Wow. I'm so, so sorry for Satya and his family. Zain seems like he was a beautiful person. What an absolute titan of a father, who not only has achieved incredible success, but who also made sure to share proudly with the world of technology all the lessons he learned about accessibility from Zain and the perspective of the disabled. Zain and Satya, you've made such an impact. God bless you.

A lot of stuff mentioned in the article is true. I would even go ahead (at peril being downvoted by Indian patriots) that India is a deeply racist country. My parents, educated upper middle class working folks use to 'educate' me to not get married outside our caste and such. Caste system is deeply rooted in India and you can pretty much read about it from lots of sources online. India has a lot of right provisions (like the reservation system for SC/ST/OBC akin to affirmative action type of stuff in US if I am not mistaken) but in a typical fashion those provisions are either not applied properly or are abused by people in such categories. India is also a deeply poor country with a history of systemic racism so its not surprising some of the beliefs have landed in silicon valley too.

> Do you feel threatened when a coworker asks about where you are from? It's something I do ask from time to time (not during interviews obviously, but during lunch for example) out of pure curiosity. Should I stop?

I think its a fair question. Its not as much about where a person is from but "what caste they belong to" type of stuff that might be offensive.

Absolutely true. I’d add that Rust is also doing a lot more expensive optimizations in release builds.
Along with others here, I'm questioning your "Ukraine...cannot win" comment.

As I see it, they have already won, and will continue to win for a long long time.

What I mean by this is that western countries didn't support them in the way (I feel) they should have, probably because they believed that Russia would easily walk over Ukraine, similar to how it had caused such confusion and prevented a defense in Crimea (I'm not a historian, this is my naive view of those events).

Ukraine stood up to the bully, and showed us (the west) that we were wrong to not believe in them. It isn't over, and it can't be claimed as a victory yet, but they convinced the west that they had enough of a chance that we should come to their aid. They showed us what the Ukrainian spirit is. They have given hope to other regions and countries that may come under threat in the future.

I wonder if they have given China extra pause in their stance toward Taiwan.

If Putin loses in Ukraine, could that also mean the end of his regime in Russia? The Russian people are standing up to him. He has proven that he is not only fallible. Will this also be taken as a sign of weakness to Russians?

You're absolutely right about cheap energy, and it's why I thought this was a strange time for Russia to invade Ukraine. Europe will be coming out of winter in a few weeks. This gives the summer to shore up reserves and build out alternative energy sources. Remember, Tesla built the Adelaide, Australia power plant in less than 100 days[1].

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

Cloud, therefore multi-cloud is the future
My predication, for the record: Putin is mad, old, and he certainly would not care to die these days looking outside the window into a sea of mushroom clouds. I'm virtually certain that he had at least one dream about this in his sleep - maybe long time ago, in the '80s.

So he is mad, surrounded by yes-man with a populace that is used to being lied to all the time, used to the feeling that they know more than what is allowed to say publicly, you can read The Master and Margarita, written about hundred years ago, that describes this same exact feeling.

Ukrainians, in an act of fatal heroism will fight; all that gets bloody. Kiev stands; Russians will try to starve the city to death; won't let any humanitarian help into the city; West will try to not lose their cool about the atrocities; but then something happens; some image that just surpasses the cruel picture of war we already have; people in West will demand justice; it will be hard to be bystanders when millions of lives are at stakes so obviously. That will be on a Friday. On Sunday, we defconned our way back to the stone age; world population will be back to 500M to 1B within this year.

And a new world will be born.
I would say that new facts are facts that were not known or knowable before.

We learned a lot about covid over the past two years. Vaccines came along. Treatments have improved. The virus itself has changed. Populations have prior exposure. More study results are available. Etc. We continue to learn.

Yes, it was 0.9 percent APR. I lost less than $300. I took the liquidity over the $300–having the principal in the bank was worth more to me than $300.
I realise your post is in jest, but I've found that responsive slack (due to a similar machine upgrade) has actually had a noticeably positive effect on my productivity. Checking a slack notification is now a ~2-5 second task, quick enough that I can switch back to my task with losing context. It used to be more like 10-20 seconds if my machine was under load which was highly disruptive.
> Sweden and Finland do not pose such a threat. Finland is on the border too but a much less exposed portion.

Ah, good to hear you know more about how Russia sees these things than they do themselves.

It's realistic.
Google Spanner vs. CockroachDB
No it's not due to the implementation, it's due to the language specification: there is no general subtyping.

You can see it this way: there is implicit syntactic sugar that creates an interface value (pointer + type info) when you assign a value of type T to a variable of type interface I where T implements I. This happens on variable assignment, function parameter bindings and return value bindings.

A slice of Is is just a very different type from a slice of Ts. The assignment magic sugar works, but it works at the level of slice elements, not the whole slice.

When Russians will take Ukrainian nuclear reactor, this war will be nuclear regardless of what you want.
> stateless

This is a bug, not a feature, especially if you make your tokens long-lived. If your implementation is completely stateless, then there's no way to invalidate a token to allow a user to log out. If a JWT somehow gets stolen, the user has no way to terminate the stolen session.

At best, you could create a blacklist of tokens that have been invalidated, which would delete rows as time goes on and the tokens reach their natural expiration date to avoid the database growing forever. But at that point, it's no longer stateless.

Russia pulling back is more unimaginable now than a Russian invasion was in January.
I believe it. I did benchmarking on my algorithms and it wasn't uncommon to see speedups in that range just executing on newer hardware from an old laptop.

However, it's kind of amusing to think how shocked we are by this development when such things were taken for granted in the 90s.
Poland in particular knew exactly what would happen. And it did. They were disregarded as Russophobes with legacy baggage. Turns out they had valid reasons all along, the west just thought that they can trade around those issues, but they failed to understand that Putin does not think like a trader. He thinks like a dictator.
They're on roads. The ground is muddy.

Pop the leader with a Javelin. Pop a couple more vehicles that try to get around it. Presto, instant traffic jam and the Russians have repeatedly shown they clump up in traffic jams. Now you hit the vehicles in the rear, you're not likely to need sophisticated weapons to do that.

Now you have a huge mess that you can rain mortar fire on.

Finland did a lower-tech version of it to them long ago with trees rather than mud as the barrier.

“He must be given an option, otherwise this ends really, really ugly.”

Assuming we are still in a world where pure madness is not an option (nukes), it is possible Putin will commit to a protracted occupation of Ukraine (years). The west has a, how to put it, a lack of consistent ability to pay attention to a drawn out occupation in a land far far away (that shit might as well be middle earth to us).

Putin has said in his own words that if Russia is to be left out of the world, then why should Russia care what the world thinks?

They will occupy Ukraine for years, maintain and build relations with Iran, Brazil, China, India. The west will go through its own turn over, Trump may run again in 2024. It could be years, the EU could turn right wing. Border states will have to stop being romantic and start really incorporating the half a million Ukrainians (soon to be more, Britain has already Brexited because their population will not tolerate migration. Watch how awful the reality of the refugee crisis will be).

It will be 2032, years later, with new government powers all over the world. It’ll be a changed world, but perhaps not as ‘green’ as people believe. India and China increase their energy demands and Russia is still there to provide it. Like the Taliban, the world may tire of them by then and capitulate. Now they own Ukraine, and have demonstrated an ability to survive isolation.

The game plan may not be shock and awe or nuclear destruction, but a true willingness to simply endure. We are buying the narrative that Putin has lost because the invasion is taking so long, but in reality the whole thing is supposed to be a long drawn out operation. We’ll be tired of hearing about Ukraine in month 2, 3, 4 …. we’ll be exhausted. Reddit front page will be back to mostly cat videos. The window of opportunity is really on Ukraine and the west to do something now, not Russia.

The UN can walk out of the chamber in protest, but cannot even ratify a modest peace keeping force. Not one country dare even send planes to create limited no fly zones over certain places, even Chernobyl. Most of us are not watching the poker hands carefully here. Just because you have two face cards to start with, doesn’t mean the flop won’t be a bunch of 2s and 7 of clubs. The flop is what’s going to get Zelinsky either killed in a air raid or exiled if he is smart.

The modern world is the slow apartheid state of Palestine, the silent destruction of Syria and Yemen, the ignored subjugation of Hong Kong, the forfeited Afghanistan to the Taliban, the tacit acceptance of Khosgi killing in an embassy. The occupation of Ukraine or the valiant liberation of a democratic state? Which of those two fits with all the others?

There is nothing stopping them from just allowing anyone to add a normal totp 2fa generator, they just chose to not do that to get more of that sweet, sweet data.

I'd kind of like to approach this the way I was taught to approach university programming projects years ago: shortcomings are fine if you document them, as long as you've written something that at least mostly works. Especially in learning projects, an honest effort and an awareness of potential issues should be enough, and documenting them allows a potential user to make informed decisions of their own. The worst-case scenario should be that a potential user ignores your project because it doesn't answer their needs.

I don't know how companies approach these kinds of things but I think it would make sense for them to appreciate an awareness and a realistic assessment of potential issues over perfection.
> ARM's less open platform also comes with some advantages though. It's easier for ARM to prevent ecosystem fragmentation and non-standard instruction set extensions.

It's kind of funny way of looking at the core part of the ARM ecosystem while forgetting how much outside of the CPU is non-standard, undefined. None of the ARM devices share bootloader, device enumeration, and a plethora of things needed for an open, non-fragmented OS/Software ecosystem like how PC does.

Maybe you can run parts of the same ARM machine code on most devices, but it's not terribly portable to be honest, it has to be very generic. For example, Android devices end up in a pile of trash because you can't just upgrade the kernel to the latest version on a 1, 5, 10 year old smartphone without losing functionality or being stuck at step 1 for the lack of tools from broken forum links and shady fileshares. So much for software flexibility...
How many fatalities would be expected in the population that the vaccines were administered to? At that time, people were being prioritized by age.

Without some consideration of the expected deaths, this doesn't provide much information.

(it's also not very interesting without the number of vaccines administered; the US had administered 10s of millions of doses by the end of February. 42,000 / 50,000,000 isn't that high a rate of any side effect, and that's excluding the many doses administered outside the US)
It's not escalation because so far, the sanctions haven't had an effect on the ground in the Ukraine. If Putin pulls out of the Ukraine and the world keeps ratcheting up sanctions, then that would be escalation.

How is not applying more sanctions until they are effective anything less than appeasement? Which does not have a great historical record...

> It's unlikely that they will engage nuclear weapon if the west intervene in Ukraine.

2 weeks ago it was "unlikely" Russia launches a full scale war on Ukraine. Putin is crazy and will use nukes if he deems it necessary.
