People have been saying this here for 10 years, and, respectfully, no, it's not hard to escape this trap. Every project we bid at Matasano had the same terms: a whole-project cost estimate (broken out in units of days or weeks, allocated to milestones), and a clause in the proposal and the SOW that said overages were billed pro-rata additional days. Customers want to see a good-faith estimate of the project cost --- every customer for every service wants that --- but in my experience with hundreds of clients, not one has ever pushed back on T&M contract structure.

Tell your clients what the project is going to cost, and then work hard not to blow past that estimate. If you go over and it's your fault, eat the overage. If you go over because the customer wasn't ready for 3 days at the calendar start of the project, bill them the overage.

Unless your clients are whackjobs, nobody is ever going to take recourse to the contract terms and the law department. Just engaging the lawyers at all will create costs that swamp the overage dollars. Your customers true recourse is simply never doing business with you again.

If you want to do straight, metered T&M, that's fine. I think it's suboptimal but cromulent. But even then, there's still no reason to ever give your clients an hourly unit of work. Just bill days.
You do know that Russia isn't buying arms and ammunitions, it's producing them, domestically. Throwing the economy at that can make a lot or arms before the lack of hard currency from oil and gas sales slows that down.

This isn't true, why does it get repeated so often.

True. I don’t know much about other Slavic alphabets (other than my own, Serbo-Croatian). It looks like Polish has ć, ś, ź for this purpose. I’d be interested to learn more about the alphabets in Cyrillic. I assume they also have special letters for these three phonemes.
I love DuckDNS but we seriously need a more automated and integrated solution to this kind of thing. It's the missing piece that holds self hosted back.

Something that:

* Lets you set up a domain with a single command

* Handles security for you. There shouldn't be any manual admin needed to make a secure context site

* Works offline on the LAN if possible, and on Yggdrasil meshes.

I should be able to buy a device, plug it in, then scan the QR code on it's display and be instantly taken to its website, no setup or account creation.

Unfortunately the web blocks all insecure requests from within secure contexts, and has no MDNS type functionality, so building a P2P solution with service workers or something is very hard/impossible.

DuckDNS is really almost there. It's the security that makes it hard, Let's Encrypt is not exactly consumer grade.
Volkswagen to Build $2.2B New EV Plant to Keep Up with Tesla
I think the requirement that the "vehicle performs all driving tasks under all conditions – except in the case of natural disasters or emergencies" will enable both sides to declare victory. I'm sure that there will be some other unforeseen edge case where it doesn't work even if for all intents and purposes L5 is reached.

Edit: Or to put it more accurately, enable Jeff to declare victory even if he loses.

Yes, the south part of hangar is damaged. That the missile came from the left (North) on the image i posted is obvious by the pattern of blast effects and the trace in pavement the missile made - it is very clear that the right end of the trace is deeper visually and by the blast effects geometry. The missile pierced the hangar roof - it is thin metal sheet not affecting anything - either where it was microsecond later damaged by the blast or where you see the hole over the tail of the plane on my original link as well as here https://d3lcr32v2pp4l1.cloudfront.net/Pictures/780xany/4/4/5...

The missile struck pavement ~30m from hangar, the hangar is ~30m high and the roof is damaged to the point about ~30m from the edge. The missile came at low angle, so it could have come through the area there the roof was damaged by the blast (that gives minimum angle for the missile - by the 60m to 30m ratio - of a bit under 30 degree), and the hole over the plane's tail gives the low angle which is also a good candidate.

That said, I agree with your sentiment. It's a natural evolution of the market at this point. And it should've happened years ago. The other players aren't as good at limiting the spam because it's a cash-cow. If Google could stop the spam, then they should offer ads now. It would be good for workers.

Fear of being involuntarily institutionalized is the single biggest reason most of the homeless populations (around here at least) refuse to seek any assistance, despite institutionalization not really being a thing around here anymore.

The voluntary aspect of this plan seems to be incredibly foolish to me, and I suspect it will not be accepted at high rates.

Here's to hoping it helps anyway, even if I am not so hopeful myself.
> And Russia would sell to China. So Germany hurts itself and Russia doesn't care

Russia would probably sell to China (not sure about the added complexity involving currencies => probably depends on the goods that Russia could buy from China), the question is probably how much of it China would buy & when (e.g. existing contracts with other parties, potential negative impact on foreign public relations, not sure if oil quality plays a role for certain types of consumptions, etc...).

Currently it looks like that Germans and probably all other european countries (why do we always end up talking only about Germany? Are other EU countries that much less relevant?) would be willing to be "hurt themselves" by paying more in/directly (I guess something similar to the whole blood-diamonds theme, but in this case it's more direct), I guess that the question is "how much more".

Maybe if most of the countries are impacted the same way and therefore there aren't major "hotspots" that would have access to a low price (and therefore boosting their lower-cost production) then the only impact would be a little bit of spread inflation?

EDIT:

forgot to mention that the price of oil from Russia "urals" is currently as well increasing, but less, as it's detaching itself from the reference "brent" ( https://ibb.co/mXGf5XX ) because of less people/companies/countries willing to buy it (because of inability to pay for it because of the various sanctions, and/or because of bad public relations that that would generate).

> To me it feels like we are racing towards a miserable stagflation environment

Please stop this. Words have meanings, and you should not misuse them just because you want to add extra emotional valence to your post. "Stagflation" is when there is inflation even though there is no growth in GDP and/or employment. Right now there are massive gains in both, and while you could make an argument that the benefits of the growth are outweighed by the inflation, it is not stagflation in any sense, nor is stagflation likely to be on the horizon (if there is a recession, the demand destruction will cool off prices, especially as covid ends and demand flows back from goods to services)

That's straight up Russian propaganda, so beware. In his ideas, a sovereign nation signing a treaty is an 'existential threat' for Russia, which of course, makes any problem in Ukraine the 'west's fault'. NATO expansion is not western imperialism, it is the result of 50 years of communist oppression and present-day anxiety of not ending up like Ukraine is right now. So, as someone who grew up in the eastern bloc, fuck Mearsheimer.

I really don’t think that’s accurate. At no previous time have huge companies like MS and Apple withdrawn from Russia. All trade except a very limited set of commodities has ended. The stock market has been closed for 5 days. The aeroflot fleet is grounded. Much if the reserves of the national bank have been frozen.

This is unprecedented and may trigger complete economic collapse.

You're correct that specialised analog companies have not done well historically. However, we don't find ourselves in exactly the same position in computer architecture/performance as we've been decades before.

There's some (relatively) new ideas that now the performance of computers will be pushed more by dedicated silicon for a dedicated purpose, and tools. See for example there's plenty of room at the top [1], or Hennesy's talk at Google [2].

This of course does not mean that analog computers are suddenly viable, but it does mean that they could potentially fill a niche where they failed previously.

Anecdotally, when looking at jobs for hardware design by the likes of Infineon, STM, Cyient etc. there seems to be a relatively high ask for (senior) analog designers, and a new focus on mixed-technology chips. It might turn out to be a dud still, but it isn't the same situation as decades before.

Standard doesn't mean good, and the sophistication to do this well is beyond most orgs and individuals . You can come up with specific scenarios, but they'll get garbled through the telephone game over time.

Much better to treat data, including secrets, as radioactive, and thus follow least priv + defense in depth. If it's never there, and better, they never got it, there's nothing to worry about

Ex: Before PII hits logs, encrypt it and don't give data scientists the key.

Ex: orgs we work with who version notebooks won't allow notebook output to be saved, and people know (+ software) to reject baked creds. Likewise, auth isn't baked generally, instead SSO.

If it's never there, for every stage, so much easier.
> The fact that recursion can compile down to iteration when written in a tail-call manner, while other languages are just providing iteration as a core part of the system, kinda implies that FP isn't "superior in the vast majority of use-cases".

I’ve worked in probably 15+ languages of all types throughout my life since Microsoft BASIC in 1984 when I was 12. If this doesn’t give me the right to assert things like this, then what does?

Perhaps the real problem is that whenever someone mentions “functional languages”, the walls go up, the ears go closed and the baseless presumption of hubris skyrockets.

The fact is that you can use a functional style (and gain the advantages) in any language https://towardsdatascience.com/why-developers-are-falling-in... , you just lose the guarantees as soon as you touch another library

> The people posting the jobs don't know the answers to the required questions.

That is a feature, not a bug: it means that candidates know that jobs they see posted on that site have actually been at least looked at by the actual team you'll work with. Filtering out jobs offers that are just HR buzzword soup would be exactly its competitive advantage over Indeed and LinkedIn job-spam.

> hoping that they can't reverse-engineer the solution before you catch up

Don't worry; they can't. Kodak couldn't even pivot to digital and they invented digital photography! Huge companies have awful, terrible, very bad, no-good software, and leadership that has no interest in ever adapting to anything. Besides, the niche is different anyway.

> "why would I feel motivated to complete a long profile when I can just spam my pre-made resume, since it will be required at some point in the future anyway."

Because you're catering to applicants who are picky about what job they're looking for. I don't just want any job -- the list of jobs I'm qualified to do is vastly, vastly larger than the list of jobs I'd ever want to do.

You're not trying to replace Indeed: you're trying to replace recruiters.
People always love to say some old lost tech is better than the modern version

But it's like, a one in a thousand shot.Almost all modern tech is better with regressions lasting a decade at most.

Occasionally there are rumors of some modern medical treatments being worse even though medicine as a whole improves, but mechanical and electrical stuff is much better understood and more controlled.

The exception is a few specific appliances that are seemingly designed to fail. Even then there's no lost tech. I'm pretty confident we could make a much better washing machine today for much less money if we tried, than anything from 30 or 50 years ago.
sure it would, it might escalate to the point we could do something about putin and get regime change. right now without more pressure ukraine will just get absorbed but if the russians lose badly people might turn on him.

There has been a rise in homelessness and people becoming disillusioned by the tethers of society, to the point that people are voluntarily retreating into cities and wildernesses to live freely off the land.

Homelessness (particularly voluntary) is an existential threat to capitalism because it reduces the productivity of the working class. This in turn diminishes the gains of the proletariat, who need workers and purchasers of their goods and services (such as houses).

The title story seems like a scary way for the system to force people into becoming productive members of society. In the system's eyes, these people are useless, unwanted wastes of space, so they are going to force them into treatment so they can "lead normal lives," a euphemism for turning them into productive cogs in the proletariat's capitalist machine.

That's a weird way to phrase it. There have been quite a few cases of people suing the USA at the ICC and winning. It's more the fact that the USA doesn't give a rats ass about decisions at the ICC. But I'm under no illusion to think that China would give a f* if someone sued them there.

It's hard to talk about international justice when USA refuses people to be tried at the ICC(like Saddam Hussein) and has a law to invade the Netherlands should an American service member be indicted[1].

It's bad because smaller companies can't compete. And many of these smaller companies do more for the community than Amazon does. Good luck calling Amazon for help with picking a sensor.

We have - I hope - now internalized as a country how wrong that viewpoint is.

I'm not sure that we have. The single most important concept of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars is the vast, yawning difference between going to war primarily to stop one organized government from attacking another and going to war to effect regime change on a country. The former is very easy to do with a powerful professional military and the latter is effectively impossible. I don't think the difference has sunk in for most Americans.

Most people still opt for block heaters in cold weather (<-20). They used to be standard on all cars sold in Canada/Alaska. I use mine when a plug is available. It keeps the engine oil from thickening, making it easier to crank the engine during start. Imho a battery heater is more effective as it increases the cranking power available to the starter. Many use both.
Thanks. I should look at the code. I thought unsigned int overflow would wrap to zero, which would still be in bounds for a nontrivial array. Maybe they’re freeing the item at that index the first time through the array or something.

I am not so sure. Think of the potential value to be unlocked: It will radically change the way real estate is planned. If cars drive themselves, you can switch over to a "Car on demand" model for most current vehicle owners. Why would you need to waste space on parking lots, single garages etc. You also unlock the ability for more people to live further away from work.

It has the potential to extract a massive amount of value out of other parts of the chain as well. Aside from software(which in my opinion is just stealing existing value from everyone else) pretty much everything else is minuscule growth. What is the next leap in maintaining growth of the economy? Extract the value out of these blue collar jobs(trucking, taxi driving, other logistics).

Combine this with the rise of simpler designs in EVs + less car ownership you also can bring in mechanics and repair into your value chain and extract that value as well.
