>I wonder at which point this current hunt for (civilian) Russians only drives them into the arms of Putin. To me it feels petty and ultimately counterproductive trying to exclude every Russian from the world community.

This is certainly an interesting point. For example, russian chess community for the most part has spoken out against the war. FIDE has withdrawn basically all chess out of Russia and I believe they are moving much of it to India. Which makes sense to me. Tons of awesome Indian chess players.
Yes, Russia is attacking Indian citizens in Ukraine and has even killed at least one. Those Russian chess players impacted by the move of chess out of Russia will force them to ask wtf. This won't push them toward Putin by any means.

I suspect the same for other sports and interests will be true.

On the otherhand, the economic sanctions will effectively push the Russian people into demanding from their government to be sure. Economically they need their government to stabilize the situation. They are being pushed into the hands of Putin, but excuses of 'something something nazis' is not going to be enough.

>If you seriously want to boycott "Russian" software, why don't you start with this Sergey Brin guy - sounds Russian to me /s

I can get behind that, though I'm pretty sure Brin hates Russia.
That's a really cool idea, wishing you the best of luck with it. BTW I want to try your NeoVim status line plugin too! Thanks for sharing.

Stop lying. NATO didn't conduct any direct action in Iraq for the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation. Some NATO members independently chose to join the US led coalition but others didn't. The alliance itself played no role. This is a basic matter of historical fact.

Did you make sure there was no huge fee for getting the loan in the first place? That was my plan also, but...a huge $1k fee for the loan made it into my closing paper work somehow (I didn't read it close enough).

> One day, Siddhant’s older son shared a story from his own life. A teacher had asked a group of kids, who were all of Indian descent, about their family backgrounds. One by one, the kids shouted out their religion, region, and caste.

How can a school teacher ask kids about religion and caste? How does this not contribute to discrimination based on <religion, caste.. >?
When viewing the docs in Dash (paid app) - the styles are the old way. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
> This includes racism, ageism, misogyny and classism. If you don't think MIT/Stanford grads in their mid 20s at Big Tech companies have more doors open to them you're crazy.

Of course they have more doors open to them. They went to a good school and worked at a well known company.
I'm assuming you are referring to US President Jimmy Carter's "turn down the heat and wear a sweater" comment during the oil crisis of the late '70s?

Is there a reputed citation on this?
Eh, it’s only trashy because they’re not on our side. If it was our allies doing it, it would be considered scrappy, ingenious, clever, resourceful, etc.

Some positive adjective that denotes using a resource in a way no one expected.
strange dismissal. I think his insights are very helpfull, especially to younger (but open minded) people with a shallow, one-sided historical perspective. My history lessons in school were biased, and I'm sure that's the case for many.
ARM also decodes to uOps, and no that decoding is not a huge source of wasted power. The vast, vast majority of power (and thus heat) in x86 CPUs (or ARM for that matter) is spent doing actual work. Ie, speculation, branch prediction, doing the actual ALU math, cache management, prefetching, etc... Almost none of it goes to dealing with the ISA.

The almost singular advantage ARM has is just the looser memory model, although the best ARM CPU on the market by a landslide (Apple's M1) can run x86's memory model, and it seemingly doesn't cost much (hence how Rosetta 2 can perform so well)
Bring back PWA (progressive web apps)
You can apply too much math in it, it's incredible.

Computer graphics has all the matrices/spaces/quaternions that are super interesting.

Then you have functional programming and all the things that come with it.

You use binary, not decimal.

You can make graphs really easily.

And all of these are interactive.

It's just a big math playground.
This is very sad, of course, but it shouldn't be national news. Let the family grieve privately.
This is on topic and pretty damn funny:

Agree. The submission sounds more like a conspiracy theory. Why does the submitter needs to write a news article? Because there is no source to cite (the given link is absolutely not a source for what the submitter claims, probably everyone can understand that even if over 999/1000 readers need machine translation to do so).

It's was already in today's printed newspaper that the parliament will put NATO membership on the session agenda. Nordea is the biggest bank in Finland so there could be all kind of reasons to DDoS them. But not having more people sign the petition seems a far-fetched one. Polls show that support to join raised from 30% in January to 53% in the last poll. The last poll started already before Putin's attack and especially the news that this time Europe does not only watch and make some symbolic declarations, so one can easily assume that support has gone up since then.

Should it become mainline news that this attack was directed against signing the petition, support will go up further.

My feeling is bringing down the petition site would be much easier than the bank that many but far from all potential sginers need for authentication. The petition site is little used after all and has not gained much attention before, certainly not internationally. 50,000 signers needed. Over 90% of the petitions get just a small fraction of that during the 6 months a petition can be supported. Nordea bank handles that many customers in just a couple of hours every day and they have been target of DDoS before.
tokens are just tokens, it's like having a bunch of pointers to JSON documents in a big flat file. if you want the tokens and their data to be discoverable then you still need to host some kind of UI to let people browse and issue transactions.

All blockchain gives you is the payment and settlement part of the process (a private key can reassign "ownership" of the pointer to your document), and it does so at the expense of any ability to reverse a fraudulent or accidental trade. Got a virus and lost your apes? Wow sucks to be you, if you're no longer the owner please take it out of your profile.

this is such a widespread misrepresentation/falsehood in crypto, that it makes all this other stuff go away, like we suddenly won't have any trading firms or crypto exchanges, therefore no need for buildings or employees or heating or lighting. I've literally had people on HN tell me that crypto was gonna mean no more "wasted power and heat" from financial services companies, like commodities or equity traders are just gonna disappear because we came up with a new mechanism for HFT.
Does anyone have a ballpark for how much a AAA game would retail at to hit similar mean-profitability as a similar game monetized through smaller purchases? It would be nice to know if this number is more like $70 or $250 in terms of "can this be solved"

[edit] I suppose it would actually have to be X copies at $Y to be fully specified.
While not direct example of this, everyone who worked at big corps saw tight clusters of Indian managers that took over some orgs. Another example of "national specialization" is some groups working on some high-complexity software that primarily would be stuffed with Russian/east-European engineers.
Roboflow | Engineering, Community | REMOTE (USA)

Roboflow (roboflow.com, YC S20) builds tools that help developers give their software the sense of sight. You can train and deploy a computer vision model in an afternoon without having to become a machine learning expert.

Over 100,000 developers (including employees of over half of the Fortune 100) have used Roboflow to build everything from self driving cars, to pill counting mobile apps, to cat laser turrets[1].

We recently raised our $20M Series A[2] and David Sacks (Paypal, Yammer) joined our board. And we were just listed as a top YC company[3].

Our business has grown much more rapidly than our company & we are expanding our engineering team to keep up. We're looking primarily for Full Stack Engineers to work on our core platform (consumed via web browser) and code tentacles (consumed via code). There are tons of interesting problems to solve & you will have a huge amount of impact and autonomy.

We're dedicated to building a world class remote-first culture[4] and becoming a magnet for exceptional talent. Check out our available listings[5] (5 more engineering roles being posted this week), try out the product[6], and get in touch!

This reads more like an unsourced, conspiratorial rant than an educated analysis of NATO expansion.

He managed to hit:
- Netflix won't host his movie that is a one-sided defence of his $700M fraud conviction, equates it to cancel culture
- The Clintons are to blame
- The Clintons wanted to "take over" Russia after the fall of the USSR
- NATO isn't a defensive alliance because it "moves in aggressive ways"
- The emergence of the LPR and DPR was totally just a self determined act and had nothing to do with a Russian invasion

Repeating Putin talking points and engaging in whataboutism doesn't make for a meaningful analysis.
Golang is my favorite language, and I really like the approach that the team takes. A few days ago I shared here some interesting comments from Griesemer on Golang enums.

But sure, let's not give any ideas or question anything ever again, someone might get offended.
I'll be moving my domains elsewhere, even though I have no ties to Russia and am strongly against this invasion. It's really misguided to punish all citizens of a country because a government's actions. You should think a bit deeper about what the actual impact of what you do.
Thanks. You are right, none of the other vendors do custom launch plans. They are all building templates, which is what everyone is used to -- we built custom launch plans because we spent nearly a decade onboarding Enterprise SaaS -- we know that's what is needed ;)

To answer your questions:

1) We don't have those types of elements right now, it's an interesting idea though!

2) Yes, we faced the problem of customer onboarding as we built my last company (Ambassador Software), especially as we moved up market and realized that "lots of people needed to do lots of things" before the buyer of our SaaS could actually use it.

The product has certainly evolved during YC thanks to all of the conversations we've had with customers and prospects. We came into YC with more traction than some companies (and many paying customers) so, we had some market validation, however, it's been turbo-charged while being in YC and getting such great intro's & connections.

Thanks again for your comments, happy to discuss further!
I worked at Microsoft as a vendor for more than a decade working with physical infrastructure and services Microsoft employees used. I can say that there was a complete sea-change regarding accessibility shortly after Satya took over as CEO. Prior to that accessibility drove me absolutely nuts. Not because I didn't think it was necessary or important, but because all of the accessibility initiatives seemed like little more than lip service. You made some arbitrary changes with no thought whatsoever to actual usability, updated your Power Point presentation to say "Accessibility" a few times, and you were done. After he took over everything changed and people actually spent time figuring out how to make human interfaces that could actually work for all employees with usability in mind. It was no longer simply a box to tick, but was actually more of an opportunity to innovate.

Very sad to hear about Zain's death, but I can say that with his life he absolutely made a meaningful, positive change for a lot of people.

The world would react differently to a CCP invasion of Taiwan for sure, but not in the way you imply. It would be a full scale war against US, Japan, Australia, UK at least right away. With the current president, being a democratic country the US people can of course choose an isolationist president and change their policies.
This is the only known cure to "Copacabana (At the Copa)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
I've been pretty lucky with how and where I grew up, materially I lacked nothing I needed , but my father who grew up in what Americans would call 'housing projects', despite his advanced maths education and subsequent successes still carries something of that background in his appearance, speech and humour, and has imparted a certain cultural stamp on all of his children. I work in a company where I see this caste behaviour among Indians very clearly, but I also see something else. Privilege gives you a comfort with privilege, an understanding of it's language and perspective, an expectation to be able to command others. My co-workers from wealthy Brahmin backgrounds communicate more naturally with Australians from similar backgrounds than I do. I communicate more naturally with Indians from more modest backgrounds, and the company falls organically into a certain hierarchy as a result of our behaviour.
So ARM's lack of fragmentation means I can install any Android ROM on any ol' ARM device?

Or are ARM devices so crazily fragmented that I need to custom compile for each and every device in existence?
I think anyone thats paying attention will know the BS marketing around decentralization and power to the people, is all nonsense.
> privilege is invisible to those who have it. Just think about that

This is not true (very easy to prove it’s false) and I’d question the intent of who taught you this - it’s the kind of method religions/cults/political parties use to indoctrinate.
You are prescribing that people should say things anyway they want to, that there's no such thing as an error, and while you may very well be correct:

I'm simply describing how to sound like an educated person.
We're happy to target anti-competitive behaviour from any operating system or browser if it relates to the open-web. Currently our main focus is user's browser choice on all operating systems is possible and respected to restore the competitive pressures that push everything forward.

That said we want to make list of other things to target and fix, but they have to be well understood and documented. If you're willing to type this up in detail... which APIs, what the issues are, comments from the various browser teams involved and why they came to that conclusion (and it's really important to talk to the individuals that were actually involved in whatever spec you were talking about) and then post in the discord, I'm sure folks would be interested.

It's also really important to be specific as to why the behaviour is harmful to end consumers. We also need to order the issues in terms of priority and how damaging they are to the wider ecosystem.

Some issues with Google include equal WebAPK minting system on Android, and respecting a user's browser choice via Android or Google apps.

Finally, this is all volunteer work on people's weekends and producing detailed technical arguments about each of these topics is incredibly time-consuming.

Should be lots of updates to the website over the next few weeks, lots of people have volunteered, the web community is amazing.
The backstory of how Bluesky started
You think that's bad, it's nothing compared with how hyperbolic the idiotic website is being about the danger of covid during a nuclear attack.
What is your point--or question? Form elements are complex. I'm not familiar with cypress. Puppeteer has worked fine for my needs. If the thesis is simply that using web components is a chore, well, welcome to frontend work. It has always been a chore in one way or another. Web components are the first time I can say--for my own professional experience--it was less so than previously. Generally a superior experience to all of: React, Angular, Backbone, jQuery, etc. Maybe you just need to hire me? I couldn't say without more detail.
The FAQ document (labled "Google docs link") is fascinating. Vaccination required, "I recommend that everyone bring several thousands of dollars", "Write a will or record a video of yourself." and note that you can't bring weapons on (commercial) flights.
I suspect that this is an attempt to hide attacks on civilians and/or other protected classes under the Geneva conventions. If you get a attack/bomb/missile destruction photo from a location that's GPS tagged in the photo, a media person verifying the site on Google Maps will get the latest description. If that's a fake farm photo, what would they believe? The photo or GMaps? Unless you have your own boots on the ground, I'd guess GMaps.
Yea it's the slightly too thin headings on slightly too grey background.
Who says you have to fabricate a RISC-V processor on leading edge TSMC nodes? What about FPGAs? What about older nodes? The whole point of my argument is that when you make the proprietary "industry" knowledge more generally available, more people can contribute to the ecosystem as it removes barriers to entry.

> In the first case anyone with the right skills can do it. In the second you need access to lots of specialist tools / proprietary industry knowledge.

In the first case, it used to require specialist tools like the Autodesk suite, and people had to have access to that software to develop the right skills and acquire the industry knowledge.

I don't think RISC-V "winning" is the right way of measuring success. Whether or not it becomes the dominant ISA for everything is irrelevant. It serves an important role in our market and it doesn't need the guys at Qualcomm and Intel to use it to make it successful. Either way Intel is investing big money into RISC-V:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-invests-in-open-source-r...

Also, careful what you say about high schoolers:
https://riscv.org/blog/2020/11/13-year-old-nicholas-sharkey-...
"So if it takes them to have a job experience to know they don't like Data Science, then that's what is needed to happen to them for them to make a different choice."

Or maybe, if they had people taking them seriously instead of providing this kind of "everything happens for a reason" paternalistic comments, they would have known it before spending time walking down a path that was not the wrong one.
It’s more about identity than about ego, I’d say. If Russia isn’t Russia anymore, if a large part (or, worse, all) of it gets westernized, if the Russian culture seemingly erodes, Putin’s life will turn out to have been meaningless. His self-worth is irreversibly tied to it. That’s why authoritarian leaders are generally unable to say “oh, I guess I was wrong after all”.
Europe's Sleeping Giant Awakes
Fine if you decide to have GPS enabled for photos, but it should be opt in rather than opt out. Anyone who manages to get access to your images could reconstruct a map of where and when you have been
I hope we can have more nuanced discussions on these topics.
> There is a tendency in the West to view all minorities as somehow being the same.

Is unique to the West? Do people in Asia distinguish one European from another? How about in Africa?
Looks like its portainer.io account was breached.

Interesting geopolitical implications of this. Portainer.io is a US and NZ company. If the attacker start deleting data images, do you, as Portainer.io, help them recover?

Sure, it's popular to side with Ukraine, but does it hurt your company's reputation if you don't? What happens when it's inevitably spun by Moscow as an act of aggression?
Russia has no more control over their own Spy-Satelites
Perhaps if Russia's neighbours didn't feel threatened by Russia they wouldn't want to join NATO?
You are making the assumption that people _must_ die. Not only that, but the people that must die should be dying because of sanctions, which means those that must die should be civilians.

The gain I mentioned was that you and your loved ones live. You and your loved ones get to enjoy a longer life with the price of other peoples loved ones dying from sanctions. You believe that's the best way forward.
The data tables published with that 2017 paper, show a *15x* difference between the measured times of the selected JavaScript and TypeScript fannkuch-redux programs.

https://sites.google.com/view/energy-efficiency-languages/re...

That outlier should explain the Typescript and Javascript difference in Table 4.

Today with `node-v17.6.0` those same programs don't show that magnitude of difference:

43.268 seconds Node JS
77.029 seconds tsc --strict --noEmitOnError
The following sentence clearly mentions what kind of lumping takes place; "All Africans" / "All Asians" etc.
It's still carrying his name and he is still creative director (of the company, not of the game) so it doesn't seem unfair to be to call him out on it. Even if he is not much involved (which I believe to be accurate)
Knocking Putin’s teams off the sports stage leaves him exposed to his own people
Nintendo is very good, still. BoTW, Animal Crossing.
It's also probably just the most efficient use of time and resources. "The market" could chose to optimize the last drop of speed out of millions of bits of software, or improve the speed of a handful of chips which benefits those million bits of software.
Perhaps a better solution would have been to offer free service to Russian people. Connectivity is the best strategy against dictatorship.
>Wrong borders in Google Maps have nearly led to international incidents when soldiers ended up on the wrong side of a border.

Speaking of, if you go click on the Ukraine label right now on Google Maps, you won't get the red outline showing their border. Click on a neighboring country label for a comparison.

Belarus: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Belarus/@53.696013,25.7358...

Probably largely just name recognition/fame of some sort.

I have limited time, and have tried a few less famous games based on recommendation, and some I absolutely hated. However, I know if I buy say, Assassins Creed, I'm going to enjoy it.

So part of the problem your suggesting I guess is people like me. I don't buy the IAP/addons/microtransactions, but I do buy the games. So if I have time to sit and play a video game - do I scour the internet for recommendations, read reviews, watch trailers...or just buy a name brand I know I've enjoyed in the past? For me obviously, the latter.
