Something that surprised me is that there apparently a lot more money in sustainability that I assumed. Large companies signing big checks. The market pressure is coming from long-term investors, government regulation, and a generally increasing awareness around sustainability issues.

It's a _very_ wild guess but there might be opportunities in that general area for a software engineer that has deep practical knowledge around performance.

I've never been able to fully grok parsers. I can write them, but can't make a functioning programming language out of them. I've read books, some of my favorite programming books ever (hat tip to Robert Nystrom). I've read papers, some of my favorite papers ever. But I never can quite seem to get it all to stick.
No, humans are enslaving and torturing multiple species because they taste good. And I'm the irrational one? Because I value not causing suffering over personal pleasure? If that's irrational, then fuck whatever is considered rational. It IS morally reprehensible. Just because they aren't human doesn't mean they don't suffer. If there were a group of humans that were perpetually imprisoned, tortured, and eventually murdered, we would call it what it is: genocide. It fits the definitions laid out by the UN.

Tipping is almost the opposite of police corruption.

The idea behind tipping is that the wait staff will do a better job if part of their salary depends on impressing the customer. How well this actually works is a different conversation.

With police corruption they are purposely doing a bad job to get the bribe, and getting the bribe encourages them to keep doing a bad job.

I wish wait staff were paid better, or atleast got an automatic gratuity everywhere, then we wouldn't need tips.
In theory I agree with you, but it's not like silencing 'ideas and argument you disagree with'

Look at this: https://www.rt.com/russia/551384-russia-ukraine-nuclear-fals...

>“The SBU and the militants of the Azov Battalion are planning to blow up the reactor and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly launching a missile attack on the experimental nuclear facility,”

This isn't a discussion in which people are arguing different opinions in good faith, it's straight up manipulation to excuse killing more people.
You'd care if you were plugging up 1kW lightbulbs instead of 100W bulbs.
It seems that 13k civilians were killed directly by the US and its allies

Wrong logic.

First, one report claims this as a theory, where as the US believes 1300.

Second, this was over 5 years, half a decade!

Third, great care was taken to not harm civilians.

Fourth, this was the US and her allies, not the US alone. Some of her allies are locals.

Further, this was a campaign against a violent group, Islamic State, invading, and slaughteting people relentlessly. Had the US and allies not stepped in, it is not hard to imagine IS killing even more, had their progress not been halted.

This is just an absurd comparison. You are working so hard, and diligently, to present the US in the worst light possible. It is just silly.

That reminds me of the first Windows program I wrote at my first job on Windows 3.11 in early 1995. IIRC, I referenced Programming Windows (I think) by Charles Petzold and it had a basic Windows program that had two menu items - "Do It", "Quit". I adapted that program to build my prototype and perform the task in the "Do It" menu handler. :)

Yes, but I'm not sure we can trust what's coming out of Ukraine/Zelensky either, like 10K Russians killed, victory is imminent, etc. This way at least we may get tidbits from the other side, including arguments/thoughts from Russia side.

E.g., I saw a post yesterday on Medium that Ukraine is discriminating against black refugees (https://medium.com/alternative-perspectives/why-are-black-pe...). If you're only listening to the Ukraine friendly media, you'll miss that (IMO important fact).

Russian Empire is known as «Prison of peoples» [0]. It's time to free peoples from the jail. RF is too big to form a proper liberal democracy. It's better to allow every nation inside RF to establish their own democracy instead, and join a union after that, when they will be ready.

2000 IU is an almost arbitrary number anyways. The precise input is obviously less important than the resulting serum levels, quantifiable by a simple blood test measuring 25-hydroxy D. A recent meta-analysis of 32 studies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103214/) recommended >30 ng/mL 25(OH)D for lower all-cause mortality risk. Just get a blood panel in the summer/winter.
So many reasons.
Fossil fuels are half of their economy at best. As a single market, China doesn't pay them much per barrel. Their oil production per barrel is expensive. Their drilling industry uses Western tech and resources, including Western technicians. I have a difficult time imagining any country doing well with their imports and exports reduced by 50-60%.

oec.com has lots of info per country on what makes up their economy.

I don’t think you can piecemeal it. If we do a “no-fly zone” you might as well put boots on the ground because that’s what will happen anyway. What do you think stops Putin from “feeling threatened” by NATO warplanes flying out of Poland and using a nuclear weapon on an airbase to “solve the problem”. If you cross the threshold then why wouldn’t he just assume NATO is attacking Russia and just start new military operations? The no-fly zone is certainly worth considering but it adds instability with unpredictable outcomes.

Of course if people were dropping bombs on my neighborhood I’d be begging for salvation. I’d be begging for more than a no-fly zone. I’d want Russian military bases bombed and international forces engaging in combat to repel invaders too. Should we also do that? Russians aren’t using only 500lb bombs. They’re on the ground with machine guns, they launch missiles from Russian territory, and they use artillery.

We have to be careful. There is a lot at stake here. I agree with your suggestions about appeasement, but the situations aren’t totally the same since NATO apparently has a far more dominant military and economically it’s not even a discussion. Germany had the best military to start WWII.

Sounds like you might have a software startup rather than a hardware one.
Do you want to make a comparison between the populations abused by post-USSR Russia and the populations abused by USA/NATO/Europe? Trust me, it wouldn't bode well for the west. If you talk about the Chechens, I could talk about Koreans, Vietnamese, Afghan, Iraquis, Iranians, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Lybians, Congolese, Palestinians, Chileans. I stop here, but we know the list goes on.

What would have shown some balls would have been turning off Nord Steam 1. Germans do own woolly sweaters to wear if it's cold in their homes, and Germany does have forests to use for firewood for at least one winter.

I don't see how exposing a vulnerable audience to distilled pure propaganda is actually a good thing.
To be fair, the tool doesn't seem to be exclusively for "business software", so that would be a parameter you'd control yourself.
Not good. Reporting should be held to some standard. At minimum, knowingly lying about important topics while claiming to be a serious news organization needs to be a serious crime.

For instance, RT claims to be a news source, but knowingly lies about atrocities committed by the Russian government.

Most people don't have the resources (time, knowledge, smarts) to see what is not true by themselves.

Alternative viewpoints need to be shown for actually controversial topics, of course.

I grew up with color screens on everything but my GameBoy Pocket. But for some reason the B/W laptop my oldest sister had gotten for college in the early 90s made it's way home for me to mess with and I was surprised how well so many of my favorite DOS games worked in B/W.
A less popular opinion: when you're in the danger zone regarding mindless scrolling, say several hours per day, another way to look at it is that you simply have too much time on your hands.

When you add friction to using these apps as some type of self-control, the problem is that the time surplus is still there. Which leaves infinite excuses to get back into the habit.

You need to replace that time with something better. Preferably fun social obligations, because those you won't easily opt-out of. Agree with a friend to go walk to the park every Wednesday. Do volunteer work. Group sports. Cook an extra nice meal for your partner on a particular day. Stuff like that. Fill up your surplus of time with things that are fun and have meaning.

I know, for some the above is too steep. For the ultra lazy, there's still options. Pick a movie/documentary that you expect to enjoy. Now put your smartphone in another room and fully engage with the movie. Use your own laziness as a tool as you can't bother to get it.

Further, uninstall Facebook, Twitter, the like from your phone. Only check them on desktop.

Finally, minimize chat on your phone. I limit chat to practical matters only. Needing to pick up something from the store, input on a party that is being organized, things like that.

Anything else...I don't engage. I'm not going to have a long winded social conversation on chat just for the sake of it. To signal this, just respond a day later, and only with "yes", "no" or "OK".
It's a quoted statement...
> most countries have laws on how media should work

Much of how the internet works reflects its origin in the United States where freedom of speech is a paramount value. In America, the notion is that it's better to combat lies with the truth than with repression.

In the era of Fake News and The Big Lie, this value is being stretched thin. It may be that we'll need rules to restrict the spreading of untruths, perhaps a labeling system as you suggest. Even so, I think it will be very hard, if not impossible, to craft laws of that sort without building an edifice for repression.
I am by no means justifying the armed Russian aggression, but Ukraine was not neutral. There was a forceful overthrow of the democratically elected government in 2014:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_Dignity

and Ukraine has been forming deep military ties to the NATO states since then.

This move to alignment with the West is popularly supported in Ukraine mind you, but the reaction it would elicit has been anticipated and warned about for years.
No, it's just slightly unintuitive. That's not the same thing.
Every so often I like to ‘break the rules’ and write functions that look up the stack to find variables that they should not normally have access to. (TCL and Python are notorious being able to do this, C also if you are inzane.)

One range of applications is when you are writing a set of functions intended for interactive use in the REPL and you want to keep context between them. These days though I use contextvars to do that, in the JVM world thread local variables are a great way to do that (Clojure uses them to set numeric precision.)

Not a bubble because for the most part people are buying homes that they can pay the mortgage on.

High energy prices are also going to spike inflation which eventually means rates rise. If that happens owners with their 2.75% mortgages aren't going to be inclined to sell. Coupled with higher new construction costs the housing market probably continues to rise.
Not if the volume is uneven. The either the silent parts will be inaudible or the loud parts will be extremely loud.
I run into this problem a lot on my day job. A lot of things are easy for people to do. A person can look at one example and categorize it A or B. No problem. But trying to get a computer to do it, en masse, at scale, algorithmically, in a reasonable amount of time, can be impossible. Some things just require a fuzzy neural network, I guess. One thing about the halting problem too... the computer can't run the program to determine if it halts or not, it has to be able to tell through essentially static analysis, without running it. I'd say for a human looking at a program, if they did the classic "run the program in my head" which many of us learn to do, then you aren't really abiding by the halting problem's strictures. It may not be as easy to "tell" as you think!
What's the credibility of Russia at this point? Absolutely none.

It's worthless since everything on RT is "Russia is always right, the rest are always wrong, and also they're Nazis/fascists/imperialists, and America/NATO did it too btw".
95% of them could be broken and it's still a scary thought.
I think “right-ish about a few big things early in his career, then became increasingly bizarre and unhinged” could broadly describe all those characters.
Given that some of the Azov are literally Nazis (https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/german-tv-s...), that's hardly completely beyond the realms of possibility. Or we're supposed to start giving Nazis the benefit of the doubt now just because Russia started it?

Why doesn't github still allow users to deactivate the "pull requests" tab?
While I agree with the sentiment of your comment, I do not agree that a government financed news station is in fact "just like" CNN providing favorable coverage to the current administration presumably in exchange for access or similar.

In the case of CNN, we see the collective bias of those who run the company optimizing coverage for engagement based on their assessment of the bias of those watching. In the case of RT, we literally know that guests or anchors who do not work to legitimize propaganda are at risk of physical retribution.

Everyone has a brain, its up to the individual to treat others with the knowledge that they have different information, perceptions, and experiences.

I'm not certain writing off whole swathes of people based on personal perspective is a good plan.

They are human, and want the best for themselves, and their family.

>Not sure what country you're referring to, but there's certainly no such rule in the US, Australia, or the UK. In the US it would be unconstitutional.

So in US you can say on newspaper or TV things like "Bob did X" and Bob can do nothing about it? I thought the at least justice can demand Bob to be paid damages and the newspaper/TV to show a retraction. I mean are you free to denigrate people in US with no consequences? If yes, let's ignore US and focus on countries where we demand media to act like professionals, to have a code and rules and to pay if they broke it, pay damages if they damage people etc.
I'm not a huge football fan at this point of my life and mostly follow basketball, but when evaluating NBA draft picks, the analogy used to describe projected draft picks outcomes of player floors and ceilings is very interesting to me.

For example, if a basketball player is judged to be very skilled (say he's a great outside shooter) and more likely than not to be useful to a team, but lacks the athleticism or some other attribute like height for his position to be a megastar, you might describe him as having a high floor but a low ceiling.

If a player is a phenomenal raw athlete with size but who still needs time to develop some skills like his shooting and ball-handling and defense, then he's usually described as having a low floor and high ceiling. These kinds of players might be out of the league in 4 years, or all-stars.

To bring this chain of thought back to the Wonderlic, I wonder if the outcome of that test is maybe a bit more highly correlated with a draft pick's floor and not his ceiling. A high Wonderlic score might not necessarily indicate stardom in the NFL, but a very low Wonderlic score might indicate a future inability to grasp complex defensive schemes and indicate a possible very low floor. This might be why an all-time great smart player like Tom Brady didn't necessarily have a particularly noteworthy Wonderlic score, but why NFL teams have found it somewhat useful to try and rule out low floors. I don't know for sure, I haven't crunched the numbers like others, but if there's any use to a test like the Wonderlic, some NFL team might find a competitive advantage in using it where others won't.
Except... This diet worked for him and he lost weight.
Even if we take your position at face value (which most would, it’s not controversial) that doesn’t invalidate GP’s statement. It just asserts that it’s the general case which applies to all geopolitical power dynamics.

“They” won’t stop unless someone stops them. That seems like a reasonable assertion whether you’re Ukraine or Yemen.
It's a mistake to assume your counterparty is reasonable.
Exactly, they aren't going to respect your FLOSS license conditions.
I don't have the figures handy, but based on what I am seeing I suspect we are entering a period of the biggest wealth gap in recent history between the rich and everybody else.

Massive, massive asset inflation, for those that own things - and the bigger and more you own, the more you have benefited, and then massive inflation in consumer/everyday products like food, energy and clothing and for those seeking to buy their first house, as well as renters finding out the rent is being jacked up rapidly - i.e. the people who can afford inflation, are seeing massive gains in their asset portfolios, and the people who can least afford it - are on the verge, if not already at, a disaster in the personal economic situation.

We are heading for a train wreck of massive proportions imo, best to get prepared if you can.
I've seen people draw parallels to Israel all the time in recent days, in the sense of "bombing civilians like Israel". Rather shocking, really.
This press release might be true because their terms are effectively that they won't kill Zelensky if he unconditionally surrenders his country
https://twitter.com/christogrozev/status/1500812687009267712

Russia apparently proposed

1. Zelensky remains pro forma president but Russia appoints Boiko as PM

2. Ukraine recognizes L/DNR and Crimea

3. No NATO, Ukraine writing into its constitution to be a neutral state

Zelensky told them emphatically no.

Russia just don't understand that even point 2 alone would be a very tough call for Ukraine, not to mention the rest.
Yes exactly.

They should cater to anyone who wants to learn. Withholding access to a dying platform is imbecile and frankly completely stupid. If successful, opening up could potentially sell more hardware as more people learn how to solve problems using these machines. I can't even see mainframes in the rear view mirror any more, and thats a shame. I would have enjoyed using one again.
