Yeah, I concede that it absolutely is a lot of hand-waving. But we're also talking about emergent properties: it's possible to understand why they arise, what the emergent properties are, and how the underlying system works, without having full information about it all. In fact that's a very analogous situation to our thermodynamic understanding of gases, or fluid dynamics.

I don't want to mislead, there is an incredible amount of stuff we don't know... But we do understand more than most well-informed people think, even people in adjacent fields.
Yea you’re right.
What you just stated about the critical temperature is true for some classes of random instances. Early results on larger classes of random instances from this line of research do not survive scaling experiments. I don't have a reference one that but I recall that being said in one of the discussion rounds of the Beyond Satisfiability online seminary at the Simons Institute.
Honestly elasticsearch is kind of a mess these days, I’m pretty excited to see where Amazon takes it. Hopefully we all have a better, truly open-source search engine to use in the future.
Is it not simpler because the applications themselves are simpler? I mean, when you say that client frameworks like angular and svelte have their place with complex UX/UI interactions.

Of course SSR is simpler- request in, send / receive from a database, markup out. It isnt anything to do with SSR- your domain is simpler.
Samsung didn't write Windows, that's Microsoft.

Or am I missing something?
Notably, Magento 2.4.4 (due for release in a few days) adds OpenSearch support.

The ElasticSearch dependency has always frustrated me, not least because it broke in annoying ways. OpenSearch could be good news.
I went to use the app for my hot tub and put in the 6 digit pin, except the last number I put in was a 4 instead of a 3. It logged me in, but the temperature looked off, then I realized I wasn’t connected to my hot tub, it was someone else. Turns out the 6-digit pins are sequential. And this is from a billion dollar pool company.
I did the same with my Sony Bravia, although I still have access to apps I want to use. I don't even know what the features are that I rejected cause I don't care about them.
I think one issue is that we expect to rely on a standard here, while only a proprietary solution, specific to the infrastucture seems to make sense.

Basically the first device in the infrastucture, whether it is a load balancer, a cache, etc. should set (or overwrite, if it's been spoofed) a custom proprietary header with the client IP. And that's what you can rely on - either it's set and you have the IP or its not and you can't really trust anything else.

He mentions Azure and a few others doing this and that sounds like the only correct approach.

(Although there's still an issue when the infrastructure is changed, and the application code is not updated - in that case the old header might no longer be set, and could now be spoofed)

It is all ridiculously complicated. Envoy's documentation makes it pretty clear what concessions are made:
https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/ht... I link the documentation not for the informative aspect, but just for you to gawk at the length and how worried the author is about it all ;)

I personally prefer that the load balancer speak "proxy protocol" to the front proxy, and then the front proxy simply make a decision as to what the external IP is and relay that to upstream applications with a proprietary header (x-envoy-external-address). Upstream applications that really want to be careful about the external address then verify the signature of envoy's TLS certificate when the connection comes in. (I use some mTLS for my homelab stuff, but don't have any software that cares to check this. I use Envoy's rate limiter rather than application specific rate limiting, and use Envoy's logs to get the IP address and the x-b3-trace-id header to correlate access logs with application logs.)

Proxy protocol is regrettably problematic from time to time, however. By default, Kubernetes tries to be "smart" about routing. If you have a LoadBalancer with internal IP 10.123.234.56 and external IP 54.43.32.21, traffic originating in the cluster with a destination address 54.43.32.21 does not transit the cloud provider's load balancer, it just gets rewritten to the internal IP address 10.123.234.56. This means that it doesn't use the proxy protocol, and the front proxy rejects the connection. This is generally not a problem, but will be annoying if you host an internal container registry in-cluster, because containers will be named for the external container registry and will thus resolve to the external IP address. The connection will skip your cloud provider's load balancer which adds the proxy header, and your front proxy will reject the connection, causing failing pulls. Most people will never hit this, because their cloud provider just provides a container registry (when I set up all my container stuff, my cloud provider of choice didn't offer this; they do now). But if you ever think internal applications will intend to use the public Internet to connect to other internal applications, watch out. This can come up if you do OIDC things internally, for example. (Apps will want to grab the .well-known configuration keys and JWKS key material from the external address that it will eventually redirect clients to. You will be confused when the configuration fails to load.)

In conclusion, what a mess.
it takes a little getting used to. the key here it thats alot easier to convince your customers that any flaws in your service are just 'the way it is' rather than even attempt to do anything about them.
> The west was pretty close to capitulating on allowing Ukraine to join NATO when they invaded. And no one's forced them to attack civilian targets.

Nope.

Entry to NATO has to be unanimous.
Yanukovich had far less support and had opposition. Ukraine's military presence was a fraction of Russia's. Already more Russians have been arrested in protests so far this week than in Maidan, but unless millions rise up it's impossible to remove Putin. When you shoot at a king and you miss you only solidify his position.

Furthermore Maidan had assistance from the US. No such thing exists in Russia.
No. I mean what I said. The US Government is made up of representatives from the states, but it was not the state governments who wrote the law, it was the federal government.

Based on my latest analysis, OpenSearch is very active as the following shows:

https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3C%3D...

but it is still not as active as Elasticsearch, which is to be expected given how long it has been around as the following shows:

https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3C%3D...

Full disclosure: The above insights are from my tool
First of all - most of the countries recognized their mistakes and got rid of governments pushing for such things.

Secondly - many ghosts of the past are still torment western countries (e.g. last year BLM protests), and in general they are at least recognized as a problem, by general population, not that stubbornly deflected and "whatabouted" as we can observe now in Russia.

BTW I'm not westerner. I'm living far closer to the Russia, than I would prefer to - because honestly whole world moved ahead, and in general got better (admittedly very inconsistently), and Russia is well... Russia - same for as long as I know.
I have worked on teams that do automatic formatting and others that didn't. I have never seen any advantage of automatic formatting. In my experience, people who like to complain about simple things like where to put braces or where to break a line will move the goal posts and start to complain about particular parameters of the formatter, or try to change the formatter to something "more powerful". People who don't care about location of braces will continue working without problems, and everything will be the same as before, just with the added complexity.

The Best Accessibility Features You’ve Never Heard Of
What happened to SSL3/TLS1.0/TLS1.1 end-of-life will also happen to Wifi protocols: WEP-only devices are already out, WPA1-only devices will be next to lose access to a properly secured wifi network.

The longevity of the dumb parts in kitchen appliances exceeds that of the smart boxes in them. The manufacturer cannot slap a 20-years maintenance-budget onto the sticker price and I also don't see customers paying for a yearly maintenance subscription for 20 years (for each connected appliance). It will take a decade until people have learned that the shiny new iOT features are a burden in the long run. Maybe iOT maintenance longevity will get sorted out sometimes. Until then I refuse to buy such crap.
Seconded. I'm in the US but I've looked into emigrating to quite a few different countries (including some with reputations for being more friendly to immigration such as Australia), and it's a lot harder than it sounds. I had a work visa in Canada for several months but then covid hit and they closed the border. Israel seemed like the easiest process I found, but only if you are Jewish (although temporary work permits are liberal there). The US also complicates things by being the only (?) nation on earth that still taxes it's citizens even if they didn't step foot in the country the whole year. This forces you to either renounce your citizenship entirely (which is extremely risky to do until you have permanent citizenship elsewhere, which can take many years), or be exploited by the US gov.

What countries are the best/easiest for immigration?
I mean, it's still an interesting project, and it's cool that it's pushing the limits of c. But a more conservative replacement for libc would be more likely to see widespread use
"Generated"... by Africans and South Americans. But yesterday it was OK to do what Russia is doing now.
I worked for a start up that sourced truck drivers. One of the major factors is that sign on bonuses tend to be bigger than any kind of retention pay. So the 94% turnover is misleading. Truckers are generally leaving for a sign on bonus at a new company. They aren’t leaving the industry at that rate.
> If Mexico has a treaty with China and begins stationing Chinese troops, USA certainly would have a big problem with that.

Sorry, but this is nonsense analogy. The correct one would be: China attacks Mexico against its will.

If Ukraine wanted to be part of Russia, they would do so via a referendum, just like UK left EU. The referendum would have high turnout and at least 50%+ of population would vote YES, we want to integrate with Russia. That's how things are done when there is a legitimate reason to believe that some country and its residents want such geopolitical change.

"I fail to see why it's a bigger deal than lives lost in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Myanmar, Tigray, Palestine, or any of the other places in recent history where there have been scores of human rights violations"

In terms of tragedy of individuals, it's not "a bigger deal". It's a bigger deal in terms of global security of the western nations and their values. And spare me condescending tone about those values not being ideal or ideally followed - if you have doubts about them then try to change them or relocate to better places - I don't know, maybe to Moscow?

" But if we're really concerned about war with a nuclear power above all else, we shouldn't be poking the bear in its backyard at all "

The bear has entered your backyard.

Oh man, this reminds me of a story - GE Profile oven in a ski condo, last day or second to last day we were there.

Broke in a way that you couldn't open the door - and we couldn't get the bacon out. Wound up reading the repair manual and a forum while the GF cooked eggs, trying to figure it out.

The Solenoid that is used to lock the door when it goes through a clean cycle has to be powered on 100% of the time, and keeps its spring compressed. Power turns off to lock it. If the insulator/bushing for it breaks, it will jam open & lock the door.
Family will never buy GE appliances after this happened. Mom just bought a new Kitchenaid that's got exactly 0 smart features.
The invasion of Taiwan would require a massive amphibious assault across a sea full of hostile submarines. You couldn't hide all the ships required from satellites. And China's economy depends heavily on trade with the west-aligned world.
We live in beautiful times. We can ask everyone, e.g. the OP, if he can give some links to his opinions here on HN or on twitter or elsewhere - where he criticized russian government for attacking Ukraine. Surely some russians did it, but most sadly didn't.

On a side note, I'm convinced Doctorow is the greatest cyberpunk writer there is, but I'm also sure the reason for this is because earlier writers had to imagine a dystopian future. Doctorow, like the rest of us, is living that future (which is much more boring that fiction made out) and he's simply documenting what he sees.
> : Stop the attack against their neighbour and the sanctions are lifted.

That would be too easy - there needs to be war reparations paid to Ukraine too - although nothing will bring back the lost lives.

So what about - yes, sanctions lifted, and the 300 billion Russian state stashed away is given to Ukraine.
This is a suggestive study, but far from conclusive on its own.

Given the popular zeitgeist around egg consumption, it’s quite likely that those who eat eggs are also more likely to engage in other riskier or unhealthful activities.

This study seems to try to look for confounds, but in the end is a self-report study, which (again given common attitudes around egg consumption) means that I’d be looking for huge effect sizes to believe there is something real going on.

As it is, you’d have to believe that people who care about health but eat eggs anyway are less than 7% more likely to underreport their cholesterol consumption. (Number made up, but the effect size in the paper is about a 7% greater risk.)
Eg.Yugoslavia's issues were internal.

I found a "normal mode" solution in a couple minutes after some trial/error. But then I spent 10 minutes trying to find a solution in "hard mode" to no avail. I ultimately gave up and wrote a recursive solver in python. Now I feel better about myself and can continue about my day.
People should massively buy this oven and return it. Because that's what this company deserves for being so user-hostile.
As a skilled developer ? Shouldn't be that hard - plenty of options to pick from. If you aren't fond of the US or EU there are other countries that have much better standard of living/ personal freedoms compared to Russia.

It's not easy in the sense that you'll just get a citizenship - but I have many former co-workers that went to Canada, US, Australia, etc., some got the permanent visa/citizenship, some are in the process.
The extra profits from increased consumption will trickle down in the form of new jobs that don't pay a living wage either
Yeah we (IT crowd of Russia) had time to leave and wanted to leave and planned to leave. But even as programmer it's can be just hard to immigrate without losing 3-5 years of your life in the middle. Also losing all you friends and social circle isn't fun. I already lived abroad for 3-months / 6-months / 3-years and I know what how it feels to move countries.

I personally had amazing personal projects going on and finally started to work in game development industry. My dream was to play games and make games. I wanted to get current projects to completion and then look for relocation options.

All these terrible events just taken us by surprise. A lot of my friends are anti-regime, but no one including me expected Putin to go batshit crazy and start full scale war. Of course all we could do is to run.
For now at least there are ovens that don't require it. But since it's remarkably hard to find a robotic vacuum that doesn't require wifi connectivity it may just be a matter of time before all ovens are asking their owners to create an account.
Really? Just go to the east then
This is such an insane war on "misinformation".

I would give anything to go back to usenet and that everything would be taken with a grain of salt because it is usenet.

That is never going to happen though. We are society of automatons now who have mostly outsourced their thinking to the mob/group mind of social media.

If you read Le Bon or Freud's work on group psychology it may as well be talking about social media in 2022.

"The feelings of the group are always very simple and very exaggerated. So that the group knows neither doubt nor uncertainty. It goes directly to extremes, if a suspicion is expressed, it is instantly changed into an incontrovertible certainty."
Charade this, charade that.

Reality is hard to face, but it gets harder the longer you wait.
Thanks for the link! I can see being sceptical about the fund given the somewhat nebulous nature of the descriptions of their grants, and I look forward to seeing how they shake out by the end of the year. The reason why I asked is because it seemed like a strong position to take to say that the money was being "sprayed up the wall" given the little information we have about the outcomes of the fund. ?

That being said, "what is best for Wikipedia" is in itself a nebulous proposition in the first place because different people have different requirements and visions for the project. Personally to me, the investments in investigative journalism (1) seem like they could have a direct value contribution since it could expand original reporting of facts for the site. That is of course debatable, but we'll see.

Thanks for clarifying!

This post was inspired by several conversations I've had on HN about features that are widely useful, but which are for some reason hidden within accessibility menus.

Given the interest in accessibility on HN, I wanted to share it back here and see if folks had other examples.
And it references the "ivory tower" of academia, the pursuit of "higher learning". In the age of skyscrapers we don't appreciate the inherent power/awe that tall structures likely had on people. It symbolically indicates power from ability, technology, competence, engineering, and use of resources.

Actually, skyscrapers ARE the modern equivalent. The "wizards of finance" and the like inhabit them, exerting power with the magic spells of technology, finance, bribery, influence, and organization. Corporations seek them for the same reasons that fantasy wizards, kings, and churches used to.

And duh, Tolkien. It's the title of the second book.
Young people have dealt with trolls and a have a better grasp at getting what internet misinformation is and isn't. It's not great, but it's much better.
Yes for SAT atleast. The best results I have seen used graph neural networks which were trained on different classes of problems (ones amendable to local neighborhood search, ones with a small unsatisfiable cores) and neural networks trained on these classes were able to learn some kind of algorithm that works on these but they were not competitive in terms of performance if one uses a traditional solver. Generalization inside a problem class was shown but there was no meaningful generalisation between problem classes.
Can’t say I disagree with the sentiment.

I can’t see what he has to gain from this war. There’s no upside for him.

All I can think is that he’s got something like Parkinson's, knows he’s on the way out and just wants throw his weight around one last time.

Honestly though your guess is as good as mine.

For what it's worth, if anything, I think you're a hero and I deeply appreciate your efforts. You're doing more than the vast majority of people (in any country) would do. It's just far more easy to change your principles than to live them and most people choose the path of least resistance.
Most definitely. And I believe that was the option Putin proposed to Zelensky, as long as he agrees to not join NATO.
From experience, a lot of this stuff gets redirected to jail and prison kitchens where the labor is free or cheap. Then those guys get to spend their days cutting out eyes and sprouts and sorting the ones full of maggots out as best they can (they're not 100% effective). And then they get served to the denizens.

I have seen it many times with my own eyes that potatoes turn green on sides exposed to light. This is mostly not related to sprouting which happens when they are in a warm place.

> And we punished Germany for generations because of it.

Poland, who fought Germany with the biggest % casualties, ended up in a much worse state than Germany, because of russian occupation in the form of communism (Germany had a healthy part to take over after USSR collapsed) and no participation in the marshal plan.

So I have doubts if we can speak about Germany being punished for generations.
I don't know what nazi propaganda was. The narrative of the russian officials is like the ukranian army places its heavy units in residential areas which makes them difficult to attack without causing collateral damage.

Cluster likely, vacuum unlikely. They are not covered by geneva convention and I don't think Russia signed no-use treaties for them (it doesn't make these munitions less horrible).

> how could that be construed as anything other than "we're taking all options for settling disputes off the table, except violence?

Because is it explicitly an option for settling disputes that is not violence? If you don’t want countries to go to war, you need solutions to settle disputes that aren’t violence. Trade sanctions are one such solution.
