Other comments here seem to be indicating this is a binary "young people unaffected, older people affected" dichotomy. No. It's about the generality. Bell curve clearly exists for many dimensions.
Large scale military invasions don’t happen because of 1 person’s will. They happen as a chain of events that offer direct or indirect support that makes it possible. We are all in that chain. From the leader, to their government, to their funding sources, to the citizens.

Do you not speak up? Do you pay taxes? Do you support state run businesses? Do you go along with the system as it violently oppressed others and assassinated dissidents? We all have some responsibility to bear.

I understand you want a normal, peaceful life, but that is not what the world has chosen for you.

You can’t be neutral on a moving train.

The question is how badly do you want things to change? What are you willing to do to break your part in the chain?

If the answer is nothing, then you’re exactly the kind of citizen a dictator wants. One that will acquiesce as things get worse and worse, while still keeping the trains running on time and willing to look the other way.

>I want to live a normal live with my wife and kids

That's what Ukrainians want and unfortunately that's not an option for them, and now it isn't one for you either. Putin has taken that away from you.

The faster Russians realize that their fate is in their own hands the better. It's a collective action problem, Putin can't arrest everyone.

You won't live a normal life until he's gone so the question is, how do you make that happen sooner?

Easy way: General strike, 5% of people quit working, government will change.
It will require personal sacrifice, and be a thankless task. No justified violence in response.

It's unlikely people care enough to make that sacrifice, therefore, sanctions.

Sanctions exist to make the cost of doing nothing more than the cost of taking action.

Medium way: Help accelerate discontent through low stakes capital sabotage. Pop tires, cut wires, set fires(didn't mean for these to all rhyme) break anything you can get away with.

Hard way: let Russia build up national industry and suffer 3rd world standards of living through your childrens entire childhood until Putin dies, wait as Russia is engulfed in a bloody internal power struggle and hope the good guys win
When the other country knows already that they are spies, doesn't that make their job harder? What can they actually get done, I wonder
Individually, pushing back on such terms and having a strong alternative. "subtract the cost of the oven and leave the spot empty".

Collectively, through market leveling regulation. "Selling" a device where the manufacturer retains control after the transaction is straightforwardly in the category of fraud. But unfortunately we seem to need new laws rather than relying on straightforward torts.

Furthermore, reigning in the surveillance industry with a US GDPR would go a long way towards removing the incentives for this bullshit.
As a well-known person on HN, that amount of snark is unbecoming of you. FWIW, you can bork your own system just as much, if not even more so, with HSTS headers. And also with DNS in general; how many people have mucked up a DNS setting and then have no recourse but to wait it out? The issue was not DNSSEC, but Slack who panicked and pulled the plug on themselves.

The FAA ban has an exception for diplomatic flights: "EXCEPT ... STATE AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS GRANTED A DIPLOMATIC CLEARANCE BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE"

There are commercial options, e.g. flying to Turkey, the Middle East, China, India etc and taking a connecting flight to Moscow. But Russia probably doesn't want a large group of their spies and families travelling together on a commercial flight.

2) Samsung DeX desktop mode for Android phones. Surprisingly smooth experience with external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Looking for continued development to replace primary device in a few years (unless VR gets there first)..

3) Domestic again, and pretty well known, but induction stoves. Surprisingly many still don't use one..
This data is disturbingly eye opening.

Only ~5% of folks in the US are able to navigate through webpages and apps when doing so is required so solve a particular problem. And it's not like this is just a US problem, the highest percentage across the measured countries is a measly 10%.

And the example task they used - using webpages and apps to find a job - is more and more based solely online these days.

I think I need to go make another donation to our local library for their work in helping folks navigate these tasks...

When the cats are truly technically qualified and naturally self-productive, the only way to herd them is by a leader whom is more so.

Otherwise the team will never come close to benefitting from very much of the whole members' combined abilities.

Outstanding qualifications and productivity will find a way to be successful even with a bozo executive, and it will be OK for shareholders, some may even think it's the best thing they've ever seen.

Little did they know the possibilities that could have been if there was a leader who could have actually herded the valued cats into the happy pastures where they could really spread out.
As it has indeed turned out to be.

It is very worrying to me that China tones down the invasion in their media (if that is indeed true, I don't follow Chinese media myself).

Better to let people know what war really is. Unless you want it.
Should it be limited to the conflict getting media attention or also include all of the other countries people are suffering in from military actions?

Life isn't good under an incompetent government that doesn't care for its citizens, simple as that. It's not the responsibility of US, EU or anyone else to lessen that pain. Putin could have easily avoided the sanctions, he didn't. Avoiding the sanctions would not have required any particular skill or qualification. If instead of Putin a dog were president, the sanctions would not have happened. Bad luck for those who don't have a better government.
I was on team “React is a Library” but for the most part that changed when the hooks and context API were added. The addition of those, relatively simple, tools made it possible to not need the additional state management libraries like Redux/MobX etc that, up until then, were necessary add-ons to manage state and data. This made React more of a full Framework in my opinion.

That being said React can still be dropped into a relatively static page to add small bits of interactivity.

So at this point React seems to span both Framework and Library depending on the use case.
Show HN: CareerCipher – A Mock Interviewing Platform
Hey HN!

My co-founder and I are launching a mock interviewing service similar to interviewing.io and pramp and we wanted to get some feedback from early users.

https://www.careercipher.dev/

If you’re preparing for a FAANG interview this service is for you! We’re currently charging $80 per interview and offer behavioral, algorithmic, and system design mock interviews, but we’re open to hearing feedback about what works for everyone.

We’re both interviewers at Amazon and Facebook, and have assembled a team of experienced FAANG interviewers to conduct mock interviews at Career Cipher. If you’re an interviewer looking to pick up more work, we’re hiring!

> though they were spies under diplomat cover

Pretty much all diplomats are spies, whether officially or unofficially. Their work involves learning and understanding things about the counterpart, openly or otherwise, and reporting their findings. The main difference is that the official spooks take more risks and carry out more direct action.

> Among "non-friendly countries"

Among all countries. Any embassy of note (say, US in Germany, or French in Algeria, etc) hosts at least a few actual spooks at any given time.
Is the article inaccurate? Are there falsehoods?
Yeah, the smaller articles are usually written by a single person who has spent an inordinate amount of time in the domain of the article and the article is good.

I started this article recently and was very impressed by how everyone came together to reach a consensus on a very niche topic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qeqertaq_Avannarleq

But then the other day I noticed that a page about a certain very popular K-Pop band was missing one of their major releases, so I added it, but then got into a pissing war with an editor of that niche who argued that the band's own Instagram page was not a valid source for information on their releases?!

Desperation is certainly a dangerous beast.

The bit he added at the end is important.

How many years do you think it would take to build up those resilient supply chains? 5 years?

That's 5 years without most products from AMD, Nvidia, Tesla and every other TSMC customer. Samsung can absorb some of that business, but not much. Intel will shoot to the moon in that scenario.

Yining Karl Li has mentioned in previous posts their intention to write a blog post about modern lens optics, which should outline multiple things.

Hopefully, a general overview of the 100s of lenses they've found/made the models for, alongside how modern optics fail to be accurately modeled by the polynomial model of optics...
Not so, AFAIK. It is equally as much about free trade in the South China Sea.
NATO is an alliance led by the US. US drives most of the policy, but within NATO there’s still a lip service to get consensus within.

US wants Ukraine in NATO is a given, because it would make neo-containment so much easier.

The question that I ask is which other countries in the NATO is hot on the heels to let Ukraine in? It’s certainly not Western European countries who rightly recognized that such a move is a provocation to the Russian and likely to drag themselves in a conflict that they don’t want to be in, something that’s paid in money, bullets and blood.

The newly added members on the eastern edge of NATO in their self interest, might want that, but I don’t think they’re dumb enough to be that vocal about it for the same reasons as the Western Europeans.

> The point is Ukraine isn't totally outside of NATO unless you're being absurdly legalistic, and it's quite possible it would have come to a NATO country's defense.

No. This statement above is the absurd one. Ukraine is outside of NATO. Do you see US boots on the ground? France? UK? Germany? Poland? No. NATO members has article 5, which means members have to come to the defence of a member being attacked. Invocation of article 5 obligates the rest of the members to fight, there’s no choice there.

Why would Ukraine come to a NATO country’s defence? Ukraine isn’t obligated to do so, but it can choose to. Choosing to help a NATO country’s defence has no bearing on whether one is in the alliance.

I'm not.

> a common tacitc to change the subject from the weakness of one's argument - because people disagree with you, how about making your argument and listening to others?

Falsely framing people you disagree with as being conspiracy theorists or suffering from delusions of persecution is also an incredibly common tactic....although I suspect most of the time the person doing it doesn't even realize they're doing it.

Ask HN: Getting software skills when you have almost no time
I'm working as a data engineer and I realized I lack some skills when interviewing for a new job: design patterns, good practices, object oriented design, query optimizations...

On my job I'm very deep into SQL queries, so it's difficult for me to learn those kind of skills on the job. So I'm feeling stuck.

I'd like to make some courses and read some books in order to brush up on that kind of skills but between my full time job and my one year child I've almost no free time to spend learning.

So I'm looking to optimize my learning path, finding myself on a paralysis of choice: I don't know if the best would be to start reading books, getting through a series of online courses or practice by reading OS code. It'd be great to learn those skills on an incremental way, a bit of every skill for each iteration.

What would you recommend?
If futures markets do their job, and incentivize other growers to expand their production ahead of planting season, it might partially resolve itself. Not my area of expertise though. Are their North American farmers holding out waiting for better prices?
Yes. Hopefully their nuclear warheads will be in a similar shape as Chinese tires on military vehicles.

I remember how Russia looked like 2 decades ago when it was piss poor. It was relatively peaceful and handful of its neighbors made it into NATO without any issues.

Wonder how that NATO expansion would have looked like if Russia was in a good shape? My bet is similar to what we see in Ukraine.

My rationale is very simple. If Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, next is my country and my city. I wish it was stopped in Georgia in 2008. But maybe it’s about time to end appeasement policy that clearly doesn’t work.
I haven't had to do that in a while but in the past I would just create external links to the payment processor who then links back when the payment is approved/declined.

Yeah he puts these videos on Youtube designed to make him look bad on first blush, but then you think it over and what he responds to crappy questions makes perfect sense, so because it occurs to you the viewer "spontaneously" it makes these thoughts more convincing. But that's a double-bluff you see, in some cases quadruple-bluffs, I think I even saw one sextuple-bluff, even-numbered bluffs.
But this war in Ukraine showed one simple truth: if you arm the population, the invasion can only destroy the infrastructure. You can't win over people's minds by killing their loved ones, their neighboors. And you can't keep it under control if every citizen has a gun. You install a puppet government, they will be dead within a week.

This is the only way to protect Taiwan. Give them guns and ammo. And teach them that killing invaders is the only way to keep their freedom and not fall under the totalitarian communist regime of China.

Please consider a "clear all" button. I know you want to keep the UI simple and that I can refresh the page, but this seems like an omission considering how much trial and error I'm doing on advanced mode.

Also, maybe an "I give up" button, hidden somewhere in a modal. I suspect I'm not going to have time to solve this before the next puzzle comes along, but I still want to know the solution.

You mean the same "civilized" Europeans that conduct war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.? Those ones? Or is it ok to wage war on "third world" countries because they're not in Europe? As they say, out of sight, out of mind.

What I mean by losing years: when you forcefully immigrate your primary goal becomes to keep your work visa or getting residence permit. You cant afford to work on exact same projects you wish, change jobs as you wish. Until you get permenent residence or citizenship - this takes 3-9 years depend on country.

Also lets be honest here - not all of us are top-notch programmers and finding job and passing interviews is completely different skill that need to be trained. I for instance simply don't have any official degree and while this make no difference for freelancer it's handicap me greatly when it's come to getting work visa.

Also even if I am programmer my girlfriend is not automatically become one too. Finding a good job for her as English teacher (who is not a native speaker) would be much harder in EU / US. So this will put extra strain on my an her life.

Rebuilding social circle and finding new friends also takes a long time. Especially if you dont want to stick to communities of other immigrants.

PS: now this all doesn't matter because we turned into refugees. Yeah we're in much better situation compared to my friends in Ukraine who wake up to bomb shells, but our past life is still destroyed by Mr Putin and his regime.
Maybe. But it's still closer to C than go is.
"valuation methods" are trivially easy to use. It's figuring the inputs that are rocket science.
The Arc Language Forum
It's not wrong, but it's not the whole story. Why would these typically small countries bordering Russia want to join a military alliance in the first place? It's because of the experience with their large autocratic and unstable neighbor and they are, of course, once again proven right.
