As someone who lives in a terminal, I find @junegunn’s “journal” markup format a lot more pleasing to the eyes than Markdown — holy kaleidoscopic colours, batman. Bonus: in a weird way, the colours of journal trained me to love lisp.

Indeed. Cell phones are by definition location tracking devices so data can be routed to the right place. Ukrainian mobile network operators should be able to figure out the exact movement of every single soldier carrying a regular phone, and selectively block service at opportune moments. More trivially, wouldn't they be using russian SIM cards?
Race is really easy to game, nobody will actually verify your ethnicity.
>But many these are private institutions. They can discriminate however they want.

Even private institutions are legally prevented from discriminating on the basis of protected class, such as race. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case against Harvard later this year to rule on just this, and there is a good chance the plaintiffs succeed in ending the practise of racial discrimination in college admissions.
I don’t think google maps info was ever close to 100% reliable anywhere. Once in midtown Toronto there was a giant hole where google maps said a bank was, they where building a condo there. I thought I’d be helpful and submit a correction to the map — I later got a notification my correction was not accepted and they kept the ghost bank there years after it was gone.

There’s also no way they could reasonably think I was a spammer because I had a decades old google account that existed within months of gmail existing. They probably know what I’ve eaten every day for the past 20 years.

That’s all to say, google is a giant machine, and if it decides your version of reality is wrong, don’t bother, no human on their side will probably ever look at it because humans are expensive.

Smalltalk blocks are a very elegant concept, but also expensive (i.e. a major reason for the comparatively low performance); all loops and conditions are essentially closure calls and inlining is difficult.

I implemented different versions of Smalltalk VMs and conducted measurements (see e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/som/#concluding-experiments). The same benchmark written in plain Lua compared to the SOM version (with just standard inlining) is more than factor seven faster.
Different topic. Essentially, it has now been stated that Zuckerberg illegally influenced the election.

That's pretty dumb idea, actually. Russians mostly use local sites. To get to them you need to use either mega-services that all the world uses like YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Google News or TikTok or post on those local sites directly.

Geofencing or network disconnects would turn liberal part of the population, that actually uses foreign sites inside the country, and thus knows the truth of the events already, against you instead, meaning you will actually _help_ Putin giving him more pretexts to use and supporters to rely on. If you aren't planning that in the first place, because it seems rather obvious if you think about it even a little.

Russia needs more unbridled Internet, not less.

I think @merek meant something like Google Ads (formerly Adwords) when they were talking about paid search. These are adverts that appear alongside Google results when you don't have an ad-blocker installed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Ads

They are probably more effective than Facebook because they are much more targeted. It does depend on your audience though, I don't know of anybody reasonably technical who doesn't have an ad-blocker installed so maybe not so useful for targeting those people.

I also found for my targeted keywords I had indirect competitors who could afford to outbid me because they were selling much higher value products. They could afford a much higher cost of acquisition because they were expecting a $10,000+ sale whereas my average was $250. Some of my peers also found competitors stuffed with VC money. They were willing to lose money on each transaction in the hope of making it up later.

Finally Google is a bit scammy when it comes to the whole Adwords control panel. They will introduce new features and select the option which enriches them rather than you. In particular be wary of broad match on keywords. Running a successful campaign requires a reasonable amount of diligence on your part.

Is studying hard really "gaming the system"? The rules are clear for everyone: learn the material and you will do well. The solution here seems simple: provide additional study support for people not named Smith. Unfortunately, most of the academic achievement gap is because of what happens in the home, and this is a place where lawmakers have been reluctant to intervene for obvious reasons. Lawmakers cannot force parents to prioritise studying or academic achievement, and while parents from certain demographics continue to show lower involvement and encouragement in their children's academic outcomes (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110505103345.h... - data here: https://www.bls.gov/tus/) the gap will persist.
> They don’t like the way unions leveraged a pandemic to put their members’ interests ahead of the children’s.

This seems like a cheap shot. I assume the article is mentioning teacher’s unions, which should logically prioritize the teacher’s interests over children’s. Don’t they exist to advocate for teachers and not students by definition?
I skimmed the paper, so I'm not sure I got this right, but my understanding is the following:

1. pick a random direction

2. compute the derivative along that direction using forward-mode differentiation

3. update the parameters along that direction based on the derivative

The idea being that this gives an unbiased (albeit noisy) approximation of the actual gradient. You thus need a smaller learning rate, but you also need less memory and computation and, net net, they argue it's a win. Is this correct?
Unifi: Fraggattack fixes are GA on all UAP platforms currently
For professional development work, I’ve been using a MacBook for years. Our company issued Dell windows laptops prior but due to the restrictions all large companies love to roll out, getting a functional dev environment going was next to impossible. Macs bring most if the power of a ‘real’ unix environment to something that can be mostly fleet managed, which is something no Linux distro I’ve seen has found a widespread reputation for being so. So, given the choice of realistically Mac or Windows in the enterprise space, I’ll pick Mac every time.
> John Mearsheimer lecture 'Why is Ukraine the West's Fault?' [1], which got about another 2m views in the last 48 hours.

Yeah, I've seen linked all over the 'Net in the last week. Overwhelmingly predominantly by raging pro-Putler trolls, so you'll forgive me if referring to it doesn't exactly increase your standing in my eyes.

> Mearsheimer's narrative depicts a cornered Russia determined to make Ukraine so politically toxic and disrupted that it would cease to qualify for NATO membership.

Heh, guess I'll have to watch it, after all... But, judging from your summation here for now: So that means it's only "the West's fault" in the sense that they didn't immediately accept Ukraine into NATO back when they applied, right?

Arsehole dictators don't understand "soft-power" reasoning and pleading; they need to be faced with fait accompli.
A lot of fun! What might also be fun is if you could hold space / mouse 1 to «charge» the jump so that you jump higher if you hold.
In the system's file explorer (Finder/Windows File Explorer).

This would give me a visual outline and the ability to open any file with its corresponding app.

it's even not something that is applied. it's companies that decide to do it by themselves.

the most tragic part it's that majority of population in russia have no clue what is happening and where they will be in a few months, economy wise. it's full blown 1984 .

and what is scarier, it's that part of population cheering it. because it will allow them to become independent from west and self sustainable
It is worth it to invade a country that has no nuclear deterrent. The reason Russia will not invade a NATO country is that it would cause mutually assured destruction, or more specifically the Nash equilibrium in the case where both countries are nuclear powers.

It’s why China doesn’t invade Pakistan or India, aside from small skirmishes that are in borderlands that are effectively proxy wars.
Many people have built a career around JS, and are unhappy when their holy cow is considered a future hamburger.

JS has its uses. The majority of UI elements should not involve JS though. Unfortunately, UI also provides low-hanging fruit for beginner-level JS developers to tangle with.
I'm extremely sceptical too - but it's pretty much well known by now that they intended to do a 'special operation' - lasting 2-3 days and hoping for Ukraine to surrender. Didn't really happened that way.

Also, Chinese media don't show any images of war as far as I know (just reading Global Times from time to time to have an opinion from 'the other side')
I've seen online Word become extremely slow even for small documents with a few editors.

Joint Statement by the International Governing Bodies of Tennis
Honestly it's really nice to see the support given to the Ukraine by Google, but I cannot help myself and notice some big inconsistencies in the response to the war in the Ukraine by Western institutions and the wars in conducted in the Middle East.

The USA has invaded several sovereign nations, tortured innocent people, murdered innocent children, on false accusations such as "mass destruction weapons" and many other falsehoods. They were never banned from SWIFT, never boycotted from sport events, never contracts cancelled.

The .NET Foundation for example has two banners on their website (1), one in support of Black Lives Matters and one in support of the Ukraine. Two great initiatives, but where are the banners for Muslim lives? Where is the banner in support of Syria, Afghanistan and a handful other countries which have been devastated by Americans?

The truth is, once a company decides to become political on one matter then the silence on anther matter also becomes a statement. This is why we had the wisdom of not being political at work for so long for a good reason. Now it is pretty clear that the .NET Foundation or Google simply don't care about Syrian refugees or Muslim children being murdered and in fact it almost seems like they were in support of those actions, otherwise they would have shown equal support recently.

All of this makes me realise how much we get brainwashed in the West. There is no objective way to explain these hypocrisies.

> Often having darker skin, Black Americans are even prone to more discrimination domestically. Any editorial that doesn't recognize that fact as a truth has no legs to stand on in my opinion.

Nigerian immigrants outperform most domestic US groups. So clearly "skin color" isn't the main factor (if at all).
Are you sure? The closed form solution can be evaluated in logarithmic time whereas counting up takes linear time.
Income and wealth are better predictors of “privilege” than race though.

So one is using a worse indicator.

Using a mix of income and wealth over several years to me is an appropriate indicator and cannot be easily gamed.

The fact that Will Smiths kids get a better chance to get into college than a similar applicant from a first generation immigrant family from Vietnam shows how broken race as an indicator can be.

For those of you like me who thought there should not be a period after the S,

According to

https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/education/trivia/use-of-period...

> The evidence provided by Mr. Truman's own practice argues strongly for the use of the period. While, as many people do, Mr. Truman often ran the letters in his signature together in a single stroke, the archives of the Harry S. Truman Library have numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Mr. Truman's lifetime where his use of a period after the "S" is very obvious.

> They did, in 2014 their democratically elected president chose to stop/delay EU talks because it would cost the country much more at the time (Russia was giving them 1/3 price for the gas and much more money than EU wanted to give). Then Maidan happened and the rest is history.

Sounds like he severely misread the room, turned dictator in the people's eyes for wanting to sell out their freedom for thirty pieces of silver, and was deposed in a revolution. You know, like sometimes happens (and sometimes not) when democratically elected leaders turn dictator.

> If you had a bully in a classroom, you would not go around provoke him, you would try to live with him even though you don't like him.

Maybe you wouldn't. But that never works in the long run; sooner or later someone has to give the bully his comeuppance. Better sooner than later.

Exactly this, you get access to a dedicated target audience at a really competitive price point. I think a lot of small podcasts/newsletters will happily accept 100 euros for a small slice in their media. Add some artificial urgency, such as "sign up now with code X you get a Y% discount". FOMO is powerful.

Depending on the nature of the product it might be worth getting somebody to do an (honest) paid review of it. It both gives you an impression of how somebody is interacting with your product and gives you exposure to their audience.

Either this or rethink your packaging entirely. If it's pay to play, consider having a free tier. Make sure you are only charging your proper rates to those fully invested in your product.
Defy Trends | Remote | Miami | Munich, Germany | Multiple Engineering Roles | Data-first | https://www.defytrends.io/

Defy Trends is a Miami-based and fast-growing startup in the crypto space. You can think of our platform as a simplified ‘Bloomberg terminal’ for crypto. We are a toolkit that aggregates millions of data points into digestible, bite-size indicators that allow you to get a holistic view of the market, all in one place. We do B2C and B2B.

Our team is distributed throughout the world and is mainly operating remotely. We're currently getting our headquarter running in Miami, with offices in the Bay Area and Munich, Germany. Many people prefer remote work and excel at it, therefore we intend to keep remote-first teams.

Since we only recently transitioned from our prototype/beta phase, we are still building out the system. Therefore, you can actively shape how our core system and tech stack looks, works and grows. Time to build!

Just some tech buzzwords so people can find themselves somewhere in there. This is by far not an exhaustive list and should give a glimpse in what tech we use/might use and what other experience seems fitting. Positions are primarily targeted at people at least Senior.

* Data Engineer: Kafka, AWS, Lambda, RabbitMq, Python (Scala, Java)

* Backend Engineer: Python, Django, FastAPI (Ruby, Rails, PHP, Laravel, Erlang, Elixir, Node, Go, Rust)

* Frontend Engineer: React (Typescript, D3, Angular, Vue, Vanilla JS, yeah ... all the other js-stuff)

* Data Scientist: Time series analysis, Python, Numpy, Pandas, Jupyter (maybe the only role where I think a formal education would be nice, but proof me wrong)

* Machine Learning Engineer: Backtesting, Modelling, Python (MLOps, NLP, Sklearn, PyTorch)

* Cloud Engineer: Docker, AWS, EC2, Terraform (Heroku, Digital Ocean, GCP, Azure)

* Database Engineer: Postgres, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse (SQL, Influx, Snowflake)

* DevOps Engineer: Kubernetes, Terraform, Bash (Jenkins, Circle.ci, GH Actions)

In summary: We are actually looking for people who either own their respective domain (e.g. Ops guy who has written k8s himself in bash) or can perform mostly across the entire stack (give me rails/django and I can get a SAAS up and running in no time). The point is, we want people who really love being great in whatever they enjoy doing. Who don't hesitate to take responsibility and make decisions (chances are that you do know YOUR tech better than anyone else in a small team; go for it).

You found yourself somewhere in there? Then drop me a mail at sebastian at defytrends dot tech
> I've heard macros slow for largely the same reason, it's not the macro execution itself that's slow, it's compiling all the generated code.

It's written history. If you know Russian, just read chronicles.

> This is an ideologically-motivated delusion, more or less on the level of the Indians who are willing to claim that the Aryans were indigenous to the subcontinent while ignoring the linguistic and genetic evidence. Russia refers to the Rus in the same way that France refers to the Franks and Serbia refers to the Serbs.

Ideologically motivated delusion for Russian Empire was to be descendants of Rome Empire via Byzantine and Russia (Ukraine). No Emperor of the time wanted to draw their line from a bunch of bastards of unknown origin, which did raids on neighborhoods. The town of Russia moved up of the Russia (now Porussia) river, but it is still present on the map.

Russia is not a Slavic word, so you cannot draw such parallels. When Russians captured Kyїv (Oleg of Novgorod killed Ascold and Dir, Slavic rulers of Kyїv, in 882), Russians declared Kyїv as mother for Russian cities, but Russian were assimilated by Slavs, so they forgot their native language and started to use Slavic language, so, with time, name of their country was changed according to rules of Slavic language.

Never had any issue with WSL. However with WSL2 the fact that it uses hardware VT-x/HyperV is a big no from me, since that means VMs and WSL don’t play nicely. WSL1 albeit not full Linux kernel has been going pretty well for me however, as I mostly do C++ work.
