tl;dr: If you want to "own" the financial system, you need to be willing to be an importer of last resort, follow the rule of law, have deep financial markets, a freely exchangable currency, and freely tradeable debt. You also have to be willing to accept either rising debt or unemployment.

These can cause pain to countries who have them. Here's a quote from the piece:

"The one thing both sides agreed on, however, was that the US enjoyed an advantage because of the reserve currency status of the US dollar, with some people even assuming that the US was somehow repressing the ability of Europe, China and Japan to gain the advantage for themselves. No matter how many times the US engaged in policies that tried to shift the benefits to those countries, or these countries engaged in policies that prevented them from receiving the benefits, it was somehow clear to both sides that reserve currency status is a wonderful thing that everyone wants but only the US is allowed to have." (Emphasis mine.)
Serious question, how did you weigh up taking the "SSL" out of the book title?
Harsh. Dude ported liveview, this isn’t amateur level work.

It’s a useful brush but you can’t use it to paint everything.
Trying to click on links was awful in desktop firefox. There was a :hover effect that bolded the link and then moved it like 20-30px taking it out of the cursor.
DR the original paper, but have seen models of ultra-spectral sounders (polar -https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/NPP/images/index.html and geostationary). It is a wonderful tech and the capabilities are so impressive. Ultra spectral instrument (order of 5000 channels with 0.2 um resolution) and sensitivity of 0.1K on a geostationary satellite gives on 4D view of the atmosphere (3D spatial + time). It is so pleasurable to watch these movies ... though not useful for analysis. They are converted to 2D + time + color-scale for altitude such as here from GOES R (which is not ultra-spectral): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9Frwrjmkkg

(note the waves it resolves in time and space!)
Lucky! I was stuck with Packard Bell Navigator. Microsoft Bob would have been a step up from that heaping pile of garbage. The first thing I learned how to do on that computer was to disable it on startup and boot directly into Win95.
I think the fundamental issue with SPAs is that it's building on multiple levels of technology that fundamentally weren't designed to support being a single page application.

The browser <-> multiple pages paradigm is pretty much how the web evolved, so SPA's just end up being one giant hack to get everything working.

UWP/WPF/any other desktop app framework demonstrates how easy developing a 'single page application' can be without all the cruft you have to add to make a SPA work because it's actually a sort-of-massive-workaround.
For something with a lot of eyes on it, like the Linux kernel, I would think it unlikely. It's the smaller projects with no active maintenance that would be easier targets.

At the end of the day, all operating systems have exploits. Nation states pay big money online to buy the exploits for their own use, before the good guys find them and out them. If your system is being compromised by a nation state, it is much more likely buy a purchased exploit than by an explicitly-added backdoor.

I can't say anything about intercepting your communications, though. The NSA might or might not have technical ways of decrypting some of your encrypted communications.
Super cool project and write up.

What's the state of EEG these days?

Last I interacted with one of these systems it seemed more like confimation bias from noise.

Had a buddy who bought a "high end" headset, shaved his head to "improve the signal", and it appeared for all intents and purposes that it was mostly only reading concusive activity. He would "show me it's working" by tapping on the exterior of the sensors to get it to display a spike.

Conceptually these systems "make sense" to me, ie. the brain uses electromagnetism to function so one should be able to sense/manipulate those vectors, but an FMRI is MASSIVE and requires a 1-3 Tesla electromagnet to get its fidelity, and even then is only measuring blood flow and correlating that to brain activity.

So what's the hope that a tiny sensor resting on your skin will actually correspond to anything happening inside the brain?
Sanctions have never worked against Russia and they're now in a better position to resist them than ever before. So in the spirit of pure conjecture, some of my own: likely outcome is a reworking of the global economy. There will be the NATO bloc and the China-Russia bloc. It isn't impossible that there will be targetted trade deals between the two superblocs in 5-10 years. On a tech related note any country not making plans to repatriate all critical internet infrastructure ala China is basically trolling themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw peering agreements between China and Russia, sort of an expansion of the great firewall, especially if sanctions persist. As for clean technology.. lol. In my opinion the US and Canada are not serious about it. Germany has been making the wrong moves when it comes to renewables, and they're the largest EU economy.. So the chance of this affecting that seems small, but who knows. The energy crisis that is coming soon to the EU may change that.
That's a pity. Bandcamp is my go-to for getting DRM-free FLAC files straight from the artists. The site was a little crusty but they were a huge benefit as a tech-friendly independent music community.
Seaside on Squeak (now Pharo), is still my happy place for web application development.
> And GitHub supports embedded videos in README.md files

Any documentation on this? Because I have tried to embed video in issues and PRs before, and did not manage. I'm hoping such documentation will explain how this extends to issues and PRs.

Yes, exactly. If you pour water on you and sit in front of a fan, why the windchill effect wouldn't work anymore?!

I think this stuff only happens in absence of wind...
Good observation. This already happens within certain hospital systems, based on "protecting the numbers". So for instance a surgeon not wanting to take on a patient because it is a likely mortality on their record.
> In Austria, Chancellor Karl Nehammer stated that “of course we will take in refugees, if necessary”. Meanwhile, just last fall and in his then-role as interior minister, Nehammer was known as a hardliner against resettling Afghan refugees in Austria and as a politician who insisted on Austria’s right to forcibly deport rejected Afghan asylum seekers, even if that meant returning them to the Taliban. “It’s different in Ukraine than in countries like Afghanistan,” he told Austrian TV. “We’re talking about neighborhood help.”

But he wants the entire world to get involved in this "neighborhood war."

Black and brown countries should take note of this conflict very seriously. Western imperialism never died. The West is perfectly okay with black on black and brown on brown violence. It is only in the case of black/brown on white or white on white violence that they interfere with such ferocity.
I agree, many are not useful. Those are usually the fly swatting days. And to re-emphasize, I am a lousy hoop jumper.

I might send a C.V. if we can get past some basic questions, e.g. compensation range, remote/on-site, type of work, whether this is yet another CRUD that is no more than a pretty UI on an SQL db, and so forth.

But generally I take the attitude "I've already got a job, and you asked me, convince me I should." I'm polite and professional (most of the time) but I'm not wasting my time on leads that will go nowhere.

If I'm the ugly duckling with twenty bucks in my pocket and I espy a hot lady at the bar, sashaying up to her and saying "you should buy me a drink" ain't gonna cut it.† Too many companies are the ugly duckling.

† Though... uh... now that I think about it that actually worked with my wife so maybe you shouldn't listen to my advice.
> Your proposed method of setting compensation will end up paying people in Delhi less, because their BATNA will tend to be lower

I disagree, the company will just avoid SF engineers. Then, because nobody artificially adjust your salary based on location, salaries will equalize, so someone in Delhi and someone in Madrid will make the same, regardless of their location.

We're talking remote, you can't mix remote and on-site in the same conversation. The BATNA of both is the same, because they're competing in the same global market.
Google camera prompts about saving location on first startup. Graphene's default camera defaults to "off".

I naively assumed, given how GPS works, that I could enable location access, and disable network access for the camera app, and that it would still be capable of copying two floating point numbers from the local GPS chipset to the exif data.

Instead, it wants to call out to some questionable network services.

I'm clearly not the only one that wants this feature. Graphene even includes a reimplementation of the necessary Google API.

However, it (and the original google implementation) are flaky. This all "just worked" on my iPhone and (before that) Windows Phone. It didn't even occur to me that it was a thing that could be screwed up.
During WWII, the two rasputitsa/mud seasons generally were the only times the eastern front was slightly quieter and these seasons significantly impacted both sides.

Summer and even Winter generally saw numerous offensives by contrast.

During the first year, in October 41, Barbarossa and operation Typhoon (Battle of Moscow) stopped temporarily in part due to the rasputitsa, and only resumed when the ground froze in early November (incidentally giving time for the Soviets to reorganize the extremely weakened front protecting Moscow).

The soviet Winter offensives mostly stopped around the Spring rasputitsa, Case Blue and other initial battles only started only in late April 42. and after Stalingrad, the Soviet reconquest of the South during the 42/43 Winter stopped again around Spring 43, with offensive operation only restarting in July 43 (Battle of Kursk).

There are of course many other factors explaining these pauses (offensive strength exhausted, over-extended supply lines, etc), but rasputitsa was definitely a factor.
I’ve used multiple color palette generators and this is definitely one of the best. Besides the ML, showing the colors on images like a phone and real web pages is really impressive.

My one suggestion is since you have Bootstrap support, maybe add TailwindCSS utility support as well
You’re really enjoying that brush today.
What is the process by which this happens?
Or any country/individual that (checks notes) supports free press (e.g. WikiLeaks - remember, it was banned by Visa)
Too bad. It was one of the few good independent websites left. As always, the CEO said they'll remain independent and blah blah blah in the email, but we know how that goes.

Good tip for people on the music side, and something to suggest to them:

1. Set up but do not publish your Bandcamp Subscriptions

2. Add all your music to it

3. Now it's all downloadable in your own user-side Bandcamp library. Check the format: FLAC is best.

Assuming not everyone holds on to masters once they're uploaded.

More likely this budget is provided by the European Union for this particular sector investment. So they took it because it is from money. It doesn’t matter that the investment is not enough and it will deliver nothing or fail. The important thing is the money that will be distributed through bribes and overly inflated costs. This money is one reason more to fall in line with whatever policy the EU pursues. Including the current propaganda against Russia. Italy would lick any boot for money.
Clearly, we can't have an SPA front end performing an SQL query directly. The HTTP/GQL/REST services are the SPA equivalent of that data source (they are still a data source). The C++ and VB apps written back in the day were single user programs so yes that's a difference but not by much architecturally.

"Pages" are similarly in SPAs too. We usually have a router that helps the app decide what main "page" is on the screen.
Yes, both the original games and the remakes/remasters (hd edition and definitive edition) https://www.ageofempires.com/news/age-empires-definitive-edi...

> Wait, this game looks 3D?

> It certainly does look 3D! In our work to bring Age of Empires to modern devices, we used the same 2 dimensional isometric engine that is so recognisable from the original Age of Empires and Age of Empires II games. When we started development on Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, we started building further on this original engine as well. Modern tricks on top of the recognizable 2D engine results in a 3D look, but it’s still 2D at heart.
I am not sure I follow your meaning with regard to "being part of a gatekeeping network."
> The server rendered app will ALWAYS have to wait at least 1xRTT for every new render. The SPA does not.

Not necessarily. I think you're conflating caching/fetching and rendering here. You can cache rendered views in the same way you'd cache the data for those views.

Turbo does this, for example. When you navigate to a cached page it will display the page from the cache first, then make a request to update the cache in the background. So it's similar to what you describe, but with server-rendered content.
OneWeb: Russian ultimatum over UK satellite launch
This is a big out-of-left-field move. About 12 years ago I rebuilt a record label's site, and bandcamp integration was a big part of that effort. A founder there helped get everything working.

The brand name now has a ton of cachet — I hope it continues with the acquisition.
I'm assuming that, while the store will also remain separate, there will be at least backend ties into the Unreal asset store. Could see them trying to work with some music creators to set up licenses for people to buy to add their music to Unreal games.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Air_Force#2021%E2%80%9...

In terms of numbers according to the Wikipedia article they have about 650 air planes and ~300 helicopter's.

Thats a solid fighting force for a relatively small country.

Russia as lots of tools - missiles and such that are good at destroying buildings.

The problems in that Putin understands that the cities in Ukraine have value. He is trying to take them over with minimal destruction to the buildings at least right now. That way he could move his people with with out needed to rebuild.
Ah yes, the only source of civilization in the world is an slave-based war-driven empire that enjoyed blood sports and had (for most of its history) an absolute monarch.
I'm aware and have used SWIG. It is amazing, but a) it doesn't support all languages b) it still takes a lot of work to create C++ bindings. This is primarily due to the complexity of C++ APIs vs. relative simplicity of a C-based API as another poster commented, not any shortcoming of SWIG.

So yes, there are tools, my point is it is still much easier to wrap a C based API because you can often just use your language FFI, not an external toolset.
>It's oppressive because it's supposed to be, and frankly people who don't get it and demand explicit difficulty settings don't really want to play Dark Souls at all.

I 100% agree. I'm not really deep into the Souls games. My first game was Dark Souls 3 (after which, I went back to the original, and am still trying to setup and emulator for Demon's Souls).

What I find very compelling about these games' design is that the environment itself is very fair yet brutal. You don't run and jump across cliffs willy-nilly. You don't sprint into a dark room. A rickety bridge isn't something you carelessly waltz over. Everything is designed around patience and observance. Literally every trap in the game (with one exception) is telegraphed by the environment. You just have to look. Things being able to easily murder you is part of the experience. You don't level up in so much as get better at observing the game and learning mechanics. Stats do matter, sure, but even so your large healthbar isn't a guarantee of your survival. It allows you to make a few more mistakes at best.

I think people that want these games with a lower difficulty slider don't "get it". Virtually every other RPG pumps you full of stats and tells you that you're the chosen one. The leader, the one to rule them all. But you don't really earn it. Every level up makes you stronger while the world remains static, eventually culminating into you dominating based off of pure passive, mathematical advantage. Which I guess is fine for a medium that a lot of people use for escapism. But if that's what you want, then Miyazaki's games aren't for you. You have so many other games to choose from I don't understand why there's such a dreary emphasis on one of the few exceptions.
The fact that you responded to me and not to any of mama123 comments - a textbook case of what urban casteism looks like - tells me a lot about what an upper caste person's definition of good faith and bad faith is.
The war is already in the indiscriminate killing phase and moving towards just destroy city phase. Should be there in few days.

Slav fellowship does not work in wars. No fellowship works in wars.
There are always going to be civilian casualties in war, but it sure looks like they are trying to limit them. Would be worth comparing to other, similar conflicts. Surely a full scale air campaign would lead to more civilian casualties?
McDonald's exerts extremely extremely tight control over its franchisees by corporate standards. Every single thing about a McDonald's is meticulously specified and regulated by corporate, from the equipment installations to the number of pickle slices that go on a burger and the soap that goes into the bathroom.

Franchisees in general don't wear the pants in this relationship. If McD corporate says you use this machine, tough shit, you use that machine. I'm sure the feelings of franchisees are broadly speaking "taken into consideration" but it's not like there's a union here, the dynamic here is that franchisees will shut their mouths and go make some money for daddy.

It's a weird arms-length model that has run into some trouble before, particularly surrounding labor law, as McD corporate has some very detailed expectations on how franchisees will hire, fire, pay, and operate their employees.

Anyway basically if McDonald's says "you will take those things out of our machine" yeah, franchisees are absolutely going to hop to it. tbh if McDonald's were smart they'd just have done it without the "ackshually this thing will steal your girlfriend, poison your customers, and kill your dog" defamation, because if they'd simply said "we're terminating our business relationship with Kytch, have it removed in the next 2 weeks" franchisees absolutely would have done it anyway. Now they are fighting a lawsuit about it because they just had to get a dig in.
We are seizing ill gotten gains, not stealing.

It's honestly more like saying it forced someone to rape her sister.
EA removes Russian team from FIFA 22

Author here; Typescript itself provides only a limited subset of type reflection functionality, and only when decorators are used. This solution uses a TypeScript transformer to emit rich type information for classes, functions and interfaces without needing to use decorators. That information can then be introspected using a comprehensive reflection API.

That's right. That's the main point in favor of making the candidate do a simple questionnaire in office (or remote but in real time). Only 1 hour of their time is wasted.
Thought Leadership: The thing my manager said I’d forfeit by publishing this
You've repeated this take twice, but it is still wrong. Yes, the fastest water molecules on your skin escape. But you also have water from the air also latching onto your skin which you aren't accounting for. You're free to see how well evaporative cooling works when there is a lot of water in the air. You can just take a fan into a bathroom and run the hottest shower possible for a few minutes.
Preloading is a browser-native feature, you don't need a SPA for that. And just as often you can't know in advance what data will be requested by the user.

I can also confirm it's not a scam. I ordered in August 2016 and it was delivered in January 2021.

That sounds like an awful long time, but I ordered around the beginning when I knew it wasn't a finished product yet. It was a lot of research and experimentation with production. The key caps took quite a while to get right. Things should be a lot speedier now, though.

Anyway, I'm very happy with it. I type morning to night so I think the cost was worth it for me. Like investing in a chair you find particularly comfortable. Or a standing desk. It makes the Model M look and feel like an embarrassment.
Many conflicting viewpoints here. Sure, there's been less of a push from Russia than everyone expected, but it's not like Ukraine controls the sky either.

Are Ukranians really still flying? If that was the case, the mentioned 40-mile convoy heading to Kiev would have been hit by now, no? Russians driving vehicles bumper to bumper shows VERY strong confidence that they own the sky, so things might not be as rosy for Ukraine as they seem.
From the article...

"That would have been "the logical and widely anticipated next step, as seen in almost every military conflict since 1938," wrote the RUSI think-tank in London"
Curious on your medical and pharmacy trend combined, how does it compare to other insurance carriers like Aetna, United, Kaiser Permanente, etc.

There is only so much you could do on the administration/retention side of the cost puzzle, I believe for KP it's around 3-4% of the total PMPM, a lot of the cost savings will come from

1) not participating in the government programs (medicaid, medicare, aca), which the commercial market largely subsidizes
2) controlling the provider costs, how much control/influence do you really have with a small membership base to negotiate from?

Interesting concept, I think the legacy carriers are working to improve their tech stack and providing this on-demand type of care. I wish you a lot of luck!
Also surprised not see 'Brave Search' listed as an alternative to Google Search. Its a fantastic search engine and it is only getting better.
