But this is banning someone who has actively spoken against the war. If you're a Russian doing that, you're exposing yourself to danger in the name of doing the right thing.

This isn't someone who was caught up in broader sanctions, like the innocent Russians whose life savings are being demolished. That's terrible, but in the broader context it is understandable and necessary. This is someone being specifically targeted for his nationality despite the fact - and this is the key differentiator - that doing so in no way does any damage to Russia.

You want to harm Russia? Treat anti-war Russians well. Show that the world isn't blindly taking action out of anger, but rather doing so in a targeted way to harm Putin and the Russian government. Russians who are speaking out against the war are good for Ukraine and the rest of the world, and they're bad for Putin. It makes no sense to punish them.

There's certainly a gray area for Russians who don't comment - they could be pro-war, or they could be reasonably afraid for their safety - but for Russians who say "In my view what we are doing is very wrong from both a moral view and practical view," punishment is counterproductive.

All of the shop talk about how the dealer supposedly makes a profit or doesn't, I think should be treated as small talk that has no bearing on actually making a deal.

As a customer it's important to listen and say how I respect them and that they need to make a living, because salespeople think customers are all lying scumbags. It has to be as clear as day that I intend to make a deal as soon as possible.

But whether this car is being sold at a profit or why is irrelevant. I'm not their accountant.
Billionaires are not required for civilization.

Put aside the hereditary wealthy, whom I don't think you're thinking of, either. The existence of billionaires is an artifact of inefficient legal and economic systems, and the set of people who would work hard at whatever example you're thinking of for $billions but not for lesser, but still extreme, wealth is null.

Thanks!

I will definitely do that.

I connected with the Actor model when I found a comment by Carl Hewitt that everyone reinvents the actor model. Sadly, I can't seem to find that comment now. An Adama document is basically a durable actor that can only acknowledge messages.

I'm working on figuring out a way for Adama documents to generate notifications.
The great circle distance between SF and Amsterdam is about 5,450 miles. A round trip is 10,900 miles. At the speed of light, that's 58.5 milliseconds. So in theory, infinitely efficient computers (and some sort of light-in-a-vacuum wire) and networking equipment could knock 60% off that time, but no more.

However, I suspect one big problem is that there are a number of hops between the Netherlands and San Francisco. I suspect there's not a fiber line that goes right through Idaho to Greenland, then, Scotland, and then the Netherlands. I'm curious what the actual route is be and how many miles are involved.
“…In exit surveys during the last two years, a majority said they would recommend working at Twitch but preferred to move on, the spokesperson said.”
Yeah right… Give me a friggin break. Exit interviews? You are telling me that they actually _believe_ that exit interviews are truthful or honest? It is crystal clear to me the B.S. being said here by the company rep. This is all corporate politics and it shows. The vast majority of the tech employment situation nowadays (in the U.S. at least) is that we are effectively “tech mercenaries” with loyalty only to our close colleagues and no loyalty to any company. Companies burned their employees’ loyalty away during the mass layoffs of 2020 and 2021. I know there is some nuance to the layoffs that occurred for some company circumstances - but not the vast majority of publicly traded enterprises on the stock market.
Exit interviews are an HR mandated necessity and are completely useless. The claim is that exit surveys are to help better understand _why_ an employee has decided to leave and then relay to management to help them with improving employee retention. This is a lie. In my personal experience, exit interviews are really just a final test by the company to determine if the exiting employee should be blacklisted, kept on lawsuit watch, and/or can be trusted to keep their mouth shut (I.e. will they honor their non-disclosure agreements? Can they keep our IP secret? Will they blab about other internal product ideas or customers to their new employer? Are they going to try to make others quit with them? Etc).
In almost all of the cases that I’m aware of where an ex-employee was honest about the long list of issues/abuses on their way out, it has always been a bridge burned and never turned out for the better.
My personal policy on exit surveys is this: on your way out, be a nice as possible and keep you mouth shut about the bad stuff. When asked why you are going, the only good answer is “I just know it is my time to move on.” And if asked if you would recommend others to work at the employer, you will respond with a yes because this is true (For example, yes you would absolutely recommend someone you don’t like to work at a place you don’t like). And after that, say NOTHING else. Be nice then run for the hills.

Edit:: one note on my personal policy on exit interviews, the example provided _implies_ the previous employment was a bad situation. Thankfully I haven’t had a great deal of negative ones. I still stick with my opinion of lying your ass off at exit interviews because it just isn’t worth the hassle otherwise.
Religious people don't tend to be against war, historically. One general famously said "Kill them all and let God sort it out." The idea that God has knowable opinions against MAD policy seems a bit of a stretch.

I've always thought that the only way to lose at Dark Souls is to give up, and go Hollow.

It's a small missed opportunity that From Software didn't indicate where in the Game players went Hollow; that is, if a player died, show their bloodstain and how they died. If a player died and hasn't resumed playing for a very long time (they gave up), then put a new hollowed enemy instead of a bloodstain.
That's not enough to change the outcome of the current situation or anything mid-term. Propaganda can just as easily blame it on the US and keep discussion otherwise under wraps.

In 10 years it will be a blip on the radar as they initiate construction of the 'Putin the Great' Grand Memorial.

At this rate Putin will achieve all of his objectives and pay very little in the grand scheme of history.

I just had to chime in here, 2 is coincidence but 3 is a trend. They did the exact same thing to us, spending months telling us to solve an issue that was clearly a result of issues on their end, and despite repeated proof would push us into meetings at really unkind times, not doing the steps we recommended and being increasingly rude and accusatory while demanding time with the product team simply to express discontent.

> choosing the same old dictator for 20+ years

You don't _choose_ a dictator..

Dictators stay in power by force: they kill, torture, jail and brainwash people. They control the media and monitor all communications and anyone who speaks against them will suffer dire consequences.

Perhaps you ask, well why don't people just "rise up"? Take up arms and overthrow the regime? Well in that case, the government would rather flatten the entire nation with airstrikes than let the rebels win..

Even after painting the streets with their own blood and somehow accomplishing this, there is no guarantee that a democracy would take place if the central government is weakened..

Still don't believe me? Look at the Arab spring and where it led the people of Egypt and Syria.

Honestly, the comments on HN regarding this matter are very naive..

Bluff is a good party game, I have played it many times with many different guests. If playing with many people use 2 decks instead of 1 and only the people sitting close to the current player can Challenge - otherwise there is always somebody that wants to challenge and the game does not progress.

Trick to winning (mostly) is to first bluff by playing your singles and then playing your real ones at the end of the round and try to make people think you bluff.

They will be high but there are also reserves which can be used initially. Eventually the price will stabilise as the new supply chain (without russia) matures. I think as long as the price is relatively lucrative now so that transportation is seen as a priority then the price will not go extremely high.
I think the pricing page might be trying to hard. You typically see the endorsements and "also used by..." on the home page or success story type pages. If I rip out everything between the plans and the FAQ the result is much calmer (to me) and I can focus on the difference between the offerings.

Maybe A/B test the page with and without all the ratings/endorsements and see if one leads to better conversion.

This is because it’s really about the parents. Everything hinges on the parents. No amount of money will enable a school system to completely compensate for poor parenting (whatever the reason is). I don’t understand why it’s not openly discussed.
Perhaps the most valuable classes I took were high school English. I'd never thought that writing weekly essays, compositions, and book reports would prepare me to write a book about computing. After seeing it on several best-seller lists, I called my high school English teacher and thanked him for all his time and encouragement.

And not just writing: he made us perform Shakespeare. Really handy when you're interviewed on TV and have two minutes to summarize your book. Or when you're invited to do a keynote speech at a conference.

Yep, I learned to code in 1965 (assembler & Fortran II on our high school's IBM-1620). Learned calculus, organic chem, and basic electronics as well. But nothing came close to three years of terrific (and challenging) high school English classes.
This really depends upon what you enjoy. I prefer strategy games and I would take exclusively Paradox games over all the games on the switch combined, nevermind everything else I can find on steam.

A better curriculum would meet you halfway. Write about physics or math, not about ancient classics.

This isn't only a copyright issue. Nintendo can also complain that these videos create a likelihood of confusion regarding an association between Nintendo and Steam Deck. That's a trademark issue, not copyright.

Before you say, "No reasonable person would believe that Switch games running on Steam Deck are authorized by Nintendo," that's an argument that you raise when you are sued for trademark infringement. No one wants that, so they take the videos down.

I'm in a relatively new job in an organisation with lots of systems and a complex web of scenarios that involve each of these systems, and I'm under-fucking-water in terms of how well I understand things in comparison to where I need to be for doing my job properly / competently. I've been working on a few diagrams and documentation to try to make sense of it, including asking questions of related persons, and all that has gotten me is three separate people questioning why I'm working on something that isn't "one of my assigned Jira tickets".

So I'm currently in a negative spiral of being not-particularly-useful because I don't know enough about how their shit works, and also now being reticent to ask questions in order to help solve the first problem, because it seems to self-nominate me as "not on task".

Will be applying for other jobs this weekend. Can't handle this BS.
If everyone just use the latest macOS and the latest iOS, I'm less concerned. But I haven't heard any IT manager enforcing that. macOS 12 has come out, but usually they still allows you using macOS 11 as long as you have installed all the security bug fixes.

For macOS and iOS, the problem is more complicated. Let's say I want to publish a package to pypi.org. The package contains some binaries compiled from C++ and it requires C++17. Then what is the lowest macOS version the binary can support?? It's very tricky that if the build machine which generates the package is macOS 11, then it can have Xcode 12.5. Otherwise it has to use XCode 12.4 or lower. And in XCode 12.4 it says std::optional, which is a C++17 feature, is only supported in macOS 10.14+. But if the build machine has macOS 11 and XCode 12.5, then the binary would be able to run on 10.13 too. And in whatever case, it can't support 10.12 or lower.

I believe you don't want to build tensorflow/pytorch packages from source. So the maintainers of these two OSS projects must consider the things above. If you wonder why they don't use C++17, this is the reason. For the same reason they want to avoid C11 optional features too.

A discussion about gifted classes and acceleration will obviously swamp this thread, but I want to take issue with the premise of the actual article. I think everyone sees in the San Francisco recall what they want to. The idea that it was a backlash against changing admission policies at schools like Lowell seems like the flimsiest of the arguments; Lowell admits students from just a tiny fraction of the households that voted to recall these board members.

I don't have an opinion about magnet schools and admission policies, and I'm sure, like everyone else is, that Lowell was a factor for some recall voters, but if it was the only issue, it seems likely that the board members would have survived the vote. The arguments about school closures and the renaming debacle seem much more plausible.
Yeah, it's a huge distraction from your core business. I work at a company that tries to take care of it for you: https://anrok.com

It's very frustrating trying to get good information about education. My kid is going into kindergarten this fall, and... its very hard to understand what is a good district and what's not. There's a thousand metrics, most seem to be... gamed to not get the administration fired for not following the current fad. I've resorted to using "average SAT score" as a proxy.

My kid might (or might not) be gifted; but he has highly educated parents; he's being exposed to concepts that might not be aligned with average educated parents. He's bright enough. I'm concerned that there won't be adequate content for him in the school district due to some concern that smart people demonstrate inequality or something.

I periodically wonder if https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron is taken as some kind of blueprint, to be honest.
This is pure idiocy, they don't even have slightly the same operating frequencies.
> you are failing to impose a cost for Russian war crimes.

Isn't the simple logic that the people who should bear the cost of war crimes are those who commit these war crimes?

> It's an awful situation for everyone involved and the best situation would be for an immediate cessation of hostilities and military withdrawal so the ban can be lifted.

Not only that, but the immediate cessation of hostilities and military withdrawal would be better for everyone even if there were no ban. Aside from a few deranged hawks in the Russian government I can't see how this conflict is good for anyone, Russian or not.

> this is simply chess and nobody is dying.

And the ban does nothing that would influence Putin's decisions. The economic sanctions might change his attitude (only time will tell). A ban of Russian chess players won't. Sanctions are a tool to force Putin to the negotiation table. Pointless actions like this are only harming people with no influence or responsibility on the conflict.

> On the other hand, thousands of civilians are dead, families are divided, and there is real hardship.

This war is dreadful, and I would like (without much hope) that Putin and those responsible for it respond for their crime. I just don't see how imposing hardships (however less strong they may be) on people unrelated to the conflict has any bearing on this.
Could you talk a bit about the personal project? (I would love to have more walking and biking infra! :) )

You sound like you’re doing enjoyable basic research and that you’re having a bit of a crisis due to being 37 and your wife also having wants and dreams. I get it. In the short term get a job and have that baby.

Long term “playing jazz” doing basic research sounds like it probably makes you really happy. You can probably find a balance. Going corporate for a few years can work really well financially but don’t sell yourself short, I bet Amazon would love your ass.
> People who purchased games on the original Wii Virtual Console had to pay per-game fees to upgrade to native Wii U versions. As if that wasn't cheeky enough the Wii U NES emulation was terrible. Bad colors and serious input lag. Instead of fixing it for those customers who already paid (sometimes twice) for those games, Nintendo released the NES Classic which had a much better emulator… but only if you paid again.

I'm definitely not going to defend how bad the Wii U emulators were, but asking users to pay for a new emulator doesn't seem so unreasonable to me. Developing an emulator takes work. If you don't want to use the new emulator, play the game in Wii mode.

Yes, paying for the emulator on a per-game basis is weird, but any other model would be prohibitively difficult for consumers to understand.

> Remaster are cool but the way Nintendo approaches them is another example of how early adopters get the short end, with Wii U games getting re-releases on Switch (great) with additional content like Bowser's Fury (also great) but without making that content available as DLC to people who already paid full price for the original versions.

But again, Nintendo had to port the game to the Switch, so I think it's reasonable to charge for that. And while they certainly could have instituted some sort of upgrade pricing model, it would have quickly become prohibitively complicated, particularly when you start considering retail versions of the game.

My feeling is, I paid $60 for Mario 3D World in 2013 because it was worth (more than) $60. I already played it and got my money's worth. The Switch version doesn't have enough new content for me to justify paying another $60, but for anyone who never owned a Wii U, it's a great deal and I'm happy for them.

Games (particularly non-Nintendo games) often become much cheaper if you don't mind waiting a few years, if not less.
