congratulations, you have reinvented https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base, which is dead. it's not a terrible idea, but had a number of fundamental problems. first, it was a massive undertaking primarily driven from the "enterprise" side with minimal support in the community. the former isn't necessarily an issue, but the latter was a death sentence for a supposedly comprehensive standard. furthermore, the goal of LSB is fundamentally at odds with the extensible and decentralized nature of Linux; full adoption would destroy most of the value of Linux as a customizable system.

funnily enough, though, Red Hat failed with LSB, but systemd is, for better or worse, accomplishing much of the same goals, causing many of the same issues of poor extensibility and customizability.
>he should have just focused entirely on taking Donetsk and Luhansk, concentrated the attack solely there; their military could have managed that

They were already out of the Ukraine's control before this started.
do you ever start liking it?
And any programmer who finds an optimization that makes existing code run 10% faster will be fired, for costing the company 10% of revenue.
For me the only somewhat rational explanation is, that the Kremlin did indeed expect the take over to be faster than the west can agree on their reaction. Like the Taliban taking back Afghanistan with little to now resistance and the president sitting on the first plane out. I can believe that them calling it a military special operation instead of war wasn't just propaganda, but what they thought it was going to be. I'm pretty certain if the war would have been already over, before sanctions were agreed upon, they would have been much tamer. And while yes, everyone would be mad at Putin it wouldn't take too long for things to go back to business as usual. But due to the Ukrainians fighting like hell for their country, I don't really see what "winning" for Putin would look like at this point, even if he takes over all of Ukraine.
Indeed. Is this the fate that Russia is facing, or are the sanction not enough for this to happen?
there are lots of disinformation/propaganda in China, for example

http://taihangsummit.com/58f2d79d03/

in it, they falsely claim that Ukraine did genocide in Donbass and there was a mass burial site for 30k victims.

I really hope to translate them and get these shitty things exposed under the sunlight.

Ukraine's victory will slap their faces hard.
Pffft, I live in the U.S. I think my 401K lost about 20% of its value in the last 30 days.

That didn’t happen in Belarus and Hong Kong.
The oligarchs have no power anymore. It's all Putin.
Agreed. My understanding of introversion is that it takes energy to socialize and an introverted person gains energy with more time alone for things like introspection. That can be independent of social skills and degree of enjoyment from socializing.

Extroverts find socializing energizing. And can find alone time draining.

Of course most people aren't fully in one or the other and some circumstances may change things.

Shyness is more the classification for social wariness which might be coupled with a perception or skills deficit in addition to the negative beliefs or feelings around socializing.

I'm definitely more on the introvert end of things. But after a long time of solitude I get a hankering for socialization and feel energized by interacting with friends and family, up to a certain duration. And then a while after that I can feel overwhelmed or drained and then need to find alone time for myself to recharge.
Your account has been posting some of the most horrific things I've ever seen on HN. Therefore we've banned it. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30495785 for more information.

Even in the instant degradation that people have responded to this war with everywhere, including on HN, it's shocking to experience how quickly comments like this become acceptable in many minds. As long as I'm running this place they will never be acceptable here.
You're assuming the team works on something most developers know enough about. Often times that's not the case and it takes time to get familiar.
Russia-Ukraine Warning Update: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, Feb 27
I have lately felt very underpaid, given the current crazy job market for developers. I’m at a FAANG which supposedly pays “market rate,” but it doesn’t seem true in practice. Why play the promo and comp game, spending months or years proving the value of your hard work, when you can just jump ship for an instant level-up?

I basically have a negative incentive to stay, even though I really like my job and I’m pretty good at it. Very frustrating.
Chinese Yuan is an extremely unpopular currency corridor because a) there is no market for it, it’s effectively a peg and b) it’s divorced from usage in the country it’s supposedly from.

That is to say you’ll pay a gigantic premium on that trade.
I'm a Chinese, and I upvoted your comment.
> The interviews mostly serve to keep salaries high.

What incentive do tech companies have in keeping salaries high?
I'm gonna go with the Romanovs, which is more than slightly ironic.
There is a defect while using struct tags to name dependencies - struct tags are static as hard-coded, sometimes we may need to choose a dependency by a dynamic name according to external configuration, but struct tags can't be changed.

Some days ago I had some thoughts on dependency injection and made a tiny library as well, just for reference: https://github.com/go-tk/di
Clearly they are more "neutral", than say Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - all former Soviet client states that are now NATO members.

I do honestly suspect this is about delusions of historical grandeur. Ukraine is after all the historical home of Kievan' Rus (with whom most peoples in the region claim historical antecedence). In its "golden age" Vladimir the Great (Volodymir I, Prince of Novgorod) united the Rus peoples under his reign.
What happens when countries locked out of the fiat system start demanding payment for exports in gold?
None. For better or worse, stopping people from using (which includes hosting for third parties) your code without publishing the modified source code is incompatible with the Free Software Definition.

Any discussion around what a license trying to solve that problem should look like needs to start by accepting that fact, and going from there. Either we change the Free Software Definition, or we accept that such licenses can't be Free Software licenses. There's no magical solution that satisfies both. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
It’s such a fun, “simple” (in an elegant way) piece! Always love seeing it.
Now that you can run containers on Lambda, why are individual releases like this still important? Couldn't you just deploy your own runtime in Docker?
Dependency injection happens all the time in Go. It's just a lot more elegantly expressed in idiomatic Go than in FX.
Cat is already out of the bag. Unless they have encryption equipment with them they’ll have no other option than to broadcast on open air waves. I just want to catalog what they’re already said on open airwaves to thousands of interested watching
It is more likely that the company has a fixed number of licenses for some product, and is using a grid to maximize the amount of work they get out of those licenses. That is the usual practice with expensive EDA software, to the extent that the vendors will help customers set it up.
He could be both rational and incorrect, though. The US and the world in general warmed up overnight to the Ukrainian cause. Even the Trumpiest US senators are doing their best to run away from Trump’s Putin sycophancy on this, which is astonishing.
I dunno. I for one wouldn't want to work at a place where I'm just handed a bunch of docs to implement. I want to be able to ask questions for clarification, suggest alternatives etc. All of which takes time.
Not sure what you mean. If your idea is some kind of technical interview training, a million services for that already exist.
When did WWII start?
Seems like the email service is only available if you buy the domain from them or transfer the domain to them. I couldn’t find how one could use an existing domain that one owns without transferring to them.

Sanctions on Russia’s Central Bank Deal Blow to Country’s Financial Strength
I think even if Ukraine had done nothing they still would've been targeted by Russia. Look at Estonia[0] and Georgia[1]. You could think of them as preludes to what happened in Crimea. It's the same excuse - "we are here to protect Russians". Estonia didn't work out, but Georgia worked out well for Russia. They got away with Crimea too.

I still use Pagemaker 7.0

Yes, it installs and runs on Windows 10.
I don't think it is as you describe it though, the leetcode questions in interviews are usually just slightly rehashed. What would be interesting is giving someone a puzzle they hadn't seen before. My wife can't remember formulas or algorithms for anything - she defends that by saying she can just look it up if she needs it. Saying that, we did Advent of Code last December and she came up with quite a few optimal solutions by first principle (albeit slowly). She'd suck getting through a leetcode interview. I'm quite lucky in that I remember these things really really easily but really struggle with truly novel problems. I just reach for my toolbox. I don't believe these interviews correlate with genuine intelligence, just a particular type of memory and question recognition.
Ask HN: Scientific Study of HN flag dynamics
Would there be any interest in a scientific study of the effectiveness of HN flagging, including:

- false positives
- false negatives
- brigading
- flagged topics vs off-HN contexts
- flagged topic trends over extended time
- content origin (domain, geo, org, author)

Pointers to prior research on distributed flagging and moderation would be welcome.
Yeah. It comes in around the 20th percentile, both on levels.fyi and compared to informal internal data.

Edit: I think the reason for this is that I went over a “four-year vesting cliff,” and you really need at least 2 promos to surmount the cliff. Perhaps I’m being sent an implicit message, up or out.
Directly dealing with a counter party is called a market. A “market maker” is called so because they literally create a market by ensuring there is always is a counter party.
I'm not sure why it wouldn't. You can easily launder crypto, disguise its origin and have a designated third party close the positions out at a banked exchange.

That's literally the value proposition of crypto. That you can conduct international transactions without permission.

So either...

(1) The raison d'etre hasn't been met, and therefore, it's not really providing any value over a permissioned system. Or...

(2) It works exactly as designed, allowing permissionless payments across borders and so oligarchs and demagogues can transact internationally in violation of international sanctions.

I don't see a good outcome. Am I missing something?
Is there a brace that isn’t curly?
You can package a lambda as a container image, but lambda doesn’t itself run the container like it would in dockerd or kube etc, it’s just a packaging mechanism I believe.
Yup. There's literally no reason. My manager keeps bringing up the next year of hard work ahead of me to make it to the next level, and it makes me want to puke. I can just leave now for another company to get to that level. But the truth is also that the interviews are tough, leetcoding and system design is not easy without alot of study
FreeBSD has poor hardware support; the modern graphics acceleration drivers are simply ports of the Linux kernel code. Sure, Valve could port or rewrite the drivers for the limited set of devices they support, but why would they? Valve supports Linux not because of its technical advantages, but simply because it helps mitigate some of the Microsoft- and Apple-related business risks. Linux is undeniably a safer, more conservative business decision than FreeBSD.
I mean they're already well on their way to transitioning to a mix of renewables and electric vehicles. Well on their way does not mean, like 80% of the way. Maybe more like 25-40%?

I think they have a loose plan already, it's just taking a long time to materialize. Like the US, the EU sees how crappy renewables are without massive energy storage.

Lot's of windless and cloudy days this winter has meant cranking up the coal plants, or worse.
Well, NATO citizenship doesn't exist as a concept, so taken literally, yes. NATO is a defensive pact between nations, not a supergovernment like the EU.
You may not agree with his moral choices (clearly, few do, including me), but his actions have been at least rational: https://youtu.be/JrMiSQAGOS4

It would be cool if we could refrain from comparing mentally handicapped people – using slurs, to top it all – to heinous war criminals like Putin. I mean, c'mon, that's super simple stuff.
This is simply the race to the bottom having to contend with the slower-degrading popular conception "basic human decency". I don't think it has anything to do with platforms, more that platforms will all hover around the same boundary.

All media platforms have done this for ... 100 years? more? It's not unique to the internet. It used to be called "pushing the boundary" back in network TV's heydey.

The public sector has the government as an employer. Taxpayers are not the employer of the public sector.

Lobbying government is one of the functions of unions, regardless which sector they represent. Better pay and conditions don’t come from employers just playing nice.
Remind me again which of the attackers was Iraqi?
Only because the company in question didn't actually read the license. Read my analysis to see how broken it is.

This company likely violated the AGPL (as it is doubtful they followed the source offer requirement when modifying the code) - in the same way as 99% of third party AGPL project contributors violate the AGPL on a daily basis, every time they make a change on a GitHub fork. It's a horribly anti-developer license. But if this company had wanted to modify and host AGPL software legally, without providing source, there are workarounds they could've used, as I explained.
>>seeing how weak Russia's military is and how lacking it is operationally and in terms of tech. It's a mess.

Are you referring to Russia's atrocious success in invading Ukraine to date? I thought it was odd too. You'd think if they were really seeking maximum damage there would be no power or communications in Kyev/Kiev and there would be a lot more bloodshed, and perhaps Russia wouldn't have increased gas flow through Ukraine over the past week.

I saw a DPR military soldier interviewed this weekend in a Russian military convey headed west, his comments were not one of those looking to destroy Ukraine and everyone in it. https://youtu.be/-eiNmxCJC4s?t=345

This is a good discussion (from 2015) that does mention the Baltic states and offers an explanation of why 2004 is unlike now and why Ukraine is also different https://youtu.be/JrMiSQAGOS4
That's an interesting thought that I have not seen earlier anywhere else.
That's part of the point. Russia would have moved its military in, secured the territory and formally annexed it into Russia. Victory party. They could have managed that soundly, declared victory, and called it a day. They could have even taken a little bit more territory in the region while they were at it. None of that would have put their military at risk of being revealed to be a mess.
Let's not even start about Android's approach to backwards compatibility. There's a very long list of stuff I loved that no longer runs.
Is there any man-portable anti-aircraft missile?

Hm, based on wikipedia research, there aren't any good high altitude MANPADS against modern air force fighters/bombers.

I wonder if you can do floating balloon/drone wire nets that could mess up fighters? Air superiority is really the hardest thing for guerrillas to fight against.
It's literally in the first sentence of the wikipedia article my dude

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also referred to as the "BP oil spill")
you mean ... Startup-as-a-Service ?
The point is that if the RNG didn’t artificially add elliptic curves in the form of a back door, even a CRQC wouldn’t be able to break the RNG. Grover can be assumed to reduce the security by roughly ~N/2. A design with a sufficiently large N isn’t going to fall to a CRQC generally. The design of Dual EC which includes a backdoor is strictly worse than a design without a low hanging Q to attack.

NSA expects and is pushing the idea that there will be a CRQC. NSA does not say they will be the only people with a CRQC, and so their hold on a monopoly to exploit Dual EC isn’t forever and will someday be in the domain of a person with a laptop (and access to a CRQC).
Science typically requires advanced degrees, publications, etc. You're not doing much of anything a lay person would consider you a "scientist" for with just a Bachelor's. Getting these degrees serves as the hurdle/filter.

Math is the same as science. You're probably not getting hired as a mathematician if you just graduated with your Bachelor's.

[Non-software] engineering has all the professional certification, shadowing, etc. that is required to get very far in the field.

Software is the only STEM career you can get into right out of high school, being completely self taught. Yes obviously a degree helps and it's much easier with one, but not having advanced degrees is a non-starter for most STEM careers, let alone not having one at all.

checks twitter. Yep still banned. Cant help sorry.

I was simply discussing the reality that diplomacy is over. That the Russian people would need to show us something rather specific to reopen diplomacy at this point.

This political opinion according to twitter deserves a ban. Well, the reality is that a very large number of people will be breaking this rule the same way. This is without question a simple fact.
Understanding the problem and how to solve it is harder and more important than matching code style. Unless you're working on trivial CRUD web apps or something where problems and solutions are obvious.
> Crypto, unlike gold, also permits one to publicly flag tainted wallets.

That's why I said I believe the Fed is working out the parameters of the ban. I don't think it will be an outright total ban, but some type of selective interdiction.
Fascinating! Thanks for the visualisation!
Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe with a patriotic motivated population (and military/reco support from the 1st world) against de-motivated, de-moralised enemy. I predict mass protests in Russia in the next months, overthrowing of the dictator, and a new government. Also a regime change in Belarus as a bonus.

Glory to Ukraine!

Supporting the idea, while suggesting he can't provide proof, Marco Rubio (Vice President of Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) has this to say:
"I wish I could share more,but for now I can say it’s pretty obvious to many that something is off with #Putin

He has always been a killer,but his problem now is different & significant

It would be a mistake to assume this Putin would react the same way he would have 5 years ago"
Source: https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1497393912821915648

Later, Rubio says:
"Let me stress again that we are NOT dealing with 2008 #Putin

It is a grave error to assume he will make the same calculations & decisions today that he would have made in the past

The old Putin was a cold blooded but calculating killer

This new Putin is even more dangerous"
https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1497968757091807234

Obviously, he's not going so far as to say that Putin has "lost his marbles" and Rubio definitely has his own agenda. My impression is that either Putin's cognitive state has changed over the last five years or Russia's doctrine of "escalate to de-escalate" has changed the playbook.
I'm not sure this works. Basically, sets up dire stakes to maintain a job for as long as you can, and makes perverse incentives on the auditing of the system.

Cards on the table, I'm very keen on some sort of UBI. I also have doubts on much of the reporting I've seen surrounding it.

I further think this needs a way to both double down in access and advancement for those with access, while further increasing funding and effort for those that don't. Main belief is that success affords more and more. Such that you want to double down in success, but you also need to use more of that success to lift up everyone.
Well, block intervals will be affected until the difficulty parameter adjusts. But not the end of the world.
I actually like the conversational hook. Here's an article I wrote about it from a few years ago https://letterstoanewdeveloper.com/2019/02/25/use-a-conversa...

But I think the post author does a great job of outlining the whole process. Key points:

* have fun, try not to put pressure on yourself
* get into the conversation normally
* make it about the other person (but not to the point of fanboy/fangirl)
* keep it short (a few minutes, 10 max)
* ask if you can follow up
* if given permission, follow up! (few folks do this, it can really separate you from the pack)
Apple designs services to cater to its own hardware, first and foremost. The intent is to get more people to buy Apple hardware. Any apps or services available on other platforms are usually poor efforts from the company (like iCloud or iTunes on Windows or Apple Music on Android).

With Apple focusing more on growing its services business to compensate for any saturation in the hardware market space, there’s some chance that the situation might improve for other platforms (but those would be Windows and Android, not Linux). But Apple already has about a 70% profit margin on its services. So it’s unlikely that other platforms will be prioritized in the next few years (it’s not in Apple’s DNA).
I suspect you could, if you only used roads built with your own money, on land that you own.
