I can relate, although I have fewer years of experience. I've switched from one sub software industry to another. My past experience is not valued or at least doesn't count as much. Which I understand. Small and medium companies want a person who knows their stack and who needs only a few weeks to adjust to the company but not someone who needs a full month or so of study to learn their stack. There isn't a lot of demand for generalists in my experience, which again is understandable.

I guess my point is that one has to think carefully about their career path and what they want to do beyond "Write code and build stuff".

Comparing the Cuban missile crisis to now is mindblowing...why do people think it makes sense as a defense of Russia?

The USSR put missiles in Cuba, and got the US to agree not to invade and to withdraw missiles from eastern Europe.

We need to know about the parallel universe where the "NATO aggression" results in Russia agreeing not to invade Ukraine.

This post does a really great job explaining the risk we all take when downloading code that we haven't audited from the internet. I've never taken the time to audit the code I'm including in my projects. Instead, I blindly trust that someone else has. I love how socket has identified common security red flags and is automatically warning users about what they find. Great to see!
> Because other Indians will identify your caste based on your last name, food habits, dialect, your family business (etc). They don't need to ask you.

False. This is a broad generalization. Some large states in India use paternal names as last names.

Tibet has been already managed by cn gov for more than 80 yrs. Many roads and railways are under construction. I can't see what problem in Tibet.
Did you see my comment about "yes I could rearch my code but..." The fact that I'm writing in some very specific way to please a linter IS the problem... regardless of whether we tell someone beforehand.

If I know I have a dependency I want to ignore, to achieve a certain result. Then I have a way to achieve a particular data flow. One can _say_, that's wrong but it's a deterministic way to achieve that result. Calling it "wrong" delves into the weirdness of hooks. Love them or hate them, they create patterns which must be learned and mastered. And even then... they can still be confusing. Except for on the internet obviously, here we find people who never have problems with them :)

I was expecting more than "Telegram bad, use Signal".

In times of war, internet service is likely to be unreliable. Are there any messengers that support a mesh-based store-and-forward model, that do not require an internet connection?

I think it's also worth thinking outside of the digital box. Radio - CB/ham/amateur radio in particular - requires no infrastructure and is far more expensive to block than the internet.
This is one of those dark realizations I've had as I'm approaching middle age. Yes there is the aspect of me getting older, fatter, balder etc, but mostly that there is going to be an increasing likelihood that people I care about will start dying.

>>...it is how Russia calls Ukraine

But the russian language doesn't have definite articles, right?
So is that how Russia calls Ukraine in international announcements and such? Do they even translate their messages to English themselves? I thought it was all in Russian and we translated

If it's not that, what would be the equivalent of the definite article in russian? Maybe it's some other grammatical element that implies the same thing or something similar?

This is actually kind of interesting from a linguistic perspective. I never knew definite article could such meanings in english
In biology, neuroscience, and psychology replication failure is often the result of an impedance mismatch between reductive models and real systems complexity.

Note that convincing them that they're wrong is less important and much harder to do than convincing them that new things they may see in state media may be wrong. It's about instilling doubt, not about arguing with your parents about politics. The propaganda is most likely going to go into scary territories now, so any doubt will be helpful.

I didn't downvote you but your tone is overly dramatic for some simple heuristics. Specifically you're just repeating two things over and over. Here's some simple answers:

1) you're right that ASCII was English only, but now utf-8 is the defacto standard, backwards compatible with ASCII, and good for every language. Use that, no BOM needed and the BOM is discouraged by the standard anyway.

2) dates can be YYYY-MM-DD as per the ISO standard. Also they're sortable as a string too as a nice side effect.

All good?
As someone born and raised in India, things like this were a bit "distant" from me when I was in school (it came up but I was never a victim).

But the more I got to know Indians who were more privileged than I have been, the pattern started to clearly emerge. I distinctly remember thinking - "people who are better educated than I am tend to be richer or from an upper caste background, usually both".

I try to not let it get to me - I'm in a more "esoteric" position as I'm neither one of the privileged castes nor the downtrodden. My last name is still a dead giveaway to people who know. And I wonder how many opportunities I've missed because I've never been part of these subgroups (any subgroups really). I'm lucky enough that I have friends and a partner who recognise their historical privilege very well.

It's why diversity is important. I love working with my Dutch, Indian, German, Turkish, Chinese, American, Brazilian etc... colleagues. When I'm in a diverse group, those feelings tend to fade away - because I know there isn't a large group that I might need to be closely aligned with.

Of course, living in another country (not USA), the higher up I look at management, the less diversity I see. Same problem in a different form, I suppose. :)

All of the above is just an individual experience. But data seems to confirm it.

Just pointing this out since the violent war criminal running Ukraine is giving out guns to men women and children now (and even prisoners), you don't qualify as a civilian if you shoot back. The only reason Ukraine hasn't already been flattened by Russian bombers and artillery is because of the incredible restraint they are practicing. This isn't some line I heard from Russia today or sputnik or whatever: you can look at their actual war zone and those cities are still standing. Compare that with the Donbas which was turned into a scrap yard within days by Ukrainian shelling 8 years ago.

That wasn't the point. The piint was that he isn't after a neutral Ukraine, but to incorporate it. This, in turn, was in support of the earlier point that annexing Ukraine would not decrease, but increase the legth of Russia's borders with NATO countries: Ukraine borders on Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania.

That's your opinion, most people probably disagree.

A common way to define racism is: negative prejudice + power

(The same can be done for sexism, though obviously on different characteristics)

From that point of view, making sure that a marginalized candidate is also interviewed by at least one member of the same marginalized community, if possible, is neither racist nor sexist.

(Because you're not negatively discriminating, and in fact to define the rule you don't even need to single out which marginalized community they are part of)
Affirmative action in India is multi-fold. One, there is punishment for insult/discrimination based on caste (in public view, as per law). The law is very powerful, feared and sometimes misused. Two, there is a quota system in education and jobs, for some castes in the society. Three, once in a job that comes under affirmative action category, there is further affirmative action to move the person up through the ranks.

Now, the resentments on this affirmative action (Ambedkar, who is highlighted in the passage, originally wrote that the AA will be for a period of 5 years, but has since been used as a vote bank tool) are plenty and some, IMV, are justified.

One is that the current and previous generations, have seen very limited caste discriminations. Sure, events happen in a country as big and varied as India, but generally, caste based discriminations have been subdued, and mostly pushed back to silent and invisible forms (social interactions, marriages, friendships, etc). The current and previous generation kids, have hardly seen any caste based discrimination due to various reasons. It also helps that a section of political leaders are from the backward and other castes.

What this brings about is the feeling of unfair punishment. A kid who is in high school now, who has friends from all walks of life, of many castes and religions (In my schooling, with high school ending in 2003, I never once bothered about caste and religion, as it was never a point of discussion) will write an exam for bagging a seat in a good college or university. Then he will discover, that the same friend who has been with him for all these years, has a similar lifestyle as him, goes everywhere he goes, does everything he does, is eligible for a seat with a lower cut-off score, buoyed by additional mandatory allotment of seats.

From the perspective of the kid, he works hard and sincerely, only to be snubbed because his forefathers have insulted some castes in their days.

What would you tell him?

Two, the benefits of AA have not percolated throughout the society. Those who have benefitted from the initial steps, have risen to wealth and power, and continue to get the benefits, while those who really need help, often do not get it.

Also, after 200 years of British occupation, India was left penniless. Couple that with decades of socialist policies, wealth generation was low and slow. This results in a huge section of population being poor. And this includes all castes and creeds.

I often see negative and insulting remarks on Brahmins (considered the "highest" caste), and often they are blamed for all evils of caste discrimination (whereas, discrimination has been in the society from all sections and even within castes). However, presently, a majority of brahmins are poor or middle class.

In this scenario, the only escape those who do not belong to the AA castes, is to move abroad in search of better opportunities.

All this caste based drama in SV and elsewhere is the result of that feeling of unfair punishment.
The US agreed not to invade again and also remove missiles in Europe in return for the missiles being removed from Cuba.

That's conspicuously not what happened with Ukraine. It could not be more not what happened with Ukraine.

Cuba makes no sense as an argument about current events, and if it did, one could have a conversation without random whatabouts.
Having worked at a car dealership this is just the left hook if you will. You got them to go down on the price and when it comes time for them to get you to sign on the dotted line they add "fees" to add back what you took off. Many of the sales people I knew just shrugged it off, you can't buy the car for almost the cost and not expect us to get money back somewhere.

So, in reality the car dealership (most dealerships sell various makes if they are successful) makes money on financing/fees and not the actual car itself. However, car sales people make money on the price the vehicle sells for (the price without financing/fees). The parties who care about the price of the "car" is the buyer and sales person but the parties that care about the total cost are the dealership and the buyer.

I strongly disagree with these punishment options. On one hand jail is overkill for the majority of cases. We as a country jail too many people as it is, and correctly assigning prison sentences to the appropriate person when crimes are committed by a corporation is something our justice system does poorly. On the other hand a $750 fine is completely inadequate to prevent abuses. The huge gap between fining management a few days (or hours) of pay, or jailing them for months is bizarre, yet those are the only options given to the judge.
That is completely false.

QM started as theory to explain otherwise unexplainable phenomenon, but explicitly provided things that could be falsified (aka tested), was immediately tested, and did indeed usefully describe otherwise unexplainable phenomenon before they were ever put forth seriously in any consistent way.

Algebra, group theory, etc. as pure math have proofs, but are definitely not (and never held out as) a physics theory.

Conflating the two is not appropriate. And saying string theory is a useful physics model while there is no way to test if anything unique it posits are true or not, may be useful mathematically - but means it’s not a physics model. Period.

That people spend so much time wedging everything into it to try to make it a useful model when it is unfalsifiable (and no one seems to have any idea how it would even BE falsifiable) is exactly the type of crisis the article is discussing.

Lots of careers built in a direction they can’t be proven wrong.
France is officially the French Republic, Mexico the United Mexican States, in those cases grammatically “the” is appropriate there.

Alone “Mexico”, “France”, or “America” don’t get a “the” because grammatically it isn’t appropriate.

Ukraine can because the word in local language has a common meaning, something like “borderlands” so it does work, but they ask nicely that you don’t.
People here frequently seem to interpret the law like it's a videogame that always executes in a reliable way and can therefore be gamed through obvious loopholes, rather than being a series of guidelines that give the people enforcing them a useful/terrifying latitude in both interpretation and enforcement.
I am surrounded by variously defined types of narcissists who consistently make life hell. Nearly every job I've ever had spanning multiple careers there were always at least an unavoidable few obliviously or intentionally making life miserable for everyone around them. But it get's worse, every one of my maternal cousins, aunts and uncles have varying degrees of the various clinical types, also my father is type iii and brother type ii, my sister married a sociopath, my neighbor is a raging type ii, and maybe 20% of my friends from high school and college are also living with narcissism (idk how to put it, wish the disorder had a name that wasn't also pugilistic). Personally speaking, I've had quite enough of narcissistic abuse to last 10 lifetimes, and I sure wish some space program-sized initiative would finally solve it and give us reasonable folk effective tools to deal with all the narcissists that seem to have now infiltrated every corner of my world.

FEAST

BRING

CHUMP

DOWLY

The first 1-3 words may "strike" early. But victory is inevitable it seems with those. They seem pretty durable against sneaky double-letter words too.

HANDY SWIFT GLOVE CRUMP seem to lack the concentration of "quick strike" letter combos onthe first two words (FEAST and BRING for me). Then CHUMP and DOWLY are "cleanup" guesses if not enough comes out of FEAST / BRING.

But I don't have math behind it so... what do I really know.
