This is a terrible move. Virtue signaling at it's worst. Putin literally gives p
0 f'ck about namecheap. It doesn't do squat to him but meanwhile you're hurting regular Russian users for something they have no control over. Do you think they will be pressuring Putin to stop the war bc they can't use namecheap anymore? They will likely to be more mad at the west. Lastly, doing this is just going to increase the segregation of the internet even more which goes completely against the original intention of the internet.
If you don't drink alcohol - don't be afraid to ask for a non-alcoholic pairing!

Worst they can say is "no can do".

The one time I asked, it turned out that our server was ~30 years sober himself, and asked their bartender what they could do.

What they could do was, a variety of alcohol-substitute drinks, mixes of spices that didn't replace wine, but achieved the same culinary role, and custom dry cocktails. Drinks that, given the description, I never would have ordered. Drinks that, by themselves, didn't do what I thought a beverage did. It was amazing.
All the bank sanctions have had carveouts for fossil fuels.
Can anyone comment on the scope and scale of Bloomberg’s c++ codebase? And is this their terminal system?
It's really regrettable that "cyberattack" can mean so many very different things, and reporters rarely clarify. Is it a random ransomware infection? Or is it a targeted attack by a national adversary?

It really could be either, and they have very different implications!
>How do you signal the failure of a function that returns a pointer without having to return a struct with a pointer and an error code (which is inefficient since the return value doesn't fit a single register)?

Rust does this with the Result and Option "enums", which are internally implemented as tagged unions. From my understanding the only overhead with this implementation is the size taken by the tag and then any padding required for alignment.

It also helps that references in Rust are not nullable and working with pointers is fairly rare, so the type system can do a lot of heavy lifting for you rather than putting null checks all over the place. When you have &T you never have to worry about handling null in the first place!
Nostalgia Can Relieve Pain
People have zero choice in where they are born, and after that they have when they reach the age of majority (and sometimes earlier) still zero control over where the rest of their family lives and not everybody is made to be an immigrant.

I hear this a lot and I always wonder which country would you choose to be born in and why? Because there is something wrong with almost every country, and the causes usually lie well in the past. At the same time people do have agency, but for many the price to pay is too high and so they move to apathy or wilful ignoring of what is happening around them. I've seen this first hand. The peer pressure to keep your head down and to keep your mouth shut lest you get the people near to you in trouble can be enormous and that's the first barrier you need to contend with before you get to deal with the billyclubs and the nightsticks, eventually usually jail and being beaten up, raped or even killed.

So have some respect, understand that this is not a simple black-and-white matter and understand that on the far side of the line you do have allies and that their life right now is super hard. Not as hard as the lives in the country that is being invaded so that's where the weight should come down. But hard nonetheless.
In Firefox dev tools you can replay and modify requests which isn’t something I’ve found in chromium browsers.
Yes, I do live a privileged life. I think I get it. And I do not want to spark some kind of fight here. I am interested in your views and would be interested in specific cases / archetypes of concern.

But I do not want to be on the side of "we need a better way to hide". Staying hidden should not be the solution to death threats. Jail is the solution.

I hate that we (western ? US/UK?) society has abandoned hope of properly funding a justice system, let alone a mental health system.

In our society I do not want the response to death threats to be "hide better". It must be "police better". And that is expensive and difficult and long.

In other societies, well, We are not going to bring the worlds dictators down with clever messaging protocols. That is going to be old fashioned politics (and by recent events war too).

I have been very unsure about posting this - it's a very big wide topic that raises a lot of emotions. And that's because it is important - we have much to fix about our world.
Thank you for doing this. My country borders Ukraine, and it's very encouraging news that someone in a position like yours is taking steps like that.
True however isolation does help limit the damage they can cause through influence and soft power
As of today (Feb 28th, 2022) GitHub allows you to add up to twenty (20) unverified email addresses to your account. When you reach that limit, you will be presented with the following error message “Please verify one or more of your unverified emails before adding another.”
And would you consider that a good thing or a bad thing?
Once upon a time you would get those seats for being a nice person, now they go to the highest bidder...
Why do you support this dump decision as it doesn’t help fighting the regime?

I just learnt in hard way that I am blamed for being Russian citizen(by ethnicity I’m not Russian), even if I live, work, pay all taxes in the UK?

How it’s different from nazis blaming Jewish for being Jewish?
I think Bros is a fine example -- the exception, IMO -- of when the system breaks down. I wouldn't enjoy that experience either. Maybe there are some people who would, I don't know; I'm not going to begrudge them their enjoyment of that kind of experience if that's really their thing. But I would have expected that this sort of experience would be way too niche (in a "the vast majority of people won't like this" way) to warrant Michelin's attention.

By and large, most Michelin-starred restaurants are not like Bros. You get enough food so you don't walk out feeling hungry. The food tastes good, and is cooked beautifully, using high-quality ingredients. And sometimes, yes, depending on the restaurant, they will also do something novel with that food and with flavors.
Because they don't want to be involved in operations in Russia, especially while having Ukranian employees. As the GGP points out, any transaction in Russia implicitly helps the government through taxes.

They have put their morality and employees' above whatever business they got out of being in Russia.
And that may not be all that's needed. I recently went through the TSA Precheck line (my ticket had the little Pre heck logo on it) but the check-in dude did not give me the laminated poster board that said "Precheck" on it. I don't fly often enough to have noticed, so when I got to the security apparatus 15 feet further I was treated as non-Precheck. It did not matter that I could show my ticket had the appropriate logo on it. No card, no Precheck. One more slap in the face from the Security Theater.
That's precisely Many Worlds! The process you describe is a pretty close match for what's called decoherence. Perhaps you'll have more luck with those search terms, there are quite a few really good resources out there. Just be careful to steer clear of the partisans. However much I disagree with them, the shut-up-and-calculate people give the best overall picture, even when describing a particular interpretation.
An implementation of fork() that doesn't do CoW would have borderline unusable perf in many real-world scenarios.
If the problem is land area, then apartments in multi-story buildings should be significantly chaper than single homes. But they are not.
Plan9 is a lot older than Kubernetes and has the same namespacing of all processes. So it's not impossible to have a "*nix like" OS that still has mainframe-like separation of concerns to ease deployment.
> No, you have to own everything that you could call. For one example of many, are you in and out of a library that longjump's? That's really fun.

That is also true of fork().

You're supposed to only use async-signal-safe functions on the child-side of fork().

It is surprisingly easy to do dumb things with fork().

> You know that some people write proprietary code, even for unixen, right?

I was hoping it was in open source code.
Your examples are things that can mostly be broken down or modeled logically though. Chess are Go are hard so I guess it seems like AI for them means there some sort of fundamental break through.

But consider how a human or even a dog catches a ball. You can study physics and learn that a ball will follow a parabola when thrown and the the shape of parabola is determined by the velocity as it leaves the throwers hand. But none of that matters. You try and catch a ball. Miss a bunch of times. Practice. And then you get better at it. And then you can catch all manner of things coming at you at various velocities. You can unconsciously predict a ball's path accurately enough to catch it without even knowing any physics. Some people can even rely on their instincts.

This line of thought is moving goal posts, but I think even for people that have some understanding of what AI is, the current state of the art doesn't pass our intuition about all the things a human does to drive a car. And the sorts of mistakes that current self driving makes don't really seem better than a human.
everyone that is affected by this war is inconvenienced ( mild way to say F'd up) but, if a company that is totally in a country being attacked by an aggressor. that said company has every right to respond in any way to to try and live to defeat said agreesor. sorry that you may feel like you are being singled out. But. that is life.
Hopefully there is enough russian blowback against their leadership that makes a change for russians.
As n american that grew up during the heights of the cold war and all the doom and gloom both our countries talked about.
The day the the Berlin wall fell and the Russian people themselves felt the relief of obtaining freedoms of hope and prosperity, let me tell you all, we americans didnt feel like we won the cold war. we felt relieved that the war was over and life would be great for everyone. now sad that hasnt happened
Good on you, Namecheap. You’ve earned my continued business and genuine respect with this action.
I agree that this would be bad, but it's not what I read, not what he said.
This is a tone-deaf comment. All of us who otherwise agree with your position and support it: you are alienating us.

I have friends and acquaintances who fled, or stayed and had their eardrums blown out by flash-bangs at protests.

My friends' student was raped in prison for attempting to "take control against her own corrupt and bloodthirsty government", as you put it.

Where were you in 2020? What domains did Namecheap drop then at a week's notice in a flurry of support?

Now you are preaching to the choir (i.e. the very "IT-shniki" whose support for your position was never even in doubt), and calling them too apathetic or too meek or too unworthy.

I get it: you see suffering, in your own ranks, you have power, and you want to use that power to do good.

But please listen when we explain to you that you're revelling in scoring on your own net. This action hurts your own team and not the opposing one.
More importantly if the main part they’re working on is the “what to do with situation X” code then adding additional sensors for more accurate data later is relatively easy.
Whatever is in the branch you are looking at? Seems fairly straightforward.
How does thst work? You can run a Jupyter server from termux, then use a browser for editing?

Also, in what contexts do you use it?
I don't think the discussion is about sealed records. I think the main point here is that the state needs to adequately seal the record.

As a side note, I don't think Bar complaints should be private. People running the system should be transparent. The only reason transparency should be limited is with the name of the witness. Otherwise, how can we be sure the system is functioning correctly?
I can only comment for myself, but as a long time NC customer, this action and the behavior of the CEO in this thread has seriously damaged my ability to trust in the brand. The only redeeming bit of trust remaining is that they are too self-interested to discard US consumers this way since the US market is too lucrative, despite any deeply untoward behaviors the US government has done in the past / continues to do.
People who you have recently formally evaluated the competency of are priced upwards. That sort of makes sense to me.
A turd stinks. Draw your own conclusions.
This makes me very uncomfortable, as a Russian. I have been living in Europe for the last > 16 years non stop (=refugee), but I still have (the only) Russian citizenship.

I completely understand the utter pointless of current war, but when will we start to see random Russians being threatened just for the sake being/speaking Russian on the street? You can't say both "Don't generalize!! All `X` are not like this!" and then go "Oh yeah all Russian bad. No cookie for your Russian a$$".

I don't see it happening right now, but that thought have crossed my mind already, and I am sure if that war continues, I won't be alone having it
We'd love to see thoughtful plans for how to spend $1-100B to make humanity's future as good as possible. We might learn a great deal from these plans, even when we don't put them into action—and in some cases, we might do that too!

... We'd be excited and grateful to see rigorous criticisms of our priorities and concerns.

Ok, how do we contact you about this? None of the forms here seem appropriate

>Again, how can you so sure google/mozilla/apple are doing a good job when they are not transparent or accountable to public?

I can be sure they're doing a good job, because I can see them doing a good job, and have no reason to believe they're suppressing any bad news. Are you making a theoretical argument here? In other words, are you simply claiming that the current state of affairs is bad because google/mozilla/apple can go rogue and do bad things?

As for transparency, AFAIK both google and mozilla have their certificate policy discussions available to the public, eg. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/eUAKw...

>We have no idea so we happily live in illusion that they aren't pushing anything nefarious

This sounds like argument from ignorance. ie. "we have no idea whether they're not pushing anything nefarious, therefore we should assume they're pushing something nefarious". If you think they're acting nefariously, by all means mention it here. Don't go beating around the bushes with vague accusations that they might be doing something bad, and use that to justify the government stepping in.
'Rumors that Signal has been hacked are false'
Email is no joke
The sanctions, when applied bluntly without a particular goal will have the effect of pushing Russia further from the Western world and into a closer relationship with China. If anything they destabilize the world further.
If you want to talk about people being triggered then I may as well talk about virtue signalling but it won't lead to an interesting discussion.

People in privileged positions often talk about making small sacrifices to fulfil some grand end. It always impacts the least privileged the most, whether that be through poverty or something like old age. We've just had 2 years of it with the pandemic, and now we're seeing it with war, and you've extended it to the boycott of a company providing a very necessary resource.

> it would only impact 10% of demand

What would it do to prices? My advice to you is to try imagining what it's like to run out of money before the end of the month and have to freeze your way to the next, then as an elderly person. The path to hell is paved with good intentions.
I was surprised by this, until I realized that one of Namecheap's offices is in downtown Kharkiv. Today, the Russian military bombed Kharkiv with cluster munitions [1]. Civilians were killed, possibly including children [2].

Given the severity of the situation, I'm surprised that Namecheap has not opted for more drastic measures- for example, redirecting Russian web traffic. Simply transferring Russian businesses to other providers might be among the less-drastic options they considered.

Second this, hoping to make it so this is the case for me (set for life after 10 years) so looking to avoid any pitfalls you can share.
I wonder why the use 'radio' at all, since they need a cable anyway. Too cheap to have tossed a fiber along it?
I will say this, sometimes there needs to be a "bad guy" who says what we're all thinking, even if it comes across as mean. Otherwise, how would any of us know what behaviors of ours that other people find irritating, so we can adjust accordingly (since most people don't purposely want to irritate others, usually, and within reason)?
It can provide an incredible amount of green base load energy. what else can?
afork() could do some things differently. The point of afork() is to be able to spawn child processes (that will exec-or-_exit) faster.
If you want to pay four times the price for them yes. Or just wait for Q4 when they'll probably ramp up production to meet demand.
Just for redundancy, we should include the Hebrew calendar year (5782), the Mayan Long Count date (13.0.9.5.16—sorry, I don't have my keybindings set up to type Maya numerals), and the Hindu calendar (Kali Yuga year 5123). You can't be too careful!
The distinction I'm making here is between opt-in and opt-out namespacing.

Plan9's vfs namespacing is closer to clone(2) than kubernetes.
I'm still struggling to understand the point of vfork(). The whole point of fork is to offload work to a different part of your program so the original part can continue to do work. The entire idea fails if it halts the original program for the duration of the child's life. How is this better than just doing a regular function call?
> Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia

> Now this problem is gone - Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state of part of the Russian world.

> This is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia's return of its historical space and its place in the world

The whole pamphlet makes me want to vomit. But still ~nice~ (no, totally wrong connotation)... revealing(?) to get some more insight into the... whatever one should call that kind of thinking.
Experts Debunk Staged Pre-War ‘Provocation’ in the Donbas
What does "oldest" OS even mean? I haven't used TSOS/BS2000 but its Wikipedia article suggests that while the OS lineage dates back to 1968 that anyone using it currently is using some currently maintained developed version of it.

In my mind supporting an old OS means e.g. that someone is still running old terminals that still run actual Windows 95 (emulator or not), DOS etc.

It wouldn't be meaningful to say "this runs on an OS from the mid-80s!". Only to find that it's all C# code targeting last year's release of Microsoft Windows (which has its eventual origins in the mid-80s).
I think they’re referring to the “rolling stop” code Tesla added - which is technically an illegal maneuver but not one resulting in death as far as I know.

Autodrive is going to force the actual law and the theoretical law to come into sync, otherwise automatic driving cars will cause other issues by sticking to the letter of the law when normal drivers do not.
That wasn't about tone and you are not contributing.
Chechnya it's actually part of russia
Honest question.

Why the assumption that Taiwan would choose death rather than give up their fabs to the Chinese?

I have seen this implicit assumption here a lot, but I just don’t get it.

Why would they smash hundreds of billions of dollars of investment for freedom from the Chinese yoke, if they have to choose between the fabs or lots of people dying?
On the contrary, their action plays right into Russian government propaganda.
Hah same here. I always imagined that it would be crazy if people always happened to survive in the universes they inhabited.
Much of traditional high-end Chinese dining revolves around status, meaning you can easily pay megabucks for a luxury ingredient like shark's fin or abalone, but the taste and presentation of the $100 dish containing these will otherwise be identical to the $10 one without them.
Best of luck - anything that's an alternative to Amazon, Google, Netflix/Disney/Hulu, Spotify, etc. and their many subsidiaries and affiliations is a plus in my eyes!
> But you have no assurance that any other libraries are doing the right things with their locks.

I mean, if they're broken, fix them or get upstream to fix them.
The image of John Lakos is 9MB.
I agree IPs are PII, and that they can lead to unmasking. I also agree the person I replied to was wildly overstating things.

But for the current context, where we are talking about whether or not user account registration is helpful in preventing abuse, I think the kinds of low-probability, long-timeline consequences you describe are not really going to deter most would-be vandals. Especially since Wikipedia is going to know the vandal's IP address whether or not it gets show publicly. So I think Wikipedia is still a good example of how "no user accounts" is workable at scale.
It's worth giving this a read [0].

>That's the exact sentiment (along with the "please don't play the pity card" comment higher up) that's leading average Westerners to assault ethnic-Russian or Russian-speaking people living in the West

That may be true. I haven't heard about such stuff (and a cursory web search didn't show any reports of violence against Russians in Western countries), but I did see protests by Ukrainians in New York City that were joined by Russians, with both groups calling for Russia to stop this violence and murder.

Perhaps I'm too wrapped in my own filter bubble that I don't see it?

Can you point to specific incidents where civillan Russian nationals and/or those of Russian descent have been attacked in "Western countries"?

That would be really helpful. Thanks!
I’m pretty sure this is an explanation of ECDSA. However, I do agree with you on the last part, I should’ve been a little clearer about the identification scheme.

as another poster mentioned, microg is the way to go on lineage. add in the aurora play store client (package available in fdroid), and you're able to install/run the majority of apps found on the play store

the biggest issue with this setup is that you need to manually install a location provider (like mozilla location service) for microg from f-droid, and importantly, adjust app permissions to allow the location provider to always run in the background. if you don't have the location provider installed and allowed to run in the background, a lot of apps like lyft, lime, uber, gig, etc will misbehave
