There was no signed agreement, I'm not disputing that. And I don't think it's valid to use the term "hearsay" for a transcript.

Putin is putin, he's dictator with no regard for human life at this point.

What I think though, is that the west was ruthless with Russia after SU collapse in the 90s and early 2000s which actually created the resentment we see now.

This talk is a tad dramatic but very well captures the public sentiment I believe.

Unlike eastern europian countries Russia couldn't just join eu/nato and started retaliating only when Georgia and Ukraine were on their path to nato. Not that unreasonable if you ask me.

> Yeah, 'just a fact of life'. NATO expansion into smaller countries, due to this 'fact of life' is a 'fact of life' itself.

As this war (unfortunately) which I believe wouldn't happen if ukrainian leaders were a bit smarter (and it wouldn't mean becoming Belarus - one could be smth like Kazakhstan in terms of foreign policy).

I love that the author highlighted Prof. Robert Ghrist's great material. I took his calculus classes through Coursera maybe about 8-9 years ago. He just makes everything exciting and his visuals are just beautiful. For example, within the first few lectures, he made it feel like Taylor series was like the coolest thing ever. Highly recommend checking his lectures out. Check out his website: https://www2.math.upenn.edu/~ghrist/
To the section "Popular Math Books" I would add almost anything by Julian Havil. John D. Cook referred to him as a writer of "serious recreational mathematics" [1]. I would probably put his "Nonplussed!" and "Impossible?" books in the "Level: Easy" group, with the others at least in "Level: Medium". "Gamma" is one of my favorite serious recreational math books.

If you like getting into the nitty-gritty of problem solving then check out the books of Paul Nahin. They vary between "Level: Medium" and "Level: Difficult", with many of them reveling in the solution of equations, and integrals in particular. Although he recognizes the need for proofs, he makes a point of avoiding them in his books.

This doesn't hold in any enterprise setting.

Coming to this case that OP describes, I think OP, you have high empathy and are passionate about your product. Since you're likely an entry-mid level engineer, sometimes others have more context of the business setting.

It would be good to implement ideas like:
1. Tracking crash reports
2. Coming up with a test framework that helps avoid regressions
3. Coming up with a script that can analyze errors, which reduces manual ops.
4. Setting up a job that compiles these errors and send it out over email every week, so managers and business automatically learn about what users are seeing.

There are other sites that do this and they generally just drop these exercises without warning on candidates without even telling them what stack it is. I got asked to do a MERN coding exercise when I haven't touched that stack for years. I expect this app will be used the same way. It's just a logical continuation of moronic recruiters doing blind keyword scanning and hiring managers who don't give a fuck. Then they wonder why they can't hire or retain anyone. It's not your fault they suck shit. This app looks useful when used as intended.

At least with this app, they (the company) can't turn it into doing unpaid work on their app that they then keep or using the interview as a dumping ground for problems they themselves are stumped on (Amazon loves doing both of these things). At least not yet.
I posted this in the Hackaday comment thread as well: If I am not mistaken, Valve instigated the creation of this part as an element of the VirtualLink standard. This standard achieved four lanes of DisplayPort and USB 3.0 over a USB-C connector by reusing the USB 2.0 pins and using a USB 2 to USB 3 bridge.

I was on the Oculus side of VirtualLink. It made sense as a standard and overcame some of the shortcomings of USB-C, but never really got off the ground.
The largest power plant in Australia, Loy Yang, and a few others, are all located about 190km from Melbourne (pop 4.9 million). The power plants were built there not because they are close to a population center, but because that is where the coal mines are and because it is far enough away from the population centers for pollution to not be a problem. Similarly Gas plants get built near the ports, to minimize transport costs. Compare this with rooftop solar, which has very high uptake across all of Australia, including the regions like Melbourne in the darker southern latitudes. Or the wind farms, which are able to be built all over the place with no need to be stuck near some resource like coal. Turns out that wind is everywhere, and by spreading generation out you get more consistency of generation. You can build wind as close to population centers as the population allows, and people are literally building solar on their own roofs.
This is a really nice idea.

For many years, I was known as Firstname Firstlastname, but several years ago I got married and now I’m Firstname Secondlastname. Which is my true label? I tend to go by First, a shortened version of Firstname. Is that my label?

Oh yea, also, my wife goes a first name totally different than her legal first name, so her family calls her one thing, and her friends call her something else. She’s still the same person either way.

Names aren’t all that important, I’m thinking.

My argument in my original post was that the fact that this is a satellite network is likely to be completely irrelevant to the actual attack and that the parts that were compromised exist just as well in a terrestrial-based network. However, "satellite network suffers cyber-attack" is a better headline than "local ISP was stupid and got their management network pwned" - the former implies extra complexity which works well for ass-covering and swaying public opinion, something they very much need if it turns out the vulnerability was very stupid & mundane.

Just to level set, I am NOT saying that ET's do not exist.
But, I have personally seen a UFO or Unexplained blah blah, double speak thing.
I live near Seattle, with a beautiful view of Lake Washington facing East and a wonderful view of Mt. Rainier, the location of the first documented UFO sighting.

One beautiful sunny summer day, I was sitting out on my deck relaxing and I saw a UFO near Mt. Ranier, a bit south of the mountain. It was very shiny and seemed to be moving at hyper-sonic speeds between a location close to the mountain and then suddenly a location a bit east of Renton. I was thinking, Wow, that is bizarre !. It was silver and oblong shaped and seemed to be appearing in one location and then appearing in another location and then waving back and forth. Then appearing and disappearing. So completely strange.

Of course, I immediately ran and got my binoculars, to get a closer look, but it was still a little fuzzy and hard to follow. So I switched to my spotter scope I use for target practice. Still, not definitive.

I went to my Bird Watching scope which is the highest power I had. It was difficult to track but eventually, I detected that, the object turned out to be some guy in a paraglider with a very shiny parachute. He was sort of swinging back and forth. There was some sort of weird atmospheric anomaly that seemed to cause the image to move from one place to the other but, it was really one thing.

Very interesting, had I not had access to a lot good optics and so forth, I could see someone getting weirded out by it. I saw later that other people had reported it as a UFO.

I am not saying that all sightings are bunk. Not at all. I am just saying, that I can see how some things can be mis-interpreted. Very easily. It's very possible some sightings are ET, I do not know, this is just my one experience.

In a way, writing types is proof-esque. It establishes some basic correctness guarantees regardless of the programming language. Some concepts like refinement types make it seem more "mathy", by requiring quantifiers within programs: https://ucsd-progsys.github.io/liquidhaskell/blogposts/2019-...

It used to be easy to get to. Lake Powell came within a quarter mile of it when I was a kid. When it hit full pool, I think the lake actually extended under the arch.

At that time, nobody was particularly concerned with Native American sentiments about the arch. I mean, we didn't do anything that was obviously disrespectful to us, but I don't know how the Native Americans felt about us just walking up to and under it.

(And, technically, it's a bridge instead of an arch, since it goes across the watercourse.)

In 2020, it was not yet clear whether or not Donald Trump would be the last US president.

In 2021, that question was answered with a pretty decisive 'No'.

Between America not turning into a president-for-life sort of country, 8 billion doses of the 'rona vaccine getting administered around the world, and the second variant of note turning out to be a lot less dangerous than the first, there were quite a few metrics by which the trend of things got better.

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/8885

that's (a) not really a bug in ZFS, and (b) "fails to boot sometimes" is pretty different from btrfs shitting the bed and corrupting its pool. There was one of those recently with ZFS iirc (and specifically only ZFS-on-Linux) but they are fairly rare and notable when they occur!

(As a general statement, ZoL is less mature than ZFS-on-FreeBSD and likely (perhaps) to continue to be so given the licensing issues. I've also run into some problems where I can't send a dataset from FreeBSD to a ZoL pool (but rsync works fine). But again, generally bugs that actually lead to data loss are exceedingly rare.)
For me personally it was a matter of benchmarks. In the past I have seen higher performance numbers especially when dealing with directories that contain a very large number of files creating / deleting vs ext4. I've not tested since the 5.11 kernel time-frame however. But to your point it would be nice to see XFS have an option to grow inode limits dynamically like brtfs instead of having to manually adjust it. I've honestly never even tried out brtfs but it looks like I should.
> I have literally not made an arguable claim in this thread other than stating what my diet is.

Except that all you've done is repeatedly try to convince everyone that gums are "nasty" and "invented" and "unsafe" within the personal anecdote of "I don't eat gums and look at me, I'm the definition of perfect health, and that means you shouldn't trust any science!"

Despite your insistence that you've "literally" made no claims at all, here is a shortened list of the false and disinformative claims you managed to make within the span of five brief comments:

1. Seeds and gums are "unsafe" because "reasons."

2. Gums were "invented in a lab."

3. Gums are "unnaturally and chemically produced."

4. You can "taste the gum" in "cheap" cream cheese products.

5. Cream cheese contains "other unsafe and lab-invented ingredients."

6. Food science is "arbitrary" and "isn't even science."

7. A naturally occurring process "doesn't exist until it's observed," at which point it becomes an "invented manmade process."

8. Anecdotes can "prove" safety, but scientific research can't.

9. You are "one of the few remaining people" in the world to not be overweight.

That's a whole bunch of completely untrue claims for "literally only stating what my diet is," and the last claim is easily one of the most arrogant and ignorant statements I've ever heard, given that only 39% of the global population is considered "overweight or obese." It's very telling that you consider yourself to be so uniquely special despite being in the same classification as 4.75 billion other humans, which explains why you're so overly (and mistakenly) confident about your anti-science views.

> If someone would like to replace it with a traditional fruit skin gum or whatever, then I would eat it.

It has been explained to you multiple times now that locust bean gum -- the gum used in nearly every cream cheese brand -- is a milled seed that has existed and been used for thousands of years. It is completely natural in every conceivable way, it meets all of your arbitrary pre-science and pre-modern requirements, and is chemically the same as a "traditional fruit skin gum." So if you're willing to eat fruit skins, you shouldn't have an aversion to locust bean gum. Yet, you're still here trying to convince people that it's "unsafe" and "invented recently," and that your anti-science philosophy is something to be applauded.

Quite the contrary. Your intentional dedication to irrationality and disinformation is quite disturbing, and that you think irrationality is a characteristic that makes you better than other people is even more troubling. Nobody is trying to convince you to eat bean gums, but you're decidedly trying to convince everyone not to.
It's so frustrating to not be believed by care providers. Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I'm glad you found a solution.

As a Catholic: this is a bad, reactionary take. Pull up any of the dozens of lists of "famous childless people" Google will give you and note how many of them you wouldn't ever think to accuse of "stealing other people's lunches from the office fridge". Our duty is to leave the world a better place than we found it. One way to do that is indeed to raise children to keep the ball rolling forward, but there are others.

Obnoxious cosmopolitan liberals are, well, obnoxious about valorizing childlessness, which is not by itself a moral virtue. But forgoing the comforts of family in the service of a greater goal is. You're trying to take soi-disant elites down a peg, as you often do, but you've wildly overshot your mark here.
It should be pretty easy to figure out which one it is, except if the deployment vector was actually a malicious firmware update.

A plausibly deniable exploit like that is probably orders of magnitude more expensive, and the timing is suspicious enough that it's probably not even worth trying. In any case, it's not like it's trivial to attribute (beyond reasonable doubt) a "transparent" cyber attack either.
The main thing you need to know about Matrix is that you need a "homeserver". The makers of Element will provide you a central one. You can make your own, or run in a VPS or something, but all your messages are stored on there and there is (last I heard) no way to move them from one homeserver to another. So, there might be strong reasons to run in a VM so you can move it around as needed. (But I am not sure about how easy it is to move it from one IP environment to another.)

If you run the flagship server, which is coded in Python, you need a lot of RAM. Gigabytes. So the $4/mo level VPS, or a cheaper Pi, might not be enough.

There has been talk about making the Element app itself work as a homeserver. I don't know how far along that is, or how well it can really work.

Voting is not an approval rating. In a democracy, leaders don’t just validate their decisions with “ratings,” they actually derive their mandate from the voting results. Zelensky was voted into power with overwhelming public support on a platform of NATO alignment. There were several Russian-aligned candidates who also had a fair shot at earning a mandate from the public. They failed. Zelensky won (and not by a little bit).

There’s not even a little bit of surprise in this state of the world, either. Russia is ruled by thugs and has been for a long time. It’s not surprising at all that when a country goes democratic, they tend to align with NATO.
