They are also checking phones of people leaving Russia. Even as of four days ago my friend had her phone taken for almost 90 minutes. She did get through eventually and wasn't stopped. She cleared most of her messages and browser history, deleted VPN apps, and general stuff, but didn't fully reset the phone.

This was via flight, I'm not even sure there are international flights still available as of today though. Is it still possible to fly out of Russia right now?

Also, as much as Apple gets a rep for putting developers on an upgrade treadmill and breaking old apps, they actually aren't the worst offenders. Their internal rule is "don't break existing APIs without a good reason", and that's something they learned from the Rhapsody dustup[0]. You can contrast this with Microsoft and Google, who follow opposing philosophies:

- Microsoft: Don't break existing APIs, period. If the existing one can't be extended, write an entirely new system to replace it (e.g. XAML, UWP XAML) and leave the old system in the OS forever.

- Google[1]: Don't complicate your code with backwards compatibility. If some change would make the code better, scan the entire Google monorepo and recompile the world against your new version, and then tell our AppEngine customers they have about a week to transition.

I don't find the literal interpretation helpful. That pretty much describes any group activity anywhere in the world.

You’re in luck. I prepared an entire thread on this subject, as someone who was forced to learn it by necessity rather than by choice. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1490237220950876161?s=2...

I’ll come out and say it though: Haskell is a cult. It’s best to smile and nod when you’re around the believers. They’re harmless. Ditto for rust.

It is truly astonishing how much code a determined team of haskellers can produce. I’ve been porting a codebase, line by line, to python. I’m up to 15 thousand lines.

Had to do it without being able to run the program too.

There are lots of benefits. (Ditto for being in a cult.) It’s worth knowing what they are, since they are powerful. But (hello cult) there are plenty of negatives; monads are the Aristotle philosophy equivalent of programming. Take care not to study them too closely.

That's good advice for a happy life for a lot of people, of course assuming that "the group" is not actively hostile to nonconformists. But nothing wrong with chosing to get a job, work hard and take care of your family, and live according to your cultural and/or religious customs.

We don't need to store nuclear waste for thousands of years. We need to store it until we have fast reactors that can use it for fuel. After that, we'll need to store the fast reactor waste for 300 years.

Since the decline is exponential, most of the radioactivity will be gone from that waste after the first few decades. Melt it into glass blocks and bury it, and it'll likely be fine.

Several fast reactors are in commercial operation already, and various companies are working on new designs.
I think these sorts of arguments are not great because they confuse "limiting behavior" with "behavior at the limit". Yes if you are able to construct an infinite-sized MLP it can exactly replicate a given function, and you can construct a sequence of MLPs that in some sense converge to this infinite behavior. But in other measures the approximation might be infinitely bad and never get better unless the net is truly infinite.

For an example, consider approximating the identity function [f(x) = x] with a sigmoid-activation MLP. For any finite size of the net, the output will have a minimum and maximum value. One can change the parameters of the net to increase the range of the output, but at no point is the output range infinite. So even though you can construct a sequence of MLPs that in the limit in some sense converges to the identity function, in some sense it never does.

The same kind of thinking that leads to the conclusion "neural nets are universal approximators" would support the existence of perpetual motion machines; check out the "ellipsoid paradox" for more info.
Sure we do. Partition your neurons into a few billion independent networks, embed them on a spinning globe of mostly molten rock, and put each one in a leaky bag of mostly water.

Wait long enough, and one leaky bag will emit the number "42". If you get the initial conditions just right (and quantum nondeterminism isn't really a thing), then you'll also get a good approximation to the stock market.
Happened to my wife’s close friend as she crossed the border. They found years-old texts between her and her ex-bf joking about marrying for a green card and she was denied entry into the US and given a 10 year ban for immigration fraud even tho she had been living there under H1B (which was close to expiring) and had to fly back to her home country with just the clothes in her suitcase. Her sister who was a citizen had to sell all her things for her. It was a disaster.

This is intended to be the other way around, right? Castile soap being the floor cleaner sold as fancy soap?

The reason it caught my eye is because Dr. Bronner’s also makes a lesser-known concentrated detergent called Sal Suds, which is more recommended for cleaning non-living stuff including floors and laundry. The “Dilute!” exhortation is no joke. 2-3 tbsp is enough for a full load of laundry. It’s almost the only household cleaner I use.

I think he was referring to the author saying Haskell would be his choice for machine learning: "I don't do a lot of artificial intelligence, natural-language processing or machine-learning research, but if I did, Haskell would be my first pick there too." In the real world, python dominates the machine learning space.

> Suffice it to say no one has really explored doing ML in an ML. :)

Learned Standard ML in college. Never did anything with it in the corporate and don't know anyone who has either. Though I think it is something everyone should learn. One thing I agree with the author: "Standard ML was the first functional language I learned well, so I still remember being shocked by its expressiveness." If you come from C/C++/Java/etc world, just pattern matching by itself is mind-blowing.

> If you deploy a hobby project in your life, you must maintain it. Forever.

Perhaps your definition of hobby is different to mine, but hobby projects are exactly the kind you can abandon in a heartbeat. No long term customers, no guarantees, no obligations. In fact, we hear about countless HW and SW projects being abandoned left and right, right here on HN on regular basis.

> For that time cost, I want to work on a product that could go into production and pay for its own maintenance.

Hobby and high volume production aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

I wanted to build a custom board to use USB-C power in my projects. Except the cost of a dozen boards assembled was quite high. So I made a thousand or so to subsidize the cost of development and production for myself. The chip I used went out stock (global chip shortage related) but until it did, my "hobby" project paid for itself and actually made me a small profit as well.

Those are equivalent as long as you allow for infinite length books.
I don't understand all of the criticism here. This is Ch. 4 in a basic intro to neural networks. The author provides a well written, intuitive, and concise demonstration of how sigmoids can be pieced together to approximate functions, in the layman's sense of the word. It helped me build intuition when I came across this maybe 5 (?) years ago. There are other good 'Chapters' about vanishing gradient or backprop.

The criticism here is mostly about things that aren't even the topic of the article: 'it cannot compute non-computable functions', 'it cannot predict tomorrow's stock price', 'splines are more efficient', 'it cannot predict how a stick looks bent in water'.

It's like saying 'I read "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, twice, and still don't know how to adjust spark plugs. Stupid book"'.

> Russia does not trust NATO and especially the USA, any neighboring country joining NATO allows them place more military assets close to the Russian border and having military assets close to a target is obviously more threatening. Russia had all those assets that are in Ukraine now all the time but moving them to the Ukrainian border made a heck of a difference.

I do not think this justifies your analogy to the USA during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In Cuban Missile Crisis we are talking about first strike nuclear capability when people thought it mattered, and it really might have mattered. The ability to destroy a nation, kill millions of it civilians, without risking equal retaliation, and where that ability would not have existed otherwise. Compare that to Ukraine joining NATO, there is no comparison. NATO does not gain any new abilities that are even close to that. This disparity is why the analogy breaks down.

> I have now also looked at more resources and they mostly support what I researched before. I am somewhat worried that I accidently got trapped in a bubble as the pieces fit together almost to well, so I will have to look more for opposing opinions.

I am probably not going to have time to go through the multiple hours of videos here. Some of them look interesting so I will be listening to one or two in the background when I doing something else so thank you for the links.

I do not think this additional info is likely to reconcile or explain the difference in view point we have here. Exploring how we see your analogy might. Exploring how I seem to think there is a larger divide between publicly shared motivations and all of the hidden layers of motivation which are not public than you might.
I think they should keep it on the table. Russia is in no position to negotiate and the sooner they relies their position is untenable, the better.
Don't worry, houses are still an investment in Turkey - just as everywhere else in world.
As an aside this is a huge area that non-programmers can support a project - learn enough to filter bug reports help free up developer time for other things.
That was solely, completely brought on by the owner class.

When it was made a managerial decision to pay 20% more to a new non-experienced hire than your experienced developer, it makes 0 sense to not jump ship for your own 20% or more gain.

Or at my previous job, management hired a headhunting firm. Contacted our developers at our company for a job at the same company. Paid $30k more. You can imagine just how fast devs were triaging from there. They lost hundreds of person-years of experience with that. Still are, too.

Loyalty is punished. Why would anyone be loyal? I'm definitely in it for the money and benefits. The moment you screw me, I'm gone.

I was wondering if Putin wanted to make enemies out of his apparatchiks, but you're right, it's to keep them quiet and subservient. Similar to China's anti-corruption laws, where only the undesirables get investigated and even punished with death.

As a bonus maybe the uninformed Russians will now think Putin is cleaning up government, the corrupt middle layer that's ruining his mission to make Russia great again...
It seems to me that the only way we can do a better job is by encouraging developers who choose not to offer support to make that explicit. Establishing a norm among the small set of people who read abstract discussions on open source principles isn't going to accomplish much.
Huh. Which operating pipelines did he shut down?
Ask HN: Is there a way to store encountred errors and their solutions?
I've been coding for about 2 years and recently I noticed that I often encounter the same error messages in different projects.

I mostly remember how to solve a particular error but sometimes it takes a lot of time to figure out all over again. So I tried to store error messages and solutions on notion, but it got very complicated very quickly.

I am wondering are there methodologies for this issue or do you have any ideas how to store them?
Free for individuals, but not free for companies should be the motto of Open Source.

I've been on tons of sales calls and architecture calls with companies and they always exclaim "Open Source" like it is a feature or selling point.

Nope, unless your company if contributing back with money or time, you should not use Open Source.

I was clarifying I consider them to be separate categories.
Java/.NET cultures are distinctly different to Go/JS/Python despite both categories being mainstream.

The former is old, boring and sticks to what works. They are both slow moving, have large established frameworks for each applicable domain, prioritize backwards compatibility, have highly evolved IDEs that support both the language but also the dominant frameworks etc.

The latter are easy to learn, emphasize the easy creation of new applications and libraries, move quickly/rapidly adopt new language and runtime features, don't generally care much for backwards compatibility in the library ecosystem, have many competing frameworks and libraries for everything. etc.

They are just very very different and as a result produce very different codebases that have very different tradeoffs in hiring, maintainence costs, development velocity, pivotability etc.

Sometimes those languages are the right tool for the job but IMO mostly in cases where you aren't sure what that job is. If you already know what you want to build and how to build it then the "boring" tech stack is generally the way to go in my experience.
I think they mean in regards to compatibility. A bunch fo grid features used to be unsupported.

> One obstacle to making these sales at Stage 2/Stage 3 is that customers really want to see social proof, because they have the get-fired-if-this-doesn't-work-out worry. A typical phrase you will hear from customers at this point is "We don't want to be your biggest client."

We do B2B software for banks, and this is (was) easily the hardest barrier to overcome.

But, we did actually overcome and managed to get to production for several customers. Once you have ~3 customers to point back to, its like you have some secret access for the rest of the market segment. Our customers talk to each other a lot. It is a very tight community.

The bootstrapping was ultimately possible because our organization has been doing business with the banking industry since the 90s. We had a lot of prior contacts to work with to get that first install. I don't think what we did would have been possible without this prerequisite.

The very first customer was essentially an arrangement where they would not be billed a dime until some percentage of business functionality was stable in production. We had to burn a lot of time and money for zero payout just to get one shot to access the market.

Overall, doing business with banks is not fun. I would not recommend it unless you enjoy writing more emails than code.

Elasticsearch vs. Google
Hi, I am looking at Elasticsearch currently. Looks like a great search engine tool. I was wondering - what are its performance metrics relative to established players like Google? Like it uses Okapi BM25 algorithm, how does that measure up against Google's PageRank? Is the quality and relevance of search results it offers at par with what Google offers? And secondly, what about the performance? Google handles 5 billion queries per day, with natural peak load scenarios like sports events, or other bid incidents like elections. is Elasticsearch capable of scaling to this level, with the right combination of sharding, distribution and indexing?
This is a bit different though, because it is at a border crossing - where your rights are explicitly curtailed.

Generally a microcontroller has no MMU. A microprocessor may mean the same thing. The industry term for something with an MMU is an application processor (Cortex-A). There are other terms that can be used, but it will need to be specified.

There is some fuzzy area between MMU-less, small processors, and processors with no MMU but large enough to run Linux in a MMU-less way.

As another commenter opined, in retrospect the greatest failure seems to have been missed planning to evolve suburbs into cities of their own.

An alternate reality would have seen the US purchase rights of way between traditional urban cores and new suburb centers, then run rail (and upzone density around that rail) once that suburb attained sufficient population to merit. Then build sufficient park-and-ride capacity to handle the suburb's population's last mile needs.

So basically, what China does. Except with less upfront heavy construction (because the US doesn't need to drive a demand-based economy) and more emphasis on right of way purchase (because the US has stronger property rights).

Instead, we largely grew the first generation of suburbs and then... just didn't invest or plan non-road transit. And so began growing suburbs outside of suburbs, and none of them connected with a high-throughput transit network.
