That treaty bound Russia to "respect the sovereignty of Ukraine, honor its legislation and preclude interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine" and, furthermore, Russian military personnel had to show their "military identification cards" when crossing the Ukrainian-Russian border; Russian forces could operate "beyond their deployment sites" only after "coordination with the competent agencies of Ukraine."

Sending in masked troops without insignia to overthrow Crimea's Supreme Council, install a Russian puppet government and run a farcical independence referendum is as far as you can get from following the terms of that treaty.
Reminds me of "Project Thor" from my university days. Course registrations were online, but in phases, e.g. Seniors for a week, then Juniors for a week, and so down the line.

However, many students would snag a spot in a course only to drop it as they shuffled courses around. There existed a "queue" for the overflow, but it appeared to work as a CRON job or otherwise involved a human in the loop as one would routinely see:

Spanish 102 (Registered: (29/30), Queued:(60))

While in this state, one could simply click on the course and register, completely bypassing this poorly designed queue. So, naturally, I wrote a script to scrape the site on once a minute (hammering it, and so Project Thor) and alert me once a slot had opened up. Eventually provided this service to my friends as well.
Fines against individuals, with a prohibition on further compensation/employment by the company/organization would likely be sufficient to discourage this behavior. There is widespread disagreement as to whether prison should be used as a punitive tool, and it would serve no other purpose in a case like this.

Corporate fines seem ineffective and almost useless , especially because these sorts of actions will often benefit the individuals undertaking them (principal agent problem). I suspect the motivation behind corporate fines is that they can be large monetary amounts, and look good for the investigator/agent/attorney.
Ask HN: Has anyone else had a problem navigating TRUTH SOCIAL?
Is there a users guide available? I am well versed in Social Media Sites, but even so I find the lack of intuitivity cumbersome. A flow chart would be helpful as would a video presentation of how to use the site.

So far this site has been “All sizzle and no steak” and by that, to me it seems to have all the intimacy of being one of many at a virtual rally instead of mirroring the experience of attending one live where you can share information with people that you can make soft contact with. I am following 1000 people, strangers all, because there is no way to search for and find any of my contacts. As for it not being censored I understand that it is in fear that Apple will remove their APP.

Would reproraming it be an option?

> For example, many operations (bpy.ops) require an accurate "context" to succeed.

The bpy.ops are really just a python shim to be able to call them from the UI.

Not a good idea to call them from a script (because of the reasons you cited) but that hasn’t stopped anyone, ever. The whole of blender is designed around the MVC model and the operators are the ‘control’ and are dependent on the ‘view’ (aka context) to do their thing.

All the underlying data structures should be exposed to the python API (through bpy.data IIRC) so, in theory, one could do whatever their little heart desires.

Weird design but once you realize the UI runs everything through python it mostly makes sense.

Realistically, there is not much impact us little humans can have. The options are to donate to humanitarian organizations working there, vote for a government that's going to intervene, or volunteer as a soldier. I'm not eligible to vote, I would never be a capable soldier, but I did donate.

The idea is that even if terrible things are happening, and you are anxious for what's next, you have to look in front of you, and see what you can do different right now. To a large extent this conflict is outside our hands, and we should prepare accordingly.

My plea to you is to please donate to the red cross in Ukraine :)
My friend invited me out to karaoke, but most of the songs I know aren't popular enough to be in karaoke systems. It turns out that the local karaoke place has a song database that serves queries formatted as a URL parameter, so I wrote a script to query it for every artist I've listened to on Last.FM. I found out that Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden are surprisingly good picks for karaoke! There were also a few singles I didn't expect from Children of Bodom and Arch Enemy. https://github.com/vermarish/karaoke-sign-in
I am afraid of Russia.

Who isn't afraid of a corrupt super-oligarch that seems to have the authority to kill tens of thousands at a whim with his nation-state army and doesn't answer to nobody?

Nevermind the nuclear button!

I think being a Russophobe is the only rational stance.
It would be great to have industry-recognized, concise terms for this kind of situation ("project is (FL)OSS, but contains proprietary machine learning").

For deployment of services we have "self-hosted", "cloud" and "on-prem", for example.

For ML-based projects could we have something like "teachable" (as in you can "raise" the model the way you would like to) vs "pre-directed"?

(it's been a long day; these probably aren't the neatest suggestions)
Ukraine's first-lady, says Russia is waging mass-Murder of Civilians
I will weight in as somebody who had aspirations for a career in semiconductors more than a decade ago.

Taiwan, and Asian semi ecosystem at large is unique, and irreplaceable, and not only TSMC as such.

The fall of Taiwan will be:

1. Loss of unique, black box knowhow which people never put into any patents

2. Loss of single source consumables - a lot of chemical industry, metallurgy, plastic, machinery all exclusively used only by semi industry

3. Loss of 80% of world's semi workforce, both brains, and hands

4. Loss of services companies, and big part of the ecosystem supporting the fabs, like semiconductor logistics

5. Loss of unique semi equipment makers, not on the level of losing the crown jewel (steppers,) but nevertheless making it instantly impossible to build any new fab line until a replacement is redeveloped from scratch. People who say that Taiwan is not big in semi tool making don't have an idea.

So if you completely erase this part of the world, the maximum the world can hope for within 5 years is just to restore functioning of a single pre-existing fab per country.

All its outputs will be no doubt be only used for defence electronics.

In other words Facebook, Amazon, Google, and all tech industry all bye bye. Modern "disposable electronics" barely lasts 2-3 years.

South Korea, or Japan will be there first, and they will demand The King's Ransom for fab access.

The first new fabs built from scratch will only be possible to make in 7-9 years term, using eighties era technology, and that is if the war will end quickly.

But if they happen to see them on your desk they could start changing their grades. Though I suppose high schoolers are less likely to bring every grade home.
There are ways to deliver propaganda without the internet (television, lessons in schools - it is being heavily used right now), but there are no ways to spread the real information without Internet access.
Kindness needs its own economy
We can never have more of kindness. Yet we don't have it enough. Just saying "I appreciate you", is the most simple act of kindness. What if you could send a visual story one on one to someone and get incentivized for it??
I put my s7 face down in snow and it took 24hrs or so to accept a charger. Thought the port was dead. Wireless charging could be good in that regard.
Thanks for the feedback here.

I totally understand the "set up a call" frustration. Since we just launched, we really want to talk to users or potential users and learn more about their use-cases. We manually onboarded our first customers (emailing snippets, etc) and learned so much about their needs and painpoints, we wanted to keep that going for a while as we grow.
> During the Iraq War America was firing missiles from ships.

Sure; those aren't smart bombs.

> Why would the Russians not fire such missiles?

They would and are (using cruise missiles; not sure the mix of land/air/sea launched.) They are also doing aerial bombing. Stopping the latter doesn't increase the capacity of the former to compensate.
I totally agree with you. I use the python API in Blender to make some renderings of mechanical connections we are developing. As a python expert I am always a bit disoriented by how things should be handled. It would be really great if the python API could get some love in the future.
Not change your whole like in a drastic manner, but maybe at least live in the 3rd world for a significant amount of time- should be enough of an eye-opener for a lot of people.
Why would a fortnite skin become high status? Aren’t they all available in unlimited quantity for a fairly standard price? That sounds like the opposite of scarcity. If something is popular then it will be the most common and thus the least interesting.

Surely you’re not saying people buy skins because they might turn out to be unpopular and thus cool to wear…

I’m sure there’s a niche culture around always buying the absolute latest piece, but that’s not the fear of missing out and would exist even if everything was always available?
In the context of the server market of course you're right. But the idea that it's a given that AMD, Intel have similar PPW chips on the way still using the x86 architecture, is not correct. There's going to be more to it than node size.

> It doesn’t matter where the expression is placed, it’s the same if you assign it to a variable

If you separate the concern of the condition definition from the conditional rendering, by pulling the conditional’s definition into a variable, you do get enhanced portability, though.

Much easier to port between languages and frameworks if your conditional definition can be copy-and-pasted out without having to mess with untwining the previous developers expression statements.

If the idea is to stop some sort of massed emailing or posting or whatnot, using TOTP as a requirement to take those actions would slow that down to once every 30 seconds-

if it's a matter of access and authentic access(as Microsoft's 'message' when they lock you out notes<suspicious activity>)) TOTP on actions a user may do, should cut down on the idea that an account is hacked.

An initial idea -

If they are worried about account creation being too fast, I suppose one idea then would be a TOTP client-side program that generates a unique account-generation code, one would need to create an account on a service to begin with- and time limit that from both sides, if the worry is a lot of accounts being generated in too short a time.
This way, one can always kill the client code generator, and reinstall it, but overall that doesn't get around the fact you need that to make a full account on the service, and this would slow down creation from someone while not using phone numbers or other meta-data that would be usable against them from a privacy perspective.

I would also look at how the teams from Signal, etc- are tackling that while reducing meta-data

if the idea is indeed about having some method to track the user in a way you can discover other info about them through subsequent means directly, then that's ...what we'd want to avoid.
Just make sure your notebooks don't get too hot.
Because cruise missiles are multi-million dollar weapons [1] and Russian is hemorrhaging money at the moment.

The whole article is a bit tongue-in-cheek, with it's references to "terrifying" even though it also says they're harmless. And the end, where he says to build a dome over GA now before it's too late, etc. I laughed out loud a little at that last bit.

So I think the plague reference was meant as another way to exaggerate the severity of the situation for humorous effect. That was my take anyway.
There are always rewards for unethical behaviors, which is why people engage in them. This is true whether the framework is communism, capitalism, or marriage.
I would seriously love to read a detailed case study on this.
Since you asked weird tips, here are mine:

1. Video games are better than movies. When I played video games, I ate less snacks. Lately, I watch movies/shows with my SO, and end up gaining weight. But every once in a while I get a new game and every single time I end up losing weight until I beat that game.

2. Avoid unfit people. I have friends who worship food and alcohol, some of them are naturally skinny, so don't look unhealthy. But whenever I hangout with them for multiple days in a row, I end up gaining a few pounds.

3. And on other side of coin, seek environments with healthy people. When I was single, I spent a lot of time in gyms, coffee shops, chipotle, whole foods, etc mostly looking for a fit companion. As a video gamer, I never considered myself as a healthy person but slowly my identity changed and I became a healthy person.

While it's not really a tool for precision modelling you can get the objects to real world size by setting the coordinate space and units to your scale. I've modelled the house I'm building in Blender, put it on a real scale and size plot of land oriented against true north. There's even a built in plugin to model sun position based on time and coordinates, it's been mind blowing to be able to see how the shades will change through the windows and how another building will (or not) block the sun during different months.

I've tried FreeCAD for precision modelling like house plans but it was just painful to use, especially compared to AutoCAD which is super good and the snapping is unlike anything I've seen, but sadly prohibitively expensive for non professional use. Their cheapest plan is something like $200/mo.
Sounds like a proper egomaniac and possible bullshit-artist. The remaining question is, how do you react if you are hired and asked to do something below your level?
id love to get their honest opinion on the 'no hard feelings' part
Knowing who owns what data wasn't Itanium's issue. It was that the compiler was expected to manage the pipeline ahead of time using static analysis when dynamic analysis is required for best performance. Speculative execution (ignoring the issues of Spectre/Meltdown) is a much better model than what the Itanium and Mill require. It's impossible to know ahead of time all the possible states of an arbitrary program. Because of that, branch predictors are still king.
It's not about the inconvenience at all.
Yep I agree. For me I'm mid-level so it's not like I'm super specialized although my team is smaller than needed because labor market is hot.

Maybeeee if you're like high up two weeks might be too quick and you need an actual transition plan of some kind.

I'd rather take those extra weeks and put them into a real vacation to combat burnout.

Right, but when you don't know the dog's breed (i.e. it's 17 types of cross-breeds) nor its history (if it's gonna have PTSD from being abused or fighting for its life in the streets), it's a much safer bet to get a purebred or simple/common cross of 2 breeds where you can Google the general behaviours of those types of dogs, and you know its entire history of life up to that point: being born, then laying around with its siblings and mom
Sanctions targeted at the leaders making the decisions in Russia seem war-crime-critical. Indiscriminately screwing over random citizens who may not even support the regime or war isn't war-crime-critical.
> I humbly disagree. Experience means nothing.

Disagreeing with social norms doesn't strike me as humble.

I didn't say anything about whether experience was important. What I said was "these words are used to describe years of experience, and people trying to use them to describe skillset are making an error."

Most of the resume is about skillset. Why try to make this about skillset too? You've got entire lists of your specific skills, plus your jobs where and how they were applied.

To me, this seems like saying "no, college degree means I have the skills, skills are more relevant than education, I didn't actually get the degree but I have the skills, so I can wear the title"

Except that phrase doesn't mean "skilled," it means "years of experience," just like a degree doesn't mean skilled.

The reason we in hiring want to know how many years someone has under their belt is:

1) Everyone who's been in the job two years thinks they're the smartest and most motivated and that means they're just as good as everyone above them, and

2) Very little about seniority is actually about skillset. It's mostly about being able to define work, to be dependable, and to be able to clearly communicate expectations

.

> There is no industry-wide agreement what senior engineer is.

There doesn't need to be. This is nationwide, across industries, and a matter of law for government jobs. Agreement, by industry or individual, isn't relevant.

This would be like asserting that there's no industry-wide agreement on what age of employment is. There doesn't need to be; we have society for that.

You can crack any HR college textbook and look this up. These words have meanings, regardless of whether you imagine an industry wide agreement exists.

What use does a word like "senior" have if it means something different company to company? What's it even there for, at that point? In hiring someone, what do I learn from "oh well they performed at that company's senior level?" Do you think I know what every company individually defines that word to mean? Who is gaining calibration there?
Spent many an hour digging through the source code to figure out what a particular button did…
I think the only rational way to communicate with the Russian political elite is to assume everything is a lie and only look at hard facts like the actions taken, the incentives at play etc., kind of like in those game-theory experiments, where you cannot trust your counterpart but have to interact with him.

Hilarious really, if it weren't for people dying.
I agree with you @justin_oaks. I overly simplified that point.
My main point is that learning should be as comprehensive as possible. Learn what your tools can do, then apply that to the problem, realizing that multiple approaches are possible. Know the tools well. It does not matter so much how you get there.

I've worked with engineers that do things a certain way because this is what they learned at some point, or saw, or googled. I show them "did you know you could just do this", and they are blown away. I too am blown away that they don't even know the capabilities of a language they have been using for years in some cases.
I have no knowledge of stablecoins. But are my savings secured? As in if the bank breaks down, becomes insolvent and dissolved my money is still backed by the government and I will not loose a dime?

Else I don't care about 0.03% or 7 to 10%.

Regardless of me thinking that a growth economy is eating the planet. When it comes toy savings I am more conservative as a mythical pope mixed with Ronald Reagan. I don't care about it growing. I care about it not vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Everything else is just playmoney. No problem if I loose it or use it to light a fire in my fireplace at home. Just printed paper (virtual) that I can spend for whatever.

Having known journalists, I think it's better to apply Hanlon's razor. Most articles are likely to be being written from some office in London by people who have no direct experience with the issue in question, and the primary metrics they'll be optimising for will be page views.

For example, a writer for the Express won't write an article about how the British Empire screwed India because it will annoy the readership. It's not propaganda, it's people who don't know what they're talking about desperately fighting over shrinking advertising revenue.

Something went wrong here. The price of the house should have been raised until only 1 person wanted to buy it. If you're first in line, the incentive is to sell it at a higher price to the person who's second in line, right?

I have to imagine some sort of regulatory thing was going on here, like they have to provide X% of units at Y% of market rate in order to get some tax concession or something.

I know there's not going to be a lot of sympathy for higher housing prices here, but it does feel like something went wrong in this specific case.
