I don't think he was mean-spirited at all, at least through the mid-90s, but he didn't really start to lose the plot until he became a CATO fellow/left Rolling Stone in the early 2000s.

He was terse, and spoke things out loud about the American subconscious that was often uncomfortable (much like Mencken) across the political spectrum. To plagiarize a BBC article: PJ O'Rourke memorably said that the American public viewed the Bosnian war as pitting the "unspellables" against the "unpronounceables".

You can view that as heartless detachment, or you can see it as an unvarnished observation of the total disconnect the American people had with what happened in the Balkans at the time. I suspect PJ left those kinds of statements open-ended for the exact purpose of having to make people think about them...were they capable of mustering the electricity between the ears (knowing that some likely wouldn't).
> Let's cut off some of the western countries first then as well.

... first? Why first? Which western country is actively invading anyone right now? Which western country started a land-war in Europe last week? Why would I cut off someone not doing anything for something that happened 20 years ago when there's a land-war in the Ukraine now?

> You've US who voted to invade Iraq based on a lie (along with UK).

On bad pretenses sure, but to overturn a despot who used chemical weapons against his own people. He wasn't a threat to the US, and the pretenses were wrong - and I didn't support the war at the time. But is it the same thing? Not even close.

> Or are you implying that Russian invasion of Ukraine matter more than all these examples, and if you do so, I wonder why that is? (fyi, it's a rhetorical question, I know why that is)

Yeah because the Russians launched an un-provoked land war in Europe to re-create the Soviet Union - on the premise of "de-Nazifying" a country run by a Jewish PM.

Save your whataboutism for once this is resolved.
This is a good tip.

I had a friend who's home IP address was listed in a different country from where he actually was. This often tripped anti fraud detections if he used the same account on his phone (other IP address) and his home PC at the same time.
I've always kept a windows partition around, just in case things go sideways and for gaming. Proton is great, but not good enough for many games.

Dual booting can have odd effects on Windows. The strangest I have encountered is that windows shuts down when it thinks it is rebooting, and reboots when I tell it to shut down.

Other than that, no issues, though I always make sure when installing linux that I have Windows totally up to date (some mostly for firmware updates).

Manjaro and Pop_OS! are a breeze to install- resizing the windows partition is as easy as dragging a slider. It has been awhile since I have used something else, but I imagine any distro with a modern kernel and gui installer will be easy enough.

In fact, I recently picked up an lg gram (16")- some occasional graphical glitching I am blaming on wayland, but other than that, the hardware actually works better on linux than windows.
Teachers’ unions often have skewed incentives that don’t match the desires of working teachers, because the primary goal of the union is to perpetuate itself, over and above any benefits to teachers themselves.
Cyber Realism in a Time of War

You failed to take note nukes gifted to Iran and Syria to tame USA in middle east. As for those economics sanctions, let just say it is very temporary. Putin can start by doing pollonium to say Gates and Buffet which has huge influence over Dems. For now, he will display total destruction of Ukraine first and let all of you see you can't do anything. In 2008 USA loss a lot of wealth. USA moves on. Real power comes from bullets and might. China has this. What she lacks is oil. And Putin now has her back. What Putin lacks is consumer factories which China has. Already USA has been shut off from China market. Over the past 2 decades I have seen China domestic gdp increasing similar to USA years ago. From what happen to Putin, I can see China definitely will use military to wrestle back Taiwan. The key point is tactically blocking USA from doing anything (e.g. Iran and Syria nukes). Really doubt USA able to do anything given the current leadership is Biden the senile creepy guy. 2nd in line is Kamala also doesn't inspire any leadership confidence at all. During Trump 4 years Putin is very subdue. Biden years, hmmm...
Thanks for posting, Pablo. I'll ask around and see if I can find some opportunities.
Not too long ago I made something very similar but subtly different:

function pipes(callable ...$pipes): Closure
{
return function($value) use ($pipes) {
foreach ($pipes as $pipe) {
$value = call_user_func($pipe, $value);
}

return $value;
};
}

This makes the pipes reusable and makes it so that functions that take only a single argument can be passed as a plain string:

$sanitize = pipes('trim', 'htmlspecialchars');

$title = $sanitize($title);
$body = $sanitize($body);

While also preserving the ability to pass a closure when you need multiple arguments.

>It's collateral damage from the sanctions, but those sanctions ARE helping to put an end to this madness.

We can hope that this is the case, but we certainly don't know. We don't have knowledge of the future or alternative timelines. It is entirely possible that they are making the situation worse, the conflict more intense, or could lead to future Wars or nuclear annihilation.

This is the gamble that we are taking, perhaps a calculated gamble but a gamble nonetheless.

Anyone who says that they know for a fact what will happen is a liar
I agree, cutting off communication networks that are hard to censor is not a smart strategy. During the cold war and WWII the ability to reach people with AM radio broadcasts from foreign news sources was critical to countering at least some propaganda.
This is probably just grass is greener stuff, but I've seen the opposite. Now, that said, this was post acquisition, but my anecdote is that in our case the ICs were shielded from all the office politics shenanigans and were able to just focus on delivering work. Meanwhile, those in management positions were repeatedly pulled into agenda-less meetings, were "voluntold" for tasks unrelated to their jobs, and were generally unhappy. Obviously it all depends on the culture within an organization. But in our case we worked really hard to shield the ICs from the BS, but those in management bore the brunt, and the burn out and resignations reflected that.
I was very surprised to see virtually all hacking groups declare war on russia over this war. So many APT groups are Russian but they do oppose the war. The expected cyber war is all Russia's to deal with.

The actual war isn't going well at all. Their reg troops are driving by wrecked russian equipment destroying their morale.

So they can't deal with reality, send everyone who dissents to prison.
> Very fundamental rule number one: Only build something AFTER you sell it FIRST.

I've come to understand this reluctantly over the past couple months of soul searching. I would not try to start coding again (with creating a business in mind) without having first found 5-10 customers.
Sure, but if they have a track record of publishing material you like, it stands to reason that you might have a better-than-normal chance of the pulling a random book off the shelf by this publisher and liking it, no?

I consider it comparable to record labels. I follow some small/mid-sized record labels on Bandcamp that have signed several bands I like. Their releases tend to stick to a particular sound or genre that I enjoy. If the label drops a new album by an unknown artist, I am more likely to give the artist a try, because the label has a good track record in my mind. It certainly helps if the album is free to listen to before buying, but you get the idea.

How exactly do they "stop" it? Remember that in the USA, private sector sanctions on Israel for the policies of its democratically elected people are deeply controversial and sometimes even illegal (BDS), even though there's an obvious way Israelis could stop those actions.

There's a lot of naivety being bandied about in the last week. Everyone seems to agree Putin isn't really democratically elected (though are vague on the details of how he rigs this, beyond controlling TV channels), at the same time, somehow he's a dictator only because ordinary Russians just can't be bothered getting rid of him. This is a contradiction. Dictators stay in power even if almost everyone in a country wants to get rid of them because they have set things up that way. This is why sanctions never seem to work.
> What is Software Bloat?
>
> Bloated software uses much more resources than necessary to do its job, the most important resources being CPU time, memory, I/O, and disk space. Furthermore, software with lots of features can also be called bloated since it is harder to learn and use, and naturally requires more resources than software with only the desired features would.
The documentary was likely "The Engines that Came in from the Cold." And yeah, those RD-180 engines were a bit shocking to US engineers at first. I suspect there were several reasons that attracted the US to buying them, price being a big one.
Following the setup of NATO, 18 further countries joined it. Most (11) of them joined when Putin was in charge of Russia. Putin is NATO's best recruiting sergeant.

Russia is the only country in the world with a massive formal alliance of major world powers reigned against it. This is because of continued Russian aggression and atrocities going back a long time.
> but it's a mistake to think that authoritarianism is exclusively a right-wing phenomenon

I think we have to draw a distinction between authoritarianism and illiberalism. The American left is highly illiberal, which is one thing. But I don't think they are authoritarian yet because they don't have their own Trump -- authoritarianism revolves around the authoritarian. Joe Biden isn't a Trump and neither is Bernie Sanders for that matter. Even AOC. They have a more pluralistic message even if it is illiberal. The message of the authoritarian is "I alone can fix it". I think Trump unironically said literally those exact words. I mean, he sang all the authoritarian tunes including such hits as "the media is the enemy of the people" and "what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening", quotes that could have come straight from Stalin and 1984. It's not subtle. For this reason, I don't see the left as an authoritarian threat right now. The right has metastasized and has all the elements necessary to go the rest of the way.

> Personally, I think we need to re-establish our "civic religion" with respect to western democratic values and anti-authoritarianism and to emphasize an American identity rather than racial or partisan identities.

Yes, I'm with you there.
So what if it was based on a lie? History is full of such political machinations. The man was a tin-pot despot who used chemical weapons against his own people. Do you disagree with that assessment?

btw, I was and remain anti-Iraq war but your equivocation is clearly wrong.

Nope, not really.

Very simplified, the signal is carried within a "fresnell zone", which s basically a 3d ellipse, that is relatively wide in the middle, and you'd have to cover a lot of that area, to block the signal... definitely more than a bird can do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone#Clearance_calcula...

...unless the bird is standing infront of the transmitter/receiver.. then yes.
I was not referring to the lookup tables in the appendix, rather known lookup tables for relative permittivity and permeability in salt water at 60Hz. If you know those relative parameters you can simply adjust the air-based calculation by multiplying by some function of the ratio of the water parameter to the air parameter (effectively cancelling out).

I'm no expert though, only have some high level undergraduate fields and waves course work.

This explanation makes little syntactic sense.

A bit of googling gives me the explanation of "ferreira" being an old word for "iron mine", which to be honest is coherent with modern portuguese forms like "pedreira", toponymics ("ferreira" is a common place name), and the way names come about (João da Ferreira would own or work in the iron mine, or just come from one of the villages where there was an iron mine).
Those are the channels of individuals and not any kind of “official” channels from the government.

Okay, we have two years of data. PROVE to me that you need to spend $Xm per year on office space for this company to work. Prove to me that you have to pay top of market SV salaries

I think the time is now to reframe what needs to be proven...its a business not a social experiment. Coming in costs more money, prove to me its money worth spending on a case by case basis. If you don't run a handson manufacturing line what evidence supports paying for a building where everyone has a space? We've already ditched offices for cubicles and cubicles for open plan offices just to save space (i.e., cost). At this point the burden of proof isn't on 'work from home is okay' just from a financial perspective.

All three of those people are genuinely classical liberals, or at least aligned with them, and the fact that they're now considered mainstream conservatives is a huge victory, showing how the mainstream right is swinging towards libertarianism and away from the Reagan cosplay.

Splitting a larger function or class into smaller components is not in itself an improvement. Therefore I really dislike quantitative rules like "no more than 200 lines". Simple is better than complex, but splitting an otherwise cohesive module into multiple modules does not make the code simpler, it just increases the accidental complexity.

This is why SRP and this paper are important: They give qualitative guidelines for how to partition systems, not cuter-productive quantitative guidelines.
2% is an extremely generous estimate.

How was the conflict between Ukraine and Russia playing out before 2 weeks ago? How was the conflict in Syria before US/Russia involvement? Would you call them comparable?

If Westerners only care about blonde hair blue eyed people, why did no one care about the Ukrainian war before 2 weeks ago?

Your link has, I think, 4 people who make a claim about why the West cares about the war. Is there a reason you put so much weight on those 4 people, but not on the thousands of other journalists covering the situation who aren't making those claims? Did you know a single one of those people before hearing their coverage of the war?
