> They got their act together in 1991,

Not according to mr Putin, his view is that the whole Russian nation suffered humiliation by the West in the 90s and now is the time to retaliate by taking back Ukraine.
It's definitely possible that there were other factors in play. I hope you see the danger or irony of automatically assuming that the Japanese interviewer rejected you because of their racial bias.
It's crazy to me to see people saying "this doesn't exist because I've never seen it". Here's a good rule to live by: privilege is invisible to those who have it. Just think about that.

I'm not Indian so can't speak to that experience but discrimination masquerading as "culture fit" is just as rampant in Silicon Valley as it is in the rest of the US. This includes racism, ageism, misogyny and classism. If you don't think MIT/Stanford grads in their mid 20s at Big Tech companies have more doors open to them you're crazy.

There is a tendency in the West to view all minorities as somehow being the same. Like all Africans are somehow viewed the same in many ways despite their being significant cultural, religious and language differences that go back centuries. The same is true in Asia (eg a lot of Chinese in Malaysia face significant discrimination such that they end up going to university overseas because they can't locally).

So a deeply ingrained caste system like India's I can totally believe doesn't magically disappear because those raised in that system now happen to live and work in the United States.

This is also true in C++ templates, and C macros for that matter.
For severely disabled children most parents hope to outlive their kids because they know that nobody will give them a parent's love when they are gone, even with Satya Nadella-level money. There have been some (tragic? bittersweet? I don't know) cases where an aging parent of a disabled child kills the child and then kills themselves to ensure that their kid doesn't get institutionalized after they're gone.
In the long run present day nominal GDP doesn't matter. For example, after world war I Germany had a very bad economic situation. Land, natural resources and culture matter. Russia is the largest country on Earth. China is the largest population and largest economy. India is a close second. The fact is Eurasia does not need the North Atlantic Empire.

Time will tell but much of the vaunted "Western" prosperity is a fading high from the now 70 year old post war era. It is not inevitable that America leads forever.

I wouldn't be too cocksure.

Also, things like population trends or nominal GDP are very changeable over the course of short decades. What matters is resources, land and will and unity of purpose.

A key difference is that Chinese citizens, soldiers, and leaders won’t lionize against the state. Nationalism is total. But no doubt China is taking notes.
I often wonder about that - if I was going to write by hand I might end up extracting a simple interface, do some type coercion/promotion or some other trick to reduce the number of functions I need to write.

I read about how .Net does Generics at the VM level and was very impressed, a good compromise between C++ "macro expansion" and Java "type erasure", both of which seem extreme.

At the end of the day, though, when generics are present I stop worrying and just use List<int>, List<float>, List<char>, etc. without a second thought. The compiler, VM or runtime can deal with it although I might get punished in some way.
Was feeling sombre about this thread but this randomness made me laugh
I wonder how much heat can be extracted from Amsterdam's canals? It's pretty rare they freeze to begin with.

Maybe could be even used as geothermal heat distribution system or is it extremely vulnerable for the 3 remaining fish that live there?
Except that it's actually in direct contrast with Android development, where the tools are available, for actually free, for Windows, Linux, and Mac. And the developer account is a one time $25.

My personal situation: I wanted to add an iOS client for the game I've been developing in Flutter. I did not have a mac or an iphone already. Fortunately, I've been able to borrow them for builds and occasional testing. But, that's obviously not optimal, and there's zero good reason that Apple couldn't provide their build tools for other platforms. Instead, they leverage their monopoly on the app store to force hardware sales to developers.
Sometimes when I complain about small aspects of my comfortable life, I need to look around and see people like Satya, who was able to not just juggle but be extraordinary in both his personal and professional lives. I just cant imagine how he did it. A true inspiration.
> They did subjugate Chechnya. In fact they were so effective that now their shock troops in Ukraine are Chechens

They leveled Chechnya and finally had to cut a deal with Ramzan Kadyrov and his father to get him to switch sides in exchange for putting him in charge. I don't see a Kadyrov like figure popping up in Ukraine.

> this is Ukraine's real birth

Nestor Makhno would have probably disagreed with you.
Right now Ukrainians seem to have the javlins and stingers. Plus, I'm pretty sure they know everything US intelligence knows.
I personally have given up playing Minecraft the official way (this coming from someone who paid for the game 10 years ago and has hosted multiple private servers.)

First they destroyed the launcher, replacing with some Chrome based garbage that had more dependencies than the game itself and now this. Microsoft just eats things and their brand smells like death.
Fellow outsider here. Got curious and did some searching; would love to hear from some real Indian folks to confirm or deny this line of reasoning.

As non-Indians, it seems we exist outside the system, which could be ambiguously interpreted to either have no connotation at all, or to exist at the bottom of the social strata. [1]

Anecdotally, the kind of treatment you'll get in practice depends a lot more on your race and national origin. [2]

Their point is that the invation is for a reason. Whether you agree or not, a lame snarky sacarastic comment doesn't change that.

If interviewing is considered a normal job function, isn't not allowing certain people to interview certain people a violation of EEO laws by discriminating based on a protected class(national origin)? Unless you have some specific knowledge that an employee just can't handle people of nationality X, I would be very hesitant to institute OP's advice, at least in the US.
I don’t think so, at least not necessarily, because they are not part of Russia’s historical core. He surely would like to have them back in Russia’s sphere of influence, but I don’t think they are essential to restoring Russia’s greatness. Ukraine is in another category.
I don't live in China. The Chinese are many miles away. I am not worth nuking, and I am not at risk of being involved in a genocide.

I live in a surveillance state. I don't really like being surveilled. Big companies share data between each other, and it influences my ability to do things like obtaining a house, or getting insurance.

The Chinese have nothing to do with my data. Western companies, on the other hand, can make a good deal of profit from data in aggregate, and don't care if it harms other people.

The Chinese stick to their own people (and what they believe to be China). Western companies, on the other hand, will track everyone on the globe, without any consent at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearview_AI

I don't use Chinese software; it's just that the person's claim isn't nearly as insane as you're making it out to be. They're acting more rationally than you are, here. It's not Chinese scaremongering or anti-anti-Chinese scaremongering to acknowledge that China can't really do much to the average Western citizen in aggregate.
Prof. Sabine Hossenfelder has a great article on the lack of progress in fundamentals of physics: "The present phase of stagnation in the foundations of physics is not normal " [1]

Choice quotes:

>We know this both because dark matter is merely a placeholder for something we don’t understand, and because the mathematical formulation of particle physics is incompatible with the math we use for gravity. Physicists knew about these two problems already in 1930s. And until the 1970s, they made great progress. But since then, theory development in the foundations of physics has stalled. If experiments find anything new now, that will be despite, not because of, some ten-thousands of wrong predictions.

>Ten-thousands of wrong predictions sounds dramatic, but it’s actually an underestimate. I am merely summing up predictions that have been made for physics beyond the standard model which the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was supposed to find: All the extra dimensions in their multiple shapes and configurations, all the pretty symmetry groups, all the new particles with the fancy names. You can estimate the total number of such predictions by counting the papers, or, alternatively, the people working in the fields and their average productivity.

According to her, and many other physicists, there hasn't been any major progress in phenomenology since 1970s when Higgs boson was postulated.

With a cluster bomb/submunitions, you should see a bunch of impacts all at the same time, in this video the impacts all seem to be spaced apart at a rate similar to the fire rate of a grad.

With the frame rate and resolution of the video, it isn't surprising that it's hard to see a rocket.

The rockets look like fragmentation warheads, you can see a lot of shrapnel get thrown off on each impact, frag explosions won't look as large or bright as other kinds of HE warheads.

There is a gap where GDB changed terminal interaction protocol and (on Debian) left cgdb behind, so I had to build my own copy of cgdb from source. Otherwise, smooth sailing.
They refer to a crisis in a sense Thomas Kuhn used. The point where paradigm shift is needed. Physics has experience with it. General relativity theory was a paradigm shift following a crisis.

It’s also a general pattern that follows from human assortative mating. Then add to that inheritance laws and over the centuries the upper classes can acquire serious cumulative advantages. Of course it occasionally backfires, such as in the case of Habsburg inbreeding.

I feel the same way. I wasn't sure if Russia had some long-game tactical advantage I was hitherto unaware of and wanted to ask.
You are not correct when you say “without provocation”. The UKR government had been assaulting its own ethnically-Russian citizens in Donbass four 8 years. Russia went in to stop that. There are many journalistic documents that prove those societies.

Note that with this change, only "gcshapes" are static at runtime. Any other information reflection needs would have to come from the dictionary. That would bloat the dictionaries.
I've been saying this for days. If Apple, Google and Microsoft remotely wiped and bricked their devices, that would cause devastation that would make all those financial sanctions look like a picnic. I mean, for crying out loud, apparently russian soldiers are using google maps for targetting, so that would also save some ukrainian lives too.
> Based on rough usage patterns, we assumed an average iOS engineer does around five clean builds and 30 incremental builds each day

Why five clean builds a day? That seems like a lot. Any iOS devs care to chime in?

I've lost both of my parents already (I'm 46), but if I ever lost my son I couldn't take it. Reading about anyone losing their kids is painful since I became a parent myself.
> I have no idea why.

Me, too, but in my case I do know why - when my son was born (2 months premature), we had a lot of health scares with him and my wife insisted on singing that song to him over and over again.
a skin in some of these games is $10 or more. Even as someone who might conceivably be tempted (I've bought stuff for TF2 before), there's a point where it's just an obviously bad use of your money. 20 bucks is a nice dinner out, I'm not spending that on a skin.

Maybe I am just stuck in 2012 but $2-3 is about the limit for me for a skin. "Unusual" hats (particle effects) in TF2 are basically the original NFT, they are unique items with a very limited number in existence, and they are worth more, but I'm not going to pay $10-20 for the same skin as a million other players.

Of course that's why they've started tying them to gameplay, like Rainbow 6 Siege and Battlefield 2042 "operators"... it's taken studios a long time but they've finally gotten us to bite on "pay to win" by framing it as player choice.

(although I guess DLCs/expansions having OP weapons that beat the base game is nothing new, but charging $10 or $20 a pop for each unit is new.)
Countries have borders, we invest a lot of money in our children and people and would like a return on that investment. In order for that to be possible we have to reject the people who would abuse the system.
Genode OS Framework release 22.02
One day it occurred to me that I can tell if someone is from India, but that I'd never considered to notice more nuances than that, for such a big country with so many groups of people.

I have just begun to notice, but I have no idea about the identity politics. I recall in college that some of my friends from India would fawn over certain last names, and I felt it was something to do with the caste system, but I had concluded that the people I was around in universities and in the workforce were mostly from a level of privilege that it wouldn't be possible to learn more. I always found Indian nationalism to be strange, where so many people would interject that everything is perfect. Makes it easier for me to avoid my own US nationalism, because it must be just as comical to others.

In this article it mentions Dalit. How many people from that group would be in Silicon Valley, is it impossible to know since it is insensitive to ask and disastrous for them if people did know?

Seems like there is a potential for solidarity amongst more vocal groups pushing for representation.
> Then they’ll equally happily lend money on good interest so they can rebuild.

Sfntly – Library for Using, Editing, and Creating SFNT-Based Fonts
Thank you!

IIRC it used to work just fine, but it hasn't for a minute. There is some weird handling with ESC, as most of the time it is the start of a longer sequence, so I probably just messed something up in that while refactoring.

Will look into it when I have the time, thank you!
Is this still so? I know that in the earlier days of `position: sticky` it didn’t play well with tables (with I think the same limitations on non-tables using `display: table` et al.), but my understanding matches https://caniuse.com/css-sticky, that Firefox’s limitation in that area has been fixed for four years, and Chromium’s for ten months.
My wife is from the area and she did "spud harvest" as it is called. You are correct it is a pretty good income, my wife would regularly walk away with 3-4k which considering just a week of work isn't bad.

Heck I've thought about taking a week off to do spud harvest, take a chance to get out of the office and do something physical for once.
Ukraine has the time, in the sense that each day that the Russian army is delayed there are more chances that someone in Russia will decide to get rid of Putin. This is roughly what happens to every dictator that doesn't know when to stop, and usually dictators are so much self confident that they soon lose any contact with reality. Putin has gone too far and now he can't withdraw because that would be his political death, and can't drag things for too long because of the above reason, therefore he hopes to bring Ukrainians to their knees as quick as possible, but that can't be achieved without hitting indiscriminately lots of civilians, therefore no matter how it ends, he's already fucked.
Also, he presumably knows all skeletons in the closet kept by the oligarchs, so it's very likely that if an international arrest warrant is issued, he'll rather be executed in Russia than surrendered.
> I know YMMW, but for me and most of my colleagues it's 1-2 clean build per day and 30 incremental... per hour, sometimes.

Yeah, this doesn't make any sense for me either... I only do clean builds of any of my software when I am working on the build system itself or am cutting releases (so I'd measure them on a small handful per week), and I'm constantly doing incremental builds so quickly it is essentially a pipeline: I don't even wait for the build to finish before I'm making more changes. Why are they doing so many clean rebuilds?
Well I guess we finally know where the bar is set for apple.
Then charge fees for those services based on actual free market supply and demand! Don’t assess everyone a tax based on the perceived unrealized value of the property.

UPDATE: also, read up on the differences between property tax and land use tax. They are different.

‘Nother Update: also, the government should stop encouraging property ownership as an investment for your future and retirement (tax breaks for mortgages, low interest rates, planned inflation) and then charge taxes on the hugely inflated value of that property.

Also, most property taxes are local state-level taxes, and most state-level congresspeople have to have a side gig to stay afloat. Guess what that side gig is: Real estate. Many are realtors and developers. They have a vested interest in raising property taxes to get people selling houses.
And how often do you import those assets to find they don't work correctly in your game? That they need a different shader, renderer, lighting or additional configuration? How often do they fail to blend in with other prefabs?

If enough people call it a war, then then there won't be room to fill all the prisons. Putin can't put millions of people in prison. He also won't kill millions of his own people.

Your life is already under threat, you really don't have a choice or any other options but to rid yourselves of this madman.

The only downsides to to the Steam marketplace is it hasn't caught on very much outside of Valve's own titles, and you can only cash out to store credit, which has resulted in third party trading sites that run on top of the steam marketplace to emerge such as marketplace.tf, which relies on trusting the site not to swindle you. Both of those are fairly small issues, I think the trickier part is creating an environment/reason for anyone to care about the digital items that are for sale.
While there is plenty to criticize about our previous strategic decisions in this area, no gas has ever flown through NS2. There's a lot of bad faith arguments going around here.

NS2 was controversial in Germany from the start, it was a bad idea politically because it weakened the position of the eastern european states. But it was not the bogeyman than many made it out to be.

Germany needs gas for heating, and heating is not optional. Heating is also expensive, and making it more expensive for strategic reasons is a very hard thing to sell.
Why wouldn't they? China and Russia are not natural allies and they both have an interest in maintaining influence over energy-rich Central Asia.

Russia invading Ukraine gives China license to further deepen its relations with its neighbours, without worrying too much about Russian blowback.

It's the same situation as when the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. China got a get out of jail free card in terms of ramping up military and establishing territorial claims in the South China Sea. No kerfuffle with the US, who were simply too deep into a quagmire to care.
My mom is being treated for resistant schizophrenia and she’s in a rehab. I get to talk with her only when the Counsellor is on duty.

When I visited my mom last month, she was complaining she doesn’t like 8 people ward coz of zero privacy and the need to share washrooms. She’s been brought up as a princess and was highly pampered, being everyone’s favorite, and finds it tough staying in such accommodations. She told me she wanted a single room to herself. I told her it’s not good staying alone, we will get you into a double occupancy room, so there’s someone in the room in case something untoward happens.

Today, she called me via the Counsellor today after a week, and the call got disconnected in about a few seconds coz of bad network.

I later called up the hospital but the Counsellor had left. However, I had her shifted from an 8 people ward to a 4 people ward today. It’s because the rehab administrator advised that we have 4 people ward as well if you wanna consider. I said ask mom and see what she like - 4 sharing or 2 sharing. The admin called up 10 min and said your mom was okay with 4 sharing, and we have moved her there.

Tomorrow, I will call her to ensure she’s comfortable in 4 sharing and if she does not like, next month I move her to 2 sharing.
