You wouldn't belive how often companies use excel with external datasources like this. Excel basically is the common-ui for a lot of people.

And most of the projects I worked on in my professional career as a webdev, were replacing such workflow with a proper web application, because excel does not scale and eventually people fuckup their data.
Well, we are importing those problems here in Europe too. Private practices does surgery that isn't needed because they get more money from the state.

There seems to be a number of standard procedures in USA medicine that doesn't really exist in Europe but the private medical community would be happy to import them.
I wouldn't expect the 'Anonymous' script-kiddies to admit that they got 'pwned' by another bunch of script-kiddies DDoSing them. After all, this is not even newsworthy since DDoSing doesn't even come under 'hacking' anyway. It's just flooding a server somewhere with high traffic until it is brought down.

Like I said, hacktivists like Anonymous are predictable with their methods to the point that someone else has done it to them (if true). What else can they do other than DDoSing and shodan.io lookups that those other hackers can also do in seconds?

No wonder they are screaming to the CEO of Cloudflare to stop protecting websites in Russia. As so-called 'real hackers' would be able to find a way round that protection.
Vote with your feet Googlers. If you enjoy being in an office - by all means get stuck in.

If it's not your cup of tea and you'd rather work remote, you should be able to find work elsewhere and I recommend you do.
I would think that "money flowing into my bank account" would be a KPI. OP did seem to notice something was off there, but ignored it! Instead he decided to trust a dashboard that just told him "you revenue is growing, yay!" That seems foolish.
I saw your blog post a couple of days ago, This looks really promising!
Good job. SWIFT is SWIFT tho...
We don't know that yet, do we?

For many, the exact forced socialization through work, commutes and office culture that's going on is what drains them to the point of isolating themselves afterwards. I expect most people no longer working under that system to find a way out of their social isolation, given the friction for those venues isn't too high.

Maybe if we stop pushing people into a catch-all environment and give them time, money and means to solve their problems, they will.. solve their problems. All of those three have been dwindling over the past few years.
Knitting is a hobby with a very low barrier of entry, that really anyone can do (given the time and $10 for tools and materials to start). Yes, if you want to know the name of the sheep that gave wool for your sweater, things can become expensive, but so can be every other hobby, if you complicate things enough.

Then someone comes, does something, someone else doesn't like it, and bam, a racist card is played... why? I know it's $current_year, but it's knitting... what does race have to do with knitting?
> But that also shows the issue - transportation emissions aren't caused by having a lot of people!

Perhaps so technically, but not practically. Space itself is a resource, and people want space. More people means more space consumption. And that has always been the US’s great luxury. Lots of desirable space per person, in conjunction with low fossil fuel prices.

And while one can theorize about how densely people can and should live together, the reality is it will be politically unpopular if the population has an option (i.e. is not too poor to have to live super densely). Notwithstanding one’s 20s when a tiny apartment in a dense urban core satisfies one’s desires.

Eventually, that expectation of quality of life always gives out to the luxuries of space and individual cars.
At Asana we've got a hybrid thing going on, where generally (pandemic aside) we're in the office "more often than not". Have a look at asana.com/jobs - the people are awesome, culture is great, company is fun, the mission is inspiring, the product is the best and we're leading the space of collaborative work management platforms.

If the goal is to get more people health care, then letting them deduct visits for cheaper care in the country they reside in would be a good thing. It more strain on the US healthcare system and the planet to have expats traveling back for a procedure and the deduction would be less because the healthcare cost is less.

And remember the reaction to the House press secretary Jen Psaki saying the US would provide vaccines to all Americans and then immediately walking that back when a reporter ask about those abroad with, "we have not historically provided private healthcare for Americans living overseas, so that remains our policy"? I'd say this was joke if it wasn't about the health of US citizens not getting care while paying their whole lives for it (this isn't Medicare, but still the reaction and aversion to health services aboard).
As for "git for everything", try SparkleShare or LogicalDOC CE.

Sad to see roscosmos obliterate itself.

Or more abstractions. Where the original problems that we were trying to get away from, resurface in new ways, and previously solved problems have to be reimplemented.
What about launching with Ariane Space?

I don't want to pretend or seem like an expert, but the west is doing a lot to help Ukraine...

- a lot of equipment is sent to Ukraine: Bayraktar drones, MiGs fighters, javelins to just name the most expensive and effective.

- CIA intel.

- NATO training of Ukrainian soldiers.

- Mercenary/individual forces moving to Ukraine to help.

I think it explains the difference between the defense of Crimea and the rest of the Ukraine...
In software Engineering there is no evidence that working from home is less productive. Personally it is quite the opposite with open offices still being the norm in most companies.

However, it is important to adapt your company to a remote working culture. You can't simply replace your physical meetings with Zoom meetings. In order to ensure a good team spirit, it is also important to organise regular meet ups between all your remote staff at least once a quarter.

And regarding your approach to "quickly" resolve things, I shall refrain from repeating the words that software engineers use for people like you. You are assuming that your issue is the highest priority issue that needs to be resolved immediately. This can be highly disruptive for Software Engineers, especially when multiple business stakeholders tend to do the same.

This looks awesome, but is a short book much too big to digest in one
sitting.

It seems full of quite original thought.

Yet at the same time, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Mill, Redbeard, Rand,
Machiavelli, Schmitt, Posner, and most of the important thinkers on
jurisprudence seem absent.

From the first few dozen paragraphs I get an impression the author has
a narrow understanding of the "rule of law" - as a pragmatist - as
opposed to the "Rule of Law" (capitalised) as a principle.

There's plenty of books on how the law fails to live up to its
promise. To pick one at random see The Secret Barrister: Why the Law
is Broken [1] (which is an amazing read!)

However, that is to miss a central philosophical principle, which I
would say is something like this:

The Rule of Law is that faith we put in the law _even though_ we KNOW
it is imperfect, biased, inconsistent and run by fallible humans. We
are not unaware of the contradiction. The contradiction is central to
the principle.

> I'm not saying that you are making things SFINAE friendly.

I thought that's why you wrote "static_assert instead of trying to be SFINAE-friendly" then, but okay.

> I'm just curious about a use case you have where you use enable_if on completeness.

That's all you want, without SFINAE? How about something like this:

template<class T>
class S {
std::unique_ptr<unsigned char[]> buf;
public:
template<std::enable_if_t<((void)sizeof(T), true), bool> = false>
explicit S(unsigned char *p, size_t n) : buf(p) {
assert(sizeof(T) <= n);
}
// ...
};

NDEBUG optimizes out the completeness check that's implicit in the assert() call, but you'd still want to ensure completeness even without the assert, so you write it explicitly. Obviously you can use static_assert here too, but merely using enable_if in lieu of that doesn't suddenly get you an ODR violation.

EDIT:

Come to think of it, actually I think static_assert here is less safe than enable_if and increases the risk of an ODR violation. Check out the difference in behavior here when you uncomment the enable_if_t:

#include <type_traits>

class X;

template<class T>
class S {
public:
// template<std::enable_if_t<((void)sizeof(T), true), bool> = false>
explicit S(unsigned char *) {
static_assert(sizeof(T) > 0, "oops");
}
};

static S<X> s(nullptr);
int main() { }
class X { };
I was just contemplating the other post about the knitting community being notoriously toxic. I wonder if it's more susceptible to trolling, and these people (internet trolls) who want to make everything about race and gender etc. come in an walk all over the community because it's a low-stakes hobby with lots of casual, nice, participants who don't put up a fuss?

There was bad blood between Elon Musk and Greg Wyler the messianic swindler founder of OneWeb. But Greg Wyler is long gone to find new credulous investors. And his main investor support in OneWeb, Masayoshi Son of Softbank, has lost most of its stake OneWeb after the Chapter 11 bankruptcy. So who knows ?

Besides that, it is hard to get a balanced view of the question because SpaceX zealots paint a rosy picture of the benevolence of the company toward what is still the only constellation that may look like a competitor to Starlink (even if it is a weak competitor).

Also, most of the news reports focus on OneWeb buying Soyuz Russian rockets. But the reality is that OneWeb bought launches from Arianespace that buys Soyuz rockets / Baikonour access through its subsidiary Starsem co-owned with Russia. So Arianespace/ArianeGroup may be on the hook for the breach of contract and possibly loss of 36 satellites.

And they are in deep trouble with the planned end of Ariane 5, no more Soyuz, Vega with no Ukranian upper stage and an uncertain progress of Ariane 6.

Disclosure: I have been involved in the OneWeb project but not a OneWeb employee.
This type of product is quite niche. I would also presume most people that hate being tracked enough to want this are also technically capable of doing it themselves. That leaves people who know enough to form a strong opinion but not enough to feel confident with android OS work. I wonder how many of this small chunk would also want to put up double or triple the cost of the device for the OS labor.
Well, if you happen to have some bitcoins that you are willing to sell to me for less than their "market value" today, then please, get in touch with me...

The same goes for any other money/not-money's out there... If anyone has gold/silver/diamonds that he wants to get rid of for a price lower than the market value, then again, please get in touch with me....

It's a valid point, but most companies went the first year and a half of the pandemic without using their real estate at all and the last 6 months barely using it. Smart companies should have optimized their real estate footprints by now.

Speaking of space, what happens with the ISS? Can the other partners work together to boot out Russian participation? Is that even technically feasible?
Thanks for that detailed response.
ARGOS definitely feels more like an Enterprise / larger SMB product, unfortunately, I think this is mostly due to where people are really feeling "the need" for cloud security.
I had many conversations with smaller organisations / startups and most of them said that they could not spend money on something like cloud security (AV and Firewall was #1 spend in those conversations, very interesting) or sometimes even didn't believe that cloud security was a problem ("doesn't Microsoft/Amazon take care of this for me?").

So, as much as I'd like to help smaller organisations, it seems only at a certain size do people really recognise this as a problem.

What do you think? Also, what made the site "targeted at Enterprise" in your opinion?

Also, yes, ARGOS is, for now, only public cloud, no private cloud.

Thanks again.
OneWeb is/was lanuching with Arianespace. But Arianespace basically does not have any rocket anymore. A few Ariane 5 left with an uncertain Ariane 6 ramp-up, no more Soyuz, an probably very few complete Vega until Ukraine is back to work.
Thanks, I'll definitely look into that.
Caught between Mullahs & BJP, I am sure any sane Muslim will choose the BJP.

The only ones who hate BJP are also the Ashraf ones, who are worried about loosing their privileges.
And you could be trolling the internet trying to police any opposition to concepts, however ridiculous, that you find favourable to your philosophy.

The word cannot either have been misused as people have subsequently expended great energy defending its use.
Think of how you can make a verbal conscious decision to learn how to ride a bike. Then you get on a bike, and you make a verbal conscious decision to keep your arms stable. Even though you made the choice, your arms won't obey you the first time. Because stabilizing limbs rides the line between a conscious and subconscious activity. But you keep making that choice, and eventually your arms obey you. With more practice, your arms obey a choice you haven't made verbally or consciously. You're riding a bike so of course you want your arms to be stable.

The meaning of choice is not just the single incident of a conscious verbal decision. There's a meta choice, where a choice is made many times over many attempts, until the associated action becomes subconscious. That's the only way we can choose to drive, read, speak, ride a bike, swim, and so on.

This extends to emotions. You only know you're angry after you've become angry. It feels like anger comes from somewhere outside of your control. Yet you can still choose to not be angry, even though you already failed. The more you choose not to be angry the less angry you would be.

It also extends to thoughts. Harmless intrusive thoughts, or distracting useless thoughts, or painful thoughts, all of these pop in without choice. You can still practice exerting choice over a subconscious process you can't control. Even though thoughts come from no where, people who meditate often (pretty quickly too in my own case) exert control over that subconscious area and stop thoughts from even happening.
> You can't trust china to not manipulate it.

Rather you 'can* trust China to manipulate it when needed, they need the currency to serve specific macroeconomic policy decisions and they will use the levers on their power to achieve it, the fact that western speculators might get burned for it is not a core government interest at this time, maybe in the future
Don't think so. 60% of Russian big name military assets on the paper are stuck in Ukraine, and Belarus.

Stuck in the mud, forests, without food, fuel, and comms. Russia is already mobilising its reserves from all the way back as Vladivostok (7000km away,) which means they had a very, very, very serious, life-threatening reason to do so.

We can also conclude that Russia didn't commit its fancy new weapons to the assault, making the claim that most of them exist only on paper, and to appear on parades so more stronger.

The state or Russian military hasn't changed at large since the Second Chechnya War, except now they lack military veterans from Soviet era.

Russia is blessed by only having NATO as its only adversary, and this gives them ability to concentrate on Ukraine.

If we had a hostile to Russia regime at least in Belarus, Georgia, or Kazakhstan, they would've gone for landgrab in Russia WITHOUT HESITATION now given just how weak is the Russian conventional military. People die, and go, cities fall, and are built again, but borders stay for centuries. This would've been a once in a century opportunity for them.

Kazakhstan can return to being a nuclear state overnight if they capture Orenburg. 50% of Russian nuclear potential is a taxi ride away from Kazakhstan border.
Oh, this looks cool... oh it's from the same people who made Shovel Knight... almost to the fishing mini-game stretch goal... fine, shut up and take my money.
It's a cheeky reference to power grid cables on land having (negative) influence on the health of humans; and that being dismissed as "conspiracy theory."

Regardless, at a more practical level, sea creatures can't wear hats, tinfoil or otherwise.
People with OCD [0] should consider doing less meditation, IMO.

I find that meditation can lead me into rumination traps where I make no progress.

I sometimes have to set myself deadlines or checkpoints to make sure that I do not ruminate my way out of available time.

What I tend to need instead is breathing techniques to stay and cope within the moment, which I accept is like task-focussed micro-meditation in a way. But deliberate, long quiet meditation rarely helps me and it can make things worse.

[0] by which I mean the debilitating condition, not the pop-culture joke about pointing out pictures aren't straight or kerning on some signage is wrong
From the Arstechnica article posted above:

> Europe has no spare launch capacity, with all of its remaining Ariane 5 launches spoken for, and the Ariane 6 rocket is probably at least two years away from having operational capacity.
Not just the “TurboTax” lobby, but also a strong contingent of anti-tax conservatives. One of their approaches to gain sympathy to their cause is to keep making taxes hard. If taxes are hard, the general population will want less of them.
Unfortunately, Russia knows very, very well how to deal with this.

1. all citizens in the conquered territories will need a new id card. That card will be required everywhere. You want to send your kids to school, you need the card. You want to take a subway, you need the card. You want to buy groceries, use the ATM machine, the internet, pay your bills, make a phone call, you need your card.

2. the card will need to be re-validated periodically. At the time you need to make an attestation that you don't know the location of any hidden weapon, or any resistance fighter, or foreign agent, etc. The penalty for lying would be jail.

3. set up a system of informants. The rewards for information don't even have to be monetary, it could be: if you want your brother out of jail, you need to tell us 3 useful pieces of information. We decide what we consider to be useful.

How do I know Russia can do all these things? Because Russia (Soviet Union at the time) conquered my Eastern European country right after WW2, and the resistance was minimal. A country with millions of weapons (WW2 just ended), with forests, mountains, lots of places to hide. Well, guerilla warfare still requires you to eat. You can hide in a forest, but from time to time you need to go down to the village. If one person informs, you're finished.

You think Russia doesn't know how to do what the Soviet Union did in '45-'48? They lost the institutional memory? You haven't been paying attention. Putin is ex-KGB. As we speak, he's putting children (!!) in jail for going to a protest with their parents.

Why didn't this work in Afghanistan ? Because Afghanistan is quite different. People don't live in apartment buildings (well, some do, but most not). They know each other. Internet, subways, grocery stores, are nice, but not essential for many, many people. Informants work both ways. The reprisals from the resistance can be worse than those from the occupiers. Etc, etc. This is not racism. Afghani people are absolutely the same as Ukrainian people, or like me and you. They bleed just as much when you put a bullet in them, and dislike that just as much. But the bullet can come from more places. If the Ukrainian resistance were to have an iota of a chance of success, the resistance fighters should be willing to shoot their compatriots who inform on them. The Taliban were willing to do just that.
If it took a trending Hacker news post for them to respond, yeah no they don't have my respect at all.
Honestly, why go to war to prevent another contract, that can also be broken: that some men agree they'll defend each other's countries?
Your last sentence sparked some reflection for me. I would absolutely teleport somewhere for a team meeting rather than play Zoom Brady Bunch.

I would 100% do all my coding from home though, unless work returned to the “good old days” of offices with full walls and doors that closed.
r/worldnews is corrupt, and I'm sure you can find a metric fuckton of evidence if you care to look.

I saw a wildly popular but politically embarrassing* article there get wiped from the front page for "just being commentary / a blog post with no evidence", when it was actually a Coundcloud link to the politician's actual words.

The story was wiped. It is no longer searchable by either Reddit or Google search. This is a post consisting of direct evidence with zero commentary, of the utmost public interest, with 20 thousand upvotes or so. Just memory-holed completely with no appeal.

* The Irish Health Minister at the time, Simon Harris, was saying that "we're on Covid-19, so there's been 18 other coronaviruses" .... In fucking MAY of last year. THe Health Minister. And this was AFTER those talking heads in America were reamed for the same mistake.
Yes, the overheats seem strange, given the 8GB RAM and 250GB ssd. It overheats (up to 50C) and freezes generally when I have several browsers opened (incl. Tor) with dozens of tabs, a Windows 8 VM instance running (with or without active connection from there to a remote desktop) and an Audacious player active. But the last time it overheated was when I was installing Jupiter notebook and Anaconda, separately. According to psensor Linux app I use for monitoring, the max CPU load so far was 51%, for free memory - ~4%.
I was also advised to reinstall my current Ubuntu 20.04. Can it be this is due to Ubuntu issues?
Everything you wrote is correct. But still, if your product does not transparently show and alert such events, overall product quality is in my opinion bad. Dev or lead or product manager should not be ok with this. But this pretty mich reflects current state of software development. Errors and stuff are in way too many cases "ok" to occure.
