There's nobody to do it! We invade with NATO, absolving the need to ask US Congress for authorization and implicating all of the allies who could ever consider a coordinated sanction as they are all now culpable!

I would be content with that if our leaders just said it like that. Join the gang by implicating yourself. I too kind of bore over the juvenile moral arguments that have too many contradictions to count. It's not supposed to sound edgy, I could totally roll with "at least they're honest".
The roof/walls of some buildings in Ukraine have been getting marked with what looks like targeting/geobinding signs - haircross of 3-6ft. I wonder how it correlates with those new Google places.
this is neat, 'first review time' is definitely one of those softer metrics that can make a meaningful difference
People willing to take initiative and sieze control of state property by whatever means they could, prospered during the chaos of the USSR's breakup. They were often cliques within the Soviet power system, KGB, Communist party officials, both in a position to see where things were going and with institutional access.
> Do most frontend devs in 2022 even know CSS?

My experience in the last few years has been "no", in general. It is a rare, elite few who bother to learn it. Most devs don't want to put in the effort, and so think it's hard, or think there is a better, easier solution out there.

As a freelancer, I've seen many teams prefer to reach for React components that do layout, or for other libraries like MaterialUI which take just as much effort to learn as CSS, but then they are unequipped to troubleshoot the inevitable unexpected consequences.

CSS is a pretty amazing system for laying things out responsively. I've not seen anything better.
I hate that an inspirational story like this has to start with an inb4 "Im white. Im straight. Im privileged". Its 2022 and I thought we'd be colorblind by now, but its never been a bigger issue. At least for some very loud people.
With a change of the regime in Kremlin, it's quite imaginable.

I suppose that a lot of the Russian elites, locked out of their wealth and prospects, would be more than happy to see and even effect a serious change of the leadership. I hope they have a fair chance.

A huge lot of non-elites would support that, too.
Interesting - why is Fortunate Son a bad choice for the theme of refusing the draft?

It speaks of class stratification, and of rich folk asking poor folk to fight in their wars.

> $1000 is not "largely free".

It is absolutely insignificant compared to the cost of developing software.

It’s a tool needed to do a job. Go talk to a carpenter, a builder or a mechanic and ask them how much they spent on tools. Then compare their hourly rates to that of a software engineer.
The reason for the virtual DOM: in react, the entire world is a function that gets rerun on every render. The whole point is to be able to define some state and then render the whole world in accordance with that new state. When react was conceived, Dom updates were very slow and could bottleneck the application.

Knowing that your entire UI is running inside a function that gets re-executed with every render, gives a tremendous amount of safety and predictability to your application and makes testing a breeze. But you can't actually rerender the whole world every time because performance, so instead React relies on a JavaScript object to hold a representation of the UI, and then surgically updates only the pieces that need updating. This was React's big thing.

The reason people want to move away from virtual dom is because browsers have gotten faster and now the Dom updates aren't the biggest source of overhead.
Imagine being a player who wants to collect new skins or looks in a modern game. In almost any modern game that offers microtransactions. Even indie games are starting to sell cosmetics, so they aren't left out of the feast, err, leaving money on the table.

Your choice is usually limited to: 1) spend money, 2) be unable to get all cosmetics, and occasionally 3) spend hundreds to thousands of hours to obtain the skins.

The worst part is that the average player seems to be fine with this, since it's not selling power - as if power's the only thing that matters in a game.
They cannot hold this territory. They will have to.
War promoters need to decide whether Putin is crazy or super-rational. He probably isn't both of those things.
Sid is a few years too late with the warning.

Gameplay and original game design have taken a backseat to increasingly hostile monetization schemes, lazy/safe/rehashed game loops and marketing/shareholder driven development for at least a decade now. The amount of AAA titles built on hype and released broken at launch, with promises of future patches, is too long to list. With some notable exceptions, most of the innovation and interesting game design is done by indie developers and smaller studios.

This video sums it up nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q38fjcyP1IQ
To an extent, this has already happened.

You know what? I was on the fence but the snark of "BS no shoes, no shirt, no service. Ever heard about that?" put me over the line. I'm done with Namecheap now.
Who won and lost is not clear. West always writes Russian's off too early. They did subjugate Chechnya. In fact they were so effective that now their shock troops in Ukraine are Chechens.

On other hand every nation is born in blood and this is Ukraine's real birth. Likely the country will be smaller, lots of people will die, but this is the time it becomes a real nation(well it started in 2014). It is time to prepare for insurgency in the west Ukraine. It took Stalin 6 years to finish off UPA. But they were surrounded and without any help, plus they faced NKVD. Ukranian insurgency in the west with arms flowing through Carpathy will make Russian regret they were ever born. There will be nothing pretty about it.. but there will be no victory for the tsar this time.
Some were known before, but authorities have changed their stance based on political factors without new underlying data.
Yeah, the presence of a season pass means an automatic pass from me. I don’t need any heavily monetized skinner boxes in my life, thanks.

The US couldn't manage to wipe out the Taliban in Afghanistan, nor prop up its replacement for more than a couple of weeks after two decades of preparation and $2.3 trillion in investment. Ukraine's insurgency would be supplied by allies with deep pockets and modern tech; Russia's occupation would be funded by a sanctioned Russia and the same army that's already struggling to meet their objectives in the early stages.

Russia leaves Ukraine in defeat in at some point in the future. The question is largely how many innocent dead are left in the wake.
The article mentions there were hundreds of people who joined a Zoom call to give testimonies. In your view, is the author exaggerating?
Well, I'm answering why he would recommend it. But if you couldn't evaluate the technical stuff yourself, you'd do well to trust Assange's (and also Snowden's) recommendation on such things above almost anyone else's.
I can't imagine the crazy headache for management, like are you going to ask your Indian teamates their cast when you suspect there is foul play in the team?
Ironically, I'd rather play a game where the DLC didn't add much to gameplay. If I purchase a game, I want to be able to enjoy the full experience of that game without being forced to purchase DLC. If they release DLC that is little more than different skins or supplemental music, I don't feel I've lost out on anything by not purchasing it. On the contrary, if they release a DLC that substantively changes the game and, even worse, makes it incompatible with the original version for saved games or multiplayer, then I'm more or less obligated to purchase it if I want to keep enjoying the game to its full potential.
Is Sid actually involved in the Civ games anymore? As far as I know he hasn't been directly involved in that franchise for years.
The solution you propose is arguably just as bad and I suspect it might be illegal in the US. If I am a qualified manager or tech lead, and there is an opportunity to lead a new project, I would be furious to learn that I was passed over for the opportunity because someone believed I was ethnically incompatible with one of the people on the team.
The Kobo Sage is slightly cheaper (in the US) for a comparable product. Still over $200, but not a lot if you get a Sage on sale and buy via Rakuten for an additional rebate.

I've had a Kindle Oasis (the non-ad-supported version) for a couple years. A couple months ago I got a Kobo Sage.

Same in both Oasis and Sage:
- Screen quality
- Battery life (in my experience; this doesn't match the actual specs of the products though)
- "Waterproof"

Differences:
Favoring Kobo Sage:
- Screen is a bit bigger without a significant penalty in size and weight
- Compatible with a pen and has built-in drawing/OCR/note-taking capabilities
- Really easy to borrow eBooks from library via OverDrive
- Easier to side-load and sync free eBooks
- Slightly cheaper (US)

Favoring Kindle Oasis:
- Slightly lighter weight and more compact
- More responsive buttons (touch screen is same responsiveness)
- Amazon's book purchasing and browsing features are a bit easier to use
- Amazon selection is better
- "Family" sharing
- Built-in free cellular wireless data for Amazon downloads and browsing

I'm happy owning both devices. If I had to choose one or the other, then:

eReader only: I'd choose Kobo only because library borrowing is so much easier. If my local library didn't have OverDrive, then I would choose the Kindle + Amazon Unlimited in a heartbeat.

eInk tablet: Kobo, no question. The Kindle is an eReader. Amazon hasn't made any effort to make it anything more. It simply doesn't make sense to me to compare any eInk Kindle to the Kobo, MatePad, ReMarkable, Boox, etc.

My partner likes eInk tablets for note taking and diagramming, not for e-reading. He has both a ReMarkable 2 and a Boox. The ReMarkable is fine, but He much prefers the Boox because it's easier to use without a subscription. But, now that my partner has used my Kobo Sage, he is unsure whether he'd buy a Boox over a Sage. He says it's a very close call and it would probably come down to price.
There are more important things in my life than cutting edge personal electronic devices.
Russia is literally surrounded by NATO in Kaliningrad and I’ve only seen it mentioned once somewhere on Twitter, and not by Russians. This is Russian propaganda to make westerners feel guilty and blame their politicians.
> It doesn't stop the compiler from generating an executable or linking to libraries.

The C standard claims multiple definitions result in undefined behavior. Dynamic libraries are filled to the brim with copies of symbols because it is impossible to tell in which library a symbol should be stored. Linking against a dynamic standard library cannot end well.
>given hope to other regions and countries that may come under threat in the future.

To be determined. I surmise Ukraine will go the way of HK/Belarus and demonstrate that shitpost supremacy is not a counter to disproportionate military force. That getting drunk on propaganda manufactured and reinforced by liberal western media is ultimately going to trigger harsher reprisals and bloodier escalations. The alternative to Putin's quick "special operations" / decapitation strike is UKR cities getting shelled to rubble that we witness now. PRC will learn not to half measure in the name of cross strait "brotherhood", strategy can change but enduring geopolitical interests do not. We're now setup for an even bloodier resumption of Chinese civil war, and TWers will see the cost of porcupine strategy and prolonged insurgency and connect the dots of how much more hopeless doing so on an isolated island will be.

>What happens when Europe faced with the threat of a lack of energy going into next winter?

What's the sociopolitical aftermath of EU embracing migrants? People are fickle once policy touch their lives, it's much easier to turn on the gas spigot again, waive away sanctions, reduced promised military expenditures than to kick out already settled migrants. There's also Trump 2024.
>Developer productivity is not about moving the needle, it is about outcomes, and not outputs.

What criteria does your team use to measure the outcomes and/or during a post-mortem?

> The real goal is to be more like a f1 pit crew where you leave out the metrics and end up performing better than if you measured them.

But all F1 pit crews have defined measurable metrics for success. I don't see the analogy here? Can you help me understand it?
Even not young Ukrainians. It's very stressful for everyone to hear as planes fly over the residential buildings and drop their bombs.

This may be true of 50-in-one megaprojects such as those from the likes of Uber and Google, but these machines are also beneficial to developers of more lean, focused, and optimized apps too. The few seconds my M1 Pro shaves off of incremental builds and the general improvements in IDE responsiveness compared to an upper-spec Intel mac pile up and become worth it quickly, not even mentioning quality of life improvements like far better battery life and being able to use the laptop in my lap comfortably.

For the projects I work on, compile time has been declining with each hardware gen despite app complexity increasing significantly. I’m sure there are other devs who this is true for too. We’re not all 5 abstractions deep and nonchalant about heavy resource usage and bad engineering.
I have nothing against the average Russian.

I am a fan of some of the higher aspects of Russian culture, including hardbass. But this is about getting a message across to the Russian society, that their inaction on the political front is leading their country and the World into WW3.

EVERY TIME the average Russian decides to close their eyes to the horrors perpetrated by their leaders, something very bad happens and who suffers most? The Russians.

They got their act together in 1991, they must get their act together now.

Yeah, I've definitely seen that shifting move before.
Agree 100% - Arm could certainly do better.

I do worry though that the RISC-V ecosystem could be really torn in two by a big player (Intel?) who adds proprietary extensions and associated software.
I grew up around a lot of Indian people, and I have definitely had the curiosity to know how to ask, but at the same time known that it would be taboo. I can only guess from their wealth or their last names.
I agree, a good set of rules is helpful.

But it only takes one person to ball up the whole process. Worse if they're some self-important early hire, promoted above their skills and full of idealism. Nobody will tell them to stfu. The tools enable them, since the process won't proceed until they hit a magic button.

I've suffered under this special kind of gatekeeping autocrat. My son has on several occasions. We've both left jobs in part because of it.
Hope we can get a performant 64 bits RISC-V desktop CPU not too far in the future.
This may be an significant inflection point in computer systems.
Increased compile time compared to doing polymorphism with an extra layer of indirection, I’m guessing
It actually does occur to me, mostly because I'm curious if all of my coworkers are of Brahmin caste. It doesn't matter to me personally, but obviously it would be of interest if all of the people in the Managerial or Lead roles are from a certain caste, while all of the lower-level Devs are in another.
Yeah that was unclear, I meant the base model 16 inch which has an M1 pro chip.

>the react-ish pseudocode probably doesn't make nearly as many allocations as a naive reading of the code might expect.

Who knows, if V8 manages it to turn it into a for-loop?
I don't, but after a quick googling, as of 2018, it certainly didn't:

The problem with JS is that the execution model is so nebulous, that performance advice basically boils down to - trust in Google.
I've also lost several loved ones from cancer. Stopping the metastatic progression is key to survival, but wow do cancerous cells ever know how to survive. We need to win this.
Not so fast. /ˈfɔːteɪ/ is a perfectly permissible English pronunciation for "forte", and it's also the one most if not all fluent speakers expect that word to take - especially since /ˈfɔːt/ is how we pronounce "fort" meaning "fortification". The next substantiated claim I see that these words should be homonymous will be the first, and even a substantiated such claim remains incorrect in the face of the way people actually use and understand language.

The only thing I see here to quibble with would be the acute accent on the final "e", which is rarely if ever a feature of modern English orthography in any case. Beyond that, I think GP's prescriptivism has, like that of the Académie Française, proceeded to a fault - specifically in GP's case, the fault of recommending you mispronounce "forte".
RISC-V is trying to create a standard platform specification to address some of these concerns

Yes, but what if they want that? Russia has already been talking about disconnecting from the Internet so they'll have complete control of their domestic network.

I don’t like this article because it is very scarce on data.

This article is very light on the proof. It is just riscv talking points.

Don’t get me wrong, concept is fine. But at this stage, after hearing about this for years, where is the traction? Prove it.

Then the reviewer should make that clear. And often that happens.

My objection is to the gatekeeping self-appointed code hero that has some arbitrary plan. One they probably don't adhere to themselves, but insist everybody else toes the line. Don't free objects that way! Don't test for null like that! I know a better way I heard of in a blog or a meme or on a message board, and I will delay the project and burn runway to make myself feel important!
That's just one example, and the issues with form associated components are not limited to ING. The Microsoft FAST form components also have a fuck ton of code to achieve what <label> + <input> can do in any non-webcomponent framework.

There are proposals for this and most of the other issues I have with web components. But they all feel like issues that could have been covered from the beginning.

Also if you go all Lit on an app with many nested shadow doms it becomes fairly painful to test with tools like cypress.
It seems like all negatives IMO. How does a developer re-balance a game if they sold an NFT item that's game breaking? Do you upgrade every other NFT item to compensate? Who pays for that? Everything on the blockchain is a transaction, so who's going to pay for attribute changes? What if you want permanent damage on items so that pristine NFT items are more valuable? Who's going to pay the transaction fee to have their item tagged as damaged or destroyed or with any negative stat?

We already know in game items that affect gameplay basically ruin the game for anyone that isn't a whale. The NFT proponents think they can get everyone emotionally invested like the whales are, but good luck catering to the masses to keep them happy. It's only possible with whales because there aren't many of them and they're the largest source of revenue.

Once you realize that blockchain and NFTs are about charging processing fees for every single event that happens the whole thing looks terrible. Eventually you'll be paying fees to track your items stats, so every time you click or tap it costs money.
