No need even for airtags if there was a culture that made proper use of serial numbers. Like registering, checking, knowing which S/N you had when it comes to registering a theft. Registering the theft in the first place, because currently that's usually seem as an attempt to get the bike back (and seen as futile), not as doing your share in preventing future bike theft, with no expectation of immediate upside. And all that not just about frame S/N, but also for those on components. And of course proper awareness that you definitely wouldn't want to buy used with manipulated S/N.

(ps: I'm guilty of all of them, not the theft part but the lack of doing my parts in the serial numbers game)
Is there any other blogpost that deals with cool algorithm?

Blog is great, but pretty old at this point.
I'm trying to say that both things are happening, and that the firewalling is probably happening in order to prevent the DDOS that is being launched towards Russian IT infrastructure, together with trying to prevent the increased attacks.

To put in another perspective, nothing in Russian IT infrastructure has to change in order to control who sees what on the "Russian" internet. So if it was all about "controlling people's mind", then this would be overkill.

But if you're getting hit by constant attacks from outside the country, this move makes a lot of sense in order to stop the attack, although also overkill but if you're not very skilled, it would probably stop many attacks.
> There was nothing in the comment that should have caused anyone to think I was a true believer in the aphorism.

There was nothing in the comment to indicate that you were not, either. It wasn't in quotes. Especially here, people take what's written at face value. I guess that's a communication lesson.
Those are 5 top headlines from various sources. They may or may not include the top 5 headlines you need to start the day with. To get them, you’d need some work of curation, either by AI or (probably better) by humans.

I’d rather suggest one of the countless daily morning newsletters that give you a heads up of what’s going on in the world with links to read more. There are also podcasts that do the same. I can’t suggest anything in English but in Italian there’s the 'Good Morning Italia' newsletter and the 'Morning' podcast from Il Post. The latter does a good job trying to actually explain and give context on the current news rather than just repeating the headlines.
A sovereign, free and democratic country have the right to join NATO if the people desire so, and NATO too.
This not imply that NATO have the right to place offensive weapon in that country if this threaten non NATO neighbors.
Sad so, Ukraine has not planned to join NATO and NATO was not moving armament to Ukraine.
So Putin and Russia aggression is totally unrelated to NATO and NATO is only a pretest.
For me the weird part was when I needed to use an http client within my http server and I was pushed towards actix-http rather than reqwest.
I tried to do it from MacOS once, but run into problems. Tried again with Docker, but run into problems again, but they weren't insurmountable, so I managed to do this thing: A docker image that makes building Linux From Scratch easy. It's fully commented, to promote understanding, which is the point of LFS. It, however, intends to automatize some of the groundwork needed, as I felt it wasn't strictly necessary for understanding.

Ukraine has been sounding an alarm about battles happening next to its nuclear reactors. I would think it's very hard to make any nuclear safety guarantees if the power station gets hit with missiles.

War also makes people do crazy things, and it's very easy to imagine a reactor being sabotaged on purpose, even by defenders themselves (scorched earth tactics).

So on the whole it seems like we have another reminder that nuclear just cannot be made 100% safe.
> I think it's only a matter of time until the US and Germany stop buying gas from Russia. It's going to cause a lot of pain, especially for us in Germany where nearly a third of gas is imported from Russia.

We are going to feel a lot of pain anyway and more the longer that this goes on. Gas prices are already through the roof. Ukraine and Russia are both major grain exporters, meaning this war will have a devastating impact around the world this year. We should be doing everything we can to make sure it stops sooner rather than later even if it means more pain now.
Does he have any choice though? Can anyone else offer him protection from US prosecution?
Major tech companies have a vesting schedule where you are guaranteed to get the stated amount of shares on a certain date. I knew the minimum number of shares I would get for the first four years after I got hired. After that, I will know for two years in advance.
Anyone care to provide a summary of this that I can spend 30 seconds reading rather than twenty minutes viewing?
The problem with that is that Putin doesn't trust the West. I don't think the West can do anything more than it already has done to stop this war. Macron is having regular calls with Putin but it doesn't look like he can reach him.

I guess that only a devastating war can shift the opinion of the people and the Kremlin. Maybe still not of Putin but then he will wake up with a knife in his back someday.
That's a good point and you are right. I have simply asked for the engineer to write the test in the past, but sometimes my curiosity just gets the better of me and I want to try it out myself. Other times I am not quite sure what is wrong but it just "feels" wrong so I end up throwing a couple unit tests at it to see if my intuition was correct.

Note that this is quite rare and is maybe a once in a 100 code review occurrence. Usually it's quite obvious that something is wrong and you can just point it out or start a discussion about it.
Compare Flash to Safari then: Flash is a comparatively small VM runtime and vector graphics engine while Safari is a whole browser, which has a much larger attack surface. And Safari, despite its increased complexity, had about the same amount of reported vulnerabilities around 2010:

So, objectively, Flash did have very persistent security issues.
I thought that the old point of C++ mangling was that it could use existing linker tech. Do you have some references?

Also, my understanding is that, except for the very first few prototypes, starting from cfront on the C++ compiler was a real compiler. It just happened to target C instead of asm.
The thing is you might be hard pushed to find some uniquely Nazi design people would consider worth fawning over, I think they were very backwards-looking and I imagine they weren't particularly interested in developing some bold new design or architectural style. Only thing I can think of is their famous Hugo Boss uniforms, but that's inextricably linked to their military and the genocide they committed so thankfully I don't think the public at large are very interested in fawning over that even if neo-Nazis get a kick out of it.

I guess if we include the symbols, in Europe the swastika is gonna be taboo for my lifetime at least given that it is effectively THE symbol of genocidal hatred. Hammer and sickle is a little more complex - it is connected to a broader international workers movement so I think it’s less tainted in many places.

It doesn't help that Nazism was almost single-mindedly focussed on white supremacy and domination, it was their entire thing during their existence. The Soviet Union had its own atrocities and repression, but these weren't the single guiding principle behind the project overall. That's no comfort for the victims of the USSR (I don't think the Hammer & Sickle will be popular in Czech Republic, for example) but there it is.

It also depends what you mean by "kitsch" - if we broaden it a bit to include interest in engineering like guns, tanks and planes then this is not taboo (see Ian McCollum aka "Forgotten Weapons" on YouTube who has covered a few Nazi weapons over the years).
There are 5 jump cuts in the sequence to demonstrate the lock feature in the promotional video and it is only demonstrated once. If even the marketing material is glossing over a USP, then it's a bad sign.

The thought of sliding the seatpost in and out twice (4 times?) every time you end a journey is not good. I had a folding bike with a very long seatpost that moved as part of the fold. Admittedly it was 80% exposed while riding, but it got dirty and gritty very and it isn't realistic to carry a rag and assembly grease with you so it got scratched, required more force over time and became unpleasant to use.

Also, this is a very solvable problem, but no seatpost means that the frame can fill with water in the rain.
Then it’s a matter of equilibrium I guess. Even if you love biking it’s harder to do it safely at night. So we « naturally » wait for sunlight.
When things we love are accessible at all times and this barrier is removed the equilibrium have to be imposed maybe by introducing other thing like, maybe, more social interactions, talking to people etc. Whatever fits in the cycle to maintain an equilibrium.
You know, if you define the traits required to be a world leader as being psychopathic, and then include "learned" psychopathy in your definition of a psychopath, then it's almost tautological that all world leaders will be psychopaths.

It's not interesting though.

It's clear that you can't get to the top of the political pile by being honest. That's not the politicians' fault though. That's on the voters.
That site is a bit confusingly laid out; the page I linked to introduces the vegan diet for all age groups, while the part you quoted concerns the recommendations for the omnivore diet. In the material that maternity clinics hand out, the equivalent vegan recommendation for first solid proteins are tofu and red lentils. The linked full set of recommendations also covers more specifics for infants and toddlers: https://www.julkari.fi/handle/10024/137770

Basically the only exception is infant formula, unless the child has a diagnosed milk allergy. There's also a general recommendation against restricted, e.g. macrobiotic and raw diets.

It's because this cheat sheet goes in depth. That's why it's so many pages long. I would expect what you compare to does not delve into in-memory layouts of vectors and random distributions because they usually don't.

This looks aimed more for computer science students or mathematicians wanting to quickly adapt pseudeo code to C++ more than a novice wanting to see what C++ is about.

Are you implying that people waiting tables are too stupid to understand that the whole business of tipping is disliked, that transparency in pricing is something that many people prefer, that people prefer a service that they are paying for be performed correctly rather than poorly?

If you have to mention it to the manager then the server is likely to be in even greater trouble and anyway, the manager is ultimately the one responsible for the poor service in the first place.

It's not sad. There are too many people out there and most of their opinions are not worth hearing, let alone being listened to.

The signal to noise ratio of the world is awful.

That's why in real life we have a carefully curated set of friends (even people who contradict us!).
But that would clearly be wrong. Games companies have been reliably investing in DRM for 30 years and it's not because they're all idiots. Occasionally executives talk about this. Piracy rates for PC games without DRM can approach 95% and they can see in their sales curves the huge drop that occurs when a working crack is released. For a large enough game with a stable and predictable enough sales curve, it's easy to work out lost sales, because the curves start high and rapidly decay to zero in any case.

That's why people outside the industry often think game copy protection doesn't work. They judge it by a standard of "it is never ever cracked" which games companies don't care about. Most sales are within the first 3 months or so. After that it dwindles and after 6 months it's become long tail; the studio has moved on unless it's an indie shop that plans to work on the same game for years. If a copy protection lasts 3-4 months it's ideal, if it lasts a year it means they put too much effort into it and could have made more money by making a faster but weaker protection. The resulting equilibrium is thus frequently mis-understood as "failure" by armchair studio executives.
Those countries want to be in the NATO because Putin has been threatening for many years/decades and is being a bully. That isn't Europe's fault, but Russia's.

NATO has been reluctant to accept Ukraine even, but Ukraine added it in their law that they want to join Europe/Nato. That isn't Europe or US their fault either. It's because of Russia threatening democracy in Ukraine ( once again).

Also, gas was found in Crimea which seems to be the main cause for Russia invading and taking Crimea immediately. The resource was so big, that it was possible to use that for European supply within a couple of years if Russia wouldn't have invaded.

If you look at the facts, a lot of Europe has actually bought more gas at premium prices.

This is reversing now, rightfully so. And NATO is now also increasing military spending, which they were cautious about before. Do you think that's also a "new threat" to Russia? It's full within their right after literally seeing Russia starting a war.

We shouldn't have increased buying Russian gas, so much is clear by now.

Outside of that. Russia is taking every opportunity to violate the Geneva convention and is actively shelling when civilians want to flee. That's just immoral. What Russia says and does are 2 different things.
Please ignore Mo3 who seems to think anyone who thinks differently then them is a "Russian state actor". I'm not and in fact I'm currently actively trying to get into Russian infrastructure from the outside, not the other way around.

Tor will most likely continue to work, as long as there is a route to an entry node, your father would be able to navigate the web. However, they can try to stop Tor, and I'd advise you to read through the Troubleshooting steps from Tor preemptively: https://tb-manual.torproject.org/

Also try to lookup ways to still use Tor even if the usage is blocked. There are a couple of ways that could help him in that situation.

If you do end up losing contact with him (because of internet blockage), I can try to do my best to get you two in contact again, one way or another. My email is in my profile if you want to reach out.

I don't understand the question. What does takeoff mean in this context? What didn't happen that you would have expected?
In 01981 if users didn't like your design in the first hour trying it out in the computer store they wouldn't buy your computer. Now if they don't like your design in the first five minutes of downloading it from the app store they'll uninstall your app. There's a real tradeoff between ease of use and ease of learning, but software merchants are in a real bind here.
If by software throttling hardware you mean LHR.

Then as other have mentioned there are two options for GPU vendors:

* Hardware unblocked: GPU can be used for mining, scarcity becomes worse, good luck finding gaming GPUs for less than 2000$ for as long as it is profitable to use them for mining (~2 years maybe?)

* Hardware blocked: GPU can't be used for mining (profitably), gaming GPUs can be bought by gamers (still scarcity due to COVID, but not as bad)

The main reason only NVIDIA does this, and AMD and Intel don't isn't because of "freedom", but rather because AMD and Intel GPUs are so bad at compute that nobody can use them for anything but gaming anyways.

Independently of whether one agrees with nvidia's decision here, and whether it actually achieved its goal or not, the thought process isn't really hard to follow.

And I mean, before LHR people were complaining that miners were buying all nvidia gpus, and they couldn't get any, and asking nvidia to do something. nvidia did something, and now that people got to get the GPUs for gaming, they are complaining that they can't mine on them, which is probably the only reason they actually were able to get one in the first place.

So :shrug:. To be honest, it was foreseeable that people were going to complain either way.
"The solution to Russia’s war in Ukraine seems equally obvious" and yet it's unstated, because to state it baldly would appal people.
At the time, (most?) websites didn't adjust for responsive web either. There's nothing inherent about Flash that made it impossible to support responsive layouts with it. In fact, if anything, developing with Flash gave you more control over positioning than html/css did at the time.

Sure, there were downsides to Flash. It's true that many Flash-based apps/websites used more battery power than html/css stuff. But I'd argue that this is an indicator that there is a demand for rich content on the web. Since Flash was killed, we've seen a resurgence of all kinds of heavy JavaScript libraries, and forums like hackernews are full of people complaining about websites being sluggish and slow to load because of the amount of js that's being injected. Well guess what - now we've just replaced Flash with a fragmented open landscape.

Is it better? Maybe - to a degree the openness of html/css/js is good for obvious reasons. But to be honest, I think the web still hasn't recovered from the blow Apple gave to the creative ecosystem that had been built up around Flash, because there still isn't a similar tool that allows you to easily build web-based rich, interactive experiences, full of animation and rich graphics, the way Flash did about 15-20 (!) years ago

(1) was my first thought, especially on that part of the frame. i think if it was the horizontal upper bar, it would be less of a concern, because the upper bar gets different stresses.

also, this lock is way to bulky for many locking situations. i can't even think of a bike-rack where this would work. it seems to be suitable for locking to sign-posts only. (and see the comment below on that)
Thank you for the Letter!

I have created a petition to Visa and Mastercard to revert their decision. I will be glad if you help by signing and spreading it

The decision of Visa and Mastercard hits those trying to flee Russia because of political persecution and those whose relatives (often unable to escape due to illnesses) remain in Russia.

Please, sign and spread!
It means easy, not involving any obstacle or difficult steps. It's directly lifted from mathematical jargon ("the proof of this statement is trivial", "it is trivial to see that A -> B", etc.).
One more.

No way to right click and "Create new Text Document" or Create shortcut or anything like that.

Also, the "closing window doesn't close the app, even when it is the only open window" has a huge side effect. Closing a window with tabs, such as a browser, will delete all tabs, even if they would be restored after close.

More than once, when allowing Win users to use my app they will close a window that I wanted open, thinking they are closing the app. There is a certain logic to it though, solved in Windows by allowing for apps to minimize to the right side of the toolbar.
I agree for games. They can be made extremely difficult to crack.

Videos are easy to though.

> It boggles my mind anyone would ascribe to a diet that literally requires vitamin supplements through artificial means in order to be complete.

Most non vegans also get their B12 through supplementation. It just is fed to animals directly or indirectly as cobalt supplement.

> I was told it was posted in reply to an account that a lot of people called out as a potential state actor spreading misleading information. [...] Sidenote: i really appreciate people pointing out the potentially malicious account in the comments. With that in mind, below is the modified copy of my original comment.

Hard to not take this personal since this is literally about me. However, I don't see the thread containing "a lot of people calling out a potential state actor", I only see one user making that accusation twice in the thread you speak of (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30582330)

For what it's worth, I left you a comment that can help you to keep in contact with your dad. I agree with the general idea that general skepticism should be applied everywhere on the internet, but you shouldn't also rush to conclusions and believe that because one user wrote something many times, that makes it more true.
Meat/fish and byproducts are generally considered a "quick fix" for a great many dietary issues. Giving a baby something with meat in it once a week when they start feeding, once a month after 2 years (or more often) will fix most diets. Any real vegan diet will need to consider a great many factors.

Even vegan diets that aren't going to kill you in the long term are still going to cause problems. For example, a vegan diet with >60% fruit (or fruit and grains), will cause amino acid shortages. Too little fruit, of course, causes Vitamin C shortages.

Luckily it's easy to fool yourself into eating meat. Many forms of candy, for example, are meat byproducts. So is, of course, a latte.
In most law books corruption is symmetrically punished: the bribe-giver and the bribe-receiver are both to be punished by law. This creates a bond between the briber and the bribee: they both have skin in the game, and are both incentivized to keep the bribing secret.

If one side of corruption is effectively legalized corruption becomes much harder!
You can't shame the shameless. India hasn't (yet) reached the level of corruption of Pakistan, where it's the honest people who are jailed for not demanding bribes.
