This kind of sharp ideological turn is typical for outbreak of wars.

From what I have read, both the 1870 Prussian-French war and the outbreak of WWI in 1914 were followed by huge outpouring of militarist attitudes, even though there wasn't even radio (much less TV or Internet) and most common people didn't read newspapers, or rarely so.

We seem to have a collective subroutine for turning into murderous apes in our societal firmware. It was probably adaptive once. It may not be as adaptive in the nuclear age.
Think of all the security vulnerabilities and patent violations that would become apparent in case the Verilog is released too.
I didn’t spot any lies (just some opinions at the end) so I think you’re making a bit of a leap to label his post propaganda.

Whataboutism and a tangent though for sure.
To me the videos feel like a sustained form of clickbait. I keep expecting a payoff at the end of the video, but instead he sort of weaves together a grand narrative that nevertheless feel unfulfilling to my analytical mind. Take this video for instance. In the beginning he talks about analog computers and how they differ from digital computers. Then he talks about how neural networks work. Then he explains how neural networks could be better if they used analog values. But he doesn't ever get around to proving the title of the video ("we're building computers wrong"). He doesn't even convincingly show that we could build an analog neural network given current technology. His video format is just a lofty premise, a middle full of glossed-over science, and a disappointing conclusion with no hard takeaways.
Instinctively it makes sense that Putin doesn't want NATO on his doorsteps, but at the same time, why not? He already has NATO in the Baltics, and it's not like NATO would try to invade Russia just because they are neighbours. They are showing now very clearly that they are not interested in a conflict with Russia.

Sure I understand it's not black and white, but NATO is already the stronger party, by far, so what does it REALLY matter if they put up some more bases nearby?
This is something broken with the internet. That website need a strong ranking on google search to stay afloat is a symptom of a much larger problem with how the internet operates in this day and age.

At the end of the day you are stealing and looting not just from the company, but the everyday people who work for that company, who are just trying to make a living for themselves and their families, and no rationalization will change that.

And to the car analogy: Let's say I was stolen from, but I'm so lazy I still can't be bothered to lock my car. Or I leave it open for some other reason. This has zero effect on the morality of the thief stealing from my car. It just means I'm an easy target for stealing. Two completely separate things.
Absolute failure to communicate on their part.

One thing I love about Jira is the paper trail. I always make sure comms goes through it or is pasted into it.

I was accused and DISCIPLINED for not responding to a request to fix something minor while on vacation. I showed the paper trail, it did nothing. I was still “monitored for improved feedback”. When I got a new boss however, I showed him everything and he said he has been told of this incident (as a potential bad employee) and acknowledged this was proof the old boss was full of shit.
Check out the work of Kofi Odame on implementing algorithms in analog circuitry on integrated circuits:

https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/community/faculty/kofi-oda...

He's interested in creating analog circuits that are more efficient than digital ones for signal processing and machine learning.

I've programmed an analog computer when I was working in the military-industrial complex long ago, implemented a standard missile guidance algorithm for an IR missile using a dual feedback loop and adjustable nav ratio. It was kind of like programming with wires to implement math. It had noise limitations on accuracy, in part because of the many wires exposed to florescent lights and digital computers in the room. Quite interesting. I think the Analog Thing might make a good EuroRack music making module! Turn math into music.
Putin doesn't want to occupy Kyiv, he just wants to draw attention away from the south, where he's almost completed a land bridge with Crimea.

At some point I would like people to quit vilifying a completely legitimate business setup because it doesn't fit their world view.

I want to be in the office, and I prefer it when my coworkers are there too. I respect that not everyone feels the same - but I do think it is up to the employer to decide. So I will be picking companies that suit my preferences.
The threat to hospitals is essentially gone now that immunity is widespread thanks to vaccines and recoveries. All that most restrictions were ever intended to do was to stop everyone getting sick at once, which would have resulted in mass casualties from lack of healthcare resources.

Maybe the team behind pageless sees footnotes from a print-oriented perspective.

I would look at them as sort of a content enrichment. Like a comment applied to the text.

Pageless has comments. Why would it be so bad to place footnotes alongside with comments? Or perhaps on the left side, below the headings index?
It was the right machine for the time in both cases.
Perhaps, but in a normal business partnernship, you have contracts that spell out the terms and means of recourse. With Google ad services, you have vague ToS spelled out by one party and no real recourse.

> that was blocked for promoting birth control

I can't let this pass without commenting on it. When did promoting birth control become a problem ? Is Google run by some religious cabal who believe that we shouldn't contradict God's will ? I assume the intention is to keep various groups in the USA happy ? Would be interested to know if you can "promote birth control" outside of the USA.
You are leaving out:

- Disposable autoclavable bags

- Spawn (either grain or some form of sugar water)

- Disposable lab equipment (scalpels, petri dishes, parafilm, syringes, etc). Some of this doesn't need to be disposable but then you spend more energy cleaning and sterilizing it.

- All the energy that goes into sterilization, humidification, etc.
I don't believe this is about NATO.

What Putin does not want is Ukraine as a democratic state where a president loses an election and steps down peacefully. Ukraine is "small Russia" and Russians could start asking questions.
Yes, the Russians ended up in control of it after the armored column arrived a day or two later.
I really don't think it makes sense. The time to threaten occupying Kyiv was before the war. Now that they started, every day they can't take Kyiv is another public display of humiliation for the Russian army. Can't believe Putin actually wanted this outcome.
Bingo. Not FAANG but it definitely works like that in Ubisoft.

It would be great to be able to declare a dependency with an alias at the go.mod level. Rather than requiring the publisher of a dependency to update their paths you can choose.

That way if a dependency does a minor upgrade that breaks your code but you also need some new functionality, you could depend on the old code in a particular package and new code in another.
I daily drive Linux and attempt to game on it when I can.

The biggest obstacles (at least for Proton) keeping me from deleting my Windows partition:

- Online multiplayer games with anti-cheat (solved or soon to be solved by EAC + Proton integration)

- The fact that not every game "just works". I frequently run into games (most recently, Elden Ring) which don't even launch, and the error/bug reporting experience is terrible. I'm a relatively technical person, and yet even after going through the trouble to get logging set up and figure out what is even going on when the game doesn't launch, there is still often not a clear path to fixing my problem. Obviously some of this is just inherent in the combinatoric explosion of problematic cases you get from running a DX -> Vulkan compatibility shim for an OS with 100s of distros, but it's a big obstacle.

- I recently got a top of the line GPU, but before that the performance difference was occasionally enough that I would just switch to Windows for a game that otherwise worked OK on Linux.

I suspect we are going to see some turmoil in the tech hiring space with stock prices taking a beating in recent months. Large companies have gotten away with paying under market price for talent because employees have seen massive gains from stock appreciation over the last decade. If total comp starts going down year over year, suddenly the more traditional, no-frills system at places like Apple, Microsoft and Amazon isn't going to look nearly as attractive, especially compared to companies one tier below that are already offering higher comp and more flexible work options.
There is hardly any threat of that at this point. At least not in areas with high vaccination rates.
“Obsolete” is about all the Russian defense industry can produce. Russia’s defense industry has struggled to produce modern fighters and equipment. Russia touted the new Su-57 fighter and T-14 Armata tank but have hardly delivered any. Most of what their defense industry can build is upgraded versions of Soviet-designed fighters and armor

I was answering a specific question as to why now, not assigning blame or cause. There we also lots of donated arms funded by NATO.

Keep in mind that in this time period the US also had a bombing campaign on Russian allied Syria and was actively killing Russian troops there.

My point is not to say one side is right or wrong, but show that Russia and US relations were very hostile, with attacks, military posturing, and threats from both sides.
I believe this is the same video, the author theorized (probably correctly) that it was because there was residual 'power' on the wire, as it acts like a giant capacitor, among other things. this is because the wire that immediately showed up was extremely small and dissipated very quickly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vrhk5OjBP8
In FPS, most of the people playing are also bad, but their behaviors can be coherent. The enjoyable part is the random nature of your opponents and the context of the conflicts.

Yet using mycelieum for packing materials requires lots of disposable plastic to convert something already suitable for a packing material (sawdust) into a different material suitable for packing material with a little green washing.
I'm not exactly sure how it would change the gameplay, but I wonder what it would be like if the starting point wasn't always in a corner?

Also - not a fan of the timer.
I think Russia fears an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish approach to geopolitics where their historic power is diminished or extinguished by an encroaching NATO as it absorbs nations at the periphery of the previous local hegemon.
I imagine they're complaining about the technical interview. For the record, when I did the technical interview I didn't find it too onerous -- mostly a more advanced sort of FizzBuzz to check you could do some intermediate math and handle basic data structures and logic flow.

My understanding is that at Apple this can vary quite a lot in difficulty or depth depending on what team you're looking at, and who is interviewing you.
I can verify that it's that way (without the spaces) in the original. Sometimes you had to do it to fit all the code in two screen lines, because that was the maximum line length. So it probably became a habit for some programmers.
Invading Russia would be pushing the bear into a tight corner.

This is setting up camp in another ecosystem where the bear isn’t supposed to be at all, has no claim.
I'm no fan of the USian empire, but there is a categorical difference between playing the propaganda / political puppet game to affect a democratic process, and open war against another sovereign country because you don't like the result.

All this talk of Russia getting upset that "its" sphere of influence would rather look westward is completely writing off the agency of individual countries that haven't been part of the USSR for over a generation. There are very good reasons why Ukraine et al look West instead of East - chiefly riches and individual freedoms. Russia could have riches, but instead suffers from the resource curse. Russia could have liberalized, but instead continued to rely on (and is now even tightening up) uniparty-based censorship.

Say what you will about the failings and pathologies of Western liberalism. In fact, it's your patriotic duty to do so! But never take it for granted.

Apple sells the LG Ultrafine 5k which is 27". It's not Apple made but iirc they worked with LG to design it. I really like mine, the high dpi is fantastic. I have a 27" 1440p next to it that is pretty much relegated to being a Spotify screen because looking at text on it feels vastly inferior to the LG.

Set theory and the basics of Modern Algebra should be taught in tandem with Type theory/objects. I feel like I "learned how to learn" quantum mechanics from Stanford's intro Java/CS curriculum. Abstraction as a subject would open a lot of mental doors for people in disparate areas of STEM I think.

Apple Park doesn't even house the majority of Apple employees in the Bay Area. They could easily keep that campus at 100% occupancy if it was just about justifying that investment.
For me, the shift in perception isn't going to happen before the technological leap.

The best driver aid systems I've seen are still just well-executed implementations of lane keep/change assist and radar cruise control- technologies that have been available in luxury cars for ~15 years. None of this stuff is actually new technology. It took decades to make existing driver aid technologies reliable and cheap enough to make them available to the average new car buyer. I have no reason to believe it will get easier from here.

I also have no reason to believe that the legal dilemmas behind autonomous driving features will go away. One of two things must happen- in fatal accidents caused by a car operating autonomously:

1. The driver (occupant?) will be liable. OR,

2. The manufacturer will be liable.

Option (1) is unprecedented, morally reprehensible, and would likely be overturned when some manufacturer eventually screws up on a Ford Pinto scale. Option (2) means that autonomous driving features will forever be hampered by the "keep your hands on the wheel!" warning bells that we already deal with today.
Deep questions about data structures and sorting algorithms that are perfectly addressed by the standard library in JS iirc. I understand that virtually anything in CS is or can be relevant, especially for such a competitive role. I don't think one should limit their knowledge wholly to a specific domain, but it seemed like there was so much emphasis put on these kinds of concepts that there was very little time left to put emphasis on things that actually might be relevant in the day to day. Beyond that though, I can't say. That's all I got out of it.
Great advice--I found out I had astigmatism nearly 20 years ago when going to the Eye Dr. for my first pair of computer glasses. I've been having them add #1 rose tint and Crizal ever since!
That would be incredibly unpleasant for a text heavy game. Valve has standards for this:

"text legibility: interface text must be easily readable at a distance of 12 inches/30 cm from the screen. In other words, the smallest on-screen font character should never fall below 9 pixels in height at 1280x800...we recommend aiming for 12px whenever possible.)"

> Why would we ever allow others to label us based on our ancestors choices?

It seems quite understandable that people whose your ancestors were kings, presidents and other notable figures would be in favor of being given a leg up based on the status of their ancestors.
I really hope this date sticks. As a single person, along with many of my single colleagues, we don't get much social interaction and being stuck inside for the past two years has really hurt our mental health. I am all for heads of families working from home to be with their families, this is beautiful, but I can't do that.

The Canadians feds were also notorious for planting bombs back in the 70’s and try to pin it down on political opponents.

> The Russians have never come up in the context of Canadian politics in my recent memory. Not as far as I can recall. Can you, or are you projecting American politics again?

Absolutely. 4 years of “the Russians have to be behind this” and nothing happening here in America. And then suddenly we start hearing the same thing from the (liberal) media over there. What a coincidence. Almost as if they tried everything to see what would stick!

Second amendment & Legal weapons. Notice no crimes were committed using said weapon and they refrained from answering the question whether these were legally owned.

Putting away the scams, environmental concerns, and lack of regulation is a big caveat though. They are an inherent cost to the crypto space that currently lack an immediate resolution (to my knowledge).

How much "previously economically inviable things" are captured by NFTs and crypto anyways? I have not seen any potential usescases that outweigh even the inherent environmental cost of cryptocurrency.
I totally get why they charge, and for what they do - can't blame anyone for not working for free - I just genuinely can't picture a value proposition in the product commiserate with the effort.

At least personally, I find fonts are something that normalize very quickly. If I change the font on my text editor, I'd notice for a day or so but then it would cease to be 'a font' and go back to being 'words on screen'. I've only really noticed 'displeasure' at a working font[1] when I've got two machines and the settings wind up desynced so one doesn't look like 'how it's supposed to' according to my brain.

Yeah, it's luck. It's perfectly healthy to frame things as: I took a deep interest in computers for which expertise is now in high demand.

I'm in the same boat: loved computers early on and had no interest in pursuing them professionally (I was eight when I started programming). It's lucky because I could just as well have loved botany, or auto mechanics, or pottery, etc but I happened to pick the one that later in life was in high demand.

Sure, yeah, I worked hard, but not because "I want to make MONEY when I get older!" but simply because I had the interest (and supportive parents...luck again). The alignment of my early interests and market conditions today are 100% luck. And that's what you need: to be in the right place at the right time. I'd attribute my success to 10% personal factors and 90% external factors.

You still need to work your ass off for that 10%, but the other 90% is all out of your hands, and it's ok to acknowledge this (and that doesn't mean you feel guilty). In fact, if we ever want to create a world where the ratio is not 90/10, but 80/20 or 60/40 or dare I say 50/50, we need to acknowledge just how much of our lives is out of our control.
I absolutely disagree with everything said here.

Maven naming convention is absolutely atrocious. And don't tell me that naming convention is optional. To be part of Java ecosystem Maven naming convention is a requirement.
> Meanwhile if you can work well remote, you can probably work well at a desk.

This is sadly not universal. I’d wagger there’s a decent number of people who could only barely work in an office.

I’ve memories of people who had issues keeping themselves and/or desk clean, and it wasn’t some cute story to laugh at, it had a direct impact on their performance and if their managers found any good excuse they’d be out pretty quick.

Then all the IRL office harrasment stuff, the one that looms at a level HR doesn’t give a fuck but you still deal with it every fucking day. Going remote makes it weirdly easier on both sides, I guess some people just couldn’t help it and now they have a private space where they can do what they need to calm down.

I’d say there’s a infinite number of circumstances, up until now we’d just think these people are just not fitted to work at any place. Working remote changes a lot of these pre-requisites.
