The Taliban got demonized by the US 20 years ago but they were not "pursuing political outcomes" - the relevant definition of terrorist - as they had already achieved them. Just because we don't like them or respect them doesn't mean we can warp the definition of terrorist to include them, the US' mission was only to ensure that Al Queda was not leveraging Taliban military infrastructure. Obviously we know that any superpower saying "we're just targeting military" is bullshit. But it happened there too, and then the scope increased to ousting the Taliban and it failed.
It's not so much cold feet as it is confusing to them. e.g.

"Wait, so they're hourly, not full-time?"

"They bill hourly, but they will put in between 30 and 40 hours of work each week, which is about what you'd expect from most full-time employees"
I meant specifically, besides rewriting the instruction decode unit, and maybe tweaking the memory access to meet some technicalities, what would be involved to taking the M1 and making it support a different instruction set.

I thought about that too, and decided that it's not significant.

That pipeline ends on the north coast of Germany. Its customers will have to be in 10-20 countries surrounding Germany, and energy sources are long-term decisions made by boards of directors rather than mid-level managers. Consider the next five years. Which energy company board in those countries is going to discuss two suggested investment plans, one that involves Gazprom and one that involves anything else, and pick Gazprom over an alternative?
I think a lot of this is not really under anyone's control; every country -esp those not under a strongman/autocrat, wants Western style benefits and democracy; if Russia wasn't going to provide it (since their modernization seems to have stalled), then the natural drift was going to be westward.

From what I know of Armenia from my colleagues, that same drift is happening there.
SEEKING WORK | NYC | Remote OK

10 years as a dev and eng manager at startups and Oracle. Take a look at notes.eatonphil.com and github.com/eatonphil please. If you still need a resume I can send one.

Email phil@multiprocess.io.

I'm looking for at most 20 hours a week so I can continue working on my company, multiprocess.io. I am building github.com/multiprocessio/datastation and github.com/multiprocessio/dsq in public and they are used by a number of developers.

I host a hacker Discord and a monthly virtual Meetup to expose devs to internals of compilers, databases, emulators, browsers, operating systems, etc.

Besides the multiprocess work, I have a numerous public Github projects and, fun fact, 10 of my technical blog posts were on the front of HN last year.

I'd be particularly excited to help you out with your internally-developed compilers/interpreters/databases. But I'm also happy to help out with business applications.
Microsoft doesn't use security questions. IIUC then, your complaints are about Mojang's pre-Microsoft system. Then, would you consider this announcement a net positive, as it resolves the issues you described?
I'll address your points one by one. First off, programming does not involve that much typing, even technical writing is very doable with normal qwerty at 100wpm or so. You only see people using chorded keyboards in fields that involve typing with very little thinking, such as court stenographers. Typing is not the bottleneck for most of us.

As for discussing and buying exotic stuff - that is a vocal minority of engineers. You do not need a fancy mechanical keyboard or 10 years of VIM experience to do your job. Very few people 3D print their own keyboards!

Finally, unlike dvorak or colemak (which are pretty rarely adopted in themselves), tiling window managers or any other form of 'opinionated optimisation' - these things require hardware. They're in the same category as vertical mice. No matter how much better they are, it's going to take a lot more effort to a) buy the hardware and b) insist on having the hardware with you everywhere you go. For most people in most configurations, that bar is too high.

I didn't see you mention RSI or other wrist problems. The one way chorded keyboards might become popular is if we have a large number of engineers end up with severe wrist problems in the course of their normal job. Then you'd definitely see a surge in interest for alternate typing methods. But so far it seems only a minority of engineers end up with these problems.

There should be more diverse topics. I don’t like being shilled makeup, soccer and crypto 1000x every day.
Another thing on the contractor note. I just got off the phone with a company that refused to consider me for a position because everyone is required to have a Bachelor's degree. This was after being recruited and referred by a VP after working for them as a contractor for over a year. These big corps keep burning bridges.
This seems to happen a lot during the first ~5 days or so of buying a new iPhone. You get prompted for Apple ID login every few hours and sometimes repeatedly in quick succession. Maddening.
Something I'm struggling to implement at the moment is image carousels. I don't necessarily need something that has full functionality without JavaScript, but it would be nice to provide some kind of progressive enhancement, and make something that works both on desktop and mobile.
Google docs input handling is terrible. It still doesn’t properly handle long presses to select accented characters on Mac, but at least you get to see where the hidden input field is located.
So they've gone from technology experiments to... uh, technology experiments?

I'm not being snarky: how is this different/better?
Oh definitely for sure, and this is what will transform Ukraine from a place that people once called "the Ukraine" because they considered it a border region, into a unquestionably great nation. If Zelensky had fled and the Ukrainian army disbanded there maybe would have been less bloodshed (initially, the Russians would likely have executed plenty of Ukrainians anyway), but it would have been the end of Ukraine as a nation forever.
This allows various crime overlords to stay in power by ordering underlings outside to do their bidding. There's a good reason why phones are not allowed in prison and why phone calls to the outside are monitored, otherwise it would just be a vacation home you can't leave.
It's telling that people are not calling for kicking Saudi Arabia off of SWIFT. Or explaining how NATO has been used to bully and attack weaker countries. Iraq comes to mind.

Maybe you failed to understand the issue, let me explain it clear: I run Linux, I bought Minecraft from Mojang but now it is owned by Microsoft. Also MS bough a lot of game development studios so many games are now owned by Microsoft.
Since they said they drop the .com after, the only thing I could think of is that they gave a top level domain and can just mail directly to it. For example alex@arpa

This looks way better than before! Font sizes and layout have improved a lot.
It's the mentality. Contractors are viewed as expendable...in more ways than one.
Alex Jones also predicted when the war would happen on a video posted October 2021 [1] He is supposed to have intelligence contacts, so maybe it was more or less a known outcome in those circles.

I remember walking away from that film thinking Bruce Willis would need something to rescue his career.

And my goodness, didn't he luck out with RED and Moonrise Kingdom.
In this competitive market, you are likely paying them market plus equity for top talent. EU is less competitive, but you should be paying market or below market if you are augmenting with extra equity.
Nukes were present in 1990, there was no opportunity.

Just to clarify, I'm not from Russia, neither I support this war. But I don't think that West is innocent and wouldn't take a chance to destroy Russia at the first possibility.

By destroying I don't necessary mean physical destruction. Disarming, separate regions into different countries (divide and conquer), convert those into little harmless countries depending on West with everything. That still destruction in my book.
> Highly conventional, opinionated systems have a higher learning curve but yield a more consistent result given developers with inconsistent skill levels

This is highly debatable. A lot of conventional and opinionated systems have lots of under-the-hood magic that make it hard to reason about, even for experienced developers.
Do you have an email address I can reach out to you at?
This is an odd take. I was in Afghanistan for a total of a year. The Taliban courts that you're talking about executed a woman for having two forced relationships between two rival men, they would extract young men from their homes and make them into forced fighters, they enslaved local populaces for poppy season, just to name a few. Kidnapping and ransom is like a side business to them.
two feedbacks:

the landing page is mostly useless to me, I need an extra click to get to reference and guides. It's like a status page used for home page, the search can be on the top-right corner of each reference|guide page instead. Yes just go directly to reference|guide, why not?

on reference and guide pages, I hope there is a left and right arrow at both sides of each content page so I don't need scroll all the way down to the bottom then click on that small prev and next button to turn pages.

If Russian elections are not free and fair (which they likely aren't), and the Russian people are not revolting or leaving, they are complicit in the outcomes anyway.
I feels like opening your mouth so someone can check your teeth.
I feel your pain. I've fought against this before.

I think it's because of the salary level - like HR/management cannot get their heads around paying someone who doesn't have a degree the kind of salary that developers get these days.
NO

It does not matter that they are 'merely performing "typical state administrative functions". The great accolade for Mussolini was that he kept the trains running on time.

Dealing with such people is a losing game - they always deceive and always take more until stopped.

The only proper response to authoritarians, despots, fascists etc. was provided by the Snake Island garrison to the Russian destroyer: "Go F*k Yourselves".

And the same goes for apologist-type responses like yours.

If you have not figured this out from this week's events, you need to seriously rethink your life.
It's not just accounting, it speaks directly to the incentives of the founders & execs and their commitment to the long term success and growth of the company.
Isn't Imgtec doing that?
For me, backlit keys on a laptop is nice because I'll use a laptop in a dark environment and they layout isn't the same as my desktop keyboard so my touch typing isn't always 100%.

When I'm at my desktop, the room is always brightly lit.

My rant was directed at desktop keyboards that have customizable LEDs. They come with custom software that let you specify the colors on each individual key. And yes, the colors can change based on your current layer.

I was lamenting the cost associated with engineering the LEDs into the keyboard's circuit, and the cost of writing the custom software UI and embedded software on the keyboard to control the LEDs.

I read a bit more about the company Dygma. It appears they started as a gaming keyboard company, and are now entering the ergonomics market. It makes more sense now why they included the LEDs. They have already written the software UI and have the engineering experience.

My personal keyboard is a Kinesis Freestyle Pro. It's a huge improvement from my Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard, but it doesn't completely cure my RSI. The only total cure I've found for that is to not type for a living :( . I've tried a lot ... although I haven't tried diet adjustment yet.

The UI looks very similar to Mermaid and Excalidraw? What value does HackerDraw add on top of those services?
I bet you don't display the 120k players at once on the front, you use some sort of virtualised component (like ag-grid) thats put in the DOM only what is displayed on screen, and keep the whole set in memory.

It cause an issue: now the search in document browser feature will not work properly.

This is acceptable the usecase you are describing(due to the huge dataset), but a lot of interfaces use such virtual list, and it's an PITA for the user.

Take Azure DevOps for example: In a lot of place, you can't ctrl+f a project outside the screen, even if it exist, you have to scroll to it.

> Rendering a page server-side [...]

Nobody talked about server side rendering there.

> The virtual DOM is extremely efficient

Did you read the article I linked ?

The virtual DOM is not "extremely efficient" it's only good at removing uneeded DOM modifications. Not doing these uneeded modifications in the first place is faster.
I've been running a server for 11 years now. It was always in online mode as well, I didn't want to hurt some indie studio and most importantly, it made banning griefers manageable.

I've already looked into how I can run the server in "mixed mode" so in addition to still allowing registered players in just as before, I can create a separate login process for arbitrary players that use a modified launcher that doesn't talk to MS servers. Probably gonna involve some trial and error, but then I can just hand out accounts manually to friends who don't want to migrate either.

Maybe running an offline Server with custom account management is the best way going forward for people with kids. ;)

Wow, it's fast. I searched something, and as soon as I selected one of the quick result, the page displayed!
Agreed. Title is a bit misleading when 'how' is omitted. That being said, I found this section particularly interesting:

> The neutralizing ability of antibodies against all other spike variants showed a dramatic decline from 1 to 6 months after the second dose. While there was a marked decline over time after both vaccines, samples from health care workers who’d received the Moderna vaccine showed about twice the neutralizing ability of those who’d received the Pfizer vaccine. The data also suggests greater immune protection in fully vaccinated healthcare workers who’d had a breakthrough infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Seems that there is an element of protection from surviving natural infections and from vaccine usage.
Right, until something from his past came back to haunt him.
mariadb is available in ARM and a drop-in replacement for mysql..
I bought a new car late last year as well. The experience with Honda and Toyota dealers was extremely unpleasant, so I kept putting off the purchase.

I ended up going to the Audi dealership in town on a Saturday evening because I saw them post a used car on their website that was overpriced but such a unicorn I had to see it in person. I was too late for that car, but TL;DR - I bought a new car in their inventory for cash and it was a great experience. There was a Costco discount that put it below MSRP, they didn't care at all about cash vs finance, they kept the dealership open a few minutes past closing to finish off the state paperwork so I drove away with the permanent license plates, etc.

They didn't even deposit the check until a week later, LOL.
This is misleading, they stole purchase receipts is what people looking at the dump are saying
When you describe that way it actually echoes actual parenting — trying to encourage autonomy while still guiding the child.
This seem so penny wise, pound foolish to me. Assuming the long-term value difference between a great founder and a mediocre one can be tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, it really makes sense to spend the extra few hundred thousand on the best cofounder available.

Here's one survey of alternatives:

https://restoreprivacy.com/google-alternatives/

Personally, I use:

* DDG for search.

* gmx.com as my main email server (not sure it's that great for privacy, ProtonMail is probably better).

* OpenStreetMap for maps (caveat: Some info is on Google Maps and not on there)

* HereWeGo for car navigation

* Thunderbird as my mail client + calendar

* I don't publish videos, but otherwise probably PeerTube

* IRC and Matrix for group chatting

* F-Droid for FOSS mobile apps, Aurora for anonymous access to Google Play Store

Not yet de-googlified:

* I use an Android phone (albeit Chinese)

* Still need a good alternative for Google Translate.
