I’m on day 1 of 30 days of no social media, and I’ve kept all my apps on my phone and haven’t made any restrictions to me being able to access it. I feel like it’s helping me build up resiliency to saying “no” longer term with a reset period as the buffer for change. Wish me luck!
Your game looks beautiful. Love the artwork

It was an honest question. I lived/studied in Germany back when he was chancellor, but I won’t pretend to know the ins and outs of German politics.

The reason why I don't have TikTok installed. Facebook is manageable, TikTok is a 2 hour rabbit hole of "oh crap, it's 2am and I've got work in the morning".

FB has recently added Instagram reels to the app. Not quite TikTok but it's getting to a point where I work out how to disable them or I uninstall FB for the first time in a decade.
Do explain please?
This is similiar to how Smart Health Codes (COVID-19 QR Code) work, they contain JWTs which link to the public key. You keep a list of valid public URLs to trust.
I can empathise with you. Warning : some armchair psychology ahead :
I think it's the age old "less dopamine kick" syndrome. Your brain is used to getting a steady stream of dopamine when you watch/react/post on social media. A book simply doesn't give it (yet). From personal experience, I experience "Aha!" moments when I read once in about 15 days. What I'd recommend is to re-read some of your old favourites and pick up adjacent ones (example : re-read Harry Potter - Prisoner of Azkaban (my favorite ;) and pick up some Greek mythology . ) Finding unexpected connections is one source of joy I experience. Good luck!
There's no reason to think it would shutdown in the absence of human intervention. It's extremely stable. Last time it shut down, it was due to elevated CO2 and temperatures, and the conditions that led to that won't naturally reoccur any time soon.
I don’t know. Maybe it’s conspiracy minded, but in my opinion Putin will publicly pretend to be hurt by the sanctions (and acknowledge the depressed ruble and so on) as a so-called “act of war” so that the world can hear him acknowledging NATO countries as “doing something.” This serves many ways: Putin projects as vulnerable, sanctions are optically seen as successful measures, NATO countries get to say they’re helping, and all the way Russia gets to keep bombarding Ukraine…

I’m inclined to believe the former opinion that gas price hikes ultimately affect the average person and elite persons need not care. Putin and his inner circle operate at a level of power that is above even money. To an oligarch money is a toy thing, the power they have is above any short term economic concern. I’m reminded of that old Weibo thread of Chinese people posting symbols of their wealth, one upping each other over and over, until the ultimate show of “wealth” was posted as being an invite to a dinner with the president (or something like that) which not even billionaires have access to.

All this to say that theatre and public relations is a major tool of war and power, as much as soldiers and bombs.
Sanctions are a slow economic weapon, one that's only half of the current economic strategy (the other half being asset seizure and uncoupling of Russia's financial sector from global finance).

It's hard to say whether any given sanction is "worth it." But the long term trend is a politically advantageous one for NATO: oligarchs now need to keep all of their money within Russia's borders, where it's both unstable and subject to court whims. That should worry them, and the hope is that it worries them enough to unmoor them from Putin.
OOP.

I’m a self-taught programmer, so have probably missed lots that might help, but every time I come across anything OO, it always seems unnecessarily complicated and awkwardly structured. It always seems (to me) that everything could be done more simply procedurally. I don’t get why.

Further, while I can follow OO code that others have written, as a beginner, how to structure something simple I’m writing de novo in an OOP style has a very steep learning curve.
My intent was to compare the number of number of variables and processes that I need to understand to do my job with that of an operator in a nuclear power plant. And I was thinking more about how something can appear so bewildering at first, but though years of study it can become second nature. Human capacity to understand complex problems is amazing… but sometimes that complexity still gets the better of us.

I’m perfectly happy to concede that I don’t know anything about operating a nuclear power plant and that my comparison may just be the Dunning Kruger effect speaking.

But if you want to go into all the various engineering disciplines that go into building a nuclear power plant, I think it’s only fair to go into all the disciplines that allow my applications to run. Microprocessors, the Internet, etc. The apps that we interact with daily for communication, shopping, etc. are miracles of collective human engineering every bit on par with nuclear energy.
> And what you're missing is that "perpetuity" is a lie.

You are now actively misrepresenting my point, which was that someone is going to have to reverse engineer something in order to maintain software. Disks don't last forever. They rot. Your copy of whatever in your PS2 for 30 years will potentially not come out unscathed. Other media has its own issues. PC games from that era simultaneously are getting harder to run and have their own DRMs that need removed.

Emulators are the only future-proof solution and they will undoubtedly need to be ported to new architectures in the future. The maintenance cost is somewhere. In this case, it's in removing ore reverse engineering the online-only components. You don't even have to reverse engineer everything - just enough to get it running. Look at Teknoparrot. Multiple games only barely work because they don't emulate the entire multiplayer backend.

This isn't an insurmountable task and you weren't about to be the one writing a PS2 emulator, so I'm not sure why you're so insistent that it's different. For you, anyways.

At the very least the economy of Russia is being starved, so maintaining their military spending becomes more difficult over time unless they are willing to become like North Korea.

Members of the ruling class also may not join the rest in struggling to afford day to day life, but they certainly cannot be happy with having all their money trapped in a country without the rule of law.

There is a reason they have their children born in the West.
Yes, it might create a feedback loop. But the fact is, no matter what the good guys do, the bad guys are going to keep at it. The only alternative is to try and stay ahead of the bad guys.

It's a .01% loss on the fund on a black swan event, I can't see how this is newsworthy in the least. VEMAX is down 300x more in the past week and I haven't read anything about it.
I'd be impressed if someone could still run it.

Actually not that much, ruffle compatibility is quite good these days.
So what's the play? Jewish people and neo-Nazis collaborating to gain power? And then later turn on each other? The Wikipedia article on them says there are Jewish people serving in Azov Battalion.

If Azov are neo-Nazis, who is their enemy? Obviously the Islamic Chechen military who have been deployed against them but other than that, who? Chechnya isn't on their border. Other Slavs? Where are the non-white people they are fighting?

Could it be that the Nazi emblems were adopted more for historical and anti-Russian sentiment? I honestly can't make much sense of it all. They may be National Socialists, but they seem pretty okay allying closely with Jews and there are few non-white people to fight.

So one battalion are extreme nationalists and definitely pretty fucked up. That hardly condemns the whole country. And in a war for survival, anyone would let them fight. I'm very open to changing my mind about any of this but I fail to see the pressing issue right now.
But as the article rightly points, that immediately would render the bike useless.
The only Google Drive/Dropbox like service that I am aware of that does end-to-end encryption is:

https://www.sync.com/

The other solutions would be self-hosted (i.e. mounting an encrypted cloud drive using rclone crypt or using cryptomator in combination with something like Cyber Duck or Mountain Duck)
In general, for undiscovered CVEs new versions will be as exposed as old versions - if the bug was not discovered, it was not fixed as well; and if the latest version fixes an exploitable security flaw then there generally will be a CVE issued along with that release. Using the same log4j as an example, all the (many!) projects which were still using the old 1.x log4j branch were not exposed, but those who were using the latest released version were exposed to the undiscovered CVE at the moment it was released.

IMHO a reasonable compromise is to watch for discovered CVEs and update your dependencies when appropriate, but keep them pinned if no known CVEs apply.
You need to do a lot more learning about this subject.

BM25 scores documents based on their contents.

PageRank scores documents based on their sources.

Very different.

If you are starting now, you start with Elasticsearch, because you can't start with PageRank and all the thousands of other things that make up what you think of as Google Search.

If you have years, people and billions of dollars, you can start building towards google-like capabilities. Elasticsearch allows you to add capabilities like google provides, but you still have to build them.

Build your first round of search on Elasticsearch, and you'll likely learn enough to start understanding the difference between the two.
I've avoided watching it, despite sitting firmly in the age demographic it was aiming at upon release, for exactly the reasons you've described. Even now it feels as if I have to suppress my 'higher functions' to consider seeking it out.

I'll do it.
i dont think one replaces the other. and patriotism has eroded very much too, and maybe that's a good thing
>You suggested there is a place for client server games

Sorry, but I simply did not say that.

>So the only way to keep ownership over your PC is not to buy any client-server software (no mmo's, no steam, no overwatch, etc). Why? Because client-server apps are the ultimate security risk

If you believe that, why are you using a web browser and posting on Hacker News? At the networking level there's no fundamental difference between using an online forum and playing an MMO. Did you audit your web browser and HN's code?
The sanctions help Putin. Thus far they’re making a boat load off the oil.

Sanctions only hurt if you import, look at what they’re importing — it’s not much. What they do import is primarily from trade partners who aren’t sanctioning (China, Belarus, etc).
And we should also have world peace and we should also end world hunger. That doesn't make either of those things happen.

Not staying ahead of the curve just means someone else will.
The point of sanctions is to protect our allies by making it harder for Russia to build up more military power. The poorer they are, the fewer weapons they can build. If people get hurt that's incidental.
I see, thanks! Though still much costlier than other countries, that's not nearly as extreme as I had inferred from other reports.
Firefox's spelling correction is very poor. For instance, try spelling the name of a country starting with a lowercase letter and omitting a single letter.

"argetina" suggests "retina", Argentina isn't in the list.

"nethrlands" suggests "fatherland", Netherlands isn't in the list.

"ukriane" suggests "hurricane", Ukraine isn't in the list.

It fails for every country I try.

> What did we learn about rates of suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic (first 16 months)? In contrast to alarmist predictions of increasing rates of suicide as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, overall rates actually declined or at worst stayed stable

Bypassing the system is not completely trivial, but for a determined actor, possible. For outdoor or higher security installations, two boards are recommended, where the outside one acts purely as an antenna.
As oil prices go higher, I assume the shale oil extraction will once again become economical in US/Canada, so supply will come online to stabilize the prices by $5 to $6 per gallon. I am just guesstimating, but I wonder what the real price point is at which shale becomes economical again.
These sanctions will fire back at the West by making America's true rival China more powerful. People smarter than me in the States have been preaching this for years - America can only defeat China if it partners with Russia (i.e., the second and the third against the second). And what we're doing now goes against their wisdom. We gave empty hopes to Ukraine, kept sending weapons during the last 8 years, and now we've abandoned them and pretend to support them with these suicidal sanctions. I heard IKEA is leaving Russia - how does this hurt Russia, really? I saw on the news that Russia continues to import tulips for March 8 but meanwhile they show tulips grown near Moscow for fraction of the price and not any worse (in fact, I've never seen such gigantic tulips before). We saw during the pandemic how much rely on China, and there are other dependencies such us nearly all Americans depending on the generic drugs, predominantly made in India. Just try to imagine if India decides to sanction America and cuts the exports! All these sanctions show one thing - the West does not know the stoicism of Russians! Instead of letting Russians stop this war from inside, now we're making them more united and confirm the mantra that the West persecutes them! Gonzalo Lira just vlogged [1] about it.

Use light-up buttons, and boom, problem solved. I think instead of "showing context" you actually mean the (infuriating) idea that buttons should be hidden sometimes.

Well, geez, do you have a suggestion then? No, there is no special mind weapon the president can activate to vaporize Putin and make Russia bloom into a beautiful peaceful democracy. Such is the world.

In the meantime, we get to accelerate our transition away from fossil fuels and eliminate all kind of corrupt actors in the West that have been keeping us locked into gas. Win-win.
Send the lock to the Lock Picking Lawyer and see what he has to say.

That may is key here. I've never had a sales guy say ok this doesn't fit. They will go to great lengths to fit their square peg into your round hole.
Surely you don't think that would be a good idea? That leaves Russia with the most powerful weapons on earth. Something makes me think that wouldn't end well for the rest of the world.

You probably have no issues paying high prices given you’re in the tech field (I presume), but it is an issue for the common folks. Very elitist statement there
This is awesome. I use the "self control" app for Mac OS X, which is pretty effective, but obviously doesn't stop me using my phone.

Good if you can find an unoccupied pole or ultra low density bike rack. Presumably clunky in a normal bike rack (which are clunky at the best of times).
Ivory-tower-ness has little to nothing to do with the level you're at, it has to do with being unable to relate to people who aren't at the same level. Reread your comment and note that your examples are entirely about the person said to be in an ivory tower, and not how that person relates to others who don't understand those technical details.
Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense.
I have family in Ukraine and Russia. From the data points that I have, I'd say that most people in Russia support Putin (including in my family). While the average citizen will be impacted first by the current situation, it will have an effect on the leadership IN TIME (e.g. in years, not days). In fact, severe sanctions should have started in 2014 [1].

As for the argument that popular opinion will turn against the west: it already has [2] and I think we should not talk about sanctions any longer, but of separate blocks with minimal exchange and interaction. I understand that going back to an iron curtain of some sort may be shocking for some, but at least that will severely limit the risk of miscalculation and nuclear war. Putin is a dictator and we have to act.

I encourage you to have a conversation with someone with a pickup truck whether they “need” it (versus an all wheel drive vehicle of better fuel efficiency) and if they’re willing to pay more (ie the true cost) for fuel to live their lifestyle. I have had the conversation, numerous times, with predictable results. I mean this seriously, go get some ground truth if your circumstances permit.

You don’t need a pickup truck to live in a rural area, even in the winter, and if you do need it (frequent towing/bed hauling), there is a cost that should not be subsidized by others.

I stand by my broad assertions based on too much reading and too many greasy spoon diner conversations from the East Coast to the Rockies. We could get off of oil much, much faster, but most folks would rather hold on to the bitter end.

Edit: I appreciate the data point even when it contradicts my thesis. Thanks for asking them! (I live in the South, not California fwiw) I owe you a beer for the trouble.
I know it looks like a bad joke, but people really need an entertainment, even if the war is going. I'm not asking you to pay severs. I'm asking to make ability to spent my own money on it.

You can solve that issue not at the source/VCS level but with artifact management, properly logging, storing and documenting the things that were built from that source. In some places that's tightly integrated with VCS in a single pipeline, in others the source and built artifacts are managed quite separately, especially if you're packaging many different builds for different customers.

Like Twitter, the concept of TikTok doesn't make any sense to me so I've never tried it. But YouTube suggestions I do not find very compelling. I'll sometimes scroll for a few minutes but it's mostly stuff I've either already watched or exactly like stuff I've already watched. It doesn't do very well at surfacing stuff that might catch a related interest but isn't really the same thing.
I'm curious and optimistic about alternate lock setups like this. I'm a heavy bike user, and a lot of the situations where theft is likely are also ones where carrying a good lock can add significant friction to the activity. Things like running an errand a neighborhood over, beach, sports game, quick trip to grocery store, etc.

And anyway a common wisdom I believe is that if someone targets your bike specifically they will have it. This (or any) doesn't have to be a better lock per se, it just needs to be no worse and not make your bike more of a target.

I have no insight or really even educated guesses about the quality or value of this specific one though. It looks like 6ku or retrospec or something which cool I like those fine for city bikes.
>I saw a comment on reddit that made me think, it was a Russian person saying that sanctions only hurt the average citizen when the ruling class has enough wealth to not be affected much. They also said that popular opinion will either turn against the west (for imposing the sanctions)

I'm not so sure about the official sanctions (based on a quick skim[1] they seem to be mostly banking bans and bans on high tech exports), but the sanctions enacted by western companies (eg. netflix pulling out of russia), are definitely hurting the average citizen more than the oligarchs.

Putin lives in a palace and no one even knows how rich him and his thug friends actually are. They don't like the sanctions but I doubt he's 'feeling pain' whilst sending people's kids to war from his personal hockey rink. We simply live in a different reality than the rich, money is nothing to them. I work at a startup and am constantly astounded that our rich investors will write up another 200k check without more than a 5 minute conversation.
