I touched some cobol on the side. My experience is these people are business knowledge keepers first and developers second.

The language capability and their tech level was extremely low. I got superpowers like grepping the full code base for a thing to refactor, or writing an sql select statement that could query a whole table at once, instead of just 1 record. Otoh, I ran into trouble when trying to integrate an url longer than 1 line of 80 chars. Non ISO8859-characters are still impossible over there.

Their superpower was explaining what the business actually did, what edge cases were forgotten,...

The unfortunate truth was I was easily replacable with any dev from the last 20 years, if only someone wanted to actually talk to them instead of stonewalling them for their incomprehensible elder rituals. And I got paid a lot better, too.
One country invaded another.

There is no other position to take.

If Putin didn't Putin then there would be no deaths. Ukraine were not planning on invading Russia.

Ask HN: Do Russians read the open Internet?
Personally, I get all my news from aggregators like HN and Reddit. If my country would do propaganda, I would barely notice it. Because the amount of local news I read is just a small part of my news consumption.

How is the situation for other HN readers? How is it for the people in Russia? Can they access the whole internet? Can the majority read English?

I took a look at my web server stats and it turns out 2% of my visitors are from Russia. 30% of them are from Moscow and 10% from Saint Petersburg. I guess these are people who already have an overview of international news about the current situation? Or would it help to put some infos up?
Depends what phone. if you're importing it yes, is not cheaper. If is a local brand most likely yes.

Also what you say is not even true

> Elementary PPP calculation
The PPP estimation process begins with the participating economies collecting prices for items chosen from a common list of precisely defined items. These common lists include both regional items, priced in a specific region, as well as global items, priced in all ICP regions. These two sets of prices cover the whole range of final goods and services included in GDP: household consumption expenditures, government consumption expenditures, and gross capital formation expenditures.

consuming what?
Is still the case actually, if they only consume non-imported goods they won't see the difference that much.

They have been outside of the global economy for decades during the cold war, they definitely know how to decouple. The problem is that this world is different than the previous one
Navalny is an ultranationalist who run an overtly racist anti immigration campaign when he tried to become the mayor of Moscow.

He is a political prisoner however the west should really stop trying to set him up as some sort of savior.

The problem with Russia isn’t the politicians it’s the complete lack of any government institutions that facilitate even the slightest shred of collective decision making.

Russia now is more autocratic than the USSR ever was because the USSR at least had party politics and the massive bureaucratic machine that needed to be appeased.

Russia as a nation is utterly broken it’s far closer to North Korea than to say China.

And the worst thing is that I don’t see a way out for them and for us from all of this at all. Taking out Putin isn’t going to fix things it would be a bandaid at most.
Can a vendor be held responsible for anything an unauthorized pirated copy of their software does?
The working theory is that massive corruption and yes-manning has led to Russia’s armed forces being a paper tiger.

If someone at the top says “we need to restock 1000 additional cruise missiles”, then the person under that grifts a little and says “we need to stock 950 additional cruise missiles”, and you follow that down the chain, you might end up with 500 instead of 1000 missiles. Same would go for things like vehicle maintenance. And it might be more invisible too, like ordering cheap tires instead of quality one’s.
This can be mitigated by creating a new WASM instance for every job. Even if there is internal corruption, the most it can affect is the output of the single task, nothing else.

That can of course be enough to causes damage, but the attack surface is still much smaller and makes RCE a lot less useful. Especially if capabilities are used to strictly limit the syscall surface for the WASM side (with reference types / interface type resources).

WASM isn't a magical security panacea, but it does offer solutions.

Of course not using languages that are prone to these attacks in the first place is a better fix.
I imagine they see it the same way they saw Islamic extremist content on their platforms, in that it's a liability despite the engagement.
Correct. It's a common acronym in the UK.
There must be many so tired of being forced into complicity. I wonder what would happen if unwilling media, instead of either trying to ride the edge, give up and parrot the lies or give up and close would do a soft refusal? E.g. by completely switching to something as obviously apolitical as detailed reports from the daily lives of their pet cats. If everybody not keen on signaling loyalty to the end would do that, would the Putinocracy have the structures required to quickly replace them, or to lock them up for writing about cats?

Well, it didn't take Telegram long to reveal their true colours, after all their disingenuous posturing about privacy and freedom of expression. back when the WhatsApp scandal blew up. I've lost count of the number of times I've read recently about them censoring this or that channel.

Mind you --given most of Telegram's updates seem to concentrate on junk like adding more animated emojis and cutesy cartoons, while basic functionality problems are left un-fixed for years-- I think it's been clear for a long time now that Telegram isn't a serious option for people actually valuing 'privacy and freedom'.

FWIW: this is little more than virtue signaling whack-a-mole anyway. RT.com [and the other Russian news sources] can just keep setting up new Telegram channels to broadcast on. The current one is:

BTW: I'm not taking the Russian side in this conflict, at all. I just happen to be vehemently opposed to censorship. If you're confident enough in the righteousness of your own arguments, you have nothing to fear from letting people hear your opponent's version too.
Not to be offensive, but is ALS his confirmed diagnosis?

How are they able to return a http response without having the keys to the site? Has EU gotten a CA (digicert in this case) to issue keys for the domain, redirected DNS and setup some server to specifically return a 403? I'm guessing RT is smart enough to not use a western hosting provider and CDN.
cause the West is clean from manufacturing reality ? LOL
For 2 years the Western was under a massive and unprecedented fake reality with a massive fake pandemia narrative, and dramatic consequences leading to major loss of freedom of mouvement, major economical losses and lot of preventable death. But for thoses who surender to this fake narrative they are fully compliant with mass medai narrative about Russia.

Western world is going down to third world status but still try to lead the world with senile president, unelected influencers leading all kind of lobbying institution representing privates interests. But Russia is living in a fake reality.

> If an AI can react to terrible human drivers

That's not sufficient - nowhere near sufficient. If an AI can react properly when kids are playing in a 5mph zone with cars parked on either side of the street, before their ball bounces into the street. If it can react appropriately to seeing a young kid clearly struggling to ride a bike. If it can understand that the tennisball bouncing across the road will be followed shortly by an enthusiastic dog... et cetera, et cetera.

I don't need an AI to compensate for shitty driving (taking a roundabout the wrong way). I need it to drive so as to protect non-vehicles that it encounters.
They're probably still high on their status during WWII. With that said, I think there's nothing wrong in offering alternative viewpoints and news sources to peoples who are being blatantly censored. I think more providers should offer this service.

> He is a political prisoner however the west should really stop trying to set him up as some sort of savior.

Is the West doing that? I’ve literally never seen anything from Western government or media saying anything positive about his platform/program, what he offers Russia, or anything, only that (1) he’s Putin’s most popular opponent, and (2) Putin tried to murder him, and then threw him in prison.

The West has set him up as a symbol of Putin’s authoritarianism (well, mostly Putin did that, but the West highlights it), not as a savior.

It seems there is going to be a class divide between seasoned employees (who are better at remote) and newbies. Who knows, this might even reverse the job-hopping trend because people prefer the stable comfortable remote job to having to put up a performance to gain the trust of the new employer .
That article completely misses the point - assembly (or machine code) might not be how the "metal" works on a modern desktop(-like) CPU, but that is irrelevant when that is the lowest level that said CPUs are exposing. On such CPUs C is at the lower levels possible.

But also C isn't just for Intel, x86 and (some) ARM CPUs, there are other targets it has.

It's not exactly true that Russia was the cause of it. At least not fully. I'd share the blame between US, EU and Russia, equally.

>Because programmers are smart generally and many of them are engineers. They can certainly figure out how to make furniture and repair or build simple woodworking machines and tools amongst many other endeavors.

I'm speechless.

Actually, the most profound examples of stupidity I'm seeng lately comes from programmers and technologist who think they understand everything just because they can read high-level simplified explanation of a concept in wikipedia or some blog post.

This arrogance is deeply concerning for me, it usually comes from people with no depth in anything other than programming. Dunning–Kruger effect? Maybe.

Elon Musk is a good example for high profile version of this. Without knowledge of caves he adventured to build robot to get kids out of a flooding cave, then proceeded to attack the person who actually knew his stuff and saved the kids. Another one is again him, predicting the end of Covid in the US. Another gold from Musk is him insulting medical professionals for not pumping a drug that cures Covid, that later turned out not to cure Covid.

This is Musk but Musk-alikes dominate the programming culture. It's horrible.

Yes I mean overall, probably when you look at margins and % you should see same outcome from a company in the same industry

But depends, if you use goods and services from foreign countries that affect also that aspect.

Yes one country invaded the other and that invasion should rightly be condemned. That does not mean that one side is absolutely 'good' in everything and the other absolutely 'evil'.

A few days ago Ukrainian forces apparently shot dead an Israeli civilian at a road checkpoint because they though he was Chechen, for instance. It's been barely mentioned.

Then, sorry for bringing this up yet again, but "one country invaded another" equally applies to what the US have done many times, especially recently in Iraq (~100k-500k deaths). This does not absolve Russia but provides similar examples to show that the way global events and wars are reported depends as much on what's happening as it does on who's doing it because the bottom line is always geopolitical struggle, not 'good' and 'evil'.
...yeah, misrepresentation of the odds of success is actually an interesting part of the whole dynamic: I think many women sort of fall into this without intending it. Their peers suddenly all seem to be super-successful yoga solopreneurs, so they might get into it fully intending to use that as a career to financially support themselves and their families. When they later fail and discover the truth about their peers, they don't want to admit defeat and themselves fall into the pattern of bs'ing people about their success, thus becoming part of the problem.

Cultural output
How is Russia losing by having one less importer? By the way, I still see ads of McDonald's, KFC, and M&Ms on Russian TV. I think this would actually improve Russia's economy. And the TV is actually constantly reporting on the war. I bought an online subscription just so that I can see the Russian state's points. By US censoring Russia, they made it fair so that Russia censors back in response, i.e. hurting the Russians in Russia to hypothetically hurt Russians outside of Russia - it was the typicall knee-jerk and "mee too" move that does nothing positive at the end.
You sound reasonable, but the same tech which can censor one thing can censor other things. It's the thin edge of a wedge.
> I don't like it, but I also don't know how to fix it.

Google does not know how to fix this because they don't think outside of the tech box. This is very much an issue with their way of doing things.

You build relations with advertisers. If someone is spending 20k per day on your system (for months or even years), you better have someone to talk to and actually look at the issues they have.

He was nominated for a bloody Nobel peace prize and was a serious candidate.

European leaders, the media and plenty of wanna be political analysts on the internet are definitely skewing his story completely.

To me he is just another asshole that isn’t Putin, and whilst I can agree that his experience in prison and everything that led up to that including being poisoned might have finally knocked some sense into him but based on his actual political career in Russia I wouldn’t want him in any position of power.

The problem is that I don’t see a way to fix Russia that doesn’t include a massive war and a post war Germany like situation.

This isn’t about its people on an individual level many if not most aren’t different than you or me.

Collectively as a nation at this point it’s beyond redemption simply because how utterly broken it is on every level.

The USSR at least was driven by an ideology based on a universal political/social theory good bad it doesn’t matter.

Today I have no idea what Russia stands for and that’s the most dangerous situation I can think off because it means that nothing is off the table.

Russia is a nation that has been failing upwards for 2 centuries and it managed to fail upwards to the point in which it has a nuclear arsenal large enough to obliterate human civilization as we know it.
