Most of mine are one-time use or limited use. I have a few ongoing dev projects for personal use:

- My smaller blog is a (poorly) written CMS that makes a static site. Almost zero reason other than I wanted the experience of building my own CMS, could easily use another tool.

- I have a 'Pick'em' with friends for MLS soccer. It's a fully coded website, definitely my biggest ongoing project.

- I have a tool which looks at upcoming soccer games around the world and recommends the best ones to watch (looking at a number of variables such as relative ranking in the league, historic goals for and against, gambling odds, etc.)

- I have a weight and body fat tracker I use to enter my daily weigh in and see graphs and charts of my progress.

There are lots of spiders in the Bay Area, including here in SF. But definitely fewer of other insects compared to other places I've lived.

I think it is partially the cool weather that slows them down and the long dry season. It seems especially hard on the typical flying insects that tend to annoy people. Most of the insect life I've seen prefers to root around deep in the topsoil where it is presumably warmer and not as dry.
Is it Russians, or their government? This distinction matters, most of us who live in the US or Europe would also personal responsibility for war crimes by this standard.

"Invasive" is mostly a matter of perspective.

By far the most successful invasive arthropod in the Nearctic is the European honeybee, but you never really hear anyone talk about the considerable ecological harm those do, for the obvious reason that their agricultural and thus economic utility is considered far to outweigh the externalities of their cultivation.

> If most would object you would see millions in streets, not few thousands.

Not when the consequence of that is being beaten up, tortured, and then put in prison for up to 15 years (as per the recent law changes). Oh, and getting your relatives punished as well, despite them having nothing to do with it. Here is a take on it from Human Rights Watch[0]. Just the knowledge of such consequences makes a person just shut down, carry on, and not worry much about anything except your own and your family's survival.

Side-tangent: sometimes I really do wonder what kind of cushy and sheltered lives some users on HN live, where they instantly jump to "if people don't protest in millions, it means they support Putin". I think I am pretty comfortable now, but I still very clearly remember what it was like living in Russia (before I escaped to the US over a decade ago), so these types of replies grind me the wrong type of way.

And yes, there are plenty of people who actually support Putin in Russia, and we need them on our side. Some support him out of ignorance, some for other reasons. But, I think, it is a bit less surprising if you phrase it as "Plenty of Russian people supported the special operation for liberating people in Ukraine". It is a blatant lie, but more and more people in Russia are opening their eyes to this being total bs. Sanctions help, outside news drumming up the reporting of the conflict help.

On their own, those things don't seem that wild, but if you couple total brainwashing with extremely severe and brutal consequence for even questioning the narrative, you get an extremely repressed population that will be heavily discouraged (even within their own heads) from protesting.

I agree, and I support most of the sanctions and business withdrawals, especially when there is personnel and tax payed in Russia, but again as an example, if you are Russian opposition, you don't want to be hosted in Russia, as the hoster will take you down on government request, so you have to be hosted abroad. And now if the west just decides to terminate every contract from a Russian citizen, I'd say that'll hurt more the enemies of the government than not. But it's just my opinion, and you can't expect every business to make that kind of analysis.

Change is inevitable... and in the past I used nostalgia as a mental point of origin to judge situations today. However I've come to see that change creates both negative and positive opportunity but it's just a matter of perspective.

From your other comment, it looks like you're part of that minority. Like I said, my comment is anecdotal, but go work at a non top-tier university and try to recruit graduate students and then see if you still feel the same way.
That's what I'm wondering, too, right now.

It's trivial to DoS-hang redis with the script feature (and SCRIPT KILL won't help).

And I found at least 3 DoS-crash, because it hasn't backported fixes to its copy of Lua 5.1.5 (but Debian's liblua 5.1 might -- I haven't checked).

And that's without even exploring the really problematic builtins it still has available.

Maybe they should instead clarify their security guarantee for redis scripting (e.g. "none").
Worth mentioning is that it is very young spiderlings, not adults, who engage in "ballooning" to disperse from their natal web.

I've known a couple of pretty good recruiters (and a lot of lousy ones) over the years. The biggest thing not usually discussed is that the recruiting industry resembles industries like real estate agents and sales. It's an extremely high-churn, revolving door, of mostly young people with no prior experience, themselves being recruited by agencies to do recruiting. And what happens is, generally, over time the good ones will stick around and will do actual recruiting for maybe 2-5 years or so and after that, generally, will lead (and/or manage) a team of recruiters of a book of business (aka a basket of clients or a region or an industry) and will stop doing individual recruiting pure-play by themselves. Some will also leave an agency and then go to do internal recruiting/HR for a specific company, too.

This isn't true, of course, for ALL recruiters, but definitely most. So as you can see, the only downside of finding a really good recruiter is that because they are good, they won't necessarily stay an individual recruiter forever. And the bad ones? Well, they churn and burn out relatively quickly.
I also have a rocketbook but don't use the OCR that much; my type of note taking / scribble doesn't need to be archived.
However it is considerably easier to erase a big surface compared to regular notebook; easier even than the other (whiteboard-like) erasable notebook based on the Staedtler Lumocolor 305 pen (Bambook / Esquoia / Whynote). The writing feeling is also better.
The US wants Russia to stop trying to attack and annex its neighbors, including Ukraine.

My understanding is that Putin can't stop the invasion of Ukraine without looking so weak that he is liable to be immediately pushed out of power (with a decent chance of the subsequent regime coming up with some reason to execute him, as he would remain a threat to the new regime).

The result is that while the US does not necessarily want a Russian regime change per se (after all, who is to say that the next regime won't be worse), one is pretty much a practical requirement to archive what they do want.

The difference is that Target is a retail store, not a marketplace. Target has already bought your products from you when Target sells them to customers, and aggregates data about its own sales of your products.

Amazon is a marketplace, and pays nothing to buy your products when they're offered for sale on its virtual shelves. It purports to provide an open and equal common area for companies (including itself) to sell products, yet only Amazon has access to the treasure trove of data about the behavior of consumers on its site.

What's the real-life case where hello world fails because the file system is full?

You could do all kinds of things that would cause hello world to "fail". A broken monitor (or even one unplugged) wouldn't show "hello world" or give any indication of an error too, but it's hardly the codes fault. The code does what it's supposed to and ignores all kinds of other things that could go horribly wrong. That's not really a bug, just a known and expected limitation of the program's scope.
Annual checkups are just that.
1) Body weight measurements.
2) The doctor talking to you about whether you have any medical or life concerns.
3) The doctor sharing advice on diet improvements, smoking improvements, exercise plans, including providing resources for them.
4) Recommended screenings based on age.
5) 1-2 vials of blood to get basic health information such as glucose levels, vitamin levels, etc.
6) Urine samples are only required if you're sexually active with multiple partners to screen for STDs and is completely optional.

That's been my experience. Through the annual physical I've been able to handle several minor issues, which have materially improved my life, and identified a major diagnosis that goes undiagnosed in the majority of people throughout their lives, and leads to them living significantly worse lives than they would have otherwise. By identifying it early, I have a chance for a much better lifestyle, and reducing the odds of an early death greatly.

And even after they did all that, they still had a big problem, just out of phase from everybody else, and they didn't have any natural immunity protection.

I can't wait for the conclusions in 10 years that are based on much less heated analyses. People will probably finally agree that island nations that have high levels of adherence to health edicts can forestall massive outbreaks, at least temporarily, but that is not a strategy that extends outside of those situations.
The solution to russel's paradox is that sets can not contain themselves. There is a carefully crafted set of rules describing what sorts of sets exist, and it is designed to avoid paradoxes such as that one. These rules are the ZFC axioms (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Zermelo-FraenkelAxioms.html)

This makes a stronger summary of just what Russia has done and how it's blowing up the post-WW2 era and U.N. system.

But anyway, I completely support the U.N. General Assembly coming to this conclusion - i.e. there should be a NFZ, and then start with it being self-enforced by Russia. If the U.N. can't be more relevant and convincing than becoming a nuclear armed country to deter aggressive war like this, then the post-world-war institutions are lost. And that means WW3 is pretty much inevitable because the whole point of the U.N. is to prevent world wars.

So yeah, let them be relevant, if they can be. Even better if they can find a way to enforce it somehow that doesn't trigger a NATO article 5 response, i.e. WW3 happens anyway. Pretty much most of the roads lead to WW3 at this point, the trick is figuring out which one(s) don't.

Note that this has no chance in the Security Council where Russia as a permanent member has a veto.

Offtopic but I have to ask now that this came up, why do people even use enums instead of string literal type unions? The latter just seems so much simpler and more readable to me. You get the same type safety, pretty much the same or better performance, autocomplete works fine etc.

One reason I've heard is that enums allow you to do rename symbol refactoring in all use sites, but like what
How often do you need to do that? Once in a lifetime? Twice? And with string unions you can ofcourse also just rename it, TS will tell all the places that need fixing, and it'll take couple hours to go though 1000+ usages of it.
"What people die of" seems like the sort of question the medical community should be quite good at answering.

People are waiting for human heart transplants and dying from the wait. I don't think there will be a shortage of patients who we can ethically treat whilst researching this new technique. It certainly isn't binary with a hard "sensitive line".
> For better or for worse, features of TypeScript that generate code (like enums) are generally considered a mistake.

Considered a mistake by whom? they are valid Typescript.

It's just creating yet another flavor of Typescript... and why straight out adopt that type syntax? Because it will please Typescript developers and Microsoft?

All for what? being able to run that flavor of typescript without having to compile typescript files into Javascript? It would change nothing to the already complex build pipelines JS developers are already mandated to use for production.

I agree with the parent, this is a bad proposal.

What Typescript should do as an alternative is better support for JSDoc type analysis. I don't use typescript language, however I do use typescript compiler.

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/jsdoc-supported...

Does it defeat the purpose of typescript? No, typescript is both a language AND a JavaScript static type analyzer.
