Yeah right. So atm I'm sitting in Kyiv centre, central traint station was bombed in the night. Babyn Yar, Holocause memorial was bombed yesterday - it was a try to destroy tv broadcasting tower. I'm so not fucking sorry for your shitty incovinience. I managed to get wife and kids out of country. And five more women with children to Poland. All of that under bombings. Go fuck yourself, I don't remember that ukrainians were given time.
> I want to be able to quickly resolve any issues in person, not over voice call or slack..

Isn't this the main problem? I hate everyone who comes barging in and wants to "resolve issues" quickly. Not saying I love remote work, but I cannot stand working a place where people are "allowed" to disturb me. I don't even log into Slack/Teams/Skype or any of that nonsense; I don't even want to be disturbed in my virtual wold.

Onsite is ideal for management; endless meetings about progress/status, we can all "align". Issues can be resolved quickly. But for those who need to concentrate for long periods at a time; this is hell. And during the pandemic, many people got used to not being interrupted all the time, and I don't think any of them want to go back to that hellhole.
I don't think it's horrible even if true.

Regardless of whether a person's lived experience is time-boxed or eternal, either we think the good experiences outweigh the bad or we don't. If the good experiences outweigh the bad they still outweigh the bad even if they're eternal.

For me, I believe good experiences do outweigh bad. And summed across the entire population of all humans who have ever lived, I believe they do too, although of course there are some for whom they don't.
Your life will be a lot easier if you decide not to chase bit-level reproducibility when doing floating point calculations. You can try setting CFLAGS to get the same result on all hardware, but that is a lot of effort, especially if you don't want to leave any performance on the table.

And for what gain, just to make it simpler for your tests to compare against a fixed reference? In practice you don't gain anything else by having reproducible calculations because your inputs will have a lot more uncertainty in them than just beyond the 16th digit.

Better to embrace the difference in results between hardware architecture, parallel execution, compiler version, optimization level, etc. This means spending time making your test suite more robust to small variations, but it saves you time investigating failed test runs that are insignificant. And as a bonus, it forces you to understand the numerical properties of your code better.
Welfare itself isnt, the implementation of welfare via stimulus checks and QE basically meant that all that money pumped stocks and houses. The end result being the owners of the capital got wealthy, and the lower classes who dont own assets, got poorer in relative terms.

Think about it this way,

lower classes got 600$ checks, but then houses in their area went up 50-100k. Thats a terrible trade off.
Housing code and zoning laws are different. Code is what makes sure a house is built "properly": materials, structural requirements, ventilation, septic, etc. Zoning is what ensures how large a parcel size should be, how close the nearest shop can be, and how tall a building can be.
No. I honestly experience relief, because I don't have to care about how my face looks like while being on meeting. I can sit comfortably. I walk around the room. Sometimes I do few push ups or squats. I make myself a coffee.

Zoom meetings are less tiring, because I dont have to care about how I look like. I can focus on content ... or not. I can make myself comfortable.
Contracts Are a Blessing
In California you pay roughly 75k/SFH in permit fees for new construction just to be approved. That’s before any work on the house starts.

Yeah…
Being a civilian, what does this distinction mean/imply?

[Edit] wording For -> Being.
Yeah this article is really pointless because it doesn't mention this. I'm an American citizen living abroad (still digital, no longer nomadic). I only pay SS and Medicare tax to the US.

Do not give up your US Citizenship for tax avoidance unless you are earning > $200k per year or making a lot of unearned income outside of the US.

Or you are in some weird situation where you permanently want to be in the US more than 35 days a year, but you don't work in the US, and don't want to be a citizen for some reason.
> Its just a fact that flooding a labor market with labor will cause working conditions and wages to be lower.

This is.. a drastic oversimplification. Massive amounts of middle class growth in the post-war era was driven by a flood of women, who were previously largely barred from most middle class work, into the workforce. So it's clearly possible to have a sudden influx of workers and not depress wages.

The thing is, more people working means more people making money means more money moving around the market means, in theory, more money being spent on and paid to middle class people. Even Henry Ford understood that, but it's an idea that's lost on the modern liberal establishment on both sides of the American political aisle.

The big differences between then and now have a lot more to do with wealth redistribution than anything else. In the post-war era, until Reagan/Thatcher flipped the table, taxes were far more progressive and the social safety net was growing.

And while women weren't paid as much as men, and still aren't largely, that's nothing compared to the ways in which immigrants are underpaid since so many of them are undocumented, and visa programs are more and more designed to keep their negotiating power as close to zero as possible.
Just a word of warning that Argos is already massive established retail brand in the UK (and some over sees territories). I appreciate naming things is hard so don’t take this as a judgement about what you should do, just be aware that you might run into some trouble there.
I get that that's the biggest problem, but there are plenty of people in the thread talking about how they're a bad idea in general (including the comment I was replying to)—which incidentally lines up with the (apparently) clickbait title "SPAs were a mistake".
Adding more people to a country means there’s more demand, because there’s more people, and people demand stuff. This is also Econ 101 stuff. Consider that as America’s population boomed between, say, 1860 and 1960, from 30M to 150M, instead of everyone becoming 5X poorer as they split the pie among more people, the country got vastly richer and more prosperous - the pie got bigger.
At my company, very much no. We've not changed any emphasis on additional backlog structure or documentation in the last 2 years.

Tribal knowledge, and knowledge transfer presentations and video recordings remains the only way to share knowledge.
> In a VM image, you need a "minimal OS" which has to include the kernel, drivers, required OS binaries + everything that would be in a container.

A docker image and a VM image can be the same.

For example say you have a simple web server that just listens on port 443 and does it's thing; if you compile it statically, and it doesn't need any other files, you don't even need a VM image.

You can simply create an initramfs that contains that executable (nothing else, no drivers, no configuration files, no distribution, nothing).

Just boot the Linux kernel (granted, a custom build that uses built-in modules that the hypervisor actually uses), use proper kernel arguments to either statically or dynamically configure the network stack, and instruct the kernel to use the server executable instead of the `init`. Your server doesn't even know it's running in an "empty" VM.

(Just read about how AWS Lambda implements everything by using Firecracker.)
The other confounding factor to a harmonious discussion is that Western media (taken loosely) has burned a lot of credibility with regards to China. Nearly everything China does is couched in "but at what cost?" terms.

This, quite naturally, leads to the belief that criticism of Russia is overblown, and is rather the West attempting to smear another country that doesn't play by the Western rules. "Don't tell a neighbor how to raise their kids", so it goes.

Also the parallels between Ukraine and Korea are drawn: some Chinese people can see that Russia doesn't want NATO moving up to the border because they didn't want the US doing the same in Korea.

Moreover, Western agitation to provoke the situation is blamed and Ukraine has been tricked by NATO into an alignment that unacceptably threatens Russia but without the commitment to actually defend it. Which, again, doesn't spring from nowhere.
Buddhism is basically (basically) predicated on the idea, I don't see why it's horrible to acknowledge the possibility, especially if it could be true.
8 millions to be precise
Most tools attempt to a mix of both and at least claim that they could detect security violations (especially since you can customize which controls you want to look for).

Your site could really benefit from explaining what your differentiation is. Drawing the "path" sounds very cool, especially if you can do things like showing how an exposed VM could compromise an S3 bucket (via the VM's role).
> The "Dark Night of the Soul"

I've always wondered if there'd be less incidents of that if it didn't have such a sexy name.
It will happen in the next 5 years anyways, so no need to be worried...we just don't know the timing.
I was a freelancer and it was my first gig in the industry. The parent company eventually fired him and in doing so, everyone lost their jobs. True story.
What's a good alternative these days? Especially in NA.
I feel like the left has historically been simply pro immigration, and then somehow race was brought into the conversation. I won't name the party I think responsible.
Why should citizens be punished for the actions of their government? If you're an American, how would you feel about being punished for the repeated war crimes of the US war machine (bringing slaves back to Libya, Iraq invasion and more recently drone striking innocent kids in a car in Afghanistan)?

The average Russian internet company and its developers have no part in this war. I don't see why they should be punished.

It seems like open discrimination and prejudice, no less toxic than people avoiding Chinese restaurants due to the coronavirus.

It's also deeply dangerous. Pushing an adversary into a corner can lead to isolation or further aggression. America has been battering North Korea with sanctions for decades, and they're more isolated than ever. However despicable this is, if the talks and negotiations stop then you should be seriously worried.
Great write-up, and looks like a great product as well, love the dark-mode addition!
Or we could all use Monero. Especially if it’s a situation where using crypto would be illegal anyways (e.g. during a government crisis)
Yes, I agree, it certain situations, under certain circumstances, it helps. But the parent comment was "Crypto fixes that", as if it universally removes all barriers and obstacles, which it most definitely does not.

I would also pose a question, in the case where you have to leave NOW in order to cross that border -- would you rather have all your money in a bank with accounts currently frozen, or have crypto keys stored physically in an apartment or bank in an active war zone that you are unable to reach and faces a real possibility of being destroyed/bombed/flattened at any moment?
> double that for a married couple

Only if your spouse also qualifies, which isn’t necessarily just because they have an ITIN (oh, and it only applies to their income, and not yours…which often won’t work out if your spouse is earning local wages). SS and Medicare aren’t collected on income earned abroad, but you also have to be careful because your credits towards benefits don’t accrue either.

I quickly dropped the FEIE in favor of the foreign tax credit. Turns out I paid more in Chinese taxes than I would have paid USA taxes, and computing the FTC on top of the FEIE was just too complex by hand.
I'm British, so I'm aware of the retailer. Thanks for the warning, we've been assured by many legal professionals that this should not be an issue.
We tell everybody that we are not associated with them and that we are actually named after Argos Panoptes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_Panoptes), the all-seeing giant.
This has been the reality for many of us for many years already.

I used to commute 1 hour every single day to an office building downtown, and my nearest colleague was in another office some 200km away in an entirely different city. Half of the team isn't even in the same time zone as I. Sure I did have other people hired by the same company sitting at desks around me, but we worked with entirely different projects so we never interacted beyond the daily "Morning!" and "Aight I'mma leave, see y'all tomorrow!"

Even my manager was located in the other office some 200km away, so I had no one to report to (be observed by!). My work was and is entirely measured by my contribution to the team, and not by where I happen to be located.

Remote working isn't a new thing that has never been tested before. It's just that you do remote working from home instead of from an office.
Maybe you can't have all three of:

1) a super highly paid tech salary

2) an affordable house

3) a short commute

There are options for any 2/3 all over the world. Nowhere has all 3. You can't pick the two you chose and then get pity for not having the third.
"malfunction"
That is a load of FUD someone fed you. All that really changed was that US funded media like Voice of America wasn't explicitly blocked in the US.

VoA produces pro-US view point media in 46 languages. The most extreme thing they do is air a ton of classes on learning English and broadcast into other countries that don't want it.
The Past, Present, and Future of NFTs– and Why It Will Be Wild
Probably too much reliance on web designers. ;)
I'll take that feedback and make some changes.
You are 100% correct but somehow this truth eludes almost everybody even when explained to them as clearly as you have. I moved past getting annoyed trying to explain things to those who can’t listen, it’s too frustrating.
That is just insane churn. There has to be so much wasted work when so much project knowledge is dropped.

Two years is nothing. You just got warm in your cloths and started to perform.

Edit:
There most be impossible to have a stable engineering "culture" in such companies.
Yeah I once pointed some supply chain software at itself and embarrassed the vendor badly.

90% of it is box ticking.
As far as I can tell, none of Germany, France, or Italy – key countries who'd seemed a bit squishy – have 'eurosceptic' leaders. And I'm not alleging any "secret plan" requiring coordination – some "conspiracy" to hide the certainty of a stronger response – just the normal duplicity & halfheartedness & wishful-thinking of politicians, which you allude to.

That stronger pre-invasion deterrence wasn't popular in "domestic public opinion" is all that it takes, for the private discussions between the national-security establishments & top rulers to go roughly:

PRE-WAR SANCTION HAWKS (eg: US): "They're gonna invade all Ukraine, here's how we know, precommitting to all the tough measures you'd surely do if that happens might deter it."

PRE-WAR SANCTION DOVES (eg: DE): "Well, really-specific toughness up front isn't popular with our voters, & we're still hoping for that tiny chance Putin's just saber-rattling, despite your evidence. So, if what you say materializes, we'd be able to be tougher than Putin expects. But we can't signal that beforehand, no matter the benefits."

Voila. They've hidden their true level of commitment to retaliate economically, under the eventuality we find ourselves in – no fancy multilateral secret plans required.

The flip in Germany, especially, was dizzying, wasn't it? Do you think the whole package was improvised in the preceding few days? Or that it was assembled from preexisting "break in case of fire" emergency plans, at the very top, that lower-ranking party-members & coalition partners simply didn't need-to-know? I'm saying the latter.
> And that's before you consider TVs, cars, and other equipment where apps are also relevant.

Are TV apps really relevant anymore? Chromecast and other similar technologies killed TV apps for me for good.
> Finally, if energy is one of your biggest expenses, you're economically incentivized to reduce those costs as much as possible.

Unfortunately, with Bitcoin (and other Proof-of-Work blockchains), the economic incentive is the opposite: to use as much energy as possible, until the return from the block rewards and transaction fees is smaller than the price you pay for that energy. Reducing the energy costs only allows you to use even more energy before reaching that limit, increasing the total costs again.
I'm always amazed at how many people are experiencing meditation for the first time who do this. It must be like suddenly being arrested and stuck in solitary among lifers.

On a related note, I've enjoyed my time so much staying at temples that the idea of being stuck in solitary for a long stretch is like a weird ambition! If you see my name in the news for a crime you'll know why…
I said no hassle, that was a lot of hassle last time I tried it.
Last time I used jlink it produced a bunch of folders and a shell file to launch. Is it possible to make it a single binary executable instead (preferrably without GraalVM)?

Also I tried to get rid of unused classes using Proguard, but there are zero tutorials for non-Android java apps.
I 100% agree. Somewhere over the last 50 years we went from telling our best and brightest young minds to make the world better to make as much money as you can. We've even aligned our higher education institutions to that goal and not necessarily the greater good. Institutions like Harvard lead the way. They set an example by priorizong financial gains and the health of the endowment and not the greater good.

I've heard it several times here on HN before. The greatest minds of a generation are working on adtech. It's important to also note that the best minds of previous generations spent their careers working on war machines.

I think that is the greatest part of the whole Kennedy Apollo story. It's easy to assume that the decision to go to the moon was the difficult one. There were many reasons leading the US to need to do something during that time to stay in the space race. The big thing Kennedy did for us all was to choose to make it a civilian program and not a military one done in secret.

We are at another inflection point in history now. We can choose to do something great together, as civilians, to bring us together (climate change comes to mind), or we can build more war machines and re arm all of Europe, again. It seems as though we are going to go down that path.
There are plenty of accidental Americans who don’t even realize they are citizens. Also, if you have concurrent Chinese citizenship, you are supposed to renounce one or the other when you turn 18. Pricey, since renouncing citizenship doesn’t come cheap, but at least you’ll avoid the wealth tax if you don’t have any yet. This will be an issue in 10 or so years considering the anchor baby trend in the last decade or so.
I think my question was probably less a matter of, "you have this wrong" and more "what motivates you to think about it from this moral standpoint" or perhaps "is the moral standpoint from which you speak driving the view of the logistical and strategic situation in the region (which forgive me if I'm wrong, is a conflict you are not currently, personally engaged in)"?

I don't understand your moral stake in it. I also don't know your level of experience. Caveat: As I'm neither a military strategist nor a military historian, my understanding of what constitutes a difficult situation military is rather poor. I've certainly never won any wars. But I wonder why you think marching a few hundred miles from your territory into someone elses territory in a week isn't significant. It took the US a couple weeks to take Fallujah, at an arguably far greater mismatch. Not as close, I know, but America was already in the region. I don't know why you think the cost for one city was thousands of vehicles and soldiers. I can imagine I'd lie about those numbers whichever side I was on, if I was involved. I also don't know that these are massive numbers at the scale of modern war. I don't know why you think air superiority was something they needed to have before going in, or something they had to have in a week, when it's quite possible neither of those are true. I imagine we will know the answer to that one shortly. I don't know why you think their supply of munitions are shrinking, when Russia has a decent sized munitions industry. I don't know why you assume their factories rely on foreign parts, when they might very well be quite autarchical in their operation, as opposed to the western manner of global supply chains. I don't know why you assume the status of the ruble in the foreign markets is directly germane to the continued existence of Russia as a country, when again, they might be quite autarchical. After all, Russia is not America. And finally (for your first paragraph) I do not understand how you have come to the conclusion that Russia is in "a geopolitical position so bad that the only thing keeping the rest of the world from absolutely murdering them is a threat to murder the world combined with a reputation so degenerate that people believe they are apt to do it." given that the worlds largest superpower, China, seems to be behind them, and India also does not seem to be terribly opposed. It seems more that half the world seems to support Russia, and it is that half that manufactures most of what the world consumes. I don't know why you believe Russia's reputation to be "so degenerate". I find the language more charged than necessary.

I don't understand how you know what Putin wants is "pacification" when it could very well be surrender, treaty signing, and then departure, or why you judge 5 figure death counts to be "horrifying" when on the scale of modern war (as opposed to "counter-insurgency" and "counter-terrorism") those seem to be rather small.

Above all, and forgive me as I don't know who you are or what kind of stake you have in all this, but I don't understand why you're grandstanding moral about it.
For a long time, Fresh did not directly make a profit. That wasn't it's purpose.

The goal of Amazon fresh was to say "hey UPS! Looks like we can do deliveries all by ourselves without you! Give us a better deal or we'll become your competitor". Because all those deliveries were on Amazon trucks.

Then one day Amazon's delivery needs scaled beyond what UPS was willing to take on. And so Amazon Logistics became a major thing.
Matlab has a had OOP for a long time now. It's actually the language where first learned about classes and it provided a fine foundation to later learn more conventional OOP languages like python and c++. I'd say it's a fine language for exploring robotics or anything science related. Compared to pretty much all the competition, it just gets out of your way in anything math-adjecent.

Somewhat ironically, matlab the application is written in Java.
I'd highly recommend you go read the definition of "slave", as well as the history of slavery around the world.

Focusing on the context of this article specifically, what makes you think that workers of a company worth 1.78 trillion dollars are slaves?
I used to take the "best cards", then went through a phase of "have a plan and skip drops which don't advance that plan." But A20 streams take nearly all drops, but very thoughtfully; they are flexible and their plan adapts to what they are offered. There's no objectively good cards, it is always relative to your deck and relics, and the upcoming boss fight, yet with the Heart fight always in mind.
Try Kotlin. Unlike Scala, it's not really a new language, it's more like syntactic sugar.
