There's about 4-5 very predictable comments already that boil down to: "you’ll end up building a framework"

The author of this article directly addresses that common trope, so these comments are lazy. In fact, this article has a very nuanced but important rebuttal to that argument:

> no, you’re going to write an app instead of a framework.
You seriously live in a bubble and not suffering the consequences of a corrupt power you can not choose.

I wish I was so positive about that. Disposable electronics have been part of cars (which cost 10s of thousands of dollars) for far longer and people still buy them. We’re doomed. Doomed I say.
My understanding is that engineers in India are earning 10x what they were earning 10 years ago. Maybe someone more familiar with the Indian software market can elaborate.

The US states that that is an option it make take. It does indeed make no sense, that's why it's called Mutually Assured Destruction, and it works.

If it didn't take this position, it then makes nuclear war more likely. It is actually a logical position to take since you can assume tit for tat nuclear strikes are a given, so there is no advantage to drawing it out.

It may of course not take the option, but the opponent doesn't know what it will do. It's all a part of the nuclear force being a deterrent to war.
When I worked for a gardening company, we charged extra fees shipping to Hawaii, because we had to wash the roots of the plants. They had regulations about mailing dirt.

Since government and people are even more disjoint there than here in the US, I find this to be a sort of attack on the civilians. The idea is to make them turn around and pressure the gov’t, but they don’t like being pressured like that, worse than protestors bringing your highway to a halt.

Shows how the electronic world can cut you off at the whim of faraway people. In 50 years China will cut off the USA from WePay and point out that we established the precedent.

Also shows that we have a worldwide credit score of sorts.
I've struggled with sleep for various reasons for most of my life, and I've put a lot of energy into diagnosing the disruptions. Have you made any observations about the pattern of waking that could provide clues about why it's happening? I'm happy to share a few of the discoveries I've made for myself over the years in case one of them leads you down a productive path.

I had a horrible bout of insomnia early in my career. I'd never given much thought to depression, but it turned out to be the culprit. In my experience, even low grade depression or anxiety (including seasonal affective disorder) can have a major impact on sleep.

I have chronically tight hip flexors due to a spinal injury and years of desk work. At some point I discovered that a quick hip flexor stretch plus sitting in a deep squat for 30 - 60 seconds right before bed is really helpful for me falling asleep and staying asleep.

In the last two years I noticed that my sleep quality really tanked. At some point, I decided to start monitoring my oxygen levels with a continuous monitor (from Wellue) even though I don't have much of an issue snoring or other signs associated with sleep apnea. After observing increasingly frequent dips into the 75 - 85% range, my doctor ordered a sleep study and we confirmed a central sleep apnea diagnosis.

The CPAP definitely wasn't an immediate boon to my sleep, but I have noticed the difference now that I'm maintaining a healthy oxygen level through the night. Even with that improvement, my overall sleep quality is still pretty crap and that can still take a toll on my mental acuity during the day. I did make one more useful observation in the past month when I noticed that I was waking up more and more frequently from shoulder pain. I think that this problem has been building for awhile, and I've had some luck already rearranging pillows to reduce the pressure (plus exercises and stretches).

Whether or not any of these are familiar, I hope you can get to the bottom of the issue quickly. Hang in there, and don't forget to be patient with yourself as you work through it.
Even if there were real threading, it has features that make it convenient for scheduling tasks, chaining them in different ways and so on. You could write your own thing of course. But also it operates over different processes and those processes don't even necessarily have to be on the same machine.

I went through something similar. I just made sure all the high end appliances I got didn’t need WiFi to work. Having the capability (but not connected) hasn’t limited anything at all so far.
Its not about the ingredients, its about whether they are cleaned and the fact that there is no heat/acid/denaturing to kill the agents causing food poisoning
Cool game, but it doesn't work on Safari, Chrome, or Firefox on MacOS 10.14 Mohave. I worked out that it will work if the colorblind checkbox is checked, but I had to clear the cookie to find that out. Problem with the emojis I guess, but there's no need to use emojis just to get a coloured block — you could do that with a couple of lines of CSS.

It's good that you didn't use a JS framework, though given that the only changes to the page as the game progresses are updating the grid cells and a couple of bits of text, it would be pretty crazy if you did.

Also, I was amused that the example gif is over half the total page weight. You could do a mini demo/practice level instead in much less.
This is a great solution to get past setup. Presumably most devices would continue to function once you kick them off hotspot.

Right, the 90% of Americans not in CA.

Quite a few developing countries have similar laws. It’s all about the import fees/customs that can easily be an additional 100-200% over the cost of a new car. In many countries there would also be once-a-lifetime exemption cards for the equivalent of federal government employees or veterans (that are often sold on the black market for a tidy sum to a wealthy buyer looking to import a luxury vehicle).
The fact that the neo-Nazi Azov Batallion is fighting for Ukraine does not justify what Russia is doing. Why is the same principle so hard to apply in the case of Palestine?

There have been experiments with this over the years. Minolta coined the phrase for a 3x zoom in the DiMAGE X series, starting twenty years ago, and as I recall they were the first to use this technology in a consumer camera:

Bolivia isn't entirely 4000 meters up in the Andes, and two thirds of it aren't in the Andes at all; the eastern lowlands are as low as 70 meters above sea level. They have a navigable river to the Pacific (the río Paraguay); you could ship in barges full of iron ore to Puerto Suárez. It would be a longer trip than crossing the Great Lakes to River Rouge, but it wouldn't involve any costly overland shipping at all. Moreover, it has very substantial domestic ore resources, though those do require overland shipping if not smelted at the mine*, and they are partly in the Andes.

I don't know much about Bolivia, but as I understand it, Bolivia's lack of domestic industry isn't due to its population or its lack of natural resources; it's caused by political factors such as profound social division, a resulting nonstop social struggle (including a socialist revolution in 01952), foreign subversion by agents like Che Guevara and the US CIA and DEA, a history of poverty rooted in Spanish colonialism and apartheid, counterproductive economic policies like the auto import tariff (directed toward the comprehensively failed experiment of import-substitution industrialization), and insufficient capitalism in general. Historically it also suffered from widespread illiteracy, but that is no longer a problem. Like, for example, Montana, it almost totally lacks research universities.

Normally I hesitate to attribute poverty and oppression to conspiracy theories like "CIA subversion", but in the case of Bolivia, the evidence seems indisputable that the CIA were key supporters of the ultra-right-wing military dictatorship in the 01960s and the 01971 coup, as well as operating their own military operations independently inside Bolivia.

The economic situation improved significantly during the Morales years.

Hopefully lccarrasco or someone can correct me if I got this wrong.

* As far as I know, they aren't currently smelting at the mines, but then again, they aren't currently mining iron either.
This right here, that was an ironic comment to read on their part...
It's not super rare. We see how it plays out all the time. Protestors protest, government comes down on them hard - mass arrests, mass killings, mass civil destruction of liberties.

We literally saw a version of this in Canada a month ago, where actually peaceful protesters were declared terrorists and got arrested and their money seized.

It's not always about some other country's government coming on you hard, your own can be just as rotten.
I’m not sure if you’ve worked with a 100k engineer in the US but I’d almost always rather have one really good 300k engineer than 3 100k engineers. I mean 100k is pretty much entry level and not the cream of the crop for entry level either (which is closer to $150-250k).

When you get to 500+k you’re either talking about stock appreciation, or people in more of a leadership position/having specific technical expertise.

I’ll add that software is not necessarily a quantity thing. If you want things to have tons of features and have highly parallelizable tasks, it is. But if you want localized technical choices to be high quality you’d rather have one good person than three people who don’t know what they’re doing.
We view staggered time zones and schedules as beneficial. The team is conveniently available more hours of the day.
One our our engineers in a few of his sprints rewrote major pieces of Apache Tomcat, which is used in our very high TPS APIs. He fixed a bunch of the way the memory loading works, and drastically improved latency and stability of over 100 teams APIs. This guy had deep understanding of dependency injection, how java works under the hood, etc. This kind of thing might not be a huge win for a startup, but at a large corporation, you need people that can push the bounds on already well tested and well known open source software

I wouldn’t use that as evidence. Plenty of stuff is dangerous but doesn’t have such labels. Heck any corner can be fatal. Any electric appliance can burn your house down. These are not rare events, it just depends on how many loud people notice.

Of course it does. You can put hyperpriors on the priors, and hyper hyperpriors on the hyperpriors, but the regress has to stop somewhere. What is your point?
These are countries where parts are expensive and labor is dirt cheap. The economics (of everything) work out vastly differently. It’s hard to imagine how different life is in countries like that without either living there or using a time machine.

Anti-trust against intel, ms, and amd, aka the trusted computing group is behind the "internet of things that spies on you"

https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/

They want to turn the internet into a giant perosanl computer only corporations own and control and they are doing that by putting a secret processor inside our cpu's we don't have access to that polices and enforces copyright law.

AKA you got a digital dictator in side your phone and PC.

The last 23+ years theres been a war on general computing devices so that they obey hardware and software companies and not their users.

So the best thing you can do is call the FTC and we sick anti-trust on intel, amd, and the trusted computing group, they are behind all this internet of things bs.

But cooking and running a restaurant demands completely different skillsets. Being the best cook doesn't always means they can build a successful restaurant business.
You mean the Vi Hart ? What a small world.
You can take Russia's grievances on their own merit, Putin's behavior notwithstanding.

The crisis at hand is that we have, along with our counterparties in Russia and the EU, created a region of instability along the outer Soviet arc that has existed since its formal collapse in 1991. This war in Ukraine is just the latest manifestation of this.

I personally would like my government to try and negotiate with Putin, and to make an honest effort to address his concerns, in an attempt to put an end to hostilities. How many more times do we have in us, to creep along the edge of nuclear war, are you all so eager for the grave? Clearly you feel differently, and I guess that's where we will have to disagree.
Free rider? I think the technical term is “pax americana”.

If, broadly speaking, the western media says that Russia won a Pyrrhic victory will I be right in saying this was an intentional setup or will it be that I simply got lucky?
> if you do not mean a nuclear threat, then you explicitly say so.

That's not how people make threats. They are ambiguous for their own reasons. The media is supposed to report what's said, then people who know these things will tell what Putin actually means. The media jump the gun and put words in people's mounth is highly unethical, given the stake.
Yeah, suburbanization produced a tremendous amount of value allowing people to live in large, SFH homes with yards without having to pay high prices for land. I think we’ll always have suburbs at the urban:rural transition and that the automobile will play an important role in making them work.

In a lot of urban areas now the population/demand is such that people have expanded well pass the initial sets of suburbs and now those suburbs are in dire need of urbanization. That’s due to general growth over time. While it looks terrible now, that’s more because people are greatly resisting converting suburban areas to urban, and doesn’t invalidate the initial decisions to create suburban areas.
Another example was Operation Choke Point.

pretty much every modern car was designed with both versions in mind. many cheaper cars have agnostic dashboards that don't take much to convert. and any globally distributed model is going to at least have a secondhand market where the parts for conversion are readily available. for some popular models where OEM dashes are hard to come by, there are full dashboard kits produced by third parties.
What's your answer to people who proclaim things like: a) Ukraine has a right to self-determination, b) Putin has moral agency, c) NATO is necessary to protect states that wish to turn away from Russia, d) What about the wishes of Ukrainians?

In the context of the US antiwar movement? Most leftists, even those that have deep mutual disagreements with each other, have long held that NATO expansionism is harmful. But I've been seeing a lot non-leftists use points a-d) to argue that the leftists are wrong. Have you seen this and how would you resolve this?

My own answer has been that NATO is kind of like a road system. Stop building so much and polluting our forests and lands. But if there's an avalanche, it is ethical to use the road to evacuate people. But I still feel I don't understand it fully and I'm not sure what ought to happen or what ought to have happened between NATO versus any country in a situation like Ukraine's.
I filled my tank at $5.95. LA.
Yep, I did the same.

Currently, I am still building my own fork of WebKit (RetroKit [1] ) that removes all attack surfaces it still has (e.g. canvas, webgl, webaudio, applet and embed support, pdf plugins...you name it).

I realized at some point that all bridge concepts are super buggy, in Gecko, in WebKit, in Blink...and the only way to reduce the attack surface is to remove the featureset.

Tried to do the same with chromium and gecko before...but arguably both projects come with so much overhead (repo tools, hardcoded git urls everywhere, custom clone scripts for each platform and environment etc) that they're inforkable.

Take a look at projects like nwjs, where the maintainer has to go almost insane trying to keep up to date with upstream...and he basically didn't change anything else than the public headers to be able to embed chromium more easily.

I don't need WebGL to browse websites. If I want to visit a web experiment I can still use ungoogled chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/...

As for the alternative in the meantime: I'm using ungoogled chromium with my own Browser Extension [2] to block off all tracking and filtering/rewriting the actual content.

> Raw fish consumption in pregnancy is actually recommended in certain countries (Japan being the most notable one).

No, it's common knowledge in Japan that you don't eat raw fish when pregnant.

I don't know why some English websites claim otherwise... all Japanese sources I see agree with me, e.g. this one, supposedly doctor-reviewed: https://woman.mynavi.jp/kosodate/articles/7089
When the war gets more brutal, I expect increasing pressure to shut off the Russian oil and gas spigot. Or instead increase import tariffs so at least the Putin regime isn't able to profit. Either way, it will increase the cost at the pump, and I'm expecting well above $6/gallon.
I did a quick survey of Asia and it seems like they are happy to build expressways through downtown. Tokyo has them, Shanghai has them, Taipei has them, Seoul has them.
Because Europe is and always has been a terrible place to be for SWEs. If you want to earn 75% less than your American counterparts and pay 25%+ more in taxes, stay in Europe. If not, get a visa and get out.

You are giving up literally millions of dollars by living in Europe. No amount of free healthcare makes up for the gap. By the way, healthcare is low cost / essentially free at most tech companies in the US.
What company wants to "throw kill switches to Russia" ?

They are being told to do it (or heavily implied that they will be told to do it very soon if they don't do it beforehand).

It's not that I don't see the risk of companies "doing the same thing to anyone they want", it's just that this is not the same as is happening w.r.t the Russian attack on Ukraine.
I think that congestion charging is the way around this. If you want to drive to the city, fine, but it will cost you $50. Train suddenly looking like a decent option.
