So, the "collective punishment" of the civilian populace of an aggressor is what you're proposing as a good thing?

This does nothing to harm the "oligarchs". They have plenty of wealth stashed in non-extradition jurisdictions.
1. AFAIK only a few dozen (I vaguely remember 70?) individuals were actually affected

2. that said, in the initial news reports, the criteria for who to freeze was quite vague. One source said

>The emergency orders require virtually every participant in the Canadian financial system — banks, investment firms, credit unions, loan companies, securities dealers, fundraising platforms and payment and clearing services — to determine whether they possess or control property of a person who is attending an illegal protest or providing supplies to demonstrators.
If they find such a person in their customer list, they must freeze their accounts and report it to the RCMP or Canada’s intelligence service, the regulations say.

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/emergencies-act-debat...

That understandably made some people concerned.

3. regardless of whether they're actually "peaceful, law-abiding citizens" or not, that's for the courts to decide, not the executive branch.
Also in most of these cases, the "natural" way people would prefer to write code for an interval would likely have very unclear semantics, particularly if the interval delay is coming from somewhere else such that its value can change (like component state or props).
Used to not very much, but now I realized that most discussions are more informative than the source material, so I have been more and more. Thanks to everyone for making this such a lively place to debate and avoid social media drama.

I’m a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience. I specialize in web development using JavaScript, React, Node.js, and other related technologies. In 2020, I returned to school to pursue a new career as a marriage and family therapist and I'm now seeking an ongoing, part-time arrangement of about 15 hours per week to see me through the next several years of this journey.

See my GitHub profile for several active, open source projects I'm working on: https://github.com/mgmeyers

We have laws (like FCPA) to address this but it’s quite difficult to “police” and there aren’t a lot of incentives for someone to blow the whistle.
There has been a response in another ticket that they're harmless markers that have been around for a while, but it's hard to tell if they actually went through the data to confirm it.

Willing acceptance of our eventual fate of turning into ash while being born in a generation that has all the capacity for increasing lifespan is what's dystopian.

Thinking intelligent life should continue in its current state of being mostly meat flesh bags until the sun boils our ancestors is dystopian.

Status quo, not trying to be special, not trying to reach for the stars with our limited time. That's not just dystopian, it's Kafkaesque. We may as well be in cockroach bodies waiting for the universe to crush us, because thats what not looking up from the dirt gets us.

Curiosity, wonder, and unbounded dreams are among the best qualities of human life. They transcend our weak and dying bodies and our mortal lifetimes.

Totally, all the more reason that the specific ISA is less important than the implementation/micro-arch.

Why pay for ARM if you can retarget to RISC-V and still retain most of the benefits of your designs.
> What is so wrong, exactly, with "reinventing a concept that's already in the language"?

Nothing, inherently. Just like there's nothing inherently wrong with having extremely clear and simple rules for how to use hooks, and lint rules to identify when you're not following those rules. Nothing inherently wrong with either, some people just have strong distaste for one or the other.

I have new ideas mostly at night. I jot them down in iOS Notes app. Then when I've had the morning coffee, I check the notes and do whatever I've promised myself to do. I call this the 'pact' I make with myself to GTD.

If you want specifics, one current idea I've just dreamed up recently is having some sort of bookmarking system for my phone. Call me late to the game here, but it's badly needed.

Currently I've looked into Pinboard and Raindrop. Raindrop has a sharing mechanism. Looking for an (unofficial) Pinboard app that has share functionality. I don't mind paying a couple of bucks for it.
Indeed. What made it harder to detect was I'd made them myself at some point in the long history of xbox live, so all the account details were identical between the two.
> This does nothing to harm the "oligarchs"

As long as the Moscow Stock Market is closed due to these events, your suggestion is laughable. We're already seeing those oligarchs cave to pressure and start talking about peace. They're clearly hurting from this.

We hit Russia where they hurt: their economy. Oligarchs, the literal business leaders of Russia, care about their money, flow of business, their stock exchange, etc. etc.

Yes, its a shame that the Russian people are also getting hit over this. But not as much as the shame as the countless Ukrainian neighborhoods that literally don't exist anymore. I'm sure Russian troops don't want to "harm civilians" either, but their actions have consequences. And the counter-actions also have consequences.

--------

The only way you change my mind over this, is if YOU explain what kind of deterrence works __better__. I know there were talks about actual military action (no fly zones, US troops, etc. etc.), but presumably direct military action is also off the table, as its a dramatic escalation upwards from simple financial sanctions.

----------

EDIT: Case in point, Russian Oligarch Vagit Alekperov has lost 60% of his networth in the past week. Are you seriously trying to tell me that doesn't hurt him?
Assuming it is financially viable and healthy, founders should be paid around the same as some of the more expensive hires in the company. If the company is hiring talent that asks for e.g. 300k total comp, but founders are left behind at say 100k, it gets increasingly distasteful to hire people that probably should be hired because not everyone of these 300k total comp hot shots end up working out for the company (and need to be eventually let go). Down the line, this in my experience leads to poor hiring decisions where founders get increasingly frustrated of the discrepancy between their pay and that of hired talent and start opting for people whose ask is closer to what the founders are being paid (when they infact should really go for the best available talent that the company could afford).

In early(er) stage startups the situation is of course different, but once there is revenue and maybe larger capital injections from VCs, it is my experience that compensation committees or who ever is deciding founders salaries, should make sure founders are not left too far behind compared to what new hires are being paid.
This wasn't informed by racism from what I understand but much simpler: the students were males and did not understand that right now it is transport is reserved for women and children first. You don't get to jump the line right now, and the Polish border is a relatively safe place.
Hopefully, someone from Google will read this, escalate it up the chain, and mitigate it by cutting them (Russians, not Ukrainians) off.

Alternatively, they could notify the Ukrainian authorities about them. (Knowing when or where the enemy is going to attack is power)
The title is currently unintelligibly incorrect English.
As a user, I block such requests.

Why would I have any interest in making requests for "No Content". Perhaps this is why web developers use Javascript to trigger them, without any input from the user. How many users knowingly make such requests for no content, or otherwise send data, while expecting no visual acknowledgment/feedback that data is being or has been sent to a server.

There could be legitimate uses for this perhaps but the uses to "avoid detection by the user" outweigh the benefit of allowing it.
Common, sure, but that doesn't make the "take" itself any less weird.

The only weird thing is that so many Westerners thoughtlessly regurgitate it.
seems like the better solution is for the browser to take into account the sticky block when scrolling to the desired content.
Time travel to the late 70s and use the lisp machine debugger.

Russian warship idi nahhui!
I almost can't believe the Russian army is so... trashy.

For the army of a state willing to be completely independent of the West to use an American web based service for military purposes, and to do it in a way other people can see it is sloppy to the point of tragedy.

Or maybe that's an elaborate attempt to do psychological warfare?

That sounds exactly like Putin's plan - change the EU regimes so they play nice with Russia and reduce the ability of Ukrainians to wage conventional war, it's btw the official version - demilitarisation of the Ukraine.

This is the real problem in the current situation - everybody is trying outplay each other by using different kind of force (military, economical) and nobody wants to sit down, listen to each other's concerns and try to develop some acceptable peaceful solution together.

"mandatory" from Latin mandātor (“someone who orders”), compare: "commandant"

"required" from Latin requīrō (“i seek, ask for”), compare: "request" and "aquire"

Today the words are mostly interchangeable, but mandatory is more often used in context of laws and government while "required" is seen mostly in tech and engineering.
Yes, my fear is that we are moving into 1990s economically, and politically into the times of the USSR.

For now they are promising tax benefits for programmers and IT-companies, cheap mortgage and safety from being conscripted. The last one is scary.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvin-humphrey/

Email: hn@rectangular.com

Part-time/contract work only, please. At this time I am not open to full-time employment.

I'm a generalist software developer, having done a lot of full-stack web work, and also a lot of low-level coding.

I'm a past Director, VP Incubator, and VP Legal Affairs at the Apache Software Foundation. I was the original author of a moderately successful open source C search engine library project (Apache Lucy, now retired). I'm an inveterate organizer of study groups, and an occasional presenter (Papers We Love, ApacheCon, OSCON, etc).
I have been working on Hubs from the beginning (September 2017), and want to share a few observations/hypotheses behind the project.

Natural conversations require space:

- Space affords directed non-verbal communication. Unlike video calls (where gestures are broadcasted), space enables an implicit understanding of where people are directing their gestures and attention.

- Space allows participants to navigate between simultaneous streams of conversation. This is especially important for events with many people. Contrast turn-taking in video calls with simultaneous talking around a picnic table.

- Mixed media, social presence, and a shared spatial awareness combine into a utility as fundamentally useful (and important) as video, voice, or text-based communication.

The web is well-positioned to be the go-to decentralized, media-rich "spatial conversation" medium.

- This blog post [0] goes into more detail.

The "minimum viable metaverse" enables permissionless innovation and participation.

- No single organization (Mozilla included) will contribute more than a small fraction of the total utility of the so-called "metaverse".

- Mozilla's goal isn't to "directly" compete with Meta or other "metaverse" platforms.

- Mozilla's goal is to build enabling technology so that spatial conversation, online identity, avatar-based representation, etc remains open and accessible to all.

By the way, we are looking to hire a lead front-end dev [1], with more positions to follow later this year.

You still have a goal that people are optimizing for though--how to increase that intangible, subjective measure known only to the manager. It leads to people optimizing for talking about the stuff they do more, showcasing their accomplishments, and in bad extremes brown-nosing, infighting and sabotage of others work. Whether any of those behaviors lead to a better product or outcome for the company is something to strongly consider.
Comments generally inform me about the content value and most of the time are even more interesting that the article, especially with the modern habit of writing 5 paragraphs of flowery prose where in the past we would have had a single informative sentence.

My 2020 new year's resolution was to stop doing that, and it improved my relationship with the news and social media.

Rubbish articles generate rubbish comments from people who just read the headlines, and by only loading the page and skipping the obvious blogspam you can filter 95% of the bad HN discussions.

I come to HN to read interesting articles, not to digest as many links as fast as possible. The discussions are interesting if done between people who read the article they are talking about; luckily you can easily tell when the person responding to you didn't.
Ukraine recruits a tech army to battle Russia in cyberspace
There are reasonable ways to encrypt email, we just don't have them. PGP is not it, and I think PGP is at least partially responsible for actual working solutions never materializing. The PGP developers are too paranoid to develop a system that actually works. The web of trust is ridiculous overkill for most users, and should have been an option for really paranoid people, not the default. But because of the web of trust there is no good official scalable way to transfer public keys and thus the whole system doesn't work.

Really it should have been integrated into DNS with a MXKS record that points at the keyserver for a domain or something similar. There could even be a default for domains without the MXKS record that you can fall back to (use MX server on a well known port). The keyservers could be verified the same way we verify HTTPS, which is the part where we drop web of trust into the dumpster and switch to a system that has already proven to be scalable and safe enough for regular users. All of this could be seamlessly integrated into mail clients. If you are worried that your keyserver will leak your email addresses you can have it return bogus key material for addresses that don't exist.
In my opinion you only get market rates if you can produce market value, and this heavily depends on the ecosystem you have to build things on.

For example, one can created huge value working at Netflix and Netflix pays top dollar for this. However, the value the engineer produces depends on the number of subscribers Netflix has, the content that they are able to provide, and the infrastructure to stream high quality videos.

The same engineer cannot produce the same market value if this person works by themselves in a start up. At the early stages it makes sense therefore to pay the rate that keeps the engineer productive, because the value they produce at early times is zero.
When I read specially people from USA complaining that China is now the number one polluter I'm like duh, shouldn't they be? They have in absolute terms most population and they are also taking care of massive cut of manufacturing...
Yes. I see this is a problem. In 1930's Germany these kind of referendums(fraudulent?) made the world-wide catastrophe.

Anyway it is fundamentally(?) always the majority who agrees on the rules. And the majority chooses how to advocate for minorities (one of which could be a terrorist organization).

So in case there are bloody coins on the blockchain - the majority has two options:

- collaborate with terrorists (do nothing)

- freeze the coins
