I'll take the other side of all this hate. We use celery for quite a bit, and I struggle to sympathize with TFA.

Much of what's written comes back to using old python2 libraries or just complaining that celery doesn't have defaults that better suit you. The very first issue mentioned, about not manually setting the concurrency level...this is basic stuff. It always boggles my mind when people deploy something to prod with the copy/paste "get started" instructions from github. Why do people deploy critical infra layers without spending a lot of time to understand the thing they're depending on?

There are genuinely bugs in celery, and task queues are particularly hard to get right, especially with pluggable backends. But if you RTFD and follow good devops, you will have a perfectly fine time.
As mentioned a lot of places, Ukraine psy ops aren't as long. Longer = more chances for mistakes. This has been vouched for by multiple people with contacts in the FSB who all say this is most likely genuine. One of the people to vouch for it is a Bellingcat employee.

It also mentioned a false flag op to make Ukraine look like it's been developing nuclear weapons. News just broke of that today from Russian media, entirely in line with the letter. Huge coincidence if it's fake.
Depends on the chances of pyrrhic victories in general. You score no points for predicting the most probable outcome. To reverse this, would you be right if you said that Russia won and Russian media agreed?
The site we are on right now uses visited links in a different style (although annoyingly subtle). I find this feature incredibly valuable.

I would've be opposed to a feature to disable it but I certainly wouldn't use it. I can imagine that Tor may want to enable it by default though.

Edit: Apparently Firefox has this feature and Tor does use it.

I suspect the signal to noise ratio on any such discussion would be high. There are knowledgable folks in HN on non tech topics (as well as users living in Ukraine and Russia, presuming either are still able to access the site) but any discussion would likely be overrun with folks that have no particular knowledge but strong opinions they want to share instead.

Pair Programming always has some ramp-up "friction" time with a new partner where you get over the awkwardness and embarrassing phases (ashamed to make mistakes in front on each other).

And there are some partners you will simply be unable to pair with unless both of you take the time to give each other significant space/time. (ugghh..that sounds like some corny relationship therapy).

But when it's going smoothly, wow, you can code large blocks of code in a few sessions and the structure/design of code comes out looking really good. You can refine each others ideas as you code or even arrive at something better when the flaws are pointed out in the individual approaches.

I have also tried tri-programming also where a third guy joins in for miscellaneous stuff like quick exploration, how-to-do-that's or research activity while the primary pair focuses on the main backlog. This is helpful because when you are in the groove, you really don't want to get side-tracked.

I am a social, introverted recluse and even I found pair-programming objectively useful.

It all sucks doing it remotely though and frankly not worth it.
If you are interested in assembling your own microscope and have access to a 3D printer, I highly recommend: https://openflexure.org/

For me the interesting part was the build process. If you care more about microscopy than tinkering, you are probably better off just buying a pre-made scope.

>It's very hard to believe whatever either side is reporting.

You have more then Russian and Ukrainian news, there are reporters from other countries present on the ground, probably mostly English sources are link but I assure you for example there are Romanian reporters there and filming stuff, there are reporters filing refuges and asking questions. There were some Russian free press reports too you could have read/watched until recently too(maybe dig in archives)

There are trolls posting fake images but if you ignore the hot new posts from social media you can get a good enough picture of reality.
>Wrong. It was set up to oppose the Soviet Union. Not Russia.

I said Moscow. Did Moscow stop being Moscow?

>Good thing you mentioned Libya, because that’s the only campaign that NATO involved in an offensive role.

One rape makes you a rapist.

>an offensive organization that exists for 73 years but has only waged a single war

They've waged many. I gave Libya as an example because there are no shades of gray in that war and because it was the war that shaped Putin's view of what NATO's endgame was for Russia (quite fairly, IMHO).
This is always a balance. The moment you pin to a specific version you need to have a process in place to ensure you regularly upgrade to avoid introducing vulnerabilities in your production system. Throughout my career I have seen many cases where certain software still runs on ancient versions as the team originally maintaining it is no longer around (e.g. reorganisations or lay-offs). It is always hard to convince senior management to invest any resources to upgrade (If it works don't fix it)

If I have project that has good unit test coverage, I prefer to use :latest, as this results in a gradual update over time. If something breaks due to a version discrepancy, it is a lot easier to convince management to fix this, as the breakage would only be noticed as part of a feature request, and often would only require a small amount of work.

Looks like Firefox has it in their advanced settings under "layout.css.visited_links_enabled", but on Chrome (or other Chromium based browsers) you have to clear history regularly, or use incognito mode.
It could even just use CSS selectors to reveal an image or change a background image that results in a request to the backend.
It would cripple them too. Being rich is only relative.
> all the virology labs doing dangerous research would be moved outside of big cities

I imagine that might be helpful in making it more likely that an outbreak could be contained, but I wonder by how much. If I understand correctly the Pirbright Institute in England has a history of leaks, and is believed to have caused the 2007 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. The lab is situated far from cities, but that didn't stop the outbreak. [0]

(Of course, as foot-and-mouth disease affects livestock, rather than people, I imagine that putting the lab in a city might actually have been better in that particular case.)

> Rent for a room in a city centre goes from 200€, nice flat 500€ big one 600€

Rent for a room in the centre of Barcelona or Madrid goes from €500, nice flat €900 big one €1200+.

If you work in tech, there's a high probability that you work for a company with their HQ there. If you combine that with the fact remote work culture is still settling in, there's also a high chance that you also live there.

> You can buy a nice flat in some areas for less than 20k

A nice flat in the outskirts of Barcelona or Madrid should be about 200-250k. As you get closer to the centre, prices approach 400k, even 500k+ in some areas.

Other than that, Northern Spain has some infamously expensive areas that are comparable to Barcelona and Madrid. Same thing happens in the Costa Brava, some areas in the outskirts of Madrid, and some areas in Southern Spain.

Also, only 11% of the workforce work under what locals call an "indefinite contract". Banks only trust that 11%.

Spain is ideal for a digital nomad that is willing to live in some run down area or what people call "Empty Spain". And even in those places, finding a nice flat for €20k sounds like a pipe dream.

Honestly, if I were a digital nomad from some European country and I wanted to move to Spain, I would just move to Andorra. Spain is a short drive away and taxes are way lower.
Too well written, too human, too considerate to be a FSB Whistleblower. At least a real agent not just a regular business analyst. So strong indications of a fake.

And then this guy, who made a detailed post about how non-cooperative and almost hostile the discord dev team was towards his efforts half a year ago — providing free work to help others vastly improve the discord experience with hundreds of useful and unique bots — announces he'll go back to maintaining this lib although nothing about how discord acts towards the project has changed. Is this open source masochism or something? I don't get it. I'd have understood if money were involved, but like that? Rather let shit hit the fan and see if you can leverage it.

I think this is an interesting issue. We have this idea of “common people” being jurors, who are supposed to apply common sense to the facts of a case, as a sort of balance against corruption and weenie-headed legal technocrats, but the whole system is implicitly predicated on those jurors mostly being inside some culture window where they know what’s happening at all.

Like hypothetically if you plucked a guy from an isolated tribe in the amazon (who spoke perfect english), then put him on a jury, he would just be lost. “Well, so, we gave them net90 terms in the original contract, but then in the email dated…” — the content is just beyond his ability to reason about from where he’s sitting.

Maybe our culture has a sufficiently large internal spread either between itself or between the legal system, that the average juror is more like the tribal guy on the jury than not?

It’s mostly not a problem because tricky contract disputes aren’t normally jury trials, it’s mostly people doing comprehensible things for human reasons, which is a good match for jurors.

But then you introduce stuff like I Fucking Love Science propaganda plus Hair DNA Matching: SCIENCE! And how are people supposed to use their common sense to apply judgement?

The original context of jurors was like “I don’t know about no fancy laws, but wrong is wrong,” like folksy, probably-religion-based moral intuitions that prevent legal nerds from running amok. But where are we now, if the nerds can just say the word SCIENCE and the jury has no choice but to sign off?

I have no idea what the right answer is, but probably the current setup isn’t it.
:latest sounds like npm without lockfiles.
Doesn’t the same logic apply to using :latest? If you are always pulling the latest, unvetted, code, shouldn’t you also have a vulnerability management process in place?

You need vulnerability & risk management for any dependency, full stop.

> This is an extreme position, and IMO unrealistic.

We're watching an escalating conflict that could easily involve nuclear armed powers. Maybe we should try something extreme that doesn't involve asking Spotify to escalate the situation further? Heaven help us, now is the time to be de-escalating rather than throwing more sticks and stones at Russia that do nothing but annoy people.
The answer to having both visited styles and not security violations is to allow a domain to only style links that are local to that domain and not others.

They already do that with referers, there is a security level to only let the site see referers that are local to its domain. I think this is the default for https
Your article seems to be "Congress Has Removed a Ban on Funding Neo-Nazis" and not much about Zelensky being corrupt.
The critical question is what substance of fact does this information actually bring to the discussion that we haven't already heard?

It reads like a 4chan LARP rant, merely restating existing propaganda (true or false) talking points just repackaged into something that might appeal to the HN crowd.

Question:
Is there a possibility in Stellarium to place thyself on for example Pluto/Jupiter, some comet, or some nearby star (inside Milky Way or outside) - and look at the Milky Way center/another random star/area of space + have trajectories drawn when I "pres play on time" engine?

Using those perspectives - with all of the trajectories drawn, alongside with the preset universal/local/celestial coordinates, luminosity, maps... huge time-spans... is - informative for us who want/plan and work on slingshot maneuvers through space&time - it gives a spacial perspective for the game ^_^

Anyone remember "Red Shift 3"?

Teach everyone not to be taken alive. Eventually kidnapping becomes unsupportable.
1. - You'd investigate the god damn lab, immediately. Failing to do this is equivalent to admitting it came from the lab.

If I go into the kitchen and the cookie jar is empty, and there's a trail of crumbs leading to my kids bed, and the kid has stolen the CCTV tape from the kitchen that night and won't let me see it, do I then still have to prove that the kid ate the cookies?

2. Yes, it fucking matters. Millions of people died, and there were warnings about the safety of that lab the year before the outbreak. There are still people doing GOF research in ultra-densely populated cities, and we've had no discussion of accountability or oversight of such labs. That's insanity on an ultra-dense level.

Signed -> IDGAF who you are.
No, not really. There's evidence of lots of events that are extremely unlikely to occur by chance, and it gets labelled as a "coincidence" by people who don't like where it points and are trying to stop people drawing obvious conclusions. The term "coincidence" only really makes sense when the probability of accidental coexistence is very high but that's not the case here.
It is also incredibly useful when considering a property. Sketching out the nearby structures and trees as a Stellarium landscape is a great way to figure out what the lighting conditions are during other times of the year, especially at high latitudes where these things vary tremendously. I keep getting surprised by how off my hunch for June lighting conditions is in December, and Stellarium takes the guesswork out of it.
The Chinese company Espressif Systems is doing really well in this area, with its ESP32 series.

Putin is green screened into that video. His hand in particular cuts the microphone magician style.
Great resource I agree. The guide is concise and could seem obvious to many peeps, but it made me reflect about my own pair programming sessions and notice I likely failed at a bunch of those points.
Russia has been stating ukraine was trying to develop nuclear weapons for a week now.
I don't think it would actually be possible to use proper prepared statements for a "feature" like this. The whole point is that query is built dynamically from any JSON object. So you could, strictly speaking, build a prepared statement dynamically but you would have the exact same bug.
On a related note, if one's willing to forego proper mechanics and lighting, for imaging small stuff you only need a digital video camera and a microscope objective lens (or just a photographic lens with some macro rings). I got good results [1] with a machine vision camera from PGR (comparable to RPi camera module) on a tripod pointed at a slide held in a "third hand", with desk lamp shining from behind ("oblique illumination"). Yes, one can easily move it sideways and focus by hand.

>I am of course talking from a moralist and empathical perspective.

Speaking from a business and engineering perspective, I'd be surprised if (even in an ideal world with no environmental externalities or exploited third-world labourers) the cost of the raw resources, shipping and e-waste processing were a significant part of that $1.

We're literally talking about something 1/16 the size of a postage stamp that gets stamped into a similarly tiny plastic shell.

From my admittedly "peak mount stupid"[1] position as an engineer that uses these things, I'd suspect that the biggest contributors to that $1 figure come from the expert labour required to both R&D the chips as well as run the machines that manufacture them.

>made them fear for their national security

I think Putin and friends are more worried about Putin and friends being overthrown. The Russian national security would be fine. Putin on the other hand has killed so many people that he can't allow a democratic takeover without going to jail.

... That doesn't exonerate them. Like, at all. It's weird that so many make this point as if it matters.

Just because someone lies all the time, doesn't mean you don't INVESTIGATE them when something happens and they are implicated in the deaths of millions of people. Their failure to cooperate in investigation is a black mark against them regardless of how many other black marks they have. Is that so hard to grok?

> This has been vouched for by multiple people with contacts in the FSB

I've only seen this being vouched by one guy on Twitter (Christo Grozev), or maybe I'm missing something? It seems very authentic, just very weird that an FSB guy would publicly post something like this.
I believe this is not a new concept. However, I applaud the accessibility, style and implementation of the proof-of-concept, given that the author seems to be only 15!

Also sidenote: I like the creative and subtle plug for the author's 'Quickz' project (seems to be a Kahoot alternative - I have never heard of either) in the "not visited category".

Keep up the good work!
yes. a more accurate terminology would be "start being a politician".

a shift I feel has occurred in the last 10y in the tech industry is that engineers themselves now are pulled into the political games if they want to continue their path beyond senior engineer roles.
of course they aren't compelled to play politics. they could simply do their work well, but then they are likely to stay right where they are unless their manager take the political fight for them. (and often do, in order to keep them).

being visible isn't enough. embellishing your visibility is needed since that's exactly what the others have been doing.

the tech space is becoming terribly sad, with a growing portion of energy expenditure spent outside engineering work.
