I'm surprised at the mention of Brazil as a future "great enemies of the rules based international order & the free world". Brazil is a very western country (although a poor one), with culture and institutions that are basically copies of various European/EUA counterparts (although not as stable/strong). It has a very liberal constitution, a very liberal "elite", and a people that looks up to USA and Europe (the left wants to become like Europe, the right like the USA, no-one wants to become Russia or China). So IF it ever grows to greatness, it will most probably be a great ally to the free world, no a great enemy.

Unfortunately the most probable scenario is that it won't achieve neither, instead it will probably crawl along in a middle ground fail to launch state, forever sort-of poor, sort-of irrelevant (but still mostly as a weak ally instead of a weak enemy).

Yes, the election of the current president temporarily pointed Brazil in a different direction (just like the Trump election in the USA), but it is just a blip that Brazil will soon leave behind (like the USA left behind the Trump presidency).

Edit: also, Brazil is 0% imperialistic, has absolutely no territorial ambitions, fairly good relations with all its neighbors. A military that is very defense/deterrence focused, with the only foreign deployments being a few official UN peacekeeping missions.
I've historically used mailjet's api for automating the sending of little emails to myself for my own personal stuff...But lately have only been using matrix. In essence i have a private room with myself and a bot, and simply send matrix messages to that room. Its pretty quick and easy, and i can access the messages from any matriux app/client anywhere that i have internet connection...and since matrix is like email in that it is federated...i'm theoretically not as impacted by cloud Saas outages...unless of course my own matrix homeserver gets hit...but then again, this is only for my personal stuff.
Or maybe it is a trap? expecting the Russians to un blur it and see the secret plans which are actually a trap for their forces. It's not unheard of.

Pick any item on their resume. Ask questions about what they wrote. If they can’t give any explanation beyond the actual wording of the item, or if their explanation is nonsense, then it’s not a good sign.

However, as a hiring manager you have to allow some slack for people to learn as they go. Otherwise you will never hire anyone.
So how much money did you donate? Was it enough compared to your income?
I guess it depends on the analogy, and whether physical location means anything for the internet. Piracy of commercial ships, for example.
>> Can light and matter be both particle and wave? Or neither? We don’t know.

But we know! The answer is neither.

Light and matter are weird things that is impossible to describe with usual language, but they can be described very precisely with math language. The problem is that the equations are too complicated and difficult to use.

They have been tested thoroughly, for example in particle accelerators but in experiments with very few things moving around. It's very difficult to use them when the experiment gets bigger.

In some cases, you can make some approximations and get almost the same result if instead of the full correct equations you use the wave equation. It's just an approximation. Light and matter are never waves, but in some case they can be approximated as waves.

In other cases, you can make some approximations and get almost the same result if instead of the full correct equations you use the particle equation. It's just an approximation. Light and matter are never particles, but in some case they can be approximated as particles.

And in other weird cases, bot approximations get very inaccurate predictions.
Administrators and researchers at a local cancer research hospital were fired for this, too. Could someone explain what the perceived harm is? I really don't understand - isn't cancer research published in accessible journals? Isn't disseminating this knowledge something we want both institutionally and personally for the researchers?

This is called drizzle (with dithering, e.g. the raw photos are taken with offsets) in the astrophotography sphere and is very effective when the images are undersampled. Although, astronomy images have the advantage of being filled with stars that are relatively easy to align very accurately.
on the other hand, an internet company playing fast and loose with EU cookie opt-outs seems so par for the course that I would take it as more suspicious if they were not?
You need runtime libraries for all compiled languages, including C.

At any rate, Java isn't a client language. It's very much geared toward server development. It's not impossible to write client software with it (see Minecraft), but it's really clunky and not really suitable. They've basically done everything they can to make it as awful as possible to use for desktop users, basically ceding the ground to C# almost more through self-sabotage than losing a fight.

I don't want to be conspiratorial, but it can be suspected Microsoft and Oracle had lunch together and came to some sort of an agreement.
It is good for that purpose if you are the recipient and know what is your carrier. But multiple recipients, not so much.

When Slack is down, Slack can't tell you when it is down. It's why status pages are often on other domains/systems etc, so the status page remains up while everything else is on fire.
It could be easily solved by the operator, but that doesn't mean it's easy for the victims to get the operators to fix their stuff. These amplifiers are already run by people who ignored the software manufacturer's directions. What are the odds they will actually install the new version that's harder to abuse?
It is pretty amazing how they managed to locate the wreck. Searching by sonar is a very time consuming activity and takes ages just to scan a very small area, with the added issues of interpreting the readings. I wonder what clues they had to narrow down the search area.

Sorry but Walmart has cameras, guards, and most importantly locked windows and doors.

Just because nobody has figured out (or bothered to invest into) building the equivalent of basic security doesn't mean it's the state's responsibility.

It is the government's responsibility to make sure companies take their responsibilities of protecting their customers' data, and the internet more broadly from the impact of the company's decisions.

It's really interesting, because I'd estimate there are 10x more programmers than "video professionals". I could be extremely wrong though.
Ask HN: Product management tips and book recommendations for startups
I'm an engineer that wants to get better at product management.

Is this the Quantum Foam wallpaper you were talking about awhile ago?

Am probably older than your Mom (an demographic/actuarial guess) and I am sorely tempted to get it. I have been team Nexus/Pixel for a decade but am miffed at the upsizing of the devices. adding 50% screen space doesn't make up for 5x diminished visual acuity. A random comment I saw somewhere about how bad CarPlay was compared to Android Auto gives me pause. I have become dependent on effortless linking of phone to car.
That is also very much a problem where states are expected to intervene.
Fun article, now I wish I could try the game out to see it all in action!
My guess is the Red Cross decided on the donation, and the CCP jumped on it, to take the credit, and deflect from their own lack of action - the announcement does appear to be from the foreign ministry.

Supporting evidence is that the amount is paltry, even insulting, as a govt donation, so either they were rushed into 'sponsoring' the existing announcement, or they are sending a message of barely even token aid.

i mean to each their own, it's to keep "non-residents" out as well. some nicer places have guards that actively look for that. and by "bustle" i mean i can walk out of my apartment 50 ft and visit whatever shops i want on the corner or what not, cars and all.

for these super-blocks you have to still walk outside of the insulated area to reach anything and during that time it is def not a city vibe.

Equal treatment of US behavior in the 1800’s to China behavior in the 2000’s under different treaties?
While your logic is solid and I do think this would be ideal I struggle to see how this would work.

Dropping bombs on a walmart store is clearly unwelcome, sending traffic to walmart's website? Much less clear. You can guess based on the traffic pattern but the only way to really know is to ask walmart if this is welcome traffic (not just a burst because some new product came out). Especially since many cases are DoS with encrypted TLS traffic that looks much like any other traffic to an outside observer.

However much of the protection is threat of retaliation ("if you drop bombs on us we will flatten your country"). So maybe that is the solution here, the government should treat these attacks as real threats and punish those responsible.
I've google a bit but couldn't find anything but universal appraisal for the book. Would you mind elaborating on which numbers changed and how did it nullify the whole point?
OK, sure, but you can look at bid/offer spreads across different market makers to get some sense of how liquid and efficient the overall market is. For GBP/USD, spreads are measured in small numbers of tenths of a penny.

Forex is essentially the largest, most liquid market there is.
There's no utopian thinking here, just a recounting of statistics. Crime is a lot lower now in the US an Europe than it was for most of the post war period. In so far as we have data, there's a lot less murder now than at any time for which we have records.

Again these are basic facts. I'm not drawing any conclusions here really.

I disagree, toppling a democracy and setting dictators and repressive regimes somewhere else is much worse than being "repressive dictators and repressive regimes" inside your own borders. Don't get me wrong, none of those options is good, but the latter at least is somewhat contained.
I think the question is about foreign government operations. If North Korean agents threw up some graffiti on a Wal-Mart and stole some soda, the private security would not be expected to handle the situation on their own. Even if the stakes seem low, that's an international incident.
If it's on a different domain and servers, I don't think it will be an issue.

If they have it on an API call to (making it up) api.slack.com/status it might very well go down when things go wrong, making it useless.

However if they physically host it elsewhere ideally on a different cloud provider, with a different domain, say, slackstatus.com/api-status that is completely separate from the actual services, which can both query the actual service with a call from outside and can be updated manually with physical persons at Slack, and the client checks that domain, I think it can work.
> some other people disagree and say you should never use `set -e` outside of development

I'm really interested. What are their arguments? And how do they handle errors?
I don't get why "lawyers getting involved" is cast as such a big deal, either in the one partner's tweet or here.

Like yeah, bringing in a lawyer can signal there's about to be a nasty fight, or if they're drastically unequal parties it's often a power move by the bigger guy.

But if (as claimed) it's for something like drafting a contract to formalize a deal that's already been negotiated to near-completion, it's a no-brainer to have one. That's a few billable hours for peace of mind that the transaction was handled thoroughly and correctly.
It’s pretty easy to agree with them on at least this point …

> We believe that the measures of indiscriminate blocking of accounts and disconnection from the communication networks only create an information vacuum for the Russians and Ukrainians themselves, depriving them of access to trustworthy information, leaving them one on one with the only source of dubious information.

This is a pretty obvious consequence of disconnecting Russia from the internet at the routing and DNS level. I support the majority of the various blocking and account disabling. But after a point it clearly crosses the line into helping the Russian government maintain their misinformation campaign and control of the population via their propaganda.
I have no doubt that people are able to see what direction their lives are going, but even in the developed world with a notionally free media they can be trivially mislead about who to blame.
How is Deutsche Welle a weird source?

> Deutsche Welle or DW is a German public, state-owned international broadcaster funded by the German federal tax budget.

Granted, "modern diplomacy" sounds a bit conspiracy leaning.

However, I think you missed my point. My point is not that Ukrainians are bad or Russians are justified. My point is that western media is making things oversimplified and polarized. Demonizing some people and cutting all support, treating others as heroes, arming them and forgetting their violations.

It's not about the % of extremists. It's that they committed several murders and went unpunished because the government / police turned a blind eye. It was convenient at the time because it silenced the pro-russian independent movements. Is that the hallmark of a western democracy?

>> Here a follow-up how life worsened under Russia's annexation of Crimea

Again, I'm not arguing being under the thumb of an autocratic regime like Russia is good for anyone. But shouldn't populations make that decision themselves? Or do we get to decide what's best for them?
They have been using the argument exclusively against opposition, whether domestic or not. So, you have Havel or other dissident complaining about what is going on in Czech Republic and Russia ... and they get response about America instead.

The Soviet regime cared about those exclusively when using them as talking point. To shut up own critics and that is it.
My website's book list is queryable via SQL
Looks like fighting the symptoms, not taking care of the root causes.

There's probably so much bloat in frameworks, (illegal) telemetry and whatnot under the hood of those apps that should be tackled.

For example: Why is the the Amazon app 229 MB heavy? 195 MB is the app itself, then there's ~61 MB of "data" and only ~26,5 MB of cache.

It's a website, nothing more. How can it take 200+ MB of space? It's sick.

edit: How does Android even calculate those numbers? They don't add up at all...

I think the frustrating reality is that it's usually not possible to tell the good from the bad at the portfolio/resume level, some kind of skills/competency test must be given.

I personally don't look at GitHub repos because I don't know how long it took to write that code. If it's great code, but took 4x to write than it should have, I wouldn't know. There are also a lot of applicants that just don't have much public in GH.

Finally, to be clear, I'm not saying they are all bad actors. I'm sure some are and the same for employers. Mostly a result of the current world economics.

In the first few sentences, they mention these things as facts. And maybe at the fifth or so, it's mentioned that "Ukrainian media reported". It's clear that they are sourcing it from Ukrainian sources, but they present them as facts too.

I'm an engineer, but my previous boss was a project manager and I learned a lot about business communication and project ownership from him. I was at a small, non-tech company and I was frequently the point of contact with clients (aka colleagues on other teams), and my boss and I chatted about project management situations and he helped me navigate a few tricky scenarios (i.e. with difficult colleagues) a few times.

I have a Google Doc of a list of talks that I've had with him (and some other people at my company) in which I learned something.

Here's a few examples:

---

Me: Suppose the client did have a request that was impossible to do. How do you approach situations like that and give them an answer that doesn't make it seem like you're BS-ing them?

S: Something along the lines of: 'Due to the way the system is currently built, it may not be possible to fulfill your request exactly as your proposed. Just to be sure, I’ll take this back to our tech team (Adam/Bob/Chris) to see if there is a possibility to implement the changes or explore other alternatives and options. I'll follow up with our findings once we have our discussions.'

- Never tell the client "no." If you do, they can easily go to another person/team.

- Clients like hearing "I'll take this back to our tech team", because you're saying that you have 'better/more knowledgable' resources you can turn to.

---

Scenario A:

Client: There's no rush.

(later on)

Client: Where's X? Why isn't it done?

(Instead, do this)

Scenario B:

Client: There’s no rush.

Me: Did you have a due date in mind?

Client: I’m not sure.

Me: Okay, how does this date sound:

- Setting a concrete date/range makes it so the client can't pull a "Why isn't X done" on you
Just knowing about services like PC Part Picker and the management tools you mention requires time and expertise that people generally do not have before they build a computer, so "no real extra time investment" may only be true for someone who can amortize those upfront costs across many builds.

In my case I have built a couple PCs before, but it was so long ago that I'd have to re-learn which retailers are trustworthy, what the new connection standards are these days, etc. It's just not worth it to me to spend a dozen hours learning, specing, ordering, assembling, installing, configuring, etc to save a few hundred bucks.
Yes, it is sad, but I wouldn't go as far as OP to claim that Linux desktop "is failing". That would be the case only if the goal of desktop Linux was to "get a considerably large market share". When I am contributing to FOSS, what I care about is that I improve it for whoever is using it now - maybe it is just 5 people in the whole world, that is fine. Sure I would _like_ if it was 5 thousand, and I will try my best to ensure that, but that is an extra, not the end goal.
