"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, “This is genius.” Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. (sarcastic)

So, Putin is now saying, “It’s independent,” a large section of Ukraine. I said, “How smart is that?” And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force… We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right. No, but think of it. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy… I know him very well. Very, very well."

I'm certified architect in both AWS and GCP and I prefer AWS. But it's possible it's because I learned it first.

GCP is easier to start with for me, but becomes annoying because it's missing things that I can do in aws.

For example, cloud run can't run docker containers that doesn't listen to a port. Just run it once and shut down like Fargate does in AWS.

They want people to use kubernetes which is more complex and has features a lot of people don't need ever. Fargate is simple and just works.

So I prefer AWS for reasons like that but I think GCP is easier to understand.

As a founder myself, I echo this sentiment, that building and selling are indeed not the same thing. They are both important, but having a mindset for marketing, selling, finding an audience, either yourself, or in a co-founder, is essential.

And it never stops being important.
AS failed at natural language though.

The experience is exactly programming with more keywords. There's still a rigid grammar and keywords have precise meanings. You still have to look up what keywords are available, what contexts to use them, what arguments they want, etc etc. It's programming. Harder even.

Ideally there's a bunch of real conversational NLP with common sense and context. This is really what you want:

find my firefox window
move it to the second workspace
on that desktop make slack to be the top window
close all finder windows

Yeah, the DOD lies, like they lied about Russia invading Ukraine.
How could glorious Russia commit more than 0.5% of their forces if they haven't won yet?
I see it similar to self-selection.

Those interested will dig into the OS, then find Automator, then find Apple Script, notice similarities to Minecraft servers, and ultimately choose their own adventure.

I wonder though, if these features were more forward, how would that shape what the “typical” user discovers? As Bradbury-esque as that may sound…
These sorts of libraries are great in my experience. Here's a comparison of some of the more popular ones:

> These people have bought noise cancelling headphones, so when they join a meeting everyone else it bothered.

Noise cancelling headphones have directional mics that typically do a very good job of only picking up the wearer's voice.

If people really want to sound clear, a headset with a mic boom is every better. 0 background noise gets through.

These are all very well solved problems.

Heck my laptop back in 2005 (!!!) had a directional mic array. I could use an included utility app to control where in the room I wanted the mic to record from, I could record from in front of my laptop when going to lectures, or have the mics pointed at me when recording myself.

(That was a super cool laptop!)

>he thinks of Ukrainians as the same people as Russians, not as inferiors and definitely not as Hitler thought of Jews, for fuck sake.

definitely you aren't from Russian nor Ukrainian culture, and thus can't really "appreciate" the 2 last speeches of Putin where he took whatever gloves were still on. His approach here is more like Hitler's to Slavic than Jews - ie. some share of population will still be allowed biological existence while stripped of cultural identity and denied any self-governance.

>He seems to take issue with Ukraine's existence as a separate country, not just simply with its pure existence!

he denies existence of Ukrainians as a separate ethnicity, in his proclaimed view Ukrainians are just a version of Russians not capable of governing themselves, etc. while you can see his deep hate to the Ukrainians.

>they've only used around 75 aircraft out of thousands that they have at their disposal

thousands? you're really no aware what is going on. Russia has pretty small number of actually flying combat ready aircraft, and those 75 is all what they could use without leaving the rest of the country completely naked.

>whatever it is Putin wants, there has been zero evidence he's looking to eliminate the Ukrainian people

you can't listen to his speeches, so you are trying to get the best interpretation possible. Unfortunately Putin isn't going for such an interpretation. In a few days there have already been 1M people who left Ukraine, and will be many more. The resisting will die - he was clear about that, you can find the transcript.
And whoever left in depopulated country will be converted to "Russian", and there will be no more Ukrainians there.

Forcing people out, and killing or converting the rest, all that on the base of ethnicity - that is textbook ethnical cleansing and genocide.
Norway seems to have avoided it the past few decades by following the advice Tony Montana didn’t: don’t get high on your own supply. They dampen the effects of easy oil money by putting most of the profits into their sovereign wealth fund and, unlike just about every other oil producing country, taxing fossil fuels even harder than countries like Germany and Denmark (which tax them pretty hard).
Better than wireshark would be a BPF program. For established sockets you can get retransmission stats out of the kernel with the `ss` tool, but that leaves you no visibility into transient sockets.

Switching to QUIC or other user-space protocol would give you the best observability.
score! Honestly I like BBEdit to this day for text, and the vector drawing programs. No mention of postscript printing, but that works well (pre-Level III postscript). Very fast interface for most things, even faster than many desktop computers today for native Mac software. I definitely kept my OS install disks and amenities, but it is somewhat humbling to read about entire ROMs and SCSI hacks here.. not easy! very nice to see it on YNews.
To be as to the point as I can about it, you can take a stock 94' PT cruiser (which was very adventurous undertaking during it's initial release year mind you) and put a spoiler, very cool paint job, and even neon lights on it in 2022, but it's not going to win any drag races without a major overhaul.

The small innovations and bolt-ons just aren't cutting it.

> when the Ukraine government called for hackers to defend against Russia

Where?

All i read on that link that Reuters wrote that some guy from ukraine posted on telegram that some senior official from defense told him something..

When they contacted ukranian defense they couldnt confirm it.
Strange text. I would say it is anti-European.
The Russians are all complicit since they are all paying taxes to fund the war and obeying the dictator's edicts (unless they are in prison.)

Maybe it's true of Americans for the war in Iraq or whatever but my objection is specifically to the weird (to me) use of the word "punishment" in the post I replied to.

I'd say don't talk about "punishment" as if your position has a moral high ground. Let's talk about being complicit.

The post above argues we should help fund the war efforts to kill Ukrainians through profitable business relations with the Russians, and the poster apparently thinks they have the moral high ground given the use of the word "punishment" to describe the the idea we shouldn't help the Russians continue to fund their efforts to kill people.
Not really. Sending sanctions towards ordinary Russians and sending javelins/stingers to Ukraine will only give you the following outcome:

1 - People who hates Putin regime still hates them, maybe a bit more, not much to gain here;

2 - People who likes Putin will hate you, again not much to lose here;

3 - People in the middle might hate Putin, but will definitely hate you more because you DIRECTLY hit them;

4 - Sending javelins/stingers to Ukraine will NOT stop Russian troops, but only to inflict more damage to them and at the same time make siege much more bloodier. It will just prolong the conflict with net lose on ordinary Ukraine citizen's side. Ukraine is still going to lose (and at the same time lost more human lives) anyway. The fantasy of "ordinary citizen taking urban guerilla warfare and driving enemies out" only works in games, unfortunately.

5 - If western countries REALLY want to minimize the damage to ordinary citizens, there are two feasible ways, one is to send in peace keeping troops including Air force and play a strong face to Putin. To avoid conflict with advancing Russian army a no-fly zone can be setup in Western Ukraine to accept refugees. The second way is to push the Ukraine army to let ordinary people to flee, not to keep them in the city.

I’ve recently wrote some AppleScript for some window management and as someone with more experience with C-style languages I find it’s syntax deeply confusing.

It was more of a trial and error thing than anything else, tutorials online worked more or less.

I see that it is incredibly easy to read, also for non-programmers, but I find it really hard to write, at least as someone that is not very into it.
> This is like saying that it’s absolute torture to make kids walk up two flights of stairs, and then when rebutted by someone else saying the kids will be fine, trotting out that some kids are in wheelchairs.

No, it's not, because you're talking about an unusual and gross medical test. A literal, very personal intrusion, poking something far up where kids are told not to poke things. Not walking upstairs.

> I don’t know anyone who has ever swabbed their kid’s throat for COVID. Maybe that’s a thing some places. Sounds unpleasant although most kids would survive that just fine, too.

Most test kits don't require it; it's still the best way to get an accurate result, though (and it's very definitely part of the adult routine that they may have witnessed). Kids may have experienced the throat swab in a medical situation and be very resistant to the swab full stop.

> Yeah, some kids are special needs. It is intellectually dishonest to trot that out as an opposition to a general thing.

But it's intellectually honest to generalise saying "if your kids experience trauma, you caused it"?

You're proud of this argument so I'll leave it at that.
Well, if you're talking about a 4.4 restaurant, they are probably meaningless. There's probably a couple of TRUE negative reviews in there.

As a developer, I find GCP much easier to use than AWS.
I think it's important to recognize that some things in the world are inherently individual-centric and cross all arbitrary political boundaries and the Internet has become one. Even during the world wars postal service and telegraph service was maintained, notably with censorship imposed. We don't fight genocidal wars in large part; the people communicating with each other across battle lines will still be friends, family, or coworkers when the war is resolved.

War has changed significantly with modern communication and there aren't many wartime secrets any more; troop movements and logistics are readily seen from satellites and aircraft. It's arguable that censoring communication between countries at war has no practical war benefit.

As a sanction it is also arguably not effective because as an example North Korea enforces extreme Internet censorship and this hardship on North Korean citizens does not meaningfully weaken the regime. If anything, maintaining open communication to combat propaganda is likely the most beneficial approach. There's a video circulating of a captured Russian soldier in Ukraine face-timing his mother in Russia which would have been blocked by severing Russia from the Internet, to what end? Further isolating and estranging neighbors and family during a time of extreme stress? Finding common shared humanity is always more important than tactical warfare because it usually obviates the need for continued warfare.
Unfortunately the Dall-E demo (openai.com/blog/dall-e) doesn't have useful deep links nor let you choose free-form prompts, but if you modify one of the existing text prompts to "a snail made of faucet", it generates some pretty realistic pipes--the plumbing variety--that I'm pretty sure do not exist.

I wonder if you could improve this GAN by taking a cropped part of each generated image and trying to discriminate against that part of the image as well.

Because the problem seems to be in the details. The GAN is great at the global picture but the details are off. And this problem benefits from the fact that a picture of a section of a city should also be recognized as a picture of a city.
~23.2B km / c (m/s) seconds, so about 43 hours or roughly the time to get through to an arbitrary customer service representative these days.
Reducing CO2 emissions are a key concern for our generation, and hobbling nuclear power because we're afraid of nuclear weapons proliferation is a great way to keep burning fossil fuels and keep CO2 emissions high.
Why not ban nuclear weapons all together?

I know it may look naive at first, but intelligence services are super advanced these days. If some country would try to develop one, we should know immediately.
I'm talking about actually reading the reviews, not looking at the average.
It's not even remotely true that the climate change consensus is based only on 100 climatologists. It has been understood that greenhouse gases could lead to global warming for over 100 years. It's a scientific consensus built on the agreement of many disciplines, from chemists studying how photons interact with methane, agricultural scientists studying how much methane a cow produces, wastewater engineers measuring methane and CO2 output from human waste streams, forestry scientists studying how trees decay over time and analyzing historical tree rings, scientists studying ice levels in the arctic, ecologists studying coral reefs, data scientists and statisticians combining all their data, and on and on and on.

You absolutely are going against the consensus built up over the last 100 years across all of these disciplines. I don't think it's unreasonable to say the number of people that contributed to that consensus is in the millions. You're claiming all of that work is discredited because someone reviewed old data and said "this measurement was odd and their notes are bad; they probably left the thermometer in the sun. Let's throw out this data point". Questionable or not, that's not a counterexample to the well-understood mechanism of the greenhouse effect and atmospheric measurements of CO2, nor to the hundreds of other lines of evidence that have led nearly all science-literate people to accept reality.

It's simple: you are spreading misinformation. Stop it.
very low information post. Cigarette lighters can be up to 180w. Even more with nominal voltage of 13.4v. Starlink is already just around 180watts. But it depends on what you ahve, rev1, rev2, rev3. And then there's proto1 proto2,3,4. Each one draws different watts from 35w-250w. There's no information about which version of the hardware and what it was and what it is suppose to be. I just wish starlink would send an email with details instead of a tweet.
I don't doubt there are real people with these opinions. But there are just way too many new accounts pushing pro-putin opinions for them to be real. When I look at them nearly 50% are brand new. It just is too improbable.
Chess isn't something that's played "on behalf of" countries like the Olympics are, are they, or some gray area in between? Aside from that, I kind of view it as a blunt instrument. If there were a way to target Putin and his regime directly within a reasonable amount of risk, I think they'd have chosen that option. In 2014 I think I remember some people under Putin took it as a badge of honor to be on the sanctions list, it seemed like an inconvenience that could be solved by more corruption to work around it. I think if you make it policy to try to isolate a country, but start allowing exceptions, then it's not going to be ordinary Russians that benefit, but instead only connected people and the whole thing loses its bite. And it's a response to a specific action by a specific regime. I don't see why these bans wouldn't be lifted once sanctions are lifted.

Having said that, I could see it resulting in a small increase of harassment of Russians in other countries.
Agreed. If there's anything I've learned over the years, it's that Democrats and Republicans are equally nasty. The only difference is one side is much more powerful because they are supported by virtually every cultural institution that exists.
Am I really saying that? That's surely not what I meant, but it's interesting to know my words could be understood in such a dramatically different way to my intentions.
I've been, I'm afraid, on both sides of this.

Being on the unreasonable side is usually due to stress, which could be because of the topic at hand or, unfortunately, something completely unrelated and you're taking it out on the topic at hand.

I guess the best advice I have if you're on the receiving end is to weather the storm, and hope for better dialogue (maybe even an apology!) later down the line. It's been my experience that you can shorten the storm by expressing empathy for the unreasonable person's situation.
> So they’ll have to be calculated in that currency

Yes.

> therefore invoices in that currency.

No, the value of the foreign currency in the local currency at the tax date of the invoice is used to calculate the applicable local taxes. It's 100% A-OK for a Canadian company to invoice its Canadian customers in USD (or EUR) and pay taxes in CAD using GAAP rules for currency valuation (e.g. using the daily published interbank rates).

Many accounting or billing packages just do it the simple & dumb way though, so you end up with situations like the OP's.

Some thoughts:

> Because, here's the thing about runtime type checks: they are a debugging device, not so much a safety net.

Yes, knowing why something crashed is a debugging tool and a pretty useful one at that.

But what are you gaining by turning off the runtime type checker? It's not clear. PHP in particular tends to be IO not CPU bound and the people who have CPU performance issues with PHP are so few. What problem is being solved here?

But the author seems to be arguging for static type checking in PHP. You won't get an argument against this from me. I consider dynamic typing a false economy and anathema to a large multi-developer code base.

Oh and Hack is a superior PHP too.
As a person "self-diagnosed" with aphantasia, I feel cheated knowing that other people have a built in cheat-sheet. No wonder why I was struggling with memorizing things like the multiplication table in school.
Eh, punishing individuals like this seems pointless, especially _after_ they've made their personal stance clear.

Tell me the cost of a failed Russian invasion of Poland, or Estonia.

Even if they do get beaten with a broomstick and sent back to Moscow in little bags how much damage would it do?

That's why to spend.

Having a strong defense deters this kind of thing. Having the US divided and Europe impotent has enabled this behavior.
> I am talking about people’s reaction to this. People are painting it as a moral type of good/evil situation.

It can absolutely be a moral good/evil situation. As would such a war on the other side of Russia even if folks reacted differently.

> I find it hypocritical when they started lecturing and posturing about respecting a country’s independence.

They can be right this time, and wrong other times. I do think supporting them when they're right and opposing them when they're wrong is the play.
those a pretty orthogonal issues, you can make a system arbitrarily static or dynamic with or without implicit conversion
Conservatism is relative term. It basically means "keep what we have and carefully evaluate new things".

Conservatism in the US is not what conservatism in France is. Conservatism in Mexico is not what conservatism in Brazil is.

Putin's version of conservatism, as mentioned in the article, is only applicable to Russia and countries with similar culture.

Comparing Trump to Putin is like comparing Nixon to Brezhnev.
