Maybe you are right. But holding ordinary citizens accountable doesn't always work the way we want. That's exactly what the West did with Germans after World War 1.
As someone involved in internet infrastructure I find this particularly upsetting. We should be seeking to connect people even in the worst places to shine light on the problems, not cut them off from the world.

I’m curious what you’re objecting to. Assuming it’s the font weights thing: I expressed it that strongly because what’s written there really is catastrophically, disastrously wrong, so that in any place where it fully takes effect (as I say, its dubious salvation is that most systems won’t do what was requested) all text will be extremely thin, with a fair chance of being genuinely illegible.

It does no one any good to water down code reviews. To be sure, human sensibilities must be taken into account, but prevarication is futile and dilution harmful.

I'd wager that you simply outgrew The Economist. They have remarkable message discipline. After 15 years, you are probably ready for some new slogans.

This seems short sighted.

You want to do the things that hurt the top few percent at the top of Russia, seize the yachts, seize all the endless apartments and condos they have all around the world, NY and Florida, etc. Seize all foreign cars coming into Russia.
Well, if "do the same" is requesting, then yes, everyone - including you and me - can make all kinds of requests to ICANN. But I don't this request would or should be met.
The old processes still exist and are cheap^H^H^H^H^H quite affordable, but only because the cost was amortized long ago and now the equipment is just milked for profit until quality control becomes too difficult. Building them anew is possible, but takes significant investment and time. Which about sums up the issue: many important items in semiconductor engineering have inelastic supply.

Fabs depend on reliable deals with industry customers years ahead, and during Covid they got badly burned on that front by car makers, and now the money flood is unleashed again on the market, but the market can't provide (yet).

Ask HN: MOOC Based on How to Design Programs by UBC
Has anyone done the two part MOOC (now on edX) by Gregor Kiczales from the University of British Columbia that is based on the book How to Design Programs (https://htdp.org/)?
The MOOCs are called:
1. How to Code: Simple Data
2. How to Code: Complex Data

Previously they were called Systematic Program Design 1, 2, ..

How are the courses in comparison to the actual book?

Employee compensation is based on the value they provide to the company. Equity owners are compensated for the risk they take. I don't see any essential correlation between the two.

For example, if you pay Bob $10 to go to the store and buy a lottery ticket for you, and you win the $1m jackpot, do you owe anything more to Bob than $10 worth of value he provided? Let's say the ticket was a dud. Do you therefore owe Bob less than the $10 you promised him?
> If you don't want consequences for your citizens, don't go to war to enact consequences on other countries' citizens.

This kind of reasoning is derived from a representative democracy where the citizens elect a government to look after their best interests. Consequently, the government's ability to stay in power depends on public consensus and approval.

By most indications, Russia seems to be ... not that.
I occasionally see some hospice queries leading to the website in search console. I hadn’t considered the other meanings till I noticed these in the reports.
I've also transferred all of my domains out of Namecheap, not many (15 total) but I won't support a business that blames citizens for their leader and punishes them for something they had nothing to do with.

This is an absolutely pathetic showing that has destroyed a decade of trust in a couple of hours (I bought my first domain from Namecheap in 2012)

As this is now the kind of behavior we can expect of Namecheap, I do not trust them to do the right thing when it comes to upholding their other values (such as the one they mentioned, free speech). This is a CEO who is letting their (justified) emotions make crucial business decisions that do nothing but decay trust.

Epik is jumping for joy right now.
This is just iteration on the awesome groundwork that React laid, and shows that things can still be much better. React has some very peculiar patterns that don't really jive well with javascript as a language, or its ecosystem. If the setInterval example is fundamentally against what React is, then IMO that really hammers the point the author is making. I have a few React projects under my belt, and often times still find myself confused by hooks or the mess that I create when I use them.
When does on_mount run?

React's componentDidMount() is a lifecycle method that runs after a component mounts, once it's been inserted into the DOM. This is in contrast to componentWillMount() (now UNSAFE_componentWillMount(), because it breaks when async rendering is enabled), which is called before the component mounts.

This naming scheme becomes even more important for the update lifecycle methods-- in addition to componentDidUpdate(), there's a shouldComponentUpdate() called before it (where you can return true/false to tell React whether or not to proceed with the update) and UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate(), called between those two.

I have been using F-Droid for about 2 years now as the main source for the few apps that I use and updates are coming through without interaction. Bitwarden/Aegis/Tutanota/Syncthing/K-9 all receive regular updates as far as I've experienced during this time.

I also haven't had issues with update flow. When was the last time you used F-Droid for a prolonged period of time?

It's a valuation, probably from the last funding round[1].

If investors look at a business and agree to buy (let's say) 10% of the company for $1M, then the company has been valued at $100M in a real market situation.

Valuations are not real and don't mean that much about the fundamentals of the business, but they are vital to understanding how investors view the company and what the company has to pull off to get to an exit.

This the first-to-invent rule going out with a bang. Under a change in the law in 2013, the UC Regents never would have had the chance to argue that they were entitled to the claims here because Harvard filed first. Actually, they could still argue that Harvard stole (or "derived") the idea from them. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Under the current law, this interference proceeding never would have happened.
The best approach is probably to have multiple domains from multiple registrars and registries for your website.
Interesting, I have not heard of that! Thanks for the suggestion, I will look it up.
I would agree that permission dialogs are not what we want, on page load, as so many websites do.

A web app should wait until it needs Geolocation or whatever, before prompting you. It should always follow a user interaction. When you click to use some feature, then it prompts you for the permission.

Or an app could have some kind of introductory page where it lists the permissions that it will need, and you click each one that you want to give. Again you do this at your leisure, not upon page load.

I totally get the sentiment, but it will be the worst thing that west can do right now. Russia been practicing and preparing for a while to "sovereign internet", i.e. total disconnect from rest of the internet and operating independently.

If ICANN/RIPE will shut things down, it will give to Russian government excellent excuse to totally disconnect from rest of the world
I'm sorry. I still don't get it.

I was never read Goodnight Moon as a child, so I have no sense of nostalgia for the book. And despite the overwhelming pressure society places on me reading it to my toddler, neither of us have any meaningful connection to the book.

In contrast, you had A.A. Milne, Dr. Suess, and Dorothy Kunhardt all publishing some amazing (and radical!) children's books over decade earlier!

Thanks Amir! Would love to hear your ideas / questions, you can reach me at dan@heycadence.com
They absolutely should have. But this is a pretty tense situation with hundreds of thousands of people trying to get out and many people that are refused exit are getting belligerent. Ukraine has decreed a mandatory immediate conscription and obviously that should only be for Ukrainian citizens. It's a very messy situation at the border, waiting times right now are decreasing a bit because there are no more id checks on the Ukranian side (like there were before) so hopefully the flow of refugees will speed up, the wait earlier today was 60(!, not a typo) hours.

This incident likely happened at the Polish border where the lines were longest and there were the most problems, if anybody is still trekking towards the border and they have the choice between Hungary, Romania or Poland I would advise to take the Hungarian or the Romanian route because the lines there are - from what I hear - considerably shorter and there are less problems at those borders.
Unfortunately, that is not the customer's problem. But yes, Namecheap has every right to irreversibly damage their brand, of course.
The MS antitrust ruling was that MS can license Windows to Dell, but Dell ultimately gets to configure the OS for their own customers, including replacing the web browser. This doesn't apply easily to Apple who does not license their OS: Apple is both MS and Dell in this analogy.

It applies to Google through Android. Amazon sells a Fire TV, which uses AOSP; but now Google's licensing forbids Amazon from also offering an Android TV product.

Perhaps Apple should face antitrust action, perhaps not, but the MS ruling doesn't really apply as Apple does not license their software. The ruling was meant to empower OEMs and Apple IS the OEM.

> If you were forced to trade stocks for a living

Since you're not, the rest doesn't follow.

For example, I played poker when I was younger. I routinely did much worse than mathematically expected. I suspect I was being cheated by the other players, but I wasn't savvy enough to know how they were cheating me. My solution was to stop playing poker.

I know that when I trade stocks, I'm getting chiseled. So I don't day trade. I buy and hold, and rarely make a trade. Hence, the chiseling doesn't amount to much.

Carbs.
Poorly thought out policy (migrate domains in 1 week?) made in the heat of the moment when everyone has a better place to be directing their attention. Expect a reversal within 72 hours but a permanent loss of customer trust (I have five domains with Namecheap but for the first time ever I’m now wondering if that’s smart).
Disappointing to hear that mobile disk encryption is subpar, I have heard of stuff like Cellebrite but didn't know much about it.

> An open source program maintained in the open by the users of that program is going to be safer than a hostile proprietary program kept in the sandbox of Flatpak, Snap or whatever.

The number of users who have the motivation (let alone skill) to maintain their programs is approximately zero. This is how you get vulnerabilities like the log4j ones that have almost unlimited exposure to the whole machine. This is how you get malware from npm packages. OSS works as long as lots of people are constantly paying close attention, but that's a tall order for the majority of OSS. "Just use a massive OSS project" isn't even feasible in many real use cases. So no, I don't think it's safer.
For the same reason that developers build iOS-exclusive apps all the time.
I don't know if it's still true nowadays but Gandi was started by a group of hackers / Internet libertarians who were involved (as defenders) in the very first cases of Internet censorship in France.

>It's not a PR move. If my arm is being injured, I move to protect it. I'm sure you would, too.

Stop doing business with Russians who have no power over Putin is not really "mov[ing] to protect" an injured arm. It's more like an angry wail. Which, fair enough. It's a perfectly understandable desire. I'd probably feel the same way if I were a Namecheap employee in Ukraine. But it doesn't really do anything to protect Ukraine's interests.
Way overpriced compared to other alternatives like the Odroid Go Advance which costs less than 1/3, runs Linux, can emulate plenty of other gaming platforms, and by having a gpio connector exposed to the outside and thoroughly documented hardware seems a really interesting hacking platform. Also, it employs both a RockChip RK3326 and a ESP32 module.

It is spooky, but I was excited to see it on my machine, since it could be a cool opportunity.
Yeah this is correct. The trick to this is that the subscriptions happen in our JSX and hooks. And really is just a nested tree of `createEffects` if one ever re-evaluates or is disposed it releases its child computations. So while the lifecycle isn't tied to components it is still hierarchically structured. Ie.. places where logic can branch becomes the owning scope, like conditionals or loops. So Signals like count don't really matter where they live and will live as long as in scope or referenced, the rendering still largely defines how long things are around.
Personally I am glad I stopped doing business with a business that takes a snap political stance such as this.

I left Namecheap for their price increases years ago. Their names are not cheap by any means. But that's beside the point.

The timeframe they've laid out is ridiculous, for starters. If I had any .su domains with them (which I've always thought were pretty cool relics of the internet) I would be PISSED and SCRAMBLING to make changes right now... Not fun.

If you're in business, do business.

If you're in politics, do politics.

I am extremely happy with porkbun for anyone looking to move away from Namecheap.

For the record, I am 50% Ukrainian.

Shame on you, Namecheap.

The same 10s of thousands of Ukrainians are taking up arms: to protect their country and fight for a more free future.

If you've ever been an employer, you'd know that you have exactly zero power over your employees. They can and do quit whenever it strikes their fancy. Employee turnover is a constant problem for every business. This applies to min wage workers on up to million dollar workers.

The only real difference is the million dollar ones give notice, and the min wage workers just stop showing up.
You may have missed it in the heat of the moment, but the invasion and the war are already in full swing - by Russia. No matter what you decide, the war and the invasion are already there.
Even if there is rebelion at the end of the tunnel, right now it's just meaningless, endless suffering which also provokes extreme nationalism that the war can feed on.

Also, if anyone think it is acceptable to torture average, perhaps actively anti-war citizens to achieve the goal, I can only wish that you get the one chance in a lifetime to experience what it means and takes to survive in an authoritarian country and try making yourself a hero. I'm not Russian but let me put it this way: it is not about your life to sacrifice or your own fear to overcome. Your whole family and friends, they are all on the stake and the cops or whatever will absolutely go after them to break you. Or they do it for fun. They really do.
I think the difference is namecheap has a non insignificant number of employees in Ukraine.
One example that comes to mind is how the Japanese wikipedia page for Iizuka Kozo wouldn't put a single reference to the Higashi-Ikebukuro runaway car accident he caused (not even a link to the separate wikipedia page for it) until after he was sentenced, because the wikipedia rules are such as to avoid these legal problems. His name wasn't even mentioned on the runaway car accident page either.

Liberate from who? We have a russian-speaking president of Jewish origin who is voted by 73% of the population, most of them from the russian-speaking South East. All of the ultra right wing nationalist parties could not even get into the Parliament. Putin calls nazis everyone who is against his plans to fulfill his dreams about rebuilding the empire. Today (Feb 28) he was bombing the russian-speaking cities, the population he said he wants to free from some imaginary "nazis".
