> Java has a shell by default since forever now. You can start it by issuing jshell of any semi-modern JDK.

Yes, I'm aware of Jshell. Jshell is what you get when you take a static strongly typed compiled language and you give it an interactive shell. It's not exactly coherent, and still doesn't solve the most salient issues. Using JShell is better than an IDE IMO, but if we're going that direction then why are we still using Java? There are far better interactive languages out there.

> to me it was a giant oddball

It is an oddball language, because most languages are written by developers for developers to do the things developers do. Matlab was written for scientists to do science, and because scientists are not developers, Matlab is designed in a way that is more friendly to them. Sure, learning Matlab is not going to help you in a job interview at an OOP shop, if only just because the interviewers there have an opinion about Matlab being an oddball language (although I've managed to get an interviewer to call in his colleagues to see my one liner Matlab solution to a whiteboard coding question, "We've certainly never gotten that answer before" they said). But the things that make it odd to professional programmers make it more understandable to children, I have found. 1 indexing is the best example. People here will complain about it endlessly, but children will consider it obvious and won't think twice about indexing an array with 1 as the first element.

Here's the difference.

Matlab: To access the first element, do x(1).
Student: okay.

And then we move on to the next topic or the activity at hand.

All other languages: To access the first element, do x[0].
Student: Wait, why? Why is the first thing 0? What can't the first thing be 1? That makes no sense whatsoever.

And then we spend the next amount of time talking about indexing, not doing fun things like the activity at hand. The difference between 1 indexing and 0 indexing is trivial in the grand scheme of things. But it's and example of something where just a slight change is the difference between understanding and confusion.

> Also, are you sure matlab is a good language for learning?

I am not sure, that's why I'm doing research on it. But the reason I'm doing research here is because I saw a dramatic result from an experiment, and I want to pull on that thread. The experiment was teaching robotics to middle school students (11-13) using C++ and Matlab. Both groups with little to no computing experience. One was taught C++ in the context of making a robot do a task. The other was taught Matlab. The Matlab group finished the task with ample time to spare, while the C++ had barely gotten past the C++ preliminaries and needed extra time to finish the task. There's got to be something here, it's not like we were trying to make Matlab win. We thought maybe it would have a slight edge but it was just a blowout.
I am Polish. When Polish people revolted against Soviets it was because we have seen better life was possible. It was exactly because we had access to alternate message.

I don't think cutting off a country in a situation like that is helpful at all. If anything, it is making it easier for pro-Putin propaganda.

I would also remind that Russia itself build capability to cut itself off from the Internet. Yes, we would be doing them a favour because right now they might hesitate to do it by themselves fearing backlash from people who do not care about politics or anybody else at all but do care about having Internet access.
How does it compare with https://httptoolkit.tech/
What about a bulge?
I don't think they will. Russia is being isolated from the Western world and will naturally become very dependent on China. They will get what they want peacefully sooner or later.

I wonder if that rule is more to avoid people doing lazy ports of existing artwork files leaving stuff like "X Disc Box Set", "Our Price[1] Exclusive" or the Compact Disc logo on the covers. Although it's hard to parse, so I might be wrong.

don't build microservices to start off with

and you describe:

because the email logic was spread out everywhere and called from multiple apps

so it doesn't sound like a counterpoint to me - you didn't start off with the email service, and only split it off after it was already established across multiple entities. Plus, you added a bunch of justifications for this, i.e you could "bring a strong argument in favor of it" - so where is the strawman in your examples?
Also Indian government has been pushing an alternative network called RuPay for which they have been trying to find international partners.
> This is just another variant of "cloud first" mentality, assuming that cloud service providers are actually going to be better than you (as opposed to just cheaper) in carrying out these tasks.

I think it is a variant of "assumed correct" which gets me into all kinds of trouble when I make that assumption.
That's exactly right, the internet is a lifeline for both distribution of the real information about the current events and a powerful coordination tool for the opposition and the human rights groups such as https://ovdinfo.org/ that are providing free legal help to the 7670 people already arrested during the anti war demonstrations in Russia. Shutting it all the down would leave russia with state media and gov narrative only.
There's a big difference between setting that kind administration up immediately after bringing nominal peace by kicking out an occupying army people hated more and being the initial occupier setting those things up.

People were willing to put up with a lot for peace in 1945-48.

Russia will probably try but there's so many key details between now and then it's hard to make any confident predictions.

100% with you on this. The number of games that end up being bejeweled clones (now with ads, yes we know you paid, but not the subscription!) is soul-crushing.
Film: Frame Interpolation for Large Motion and Web Demo
One thing that's confusing/annoying from the Stripe developer experience is that subscriptions generate an absolutely huge number of webhooks. There's probably 10 or 15 webhooks per recurring payment, and many of those contain the same data. Different pieces of documentation talk about the importance of different webhooks. Additionally, I've never found a good way to easily test webhooks related to recurring payments without resorting to manual testing. I could easily imagine the OP being confused by Stripe webhooks.
> Both current and blockchain solutions are pay to win in the exact same ways

They don't.

> The blockchain solution solves other problems.

It doesn't. As in there are no problems blockchain solves, period, and it makes most existing problems worse.

> I'm not sure what your criticism of this even is

You want to normalise and incentivise the behaviour. And pretending that by simply appending "blockchain" to it it is okay.
Here's the meat of the story:

> Asking for credit-card information within Windows isn’t that startling, as you’ve probably already entered payment information into the Microsoft ecosystem either for buying apps or movies on the Microsoft Store app or for making similar purchases via your Xbox. Still, those transactions are normally performed via your Microsoft Account web page, which manages all of that online and behind the scenes.

The main difference being that instead of a browser interfacing your Microsoft Account, there's a Settings interface for the same information.

What I would really like is some compare/contrast with alternative operating systems. We know how this works in Windows before this change. Does macOS have any way to manage your Apple Account payment information through settings, or do you have to go to a web page? How about iOS and Android?
You should investigate bold claims like the human shield one. Not only does it sound like Russian propaganda, multiple major news sites state that there is no evidence that this is true.
Or you could use IPFS with P2PConnect where you can look them up by public key and completely skip DNS.
Disney has a finite amount of money to gain in that market, and collecting it when sanctions are afflicting the main banks is risky and complicated. There’s also a PR win to be had.
>You have my condolences for being a victim of all this ridiculous posturing and virtue signaling.

It ain't virtue signaling when the Treasury Department blocks all transactions related to your business. So please stop with the alt-right bs talking points, we're in the prelude to a world war it's not time for getting mad at businesses who are literally not able to transact at all (Stripe is in the same boat here as many other firms due to the EO).
These indiscriminate sanctions against the whole Russian populations might be one of the biggest political blunders of the decade: The Russian population will likely channel their suffering and anger against the West instead of their government. China will buy crumbling Russian assets for cheap. Russia and China will become closer allies. The whole global economy will be thrown into a second (supply chain …) shock.

What would have been the alternative (after the invasion started)? Targeted complete sanctions against the government and all enablers for sure, but would that be enough?
That isn't the Great Firewall's doing. Internet Protocols are designed that isolated networks will still work.

The Great Firewall just makes you used to not having free access to information, which would happen when a network is isolated.
I wouldn't even say "when your goal is profit." I'd say "when your goal is a full plate." Growing food in quantities anywhere approaching what you can buy at the supermarket for a few dollars is remarkably hard. The number of cases of "I worked for months on those pepper plants and I got eight small peppers" or "my carrots are so small they are completely unusable" is high.
It's depressing how utterly normal this level of censorship has become in Western society. Ten years ago there would have been at least a modicum of ho-hum about decisions to ban foreign media.

I've watched RT on a few occasions and I never thought their reporting outright propaganda. It does have a clear non-pro-West bias which gives you a dose of awareness that Western reporting is biased too.
Counterpoint: anyone who suggests the number of microservices should correlate to the number of developers should be fired instantly.

Wikipedia has a list of controversial album covers[0], and trying to split them into pornographic/not pornographic is tricky, at best. It would be a shame to lose many of those covers (which IMO have plenty of artistic merit) because of a draconian implementation of this rule, but there’s plenty others that are just cheap. Unfortunately, Apple is listed on several as having come down on the side of (again, IMO) being overly conservative.

Insert JS is one of the most used features. Requestly also allows adding multiple scripts which are loaded sequentially So you can basically add a library URL like jQuery and write a code block which depends upon jQuery. Proxyman is a very good tool. No doubt over it. SSL handling is a challenge and I just don't like the way we have to setup things for Mobile app debugging, that's the trigger for building the native SDK for us.
I'm not sure there is anything extra messy about MLOps: there are lots of vendors in pretty much any area that has profit potential. If you put all vendors on a chart, it will look messy, but you aren't going to be working with ALL of them (e.g., if you pick Snowflake you likely won't also be working with RedShift, Databricks...). The messy part I guess is the evaluation/selection, but not the integration or learning per se, as this article seems to imply. The article looks like a good reference for what's out there though.

You are right in that desktop Java aldready was a mess when Oracle took over. And I agree that distribution was a hassle. At the time it was hard to create standalone .exe or .msi for distribution. Webstart broke so often it was impossible to use outside strictly controlled corporate environments

But the bundling of Ask toolbar came about in 2013, so that was definitely Oracles doing.
Thank you ICANN for a sane decision. If Russia gets cut from the Internet, a precedent would have been firmly established. It will be pretty clear that every nation has to build its own independent internet. The global internet will then eventually be on the path to become a legacy architecture.
Why would I use requestly for Android when perfectly good alternatives already exist ? Flipper (https://fbflipper.com/) lets me do all of this (viewing, mocks, etc), with the same setup. And it's extensible too. HTTP Toolkit offers the proxying solution to it. Is there anything that might be different ?
This seems to have answered a longstanding question I had about French surnames. I had come across a presentation given by a person bearing the name "La Rochefoucauld" and I always wondered if she was descended from the eponymous noble family or related to the famous writer. This website tells me that in France the name "La Rochefoucauld" is uncommon but not rare so I guess the answer to that question is "maybe".

I also searched for "Monteverdi" out of curiosity and the largest cluster bearing that name are in Lombardy centred around Cremona, which was indeed where the famous composer was born four and a half centuries ago.
My understanding is that, in an ideal case, the medium only affects epsilon and mu, the permittivity and permeability, which are easily found and substituted from lookup tables.

I just want to see the specs and documentation that come out of it. Nvidia and the seniconductor industry at large have for too long sat high and gotten fat off of flouting the principle behind the Right of First Sale, and to be honest, I'd kinda like to see a massive shift where more attacks like this happen to places that try to hide the implementation details of their IC's behind draconian knowledge walls.

Of course, I also want people to be bloody reasonable with patents and whatnot. I'm not holding my breath.

I have a scalp solution for psoriasis. Once, I noticed that it felt a bit different three days in a row (didn't burn when I applied it).

Finally, on the third day, I actually looked at the bottle. Turns out, the bottle looks exactly like the bottle of saline nasal rinse. I was just applying slightly salty water to my scalp.

Funny and frustrating as it was, I am SO glad I didn't spray a highly potent typical steroid into my sinuses...
Another interesting addition is what Microsoft calls Smart App Control, or SAC. Microsoft describes it as a “new security feature for Windows 11 that blocks untrusted or potentially dangerous applications.”

I've already started having problems with 3rd party security software that marks mine as likely malware because the installer unpacks itself to the temp folder. I dread to think what this might get up to.

> Integration is for instance not having to use QString(View) is the first place, like one doesnt with many of the bindings, including Qts own Python binding.

that's because Python has unicode strings. C++ doesn't have a single, canonical unicode string type.

QString and QStringView are fundamentally different data types than std::string and std::string_view which aren't unicode ; the std::string and std::string_view Qt equivalents are QByteArray and QByteArrayView.
In ideal conditions we could do that, but the world is messy. There are many competing forces that need to be balanced, and it almost always can't be done without some blowback or collateral damage or compromise.

So we take a pragmatic approach based on our best information at the time, and as quickly as possible. How do you stop a dictator with the world's largest arsenal of nukes from engaging in a 19th century style land grab without destroying the world political order, world economies, and perhaps even the world itself? Now how do you do it without creating a power vacuum?

It's easy to stand back observing the results and criticize in hindsight (and believe me, we'll get plenty of that in a few months), but right now people need to make quick and possibly inefficient decisions using whatever information they can gather because the consequences are so grave.
China is concerned only with itself, they obviously don’t care about Ukraine but are eager to loot the sanctioned economy of Russia. The coalescing of Western interests and reinvigorated NATO are not in their favor of course, but are no existential threat.

Ultimately, I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Democracy would be ideal, but I’d rather see Russia utterly dependent on Beijing than autocratic and warmongering as they are now.

>> Azure/Office365 was genius, its going to keep them in the black for many years to come.

I'm sure that was planned similar to OneDrive, which is an utter piece of shit. I got a laptop at work with some hundreds of GB of storage. OneDrive was automatically backing everything up (I didn't ask it to). But then I ran out of free storage space on OneDrive, so I couldn't save files properly anymore until I did something about that. They wanted me to pay for more storage. Keep in mind I still had over 100GB free locally. I disabled OneDrive. All my files seemed to disappear. My options were to pay, or find where they were archived and pull them all out and put back where I wanted them (documents, desktop, etc...). It borders on ransomware, except you can get your stuff back if you pay attention and take a little time.

Most people don't actually want cloud computing. They do want cloud storage though. What we need is for Western Digital or similar to create a personal cloud storage system that you connect to your own network. (I've got many ideas around this, including backup, sharing, etc).
I'm curious to understand what makes you think so?
