J. Kenji López-Alt Is Cooking Up a New Kind of Perfection
Is it just me or is there something strange about reading about this in the NYT itself?
Since people talk about this being the start of a wave of tech unionization, how will success or failure be determined for this union? It would be cool if we could see some OKRs for the union and check in a year if this actually did anything.
I don't understand why? Are you saying that they needed to melt it down now because they can't do it later, even though you then say that it'll be a prime target for future bombing which will most likely lead to a meltdown?

Or do you mean that "meltdown" is a safe state that would secure the reactor against future bombing?
Hm no that doesn’t sound good either. Alright nuclear annihilation it is! Too bad…

It makes a lot of sense actually. Did you not see the result? Weeks of chaos and world attention. For the investment of a few bucks. The trucker campaign is also a replay of the Chilean trucker strikes.

I guess my question to you is: do you think a 16 year veteran of the KGB - a warmonger with a lust for the Soviet Union - and a vendetta against the west for brining it down, with total control over an enemy state is more likely to or not to be conducting destabilization campaigns in enemy states? I think a study would be interesting and I would be happy to hear either outcome. However, I strongly suspect there's nothing anyone would tell you that would change your mind one way or the other.

Before you answer, remember, he is currently trying to set fire to Europe's largest nuclear reactor.

Further, you seem to be alluding to American politics, I am not talking about America at all.
It's not an apples to apples comparison.

Chechnya population in 1992 was about 800,000. Ukraine has a population of 41,000,000.

Chechnya did not receive military or humanitarian aid, and if it did, it was not as substantial as what Ukraine is receiving now. Ukrainian allies are supplying fuel, food, vehicles, weapons, training, volunteers, humanitarian aid, intelligence, etc.

Russia back then was not sanctioned economically to the extent we see today or kicked out of the banking system. For example, the Soviet Union had banks in the SWIFT system. Now, Russia has been completely isolated: Russian companies cannot do business internationally due to being unable to transfer money or process payments, the value of Russian company stocks has gone to zero, their stock exchange ceased operations (temporarily), their population are doing bank runs, their currency is worth nothing and its economy is expected to collapse soon.

And, unlike Russian equipment where most of the equipment spending has been diverted to corrupt endeavors, Ukrainian military equipment works. Most Russian military equipment now doesn't meet their own specifications.
Working, studying in ‘off’ hours can harm motivation
So, aside from the obvious nature of messing around with Nuclear generating station being an idiotic move. From a tactical move for Russia - clearly they want the generating station offline to cause further chaos in Ukraine and that it supplies 1/6 of the power I believe(?). Was the generating station fighting to say online / not surrender or did Russia just show up guns blazing?

It's clearly a tactically important source of energy for Ukraine.

Also - wouldn't it just be easier for Russia to destroy the substations nearby? I assume there would be some problems with all that excess power being generating if the substations were blown. The whole thing is pretty nuts.

I can't imagine being the ISO trying to balance the grid or ISO equivalent of the grid over there right now (amongst other impossible jobs/positions people are in Ukraine right now).
I’ve been using corne (40% ortho split) for software development for over a year now. It is most definitely the way to go. Having common symbols ()<>{} be on a layer on the home row is so fantastic for typing speed.
When the SE/30 came out it could only address up to 8mb of RAM anyways due to the 24-bit ROM. I think you could either swap the ROM from IIfx or IIsi (which came out the next year), or use the MODE32 INIT[0] which I believe required System 7 and came out in 1991, two years after the release of the SE/30. I guess 128mb of RAM would have been a bit cheaper by then... hopefully haha

Make it yours with a nice pack of keycaps.[2]

If you're not sure which Cherry MX switches to get read more about them here [3] and search for comparisons. I hate reds. I love blues. My wife's ears hate my blues. Now I use browns.

I have owned many many keyboards and built a couple too and I honestly believe that FILCO is the best consumer mechanical board or at the very least my favorite :)

The link doesn't load right now (HN overload?) but I wonder, if the comms are down, shouldn't the system report "no data" as opposed to "all clear"? Why should there be an explicit warning about not trusting it when the system itself should easily be able to tell whether it's getting fresh data?
The hackernews crowd wants to pretend they are smarter than the facebookers who fall for fake news. But this is exactly what they do. Even though the original article is now updated to show the fire was not in the plant but outside its perimeter, you are downvoted and I was flagged for saying so. Even with ghost of kyiv nonsense making it extremely clear, western media/online nerds cannot accept that Ukraine is spewing out fake news. Out of desperation? understandably? Sure maybe. Still fake and you're still stupid for swallowing it
That's what I meant, actually. This is the time when workers have the most leverage to preserve that leverage for the long-term. Doing so through institutions like unions is one method.
This wasn't "messing around". For sure, that Russian unit was sent to capture the reactor. Wanting to control infrastructure like generators is an obvious and (fairly) rational strategic goal. Presumably the commander that ordered it felt it was worth the risk. That may not be a correct analysis (we'll see, I guess), but it surely wasn't done on a whim.
> the one that I use is bad

What’s bad about it?
Russia is trying to move northwards to Zaporizhzhia city. Leaving Ukrainian troops roaming freely in the Energodar town would have left their supply lines / flanks exposed, so they needed to drive in and clear troops out of the town (which mostly consists of a nuclear power plant).

I'm guessing the Ukrainian troops fell back to the nuclear power plant hoping they wouldn't get attacked there.
I think the idea is "If everyone determined their actions as a function of the combination of their circumstances with their idiosyncratic wants, using the same function", where said function is assumed to be natural and not like, weirdly skewed around one particular person's wants.

So, like, if John really dislikes Joe, the rule saying "if you really dislike someone, punch Joe in the face" wouldn't be a rule of the appropriate sense. It doesn't make sense that if Steve really disliked Erwin, that he would punch Joe in the face as a result.

The rule that John should be considering whether he would approve of, is closer to[1] the rule "If you really dislike someone, punch them in the face." . Presumably John would find this rule less appealing than "If you really dislike someone, punch Joe in the face.", because someone might dislike John and therefore punch John in the face, and John would rather not be punched in the face.

So, in the case you gave an example of, about "whether to have children", the question would be along the lines of, "If everyone decided whether to have children (as well as how many) using the same criteria that you are using (where these criteria could include their personal tastes, aspirations, etc. as a factor), would you approve of the outcome?"
This seems quite compatible with the ways that people differ.

Like, it isn't about assuming everyone behaves in the same way, but about assuming everyone responds to their desires and motivations in "the same way", for the right sense of "the same way".

[1] I won't say that this is exactly the right rule to consider. idk. Probably not quite.
> Likewise the situation in Ukraine could have been avoided.

Sorry, but no. The demands and even the Minsk agreements were completely incompatible with Ukrainian sovereignty. It would have been easier to demand Ukraine recognize LDNR and Crimea, than to implement Misk 2 in its form.

I can easily lay blame on Germany for being so nindmumbigly stupid with forcing Minsk 2 on Ukraine. You've seen how well Russia played Merkel, when Ukranian president snapped a pencil.

And finally - there was no goal of letting Ukraine make its own decisions on Russian side. This war was inevitable, since western powers refused to provide proper defensive capabilities to Ukraine - specially AA.
I was about to say the same, but I just googled to be sure. Apparently "vamanos" is a common (mis)spelling?
Ogg is unfortunately not a mainstream codec. 10 years ago, SomewhatWellKnownMusicTrackerThatShallNotBeNamed supported Ogg Vorbis. They discontinued support due to lack of interest and seeding (this was before the French authorities raided them and caused the tracker to be shut). To me, when that tracker stopped supporting Ogg, that’s when it died. Even the music nerd pirates thought it wasn’t worth supporting.
A lot of post soviet bloc countries have lost double-digit percentages of their population to emigration over the last thirty years, so it's hard to draw any conclusions here, is my guess.

Cybercriminals who breached Nvidia issue one of the most unusual demands ever
I'd recommend:

- Chiclet Keyboard

- Inexpensive

- Wired

- Full QUERTY layout (inc. number pad).

- Maybe a dedicated calculator button.

- No LEDs/special features/special software.

Advantage including:

- Lower compression depth/lower pressure per key press.

- Lower noise.

- Lower cost.

- Increased reliability.

- Plug and play.

Amazon Basics and Dell both make good keyboards in this category but Amazon Basics' keyboard no longer has the dedicated Calculator button. I buy these keyboards on purpose and legitimately don't understand people who WANT a Model-M clone, I typed on those for years, terrible keyboards. Just loud, attract grime, and cause hand fatigue.

PS - Although the trendy tide could be turning with MX LOW PROFILE gaining some interest.

edit: Maybe check out the CHERRY Stream Keyboard for $30 on Amazon (US).
I have a few Vortex Pok3rs (60% with brown, red, and clear cherry switches) and love them.

It’s not as important now, but one thing I really like about them is how portable they are. If I have to travel to work at a client site or visit an office, a Pok3r is trivial to bring along.

Once you’re really used to a semi-exotic keyboard, it’s really frustrating when they’re not available.
I'm talking about back in the day when I worked at Amazon with thousands of servers and in the 2001-2006 era we had basically no SSDs and it was all spinny rust (set the slider to 2006 and that is about my mental model). Spinny rust was always shit, so it was all about RAM and network and then the long tail siting on disk.

I'm wondering how datacenter SSDs impact architectural decisions with e.g. 'microservices' by having that new latency layer which is cheaper than RAM and faster than network.
My family does this! We call the game Demon, the piles “demon piles”, and we shout “demon” to end a round. The rules are the same as you described them, except possibly that we allow “stacking” multiple cards to place them on the same common pile simultaneously; this follows the same rules as placing them sequentially, except that (naturally) nobody else can interrupt. (I can remember a time when we played without this rule, so it may be a house rule.)
Niice, this is great. I really need to recap and otherwise tidy up my SE/30. Just dreading opening it up and finding a bunch of leaked capacitor fluid... Guess I better get on that!! Uh and the Mac Plus, too... >_> The one downside of having lots of old computers is you have to take care of them too!
wow thanks! I believe Requestly is ChromeDevTools++ and Our vision is to make MobileDevTools++ and BackendDevTools++ really soon.

I agree that war is hell, but Ukrainians are smarter than that. They’re fighting to preserve their homeland, not shower it with radiation.

Significantly higher temperatures aren’t what we’re talking about. We’re talking about a 10-15F spike.

Because heat flows at a rate proportional to the delta, it’s useful to think in terms of the delta between outdoor temperatures and desired indoor (let’s say 70 to make the math easy). So Phoenix has a few 120Fcdays a year, so delta of 50, and we’re talking 135F (so delta 65) for a 30% increase.

Most peoples AC is not sized to handle that, so it already runs basically full stop on the hottest days and can’t quite keep up. Maybe your home is 75 instead of 70. Making the exterior hotter has no effect of your power consumption once your AC is running full blast, it just makes the interior warm, so some people are going to have 80+ degree houses. They’ll be annoyed but won’t die and the power might spike let’s say 25%.

The power grids in these places are equipped for that because it’s life or death. You never hear about Vegas or Phoenix having a blackout on a particularly hot day because it’s not unexpected. Same with cold days in Minnesota. (You hear about it in California but that’s due to mismanagement and often unrelated to weather anyway.)

Now in Dallas when they froze you were looking 0F temps or thereabouts in a place where average winter temps are 56 and peak lows around 40. Further complicating it was that supplies of fossil fuels for heating ran out because it went on for so long. So you went from let’s say a 30 degree delta to 70, and electrical demand even higher than you’d expect when they ran out of natural gas and started plugging in space heaters. So you’re looking at like 2-3x previous peak demand, rather than 1.3. Nobody’s grid is prepared for that.

So again I’m fairly confident that if Phoenix hits a peak of 135 it is going to suck and a few hundred people will die for sure. It won’t be millions.

Global warming thankfully grows on 1 degree per decade kind of time scales which sucks ecologically but isn’t faster than we can grow the grid.
I've been using a CODE keyboard [0] for the last five years or so. Been pretty happy overall, the only complaint I could have is that some of the paint is wearing off on well used keys.

It is a traditional layout, no split, nothing like that. But I have personally found that I only get sore wrists and fingers when I let the room temperature get too low, so I keep it warm and my keyboard choice seems to have no effect.

All headlines are about Russians shelling a nuclear plant. You can say that's fake news, but at least provide a shred of evidence (like any article?).

> KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces pressed their attack on a crucial energy-producing Ukrainian city by shelling Europe’s largest nuclear plant early Friday, sparking a fire and raising fears that radiation could leak from the damaged power station.

It's actually not plain old settler colonialism because Jewish people are also the "indigenous" inhabitants of those lands - but instead of sharing them with the non-Jewish indigenous inhabitants (now called the "Palestinians") the militant Zionists have declared a "Jewish State" where they systematically discriminate against Palestinians (e.g. no right of return for non-Jews & hardly any building permits for non-Jews in the West Bank).

Regarding bombings & war crimes, they have indeed been done by both sides. The crimes of Palestinian terrorists are obvious, but there is widespread denial & attempted justification of the IDF's crimes, hence the topic generates a lot of writing & debate. Examples of IDF crimes are the bombing of houses with many children in assassination missions (these are obviously not preceded by warning phone-calls) [0], and the shooting of Palestinian protestors at the Gaza fence who do not pose a risk to the lives of IDF soldiers.[1] The data ([2]) also speaks for itself.

> More confusion than I expected to see on a site like Hackernews.

Kinda funny, because... you're here claiming that Nintendo is (likely) doing something illegal here and are adding to the confusion.

The thing is, the removals that are in the press right now, especially the Steam Deck one, had gameplay in them... and as far as I know and understand US law and its current interpretation, Nintendo is likely well within its rights to DMCA gameplay.
No, Ukraine disconnected from Russia on 24 Feb (almost accidentally, interestingly) and has been running in island mode since.

Physical connections to the EU have been constructed, but they are not in sync so the actual connection has not been made yet.
Okay, here's another example a la PS3 discs—it so happens that people have figured out how to download Wii U games directly from Nintendo's eShop servers. As in, any game on the eShop. You just need to track down a somewhat-sketchy Java app.

What if this capability was built into the official version of Cemu, but (!) with some sort of basic ownership check included? I'd imagine that if it's possible to pull games directly off of Nintendo's servers, there's a good chance it's also possible to query which games an account owns.

As far as I know, nobody ever looked into this. There's no interest.

If emulator developers want people to use their emulators legally, I think there are some more creative avenues that could be explored. Not in all cases, but at least in some of them.

I'm half-way through a 12-month contract, so leaving isn't any kind of existential problem for me. I've raised with my immediate manager the learning curve problems I've experienced (which he was thankful for one day, and then telling me to 'stay on task' the very next day), and he's also aware that someone that started one week before me left at the end of last year for similar reasons - I get the feeling that's water off a ducks back though.

The place of work is un-balanced towards "institutionalisation", which I've not experienced before and is likely a large part of the problem, and my take-away is to avoid such places for the rest of my (increasingly humble) career.
For a publication that always pushes for unions it seems a bit strange they are late adopters. Dont like your own food?
Warning: you're about to jump down a massive rabbit hole!

If you want a standard keyboard, DAS and WASD offer some good options.

If Ergonomics are important and you don't mind the learning curve, go for split. The Ergodox EZ is a great option here. I have 2, one for my work desk and one for home, been using them for a few years now and haven't looked back.

Whatever you do, go with a mechanical keyboard. Purely subjective, but you really can't beat the tactility of it.

In general, the side that cares about the conflict more is more likely to engage in direct conflict, and escalate to nuclear use if their goals are being thwarted by conventional war.

To Russia, Ukraine is a core interest, and thus they're the most likely to escalate to tactical nuclear weapons if NATO intervenes and Russia starts losing.

With a NATO country, that calculus changes, and if for some crazy reason Russia actually attacked a NATO country, we would have a good chance of being able to fight back and expel Russia's attack without the war going nuclear, because Russia has far less interest in winning that war, as existing NATO countries aren't core interests to Russia.

That's a great success story and I'm happy for you. But it's not really an actionable advice. How would one go about identifying a late stage startup that will have a 7 figure exit?
Given the context of them wanting to reverse engineer Yoot Tower, it's likely they want to end up with a reversed engineered codebase that compiles to a binary identical to the original release. That's how a lot of the N64 decompilations have worked at least.
