> Those things only happen to the extent that voters let them

I don't know how it is in other places, but in the US the only people who can effectively make change in government are the extremity wealthy, corporations, and industry lobby groups. The average citizen and mass-based interest groups have effectively zero impact on policy. (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-poli...)

It's one thing to say "Let's not be cynical", but we can't ignore evidence either. As disheartening as it may be, voters are not able to effectively influence policy against the interests of a very small number of very rich people. As much as I'd like to think it's still possible to change things within the system we have, that same system has been captured and manipulated to make that increasingly difficult over centuries.
Yeah, I think Fortunate Sun is pretty explicitly an anti-war protest song. If anything, I think it's weird when it gets used in military montages in movies and TV, although presumably some of them are aware of its meaning and are picking it for ironic effect.
Failing that, a hand-bound book.

Or cave wall.

Primer | Engineering Manager, Software Architect, Senior FE/BE Engineers| REMOTE | https://www.sayprimer.com

We're building the "CircleCI of Growth Marketing" at Primer. Growth marketing has boomed in recent years and every B2B company needs a tailored, data-driven approach to their market in order to win business. Primer is enabling our customers to accomplish this much faster without having to engineer an expensive system.

Here are some reasons to work with us:

* We originally bootstrapped ourselves to $700k in revenue with a team of 4 and recently raised a round to support our consistent 20.1% MoM growth in 2021.

* We invest in our team and catapult careers. Many people end up at top-tiered companies like Dropbox, Facebook, and Tesla beyond working together.

* Our team is fully distributed, supports flexible schedules, and we spend 95% of our time outside of meetings. Many of us have young kids and we prioritize work/life balance.

* 50% of our product/engineering team is women.

* Our engineering ceremonies and technology are world-class, put engineers in the drivers' seat, and emphasize transparency.

* Our culture is high-achieving, genuinely kind, and collaborative.

The roles we'd like to fill are:

* Engineering Manager

* Technical Lead / Software Architect

* Senior Frontend / Backend Engineers

Our stack is React/Node, but we welcome polyglots. In general, we're looking for thought partners to help us architect a solution for the future so experience with other languages (e.g. Elixir, Go, Clojure, Kotlin, Haskell, Rust) is a plus. 7+ years experience minimum.

What makes you think that the US and EU have any real interest to see Ukraine succeed? Besides believing their platitudes and propaganda, I mean.
My eBook: Boost Your Confidence in Vanilla JavaScript
Why not leave it to Ukrainians to decide if they want to be reunited or not? Why does Putin believe it is right for him to make that choice for them? The fact that his army is actively bombing them makes this argument ridiculous.
Sure, but imagine the scenario that you're one of about 5 non-white people in your entire school life, and the area you lived in has a similar demographic. You might feel generally more alienated from society. It might make it slightly harder to accept/understand your own identity, and being quizzed about it further (at times when you've already mentioned your nationality) is unlikely to help.
That might be an effective way to fight Russia, but I personally would start looking for alternatives if the companies I have bought from started remotely bricking my devices.
> That didn't happen overnight, and neither will energy independence.

Thing is, if energy independence doesn't happen overnight, climate change might renderer Europe and US uninhabitable.

The only countries that profit from that is those that have access to artic circle.
> with absolutely no provocation

This is false. NATO in 2008 invited Ukraine to join. This is the equivalent of Cuba inviting Russia to setup a military base on US borders. The US's reaction was to economically nuke Cuba.

MSCI considers blanket removal of Russia across indices
This is waaaay off topic.

Carry down that line of thought and you might fall into all sorts of nonsense. Note things like Pope Gregory (n?) saw a pair of slaves in a market in Rome in the n00s. These two were picked up from somewhere that would eventually become part of England/GB. He was told they were Angles. The story goes he quipped that they were "surely Angels" due to their physique and long blonde hair. Part of England is known as Anglia still and of course England itself is "Angleland".

It seems a bit odd that, that anecdote and play on words survives a good 1500 years during which time English has gone through three major stages (old/middle/modern). However you can easily posit from that story that Britons were also enslaved, if you very carefully define "Briton"!

Anyway, my point is that you can't really use terms like american slavery. History can't be stuffed into boxes like that with pejorative terms scattered like confetti.

The caste system being discussed here is nominally an indian sub continent thing and way older in origin than the slavery employed around C17th onwards with the horrendous triangle of trade.
Yeah, but let's face it. Their "elite" spetsnaz got captured during an operation. The fearsome Chechenians were on the way to capture the leaders, and then turned out the Ukrainians already drone striked them including the general.

And what did Putin lose in that country anyway? The entire population hates Russians and are willing to die for their freedom. Let's say he can capture it. They have no natural resources of interest or anything like that. Meanwhile his own economy, that was already as tiny as the Benelux, goes completely to the shitterhole.

He has nukes, yes, he has nukes.
You're right! Rimworld and Factorio have been on my Steam wishlist for a while.
Yes, and it seems to be "ego", which seems like a poor justification.
I heard many of these arguments along the lines of "NATO is responsible for the war in Ukraine because they shouldn't expand" - like prof. John Mearsheimer's famous video.

The point is, these experts may understand geopolitics, but they don't understand people. These countries don't join NATO because the USA pushes them or because "NATO wants" to expand. They do it because they're afraid of an aggressive state with a history of offensive wars. They don't want to became Putin's vassals like Belarussians who recently tried to decide about themselves and met with violent terror. So yes, in the mind of Putin it's the fault of NATO, but it is a very sick point of view.
> and there's zero good reason that Apple couldn't provide their build tools for other platforms

How do you figure? Then Apple would have to maintain their build tools for other platforms. Waste of resources for something that ultimately isn't going to make Apple money. It's no different than Microsoft intentionally gimping Excel on Mac.

I've never seen anyone complain that they have to own a Windows computer to develop Windows apps. Or a Playstation to develop Playstation games. I'm not sure why Apple is such an exception in your eyes.
There needs to be a word for when you are forced to quit something that you are too invested/embarrassed/whatever to quit yourself.

Someone who doesn't understand that it's taboo and is curious of a system that existed for 3000 years? I understand that it's a painful heritage for some but to an outsider this seems akin to genealogy for example.

So, assuming there is a hierarchy and Indian are not better than all other races, it seems the conclusion must be all societies have some kind of caste system, it's just we don't see it since we don't look for that sort of thing?
The first link needs a section on Smooth Scrolling.

Here's an HTML and CSS snippet to implement smooth scrolling:

That's it. An empty string. In other words, nothing. It's already implemented in the browser! Wasn't that easy?

Now stop wasting time on an JS-based implementation of smooth scrolling that breaks in at least 1 browser.
Sure, but it's not mentioned in the article title at all, it just says "block Russian financial institutions", which is now required by law.
It has rather different connotations in Britain.

As far as I understand it from Americans I know, quite a few people in the US have a fascination with where their, and others', ancestors came from, so it could be a fairly innocuous question. Pretty much any American I know would happily rattle off an answer of 'oh, I'm half Irish, a quarter French, and a quarter Spanish' or something similar.

Here in the UK, even though we're also a nation of immigrants and invaders throughout history, there is much more of an attitude of 'people whose ancestors have always been here' ('British') versus 'immigrants' ('not really British') - even if the 'immigrants' are from families who have also been here for generations.

So yeah. Generally 'but where are you really from?' means something a little like 'I don't believe that you're one of us people who have always been here'. Whether that's malicious or just naive depends on the person, but I can imagine it gets pretty tiring.

(I'm the son of a Chinese immigrant, but due to my other parent being Scottish I pass for white and thus I've never actually been asked the question!)
There are several guilty parties. US/NATO are not fully responsible.

Why do companies even build locally anymore? It's never been cheaper to spin up your own cluster that's going to be more than enough horsepower. If you give your devs the $899 air instead of the $2300 16", I feel like that $1400 surplus per dev would go a long way in buying some nodes that are going to still be some muscle 5 years from now. You could buy two mac minis per dev and set up an m1 cluster if you wanted. If you didn't want that overhead, plenty of companies sell compute by the second now these days too.
When lockdowns bring non-servant class comfortable work from home privileges of course they praise the idea it's too dangerous to go back to work instead just rallying for better worker rights aka work from home. By any means.
I'm reminded of the discovery that grapefruit impacts how drugs are processed by the body.

If I'm remembering correctly, the scientists were trying to find a way to see if alcohol impacted some drug, but wanted the measurement to be blind. So don't participants would need to drink alcohol without being sure if they had or not. The author and his wife spent a lively evening trying to find some kind of mix that hid the alcohol and found grapefruit to be very good at it.

Then when the actual study ran, they had participants take the drug or a control as well as vodka with grapefruit or just grapefruit. And to their surprise, the grapefruit had a massive effect regardless of the vodka!
Ancestry is pretty common small talk for White Americans.

I like learning more about people and the world so I like to ask people about where they’re from. The immigrants I’ve spoken to are proud of their heritage and don’t take offense. I have noticed though that their descendants can take offense, perhaps because they take it as implying they’re somehow inauthentic. All that’s required is a little delicacy. Instead of asking “where are you really from” instead ask something like “it sounds like your family has a really interesting story, would you like to tell me about it?”

Maybe because this PROVES that Bitcoin is not a safe, distributed currency system if this is possible. At any point any government can deny you access to your Bitcoin or any other block chain "wealth".

The problem is that it still operates using a centralized server that does all the heavy lifting to implement the block chain. It's a single-point failure baked into the fundamental architecture.

Obviously (?) to be somewhat safe and truly independent of "nefarious government surveillance and taxation", you'd need to:

1. Have all computation required to operate ONLY on the computers of the two transactees probably with zero knowledge proof communication

2. Have any central features like the ledger be transactor agnostic like a stateless web server of HTTP 1.0

3. Have dozens if not thousands of ledgers that can be arbitrarily used at random to diffuse identities and transactions

4. Have reconciliation of ledgers be handled with zero-knowledge proofs where nothing identifying is transacted

Basically you have to make it pretty similar in all architecture and functional ways to cash to even approach the distributed nature of cash or metals.

Let me know when the above blockchain system actually exists and I'll reconsider buying Bitcoin! Until then, ANYONE with Bitcoin can suddenly end up on the "wrong side" of the powerful and have everything TRIVIALLY taken from them by "denial of service"

I am from “upper caste”.
My experience might not be commonly heard perspective.
In 10th grade of schooling, my parents changed my lastname to avoid that folks figure out the caste.
Due to affirmative action (aka reservation) on steroids, upper caste were losing opportunities. My parents wanted to avoid that I lose out on selection, promotions.., where subjective discretion was involved.

I do not recall ever seeing casteism at workplace.
So reading these reports have been surprising to me, since these are not subtle, but rampant.
I can only attribute it to my privilege driven echo chamber. Or the fact that I never worked in US. (only briefly in India).

What I read in media disgusts me. I am very motivated to make sure nothing like this happens in my zone of control / influence, at work.

I know casteism is deeply rooted in Indian society. I do not relate with it. Many folks I know, don’t either. On optimistic side, I hope that means with newer generations, casteism will dilute and wither away.
Perhaps class system is a better term. The terms nearly mean the same thing but not quite. I think the caste system is closer in origin to the societal structure in
the feudal system that was common in medieval Europe, than the modern class system.
Maybe it's time to finally completely switch to embedded...
> This being St Petersburg, I think Russia will really make a serious fuss on even imagining NATO that distance from St Petersburg.

Isn't Estonia already part of NATO? Granted the Finnish border is a lot longer, but in terms of straight-line distance to St Petersburg it would be nothing new.
Last time I was there (in college during Obama's presidency), most of the students I got close to secretly told me they disliked their leaders but couldn't do anything about it.

I attended lectures taught by incredibly nationalistic professors with an almost religiously fervent level of support for the CCP's "triumph over the America and the world" (paraphrase, but true to the content). Most of the young folks either didn't care or harbored distrust. They told me corruption was rampant and people were bitter.

After the earthquake, people really hated on the CCP.

Anecdotal, but it really shaped my opinions.

Look at Hong Kong. They clearly hate it, but they can't do anything about it.

Hacking group threatens to leak Nvidia GPU driver and firmware data
I don't think so. ARM may just not care about losing that market. The CPUs they design at that ultra-low-end really don't carry over into the mid & high ends, which is where the high profile design wins & "high" (relatively) margins are anyway. Like what makes for a good hard drive controller doesn't really have anything at all to do with what makes a good smartphone CPU. So RISC-V winning at hard drive controllers or other (tiny) embedded usages is not really setting up an "S" curve for explosion here to challenge ARM's markets. They are really fundamentally different markets & products.

Kinda like how Intel just never cared about going after embedded, and they're not exactly struggling as a result of that. With the big asterisk of smartphones where scaling up proved a quicker path to shipping than scaling down, at which point inertia took over, but for that to repeat would require a currently unknown new product category.
As a long term JavaScript developer my view into the world of software is distorted to this slice of the industry, so that I what I am speaking to.

Perseverance is not rewarded in software, at least not in JavaScript. The key reason is that there is no trust. Employers do not trust the competency of the developers and the developers do not trust each other. The result is that the work is typically extremely beginner and developers are not expected to write original code aside from trivial React components. Everything else, I mean this literally, is a downloaded NPM package because there is substantially greater trust in anonymous strangers than your coworkers. If you are interested/capable of doing more you aren't compatible with current hiring trends and will not be hired.

In all fairness though if you can get hired in a low cost of living market for 170k knowing almost nothing about how the software or the platform really work doing beginner chores then why bother persevering with hard work to be anything more? Eventually most of these people will elevate to management where their technical experience is irrelevant anyways.
This is why competent organizations have written coding style guidelines. Everyone's code should look the same, and personal preferences shouldn't be allowed for things like freeing objects or testing for null. When the committer and reviewer can't reach consensus between themselves then they can always escalate to the program technical lead for a final decision.
