Finish your degree and don't sweat about your current job (not making little of the dire situation in your part of the world ofc). 90% of the Data Scientist work is Data Engineering so you are doing the right thing. Kaggle and others are like conferences - there are specific trainings if you wanna do good in a conference that won't get you far ahead on the job life. You can do both. Don't tell people that you are not fit for DS before they telling you what they are looking for tho.
As to switch to SWE after your degree, keep doing what you do - experiment and apply. Be safe.
To be clear: I'm not saying the current IP system is good. It is evil. But no IP would also be evil.

The fact that when prices go down, consumption increases is just basic microeconomics. This is not evidence that removing IP would increase scientific progress or well-being.

One way to approach this would be comparing countries that don't/can't enforce IP protection to countries who do. Of course would need to control for a lot of variables and it wouldn't be a perfect predictor, but already better than pure speculation.
For me, the website does not even load since it uses way too many javascript hosts which I have to trust.
There are many good Russian people. Chess community for the most part have said no to war.

It would seem Russians were misled about this war. The problem with the isolation is that Russians will only get the 1 view from now on.
No way is SkyNews as partisan as Fox.

You'd never see someone like Sam Coates for example on Fox. And he's not the only one.
Application specific password.
For that, I've always seen "Source" spelled out (or spoken), even when "CS" is abbreviated.
I find getting off social media is a massive help. Delete it, chances are you will find it has been a net negative for most of the time you have been using it.

Don't pay too much attention to headlines, most of the time they are misleading, discount any articles with “sources say”, “experts say”, all of that nonsense. Only pay attention to actual sources that you can verify.

Always check the sources once found, don't take anyone's word for it. In this instance it might be worth watching the countries' leader's speeches in full, from Putin, to Zelenskyy.

Sit back, and wait (unless you're actually in the middle of the conflict, in which case you won't need the news to tell you). Most things take weeks, if not months, and years to come out.

Use critical thinking to process things, and remember if it's in the news it's likely completely unique, and won't affect your real life anyway.

If war is coming to your country you will know without switching the telly on, if there is a pandemic you will know because many people will be dropping all around you.
Interesting. Perhaps because it's British, I couldn't tell it was biased.

They definitely are not Putin fans, but that seems universal right now.

I'm checking out your alternative recommendations now, thanks!
You really don't get how suddenly having a world actor doing whatever the hell they want with the IP space would play havoc with the rest of the internet?

Mmmmkay. Bit much on the blowing up the house to put out the fire. Personally, there are still a few nuts that deserve to flourish over there. SciHub being one of my chief concerns.
> (The sheer suddenness of the flip on Russia, and its scale, surprises me. We didn't do it when they shot down a passenger jet, or carried out several terrorist attacks with chemical weapons outside the country, or when they supported Assad in Syria, or even the previous time Russia invaded Ukraine. Perhaps if something more graduated had been done earlier we wouldn't be in this position)

Back then I was shocked that one can just invade and annex part of a country in Europe and virtually nothing happens. Sure, a few minor sanctions here and there, but really nothing that would have an effect.

Obviously, the idea was to to appease Russia and try to involve it economically in order to ultimately have it become more liberal and democratic. If you look at Merkels actions in particular, she was using that exact playbook that the US had been using after WW2 in Europe and Germany in particular to great success, but failed in China, and also Russia.

So I think all previous actions have to be seen under this strategy. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and direct lies on the diplomatic level before that ("just an exercise, won't invade, calling troops back" etc.) forced the West to concede that appeasement and economic inter-dependency as a strategy failed and that if Putin's Russia succeeds with the invasion in Ukraine, Eastern Europe will be next. So the strategy changed to "Putin cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine".
Russia is an authoritarian state where open dissent with the government has repeatedly resulted in being imprisoned or assassinated. It's very easy to say "just go outside and hold a demonstration" from the comfort of a democracy, but I don't blame anyone for putting their own safety first even if they disagree with Putin's government.
It's true, it exists everywhere but at much smaller scale. Societies have developed mechanisms to keep it in check like freedom of press, education, and checks and balances.
This has already started to some degree, starting from today, all russian citizens are banned from sending money over to their overseas accounts, all tax resident companies (and if you are a russian citizen, the only legal way to work for a foreign emplyer from russia is via creating a legal entity which is akin to a 1-man company) must sell 80% of received foreign currencies (this applies to money that was received starting from Jan 1st).
This is a great, easy to understand breakdown, thanks a bunch! I'm at the tail end of having to transition an existing, not well documented codebase from Identity Server to Keycloak and had zero experience with auth prior to starting. I found the jargon to be the toughest part, as well as learning the hard way all the little things that more experienced devs take for granted like the subtle differences in how the backend API is granted auth vs. how the front-end clients are granted auth.
This looks very promising, I rememberd a few years ago, when this project https://www.meteor.com/ appeared, was really succesfull but I've missed in what's going. I hope this project evolve and good luck ;)
I struggle to take these arguments seriously. Ukraine regards the gangsters running the DPR and LPR as terrorist, not the people under their undemocratic and illegitimate rule. The time zone and currency were chosen by those gangsters, not by the people.
The most important thing browsing reddit has taught me is to never believe in a piece of info right away if it seems to induce outrage in anyway. Now, anytime I read something that feels "too bad to be true", my bullshit detector starts ringing and I start to question, what are the sources? Who reported this? Is there video/photo evidence? Have any reputable news sources reported this? And so on.
Does this mean email aliasing is gmail is going to break? I think you need less secure sign in for that to work.
I've got great distrust for these pop-up "sign in with Google" or whichever SSO provider you have you find in a lot of apps (or even Apple's accounts thing on macos); how can I verify it is in fact Google and not a 3rd party lookalike?
I'd be grateful if someone could say a bit about why GNUnet is interesting. I looked at it some 4-5 years ago for some P2P work, and concluded at the time that it was entirely unsable. Has much changed?
"Play date", well that was a risky click on a work computer.
You're already a SWE, just don't apply to data science jobs when you're looking for your next thing.
I agree, this is probably the best approach. Stop, breathe, apply critical thinking and give it some time to process the information and see how it fits into the big picture. You need to detach yourself emotionally from the issue you're trying to observe and evaluate (aka don't choose sides, it's not a football match). And as ever; if in doubt, go against the majority. That's your safest bet. The average person is more or less an idiot (I don't mean this as an insult, I'm not sure how to explain it in just a few words).
I am debating that myself, I figured I just make stuff up as I go. I discovered a ton of little known alternatives for your typical end-user needs, so probably nothing too specific.

Alternatively, I work with WordPress and ever-hated SEO for some years now[1] and most of the things surrounding these two things is a scheme made to extract money from end-users. Should I focus on that? For example, if you look for "free wordpress themes 2022" you will find that the first page of Google results is all listicles of freemium themes that are years old. Of course the "best" themes are the ones who offer affiliate program.

This is both fail of Google and WordPress, if you ask me. I started a sheet of all the websites deems quality results on this search query and linked together the repeated offenders, I want to use as much data as possible to support my salty opinions. The thing is... does anyone even care about this?

See, my frustration is, apps can still track you even with all this and copperheados or whatever. And you still get pwned no matter what. If you have to use android I agree, this is the way to go but all I would be doing is giving myself false assurances of privacy and security if I believed there is a significant difference in effective security or privacy if I just used an iPhone that is better supported,nicer UX and nicer (quality) hardware.

I prefer to treat smartphones as hostile devices and move important data elsewhere to retain control.
I think we should make the effort to verbalize things in a precise way. Otherwise this leads to noise/disinformation in general (and in particular it dillutes message to boycott Russia to put pressure on Russia to stop the invasion).
Forgive me, but this is totally the wrong take.

This research is being done to understand cognition. To connect to the biochemistry and biophysics. To improve our models and begin making bigger leaps.

Even simple systems like drosophila are wildly complicated.

A hundred years of this type of investigation and maybe one day we'll be able to record memories. Transfer consciousness. End death.

This isn't just "fly VR". This is the curiosity of being human. And yet another slow, methodical step towards solving it all.
I like to use my phones for long periods.

Switching phones is a total annoyance for me.

And, through a decade of smartphone use, I think it is more about replaceable battery more than anything.

It seems that companies brought out sealed handsets for the sole purpose of selling more units. I really despise that.

I will buy this whenever I can get my hands on it. And I will use it for 5 years.
The author lost me in the introduction.

> "Ohhh, an OO pattern with a couple of one-liner lifecycle methods is just WAY too much code! Higher likelihood for errors and worse developer experience."

...

> "So instead, I'm going to replace this with a functional pattern, that crams a couple of lifecycle functions into a closure, and is riddled with edge cases and common developer mistakes."

This article perfectly crystalizes why my career has tracked toward the backend over the past decade. All of the virtual ink in this article, and honestly most of the complexity in the field overall... and it seems to really all just boil down to, "I think this looks cooler."
Very true (hence "most" not "all" in my statement :) ), but with AV disabled it's more or less on par with MacOS: https://www.bitsnbites.eu/benchmarking-os-primitives/ (not the best comparison given the wide variety of hardware in play, but for orders of magnitude it's probably good enough)

File creation on Windows is similarly massively impacted by search & AV.
What are some alternatives?

British Sky News is quite decent, and reasonably well respected. Despite its ownership, it certainly isn't at the level of Fox News (or even The Times).
There's no way around it, because git commits by default can be forged due to the way it was designed.
Pursue what you love. If DS isn't your thing , quit it. At least you've given a shot. If you love SWE just seek for SWE!

And I know this is opposite of what most say here but I haven't seen any benefit of my CS degree, and no job ever asked for my university, so I'd say focus on real world not the university, but again this contradicts with many of the opinions. Probably a cultural thing.
> Completing a degree means you can commit and deliver, IMO.

Not completing a degree doesn't mean you can't so this statement doesn't tell us all that much.
You may have missed, it, for which I can't fault you if that is the case but Putin has threatened first strike use of nuclear weapons, which definitely would impact India in ways that defy description. Whether you like it or not: you have already been affected, how you react to that is up to you.
I totally agree, for that I’m sending encrypted emails also with my family and I wrote a quick tutorial on how to do it on Apple devices. https://giuliomagnifico.blog/tutorial/2021/01/13/ios-smime-a...
Science can estimate what will happen to the climate under various emissions levels, but it cannot prescribe what if anything should be done about climate change, which is a political question. Does it make sense for Europe to restrict its development of fossil fuel resources at the expense of becoming more dependent on Russia? That's not a scientific question.

Too many people think that "follow the science" is a good political credo. Political issues are more complicated than that.
> Ukraine was also a non-democratic country, until the people decided otherwise

That's not true. The President of Ukraine who was overthrown in 2014 (Yanukovych) was democratically elected in 2010 in an election that international observers called fair, truly competitive, and an impressive display of democracy.[1]

That President was supported mostly by the people of eastern Ukraine and opposed by the people of western Ukraine.

They are not saying App Passwords are going away.
1) Finish your degree
2) Get a entry level role in SWE or internship (your degree is very compatible with that)
3) Program something you can demonstrate in the mean time (will help get you in the door and build skills)
4) keep building and applying
5) realize you might not like SWE either, that’s okay you can switch again.
What are the leading recommendations these days? is it still mainly protonmail?

I think the features I value most are U2F support and a usable but simple web interface (Gmail's web interface has actually gotten consistency worse over the last decade so I guess that sets a low bar).
again, not what I was arguing against. the argument was removing .ru resolution would prevent russians from reading international media to see how the rest of the world is seeing it.

I dont understand how one can make that argument with a straight face.
Sanctions helped end apartheid.

Your experience is valid and interesting. Still, unless you’ve got a better alternative, and until sanctions do actually cause those potential harms, I think they are the best weapons we have.
A bit ironic that 4 out of the 5 don't seem to work in Firefox on macOS.
>After watching a video where Sergey Naryshkin, the director of russian foreign intelligence service, was visibly stuttering trying to find the right words to answer a simple question by Putin, hoping for his dear life that he didn't say something wrong, well, I'm not quite sure a reasonable person who cares about the life of their loved ones is going to risk it all. There wouldn't be dictators if it was easy to go to the streets and take it back.

Yes I saw the same video. Putin surrounded himself with yesmen and propaganda. He most likely misled himself.

Also yes, it takes a strong people to stand up to their government. We saw many people in the middle east topple their governments during the arab spring.

Do you think the Russian people are strong enough to do the same? Idont.
> Many of those harmful reasons are dealt with

Yes, they are being dealt with because Safari and Firefox are persistent. Chrome just releases them.

> where does it differ that much from normal apps

"Hey, we know that native apps are a nightmare for privacy and security, why would you oppose making the web more like native " isn't a good argument
I stay off social media. I have a subscription to the Financial Times epaper - published once a day, so yesterday’s fact checked news. Even then I expect bias.
European countries are also keen to avoid a point of no return.

If Russia feels too much pressure and goes into complete isolation from the West there is nothing too lose anymore and the conflict can easily escalate beyond Ukraine.

US/Europe want to avoid this due to the huge disruption it would bring economically (gas shortages etc) and the end of any hope for a diplomatic resolution.

I'd personally support more measures, but it's not as clear cut as one might assume.

We still have to share a continent, and pushing Russia into the arms of China can have huge long lasting ramifications.
Have never experienced that since switching back to Firefox after years on various Chromium browsers.

Developer Edition, on Windows fwiw.
Hahaha yes! Congrats to whoever did this!
lmao

so many people I know have amazing projects and work they're afraid to post here because they don't want a massive audience of highly technical people picking at the bugs
Isn't this prejudice?

I mean, you're not giving every developer a fair chance to show their true value. The e-mail provider has nothing to do with their technical skills. Or can you objectively demonstrate such causal relation or at least a statistically relevant correlation?
I am also most productive before 10AM, but that is usually because 6-10 is the only time I have to work, because at 10AM, meetings usually start, and they don't stop until around 3pm (sometimes as late as 6pm near releases), and by then my entire soul has been sucked from my body and I need 12-16 hours to slowly reel it back in.

I love WFH, but this is the one part that has seriously killed me. Before WFH, management was rarely in the office before 10AM or between 12PM-2PM and I would sneak out at 4PM every day. Now that everyone is WFH, the concept of work hours has died. I still have a hard stop at 4pm, but doesn't stop me from getting calls or texts even as late as midnight - I just refused to answer anything after I'm done working and put my phone on silence.

> Today, we announced a $2 million contribution to the Red Cross, Save the Children and our employee assistance fund for humanitarian relief.

Right. So those in Russia who also want to help and donate to Save the Children and Red Cross cannot do so because of this sweeping sanctions even when the Russian people are against this war.

Well at least they can donate to Save the Children and the Red Cross via crypto [0] [1]. That gets around the bans and unfair sweeping sanctions.

> Putin surrounded himself with yesmen and propaganda. He most likely misled himself.

true.

but it's also sending a message to his people "I can do whatever I want, look how afraid they are of me"
If we're going with Star Trek, I think the more likely of the possibilities is that we're more similar to the Terran Empire timeline, sadly.
This reminds me of a well-read paper some years ago that was titled something like “The Missing 100X”, on the disparity between raw CPU computational throughput gains and measured software performance + an evaluation of techniques to close it.

My Google-fu has failed me, however.
OmniSci Is Now HEAVY.AI
Why do you need AI if a simple spam program is enough for this task?
I’m saying that they see a huge difference between Ukraine’s imperfect democracy and Russian dictatorship, and the fact that the former doesn’t conform to your theoretical, ideal democracy is just irrelevant.
What about clients which don't support that, like Google's "send mail as" feature? I suppose that won't be supported anymore?
The only thing I used my google account for was email. There are many good alternatives – I myself have been happy with mailbox.org for years.
One thing I've noticed as a parent is that there's a very clear delineation between children's books written for the love of children, and children's books written for a) $, b) as PR for the [often celebrity] author, and c) as political statement (or about a politicized situation/event). It's unfortunate there aren't universally acknowledged sub-genres of children's books, as there are for YA & adults. Every once in a while you'll stumble upon a gem, but almost universally the stories kids want to hear on repeat are simple, imaginative and relatable - just like Goodnight Moon.
I didn't want to imply that we are doing anything meaningful, just that we at the very least don't condone what's happening.

Many are running the hell away from Russia and that's something the government has already got concerned about. Unlike the letter.
NASA extends SpaceX’s Commercial Crew contract by three missions for $900M
And that's with the SWIFT sanctions already being structured in a way to shape the impact towards companies and rich Russians.
A lot less with lower specs, than the higher end specs I deserve. That's what people will think, as soon as they see them.
Think of it as the CS equivalent of cell division and differentiation in biology.
Pretty sure its not just Firefox, I'm on a Mac and it doesn't work in Safari or Chrome. My guess is somethings broken...

Only the accordion is working.
this comment shows a bit of misunderstanding on what the point of POS is.

It is not some saving mechanism, it is a concensus mechanism. It ensures fraud doesn't occur and that more crypto isn't being created out of thin air. It is a way to incentivice node operators to act fairly.

If the USD had a POS system, I would 100% have all my money in it. but i can't verify the whims of the FED
Could Putin be exploring cryptocurrencies to bypass western sanctions?

I have been using Samsung phone/earbuds/watch for a while now and I think the software experience is quite good (coming from Oxygen OS on OnePlus 6 (great) and having used Apple devices (stifling) in the past ). Their heavy handed UI/UX are things of past - One UI 4 has plenty of customization/useful features while being reasonably light (e.g. it has a feature that lets you force dark mode on apps that don't support it which is surprisingly handy). In terms of integration (which Apple is famed for), everything works seamlessly: when I take out the earbuds, the audio automatically routes to them, the watch syncs automatically with the phone with pretty decent exercise/fitness tracking out of the box, the app selection for the watch has improved due to them using Wear OS etc. Sure, there are some Samsung apps I don't care to use but that is not getting in my way. Their privacy record is a weak point indeed and it is unfortunate that we don't have any competitor in Android space that has the same or better level of polish while keeping privacy a priority.
