I do not think the OP meant to say the latter but rather express his disappointment with what is taking place in Ukraine right now.

But yes, we should not forget about Yemen where the same thing is happening

I can't say I've encountered the same things and I've been using Celery since around 2015.

In one case of using it I am routinely throwing work at it. Its main job is to contact third party APIs and parse up to 600MB of XML responses. It's not high traffic but it's active enough to be running jobs often.

This box has been really stable, often times going 6 months without having to restart Flask or Celery because it's humming along without issues and the service itself is fairly stable so it's not getting new versions rolled out (just security patches as needed). It's not a legacy system either, it's just feature complete.

In the past I've had other sites where Celery was doing around a million jobs a month to massage a small amount of data and write it to a Postgres database, it also had no issues and was super stable.

I mainly use standard Celery features backed by Redis on a low'ish end VPS. I would like to know more details about what folks are doing where they're encountering all of these problems.
Right, the analysis is the heavy part. and yes the math guys themselves don't write the code, the coders do that part.

even if the impl can be quite involved, it seems rather strange that someone could make money from very simple strategies? seems to contradict common sense.
Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that feature (and I pay for Enterprise gsuite, so that tells you something about either my attention to Google product details, or the level of advertisement of this feature :)

I do wonder if this is actually building a semantic knowledge graph of the content, vs. just providing a dynamic facade/aggregator for other apps’ search APIs, and doing “old style” text indexing/searching within Workspace services. It looks like the former based on a cursory read of the docs.

It would be more challenging to build a knowledge graph over {drive,slack,Jira,…} documents, but if they just build a knowledge graph within Workspace that could provide more reason to use Docs vs. Notion/Confluence, or Google Chat over Slack. So there is actually a strong product/market reason to build this as a native feature even if you can’t solve it for other apps.
What a weird article.

> Use the right kind of knife for slicing bagels. This would be a knife with a deeply serrated edge, NOT a knife with a smooth, sharp edge. The serration helps “rip” into the bagel with a crosscut saw type effect, gripping and cutting into the bagel instead of slipping across the crust and cutting your hand.

So, a bread knife? Who'd've thought?
The Texas Instruments MSP430 is another good one to look at. At one point, dev kits were available for under $10. It's a good choice for low-power applications. Comes with a free IDE.

"Close Reading 2.0" (https://curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2014/01/close-reading-20... ) is only important for authors of standardized tests and for the "look at me, I'm so clever" crowd.

You page of statistics suggests you were in the second. If that's not what you want, please take this comment as a cautionary warning.
You're ignoring the fact I gave 2 links - one of them extremely critical of Russia, but still very far away from claiming Russia has some kind of ethnical cleansing motivation in the story - and the other, which you don't like, giving an alternate and at least plausible, if not widely accepted, explanation of what's behind the agression by Russia. Who's cherry picking here?
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Those certainly don't sound pleasant...

> the gist on the issue is SO OBVIOUS and easy to find just google

I also have a deep resentment against people telling me to just 'read the docs' (especially the LMGTFY links). It gives a really bad first experience like yours, even more so when you've already looked it up before asking. I understand the contributors being constrained, however it's very important not to be blatantly rude to people. Very tired of this attitude in FOSS in general (I never do it when people ask about my projects).

> These servers often have a handful of active people forming their own little social club

That lines up with my experiences in the Discord API server, too. It's very ostracising.

As an aside: the state of the Discord API server is quite something. It's not "offical" per se, but it basically is (even Discord link to it). Almost like they want the benefits of an "official" room while also keeping it at arms length. Perhaps it's due to the experiences you describe above.
I mean, at a bare minimum there have to be a bunch of military history / military theory / military hardware buffs on here.

That would fall pretty squarely into intellectually stimulating debate where a lot of people learn stuff territory right?

I’m personally curious as hell what non-classified information is available on how many RF boomers are running around, armed with what, and how closely they’re being shadowed by USN fast attack boats and I bet someone on here knows.
Even worse, there are ISP who hand out /64 which you shouldn't even do.

I ran into this problem 15 years ago or so when I built my own ipv6 tunnel for home use using a hetzner server. Couldn't edit on Wikipedia, asked why, and apparently they blocked a whole /48 because of spam. Then they argued the whole provider should be blocked because it's a "tunnel provider" (it isn't) at which point I didn't even want to argue anymore and just stopped editing.
This one was definitely a red flag for me regarding authenticity.

It seems far more like a slow surge offensive, siege technically. Look at US in Iraq, shock and awe was more akin to "blitzkrieg" and even that campaign took 3 weeks to secure Baghdad.
Those claims have been debunked, but hats off to Zelensky for trolling Putin on that one with his own mic move...
no, this was a compression artefact in the low quality video. Check the high quality video: no clipping.

Say, what, now?

I don't think war threads are staying front page very long, but there is lots of discussion happening.
> the tech space is becoming terribly sad, with a growing portion of energy expenditure spent outside engineering work.

But this is not inevitable. You can work for a small/medium sized company where the objective is to get things done. Aim at a project where the realization of the product is its own reward, where you learn a lot, where you appreciate your colleagues, where the life/work balance is sane and where the money allows you to live well and prepare for your retirement.

Once you get that, who cares about your title?
Bootstrapping labels via supervision and human in the loop
There are a lot of communities that are functioning way better after they implemented a strict no politics policy. It's a strawman argument. Especially considering the populous of hackernews of which 90% don't believe that they can be manipulated by advertising because they are too intelligent. It's gonna be a shitshow.
>Russia the state will be more secure with Ukraine destroyed.

I don't get that. How does having a democratic neighbour like say Estonia, or a democratic Ukraine, make Russia insecure? No one's going to go invading them with them having the world's largest nuke stockpile and people were happy trading.

Now Putin personally, I can see how he might have issues.
Use latest during development, but push to production using image in your private Docker registry which has proper names and tags.

git push -> Docker build (bonus points for building only if needed [for example only if Dockerfile, Jenkinsfile or requirements.txt has changed], otherwise use latest from Artifactory) -> run all automated tests -> if pass, push the Docker image to Artifactory with reasonable name and tag.

When doing a release, push the image from Artifactory to production.

This way you don't have to have a process to update all the things in Dockerfile on reqular basis, but you still only push to production the actual binaries that are really tested and proven to be ok. And can re-use the actual binary when doing a hotfix of something similar.
> potentially leaking enormous amounts of data that everyone involved assumed would be private because they didn't consider the scenario of a popular bot secretly spying on them.

People tend to be quite nonchalant about bots in private channels, in my experience. It tends to be taken for granted that they're not hoovering up all the messages. I'd go so far as to say we need a data catastrophe like the one you described to wake everyone up. A music bot does not need read permissions in your private staff room! I took over administration of a server which did so and quickly clamped down on the permission of bots.
I think the idea is to teach less calculus, not no calculus.

I just had a flight of fancy; a russian intelligence agent who is worn out and somewhat cynical. I suspect most whistleblowers would probably prefer not to have a "codename", but it brought back memories of books I read when younger; and the name "Smileskiy" came to mind. Maybe the name might raise a sardonic chuckle to its new owner.
It also helps with reducing dependency distribution issues - I've written single-file Python programs using just the stdlib, sometimes of a really old Python3 version. It's really nice to just `scp` the script to a bunch of remote devices and have everything work out-of-the-box.

Of course, PyInstaller can solve dependency distribution issues - but I've sometimes ran into packages that don't play well with PyInstaller (uwsgi, for example, because it's basically a C program distributed using pip, so PyInstaller can't figure out how to bundle it).
Great translation, and could possibly be interesting to confirm a handful of things that are guesses. Like others, I am, however, skeptical as to whether this is a genuine whistleblower. Essentially the piece says mostly things the west knows, thinks it knows or wants to think it knows.

So, I found myself reading it again looking for what the key piece of fear, uncertainty or doubt they could want to sow.

I think it would be this one:

> Does the possibility of a localised nuclear strike exist?
>
Yes.

Dangling the Silver Bullets will put fear in civilians and politicians alike. The obvious hope is that it will change narrative and negotiations.

> it's not one person who makes the decision, at least one person will refuse. And there's many people there, there isn't some "single red button".

I've read conflicting words on this one the last few days (from supposed Russian sources), the latest I saw when asked if Putin can trigger it by himself was someone saying "we don't know" and in the next breath "it's complicated".

I believe this is the only point of the piece.
From my last visit there in winter, it seems to serve as a homeless encampment (at night at least), but also as a cheap transportation device for the brave.
He addresses that: "It’s easy to understand why those suffering from the crime may regard it as an unacceptable indulgence to inquire into why it happened and whether it could have been avoided. Understandable, but mistaken. If we want to respond to the tragedy in ways that will help the victims, and avert still worse catastrophes that loom ahead, it is wise, and necessary, to learn as much as we can about what went wrong and how the course could have been corrected. Heroic gestures may be satisfying. They are not helpful."

Russia has been a accusing Ukraine of working to acquire nuclear weapons, with US assistance, for quite a while, though the specification that they intend to produce a dirty bomb may be a new twist on it.
Is there any proof that Chechens soldiers have suffered heavy losses? There were rumors that Ukrainian army bombarded them after the Chechens themselves leaked their positions by posting videos on tiktok/instagram/telegram. The Kadyrov part in this text seems to be built on these rumors.

edit:
the part i am referring to:

Kadyrov's lost his mind. Almost started another conflict with us. It's possible that the Ukrainians spread misinformation that we gave away the locations of Kadyrov's forces in the first few days. They got pounded while marching in the most terrifying ways, they hadn't even started fighting and they already got a certain place torn apart. Then it begins, "the FSB leaked info to the Ukrainians!". I don't possess such information, and say that it's 1% to 2% likely that this is true (I don't want to completely eliminate the chance).
You obviously never worked in a team where your boss wanted something impossible and everyone was afraid of loosing their jobs or whoever was not afraid already left/was let go.

this works great until a library decides it only likes python 3.8 or 3.9 or 3.10 and won't work with 3.10.
The hand is just closer to the camera.
So what actually always happens with this approach is that companies stay on ancient docker images, because there is never time for updates as long as they work.

It's the same with locking python pip packages to specific versions. Nobody ever looks at it again and you run code that is 5 years old in production. People only look at it when it breaks.

The first step in solving these problems is getting the accounting in place, so we know exactly who is paying what. It is beyond me why we are not even doing that.

Anyway, we could solve these problems if we doubled the price. And then it would still be an amazing achievement.
As soon as you have more than two people you have politics, regardless of whether it is small "p" politics or big "P" politics. Politics is a function of human communities, there is a 100% correlation.

I suspect what you were looking for is not "no politics" but "be conservative in what you say and liberal in what you hear", i.e. think more of the group than yourself. Or for those who can't read between the lines; "don't be selfish".
Nah, it is. It just won't be this one great event where everyone switches at the same time. My current ISP ships you a cheapo router that has it enabled by default. My previous one did to and even had cgnat. It just works.

You read comments here on HN every time ipv6 comes up how it caused great issues for them and they turned it off, but unless they are on a really shitty small ISP, it's their own fault because they don't use the router from the ISP but had to build their own setup and messed something up.

As people switch ISPs or get replacement routers that have it enabled, the world gradually moves over, and nobody apart from the nerds takes notice.
Longer than that:

This article from almost two weeks ago, noted that while it was at that time new for the claim to be used associated with urgent action, it had been made several times before.

And, most eerily, a world where you can talk about Russian foreign policy… and barely ever mention Putin.

That's because it's the West that demonises leaders and not the country for some reason, so in the West we hear "Putin did this, Putin did that ...."

But when we talk about "our people" it's "The US did this, Britain did that, Japan does the other ..."

Russia Today (aka RT), the [...] outlet funded by the Russian government

Why is the fact that RT is funded by the Russian Government so roundly emphasised as if that were something unusual? We don't read every time we see the BBC or the ABC written about in print the same stuff along the lines of "The BBC, the outlet funded by the British Government, stated today ..." or perhaps "The ABC, the outlet funded by the Australian Government, stated today ..."

It seems so easy to fall into a false balance trap. But while Western media is certainly flawed, there’s a fundamental difference between honest mistakes and intentional lies. The truth is very unlikely to be half-way between the two.

Compare: The 2016 election mispredictions were one of the most discussed topics for months in the aftermath. The Bush administration’s WMD claims are still regularly discussed, at least outside of Fox News. Journalists have in general become more skeptical of US government claims as a result ever since. That’s widely considered a good thing.

On the other hand: Russian media, as should be obvious for anyone with better memory than a proverbial goldfish, doesn’t even care how today’s message contradicts yesterday’s. The sanctions are ineffective and a grave act of war and must be stopped immediately and actually don’t work. Ukraine will never be attacked, and is actually Russian, and commits an anti-Russian genocide, and isn’t a nation, and will no longer be a nation if it doesn’t surrender immediately, and isn’t actually being attacked. It’s so inconsistent with itself that you don’t even need a second source to spot the lies.

I might feel nice and wise and balanced, but I don’t think these are circumstances where believing “both sides” is intellectually defensible.
Do you realize just how fundamentally undemocratic and disenfranchising the 2014 putsch was in the short and long term?

I wouldn’t describe Docker official images as more or less secure than anything else. Supply chain attacks can easily slip a vulnerability in.
The article was titled: "We're being pressured into sex by some trans women" [1], and it's a genuine phenomenon.

Note that it says "some" - there are indeed some men who want to be women pressuring actual women who are only attracted to women, to pursue sexual relationships with them. In effect, it's no different to lesbians being told variations of "I'll fuck you straight", and similar homophobic abuse, by other heterosexual men.

> Ideally you only use Docker official images,or their equivalent to avoid using unvetted code.

Docker images don’t ship every dependency in the average development project. They’re also not a security guarantee either.

> It is always a trade off, however it is far more likely that a hacker will use a ten year old well exploited CVE, rather than a recent one

In general that’s the case but in practice that’s still the wrong mindset. You pin to a minor version and still get patch updates. Or run CVE checks to prove you’re dependencies have no reported vulnerabilities. And that will also mitigate the risk of you again accidentally updating to to new vulnerabilities (though you’d need to pin against patch version too if you want to be certain there)

Do share a few examples where:

* the aggressor makes an impossible to accept ultimatum

* claims their enemy isn't really of a different ethnicity and historically belongs to the aggressor

* stages false flag operations to excuse their invasion

None of these is in any way new, or revolutionary, and wasn't invented by the Nazis, or the Austrians in WWI, but it's not a mandatory element of every other armed conflict of history. And even if it were, it's still valid to compare to other such conflicts, like WWI and WWII, including the Nazis.

Unless I don't know how to clone a specific branch - in which case I need to learn about git branches, figure out how they work, and how to clone a specific branch, and how to go back to master etc. etc. etc.

In contrast to just cloning the repo and browsing the v2/ directory.
