You’re conflating sales pitches with actual business decisions that management make. I’ve been on the decision making board for a few companies and the pragmatic reality is the only time people cite security as the reason for moving to the cloud is when:

1. They’ve lost all their sysadmins / security staff and thus need to outsource that governance

2. When they’re looking to delegating responsibility (ie say to the customers “it’s an Azure issue, they’re fixing it”).

In both instances it’s not about Azure / AWS / GCP being more secure, it’s about _WHO_ owns the responsibility for securing.

The difference is important.

More often the actual reasons for migrating to the cloud are cited as cost saving (which is often misunderstood too but that’s another topic) and quicker deployment times (this is probably the strongest valid argument in my opinion)
I wished the android intent system was adopted by mac (or windows). the share with/open with landscape and workflow is very patchy.

case in point: I have blender and five 3d model viewers installed but still often get zilch options when I try to open a model from the web.

I feel, in your example, that the first code block is infinitely more useful to the maintainer than the second. It literally tells the reader what each step is *supposed* to do.

That second example tells the reader that it is doing, which may or may not be what it was supposed to be doing.

As a maintainer, I prefer knowing that:

(add(salt, mix(water, flour))

is supposed to result in a salted batter, which the first code block tells me but the second one does not.
Well, more at our land borders. Europe didn't give a rats ass about the refugees at the actual shores before.

Ignoring my inner cynic, it is good that we, the European countries, help Ukraine and the Ukrainian refugees, very good. But yes, I think the West is very much used to start wars in far away countries where we can ignore the consequences in our daily lives. Now someone else started it, close to our homes, and all of a sudden we cannot ignore it anymore. Comes as quite a shock to some, it seems.
And photos were never used in court?
Yeah that’s all true but we lost quite a lot in the transition too.
Post-secondary schooling is mostly about selection and signaling. Actual contributions to human capital are real, but a small component of the apparent ROI of formal schooling.

So-called "free" college leads people to spend prime years of their life in a tournament game that rewards the winners but is, in aggregate, less productive or even educational than other things they could have spent those years doing.
During LE-eBook reading sessions, the light-emitting device was set to maximum brightness and placed in a stand that held it at a fixed angle. This stand was placed on a table directly in front of the individual at a 30- to 45-cm distance from their eyes. Participants were allowed to turn pages on the LE-eBook, but were asked not to hold it while reading or make any adjustments to the settings. During the printed book reading sessions, participants were allowed to hold the book at any desired distance from their eyes.

Note that maximum brightness on an iPad is intended for reading in direct sunlight.

This was specifically about this conflict.
it is pretty easy to find strings of light sockets, similar to christmas lights, with sockets for regular bulbs, meant for stringing up around cookout areas. The bulbs with dozens of LEDs lined up on "filaments" don't need power conversion, so are very efficient and cool-running. Hanging them involves just strategically placed hooks, or even nails. They are perfectly silent.
Seeing this and “Regrets of the Dying” both on the front-page definitely adds cause for some reflection in life at the moment.
Put this into the next C2x and we won't need Rust anymore.
First off, I think saying "But I reckon this isn't about logic?" feels a tad incendiary and not particularly charitable to the people in these situations.

To the point you're making though, I don't think it's so straightforward in all cases. If you're not well off and your life is being completely uprooted either way, it's a much more complex calculus than just, say, going to Poland.
That's completely backwards. Mapreduce-like approaches are how SQL datastores are implemented underneath; the absolute best case for SQL is to equal hand-tuned mapreduce-like performance, and often it will be slower (you're at the mercy of your query planner to pick the right indices, do joins in the right order, etc.). The main reason people use SQL is because they find it easier to express a query that way (which is completely legitimate - if your query planner is good enough most of the time, you've got better things to be doing than hand-tuning your query execution).
Preventive healthcare.

It's way cheaper than treatments and medicines once you're sick and the best part, you don't get sick that much.

And that's something private healthcare can't provide, or at least not as effectively as the public healthcare.
I remember reading once that if humans didn’t die of old age, on average something like 99% of all people would get cancer by the time they were ~2,000 years old.
For anyone that doesn't immediately recognize the "Z-pinch device" ... its one of the most amazing machines in the world to see when running... not that you'll see it with your eyes... for very good safety reasons... but when people talk about high energy physics being all about dull particle accelerators I like to point out the Z-Pinch device as an example of high energy physics that has spectacular visual effects associated with it, the sort we normally associate with special effects in movies.

The "flashover" which is captured wonderfully here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_Pulsed_Power_Facility#/media... is just amazing.
Then when you're on your death bed you realise that ultimately it was all futile, because no matter what you did or how successful you could have been at it: every life ends up at the same point you are at now.

The point is, I don't think it's as simple as that.
Not inherently, though.
I doubt it's much harder to find good high bay lamps than it is to find good E27 lamps, and expect the opposite once you cross the 20-30 W limit that's realistic for a passively cooled normal-sized E27.
It’s remarkable what tipping and basic human decency can do

Of course we now need an experiment to disentangle those two variables! One team tips very well, but treats the staff badly , one team treats the staff with plenty of human decency, but doesn't tip. Then we measure the quality of service received by the two groups. I wonder if I can apply for a research grant?
> This is genuinely not an attempt at flamewar but why can't civilians just leave?

They are. I think the count is up to two million or something.

> Russia is obviously going to win.

That's not so obvious. For instance: the US failed to win against much weaker opponents than the Ukrainians.

> The logical thing to do is to leave, suffer but be sure that your kids will have it better. But I reckon this isn't about logic?

Or it is about logic, but your "logic" is too shallow of an analysis.
Is there anyone here in Fiji who can say they are OK?
You don’t want to get in the hardware business here and in most countries you are probably not even allowed to deploy your own raspberry-pi based solution in a public bus, because it doesn’t fulfill the necessary security requirements and certifications.

That is why you have specialized sub-contractors who provide you with tested, certified, ruggedized hardware which you can install into the vehicles. It will also have connections for most proprietary ports you find in those environments. Of course it’ll cost you.
It’s not as easy to leave as you think.

In the case of Palestinians especially, finding easy citizenship elsewhere is not simple.
See, Human Rights Watch doing witness interviews and picture analysis is what I call evidence. Some video or picture somewhere on social media not so much. I've seen to many of those, from wars years ago in different parts of the world than the one the claim to be from, to actually believe any of those anymore.
This was very useful. Thank you.

I know someone going through cancer treatment right now. They got some bad news a few weeks ago. Now they are taking two weeks off. They are very private about their issues, so I wasn’t sure what was happening. This article made me realize they are going through chemo and what that means. I hope it helps me be more accommodating.
People do all sorts of things to "be healthy". That's great, if they are doing it to have a better life. But I get the impression some are doing it in an attempt to overcome death.
Is it subtle? Wikipedia says Ukraine was in the “Intensified Dialog” phase which apparently means they are engaged in ‘discussion of a "full range of political, military, financial and security issues relating to possible NATO membership“‘

That's me and my experience with testicular cancer. No known causes, no family history, no risk factors other than being a white male. I was even outside the typical age range.

No, I don’t think that this should be considered a valid program. I would never allow any code that creates a partly–initialized struct in any code that I maintain.

I agree that it’s a hard problem, but I don’t think that language designers should use that as an excuse. I think that language designers should really double–down and require that every field be initialized, otherwise people will just forget. The code will be carefully written at first, but then someone new will come along and add a new field, and then the existing code is insufficient. With no errors from the compiler there is no way to ensure that the new programmer updates everything to accommodate the new field.

Rust does pretty well in this regard, but you can still use unsafe blocks to get a partly–initialized struct if you really want one. I like Rust, but I wish that it went all the way and didn’t allow it at all.

Ask HN: Did any one or any thing predict the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
I know there were myriad people over the past 20 years who were calling all the NATO expansion decisions disastrous and very likely to lead to war and even world war, but I'm more interested in real and recent actual predictions of whether Russia was going to attack and/or invade (a more serious commitment to your strategic goals).

Were there any analysts, historians, stock traders, redditors, HNers, conventional or AI systems, tarot card readers, shamans, etc. who correctly predicted that Russia would attack -- invade -- Ukraine 'in the next three' months or similar?

There are plenty of sports analysts on ESPN, for example, who will say things like:

> If Lebron plays like an MVP, they will likely win the chip. But if Lebron plays like less than an MVP, then they might not win it all. But maybe not either or both.

Highly qualified 'nothing' statements like this are not interesting.

I'm talking about someone who publicly staked their reputation on their prediction -- someone who was so convinced of their correctness and the soundness of the facts of the case and the competing interests and dynamics -- that they were willing to actually say it out loud and/or in print.

To me, now, looking back on it, it seems completely predictable -- and I feel like it only took me fifteen minutes to learn the relevant background and come to this conclusion -- which suggests to me that most serious analysts would have had to have been pretty confident (>90%) that this invasion would happen. In other words, any serious analyst should have predicted this.

On a side note, I do think it's funny how I, upon knowing about the Russian buildup on the Ukrainian border, and paid some attention to it, would not have immediately declared publicly and loudly, "They're going to invade you/we **** idiots! We have to do something!"

I think back to WWII and similar scenarios when you read about troop/border buildups and think, "Gosh -- how asleep/gullible did the whole world have to be to _not_ understand what was happening? IDIOTS."

Well, now I'm one of those who was too asleep / gullible / IDIOTIC.

And I think if we're being honest, that's probably 99% of the world or more.
No, it won’t still be meaningless; it is not a different issue, and that’s exactly the point.

I think grasping this is a fundamental step towards escaping a very egocentric view of life.
If you analyze them, and back them up, sure. If you take them from an un-vetted source on the internet, not so much. Wouldn't be the first time pictures from different wars were used as "evidence" for crimes in another war.
Russia bombarded the designated areas where civilians were supposed to be able to flee cities. There were also mines found in some of those.

And the humanitarian corridors Russia recently designated lead to Belarus and Russia, which is not where the people want to be. The Russian effort to "help the civilians" are just deeply cynical PR and misdirection.
I think the person who said that was Ben Wallace, Secretary of State for Defence
I think Fabrice Bellard (ffmpeg, qemu, Bellard's formula, quickjs, tinygl, tinycc), could _already_ be considered the Han Solo of programmers.
I went to CarMax so I could pay a sticker price I found acceptable without that feeling of having been tricked. Carvana is similar I believe.
Maybe too specific, but a better ventilation while soldering and 3D printing is also a good idea.

There is some research that links flight attendants to higher rates of cancer, especially breast cancer and skin cancer:

It seems that the title claims this person was healthy, but apparently also in a higher-risk occupation. Cannot say how much the occupation influence things, looking at the article probably very little, but I think it's relevant to mention it.
The women and children are leaving. There are four of them in our flat (grandmother, mother, two daughters) here in the Czech Republic.

The men are staying and fighting.
The men who were in our country have gone back to fight.

Fuck Putin
Some good abstractions would really help with these kinds of allocators.
Lot of people left. People who stayed couldn’t leave or decided to defend their country, culture, and values. Also keep in mind that Russian are targeting citizens and refuse to keep paths open to let people flee safely.
> You forgot this is the second war in European territory after the Yugoslavian wars.

Yugoslavia wasn't a member of the EU.
We're on HN, so I hope to pull on technicality and not get _completely_ bashed ;-)

OP mentioned (and I didn't check) that 2/3 of incidents are non-controllable, and not that we can't control 2/3 of causes, that's completely different. I'm going to naïvely assume that it's much harder to have a clean slate (no meat, no pollution etc., healthy lifestyle etc.) than to live in carcinogenic to some degree environment.

As a thought exercise I'm assuming (completely sucked out of the finger) numbers in which 95% of population lives in carcinogenic environment and 5% has a clean slate. 2/3 cases being uncontrolled in such heavily swayed population would pretty much make any control pointless. If I remember correctly there's a method for calculating this, but I long forgot it. For comparison regarding chance perception "casino always wins" relates to a 1-5% house edge on games, and here we're talking about potential 33.3%.

Current knowledge is that human body consist of dozens trillions of cells which regenerate on variable rate (some couple days, some couple years). There's quite a lot of times where chance can go sideways and spawn something you don't want.

Those numbers are completely offtopic and without any base whatsoever (and once again, I didn't verify OPs claims). Spiraled on numbers :)
That's the Syria playbook - which was quietly supported by the US/Europe. Our sins come back at us.
That includes things like smoking and lung cancer.

So yes, if you stop smoking you can have a significant impact on your chances of getting cancer.
> Outside of legacy systems, Hadoop isn't widely used anymore.

This is not true at all. Almost all the cloud providers have their own Hadoop distributions that is used a lot in many companies.
This.

In Vietnam, Americans (a small minority) collected ears of those they killed. The Viet Cong held barrels with rats to stomachs and burned the other end, forcing rats to eat through stomachs.

In Rwanda, neighbors killed neighbors with their bare hands.

In World War 2, +150,000 civilians were wiped instantaneously.

In former Yugoslavia, neighbors lined neighbors up and executed them.

There is no war without war crimes. And as usual, it’s the citizens that suffer, rarely the elite.
That's a very promising statistic! I'd have also believed it if the 99% mark was pinned around ~200 years old instead of ~2000. As a sort of hard cap on longevity, 2000 is quite a decent lifespan :-)
It sure is. Ukraine is using that weapon masterfully so. Kudos for that, and I really mean it. The net result for me being that I ignore the news and only check once every couple of days if a major city has fallen or not. Everything else is just propaganda, including most media coverage, combined with the normal attention and click gathering reporting we se on any story.

That's why confirmation and vetting by orgs like, e.g., Human Rights Watch is so important.
It’s a good question. It would be nice to see a list kind of like a vehicle maintenance schedule.

I know it depends on age, gender, other risk factors, and how much money you have to pay for “optional” testing.

My sincere admiration for the author's strength in the face of this terrible hardship.

A person can also avoid cancer by choosing a career that is not cancer-inducing. Given the author's cabin crew history:

3.4% of female flight attendants reported having had breast cancer compared with 2.3% of women in the general population group
2.2% of female flight attendants reported having had melanoma skin cancer compared with 0.98% of women in the general population group
1.2% of male flight attendants reported having had melanoma skin cancer compared with 0.69% of men in the general population group
7.4% of female flight attendants reported having had non-melanoma skin cancer compared with 1.8% of women in the general population group
3.2% of male flight attendants reported having had non-melanoma skin cancer compared with 2.9% of men in the general population group

I enjoyed reading the article but I don’t really see the angle here. So they went into a domain they are not familiar with and where we have established seasoned players (yes you can have every bus or tram or train or boat equipped with most state of the art hardware, even clusters.) and started rolling their own hardware.

Most problems encountered here are pretty standard and known so this blog post is more about entering any production environment where you are new and not about deploying to buses in particular. I find the lessons learned here also a bit too vague. I hope it offered more return on investment for them internally.
> As cliché as it may sound, health really is wealth. All the money in the world can’t buy you perfect health

Sometimes I feel mortality and health issues are a good reality check for the super rich who think their money can buy everything in the capitalist world.

Cancer is often random, just like how it was random that she married a guy who went on to become a billionaire. You can't have everything in life.
I highly recommend looking into the history of Ukraine over the last 20-30 years in this case.

The West/EU/NATO doesn’t court. And they’re extremely careful about generating the impression or sending a message that they’re actively pulling countries into their “sphere of influence”.

For the process of inclusion to work there has to be undeniable proof that it is a democratic process that shows that the people of that country actively want membership. Poland managed to pull this off in the 90’s when Russian influence was weak and memories of Soviet influence were vivid. And even then the process was slow and difficult - the “West” is a demanding club to join.
There has been a lot of hopeful, and daresay wishful thinking so far, but even Boris Johnson was warning of this potentiality a couple of days into the invasion, and I doubt that thought had only just occurred.

I have seen this article many times over the years. And I do believe it's a fine piece but also that it would great to see what people said coming from different cultures. And at the same time it would be great to read about what had made people happy in life.
Agreed, commenting assembly is bit different "environment" to explain the "why?". You're explaining why you're putting a value in a register vs why you're calling some particular API or whatever in a higher-level language. And then you have COBOL...
I'd just add signs of skin changes too:

- New moles.

- Moles that increases in size.

- An outline of a mole that becomes notched.

- A spot that changes colour from brown to black or is varied.

- A spot that becomes raised or develops a lump within it.

- The surface of a mole becoming rough, scaly or ulcerated.

- Moles that itch or tingle.

- Moles that bleed or weep.

- Spots that look different from the others.
