Most of these things fall within Russia's known doctrine. The daily advancement rate of the convoy is right at their by-the-book limit - it just takes time to advance an operation on the ground, and this is why airfields were targeted early on in a bid to accelerate deployment; media reports of a "slow" advance are just unrealistic analysis.

This goes for other questions about the campaign. As a large conscript force still basically using the Soviet model, weak troops are often thrown into the fire early on to soften opposition. Likewise, reliance on artillery is a byproduct of the air force being stretched thin and not reinvesting in new equipment: air dominance and precision bombing missions are expensive, and Russia's military primarily focuses on maintaining its own sovereignty, thus most of the allocation is towards a defensive air war with support provided by ground-based rockets and shelling.

However, there are severe challenges still to be reckoned with, which support the idea of Russia remaining on the back foot. The reports of abandoned vehicles, disorganized troops and stretched supplies hold some credence; again, as a conscript army it's harder to pursue delegation of responsibility like a professional force. You are getting relatively less out of more troops simply due to lack of coordination. As well, Ukraine has a smaller force but has been spurred to rearm with the assistance of foreign aid and equipment since the 2014 invasion, getting access to some of the best technologies and training of NATO forces. So Ukraine has some significant battlefield advantages, and with the cutoffs to supply chains on Russia's end, from my viewpoint, while a Russian victory could still occur if they rout the forces in major cities, a slow, protracted conflict will definitely end in Russian defeat at significant cost to civilians. The next weeks will be critical.
> I am still trying to find the best way to communicate what we are doing.

Hah.. yeah.. I like to remain anonymous, so it's difficult to discuss my own background and experience directly, but I fully get what you mean.

I've stood in front of conferences at places like AIChE and in front of the upper-staff at some of the world's largest companies and delivered talks on topics that I consider to be the basics of this field, and there seemed to be surprisingly superficial comprehension. It was weird, and communication seemed like a huge barrier.

A lot of work in this field may be more social in getting folks to accept and support stuff.
I don't believe it. A single person likely can't flag a customer without a few checks and balances.
the capital savings on electricity and floor space is not thought to make up for lost productivity.

realize most employers are leaching off your wifi, electricity, and floorspace. for free and that alone should have saved a bundle. the fact that they didn't glom on to that trick is evidence that it was thought to be not worth it.

some jobs are perfect or amenable to remote work. some aren't. some employees abuse that "privilege". many employees just need face-to-face interactions to be productive and integrated into a team, even if they also like working from home.

it could also cause a little friction if things happen like bob from FANG is still making CA $$$$ (or even $$$$ - 30%) and has moved to another state while jane from FANG who worked in that same state but was only making $$. now they live in the same city and both work remote. it's just a whole new continent of unexplored human resource problems - might just not be worth it.

some companies are liberal and want to push the envelope of new things and ways of doing things to maybe get an edge. some companies are conservative and were working with on site employees just fine thank you before this.

i don't really think it's a conspiracy of evil middle-manager toadies trying to cling on to their way of life - they aren't in charge.
Ok great, you've switched to a language which eliminates a class of memory bugs. Now what do you do about every other type of bug that exists?

You still need the exact same sort of comprehensive testing infrastructure, policies, procedures. You've perhaps marginally reduced your overall bug count at the cost of everything that comes from switching to a new language. Doesn't seem like a particularly great decision.
Sounds like breaking and entering to me, but I am not a lawyer. Not legal advice.
Tanks cost less than fighter jets, but you can hardly call the "cheap", they're typically the Army's most expensive piece of kit. The M1 Abrams costs around $10 million a pop.
There is a reasonably well documented underground economy of bribing Instagram employees to verify accounts (blue checkboxes) [0] and steal sought after usernames.[1]

Amazon employees have been convicted of bribery for taking $ to "leak information about the company’s search and ranking algorithms, as well as share confidential data on third-party sellers they competed with on the marketplace".[2]

If this happens at Facebook and Amazon, I can imagine it happening at Google.

[1] I did not find any citable evidence on the first page of Google, but it's something I've heard from friends that are into influencer stuff. Supported by a quote from [1]

"he decided to message someone with an interesting handle (a.k.a. username). That someone said they were able to take over that account because he worked at Instagram."

If you are fine with the claim America goaded Russia into war, I don't see how you can then say America doesn't have blood on its hands. Clearly both would be culpable under the premise, regardless of who deserves what share of blame.

Interslavic is based on Old Church Slavonic, which was originally a codification of the spoken language of the Slavs of Thessalonica (where Cyril and Methodius lived). Which would be the ancestors of modern Bulgarians and Macedonians, so yeah, I'd expect it to be a bit closer to Southern Slavic.
In that case, would you rely on Russia to stay neutral?

Why didn’t staying neutral prevent Russia from occupying Crimea?
Just imagine it is a write-only language like FORTH.
<sigh> I guess I'm old fashioned but I really like being able to print things (even if sometimes not to real paper).

eg. I print / save websites' ToS to PDF all the time. Over the last few years (especially from Chrome) the result looks increasingly garbled, nothing like what's on my screen. God forbid figuring out how to produce them as exhibits for litigation.

Paper-sized, static content also tends to be a convient dimension for reviewing material of substance (eg. think academic papers).

Often during tax season, or when reviewing database models or complex business logic workflows I'll print the spreadsheets / ERM / flowcharts across large 11x17 sheets that get tiled up on the walls or littered across the floor effectively giving me infinite screen space. Humans are built for working spatially like this rather than clicking back and forth endlessly between tabs. (And incidentally, coworkers have been amazed how much more efficient we become being able to crowd around such an exposition together). I'll keep doing that until wall-sized, surround-you-on-four-sides touchscreens become commonplace (or VR ergonomic enough you can't tell you're in it) along with annotation tools that match the intuitiveness of cutouts and sticky tape.

And if I have to read hundreds of pages worth of literature I still prefer to do it on paper and save myself the eyestrain.

Not bashing the new tech, it sounds cool, I just fear it will make rendering to more traditional layouts more difficult.

This is a false analogy for several reasons:
1. If, in your example, "but she was wearing a low cut top" was used as a justification by someone to physically sexually assault someone, then obviously that is wrong as we've established that rights to one's body belong to the person with said body and you need their consent. If on the other hand, you are simply looking at someone who is dressed provocatively, then while crass, that definitely is not and should not be illegal. In a public space, we each have a right to look wherever we please. We can be judged for where we look (and people should be judged for oogling at someone), but it shouldn't be illegal. There is no right to privacy in a public space for very good reasons.
2. But even if you meant it with the later case (the oogling), there is a huge difference in this case from a moral perspective, namely these are companies who are selling/monetizing their content. Thus, (a) they want you to look at their content and (b) they are ok with you paying to do so. So then your example would be much more akin to an art gallery putting their art on the public sidewalk to entice people to come in and see the art -- only to find that the people are happy to look at the free art on the sidewalk and never pay the entrance fee. No theft happened in that case. The art gallery simply had a flawed economic model where they gave away their product and then were angry no one paid for it.

If you put something in the public sphere, it is public. Simple as that. You have no right to turn your intention of how I "ought" to consume your product into forcing me to do so if you have given me your product for free.

Use a paywall, Use proper authorization.

I solely use firefox for getting around paywalls. I have it automatically clear all cookies upon exit. That way any website that gives a few free articles per month will always be free for me.

From an economics perspective, they are trying to using old school pricing tricks (e.g. bundling, price discrimination, variable unit pricing to enable 2 article users == free, 10 articles == paid) as a tool for managing their customer funnel. But the golden rule of price discrimination is it only works if you can actually prevent your customers from engaging in arbitrage and can keep them in their bucket. A store can have a policy like "limit 1 per customer" but that doesn't prevent me from getting 100 of my friends from buying the thing. If I want to clear my cookies and look like some anonymous new customer each time, there is absolutely nothing illegal OR immoral about that. That's capitalism and they have designed a pricing model that can be gamed.

China has kept a leash on North Korea because it doesn't want any military operations that aren't its own in it's area of influence. My point of comparison though was about the amount of news coverage that North Korea eats up & defocuses the US government from focusing on more important issues. Russia serves a similar purpose.

As for why China doesn't give two hoots about Russia's military escapades, Russia's military focus is far enough away that this is significantly less problematic. Russia is also a much more serious player on the world stage than North Korea - they have a significantly more important economy, military, more technologically advanced, and not as isolated (not to mention one of the largest nuclear arsenals with ostensibly functional ICBMs). China can't just threaten to overthrow the Russian government if it doesn't behave like they do with North Korea.

None of that matters though since what I said is that an aggressive Russia benefits China well enough in terms of the problems it causes the US.
Resumption Strategies for Interrupted Programming Tasks
It may or may not have been an option. If you never try it definitely wasn't an option.

I have never worked at a FAANG myself, so this might not be something that works in those places. But what I do is to simply put "Out of Office" on my calendar outside of my core working hours. I don't even have to decline. I can honestly say that it was automated and I never even saw their invite. If someone complained about it I would tell them that I can definitely make exceptions, just need to check w/ the SO as she might have a meeting she can't move and we have the kids to take care of. I also don't react well to invites over night. I have my calendar in my head well enough to know when to wake up/be home etc. for the first meeting. So something you put on my calendar "in between" will in most if not all cases not even be seen. I do not have notifications enabled on my cell. This has so far worked without fail and only a few people have ever asked me for a specific slot and moving something. Basically the OoO reply get them to rethink and at the very least they know they gotta talk to me first and can't just plug something on my calendar and I will show up.

That said, any regular meeting someone puts on my calendar in a free slot with enough notice I will simply accept, be there and do my best to contribute. Meetings someone puts in 5 minutes before (or worse, yes this has happened during the meeting) and then ping me "are you coming" will result in a very stubborn me. Yes I would quit over someone throwing a fit for my stubbornness. No it has never been necessary. They all backpaddled.

> Sounds like you own a horse more than a car

Yes, long trips require more planning. That will change once high speed chargers are more common.

> Sounds like you own a horse more than a car

The situation is extremely different for day-to-day driving.

When I owned a gas car, I had to put gas in it about once a week. Each stop at the gas station was about 10 minutes out of my way. Now I charge in my garage and I never need to go out of my way to buy gas.

I also don't need to deal with oil changes.

My gas car was a lot more of a "horse" than my Tesla!

The terrifying dystopia is already here. Try walking or taking a bus from King Street Station to Third and Virginia in Seattle without seeing human excrement and tarp shelters. The area is completely unusable.

Try eating a sandwich for lunch in Pioneer Square, or in Denny Park.

That I don't feel safe traveling through my own city because it is overrun by mentally unstable people is unacceptable. Neither they nor I should live like this.

We have rules and norms in a civilization. When we ignore real problems like mental health everyone suffers and those norms break down. I am not in favor of adjusting our norms to include "well you can't use public spaces because we don't care about mental health".
I stand corrected, Ukraine has not dared bomb Russian territory too much :/

> I wonder to what extent advice and training of Ukrainian forces, not to mention real-time intelligence, has aided the Ukrainians in denying Russia air superiority.

I read somewhere that Soviet-style air defense turn out to be most effective against Soviet-style air forces. Basically Western militaries have never invested heavily in SAMs, but invested heavily in anti-SAM weapons an tactics; while Soviet-style militaries did the opposite. That leaves Soviet-style forces with with very good SAM capabilities and weak air forces without the ability to counter it.
> But by analogy, it's like putting your TV on mute when the ads are playing - the producer made the show freely available expecting ad consumption.

The difference is that you need to actively mute your TV every time! You're probably not going to do it for every commercial break, and even if you do, you'll likely catch at least a bit of the first ad. It's really that first ad's fault for not grabbing your attention quickly enough while it had the chance.

Put another way, the advertiser is paying for ad space, and it's the advertiser's responsibility to use that space in a way which catches your attention. Whether the advertiser succeeds or fails is nobody else's problem. An adblocker, however, completely removes the ad space.
DesignJoy is hiring, so you're not wrong!
People keep wanting to chalk this up to Russian incompetence. But I feel like a far more likely explanation is electronic sabotage. Planes are complex electronic, connected instruments. They rely heavily on computers and electronic sensors.

As fun as it is to dunk on the Russians for their incompetence here, it seems far more likely to me that it's a sign of the profound competence of the US/NATO at electronic warfare. IMO this explanation accounts for at least half of what's being chalked up to "logistics" failures on the Russian's part.
> actually spending years learning about it,

I mean, I did this for fun while I was still in high school. Did I put in a lot of hours? Yes. Were there some frustrating bits? Sure. But I know plenty of people who had to put far more work in to get mediocre grades in their high school qualifications than I've ever put into learning programming.
An interesting fact from this study is that it takes about 15 minutes for an engineer to resume programming after an interruption, and about a hour a day is spent trying to resume programming after interruptions.
It's cool to think about how as humans we're actually running into situations where we have to consider the speed of light.

The idea is sound. A major version incompatibility means the library is a different library. In the Java world, Apache Commons Collections does this. There it is helpful since you can then have multiple versions of Collections in a single program.

In the Golang case, encoding this is smart, especially since Golang's structural typing makes it easier to use. However, there is an ergonomics problem. I knew of all these things and I still had trouble upgrading a Golang FUSE driver recently. It's worth keeping in mind that I don't write code as a matter of course.
Yes.
Non violent resistance and just leaving the country is a healthy strategy.

Obviously I've had the complete opposite experience with AWS support and they have solved some tricky not-obvious problems that ended up being escalated to the development teams, as well as normal problems, and one guy actually stood by on a Zoom call for an hour listening to us solve problems just so my boss wouldn't panic - he'll may not really appreciate how much he helped the situation just by being there, but I got my AWS account rep to help get a thank-you note to him and his manager the next day.

One thing I have found is that all of their new guys start off on e-mail support, and they tend to quote documentation at you more. If you have a real problem that is not you being too lazy to read (I see my peers open a lot of support tickets with questions I know are discussed clearly in the documentation), its best to start off with a chat so you can get a more senior support person involved, answer any of their questions or collect any screen shots or evidence they need, then let them exit the chat to do their research, testing, escalation on their side. You'll get a resolution within a couple hours.
