"KYIV, Dec 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Kyiv's bid to join the NATO military alliance was in its own hands, Zelenskiy's chief of staff said after the two leaders spoke on Thursday." [1]

Start leeting and learning algo/DS. Should be no problem to get an entry level job in 3-6 months. In 1-2 years switch jobs and you’ll be doing well. Btw I should add that you’re making the right decision DS is a bad career for reasons I won’t get into here.
What's your BATNA? Hmm?

Edit: I just skimmed the document. It's really not that bad.
It seems that the “pushback” in this study is self-reported. It is possible that for the same code review, people from marginalized groups will self-report higher levels of pushback than people from non-marginalized groups, owing to persistent discrimination experienced elsewhere. For example, minorities posting to StackOverflow self-report[0] that it is a hostile place at greater rates than non-minorities, even though most StackOverflow posts do not reveal anything about the demographics of the poster.

In this light, it would be interesting to see a control study that focuses only on anonymized contributions to open source repositories, where one’s demographics are completely invisible. If we also see people from marginalized groups self-reporting greater pushback at similar rates, it would show that it is simply a difference in perception, not actual discriminatory behavior from the reviewer.

[0] https://stackoverflow.blog/2018/04/26/stack-overflow-isnt-ve...: “But how do we really know that too many developers experience Stack Overflow as an unwelcoming or hostile place? Well, the nice thing about problems that relate to how people feel is that finding the truth is easy. Feelings have no “technically correct.” They’re just what the feeler is telling you. When someone tells you how they feel, you can pack up your magnifying glass and clue kit, cuz that’s the answer. You’re done. And a lot of devs feel like Stack Overflow is an intimidating, unwelcoming place. We know because they tell us.”
This is 100% written by GPT but poorly tuned. Bot needs work imo.
> PGP key discovery is hard to do securely. Do you just trust what’s on the public keyserver? Do you use RFC 7929?

In the case up above in this thread branch of the poster's bank not emailing statements because it is not secure, key discovery would be easy. The bank would have a form available only when logged in to their online banking site to enable statements by email with a way to upload your public key.

My guess is that for most people who could benefit from emailing encrypted documents it is similar. They have a good secure channel to give the other party their public key.

I'd rather that something better than PGP be used though.
Even on desktop it doesn't feel natural because you don't want menus to disappear exactly the instant the mouse is no longer hovering them. You want them to remain for a (very) short time after you stop hovering to make them feel much more natural.

That's just a component template though. When you produce large DOM trees, you usually do so by rendering your components a lot of times, not by having a lot of different components
I work with data scientists, SWEs and various flavours of engineers.

My advice would be to finish your degree. You're close and it's worth it.

After that, branch out into some specific domain that interests you. It will give you an incredible edge over all vanilla DS / SWE people. Plus, it'll make work interesting.

Pure SWE after a while will give you the same feeling as you're experiencing now. You're just building web apps for some startup dweebs, or shuffling endless Java classes in some grey corp.

So yeah. DS skills will come in handy, so will SWE skills. Great to get that base in your education. But long-term, find an interesting niche and get good at it. Just not anything super-obscure as not to limit your options too much.

Good luck!
Folks seem to be covering the basics. I would add, take time to think about why you want to "gather information"? What I mean is, most news is not actionable, or even if it is, you're not going to act on it. (When was the last time you contacted your representatives in re: some issue?) If you can't or won't act on a piece of news, do you really need to know it?

Figure out what you really want and need to know first, then look around for the (typically small and chronically underfunded) groups who are tracking and affecting those issues and values.
Through terrible process and QA on their end, MS essentially stole a copy of the game back from me with this change.

My son got an email saying he needed to migrate our Mojang account to an MS account and he clicked through like the email said. Problem was the Microsoft account he migrated to already had a Minecraft purchase. Now I essentially lost a copy of the game because we technically have two Minecraft accounts with the same email. We can only log into one of them.

I contact MS with the best link I could find but it was not actually linking me up to a MS employee, but cycled me through four different "experts", each of which I had to re-explain the issue, and each said they didn't know how to help me before bouncing me to another expert. It was a terrible experience and still unresolved.
Reports of people being locked out and other troubles. Microsoft soils everything they touch. They have the money to get things right, they just somehow don't. I just don't get it.
Good for the magnification, but I need a full screen reader with a tts engine.
I can imagine a scenario of acceptable first use of nukes, and that is against a country using nukes as a threat so they can conduct atrocities with conventional weapons.

I do not know what number or rate of dead I would get on board with vaporizing 12 million humans in Moscow to try and kill Putin. Is it 100,000 per day? 1 million per day? But there is a number, because if it keeps up, it just means this thing is not going to be contained to Ukraine.

And even if 12 million in Moscow are incinerated by a nuclear weapon, there'd be hope that we stop it before it gets even as bad as world war two. And that to me is a goal. ~90 million died globally in world war two, 1/3 from famine. Not that I'd be given a choice but being vaporized sounds better than starving to death and likely becoming a murderer in hand to hand combat fighting for food to survive. Seriously fuck that, nuke me.
OpenNIC exists you know.
The whole Mojang/Microsoft account migration thing has been a nightmare. I got two kids, and purchased different versions of Minecraft (don't get me started on that fiasco) over the years. I also work in tech, and have Microsoft accounts. Lastly I've dabbled with Xbox Game Pass etc. Determining which account to use and login with is a nightmare. I don't play Minecraft enough to stay current with all the ins-and-outs which means I ultimately don't play as much.

Edit: Another commenter reminded me that I also "lost" a license when merging accounts. Or at least I have no idea how to get back into an account that had a purchased license. Oh well, they (MS) lose out in the end as it's 3 less Minecraft gamers with disposable income.
Really good point. I'm more of a backend person. But how would you do it?
This doesn't look very open. I can find the schematics, but no pcb files or files for 3d printing the case. From the specs thread, it also looks like the bootloader is closed source.

> Very exciting, I hope this will help open-source hardware-accelerated image upscaling.

It is also a legal minefield. Nvidia is certainly going to look closely at whatever may contain the leaked code. They are unlikely to do much if you just copy their techniques (unless they are patented, you need to watch that out too), but on community projects, you have to make sure that none of your contributors copy the code itself.

ReactOS (essentially a Windows reimplementation) explicitly tells people who had access to the Microsoft source code not to work on the relevant parts of the project. Probably for that reason.
Anyone old enough to remember how many times we've been here? Every five or so years, Microsoft re-invents its own idea to force players to make MS accounts to log in to games. Later, when they inevitably drop the initiative, the players are left wondering if their game will be inaccessible when the account service goes offline.
Don't you find the A4 ones to large? I've been looking into these devices to replace my handwritten notebook but also for reading and so on. I think 10.3 inch might be better suited, what's your take on that?
They make it a huge pain to buy the damn game and actually get it working for your kid's account (yes, that's another step or two) if you don't already have accounts. And their account management pages make Teams look well-organized. I was shocked at how hard it was when I did it. I guess they don't want anyone buying the Java version anymore (I assume the other kind is easier to buy?)
I've heard reverence from all sides on the brilliance of Henry Kissinger, and am curious, what damage has he inflicted on Western politicians brains?
Since 2017. Just search “mdn google Microsoft” and you will find lots of links to the press release.
Jeez. Microsoft account management is absolutely trash. They try to do clever things, but they don't really think things through.

As an example: while trying to get excel installed on a Windows VM, running on a Linux host, I found that if your user agent shows you're running Linux, their admin panel will show you a completely different set of already-purchased applications available to install. Took somewhere between 5-10 calls to their support before I figured that out on my own.
Found this on their website:

"The compact, feature rich, WebKit based browser from Ekioh"
You've described the account management experience of Microsoft's forays into gaming in a nutshell. Still the same shit as it has been for the past 15 years. Fortunately, you can console yourself that in two years, they'll abandon this system, and switch to something else that's broken in a different way.

It's clear that there's an annual OKR to hit some account creation # or other, but there's no OKR for having those accounts provide any value to the users.
> It's really not clear to me what gives a human the nearly-magical ability to make decisions that a computer could not possibly make.

IMO, it's 16+ years of life experience that a computer doesn't get. Sure we train computers on what things likely are in pictures, and where they are on some sort of map. But that gives zero context into the 50,000 other things going on at any moment in a busy street.

"Now just to be clear, migrating from Mojang to Microsoft accounts is 'mandatory'."

Whoever made the poor word choice of "mandatory", rather than "required", ought to leave marketing altogether and instead teach in a middle school.
I think he's making a joke. Super Edge is a cell network/speed.
I mean trusting the network (to continue working, to not have large reorgs etc). I don't mean trusting individuals.
Ever since Microsoft took the lead they've kept adding and adding. New blocks, items, mechanics. Minecraft was supposed to be about simplicity. MS has pushed their own agenda for the game and torched everything it used to be. They reworked graphics just because they didn't like them.
I don't think so. I think the form needs to still point to the URI which is expecting the POST request. Maybe I'm not imagining hard enough, but I don't think this approach will work.

Furthermore, according to this article[0], the `:target` approach is viable when it's acceptable to change the browser history, whereas in my case that is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

Hello! My name is Kyle, and I have five and one-half years of experience as a backend software engineer, with some full-stack engineering experience in the biopharmaceutical industry. I have a strong background in designing, implementing, and maintaining small to large-scale web applications using Python, Flask, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL.

I am an experienced programmer that cares about clean, elegant code, and, importantly, I work to develop quality people and supportive work culture in my organization.
well THIS was a total surprise...

I've effectively been locked out of minecraft now. Have had nothing but problems with Microsoft accounts.
Probably makes it harder for them, in the future any time Nvidia claims they took something from the leak they potentially have to prove in court that they didn't.
Yep. Try to stick to 2/3 letter TLDs, some sites check that length is within that range. I have a "fun" tld (in the same vein as myfullna.me) but keep a .net handy that's aliased to it in case it gets rejected.
Performative anti-rascism by the same sort of bully personalities who would have been proud KKK members in the 1950s.
There's a huge difference between "supported" and "whitelisted".
The official Minecraft code is very well reverse-engineered, so it’d probably be easier to try to update that rather than creating one from scratch or from a different project like Minetest.

Morality didn't come from God. It came from hundreds of millions of years of mammalian evolution. This is why I'm discussing evolution.

Plus, I'm fairly sure the pi is a known quantity. PinePhone less so. Probably the most secure thing you can do is encrypt messages to your friends, send them as a printed out QR code, and make your signature say "burn after reading".

Have you lived in Toronto? Don't forget after taxes that's around $39k. $3250 / month. Subtract $1500 for an apartment. Left with $1750. Hydro, internet, cable (?), a car, license, insurance, etc. Left with $1000 a month for food. $33/ day. Really not so much. You want to be saving too...

I bought Minecraft when it was just about to go to beta and I changed over to a Microsoft account a few days ago. I can't say it went smoothly or that I am happy about it.

Lately when I have time to game I've been messing around with Veloren instead: https://veloren.net
The network hardware manufacturers are pushing heavily into becoming basically "networks as a service". And many networks are happy to decide that their core competency is not actually running a mobile network but marketing or something.
I bought Java Minecraft a couple of years ago, early enough that I was able to redeem a free Bedrock account, after an astounding shitshow of authentication loops. I'm pretty sure I was only able to complete the process this time because I knew what to expect and had my dev tools window open.

I can't imagine how mere mortals could be expected to navigate this process.
Wow, this has to be some of the most weaselly writing I've seen in a long time. I think my business english professor would be proud. Or maybe the markeing prof?

Digression into taxes:

Property taxes are worse than all other taxes. Why do I have to pay rent to the government for property that I already bought and paid for? Why does the amount of property tax I owe have no relationship to how much gain I actually realize, like income and capital gains taxes? Even sales tax has some sort of relationship to your realized gain (if you have less cash you probably buy less, so you pay less taxes).
You have misunderstood my comment.

What i meant was "posturing for Nuclear War" is different from "posturing for Standard War". The former is of a far more serious "dimension" than the latter and current posturing by Putin on that dimension does not warrant taking it seriously.

>If the consensus was that this is an empty threat there would be immediate intervention.

I am not clear what you mean here; Joe Biden is already on record saying he does not want American and Russian soldiers shooting at each other since that may lead to WW3. The same goes for the EU countries via the NATO pact.
Halo Infinite on Steam does not currently require any launcher, but other games (GTA V for example) do require launchers even when bought on and launched from Steam.
