The apparent disregard of the risk of nuclear war that is evident in a lot of the internet commentary around the Ukraine war can only be worrying.

Many people are willing to at least declare in internet posts that they think the risk of a nuclear war is worth taking in order to better help the people of Ukraine.

Thankfully the people running countries are treating the issue more seriously. But it is still concerning that such a careless and foolish attitude is being aired. It is inarguable that there is more political pressure on leaders now to act rashly with regard to a topic that needs the most careful handling.
I'm with you in the "prefer instant annihilation" camp.

Here's all the places that a nuclear strike would hit: https://i0.wp.com/www.armenpogharian.com/wp-content/uploads/...

Looks like the only survival strategy is "live in the west, away from major cities and away from nuclear launch sites."
> and then realized all our CS buddies had double our base salaries for objectively easier work.

One thing I realised as a graduate student designing RF PCBs and digital circuits was that the debugger for reality sucks. It's really frustrating to be faced with a problem where you just can't get "more information by recompiling with debug flags" and can't easily (or reversibly!) change the system to make it easier to understand. Totally different skillset, and requires a different method of thinking (frankly, at times, with a lot more thought).
We bought them before we joined NATO.
Romania is a former member of the Warsaw Pact and has therefore still MIGs in service.
Yeah it definitely would. Historically, to OP's hesitation, databases & data warehouses haven't purchased BI tools, application layers, etc. But this is starting to change (e.g. Databricks bought Redash, an open source BI platform)

But where is the source for the wasm part (written in Rust)? In the page itself there's only an oneliner_bg.wasm file
I know that some important journalist/publication fell for the Sam Hyde hoax a couple of days ago, and I've seen the original tweet, but the hoax part of it wasn't in the article you linked, so imo it is a bad example.

The article just talks about foreigners enlisting to assist Ukrainian military, and it lists a few personal stories of those. The only potential reference to Sam Hyde is this sentence: "Hyde, a 28-year-old from the U.S. Midwest, said he was already in Kyiv and expected to start military training on Tuesday." This is a wild stretch to use this as an example of Reuters being hoaxed in this article. For all we know, it could have been a different person with the last name Hyde, it isn't exactly uncommon. There are no references in the article to the details that could definitely identify it with the Sam Hyde hoax that we saw on Twitter.
> There's only one way for him out now,

What way is that? Because I think the one he's banking on is victory in the war over the next four weeks.

Russia will suffer greatly under sanctions, but that itself is unlikely to bring him under.
$GOOG stock has pretty much doubled since the beginning of the pandemic, meaning the company has been having absolutely no trouble whatsoever doing its job with a fully remote workforce for 2 years now. They don't "need" employees to come back to the office.

"Several years earlier, Russian-backed terrorists used a Russian-supplied missile to blow up a civilian airplane, MH17."

By all accounts this appears to have been an accident, in the sence that they never meant to shoot a civilian aircraft. These types of mistakes have been made before, with US shooting down a Iranian passenger plane (Iran Air Flight 655), and Iran accidentally shooting down their own (!) airplane.

It appears in each case it was a Ground-to-Air missile and the crewes were panicking thinking they were under attack.
OK, just realized how old they are. Thanks.
Ok, here we are. I actually favourited this post and going to share it with others. This is 2022.
does going remote impact one's salary?
If there’s a lot of snow and temps at the ground are above zero, it’s a worse situation for the Russian barbarians.

It will become even more wet and muddy.
I see two reasons to go back to the office:

1. You need a physical space to work from.

2. Your entire team is at the office as well and you can collaborate with them face to face.

I imagine 1 is not a concern for most people who have adapted to the situation over the last two years. And 2 requires that most of your team is local and agrees to come in as well, which I can't see being too likely.

For me personally going back to the office and still sitting in video calls all day with a geographically distributed team makes zero sense. It is a lot more comfortable to do it from home.
This is complete nonsense. You can absolutely survive a nuclear war if you are prepared.

Maybe you'd prefer not to bother preparing because you think the probability is too low of it happening, but you cannot make that choice for the rest of us.
It could be argued that the artist could've released that free song as a single/its own "album". It's not uncommon to see that.

Each one of these myths are debunked in that section to an extent.
Thought this was an interesting look into the systems behind League, and how Riot goes about implementing a crazy ability like this.

To add a little bit of context, a character (Renata) was just released with the ability to release a gas wave. Enemies hit by the wave are forced to automatically attack and deal damage to their team for a certain amount of time. With League's scale, there are a ton of different interactions that might occur due to the sheer number of abilities and items. This article covers how these edge cases are considered and implemented.
It will be interesting to discover in the future if we find out a large number of things like planes were not available for the operation because their commanders ensured they were broken when the invasion occurred. Attacking the nation next door that speaks roughly your same language makes things like mutiny a larger risk.

My wallet is extremely ready for a new 5k display.
I do think there's something to be said for the long term culture effects remote work has. Maybe the current employees who used to work in the office are more efficient remote, but is the same true for new remote workers? What about in a few years when a large percentage of the employees may have never worked in the office at Google?
The best independent bookstore I know of are the thrift stores. I find all kinds of unusual books there, and best of all, they're dirt cheap so if they don't work out, I just donate them back :-)
Show HN: Dev tools inspired site editor
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get feedback on this site editor (I couldn't get on my first try). A lot of it was inspired by modern browser's dev tools. Do you guys think it's intuitive enough? Does it feel good to use? Any feedback would be amazing.
I enjoyed the article, thanks.

I think you could add an entry to the "Languages suitable for single binary executables" section; these days, .NET (C#, F#) single-file applications work very well. This is a fairly recent development (single-file support has been good for ~1.5 years now) but I've been very satisfied. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/singl...
Murdered a lot of defenseless people is more like it..
In the US where a lot of these stores were (Amazon usually starts its pilot programs near its headquarters), that was maybe true a year and a half ago, but now. Change is no longer hard to find, and the few stores that held on to never accepting cash have closed.

If someone is willing to pay with a card, especially if they're worried about COVID contamination, why would they go to a store for something they can buy at Amazon in the first place? The reports seems to pretty consistently say that surface contamination is a much less likely vector for spread than human proximity, and going to a store still involves human proximity.
There would presumably been less chaos and drama. Maybe; the Trump supporters would still have been out there. But there isn't a lot to suggest outcomes would have been a lot different.
I've been developing Java desktop app for more than 25 years. I think the problem of the early days was the start up time of Java and the fact that reflection and (de)serialization was causing too much security problems for Applets.
Once the applications started, I don't remember them being slow. Hotjava (1995), JDK applets (1996) or Forte (2001).

The fact that it doesn't look exactly like the OS is not I think a big problem for users. Applications like Google Chrome, Discord and Electron apps don't look native and nobody complains about it.
> The difference is that Putin has previously accomplished himself as a competent military leader, and Hitler had not

What? Putin managed to force his vastly overwhelming forces on small countries with small and badly equipped armies like Chechnya, Syria, Georgia. And we don't know how much does he really do.

Hitler presided over, and even helped with the planning of, one of the most brilliant campaigns against overwhelming forces ( the invasion of Benelux and France). His army had tremendous luck, the French were thoroughly incompetent and prepared for all the wrong things, but still, it was a massive military success which was at least partly due to Hitler. That's how he got it in his head he's a brilliant strategist, which really went to his head after the initial Soviet counterattack ( when his orders were successful), and the rest is history.
Hardly - it’s a factual statement on it’s face, and what you said doesn’t refute it either.

Lightning is not only very recent (welll past any planning timeline for anyone), but not widely adopted - and it would be nice if it would be, but it basically makes bitcoin that same thing it was trying to get away from for those clients - beholden to transaction brokers.

Not as familiar with liquid, but if grouped the same way I imagine it’s the same problem.

If you use bitcoin, it’s the same limitation as it ever has been, and good luck getting community consensus to change it - I was there for the Bitcoin cash split (and a lot of other discussions before that).
Globalization is as inevitable as time - it is the direction of civilization.

Every day the world gets smaller, and the actions of each of us affect an ever increasing number of people as our connectedness increases.

The project of the new millennium and its generations will be to deal with this in a humane manner.
Affirmative action in general does not involve prejudice, although some particular instances of it do.
From my visits to Google's offices in Manhattan, I don't expect many who reside within the city, to resist this change. People will accept leaving their small city apartments and visiting the vast offices, with a plethora of services available as a welcome alternative after two years. It's those who've moved on from that lifestyle, and may have physically relocated, who will resist this change. They will be inclined to make an argument for working remotely, or work elsewhere, whatever works.
No stranger than Confluence acquiring Chartio. Snowflake has been making some interesting ventures and investments (eg Sigma Computing).

You're probably right that the Times has "one of the best processes".

However, the Times also employed Judith Miller, which goes to show how little such processes are worth.

If I was working at Google I'd want to be in the office just for the experience. Know someone who did work at Google for a few years and he said he would often bump in to incredible people in the rec areas and get to talk to all kinds of interesting figures like the creator of Vim or some of the top brains of ML. It's a bit different when you are just pumping out some generic SaaS product and can do fine in isolation at home.
> I despise this attitude. Almost everyone who gets old dies painfully. Are you going to kill yourself at 45 to avoid aging?

FWIW I agree with the parent comment, and comparing "living in a barren nuclear winter wasteland" with "living past age 45 in the country" is a strawman and not really what the comment you replied to was talking about.

I've got my "nuclear war survival plan", and it involves a big fucking bag of weed, some super expensive wine, and having sex with the person I love until the nuclear fallout gets us.

Obviously I'm being somewhat hyperbolic, but depending on the scope of a nuclear conflict I don't think it's irrational at all to decide on a comfortable end.
Russia’s secret documents: war in Ukraine was to last 15 days
OK, so define to me then the algorithm by which I can identify each race, if it is not poorly defined as you claim. What are the 'races' and precisely how can I categorize each person in them in a well defined way.

>But it isn't poorly defined. Your race is the combination of your parents'.

This is circular reasoning. My race is a combination of my parents' <race>. So my race is my parents' combined race? The fact that you resort to this fallacy makes a great case that race ISN'T well defined.

Using your own (recursive) definition (which eventually recurses all the way up to the first reproducing organism from which we came), if humans all have a common ancestor (such as some single-cellular organism), then we're all the race of whatever that common parent is. Following our 'parents' all the way up, we should finally come to the first organism(s) to exist. We'd all be the same 'race'.

>You're trying to use some college definition of race, and I don't know what sort of indoctrination made you that way, but that's not what people actually mean by race.

I'm trying to understand how I can determine what race someone is. You mention 'middle easterner.' How can I determine with 99.9999% accuracy who is a 'middle easterner.'

Your comment about 'college' 'indoctrination' is purely ad hominem fallacy, specious anti-academic attack designed to negatively portray something perceived as an educated opinion. This is coming completely out of left field and seems to be a lashing out for some sort of internal axe you have to grind.

>Like, middle easterners who are Republican might call themselves white, while politically involved Democrats might call themselves "people of color". I know two siblings who probably split down this divide. But even if they do, they're actually the same race, because they have the same parents.

This comment seems to work against the notion that self-reported race is 99.9999% predictable by DNA.
This happened at my last job before I left. We had ~50 employees working at an office in Seattle.

The pandemic hit, we went remote, and there was basically a mass exodus out of Seattle. I think only about 20 people were still in Seattle by the time I left (for another job that's 100% remote with people scattered throughout the globe). It took the company almost two years to start adjusting salaries...
Yes, but that's more of a general argument against all SSO - besides, does your concern hold even for things like Sign In with Google / Apple? I assume losing access to iCloud / Gmail (if you've opted into these ecosystems) is an existential threat anyway, and SSO is the least of your worries at that point, and the question still stands.
As another shitposter, I agree.

I think they started to believe their own lies. Like a feedback loop from Putin to below, and then the same things going up again. Putin gets advised in a world created by his own lies.
Playing devil's advocate, because I enjoy remote working, but it's not the same thing to have a full team remote, and only half of the team.
Do you view Mike Judge as a racist as well? KOTH joked about Kahn eating dogs.

I don't think joking about stereotypes is racist. It's poking fun at it.

Just because you reference a stereotype doesn't mean you view your race as superior or another as inferior.

Thanks for the correction/clarification. I had not realized this was a thing now. Will give this option another look.
All you have to do is name some time and place, and that's it.

Saturday, X day of Y month, in Such and Such Park, near West parking lot, 11:30 a.m. BYO everything.

It doesn't have to be a tech conference with presentations and keynote speakers.
"Run it in the browser" is pretty cool! I've played some with Rust / WASM in the past, but at the moment don't have bandwidth at the moment to try WAPM/Wasmer.

Assuming the goal is able to use software written in any language as easy as it is if you were a java or dotnet developer, how do you plan on getting this as big as npm or PyPI? A lot of the examples I've clicked on seem to be forks of the projects instead of pulling in the original source as a git submodule.

My Bazel-based bias would be to assume WASM is mostly an execution platform target, just like linux/x86_64 or macOS/m1, and I should be able to pull in and compile the source myself at any version I choose. It is hard enough as it is to pull in official third-party library sources into Bazel due to the varied ways libraries are built, so I don't see how the current official maintainers of projects will also volunteer to also maintain their build process and profile for WAPM too.

Some feedback about potential issues:

When I search packages for "Library" for "All Time" nothing shows up in the list. But things like sqlite and ken-matsui/jyt are labeled as "Library" on the detail page, while their docs make them look like "Standalone".

Package details probably should be sanitized. For example in rajsite/exorbitant the GITHUB attribute uses a git+https URL which isn't helpful for a web browsing session. And the HOMEPAGE says https://github.com/rajsite/exorbitant, but the actual link goes to "cowsay.overnice.com". I haven't created an account to see how a package is created, but a GitHub project link should only accept user/repo to generate the URL automatically.

The collaborators list of ken-matsui/jyt is empty, yet the package says it was last updated 2 days ago. The tooltip on the avatar icon says "ken-matsui", but it isn't an alternative way to click to the profile/namespace page. Also last updated-by should display the user/namespace name of who updated it, even though it is implied.

Recommend cleaning out or suppressing in search package that haven't been updated or attested to be up-to-date within a few months. For example "sqlite/sqlite" is showing up for me in "Popular Standalone Apps" on the homepage, but it hasn't been updated in 2 years. I see that you own the package, but also understand that you need to get the repository seeded with useful packages, and that a startup can take many years before hitting the next point in the change of the growth curve.
Databricks immediately comes to mind as well. When it's assembled right, it's a fantastic tooling.
Unfortunately taking the life of innocents to save some semblance of an empire is a risk the powers are willing to take. You cannot imagine the stakes here. After this event even if it is confined to just the aggressors it will lead to a life of hardship for you that will never end. Peace is always better than war and its troubles if it can be avoided. No one knows the aftermath. We have to see it with our own eyes. Ever seen a man suffering from bone cancer? That could be you and me someday.

That's what? 200k-500k people? There's thousands of cities sized like that.
You could do both, though. Take care lunatics don't cause global disruption by influencing your sphere of influence. Works in recursion, at least.
lmao yeah pretty much. I'm moving from a low code shop to Node/Vue because I can't keep people. They all want to pad their resume, so I'm going to build at 2x the cost just so I can keep the projects going.
COVID definitely helped push my recommendation that our small team move to full-remote, and start to transition to more asynchronous work. It's great being able to hire outside of our local market (especially for SWE talent), and we won't be renewing the lease on our albeit small office this year (moving to grant coworking or at-home furniture/equipment reimbursement).
We have capabilities to detect this sort of thing, but the best way a domain owner can prevent impersonation is by using DMARC.
This was one of the appeals initially, and would certainly still be true if you were doing something very processor intensive that could securely be done on the client.

Languages/runtimes have gotten faster and more optimized, while hardware has continued to move forward. It's also far easier now to add more backend instances using orchestrators like k8s, so it's less of a big deal to have to add replicas.
> 57,792 kilometres of Russian boarder length is ripe for exit.

“border”, and the vast majority of that is coastline, and the vast majority of the coastline is Arctic coastline, which is very much not ripe for exit.
This is why China and India need to get on board with sanctions. We know what's coming should Russia continue with this attack, let alone escalation... the Russian oil and gas spigot gets turned off. At a certain point, anyone still buying from them, is aiding their war effort.
Is that even true though? I thought they frequently copied merchants’ products as Amazon Basics if they were selling well? Because if that’s true, it means they’d rather have the business themselves than advertise for someone else (at least in some categories).
I remember using HTTrack for this a while back. Still have a few of those sites lying around, I think.
>> it's a closed basement surrounded by ground and concrete.

Underground parking garages. The goal is to have lots of mass between you and the glowing stuff and a concrete monolith does that. All those 90-degree corners in the structure will then mitigate any blast damage without risk of being trapped behind any door. Just like an earthquake, you want to be far away from glass. A wet climate is also better as rain will wash the fallout out to sea. And not too cold. Fallout and snow is a bad combination. Just look at how dirty streets become when the snow melts. That's where the fallout will concentrate. So the best place to be on the day is probably a parking structure in a non-targeted city somewhere the pacific northwest.
I don't think the stock price reflects that too much. You can't attribute the doubling to workers being at home. If it dipped when workers went back to the office.. that also would not mean much.
Pretty sure google has their own bus with internet / capability to work on the way.
