The biggest country in the world trying to subjugate its smaller neighbors is not imperialist?
Indeed it is per month
>After benefiting from stealing their resources

I fail to see what point you're trying to make. You're saying, that in your opinion, other countries were more agressive in the past than Russia (which isn't true - I still see evidences on streets of my country), therefore Russia has unused quota of assholery, and should be allowed to murder Ukrainians whithout being criticized?

> That isn't fixing the problem that's just saying "yeah well we feel bad and have problems due to the abuse we inflicted on others".

Sadly in many cases yes, but also in many cases there were actual govermental or non-govermental help for regions violated in the past. This is not the case in Russia - Russia ended it's invasions only after being forced out and didn't ever even addmited, that it was doing something wrong. Quite the opposite - it tends to suggest it was doing something good like for e.g. in this case: https://twitter.com/radeksikorski/status/1480536745112444936 - have you ever seen such comment from any British official regarding India?
Buildpacks, Jib, or Dockerfile: Which method should you choose?
Even more frustrating is confusing nationalism with chauvinism, nacism and fascism.

Nationalism as nations’ right to self determination and self rule is great. And that’s what brought down the old empires. While now empires are rebuilt under anti-nationalist slogans and we are sliding back to multinational behemoths.

Good case why healthy dose of patriotism-nationalism is necessary is Ukraine war.
Maybe they meant something else.

Data from the US Department of Justice for 2019: https://bjs.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh236/files/media/docu...

> By the end of 2019, the incarceration rate had dropped to the same rate as 1995 (810 per 100,000 adult U.S. residents).

Which is about 1 in 123.

> About 1 in 40 adult U.S. residents (2.5%) were under some form of correctional supervision at the end of 2019. This represented a drop from 1 in 32 (3.1%) a decade earlier.

The above includes people on probation or parole.
The hiring agency we used had dollars, maybe its common in Ukraine.
If you have doubts about what the Russian army will do under Putin, look at Grozny and Aleppo, and their actions so far.

This will become total war - there are no limits and civilians in cities are at severe risk. Your sources have a very local view and may well be safe for now but not later. Unless they are in Western Ukraine they are at risk of carpet bombing as Russia gets more desperate.
The Semantics of Evaluation and Continuations
It's wonderful. I've pretty much watched it to death, but still occasionally have another go.
Pairing is great for some tasks, like higher level design and whiteboarding sessions. But when it comes to implementation (coding) time I really dislike it.

I think ultimately, at the end of the day, I expect and hope that every human I work with is a competent, solid individual contributor and does not require a co-driver to produce meaningful work.

I definitely see the value in pairing for imbalanced situations (junior and senior, new engineer and tenured), but such sessions should have the goal of getting each person to operate independently, hopefully sooner than later.

Pairing just for the sake of pairing is an encroachment on many things I love about software (the ability to think about a problem deeply and quietly, the ability to work independently, the ability to check my Twitter feed as often as I damn please). I’m really glad the pairing fad seems to be dying down in general!
We switched our python task processing from celery to pubsub (on GCP) backed by redis for message storage, and it's much better. Celery is full of bugs and quirks, nobody ever really knew what it was doing when it would fail. For simple task processing, we find it helpful to have a task queue that you can fully understand. Just a hundred lines of code for the subscriber and publisher logic, which we wrote ourselves. If you can get by without workflow and orchestration, pubsub works well at high volume and it's cheap. Something to consider!

This is a double edge sword. The internet changed the equation whereby now it is more important to create engagement by creating controversy to keep viewership up for advertisers.

As someone who has experience with this kind of thing, I'd advise caution. Last couple of years, some of these companies who pay for sponsored posts will use your post to further try and improve their "SEO" rank.

E.g. Kev publishes that post. Paul goes ahead and purchases blackhat links to the published article (all with the same keyword in most cases) in hopes of 1) signaling that the article is very relevant 2) hoping that Kev's article will build up "seo juice" and boost rankings to his eCig site or whatever.

I've tried to report this crap to Google multiple times, but those sites still sit on page 1 results even after months have gone by. It's such a crappy practice and hurts people who genuinely try and hustle their search marketing by producing good content.
You're right that complex numbers simplify the math incredibly. Being able to move everything to the baseband is a huge help.

I think the fundamental problem is that:

1) there isn't a whole lot of comfort with complex numbers generally, so getting rid of them makes the material seem more approachable - at the cost of being significantly more complicated, and

2) a lack of good resources for implementing common DSP algorithms in actual hardware. The jump from Matlab to raw C is mystifying to many people (myself included in many cases).

I actually prefer Lyons's Understanding Digital Signal Processing as an intro text over this one.

I also really benefitted from having a good teacher in this stuff. Dan Boschen with DSPrelated runs some great online classes on DSP that helped me immensely in understanding this material. About $200 for five classes, with tons of great iPython notebooks of examples. (He was the one who helped me get the "all math works the same at baseband" advantage of complex numbers.)
What does it look like? I think our software procurement process looks pretty much like this.
The problem is defining what "nation" is. Are Bretons a nation, or are they a part of the French nation? Are Catalonians a nation, or are they the part of a Spanish nation? Some answers to those questions lead to contradictions, in a sense that both groups adopt your "nation should be ruled from its own land by its own people" formula, but lay claim to the same land and/or people.

Don't want to blacklist or unperson him. I just think he's wrong on that count, and in a particularly mischievious way.
Perhaps Kev also didn't read the part of the email saying "Please send a sample of the post you recently published". That could explain why there was a two-month delay, since Paul would have been waiting for him to reply instead.
There's nothing particularly great about nationalism, because "nation" itself is an abstract concept that's inherently malleable. And thus we get those nebulous "national interests" or "national security", which seemingly justifies everything if you can get people hysterical enough about it.
Basically the only defense is an extension that prevents styling for a visited link. But on the plus side to use this exploit you either need to be very specific about what sites you check or have the user clicking lots of links…
I love teardown guides like this. It seems nothing was damaged here. My main question, was the person able to reassemble everything in again?
"Safety" is not a realistic term when we're days away from global thermonuclear war.
When we are implementing this are there diminishing returns on the luck granted by the pfSense firewall?

If not, wouldn’t it be better to stack pfSense and rely on luck alone. This would also save us money as we could run them all on the same server in VMs.

I used to work at 24th and had no problem getting a seat in peak hours - the majority of the people taking BART eastbound across the bay are getting on at downtown stations. Given existing infrastructure, it would be literally impossible to shift that load to buses instead.
Your first sentence is simply not true.
Yeah this kinda came off as asshole-ish. Sponsored content is supposed to be mutually beneficial. The first part of the article makes it seem like link-building is some king of taboo SEO tactic instead of regular tool everyone uses...
I never questioned that civilians are at risk, especially in cities. This concern is repeated by my contacts, most of whom are outside of cities.

Carpet bombing would be very bad, as Serbia/Montenegro bombings have shown civilian deaths happen and I have less certainty about the precision of Russian military compared to NATO's.

As to my sources, sure, and I would want to know first-hand information to the contrary, but I am dubious about social and mass media links.

I am amazed by the number of people willing to say "your friends are wrong, they are being killed" while giving reddit links in support.

Ooooo yes that makes sense
I've not seen any of this. But then I avoid Twitter and other social media. In a conflict with global attention like this one there will always be a minority of extreme views (propaganda and genuine). Western leaders are not blaming the Russian people, although obviously there is an affect on them. Same with the mainstream media.

The hatred of a very small minority amplified by social media is the source of opinion like this.

M25 from J14-J15 (Heathrow Airport), but I think that's the only place. And it's not through a city.
I would argue that this kind of price is only doable because people and resources are being exploited for it. Not specifically only for these microcontrollers, but most our consumer products in general.

In a worst case scenario, the resources for this $1 microcontroller were mined by an african child, barely earning anything. These resources are then shipped to China(probably), where people along the way don't earn much either. Except the white collar workers managing it all, of course.

These controllers are then built in a factory, either by robots, or low-earning workers. Then shipped to a warehouse.

For me, the fact that such things can be bought so cheaply is not really an achievement if we look at how broken the supply chains are if we consider the humans who are affected by them. And also the environment which gets destroyed quite a bit.

I am of course talking from a moralist and empathical perspective. What I am trying to say is, that this is only an achievement because we accept or ignore the drastic consequences.

The article didn't make it seem like there was actual fraud, just bad science being followed blindly. I had to find the original FBI announcement to understand it was indeed intentional fraud by individual FBI examiners misrepresenting bad science.

I work at a place where we do exclusively pair programming (a software consultancy). A project always has at least one pair.

Each workstation has a computer, 2 monitors, 2 mice and keyboards. When someone can't be at the office then we sometimes use Tuple, and it's a great tool, unfortunately still only works on Macs.

Pairing works for us because it's more efficient than working alone, less bugs and better thought out design, faster spread of knowledge about our tools and the project in general. I joined a year ago and hadn't used Java or IDEA, pairing helped me learn all of it very fast, compared to if I had to work alone and struggle with learning all of the new things.

Also, lying the visited state on JS was implemented as early as Firefox 4 - so it is definitely not a JS-dependent "exploit" (rather, it's a rather oblique way of social engineering).

False dichotomy imo since the sprawl is a direct result of the same exclusionary mindset that economically disincentivizes (and often outright forbids) upzoning. Remember that the very concept of single-family zoning / minimum parcel sizes was a Californian invention, first codified in 1916 in Berkeley shortly after the state passed a law prohibiting land ownership by nonwhites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Alien_Land_Law_of_1...
As a person whom has built telegram, slack and teams bots.

Telegram is definitely not the worst, in fact, it's the best on that list depending on what you want to do.

Slack's real-time API has been deprecated since forever, leaving you only specific slash commands that hit web hooks, which does not allow for rich engagement of content or anything close to being as dynamic as the old IRC bots used to be.

Teams is a joke when it comes to bots. Seriously.

Northern Africa (maghreb, egypt, etc..) is hugely dependent on wheat from Ukraine and Russia.

Wheat prices are through the roof right now [1], it's only going to get worse.

So short-term impact pretty much guaranteed.

Longer term, much of the euro zone agriculture is very dependent on fertilizers that are either produced using Russian natural gas or directly bought from there.

Cost of growing food, if the situation doesn't improve, will increase dramatically.

So, in other words, major increase in food shortages is a likely scenario indeed.

Wet wipes cause a billion times more problems than toilet paper. Almost all contain plastic microfibers and degrade very slowly. They clog plumbing and septic tanks, and create environmental hazards in aquatic environments.

No, it doesn't. Decoherence explains why self-interference of a single wave-function doesn't happen after interaction with the environment. But it doesn't explain two important things.

1, which is very practical, is that it doesn't explain why the wave function always decoheres in the same way. In experiments, you can always chose the basis of measurement, and get some definite results in that particular basis, while the properties in another basis remain indefinite. But, in classical reality, all objects have definite properties in the same basis (say, positions in the same Cartesian coordinate system). This is known as the preferred basis problem, and decoherence can't explain it.

2, which is somewhat more philosophical, decoherence doesn't explain the quantitative relationship between the wave function and the probability of observing a particular outcome. Indeed, in MWI it's very hard to even define probability in a coherent way, since all outcomes actually happen and there is an uncountable (in the mathematical sense) number of outcomes.
Maybe.

In practice, you just don't know and are speculating.
Me too, article doesn't explain. Maybe it's a hack to say current dir?

Western citizens to not broadly want that at all. They may say they do not that's conditional on a lot of unstated assumptions, like it not causing electricity to become unaffordable or entirely unavailable. Both of which would be likely consequences of an energy was with Russia.

losing the war of course. And without NATO intervening that won't happen. There are 600k more Russian troops and countless military equipment to throw at Ukraine. West can keep the arms flowing but it won't matter by even as early as next week because the UA supply lines are falling apart.

The best outcome at this juncture is to fall back to western most cities and save as much land and army as they can. Especially the army pinned in the eastern most provinces have to start moving back and meet up with the remnants in Kharkiv, Kyiv and other cities. If they fall back fast, RA cannot really pursue them as their supply lines are stretched as well. They have to get mobile and freely move around now for any chance of preventing a complete rout (and capture of the army at breakaway provinces).

Is (s)he, though? electric cars stopping to load because of grid instabilities is a build-in mandatory feature in electric chargers in Europe.

2 - I'd say these comments were overly optimistic - had I told my 30 year younger me about how we were essentially dependant on large megacorps for our integrated mail/calendar/telephone needs, megacorps who can - and often do - kick users out randomly for no apparent reason, making them lose access to their digital identity not only with them, but with potentially hundreds of other organisations, how the idea of ownership would erode into perpetual renting which can be stopped by the media controller at any point with no prior warning, that he would 'buy' a digital book, but would be unable to read it because he happened to be abroad, how state governments were using hacking skills to eavesdrop on everyone and to plant evidence on computers... he would have thought I was reading too many cypherpunk novels.

The last 30 years in tech have made me utterly pessimistic about the sci-fi tech future. The only things that ever become true are the worst ones. A stove dictating me when to cook and for how long sounds like the least problem we will have in our future, even more boring dystopia.
