron? I understand that SWIFT allows for international payments, but I don't understand exactly how it differs from a normal bank account transfer within the same country.

a) I am unconvinced that they have any more direct power over their leadership than any other country's citizens do. Is this naive? b) We all know that taxes are involuntary. You make it sound like the Russian people are complicit in this attack. c) There isn't always a knob to turn when someone does something that you don't like. A bully can sometimes take someone's lunch. There doesn't seem to be unified international response, so this is what happens. The best I've heard is "let's hurt their citizens and see if it helps."
If he said for example a day earlier "I will attack" NATO countries could have moved a few troops to protect their embassies pre-emptively, which would have likely been a very shrewd de-escalation, as attacking NATO troops directly would have risked an unintended escalation.

After he has attacked, he has the initiative, and can threaten ww3 if any NATO troops enter the combat zone, and a few troops are not much use anyway.

Timing.

Oh absolutely, the theory behind QKD is fascinating! And I do think that some day there may be actually secure practical implementations, maybe even ones that are practical for more than a few niche applications.

But you mentioned the assumptions on the implementation, not on the underlying mathematics. The thing that concerns me is that QKD introduces additional hardware to operate, and there have been many demonstrations of weaknesses in that hardware that threaten the overall security of the system. With DIQKD you ensure that those issues no longer affect security (again it is absolutely remarkable that this is possible at all),
but now you still have to concern yourself with all the implementation vulnerabilities that also plague classical cryptography. In that sense I mean that the implementation assumptions are now the same.
From personal experience, the most important thing is to do it every day. 15-20 minutes is enough. Your brain will work on technique issues overnight. The jump in skill after 30 days of daily sketching can be substantial.

With respect to drawing people, viewers respond strongly to particular parts being "wrong", so break the learning process down into parts. For example, focus on over-all proportions, then focus on hands and wrists, then on faces, and then feet. Then put all of it together.
He’s looking at things through a KGB lens. He doesn’t have any real clue what civil rights was about because he’s not part of western culture, but he was embedded in KGB culture and what he says about that is credible.
That was shutdown a few years ago. Though I suspect that there is other infrastructure still in/through the area.
>I can 100% confirm that all money in the world is just literally numbers, and it is balanced by the different federal reserve systems around the world to ensure no one can "create" money without notifying everyone.

How does the system guarantee that nobody's creating money without notifying everyone? Furthermore, does the system guarantee that the central banks of each country are correctly adjusting their books in consequence? Is it all just a trust-based system, or are there additional controls?
Today, everything different from the "common sense" spread through the media is considered misinformation.

Think about this war. Everyone is condemning Russia, making statements supporting Ukraine, applying all kind of sanctions against Russia.

Why did not governments do the same when US invade Iraq or Afghanistan?
So? The easy fast solution is what got Europe in the position of not being able to meaningfully sanction Russia.

Yes, doing something big would require many things. Building a bunch of them at the same time would allow you to save many of the pitfalls of nuclear construction: having to redesign each one from scratch.

You’d build power plant factories, fifty of the same plant around the country/continent.
Cute I guess, though no idea why I'd want an e-ink name badge. I wish there were more affordable large e-ink screens. These tiny ones don't do much for me.

It does seem to me that the rpi pico is maybe the goto cheap MCU board these days. Not much reason to use a blue pill or arduino clone any more, unless I've missed something.
It's not elitism, I'm being fairly realistic here. Hackers are curious self-driven people that go poke and find things for themselves, it's pretty much a hard requirement for the trade. Asking for things on a silver plate in a forum whose name has "hacker" on it is frankly pretty lazy.

If you think dropping some "helpful" links here will help the dude actually "defend his country", I'm sorry to have to be the one to say that that's all delusional feel-good theater.

The other comment above talking about zergling rushes also caught on to the misguided motivation for this thread. If this was about being of service, my recommendation stands: join the army, that makes a material difference, especially when there are literal tanks physically invading your territory. Dreaming up fantasies - and not following through when you eventually realize that cybersecurity is hard - is stupid.

People are dying out there.

The parent poster is not making an apology.

The unjust and cruel legal system and the behavior of people involved is all a product of society.

It's not just a couple of "bad apples".

And saying this does not give anybody a pass.
It needs to be shared and break through cognitive dissonance.

So many people sit comfortably in their chairs at home opining and spew thoughts online without any real idea of how bad things really are.

This is real life.
The EU isn't harming itself it is protecting 70 years of peace on the continent that is now threatened by a paranoid Russian Czar.

I would argue that this is less of a problem for the US than it is for Europe. China is an American problem Russia is ours.
Leftists today love to parrot the Ukraine are neo-nazi dreck.

Obviously, the USSR is gone but it did manage to demoralize enough people to shill for Russian foreign policy despite Putin being much more fascist adjacent, and enjoying close support from the bellicose Orthodox patriarchs who rail against western politics instead of sticking to droning on about God.
Nice, but I'm still not giving Meta anything especially my child's art
The more shocking/interesting aspect of this interview, for me, is to hear how the KGB (and its successor organization(s) in Russia, I imagine) would work over multiple decades to "subvert" the people of a country, in four stages -- demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization:

1) demoralize the people of a country over a period of "at least 15 to 20 years;"

2) destabilize the country's institutions over a period of "2 to 5 years;"

3) precipitate a crisis that would normally unfold over a period of "up to 6 weeks;" and

4) normalize the new state of affairs.

Whether the KGB and its successor organization(s) could have or might have been successful is of course debatable, but no one can deny this kind of persistent effort to subvert another country's people over such a long horizon is... audacious (words fail me).

In particular, I find the idea of a long-term government-sponsored program whose goal is to "demoralize" people a bit upsetting: It stands directly against the let's-roll-up-our-sleeves, we-can-do-it optimism for which US entrepreneurs have long been known around the world.
Yeah well, doesnt seem to be working too well for them with record high energy prices and a geopolitical situation where their hands are tied because they need to keep importing gas.
Sure, I'd agree commodity money is preferable (and certainly trustless in p2p transactions), and in many ways better than blockchain. I just don't see how to map
that paradigm onto a world where people who have never met each other regularly transact across continents without introducing some trusted 3rd party. And the moment you add that 3rd party you end up right back where we are now.
Not to be a apologist of what Russia is doing (really really against the current invasion/occupation) but from what we've seen around social media, it's not clear that the actual soldiers on the ground understand that they aren't "liberating" the Ukrainians from actual Nazis. They are fed misinformation on a daily basis and at least some of them see themselves as the "good guys".

It does not excuse anything really, but I wouldn't wish them pulmonary cancer.
Their corporate HQ is in the US, and they are hosted on AWS.

They have a development office in Ukraine, too, but they have evacuated. Even if Russia takes over they won't get access to your writing.
> able to BS my way through the answer

That's it. Anyone claiming to be a senior full-stack engineer should be able to BS their way through this.

If you're shocked by what you see on a "view-source" screen, then you haven't been doing this for very long, and you're not really "full stack".

This would seem the most logical to me as well - time being viewed not as a line, but a plane (or even a 3d space), where attempts to alter "the past" put you in a distinct branch of the timeline (a different spacetime).

Of course, this isn't as romantic or digestible as time-travel as envisioned in most fiction (BttF).
Sounds like the Soviet form of Edward Bernays.
> It would be easier to explain why NATO invaded Iraq if it actually had.

NATO, as such (not just NATO members operating outside of the alliance) conducted a couple different (all non-combat, training and capacity development) military missions in Iraq. IIRC one from 2004-2011ish and one starting around 2018, maybe something in between.
This is a huge PITA for mobile 3D game developers. Google would announce a shiny new Vulkan feature and I'd set a calendar event for 4 years in the future to remind me to check if 75% of the user base had it available yet.
It is logical for Putin to block Facebook, but better under some pretext.

I don't support Putin's policy in the slightest, up to the point of being detained by the police at a protest rallies.
The plan to shut down nuclear power plants is from 2000 and ended a (for German terms) fierce societal debate. It was delayed a bit in 2010 (and then un-delayed a smaller bit in 2011 following the Fukushima incident), but the plan has been in force for 22 years.

By now, even the power plant operators aren't very interested in keeping them running for longer because they already planned to turn them off and dismantle them. Keeping them on for longer means a significant investment to them, for unknown benefit as the societal rift will inevitably break open again. They might invest (so they can continue to operate things safely), delay the dismantling (probably also costs money because they likely started hiring companies already), only to be told a year later to shut things down again (all that money for nothing).

An issue in that has been that renewables build-up has been all but sabotaged politically in the last years, and that storage technology didn't develop as well as estimated, making gas necessary as a peak load compensation mechanism, "hopefully" temporarily. Gas turbine operators are whining for years that they're operating at a loss but they're forced to continue to operate (getting the loss just about compensated I think) to ensure the grid's safety.

Other than _that_, gas is mostly used for heating which is a distinct system. As such, any consideration of "nuclear vs. gas dependency in Germany" is something that seems to be mostly discussed outside Germany: No matter how many nuclear power plants we keep up, gas boilers just don't run on electricity (except for their controller module).

As for booking a contractor 20 years ago: There are funding programmes to encourage folks to go for heat pump systems and other modernizations. The last electricity heating system that was widely deployed in Germany _was_ horribly inefficient, which is no surprise with technology that was already old in the 70s, and the idea "electricity for heating is a waste" has stuck. The political sabotage that I mentioned extended to not really caring about correcting such misconceptions.

When it comes to dollars and cents, I think the past few days have made it clear that Western Europe cares a lot less about peace in Eastern Europe than the hopes and prayers rhetoric would have you think.
Why should dual citizens living in other countries suffer, especially if they've lived there for decades?

Asking for myself.
I would second Dow's book. Dow started teaching and his books were written after he had some years of teaching experience. I think that Georgia O'Keefe among many others, praised his instruction.
Wow, there seems to be a consensus that being able to read an entire HTML file is not a reasonable expectation of a senior frontend engineer. That's news to me, and honestly I can't imagine how narrow the job definition must be if it doesn't include a working understanding of page headers.
I'm not sure how you can say it is de facto centralized. You may have had a decent argument as recently as last summer when most of the mining was done in China. However, we just watched them ban mining there completely, and the network carried on relatively unfazed. Seems pretty distributed to me.
It’s also a browser extension and extension for things like Microsoft Word.

I think it's more a case where many users only see one side of a dual-use technology...they don't necessarily even know how it works, just that they can install it and it checks grammar for them. It seems a bit like visiting the local dump for the first time as a kid: the sheer amount of stuff being collected in one place that came from everyone's homes can be really impressive, even though you knew all along that it had to go somewhere every time you took out the trash.

What do you mean by the Socratic method?
> Then presumably Georgia, Chechnya, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and the rest were also attacked because they wanted to join NATO?

Georgia (of which South Ossetia and Abkhazia are part), yes, pretty explicitly. Chechnya is a different and long-running conflict (the Chechen Wars, in terms of their initiation, predate the late 1990s NATO expansion.)

Georgia still wants to join NATO.
So it looks like they've finally pulled out the big guns and hit them where it hurts. So to speak.

So you think employing those hundreds of thousands of workers would incur no office space costs, no IT system costs, no management, no service staff, no HR, no payroll, no recruitment, no training. Wow. And your talking about Google profits, but YouTube is a business itself that needs to make money. Why does the rest of Google need to subsidise it?
