I'm not worried about Go in the slightest, and based on your other comment it sounds like we share somewhat of the same opinion on overuse of Rust so I will apologize for jumping the gun. But most of these userland uses of Rust are stupid and the parts people believe they need Rust for will be eaten up by eBPF anyway. Kernel development you still need a stable ABI, and while I already said I think Rust makes sense for drivers/FS (using bypass or as a module) or system internals it's not yet a good language for a full operating system unless you're willing to write the entire distribution in Rust.
People still have a bad taste in their mouth for GC and I get it. But these aren't the early years of Java. Google has some of the best mm minds money can buy and most people aren't going to outplay them at their own game.
I would also argue that using Go for systems programming is also stupid. Setting up freestanding Go is a PITA and again, no stable ABI, nothing in the language that makes it particularly better than long standing systems languages or a language that is actually innovating in the area (Rust).
People say pick the right tool for the job but that's just salesman talk for use the tool that seems the coolest that management will let us use.
Let's see. The current BRICS group of countries (I don't think you can call them a "coalition" and I feel India is a bit ashamed to be there with Russia now, but they depend on Russian shipments of weapons) can set up any payment system they want to exchange products between themselves. However, setting up such a system takes time and expertise, and as it would work between just these countries, its usefulness would be very limited - for now, the only beneficent would be Russia. But in any case, they would need to agree on a currency, and for sure it wouldn't be the RUB. Using yuans would make things for China quite complicated. And the current situation makes it crystal clear starting a war with another country may put your country in a deplorable position almost immediately. That's a good thing.
Rogozin doesn't have the authority to say what can or cannot be used to justify war, does he?

> Well it looks like GDPR has banned CDNs.

No, the GDPR has banned third-party CDNs subject to US jurisdiction.
I've been trying to game this out. The only logical explanation is that Putin has spent the last 20 years installing nuclear dead-man switches for himself across Russia, and has taken the entire populace as hostage. Nothing else really explains it. The amount of backlash and isolation Russia is receiving would be enough to incite a coup otherwise. I'm sure that everyone in his inner circle is made well aware of the dead-man switch, and anyone who even thinks about opening their mouth about it ends up falling from a window.
People's response times go to shit as they get older. Games without some kind of affordances for that (or just difficulty settings) are much, much harder for older folks than they were intended to be.
> It’s a minority of mostly white progressives pushing this stuff.

I think if you look a little closer you'll find that many members of that "white" minority are in fact not White (or Hispanic, Black, or Asian.)

About me:
I am a full-stack web developer (React, Typescript, Node.js) and ex-founder (built 2 startups in SaaS and health-tech).

I have over 6 years of experience in building and shipping end-to-end products. I have worked for big tech companies and startups, gaining a broad range of experiences. During my time as a founder, I gained a broad range of experiences in building products from scratch, system design, recruiting and leading teams, fundraising, etc. That helped me become a multifaceted engineer.

Potential roles I'm interested in:

Senior Full-stack / Front-end (React) dev / Tech lead
If a computer is a machine that helps me compute, then I'd argue an electronic calculator fits the definition regardless of the century:

I'd be inclined, though, to exclude "non machine" counting tools such as an abacus.
That's correct. Sberbank Europe is registered as an Austrian bank, so the Austrian equivalent of the FDIC has to cover deposits of up to 100K per client.
You can't embed material that's loaded from servers that'll strack you, correct.

Which is why many German news sites hide all twitter/facebook embeds and instead show a placeholder. Only once you click "embed content from ..." on that placeholder will the actual embed be loaded.

Plain links on the other hand are fine.
I agree.

I need function keys, essentially I do not get the trend towards micro-sized keyboards - I want more keys, not less.
I live in Southwest US where it’s common to use a swamp cooler (aka evaporative cooler) for your house. Instead of the normal refrigerated air unit that sits outside your house, there is basically a box with a big fan that pulls air across a big wooden or synthetic “sponge” and pushes it into your house ducts. A small pump like in a fish tank continuously pulls water across the sponge to keep it wet. You leave a couple windows in your house cracked open to leave an exit as new cold air is pushed in. Has a nice humidifying effect which is good in the desert too!
The sticky was hard to figure out. You have to scroll down in the example frame, but the scroll bar is hidden and there's no indication of more content.

Literally every belligerent in WW2 did that?
It's not just American companies, though; African, Australian, Canadian, Mexican and Russian companies have the exact same restrictions. The general rule is "privacy enforcement and protections must be as good or better than the EU's".

It's possible for a country to get certification from the EU that the privacy protections of said country are strong enough. When that happens (see the failed Privacy Shield and friends for an example), you can let companies from those countries process PII if there are significant protections built into the contract (say, a huge fine to you if they mess up and leak the data of your customers, as the EU cannot impose their own fines as easily).

From what I can tell, the contracts and DPAs most American cloud providers eagerly send you are good enough to satisfy this constraint if the companies weren't subject to American law.
I suspect so. Maybe justifiably so.

Congrats -- great post, new health insurance options are much needed! How did you assemble your provider network and how do major hospital options compare to other major carriers (eg. BCBS Texas PPO)? Does this EPO plan offer any out of network / outside of Dallas coverage? What is your target employee demographic? How has your experience been getting brokers to distribute this new plan?
You probably don't have to do anything. I am of the opinion that blocking EU traffic potentially increases your exposure to GDPR, but this is not settled law.

GDPR's territorial scope applies to international Controllers who are "targeting" EU residents. According to Recital 23, merely having a website doesn't qualify. There needs to be additional evidence that you are attempting to attract an EU audience. E.g. when selling goods, offering Euro as a currency.

Blocking EU traffic means that you are specifically envision EU residents visiting your site. And blocking traffic from them is a type of data processing. IANAL, don't take advice from randos on the Internet, but if you're just some website then blocking EU visitors might be more trouble than it's worth.

In either case, no DPA is going to give a shit about you.

I see, so a customer would be paying you to use use their own providers? Not sure I see the value in that, but good luck.
I wish there more "cool" split keyboard options out there.

I can't type on an inline keyboard like this without wrist issues for any significant amount of time.
Garry Kasparov on Putin’s End Game
Interesting interview and perspective.
That’s also bad imo.

People shouldn’t be treated better or worse just because their country has more or fewer immigrants.
At least until you reach a certain size.
Lots of awesome tips here. Thanks for sharing.

Really interesting to see how you go about researching video topics.

And also to see an example of how long it can take for videos, especially on a new channel, to gain traction. "300 views after 250 days... but then over the next 250 days the video had over 25,000 views" :mindblown:
At this point most articles like this or tools addressing the problem discussed here replace one local optima with another, I'm holding out for something radically different, maybe something like makepad or bevy like ECS with good support for UI.
SPAs were not a mistake, SPAs were an attempt to make the front end work like front ends have ALWAYS worked.

Back before the web people made C++ and VB user interfaces that interact directly with the data source. SPAs are an attempt to make the web closer to that well known paradigm. POST REDIRECT REFRESH cycle was an insane programming paradigm that wasn't found in any previous edition of programming.
Nice! We have made a Google Analytics alternative (getinsights.io) which is not linked there. Servers are still in the US unfortunately, although none of the data from the analytics is sent there. I'll create a PR to add it as an alternative if that's okay.
Why should the west critique him? Isn't it up the the Ukrainians to critique? So far I see very little of that.
Completely agree this could be high effort on Kytch’s part. I mean launching a successful business is super high effort too, so there’s already evidence they’re up for a high effort long term play.

I guess it’s not up to us to define what an “actual” pivot can look like. Certainly switching to a legal strategy is in fact a pivot from product development and traction metrics.

This new strategy doesn’t seem crazy to me, having tried to launch a business myself. I agree it’s a moon-shot, but again, it’s plausible that they do have a leg to stand on here due to the history of problems these machines have.

* edit BTW, I’d speculate wildly that there’s a very good chance Kytch was fully aware of the legal dangers of their plan, and went into the product development phase with eyes wide open in the first place. In addition to their plausible chances for success here, it’s also plausible that this legal fight was the expected outcome of their plan, and part of its design, long before it happened.
Yes, it does include the standard library.
Github Flavored Markdown (GFM) is almost a de facto standard nowadays.
There was another thread related to this one that recommended Njalla. I checked it out. Looks very promising. Already in the process of transferring my domain there from Namecheap.

In a nutshell: they act as the "domain owner" on your behalf, that way all the registration that's passed above them has nothing to do with you specifically. However, their contract to you says that you still fully own that TLD, so it's not like you surrender it to them. "Whois" should not return your personal information. Super cool. Also, pay with crypto is a big bonus.
That’s probably fair, though even rich black people have to deal with discrimination that rich white people don’t.
Well, they were mostly produced in the 199th decade, and it is now the 203rd decade. You don't have to last four decades to "last for decades".
"I'd prefer we removed the sources of inequity. Do that and equality works itself out (in theory, anyways).
...
I'm not sure about language and income policies, but at the same time, fixing those sources of inequity are massively complex and outside the scope of the school board."

I agree that the main drivers of inequity in education are huge and mostly driven outside the schools. I think the schools need to act mostly on equal treatment and stay out of equity. We can remove things like admission fees (which I also think is wrong for public schools the charge) without adding equity focused subjective measures. After all, the simple fact of having advanced placement or high achievement courses is inequitable (and I don't think there's anything wrong with that).

Why not start by removing the fees and standardized tests, then see how that works before implementing the more controversial subjective and class based changes? This sort of change would retain equality while reducing inequity. That's what I would like to see more of.

"I wish I could find the actual policy WRT language/income/school, implementation is key here."

I agree that we are lacking some details here. It seems the court ruled that the steps were illegal, and that the school doesn't even hide that the changes made were to adjust racial balance. That's pretty damning, but I would like to see the actual contents.

“Emails and text messages between Board members and high-ranking [Fairfax school] officials leave no material dispute that, at least in part, the purpose of the Board’s admissions overhaul was to change the racial makeup to TJ to the detriment of Asian-Americans.”
I would say if you want to understand someone (especially in geopolitical power play) you better align your model of that entity to reflect his/her world view. That is precisely the diplomacy mistake (to ignore to discuss someone else's interests, especially since they were communicated and signaled for many years) "west" has been making in this conflict as Prof. Mearsheimer says.

I do not think there are any assumptions about agency or not of other players. They have also stakes, but are not of strategic importance to the stronger guys.

For instance, Austria and Germany has been aggressively pressuring Czech Rep. to close down it nuclear reactor based on nothing but ideology (which basically to make CZ utterly dependent energetically on the mercy and availability of neighboors--who by the way get richer by that). Same with Poland's coal mine -- for which it has been ordered to pay milions Eur. a day just to have hospitals and essential infrastructure running. How can they decide if we (each individual country) is so free and can do what we wish. We are not in fact and thats why economic sanctions (wars) and diplomacy pressures work in general. Countries are not independent, and contrary to popular academic idea, in practice you (as a weaker country) will be pressured to the will (ideological, economic, etc) by the stronger neighbor. Sometimes these interests may align and be productive, many times they will not be. But denying this reality is wishful thinking.

In the EU, most video embeds I find now have an interstitial popup you have to click for the video to actually load.
AppImages are so good. They 'just work'. They're super easy to build and distribute too. I think more Linux distributions should embrace them as the de-facto app standard to replace snap and flatpak.

Attachment styles.

We can get into frankly interesting philosophy and literature studies, and reflect on the downsides of our evolving social order.

But there's also empirical evidence that attachment styles are stable across the human lifespan, from birth, shifting only gradually in response to our own decisions and experiences.

The author is a textbook case of an anxious attacher relating with an avoidant attacher.

The beauty of empirical science is that it can greatly simplify that which we might otherwise struggle our whole lives with. I hope the author finds and attunes herself to a secure attacher and moves on to more novel problems.
Anyone buying most anything from Belarus or Russia is funding Russia's war effort.

Saudi Arabia refusing to release more oil into global supply keeps prices high and indirectly results in Russia profiting more from each petrol sale.

Europeans buying energy from Russia are helping Russia pay to bomb Ukrainians.

It doesn't matter what is intended. The effect is it helps Russia fund this and future operations.
But there is already war. What else needs to be justified? And yes, as the other person has said, Rogozin has a big mouth. Russia does propaganda trying to scare everyone into silence, that is what this is about.

The alternative format (used by the Internet Archive and Wayback Machine) is WARC. It's also a single file, but it's preserving the HTTP headers as well; so its applications is specifically for archival purposes. [1] The "wget" tool which is co-maintained by the Web Archive people also has support for it via CLI flags.

Though when it comes to mobile browser support I'd recommend to use MHTML, because webkit and chromium both have support for it upstream.

He may not be able to declare it, but he can certainly say it. Whether it's truthful or not is another matter. He could be publicly stating policy (in which case his statement would be truthful, but not based on his authority) or blustering (in which case it's false).
Over the years we have evolved the meaning of computer from something that calculates or reckons to a electronic device that runs software. In reality any black box that has a one-to-one relationship between inputs and outputs can be considered a computer.

It might be easier to think of mechanical computers, such as the WW2 fire control computers aboard Navy Ships[0] or more famously the Antikythera mechanism[1]. These are fixed devices, they compute values from inputs. The "program" is stored in the gears camshafts and differentials and ratios between them.

Similarly, fixed digital computers such as the Nimatron have their operations stored in relays and digital logic. These sorts of computers don't have a list of instructions. They just have schematics, inputs going through electronic circuits that wind up at outputs. You can do a lot of calculating with just simple logic gates.

> Nobody is suggesting you go through all of your photos, transcribe your emotional reaction to each picture, and then delete the image. But, if you want to view those same photos when you're fifty years old, or seventy-five, you're better off storing them as a JPEG than a PSD, and you're better off storing them on a hard drive you have access to in addition to whatever cloud they're currently occupying.

OTOH there are many photos I have, taken a decade or two ago, where I wish I'd written down my thoughts and reactions at the time, rather than just taken the picture. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but just having lots of pictures and no contemporaneous words, leaves more of a gap the longer ago it was.
I've argued this stance once before, but I feel it needs reiterating on this topic: I for one am 100% convinced that whatever the (FOSS) software future has in store for the world MUST have strong support for dynamic linking.

If you look at something like `apt-cache show podman | grep ^Built-Using:` (Output: https://paste.debian.net/plain/1225449) on Debian 11, you will see why. Imagine a few of those components shared between tens of packages, and security problems discovered im some. It's got to be any package maintainer's worst nightmare. "Traditional" distros run by volunteers and in participation of small-ish companies will not be able to cope with that kind of need for rebuild churn - and yet they will live amongst us for many years, if not decades, to come.

Yeah but you can get an antibody test to verify. I did this when I suspected I had COVID but no access to testing at the time and many months later still had antibodies.

Would an antibody test be valid enough to accept infection-acquired immunity?

Dunno. Recently, I had good luck with AGPL dual-license models. Most competitors wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot-pole. At the same time, we could build a contributor community. It cut off some sales, but build far, far more.

I've seen other organizations do well with cloud hosting or support models. There are plenty of open source unicorn companies doing those sorts of things. Highest-margin "price doesn't matter" contracts will generally go to the author of a tool.

It really depends on the business plan. I've been pretty successful with both open and closed source models, and in retrospect, I think they wouldn't have worked swapped around.

The logic you're giving doesn't really make sense: "We just don't have the luxury of VC money where we can open source and worry about making money later." or "Our compromise is that we are open sourcing anything that is not the core of the application for now. If we have enterprise / cloud features down the line, we will open source the core."

Open source has significant business upsides. For example:

- If I'm buying from a small startup, open source reduces the risk of what happens when the startup goes under, or if a business goes Oracle and decides to take advantage of me once they have lock-in.

- It builds ecosystems, networks, traction, visibility, and distribution. For small companies, those are hard problems.

- It allows external contributions. Conversely, on the customer side, if a vendor won't fix a bug, I can.

- On the customer side, it gives me transparency into roadmaps and development.

Right now, I'm now at a big company, and I generally tend to buy open source. The build-versus-buy decision is purely economic, and economics usually goes towards "buy." Open-source gives most of the advantages of "build."

The relative cost/value of those is an analysis that depends on your specific business model. Making the decision otherwise -- pretending open-source is some kind of charity -- is bad business.
