What about a list of open-source projects in the Ukraine to support?

Of course I'd chip in a few bucks to sponsor companies on GitHub. But I can imagine there are enterprise companies that work in an OSS repo that are going to have bad resource problems and may struggle to survive (literally).

I realize there's an issue with a learning curve, and I'm just a dumb tech writer, but I'd seriously throw a few hours a day triaging out GitHub issues or doing whatever else I could to help.
Damn, that could turn ugly for so many people. Now we're all playing Five Degrees of Vladimir Putin.
What do you suggest people do? Get on the phone with their congressperson and have them send in a bomber squadron? As far as immediate impact, reporting this in the hopes that it gets taken down seems about as good as anything feasible at the moment.

Inefficiencies in the developer experience show up as frustrations for developers. Developers are very happy to tell you what frustrates them and how badly.

Often what frustrates people is a latency, which is something you can measure and track. Other times it is an ugliness, surprising footgun, or lack of conceptual integrity - these are fundamentally human experiences, and subjective assessment is the only way.
I have my own one: *.tel (my name is *tel). My email is *@*.tel; lots of people get it. Life is good.
Seems worth mention that such a contract is often not enforceable. In typical cases, all it takes is a written note saying you are terminating the contract, at the time or any time after you leave. If they are not paying you anymore, there is no "consideration" so (anyway under US law) no remaining basis for a contract.

Sometimes the contracting company has a deal with the de facto employer forbidding them to hire anybody who was once contracted to them. Those also can often be set aside, even without notice to the former de jure employer. Governments are often hostile to contract provisions interfering with somebody's right to have a job in their field.

The State Duma will meet on March 4 over criminalizing "unofficial" information about the invasion.

I find Wikipedia to be more impartial, or less biased than most, if not all media. It doesn't exactly paint the same moral boosting picture of Russia being on the losing side. Obviously the Russian leadership is only interested in advertising this invasion as a measured and justified act, denying the humanitarian impact and potential war crimes.
Probably if you apply the same polls some folks in Texas they would also want to become independent from the US.
It seems more like field officers and quartermasters have had every incentive to lie about readiness and equipment. Audits of the same have the same incentive to lie. So on paper a unit has tons of equipment in working order. In reality maintenance hasn't been performed, spares have been sold off under the table, and in general most of the paperwork is faked.
I guess the point is, given the eye balls RISC-V is going to attract, you'd have your Tencents and Apples of the world pouring resources into it, just like they did with AARCH64. And when that happens, where does ARM, as a company, go? They did to Intel what RISC-V is poised to do to them, may be in a decade or two.

I feel ARM could go the Docker way, who faced a similar foe in the stakeholders seeking to commoditize their core business... ruthlessly stomped on them, creating k8s, runc, registries, microvms, serverless, and what-not. Despite Docker having stellar engs working for them (and in some cases, better tech: Swarm, for instance), there's nothing they could do.
Webapps are already protected with the same privacy and security protocols the browser imposes on webpages. What can a native app possibly do that's such an egregious invasion of privacy that a webpage can't do? Filesystems are encapsulated, hardware apis require permission, and cameras now have a nice active indicator. What can anything possibly do anymore that hasn't been fixed in all of web2?
How does Solid avoid the need for user-provided keys? I thought it also had to diff the underlying array. Does it check object identity?
I don't expect you to care, but wow I'm tired of car analogies. They're usually worse than simply talking about the subject at hand.

It's not at all like that. I pay a one-time fee to BMW to get a seat warmer feature, they're not constantly improving or updating them in my car. They're in my car and they're on or off. If they break and I value them, I pay to have them fixed.

MDN is updated often and I it makes my job easier. It makes constantly evolving spec much more digestible. I'd sorely miss it if it were gone tomorrow. It's a service, not a one-off feature.

Hi! I'm Andy and I have 12 years experience in a wide variety of roles - web applications with a variety of technologies and desktop applications and networking applications with C++.

I have been at my last role for about 5 years and am looking for a change to focus on a Senior Full Stack Engineer role.

Location: Toronto, ON
Remote: Yes
Technologies: Laravel, VueJS, React, Python, Node

Email me at (as42 at fastmail dot com).
Web pages without JS are web pages that are served faster, render faster and consume considerably less power.

Incidentally, the biggest mistake the web 'committee' did was to make a web-components spec that mandatorily requires javascript even for a basic 'hello world' label. That made it strictly a no-go for many domains where HTML/CSS generation/rendering is accepted but JS is not.

I am in hard-favour of approaches towards UX components without JS.
I was calling russian army a paper tiger for a long time, citing immense corruption and deterioration of all public institutions in Russia under Putin. Military isn't public, but that's just more opportunities for corruption and theft.

My opponents usually disagreed, pointing to a big military budget and some modern-ish new weapons shown here and there. No, they do look cool at a show or a parade, but does the personnel know how to use it? Are they built en masse? Is the quality good enough? (With all that corruption!)

Turns out, things are even worse then I imagined, but in the hindsight it shouldn't be surprising: this is far from the first time in history when decaying russian institutions and imperial hubris had led Russia to a disastrous war, which was planned as a 'small victorious' one: Crimean War (1853), Japan war (1905), Winter war with Finland (1940), Afghanistan war (1980), Chechena war (1994).

Now Putin has one of his own. I hope his regime will crumble in the fallout from a resounding defeat.

You dont have to believe me, when all I do is ask a question. If your position is so weak you can't answer the question well, that's a problem and not simply proof that I'm a "troll".
I was lucky enough to know him. Brilliant, hard-working, soft-spoken.
This is a reactive plan, not an aggressive plan as Putin's apparently is. It is not the same.

After the events of the last few days, it would seem you are quite mistaken if you think the west as a whole is interested in "developing a peaceful solution together" with Russia. We are first and foremost extricating our economy entirely from Russia at least in the short to medium term. I think you fail to grasp that this is now being seen as an idealogical conflict, not a conventional rivalry between fundamentally like-minded foes. At least as long as the current Russian regime is in power.
I love that anti-pattern. It gets people thinking. It’s not like anyone is gonna download that script, find out what the script downloads, and then read every line of the whole project and its dependencies to see if one of them installs a rootkit.
Thank you for the perfectly succint answer, it's clear as day now.

When I finally migrated my account on a computer I hadn’t used minecraft on before, I had to log in to my Microsoft account on the MS store to activate the app before I could launch the downloaded installer. If I tried to launch the installer without having done that, I’d get an esoteric error. This whole migration has been janky and unnecessary. Yet another reminder as to Microsoft’s incompetence

That's part of the reason ARM will be very hard to displace. Just like there is a ton of x86 code out there in the server world that's not going anywhere. There is a ton of ARM code (especially peripheral driver code) out there in the uC world. And much, probably most, of it is not open source and not actively maintained.

The good news is compute and memory are getting so cheap it's probably not long until RISCV cores just emulate ARM and solve the problem, all inside a greeting card at a profit...
Intel also had the advantage at the time of a clear process advantage which almost certainly would have more than offset the decoder cost.
Looks great to me, I zoom out twice (80%) by default, often going a third (67%) per site; this looks nice to me at 100%.

I'll get there one day I suppose and should enjoy it while it lasts, but for now most stuff really does look comically large and content-less.

Received your cold LinkedIn message... founder to founder, spending time on building a better product is always going to yield better results than scraping your competitor's launch announcement to send cold messages to all their commenters.

If you are going to reach out, I've always found it helpful when a company speaks to their differences and in a positive tone, rather than throwing shade.
Of course it's trashy. Everything is. Many readers of HN are well aware that most of software is shit. It's not surprising that this extends to military equipment too.

> It's not that it has to be 'better' than the best $12 bbq joint you've ever been to, just different

The high-end places are not only about 'better' food per se. It's all about the ingredients, the preparation, the presentation, the uniqueness [of the dishes, menu, ingredients, etc] and perhaps as or more important than the food itself is the level of service. Combined, it's the full experience you're paying for, not just 'better' or 'different' food. Essentially, you are paying significantly more to sort of 'upgrade' everything about the entire dining experience. It is not only about the food (Though the food is indeed very important).
You are correct, the data is not client side encrypted. Data entry is either manual, or for many major brokerages we offer a drag/drop import of CSVs. There is also a generic CSV upload capability.

Good valid points here though on being in the privacy 'middle ground'. There is some trust involved with having your transaction data live on our server, and that we execute correctly on our promise of only extracting transaction data from the (optional) CSV upload process.

Your comments have sparked some ideas on how we could go deeper in the privacy direction, so thanks for taking the time!

EDIT: Noted on the landing page having more emphasis on the full asset type support, thanks for the feedback.
There's nothing problem-solving about it - they either know some obscure CSS tag or they don't. You're not really testing any skills at all with the question.

Russia has roughly the same GDP as Texas.

I feel like the US military would have to be completely incompetent to not be able to easily dismantle them at this point considering the size of their budget.

I can't help but think they are planned opposition at this point, whether willing or unwilling.
The point is that they should have one. The fact that they are using services like these indicate that they do not, or that it is poorly implemented and not accessible to the right people on the ground invading Ukraine.

After seeing the relatively poor performance of the Russian military this past week I'm not surprised but I would have been surprised two weeks ago.
I cant tell if people are actually unable to see the value in this question, or if pretending it has no value is their way of trying to fight it. Its getting to the point where humans are appearing more bot like than bots. You appear to be completely blind to reality. You think I asked the question to "obscure the issue at hand"? What If I asked the question to make OP think for a second and realize his moral position is random and inconsistent, in hopes that it wakes him up and he stops being a human bot that repeats whatever the last 17 people around him told him to think.

The email encryption tools available are not ergonomic or easy to set-up and maintain. It presents a steep learning curve that requires special plugins or email clients / search tools as the giants don’t have good support for it.

I have a feeling that Gmail could virtually single-handedly make E2E email encryption a standard practice with good UX, but they would rather be able to read your email.
Eh, the Russians having sloppy opsec on US services is fine with me.
Me too!

But even when writing /bin/sh, I don't see why this would get in the way? I was once told earlier Unix didn't even have fork, but something more purpose-made for shells instead.
Thanks, I'll send an email!

FYI these reports are being escalated very quickly.
After several decades of using GUI-based debugging in MSVC++ and CLion, I can't bring myself to regress back to command-line debugging. And sadly the GUI tools for GDB are abysmal.

Recently I had to debug some bootloader code in QEMU, which provides a remote GDB port. I tried every GDB GUI and they all either (A) assumed that I would provide source code to the target code (it's a binary blob bootloader, which I don't have code for) or (B) flat out didn't work. I ended up using TUI mode, which has it's own problems (messes up my terminal when I disconnect/reconnect the GDB port)
I chose this comment, out of many, to add/ contribute...for me, its a 10/ 90% split. Read article/ comments, that is.
Too many times, the actual articles are only just bearable (from the presentation of the website to the actual meaning of the words used), whereas the broad discussions and resulting nit-picking they generate leave me feeling so much more informed.
is it better to delete the tags and have them move off to alternative methods, or allow them to use the tags so people know where they will strike next?
Sloppy approach is, well, callously sloppy, because the stakes are that high.

I don’t know if this is obvious to you or not, but this does not sound like a problem for merchants in most parts of the world. US sales tax is insane and not representative of most jurisdictions, globally speaking.

I’m not saying you couldn’t use Taler in the US - after all, sales taxes work for cash transactions which also anonymous for the buyer. I’m saying if you want to get automatic correct taxation of merchants, perhaps it’s a good idea to run your experiment outside the US.
