As the WSJ article correctly points out, China immediately tried to caution the Russians in their invasion, China also never recognized the peoples republics of Luhansk and Donetzk, and didn't even accept Russia's annexation of Crimea. In the UN, China and others abstained instead of voting with Russia, and China on multiple occasions stressed the independence and importance of territorial integrity of Ukraine. It is still curious how vocal they were on sino-russian friendship in the lead up to the invasion, and how, according to US intelligence, China asked Russia to delay their invasion until after the Olympics.

A maybe reasonable guess would be that they, too, expected this war to be over before any large response from the West could be mustered. Then the whole thing would be out of the news-cycle relatively quickly, and while Russia would still be hit with harsh sanctions, China would have a) a russian economy even more dependent on them and b) a blueprint for what to expect in the case of war with Taiwan.

China's stance since the invasion isn't really unique though; India, Brazil, Vietnam and quite a few others also chose to abstain from the UN motion to condemn the invasion and call for an immediate ceasefire. - In fact, countries "representing" more than half the global population abstained. These countries also try to balance their response, while being pressured to show solidarity with Ukraine by their population internally.
There are plenty of companies at which the senior engineering talent would very easily be outperformed by new graduates at FAANG. So calling their references to ask what their title was does nothing to verify their technical abilities.

Source: I am FAANG ATM and the new grads I work with outperform 10+ year tenured engineers at other companies I have worked at.
Is gaming bad on Mac? Honest question because I have no need for high end performance for gaming. If it can run Path of Exile well enough to burn an hour or two here and there, it would be enough.
My site blocks tor nodes not because I hate privacy, but because the overwhelming majority of spammy / abusive content was posted over the tor network, and blocking tor improved the signal:noise ratio better than the best anti-spam tools :/
I think this only works if both parties have similar financial situations? ie if the shares are "truly" worth 50K but one party can only come up with 10K, then an offer of 11K would allow the other to buy up the shares at a massive discount?
Do you guys know if I connect two of the Studio Display will the speakers work as a stereo audio system.
That makes sense. So is this only for edge compute use cases, or can I use tensil on an FPGA I have running in my data centre?

Tron founder Justin Sun and his many escapes
Getting the most out of product discovery
Kotlin is nice, but setting up the build system can be a bit clunky, stack traces aren't quite as clear, it's more of a moving target, and important things like record classes are making it into Java. I tried it, but realized the code ended up being similar, just with less boilerplate, and switched back to Java. I feel like Scala went through a similar lifecycle. It looked amazing, supported lots of coding paradigms, but had a lousy build system. Once Java added lambdas, it was good enough, and Scala wasn't worth the hassle. Also, remember Groovy?
Where do you get 50% from? Thought he only wanted to retain 5%?
Yup. Churn is so high in dev roles.

You see the one or two leads who stay while a never ending list of mid to senior folks trickle in and out of companies.
I think they will play the hand as dealt but I don't think the conflict is worth it to them overall. There has already been a record sell-off in Chinese government debt the past few weeks.

This is such a fragile time after 2 years of COVID for the global economy. Even the Belt and Road countries being dragged down with Russia can't be worth it to them.

Not to mention they have their own economic/banking issues that they were probably hoping for a strong global recovery to help out with.
People keep saying this but everywhere I go I still see city taxis operating with radio/telephone systems that plus the usual black car airport/limo services. They still have their piece of the market where they still provide value. The death of the incumbents seems to be a bit oversold but regardless competition is not the problem here.
What I mean is if we ask them to spend no more than 1hr on a ToDo app, I’ve seen people spend 1hr on the folder structure, importing a ton of packages, abstracting logic, etc. and don’t build the basic CRUD functions.

So you basically end up with a giant empty shell of a project.
>Experience means nothing

I disagree with this: In my 20 years of Software Engineering, I've seen plenty of super smart, knowledgeable and enthusiastic Junior and mid level engineers making wrong decisions that "in theory " look right because they just haven't seen enough production systems.

Battle scars are quite valuable, particularly when shit hits the fan and you gotta draw from your previous experience to understand what REALLY is happening in very short time.

As a specific example, in a previous startup 8 years ago, we were 3 engineers. Two of us had good field experience and the other guy had outstanding academic/algorithmic skills (he won several algorithm competitions). At some point some crap happened to production systems. When the 3 of us saw the logs, he suggested a couple of root causes that just were not really probable. The other engineer and I could "read between the log lines" and got to the real cause pretty fast.
Ask HN: What happens if TSMC is destroyed?
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a lot of people are thinking about supply chains, especially when those chains are rooted in a hostile foreign country.

What happens (to the US, EU, or whatever else you might have insight on) if TSMC is destroyed, say during a Chinese invasion of Taiwan? Are we facing a "1-year supply shortage while companies retool to US/EU fabs", or "nobody gets new electronics/cars for 5 years while whole chips are designed and fabbed, and their containing systems completely reworked"?

My current working hypothesis: the former case sounds inconvenient - the latter sounds like it would cause riots in at least some countries (most notably the US with our electronics addiction and high silicon-per-capita ratio).

However, I have very little experience with electronics design or semiconductor logistics. I know that there are a few silicon wizards floating around - any projections on the above?
Smaller portions
If that is how you feel about the US motivations and results, then I don't think we will be able to see eye-to-eye on these more specific issue.

I have a much more cynical view of US military interventions, in which they are largely self serving. The ideas of freedom, independence, and stability are platitudes to sell the war, are rarely align with the outcomes for the people in those countries.

The US did a good job of building liberal democracies after WWII, and perhaps up to the Vietnam war. If you look at countries in the last 50 years, the outcomes for the countries the US went into is quite poor.
Shocked no one complained about the fact that you have to give them your email or phone number to get any more information from the hn specific landing page. Pathetic for a company that claims to "transition seamlessly" from marketing to product. I'm already never going to use it.
Ok but now, what feels like a 100 years later, they don't anymore. It's just another data point to identify users and sell that information eventually.
It depends.

Some employers seemed to be in denial about the change.

Other lean in and address the elephant in the room.

But it shouldn't be a drastic load increase. You're still an employee and a human being.

Nicotine also works well as an appetite suppressant.
Google knows how many installs you have. I think once an app crosses some threshold, the app requirements should be stricter. If you have 100 million installs, then you better be able to justify the resource requirements of your app. 100 MB of bloat might not seem like much individually, but multiply that by 100 million and it adds up.

Can VCs not profit share to hedge their bets to get an X multiple on their investment back too? Sure some won't be profitable but if I was to invest I'd want some way of recouping my investment back over time and then the upside of a sale/IPO.

But they did keep the plant open after the accident. That might be what GP was thinking.
Not leaving room for nuance is bullshit. As an example, for manufacturing engineering, "1 + 2 = 4" may be well within the tolerances. So, it being bullshit depends on the error bars (I get it, some people don't believe in the existence of error bars)
You may have missed the part that the cost per capita is higher in the US for a worse outcome. The US is not a low-tax country in spite of the fact that the government provides fewer services than in Europe.
The Russian army has interest in harming their families in order to achieve their political goals, that include harming their families further.

I also need to remind you, that even Ukraine's combatants that would be deemed non-civilians were forced to fight by the invasion, and are therefore also innocent, and are also "families".
>All you have to do to be indistinguishable from someone who knows what they are talking about in two interviews is to say the things that someone who knows what they are talking about would say, in the way that they would say them.

Sounds like a supervillain or something. Maybe you're asking the wrong questions or maybe I have a knack for it, but the only thing I can't detect is motivation, which is probably more important than current ability. One of my worst hires was a guy who could answer all the trivia; sharp as a tack, but didn't have the discipline to do the work. He was always slacking and I couldn't count on him to get things done, even with loose deadlines.

I mean most hiring managers don't bother calling references either. That yields a lot of insight; those references were hand picked by the candidate. Maybe call their last employer, even if it wasn't listed as a reference.

One of my first questions is, "Tell me about your favorite project and why." If they answer in a sentence or two, even when prodded or show little or no enthusiasm, it's a pass. You have to like the work to be good at it. Ask some follow up questions to their answer. A phony can only go so deep.

Second question is, "Tell me about your least favorite project and why."

Take home, paid, self-regulated. Asked that they only spend 1 continuous hour (verified by initial and final GitHub commits).
C/C++ basically do only exactly what you tell them and nothing more, which is why they're so much faster than other languages.

There's no garbage collection/reference counting/etc. going on in the background. Objects aren't going to be moved around unless you explicitly move them around (Enjoy your heap fragmentation!). In C, you don't even get exceptions.

Of course, this creates TONS of foot-guns. Buffer overflows, unchecked errors, memory leaks, etc. A modern language won't have these, except for memory leaks, but they're much less likely to happen in trivial to moderate complexity apps.
While your job at Meta might go away its much less likely to go away than a job at Sliceline.

There is risk with all jobs but how many mass layoffs of eng have FAANG companies done in the last ten years? How many start ups have shut down in the last 10 years?
I had a pretty similar experience while going through a series of interviews at the beginning of last year. The way to really get your compensation up is to do as the article suggests and interview many places in parallel. Then negotiate offers to get what you want.

I found I don't actually like take home interviews, I work as a mobile engineer so it's often the same take home, a list of stuff retrieved a back-end and then rendered in a list on screen. Selecting a list item should open up a details page. While the take home is never particularly difficult, the boundaries of the task are often not set clearly. So it's easy for that 4 hours to extend to a whole weekend to make sure all the latest patterns, and trendy libraries are used.
Annoyingly on a few occasions after sinking a weekend into a project, I have had an auto-reject with no feedback. That soured me on them. I have put a few hundred leetcode practice problems over the years and can discuss mobile system design pretty extensively, i'd rather interview that way in future.

I usually switch from 'work' to 'dumping everything in my head that I haven't already documented in to a doc'. I've never really been sure if anyone ever reads the doc. I guess that means I stop working.

EDIT: You're on day 4 with 6 more to go, so that means you're giving 10 days notice? My current contract says I need to give 3 months. Most roles prior to that have been 4 weeks. What sort of job has such a short notice period?
And today the hard requirement is???
They had a strategy to monetize their App Store, so it wasn't totally donation-ware. I think they fumbled by being purists and not accepting closed-source software in their store. I was initially excited about the concept until I looked more closely and found a pretty high commission, the open-source requirement, and some half-baked programming language. These were foolish missteps.
I really try not to relax and put in a proper effort to wrap up anything I have in progress and do a proper handover. Sometimes this results in a bit of additional overtime for my own peace of mind.
"Ukraine's revolution and the far right" - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26468720

Banderites (followers of Nazi Stepan Bandera) are all over Ukraine in significant numbers. The current President Zelenskyy constantly talked about them and their growing support over the last decade in his comedic performances and as a politician.

Western media is suddenly reluctant to discuss this history (possibly because of state objectives) but the articles and other news media produced from ~2014-2016 on this topic are easy to find.
No I cannot. Only China and Russia ban websites that have voices against their government.
> You seem to have followed one unecessary qualifier

Its not an unnecessary qualify because the "targeting russian DNA" is a common part of many of the conspiracies and what I was referring to.

A common conspiracy going around is that there were bio-weapons meant to target Russian DNA, which doesn't make any sense.

Edit: for Example, here is one english speaking, moderately sized influencer, repeating this conspiracy about the targeting of Russian DNA. https://clips.twitch.tv/SpicyClearFriesItsBoshyTime-9Ap6YN1H...

I don't keep track of every place that is spreading each specific conspiracy theory. But the point of this example, is to just give a one-off example describing this conspiracy in general.
Yep, https://www.sec.gov/news/pressreleases?aId=&combine=charges&...

Honestly - I think it's pretty niche. I get that on HN - everyone will chime in and say it's frequent but I've seen thousands of monitors in my day... and all of them were connected to just one device and never more than one device.

Yes - sometimes things get connected to multiple devices but again - it's a niche.

Her book "Expecting Better" came highly recommended from multiple pediatricians - it's among the most trusted books about pregnancy.

This is the only correct answer.

I've put on, and lost, 25 lbs probably 8+ times in my life (intentionally). I weigh 180 at my heavier end so that's a meaningful percentage for me. Depending how disciplined you are able/want to be, the easiest and most consistent way is to count calories.

If you don't want to be that strict, then just cut either your portions by 1/4 or remove a meal/snack that you estimate to be 250-500 calories. For me I just cut breakfast since I'm not really a breakfast person. Some people like to call this "intermittent fasting" and will give you an entire lecture about it's benefits. I call it "skipping breakfast".

Assuming you've cut 250-500 calories per day, weigh yourself every morning before any food/water. You should be losing 1-2 lbs per week, but it can fluctate so I would really look at 4-8 lbs per month as a reasonable target. If you are not losing that weight, you didn't cut enough calories, remove another 250/500 and try again.

On top of this do weight training and cardio, the type doesn't matter.

Good luck!
Metal backend is currently only M1 compatible, which is a shame, but still super exciting that they added it at all. Really great to see Apple contributing to the project, plus I think they mentioned they plan to make the Cycles Metal backend compatible with older Macs in the future. Might be able to finally make use of those Radeon cards in older high-specced Macs!

EDIT: Looks like I missed that it's also already compatible with AMD cards in older Macs, they just have to have the latest OS installed!

- Don't avoid fat, avoid sugar

- go for an at least 30 min walk, every day

- hit the gym, increase your muscle mass

- try intermittent fasting

- if you're healthy, try to fast for a couple of days. Use that as start to improve your diet. For me, it really changed my perception of "being hungry"

- avoid highly processed foods

- get a CGM, see what spikes your blood sugar, avoid that

Two things in the dev v pm pitch:

1 - if you pitch it to devs for ease of use, there is obvious, direct and existing competition which has been around for years. It's hard to show you are easier to use. It's also going to be a harder pitch for them internally.

2 - there is literally hard $$ of revenue to be had from the pitch to PMs etc because it's actually a pitch to the CEO. More users. CEO is talking to investors/friends/husband/wife: "I just saved my devs 10 hrs upfront and 1 hr per week!" v "I just added X new customers".

Better hope the police don't find out your Android has an unlocked bootloader; I hear prosecutors are really cracking down on unlicensed software development ever since the assassination. They say unregulated software development leaked his location to the Zetas, I don't know if I believe that.
Changing strategy and setting up for the next phase is another explanation. Yes there were initial blunders, they have a lot of equipment too.

1. Insulin is real. Calories in / calories out people - 'eat less, move more' - grasp onto one truth but don't take insulin into account. 500 calories of sour cola bottles isn't the same as 500 calories of meat in that the sour cola bottles will spike your insulin.

2. If you have 10-15 percent body fat (which is lean) you still have 5000 calories of food on your body ready to eat for a couple of days.

Look at Dr Sten Ekberg, or any oncologist for information about longer term fasting and insulin.

Anecdata you can ignore: for me, a 48h fast drops about 1% of my body fat, originally there's a 2% drop but it'll come back up to -1% after a few days.

I mean, yes, this is almost always true, but that does not mean that it's always in your best interests to tell your manager what you honestly think.
