I assume the department head had other work to do besides approving requests if the number of requests are significant to the point that the department head can't do any other work then the system still failed to bureaucracy. Either the higher ups are fine with department heads doing nothing but approve requests or they change the system.
Just sensible climate policy at a global level would be enough to crush Russia economically. I feel like this recent drama effectively stems from trying to distract the Russian people from this looming fact while the oligarchs get as much money as possible out the country.
For starters, phoenix has had "support" for the equivalent of fiber-safe database connection pools forever, and it's advanced enough that you can concurrently run tests that checkout database "sandbox" transactions and you can spawn a task off it "that runs in another fiber" which will still know which database sandbox to use and with about 10LOC you can make it so your integration test can issue an http request to the server and the "fiber" that handles the request operates in the same sandbox. Oh, and this pattern is part of the standard library so it will work with just about any other thing that needs to share global state (like mocks), not just databases.
Apple is not going to switch back to Intel, obviously.

But it‘s myopic to claim it’s “too late” for a more efficient chip. Intel CPUs are still going to be everywhere. Macs are a slice of the computer market, but they’re not everything.
Right, it might. We should press forward and see how far he's willing to go and encourage his leadership to kill him to save their families and save themselves from potential nuclear disaster.

Russia is exceptionally weak compared to their prime Soviet days. Both militarily in terms of bulk and economically. The rest of the world has gotten a lot bigger, stronger militarily and economically since those days. We should press on Russia and reveal their weakness. They would be obliterated exposed in the field as they are right now by NATO's forces.

Are the Russian people all willing to die for Ukrainian territory? Let's find out what Putin's answer is and what the consequences are for him, when the people (including those around Putin that can assassinate him) in Russia realize what he's leading them to. Putin's expansion doesn't end until there are very severe consequences; some other nation in Europe is next after Ukraine.

If Putin threatens to kill everyone with nuclear war, then we'll deal with that as it happens. It's important to understand what you're really dealing with, and with Putin we need to go further to find whatever his lines really are. So far Putin has almost never faced a real push back from NATO / the West, we have no idea where he'll go or not, and we need to figure it out one way or another. Putin made clear his return to Empire plans, we already know what he wants.
US, and UK and Russia never agreed to "protect" Ukraine in exchange of their nukes, but that they won't attack them. US and UK didn't broke it, Russia did. But it's arguable that this deal was ever good for Ukraine, only for Putin so far.

Wasn't it hilarious how in 2008-2012 (? or thereabouts) the Prime Minister was suddenly more important than the President, when before and after it's been the other way around?
Tags, being one of the most basic implementations of boolean retrieval, tend to suffer from feast-or-famine a lot, at least in my experience. Once you introduce hierarchical tagging, people will just use them like folders with each item having 1.0x tags on average.
There seems to be an "anschluss" underway with Belarus already. But it doesn't appear today that Putin needs any legal grounds to declare anything he wants; he's essentially president-for-life already, without changing the borders.

> Funny enough, the world felt larger when it was smaller because it was rare you ever encountered a loading screen.

It's not only about loading screen. The world felt larger, because you had to walk and take the fly path a lot! Going from one end of the world to the other took literal minutes in flight. Then after they introduced the group search feature which automatically teleported you in the dungeon you had chosen, the world felt much smaller, because in practice you were only seeing a tiny part of it.

I'm an embedded hardware engineer, so I don't have much experience with wire for high-current applications, but I was surprised to see soldering as the method for the connector. Can anyone working with high-power devices chime in on if this is more common than crimping at this gauge? Maybe solder is more accessible to the hobbyist at this wire thickness?
> A profitable or well-funded company in an uncompetitive market can afford to waste staggering amounts of time and money indulging the whims of senior managers

For a while, even in a competitive market, they can waste money. I'm reminded of a friend who worked for a large national book seller in the late 90s. He was placed on a project to investigate the company branding (and possibly producing) their own wine, for sale in stores. In-store cafes were such a hit, upscale wine sales (and profits) would be huge right? This was green-lit from some sr management who... coincidentally, was a wine buff, and they put a team together to go research the wine industry (which meant... travel to wineries for research, etc). This project never got off the ground, but the team learned a lot about wine and retailing wine for about a year, then was disbanded. The company started losing a lot of ground within a few years, and was defunct shortly after.

Rather than pursuing better ways of accommodating the coming internet wave... they squandered whatever chance they may have had on ... lunacy. Another couple of contacts I had there were showing me their own skunkworks "personalized reading lists" (think barebones 'goodreads' system in 2000). Projects like that were frowned on and not supported, in favor of "wine exploration".
Agreed, I was surprised how wide spread electronic payments were so there will be a big market up for grabs. Doing some quick googling, russia seems to be among the countries with the largest percentages of cashless transactions (~80%). What's interesting about his explanation was that the main motivation for people was trust, if I recall some places wouldn't even let you pay with cash because they did not trust it.
YouTube videos have a much easier time reaching more people. Not only is video easier to consume than sitting down and reading for a lot of people, but YouTube also has a discovery system making your content easier to discover. I also believe it is probably easier to keep a lot of people watching a 10-20+ minute video rather than having them spend that amount of time reading too. The HN crowd might not fall into any of these categories though.

If the content is also just a stream of thoughts, it can be easier for some people to just talk to a camera, edit it down, and put it up as a video. For some people that is easier than having to think about wording, grammar, formatting, etc.

Hosting on YouTube is also free as opposed to hosting your own written website, but of course free hosting for written content exists too.
This is my experience, too. I'm currently working on a TypeScript+Node service, which is decent, but Go is my preference these days.

Agree. I've had this happen with my GPL sw. On a side note, I think github's copilot is a disservice to all developers in this regard as it effectively throws developers under the bus.

Sure, but that can also indicate it's a virus resulting from natural stitching together of DNA sequences from multiple infections in one living host, like HIV.

How do we disambiguate novel virus arising from multi-infection interference from human synthesis?
I think the other thing Putin is betting on, is that after 20 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the American public is not going to support another significant foreign war. Additionally one important thing that came out of the Trump presidency, is that the hawkish "Team America: World Police" wing of the republican party has been knocked from the dominant position they've held at least since Reagan. The Trumpish base of the party is now much more nativist and not all that interested in providing military support to other countries.
I wish more development went into form widgets. A big thing is also that they're accessible and responsive by default.

One that I would love would be some sort of drag and drop reorderable list, for example.
This is true, but the set of custom controls is quite small. Controls that were built-in to, say, Visual Basic 4.0 in 1995 are not present in today's web browsers.

Re-implementing built-in controls (the example of a <select> box is given in the OP) is obviously a very bad idea in almost all circumstances. Implementing a missing control is a much more difficult decision, and there are times when it can be a defensible choice to do so.

I once ported a shoddily written (by me) Python script to Go. About 400 LOC in Go. The compiled executable size was a whopping 7 mb!

This was more than I expected.

It turns out there's a reason for large executable sizes in Go [1], and apparently it can be made smaller.

MAD works because the two parties do their best to convince the other party that they'd launch the missiles as soon as any of their allies or controlled territories are touched. If there is a crack in their resolve the other party can take a bite, then another one and then the alliance crumbles. Or they launch their missiles hoping for no retaliation.

I find his contribution to the discussion adequate and interesting. The U.S absolutely had a hand in what's happening here, it's been evident since 2014. I wish this community would take a moment to reflect and try to adopt a more nuanced view of the factors that led to this and of their country's foreign policy.

For all the talk of wanting peace and democracy, the U.S topples regimes like it's the national sport and calls for blood at the slightest opposition. You really don't have the necessary track record to claim moral superiority here, so a more nuanced take than "Putin is evil" would do everyone well. This time Ukraine and Europe will pay the price of your belligerent behaviour, maybe that will teach us to build a stronger leadership (... especially Germany) that doesn't follow whatever Washington says all the way across the Atlantic.
How to have the best Bad Meetings
Ukraine is not a western country, not a part of any pact, not a part of EU. No western country is protecting Ukraine.

How things that West done are somehow connected to Putin’s desire to challenge the sovereignty of his neighbor?

Don’t live in black and white world with good guys and bad guys.
At minimum, an explanation of how the linked research (which shows that the cleavage sites are indeed common, as the parent comment explained) is somehow wrong. It doesn’t make any sense to insist they aren’t common in response to a paper showing specific examples of them occurring in nearby SARS-CoV-2 ancestors.
What is the endgame here?

Russia is outclassed by NATO both economically and militarily.

If NATO intervenes economically, Russia will lose much.

If NATO intervenes militarily, Russia will lose much (but at great cost to NATO).

The risk of NATO intervention is high, right? Russia understood this before invading, right? So it seems Russia is accepting a high risk of loss.

But it doesn't make sense that a nation as sophisticated as Russia would accept such a high risk of loss. Which means that they might actually believe the risk of NATO intervention is low.

How could the risk be low without some kind of collusion or hidden knowledge (hidden from us common folk)? Are "they" ("the global elite", "the military industrial complex") all "in it" (profiting) together? Is Russia just suicidal? If (when?) Russia loses out, how do they react?

It cuts both ways. They could go short before the action and go long just before the markets recover. If that worked, they'd get their war for free. And achieving any actual military or geostrategic success would be just the icing on the cake.

The West would be imposing sanctions, but at the same time, the West would be the one financing the thing.

Seems to me that not a lot of people here understood deeply the purpose of the app, and maybe the app itself don't understand youtube deeply either. The app is aiming for privacy and most comments are about ad removal.

What maybe both the comments and app creators might be missing, is that youtube is not only about hosting videos and content creator channels, it is also about content discovery, and that is key for both its success and for the users to make use of the service to its full potential.

I am a Youtube Premium user, I pay via credid card, so I am KYC'd already. But I wish I had something similar on iOS. Not because of ads, but because the Youtube experience is really suffering from having too many developers and focus on kiiling the competion instead of keeping youtube identity. The app is really bloated with experiments like "shorts", which is copying TikTok, and same can be said from the AppleTV or LG TV apps, which now put subscriptions to the botton to force you to click on gaming (twitch clone) and news.

It is really a shame that Youtube, as most rent seeking big companies, can't be satisfied in being the best in one thing, rather trying to be predatory to similar but not quite the same competitors.

US Postal Service at this point is mostly paying people to deliver paper advertisements though.

It doesn't have to be profitable but the cost to send mail should cover the operation. It is absurd that it is worth it for so many companies to flood people with literal garbage.
I'm a huge AMD fan but this is bonkers.

Yes, Intel has floundered for a number of years, but at the same time they are a foundry themselves, second only to TSMC (for now), have incredible manufacturing capacity, and seem poised to start pushing interesting CPU designs as well as having their foundry half finally start executing correctly. Also their growth potential for their GPU business is huuuuuuge.

As someone who enjoys AMD for the competition they bring, I am worried what the next few years might look like for them for the following reasons:

1. AMD GPUs were actually very competitive with their RDNA2 architecture, but at the same time AMD enjoyed a huge silicon advantage as they were on TSMC while NVIDIA was on Samsung (for consumer). The next generation of NVIDIA consumer GPUs will be made by TSMC and if their professional GPUs (see A100 which are made by TSMC) are any indication we can see potentially up to 1.5x to 2x efficiency bump for NVIDIA.

2. Intel seems to be cleaning up shop and their latest generation of CPUs feel like a 1st Gen Ryzen moment. Also, Intel does not have to clearly surpass AMD, they just need to be competitive as they can simply out produce AMD given AMDs relatively small allocation at TSMC.

3. Intel GPUs pose a moderate threat on the horizon for AMD for both low end and portables and at the same time they are eating up available capacity at TSMC.
Not your point, but League of Legends, DOTA2 (DOTA is a the trademarked, Valve name, DotA for the mod) and Heroes of NewEarth all had had people who worked on at least a version of the original DotA All Stars mod so technically they're all equally sequels or continuations. It's Heroes of the Storm and SMITE that are the rip-offs :).

Or at the very least, League, DOTA2, and HoN (may it soon RIP) are all equally rip-offs of the original mods.

I'll bet that that would not be Paris or London. But to try to guess what someone who has nothing to lose will do is folly, Putin might very well be beyond caring even about such stuff: he wants his legacy cemented and there are two ways out of that that would satisfy him: the fact that he is remembered as a great Russian or that there isn't anybody left to remember what kind of an idiot he was.

For some idea of this mentality, if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend the movie Der Untergang, which is as historically accurate as they could make it, and which gives a unique perspective on how things could get so bad that parents would poison their children to avoid them having to live in a world where they weren't the victors.
Maybe only somewhat relevant, but the title phrase resonated with me. Given my ADHD, desperation-induced focus was the only thing that got me through college with good grades. I wouldn't study until the night before the big exam because I was unable to focus under normal circumstances, or even pay any attention to what was being said in class, but the desperation-induced focus of the big exam in the morning finally enabled me to study, and in that circumstance, to study very well and do just fine on the test.

Yes, it's been done. No, it's not a good idea. And the result is no longer open-source. I'd strongly advocate not doing that. If you want to make something "shared source" or "source available" (as opposed to open source) it would be better to use an existing, well-known license for that. Microsoft put out a few such licenses years ago[1], maybe consider one of those.

There are two main places where Android apps store files: within an application-private slice of the main filesystem, and the shared /sdcard (which, as its name implies, was originally a removable SD card, but nowadays is just another slice of the main filesystem). What the parent is complaining about is the former (and a per-application directory on the later), which is removed whenever the application is uninstalled (or the user tells Android to clear the application state); and unless you have root on the phone (or are looking at the per-application directory below /sdcard), or the application explicitly exports it, it's not even visible to any file explorer.
But that's exactly what many applications have been doing for a long time, they're using S3-like services as CAS or quasi-CAS and generate views for different workflows on the fly from a separate database.

If Ukraine had joined NATO then, Putin wouldn't have invaded. That's the solution. Not to stay away from NATO.

If Romania wouldn't have joined NATO, it would now be invaded together with Ukraine.
