That is not possible. You get no usage data if someone uses your open source library, and the maintainer of the library that depends on you could be dead. This is a fine approach when you mail your API users an invoice every month, just tack on "hey start using v2". But open source libraries don't have that invoice cycle. The most you can do is tack on a warning in a future patch version, but they would have to update to that first.
It seems to me this article is pushing an ideal that doesn't really exist.

The article itself admits that "Africa’s Swahili-speaking zone now extends across a full third of the continent." That excludes two-thirds of the continent.

For example, in South Africa, there are a whopping eleven official languages, including Xhosa and Zulu (both so-called "Bantu" languages like Swahili), but Swahili is not one of them.

The same is true of most other Southern African countries: Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

As another example, Wikipedia has a list of 46 (!) languages spoken in Angola: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Angola . Swahili is not included.

There has been an effort to begin teaching Swahili in schools in both South Africa and Botswana, at least. But such efforts don't have a good track record of success. Take a look at Ireland, where students are taught the Irish language in school but, for the most part, are terrible at it. It seems unlikely that imposing a language on countries that don't natively speak it will succeed.

so we'll see how that works out for them
And I think it requires a realistic view of the world and what is actually possible. There was a time (1812-1815) when Canada and the US were at war. The circumstances of that are no longer relevant. If the US had decided to ally with the Nazis in World War II, what then? Oh, it didn't happen? But what if, huh?

If the US became a worse option for Canada than Russia, none of this discussion would be relevant. For one thing, Putin wouldn't be running Russia. And the US would be a very different place as well. Either that or Canada would have to have been overrun by an incredibly anti-American streak that doesn't really seem natural in the country right now.

The Monroe doctrine is important, but it is currently nothing like what Mearsheimer claims Ukraine owes Russia, which is fealty. I can see many places where the cold-war order has gone away. Perhaps in 1983, someone like Evo Morales would not have been allowed to run Bolivia. Ortega came back to power and was not opposed by a new batch of Contras. Brazil suggested that it was friendly to Putin and was not sanctioned for it. I think the times when Latin America was dominated by a few US multinational corporations backed by the Marines have passed and now the dynamic is much more like the relationships of smaller independent countries around their larger neighbors. When we are describing what relationship Ukraine deserves with Russia in the modern world, it should be much more like the US-Mexico relationship or the US-Canada relationship than the pre-2014 Russia-Ukraine relationship.
There is definitely less violent repression of journalists in Ukraine. But the corruption is worse, and the economy is doing very badly, it's the poorest country in Europe, despite fantastic conditions.

I'm obviously not saying it's OK to invade a country just because it's corrupt, and that's obviously not the reason. I'm only talking about the absurd apotheosis of the corrupt Zelensky and the crazy idea that Ukraine is some kind of democratic paradise.
Half-life has been used in the literature.
A lot of this is driven by regulatory, compliance or other outside factors.

Working in finance, healthcare, and other secure industries you must demonstrate control of the environment, which includes processes to clear up data.

Once a standard is common it’s easier to follow it and demonstrate that adherence to a regulator than it is to invent your own process and convince them it’s safe.

Even in current world with SSDs that don’t follow the same mechanics as spinning disks, regulators expect a 9-pass DoD wipe because that’s what they’re used to.

It’s easiest to just pass drives to a certified data destruction company who will provide a cert of evidence they did a DoD, NIST, etc certified wipe.

Reality is seldom part of the process.

Similar is the process for password resets. Regulars ask for 90 day resets and crazy complexity schemes when NIST actually just recommends relatively sane complexity, slightly longer passwords and no rotation.
But there is legitimate reason to villify. I can't speak for Apple specifically, but many companies are no longer matching the CoL increases. Housing prices are steadily increasing, and so is rent. Many have to resort to longer commutes, buying cars, and such. All of these have detrimental effects to the environment, mental health or both.

Pushing people back to the office with nothing else is incredibly tonedeaf to the current state and trend of the world. This despite many of them putting up the image they care about these things.
That doesn't always happen because of filial responsibility laws. Children are obligated to take care of their indignant parents by law in 28 states in the US.

Studies have consistently shown that sanctions only result in a change in behavior of governments 30-35% of the time. Sanctions designed to cause regime change have an effectiveness even lower than that. Also worth noting that this effectiveness rate has been declining since the 90s.

It's a joke; somebody asked for a Paw Patrol analogy. It's not actually an explainer, and wasn't intended to be taken as such.

You will have to decide how to interpret it and whether he really believes it. It's not exactly a "let's de-escalate together" statement, but it certainly suggests sanctions are working.
Maybe because companies that grow often delegate hiring to the HR department, which can't really filter for technical skills (only buzzwords in the resume). So, it's no wonder HR folks end up using generic personality tests to select candidates, at least in the early stages of the hiring funnel, before the engineering team gets involved.

I'm not saying personality isn't relevant for hiring, but the people conducting a hiring process can (perhaps inevitably) add bias to it, knowingly or not.
Pretty sure this is paw patrol but agreed, from the outside, it's incomprehensible. (I'm on the outside with you)
> Putin's propaganda is quite effective

It is. It is fascism and it is very effective. Frighteningly so. Twitter videos conducting interviews with Russian citizens on the streets are easy to come by. Many of them wholly support their president and his actions.
I’m going to rub the other way here and state that I didn’t enjoy it. Times puzzles aren’t fun since it eliminates time to think about strategy. I’d tweak it a bit to remove the timer and limit it to one solution per day(if you want to keep the daily model). This way the player would have time to pick the solution but mistakes are unforgiving if you want it perfect every day).
We made no such guarantee. This is a tiresome revisionist reading of history. No one in the United States signed up to turn Ukraine into an American protectorate in 1994.

It's a little more complicated than that. Ukraine did not have the ability to use any of those nuclear weapons because they never had the launch codes. They were basically stationed in Ukraine but were still under Moscow's control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_Action_Link

A rough analogy would be this, if the United States broke apart South Dakota would have hundreds of nuclear warheads but the South Dakotan Governor / State National Guard would not be able to use them because they never had the ability in the first place.
When it comes to my PC, I agree.

(Flex ahead) Not had very many gaming related problems with my Steam Deck, so I am hopeful for the universal release.
Because SALT deduction benefits only go to the top 5% to 10% income households.

Democrats do not really have a leg to stand on if they want to push progressive taxes. With the standard deduction at $13k/$25k, only the richest households in the solid Democrat states are affected by SALT deduction caps, and there is no reason for politicians not from those states to compromise on it.

Even the politicians from the high tax states have a tough time answering why they are holding up legislation to benefit the highest 10% of incomes of the state.

It was a pretty genius political move by Republicans.

Edit:

> There's no shortage of similar examples, from immigration policy to idiotic "easy to win" trade wars to USPS governance, where Trump policies have survived so long that it's hard to believe that the Democrats don't agree with them.

Also, a lot of these things require Senate approval which Dems do not have. When Trump was in office, all the Repubs were lockstep behind him, so he could push through a ton of stuff. Dems have not had this position since the Clinton days in the 90s.
If a class with its methods is a part of your API, and you add another method to the class that doesn't change the behavior of other methods, that it's a backwards-compatible release.

This is true globally.

Remote work became anytime work.

Most arent as blatant as setting up ridiculous times in the calendar, but the same goal is achieved by more insidious means. For example, a manager assigning a task that needs to be completed before the next day at 5pm.
That’s part of the rationale for homomorphic encryption, even if the device performing the operations is completely compromised it never has access to the unencrypted data, so given a theoretical perfect HE system your data would still be safe.

I’m off to read this paper S I don’t understand how they are using a side channel to extract information that the operating device theoretically shouldn’t have. If there’s a measurable power usage difference over the operations that implies that the encrypted bits do leak information about what is encrypted.
>That was certainly a stupid idea.

It is not at all clear that it was a stupid idea.

The nukes were useless because Russia had all of the access codes and the ICBMS had a minimum range of 5000 km. They could hit the USA but couldn't be aimed at Russia. The rest were disabled and Ukraine didn't have a nuclear weapons program or ability to repair them.

If they tried to keep them, they could have faced retaliation or attack from Russia, the United States, and other NATO allies.

Sure, please compare: https://re-data.github.io/dbt-re-data/#!/overview?g_v=1 and https://docs.elementary-data.com/ graph png.

Elementary models like data_monitors_thread1, data_monitors_thread2, data_monitors_thread3, data_monitors_thread4, data_monitoring_metrics, latest_metrics, metrics_stats_for_anomalies, z_score, anomaly_detection, schema_schenages, etc.
Existed before in re_data, are doing the same things and specifically for *_thread4 are not similar to anything you normally do in dbt.

And these similarities are also visible in code, for example here: the same usage of the undocumented dbt context feature.

{%- set macro_name = monitor + '_monitor' -%}
{%- if context['elementary'].get(macro_name) -%}
{%- set monitor_macro = context['elementary'][macro_name] -%}
{%- else -%}
{%- set monitor_macro = context['elementary']['no_monitor'] -%}
{%- endif -%}

{{- return(monitor_macro) -}}

# re_data

Euromaidan (Nov 2013, leading to the Revolution of Dignity, Feb 2014) seems to be one of the main things that pissed Russia off, that made them fear for their national security. Here's the people of Ukraine, showing hope & trying to cast off the corruption, unwilling to simply swallow the long dark agenda their leaders are pushing them towards. Amazing.

Having hope & democracy & people getting better is an existential threat to a nearby country that rules via corruption & force. Ukraine has improved slowly, moved up in the ranks of corrupt countries, passed Russia (now #122 vs Russia' #136 in the Corruption Perception Index, https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2021 ). The model of people being free to speak up against the bad is a primary threat, and happening too close to Russia for them to bear it.

> When the GOP-dominated Congress acted to remove the SALT deduction, I always assumed it was just a bit of petty electoral revenge that would be reverted almost immediately

The thing with capping SALT is that it is all of petty electoral revenge, a structural incentive to state policies Republicans like, and, because of who is individually impacted by first-order effects of the cap, a political trap for Democrats.
This isn't class mattering, it's kids thinking class matters, and trying to build themselves up by virtue of it. They are literally trying to convert real class into "cool-at-school" props, which should tell you how much they get out of the first.
"adjustment in HN moderation posture"

What was the adjustment?
Generally speaking, highly qualified and deeply developed encryption libraries will have much more resistance to side-channel attacks.
This resistance is something that is added to an implementation over time.

The fact that a library implementing a cutting edge method has not matured this much yet is not really a surprise.

Moreover, the fun parts of homomorphic encryption involve sending it to someone else who can process it. That someone else is probably not going to be able to measure your power draw. Though timing attacks can still be a worry.

> But to say that what Russia is doing is somehow US's fault, that really does not make any sense.

He's saying it is US's fault because Russia has been accommodating the US for decades. Russia allowed NATO to gobble up country after country all the way to Russia's borders.

> People say one thing and do another thing all the time, that's the way you play the game.

Hence it's NATO's fault. It is NATO's greed that resulted in Georgians dying. It's NATO's greed that resulted in ukrainians dying.

> But, one thing is to not keep your word about this or that, another thing is to start killing people. By the thousands. And destroy their homes. And make them leave their countries. Is really Mearsheimer incapable of understanding this difference?

War is politics by other means. As you said "well, welcome to politics.". Yes, ukrainians are dying. You can thank NATO.

The war in ukraine is a result of NATO's ( ultimately america's ) actions. NATO was the first mover ( aka the cause of it ). Nobody who has taken a class in international politics will debate it. None. And the biggest beneficiary of the ukraine war is NATO. Ukraine suffers, Russia suffer. NATO is sitting pretty.

US told the Soviet Union putting nukes in cuba would lead to nuclear war. The soviet union backed off. Russia said NATO expansion to Ukraine or Georgia would lead to war. NATO discarded it. If the soviet union had put nukes on cuba and got attacked, it would be the soviet union's fault. Just like the blame for ukraine lies entirely with NATO. But that's academics. In reality, the propaganda will tell you who is to be blamed for what in each country.

Can't wait to see what our meddling in Taiwan will lead to. Hopefully a serious punch in the mouth so we'll quit the empire business once and for all.
Obviously Ukraine didn't split in two and only small parts seceded. As to how many Ukrainians were unhappy with the new government - I don't have a good estimate as I wasn't interested in Ukranian politics and might be wrong.
