> BitLocker key backup is about the best way that Microsoft Customer Service or your organisation IT helpdesk can turn around and say "well actually, yes, we can help with this" rather than leaving users to suffer consequences they probably didn't even know about.

This is the best way for Microsoft. They have the keys to data.
The best way for other people is education. Just as you lit a match when you're a child and get burned and you learn that fire burns, just like this you can teach people about their data and the consequences of giving it to others. This, of course, does not work because (in this case) Microsoft has a conflict of interest. They want your data.
I'm astonished how my company talks about information security when almost everything they have is in the cloud. Microsoft has the emails, Microsoft has the code. Yes they do claim it is secure but the keys are only accessible by the Microsoft OS.

The funny thing is that capitalism was all about property. "I own my {house, computer, car}." I'm really curious how this will evolve in the long term when noone will own anything. A new era of "digital slavery" ?

I do the same with markdown in Zettlr, which has a nice inline-preview format and can be used by my non-tech partners.

The generated .docx has a limited range of styles, but we see that as an advantage.

gqlgen allows you to write GraphQL Servers with resolvers, etc.
graphql-go-tools implements not just the GraphQL specification but also comes with a GraphQL engine that is "thunk-based".
What this means is that you don't "implement" resolvers, you configure them. We then have a Query Planner, similar to a SQL database, that can make a stateless execution plan for a given GraphQL query. This plan can be cached and then executed, making it very efficient.

What's possible so far is that you can combine multiple GraphQL and REST APIs into a single unified GraphQL API. It also supports Apollo Federation as upstream, including subscriptions.

The whole system is very flexible and extensible so that you can implement a few interfaces and add support for e.g. gRPC or Kafka as upstream.

We're using the engine in WunderGraph to make it easy to configure and use: https://wundergraph.com/
What WunderGraph does is it gives you a TypeScript SDK to automatically configure the "unified graph" based on introspecting one or more DataSources, e.g. OpenAPI (REST), GraphQL, Federation and Databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Planetscale etc..

What problem does it solve? Using this engine, you can talk to multiple heterogenous systems as if they are one single GraphQL API, even though their sub protocols are different.
I am more interested in a low latency connection, which then can change everything.
TLDR - Before you cure cancer, you need to "cure" aging.

> But I believe what would be the greatest human achievement would be fully conquering these leading causes of death: cancer,

I dunno about the others, but with cancer I don't think it is possible to "cure" it.

It's the result of a bad mutation when a cell reproduces (AIUI, it's to do with telomere lengths and statistically certain low-frequency events).

Each cell that reproduces will do so imperfectly, and normally those random mutations aren't too bad. Statistically, one of those mutations will eventually be a mutation that causes the cell to reproduce without limits (normal cells don't reproduce very fast).

Hence, the longer you live, the greater the chance of a bad mutation, i.e. cancer. The only way to "cure" cancer, then, will be to have cells reproduce perfectly, in which case you have effective immortality as long as no other disease or event kills you.
I hear you. But metrics aren't going to save you. You need to find a manager who isn't shitty! They are out there, don't lose hope.
That's what Feynman diagrams represents. Each diagram is a term in the series, pretty well, and better QM estimates come from including more terms
Even then, 1 year off is a 20% income reduction on paper. 2 years would be 40%. Want to catch people voluntarily taking off work versus being 'legitimately' unemployed? (For example, is a realtor with no income during the housing crisis adequately poor?) Then, every university will have to hire people to do the analyses and make value judgements.

Long term, factoring in wealth creates all sorts of perverse incentives for parents that prioritize their children's education. It means in the present not taking promotions, even negotiating for lower salaries, and being priced out of better neighborhoods with better schools, all out of fear that doing otherwise will hurt their children's futures. And if their children succeed in getting a good education and a high-paying job, it comes at the cost of sacrificing their own children's futures.
Get better as in knowing what to do, not so much about fast reactions or very precise timing of the controls, etc. Those help if you want to beat the games 'the hard way' but there are always easier ways. The gameplay is more about finding what those are, rather than banging your head against the wall trying the same approach over and over, which is a trap some players fall into.
I think that governments should put up financial and other sanctions; putting up sanctions with networking would only aid those who set up the not so great Russian firewall, and their Chinese and Vietnamese equivalents. Also fragmenting the internet is a thing that could backfire.

I am trying to send my friends in Russia some info on what is going on in the world, without whatsapp i would not be able do that..

Also it goes both ways, for example there is no equivalent for genlib and sci-hub, there is just no substitute for these resources...

It this a competition of who is the real neo-Nazi? So even the mainstream media are a bunch of white supremacists without realising it?

Why are they giving a reason for Putin to carry on his so-called 'de-nazification' of Ukraine when the mainstream media are caught on air behaving like Nazis before and during the war? I can see why non-Ukrainians were barred from escaping and why the Azov Battalion would support that, whilst being cheered on by tech companies like Meta. Oh dear.

I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Can't wait for them to deny it and slap, 'manipulated media' on their own video interviews and then figure out a new way to suggest it is 'misleading' or it the whole tweet is a 'disinformation campaign'
It’s a good idea, and IIRC part of this site’s guidelines, to “assume good faith”. If you find the linked articles more convincing than I do in making the case that NATO had a hand in starting this war, then maybe say “I disagree” rather than “you are lying”.

This seems like penny-pinching that has the possibility of creating friction among remote teams. The realistic business impact is marginal, and the downside seems higher than the upside.

I mean here are their salaries[1], how much do you think their fancy "cost-of-living bands" are actually saving? It's probably more of a bureaucratic headache to make sure the bands are always up to date. Speaking of savings, it's always a bit gauche when a CEO/founder pays themselves the biggest salary, especially in a startup, where they have the most equity and the most long-term upside, but that's neither here nor there.

For me Linux is a no-brainer. It runs almost any open source *nix software and most older Windows binaries with WINE. It's the fastest modern OS that supports my hardware fully, and by fully I mean every driver works OOTB on a newish PC (2019). Windows and macOS still make you look for driver packages online for stuff like USB wireless adapters. Meanwhile on Ubuntu these are plug and play.

Work specific stuff is great, too. Virtualization support is awesome. The software repos make it insanely easy to get development tools and libraries installed, even for complex stuff like cross-architecture compiling and test tools like Qemu.

Linux is probably the most useful and flexible OS ever made.
You're right, and I've actually changed my mind.

The analysis I was reading and where it was coming from was their experience in Syria where American and Russian forces have come into contact. But there's an asterisk here. They were Russian solders, but they were disavowed Russian soldiers acting under the Wagner group at an arm's length relationship, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/world/middleeast/american...

I need to read up on how the no-fly zone was set up in Syria, but IIRC there were active clashes between American hardware and the Russians.

But that was a different context. It was a space far away from Russia's borders. It's another kettle of fish and it's not a good idea to do what was done in Syria here.

I apologize if I sounded too firm earlier, this is not my place of expertise. I am not an expert on geopolitics or foreign policy. It's not my area. I just like to read.
For us the problem with hooks is that we have a lot of complex state that can be shown in different components. So global stores are a must. But then bugs in the hooks can be hard to debug. Also lack of forceUpdate for hooks causes to use artificial state counters complicating the code. Basically with external state class components are more straightforward to write and easier to maintenance .
I don't understand the race baiting outrage trying to be manufactured here?

Imagine you are Asian, let‘s say Han Chinese. Nobody alive in Shanghai today has ever had to witness other Chinese people being fire bombed in their cities by a foreign aggressor.

Of course it does happen every day in other parts of the world, mostly in the middle east, but seeing people like you, peope that could be your neighbours, or even literally you, die in a cluster bomb attack is… completely new and shocking.

Of course people are gonna point that out, and surely Chinese media would be underlining „it‘s Chinese people like you and me dying!“.

There is no implication that 3rd world citizen‘s are „lesser“ people or that they deserve war.

Quite the opposite: opposition to war in the Middle East has been a very common sentiment especially in Europe, so you can't even complain that people are now „tasting their own medicine“ etc.

Especially since Europe accepted millions of refugees with mostly very open hands.

So basically what all the people in the videos in that Twitter thread are saying is „the situation in Europe has deteriorated to a state comparable with the worst places to be on earth right now.“
Namecheap CEO from your second letter we can see that:
1. you really think that business taxes do mean something for Putin. It is totally wrong. Business in Russia exists ONLY against the government, with It's 20% and decreasing share (it is far less than in any democratic country).
Putin gets his money from government run companies and he makes everything to raise their share. There are 2 reasons for him to do this: it is much easier and predictable to deal (steal) with those big companies and it is much easier to brainwash and control people, working there.
And you must know that opposition financing goes from small independent businesses.
If you want the proves - here they are: when Magnitsky sanctions were made against concrete people, Putin, as an answer restricted import of many goods, hurting and killing many businesses, and, therefore people. «All I wanna say he doesn’t care about us»
So, acting like this you obviously help regime.

2. living in USA you think that sanctions is the way. this is the cowards' position, isn't it? instead of talking and acting with Putin himself you hurt innocent people and their families. Doesn't it look very like on his actions? Sitting in the safe underground bunker, sending missiles to civilian houses?

If you think your actions will help people start hating Putin - Not.
We all hate him, suffer and willing peace.
I must remember you that hundreds of thousands people united against him, leaded by Navalny, but many was poisoned, dozens are killed, thousands jailed. The opposition power was not enough, if enough Putin was defeated, isn’t it?
I don't ask you where have you been when regime fighters died. It was not your war. But I ask you now - are the actions you make support the fight? How you refuse from couple of dollars will help opposition to raise again? If you want to help - send addressed money to fighters. And make it public. We have enough strong people, but the lack of resources is critical, because of the dumb sanctions idea. And the Serbian man, upthere in the comments, told you that they put down the regime only when people could accumulate resources to do that.

Help us, not Putin.
This discrimination is not to protect Black or Hispanic students from being outcompeted by Asians, it is there to protect Whites, just like anti-Jewish discrimination before WW2 when Jews were not considered white.

Bringing Blacks and Hispanics into the conversation is a red herring used by elite universities to defend the indefensible. If you want to see what a truly meritocratic admissions policy would look like, at least in STEM, just see Caltech, where Asians make up 44% of the student body, not the paltry 15% quota the Ivies have consented to grant them.

https://www.registrar.caltech.edu/records/enrollment-statist...

The other thing to consider is that “diversity” somehow fails to consider class. Have you noticed how universities prattle on about racial statistics but getting stats on socio-economic background is like pulling teeth, if you can get data at all?
> The probability of winning in two guesses is about 2%, so the answer is: mostly lucky

That's for any given game, so presumably if your statistics over time are significantly higher than 2% then the answer is mostly good? Or perhaps that's a statistical fallacy akin to tossing a head 5 times in a row?
This seems to indicate discrimination is done by upper castes only. The reality is that everyone discriminates might be same for other religions in India. I am from what they call other backward caste. If you speak my relatives/community they don't like brahmins thinking as if they are superior to us. But they in turn think they are superior to other castes below them!. You don't hear much about other castes since its easy to abuse brahmins they don't have much legal power to fight back. While criticizing other castes can put you in jail.
Why the alleged patting behaviour seems unlikely - even if it worked, it would only tell you if the person is a member of the relatively few castes that wear that.
Is this uncommon? Mosaics are not painted but made of stones of different size and color, so I assume that there's no pigment that can degrade
This is just stupid and lacks imagination on how to discuss an opposition away. There are less Nazis in those protest against Covid policies than western nations funded in Ukraine after the Maidan revolution.

Sure, sometimes they merge if the resistance against politics is more of a focus than the issues itself.
Last stable release for sc was 19 years ago (according to wikipedia). I guess it is perfect already :D
The negative correlation is because how most PhDs do not focus on SWE skills isn't it? But that group are probably not interested in coming to SWE either.
Why does it make sense to pay different per location?

Because you should pay equal. If you just use the same number on the payslip, some get more than others. It's like with currency. There is no reason to pay everyone 10k of their local currency, as that won't make sense. But paying 10k of the same makes none as well as for some this means they can have butlers, and other only get a bed under the next bridge.

Payment should be equal in Terms of living standard. Otherwise they are not equal.
I'm not a bioinformaticist. Try the 23andme algorithm, or whatever they used in the research that compared self-reported race to genetically measured ancestry. (The objective definition of your race is defined by where your ancestors come from, which, due to how babies get made, can be measured from your DNA. You can read more about this "DNA pseudo-science" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiosis )

College admissions departments already check to see if applicants are lying about race, e.g. by looking up their social media. Instead of scanning DNA, they could ask for some documentary evidence if they think an applicant is lying.
Do you mean like moving the whole organization from Office 365 in cloud to Google Workspace, or switching to Google tools instead of MS tools as individual?
> You need to work on your facts. The term was coined several hundred years before 1639.

Of course, the term «ukraine» was used for centuries before founding of Moscow, but in 17th century the set of ukraines was built on territory of former Russia (now Ukraine), so the whole territory of former Russia got name «Ukraine». From usage of the word it's easy to guess it's meaning: a land with fortification, which protects it.

> I would guess the /u/ - /o/ change happened for the same reason that the Russian word for "Russia", named after the Rus, is "Rossiya".

Rossiya is the late transcription of the word Russia to Cyrillic.

Originally, Russia meant the town of Russia (now: Old Russa, Старая Русса) or «red». In times of Justinianic plague (541–549 AD), original Russians abandoned their town and spread around large territory, between Azov sea and Spain, trying to avoid plague.

About century before that, Volyn kingdom, last kingdom of all Slavs, was broken into pieces when king Muzhyk (Brave) was captured by Greeks when he helped his brother to raid Byzantine. Russians (now Ukrainians) captured the city of Kyїv and start to rule 9 Slavic tribes in the freshly formed country. In Ukrainian, suffix -sia (-ся) means here/there/self, so it was dropped, thus the name of Russia shortened to just Rus, while keeping it original spelling at West.

When Moscow tsar Petro I captured Russia(now Ukraine), he appended «tsar of all Russia» to his title. Moscow tsar Caterina II, born in Prussia, renamed Moscow kingdom to Russian Empire and directed to return all correspondence sent to old name, so most Western countries started to call Moscow kingdom as Russia (except very few, which still know Ukraine as Russia, which is used by Russians to confuse people).

However, two Russia's created confusion in Moscow kingdom, so they refer to old one as Rus, while refer to modern one as Rossia. It has nothinh to do with «ou» to «o» (oh) and «u» (oo) transition.

It's similar to how RF captured their seat in UN: they never formally accepted into UN, so they just switched the country name on the table.
