The pull request workflow is not "anti-productive derpiness". You literally click one button and the pull request is merged. With email you have to save the patch from your webmail client† somewhere, then apply it on the command line, and then push your changes. This workflow inefficiency is multiplied by the number of patches you have and therefore adds up quickly. There is no good reason for it other than nostalgia for the old days of Unix when everything was email based because the Web wasn't very mature yet.

†Yes, most people use webmail, not native desktop email clients, and no, it is not reasonable to expect people to switch for this.
What I’ve heard from Russian resisters is that they support these moves because it radicalizes the people.
Obama came to power on a wave of optimism - he was going to close gitmo and stop the drone strikes.

Years after he left the scene gitmo is still open and drone strikes still happen.

GWB is gone but his policies endure. Turns out US leadership likes it that way.

If Putin fails in Ukraine, he'll be forced from power in Russia. He has no reason to give up and every reason to continue until he can claim at least some sort of victory.
We already do this with a society, no AI required.

Having people live longer means more people means we need more food and water of which there is a finite amount. There is only so much arable land, and so much water that can be made potable. Removing the salt from the oceans is quite expensive, and adding more waste to the existing fresh water would make it more expensive to make potable. Not to mention places to live near where people can work.

These are all hard problems to solve. There's no magical AI to solve it for us.

Well if Russians in general are similar to you, this strategy may work. If they are similar to me, I'd guess it will not work. It seems only time can tell how effective the strategy will be.
Think about e.g. 46th + Grand or 38th + Nicollet though? Small commercial corridors within residential areas can become the heart of the neighborhood.

I agree re: retail though, in my experience there and elsewhere it’s groceries + restaurants/cafes that drive the neighborhood commercial engine, and if there’s enough then you can see traditional retail.

It's a lot better than the regime change that Russia was initially aiming for. Fighting a large neighboring power to a standstill and suing for peace is quite the success.
Apparently it's happening: Police officers in Moscow are stopping people, demanding to see their phones, and refusing to release them if they refuse. https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-police-are-demanding...
If economic sanctions, or even supplying arms to Ukraine to support them were considered moral, then I fail to see how merely remotely disabling software is suddenly immoral. At worst, it would merely be use of another type of weapon.
It's difficult to take your comment seriously when you start off with a falsehood. Afghanistan was not an illegal invasion, they were the aggressor country. To equivocate ukraine with afghanistan is to support Putin's invasion.
Becoming Steve Jobs by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli was a thoroughly enjoyable read for me, and captured the growth trajectory from the 1980s to the 2000s quite well.

> Reminder that the goal is hinderance of aggression by the Russian government, not punishment of the Russian people.

Hindrance of aggression by the Russian government.... by wrecking their economy. Yes, the Russian people, being the economy, are the target, unavoidably.
I am aware that I need more learning, no need for that advice. I also know that BM25 and PageRank are different, were they the same, there wouldn't have been a need for two of them, my question was ver clear - which one in the long run yields better (in terms of relevance) search results comparatively. I am also aware that ES is a starter pack and Google is a beast that will need much much more than just an ES stack, what i wanted to know was - whether ES offers the capabilities to fine tune it to make it behave like such a beast. Thank you for your advice, but it is better if you read the question first before lecturing others in a condescending manner.
Google has this subsidiary for a long, long time.

As more and more providers cut off Russia, we see the points of centralization in the system. For software, this is anything closed-source or licensed- open source can't be blocked. Similar story for cryptocurrency, the centralized offramps like Coinbase cut users off but smart contracts don't.

In a way it's good – people in these situations will flock to more resilient systems.

How to Talk to Your Team About Distressing News Events
If the headline is true, yes. If the article is true, the opposite.
Get the libertarian-ish point of view here, but if a person is unwilling to contribute to the infrastructure of the country in which they actually reside in while also using said infrastructure, to me that just makes them a hypocrite.

FAANG pay is $300k/year because it's a multinational corporation that benefits from the hegemony of the US abroad. That hegemony was built on top of tax dollars from previous generation.

Now if you actually move to the Caribbean and live there full-time then sure that's fine, but the service described in the article isn't that at all.
Just a note for balance; the US Military continues to be the world's greatest polluter by a large margin. A position it has held for almost a century.
That depends a lot on the cardinality of the set of Tims.

On studies with students:

Our prefrontal cortex [which plays critical role in cognition, emotional regulation, and control of impulsive behavior] doesn't come fully online until you are about 24 (!). Given that, I take all studies done on university campuses with students younger than 24 with a good spoonful of salt.

The goal is to cripple the Russian economy, which in turn will hinder their war efforts.
Interesting twist. Will be more interesting if its tied to an index fund.
Economies of scale, basically.

Your options for a case are to go full-custom, which is expensive in small volumes, or to go semi-custom, which involves buying a case and having holes machined, which is expensive.

With power supplies, you probably should buy off-the-shelf, and in small quantities that is going to be relatively expensive.

I've never seen the case and power supply dominate costs on any of the designs I've shipped, though. The poster might have very particular power requirements.

Some folks also get hung up on how much cable harnesses and connectors cost. I think it's because they conceptualize the design in their mind without them.
FANGetc. | US | zero benefits | 15-20% of the job

Hate it, but am well paid so mostly just shut up and try to make the experience better for myself and colleagues.

If ever a shift gets bad (up late fixing something, or spurious alarms in the middle of the night), I take a day off (unreported). No boss has ever had a problem with that. They know the job sucks.
This really depends on how much money you have.

It's a good general rule to keep a certain amount of money in cash or cash-like securities but there are limits to this. At a certain point, you lose out more on gains by keepin gmoney in cash than you'd lose by realizing losses to raise cash.

If you believe in the long term future of your investments, the thing to avoid is a cash flow crunch. That's what cash on hand is for. Leveraged investments may face a margin call. That's fine if you believe in the assets and you can cover it. If you can't then you may be forced to sell low.

Part of it too is psychological and being able to sleep at night. If you will suffer extraordinary stress by a 20% price correction then you're probably over-invested, just for your own wellbeing.
We do not need to make transactions in Russia. It is not even possible now for biggest russian banks, and with new local regulation requiring a forced sale of 80% of incoming currency at a 'current' price, it doesn't even make any sense.

What the War in Syria tells us about Russia's use of humanitarian Corridors
At a certain point we need to worry less about Russia's opinion regarding anything, and more about defanging them as a power in the world capable of projecting force until their leader is no longer a power-mad tyrant. Technology sanctions absolutely help us accomplish this goal.
I wasn't there in the 70s, but from what I understand potency of the 70s wasn't nearly what it is today. I have no source for this, but I've been in countless circles with long time smokers who all correlate the same story; that modern day mids was literally the best quality Marijuana you could find in the 70s. So that's probably about 10% THC compared to 30% THC which is not uncommon today.
I have some bad news about war, for you.
Here's my prediction:

Russia will take control of all or most nuclear power plants and other infrastructure. At which point it's only a matter of time until the people of Ukraine will surrender with no water or electricity.

As it stands the West can do nothing.

In the case that NATO starts shooting, the sarcophagus over Chernobyl can be bombed (Putin can blame Ukrainians here).

It seems to be that there's no way out for the Ukrainians :(
You say it’s not a war and then offer a definition of war that very clearly applies to the current scenario.
We'll also have to start measuring websites by how much power they consume.
With all the airline shutdowns, payment system sanctions and COVID lockdowns (which are still in effect on the Russian border), the west has done a great job of locking Russians inside Russia, where they have three choices:

1. Protest against Putin and go to prison, in the hope that if Putin is gone the west will drop all sanctions (not very likely).

2. Keep head down.

3. Support the government.

Given that the rest of the world is trying as hard as possible to fuck Russia and random ordinary Russians in every way, I suspect a lot of them will conclude it's us vs them and pick (3). Really a bad set of strategies, in my view. It would be ironic and sad if WW3 was triggered by virtue signalling.
Exactly.

Right now all data that I can find tells me to not vent, but take a time out. You know.... how we have "count to 10 before saying anything nasty".
To be fair there are also studies showing alcohol has similar effects on the brain. I saw one just yesterday:

"A large study of more than 36,000 high-quality MRI brain scans has found that drinking four units of alcohol a day – two beers, or two glasses of wine – causes structural damage and brain volume loss equivalent to 10 years of aging."

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-28735-5

I always said I would never smoke marijuana because my brain is my biggest asset and I wouldn't want to do anything to decrease its value to me. Now it looks like I need to take a good hard look at my alcohol consumption. I just can't square it with my values anymore.
Unpopular opinion, I expect, but until, and unless, there is a reckoning with the replication crisis in psychology, Hacker News should treat this kind of article the same way they would treat one which takes homeopathy seriously.

I've flagged it as irrelevant and suggest you do so also.
A couple people have mentioned Sapolsky and he came to my mind also. Here's a comment I made a while back along the same lines on an article about why swearing (as a form of venting) does work (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12229422). Sapolsky again on rats and baboons (from Why Zebra’s Don’t Get Ulcers):

A variant of Weiss's experiment uncovers a special feature of the outlet-for-frustration reaction. This time, when the rat gets the identical series of electric shocks and is upset, it can run across the cage, sit next to another rat and... bite the hell out of it. Stress-induced displacement of aggression: the practice works wonders at minimizing the stressfulness of a stressor. It's a real primate specialty as well. A male baboon loses a fight. Frustrated, he spins around and attacks a subordinate male who was minding his own business. An extremely high percentage of primate aggression represent frustration displaced onto innocent bystanders.

I recently left a job and boss where this dynamic was very much in play (more blaming than biting but obvious displacement aggression all the same).

My conclusion: swearing (venting) might be seen as a more civilized form of displacing stress-induced aggression.
I read your comment as sarcastic and in this sense you don't warrant the downvotes.

But I don't disagree that politicians are quite weak in taking these bold steps.

They are very common - "vape cartridges" are the preferred intake mechanism for a lot of people because it's much more discrete (almost no smell, can pass for normal vaping) and convenient (small size). And those cartridges can be upwards of 90% THC.
Wow I was so wrong! The treatment is basically ibuprofen and bed rest. Sad we've been unable to eradicate it yet!
Maybe this is wrong, but it sounds like you were in toxic relationships, ones which you were able to escape by asserting your boundaries. Asserting yourself is a little different than being hostile and/or violent, which is what aggression is usually considered.

In any case and semantics aside, congrats on removing relationships that were pushing you inwards and making you unhappy. Like the article mentions, brain pathways and behavior are like hiking paths, it's incredibly difficult to forge new ones and continually use them until it's normal.
They are pretty heavily in use and available at most locations that legally sell marijuana. Estimate they are 15 to 20% of sales, perhaps more. Even common flower now is 20% thc.

Any talk of Jobs' greatness is offset a good measure by the sort of obvious jerk he was to others. Sure he may be responsible for the iPhone, but he fired people with families who were depending on an Apple paycheck on the merest of whims.
I assume iTunes must just be using some other mechanism for conveying lyrics. Most new songs in the store do have lyrics; you can see them in the iOS and tvOS Music apps (not sure about desktop since I don't use the desktop app). I just spot checked a couple albums I bought from iTunes recently and every song I checked has lyrics. It even has them timed to the music like karaoke. If I go back a few years, I do see albums with no lyrics. Is this maybe something they've pushed recently?
People do not vent anger. People vent frustration. Anger is usually a follow-up because the person does not have a motion forward or solution to the frustrating element.

In my experience people vent their frustration because they are stuck in their thinking and instinctively want to share it with others in hope the trusted person can give a way out, or comfort them.
That sounds a lot like "my grandmother smoked 2 packs a day and lived til she was 99."

I think the whole point is that it hasn't been studied yet, so we can't say definitively if its safe or not.
So you say leveling whole cities with ground like Grozny is the right response here?
Think of it from the individual-up. Even if the half of people with affected IQs were spread proportionally throughout the IQ bell curve, they'd have lower IQs than they did before. The other half would raise just as much as the affected half lowered, but the affected half still have lower IQs.
The British are very aware of the large Neo-Nazi supporting population in Ukraine. Over the years the BBC, SkyNews, Reuters, Guardian, and other British media companies have had extensive coverage and made a few documentaries about the topic. I expect they know precisely what they would be opening up their country and domestic population to in a mass migration scenario.
TFA is literally satire.

its proportional. i know i can turn on a dime when i am riding my tractor. and its much lighter than the average truck. i will topple if i try any hi jinks with it on the streets. vs a smaller/shorter car that can certainly turn on a dime on a cul de sac. in urban environments and on roads, a smaller turning radius is immensely useful.

and then there is the height and the clearance. it's not apples to apples clearly.
With 600 consultants that is $9M per consultant. I realize they analysts and other staff, but compared to other consulting acquisitions which are often <$500k per consultant. Consultants are notoriously difficult to retain and often clash with new cultures. This time is obviously incredibly specialized which makes them different and I'm sure Google made sure there are strong retention bonuses, but it is a pretty incredible price.
I see many claims here that the sanctions don't work or that they are targeting the wrong people.

Ukrainians on social media are literally begging for more sanctions on Russia. They know Russia and they lived under a Russian-dominated USSR.
These sanctions work and put pressure on Russia.

Putin has already walked back from his plans to put a puppet regime in Kyiv.
What about Afghanistan and Iraq?
In practice, progressive tax curves and incentive programs let politicians meddle. Once they can meddle, lobbyists write the tax code.

So-called progressive taxes are always regressive in practice, at least in the US. Keeping the math simple makes it easy to keep them honest. (Make the marginal rate 40-50% if you want. Just set the base income so that the middle class is paying 33%.)

He is known in Brazil as Lula. Only Brazilians can legally donate to political campaigns, so you might as well refer to the candidate as he is known among the possible donors.

You obviously haven't tried to buy a car during the pandemic.
I agree. I fear Ukraine will “win” when Russia retreats from the scorched, destroyed-to-rubble ruins of their nation.
It’s your right to do so but don’t pretend you’re doing Caribbean communities any favors.

If the country doesn’t charge taxes and all you’re doing is trading cryptocurrency on the beach you’re not really helping the locals in a meaningful way.
Crucially, it was probably better for everyone else too, not just yourself.

That’s focused on the writing/creating side of the equation. In my side projects, I became a lot more efficient when I decided to put effort into using frameworks, adopting libraries, and copying common practices.

I've only heard great things about Bevy, and their community is awesome. Highly recommend looking into it if you like Rust! They also just had a huge gamejam with something like ~70 submissions. Impressive stuff!

I'm super excited about WebGPU and think it will be a winning strategy for game engines going forward.

I'm working on a (very early stages) game engine in Zig called Mach[0] and am using Google Chrome's implementation of WebGPU as the native graphics abstraction layer, so Zig's C++ compiler builds it all, you get cross-compilation out of the box. It's quite fun!

Please do.

There's a possibility that I'm using the term catharsis completely wrong, so I'm not taking the study at face value.

I've never heard of people equating venting with catharsis or linking them logically.

To me, catharsis is something that occurs rarely, to some people, after a tragedy. It's sort of an emotional closure that lets you move on in peace.
I don't mean any offense, but I think it's somewhat fascinating that the idea of total war seems assumed by both your comment and the original post. Even if the US and Russia were at war, the notion that private citizens were not just involved, but obligated to contribute seems to be a remnant of the world wars. What's interesting to me is that this notion seems to have disappeared, since to my knowledge there wasn't such an expectation with Vietnam and Korea (though maybe we can argue that the witch hunt for communists was something of a continuation).

Maybe it's due to the positioning of Russia as an existential threat? It just reminds me of the whole freedom fries vs french fries thing and the idea that there isn't a separation between geopolitics and domestic politics.
