It would be extremely hard (if not impossible) to extract and transfer those resources under constant attacks by Ukrainian resistance. To suppress that resistance would require so much money (and soldiers) that it would probably bankrupt Russia. At the same time, the extraction of natural resources is threatened in Russia itself, because they use western financing and tech to do that, western companies are now leaving and it is not so easy to switch to China.

Thanks, but I have a copy of the book on hand already.

In the book de Mesquita refers to regardless of whether the system is Authoritarian or Democratic, rulers have to please their respective circle of power brokers. The only difference is the number they have to placate. And the US is not the prototypical example of the most democratic and grassroots political system out there by a long shot.

To say I believe Biden has been on his throne for 22 years is such a blatant strawman, I find it difficult to take you seriously. Even if he was a Senator since 1973 who clearly knows how to stay afloat in politics for 49 years.

Being flexible about types and cuts of meat can help with the cost also. At least at supermarkets in my area, a three or four-pound piece of pork shoulder might be buy-one-get-one-free, for about the same price as a pack of six chicken wings or a small strip steak.

You get a Portuguese company acting as nearshore frontend for a offshore one in India.

The Portuguese company acts as gateway and code review (aka fixes) the deliveries, while ensures that the costs remain low.

The actual owning company then regularly threatens the Portugue one to fully move into offshore if they cannot keep up.

Actual scenario, I will refrain from naming which ones.

Several jobs ago, I was given a requirements document with a number of sentences highlighted as specific requirements. I was asked to copy each highlighted requirement to a list, briefly outline each one and estimate the development workload for each one.

I did all of that and sent the report with estimates back to my manager, who responded that I had missed an estimate for one item out. That item was "Code will be of good quality". I responded that all of the code will be of good quality and it would be nonsensical to estimate an amount of time to this one thing as it if was a separate task.

"I'm not not going to write a complete system with bad code and then spend time re-writing it to make it good code."

This story did not end well.
Well, if you're going to go by what the Russians themselves call stuff in Russian, then Ukraine (or at least a big chunk of it) is called "Little Russia", so... Maybe better not go by that, eh?

I mean, if we were to go by what people call places as a valid indicator for which people the places belong to, then everything from the Atlantic as far east as all of Poland and much of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia used to be called Grossdeutschland ("Greater Germany") as late as in my grandparents' youth... So better not.

The appeal of an inner solar system would be the Dyson swarm surrounding the star, powering a Jupiter-sized matryoshka brain.

The bottleneck for a game like this is the GPU and not the CPU (usually). Additionally, Veloren has a tonne of things that Minecraft doesn't:

- A much larger world (compare the number of blocks in Veloren's trees against those of Minecraft, or the fact that mountains in Veloren are regularly many thousands of blocks tall, compared to Minecraft's 256 block height limit)

- PBR rendering

- Shadow-mapping

- Bloom

- A level of detail system, along with horizon maps for dynamic terrain-scale shadows

- More advanced voxel lighting that respects normals

- Fully volumetric cloud, aurora, and atmospheric rendering with raycasting

- More detailed character models and animations

- A more detailed particle system

- Dynamic point lights and related effects (point light diffusion, for example)

- High-detail terrain objects like grass, corn, etc.

As another poster said, there's not really much point in comparing the performance of the game to that of Minecraft. They have virtually nothing in common from a rendering perspective other than the fact that their polygon normals are mostly oriented toward the cardinal axes.
Agreed, Pro/Community covers everything you need.
For European contractors there is currently so much demand from US companies. And they have no problem paying very high rates for the region, it’s such a different dynamic than dealing with European clients.

The last 2 contracts I negotiated with US clients went like this:
- “My rate is X, good for you?”
- “Let’s make it X +20%. What do you think? We want to be sure you’re available and keep work capacity for us.”

Which makes me realize I still have plenty of room to push the number even higher.
Yes, that sounds totally reasonable and not at all user hostile.
Seneca on Philosophy and Friendship (Ep. IX)
Humans seem to have some kind of radius around their emotional center. Personally I'm not ashamed to admit my emotional responses get weaker in response to events that spread outward from my kids, immediate family, my own town, my own country etc ... you get the idea. A bomb going off in Syria doesn't shake me as much as a bomb going off in my home town and that's not a hypothetical example. I'm sure people in Nigeria don't lose much sleep over a bomb going off in Brussels airport. Does that make them racist?

What's happening in Ukraine is a completely unprovoked attack by a nuclear power led by a madman who seems to have lost all grip on reality. The potential for escalation in to something nobody ever imagined possible is very real.

Lastly, there's also such a thing as "intent". Cynical responses will surely follow but I'm convinced that while the US made many colossal mistakes in the Middle East they never came close to having malicious drive that Russia is showing now.
These are very cute, but I'm mildly annoyed that mine is basically invisible
Communication is difficult, but isn't the hardest thing, just another in a long list of difficult things.

And requirements aren't hard because of communication, requirements are hard because they are mostly unknown to everyone involved. While there are "little r" requirements in projects, if I encounter a group/firm/company/culture that puts a capital "R" on the word, I try to stay away. Creating software is largely finding something worth creating, and a process that puts Requirements in the foreground has an implicit assumption that Waterfall actually works.

The essay starts off on the wrong foot and doesn't really go anywhere that hasn't been trodden in countless other articles. Even worse, it ends with "no/low code tools will save us!"

I apologize for being blunt, but you have it backwards.

A the adage goes: buy low sell high. In what people equate with "good economic times," prices are high, but in hard economic times everything is on sale!

That said, firstly and foremost we should all make sure to have enough savings to ride out hard economic times—including personal ones. That is, enough to pay our monthly expenses for a year or so, in case we become unable to work or we do not want to take income from investments (because say, the market is down). How long you should be able to last is a mater of individual comfort level, but IMHO, no less than 6 months.

Too much savings in the bank however—and this I believe relates back to the point being made by the original commenter—is actually not good. That money is losing value, and therefore so are you. You should invest it somehow, but that's not the only way. Another way is taking on debt, if that debt is the sort that generates a profit. We're not talking about car loans here (unless of course your a car dealer).

Please forgive me if I misinterpreted your point, but I felt it important to make this clarification.
Not random. All. And I fully expect the world to do it if USA ever does invade Mexico or Canda with tanks and starts shelling civilians just because they want to annex them.

American oligarchs have total influence over American government. If they allow such thing to happen they are materially responsible for the damage.

People love it. It works. No one wants to go back except for a few 'rare ones'. Somehow, people still manage to spend their money and start businesses - amazing.

I see no reason why the same couldn't be done online, were the political will to suddenly start reflecting the will of the people somehow.

There are many possible implementations, and many rather easy to implement solutions. The virtuous cycles could be incredible.
Yup, definitely second that. With that change I can definitely imagine this as a user option in the settings. Reading is so much easier.

Well, 2 of them are hard, the others are the kind of thing you get if you let a developer take a week or two to solve them at the beginning, but almost impossible to create after the system is built.

So, 3 months of up-front work. It very likely won't break any project/company, but it's enough of a drag that most people will say "fuck it" and not target large enterprises. And, well, there are plenty of other reasons not to target enterprises that the GP isn't talking about, so it may be a good choice.

Yeah agreed, the incredibly long term stability and backward compatibility was a real strength of the .NET framework.

very much. I have always worked in open source, so the joke has always been 'change of badge / laptop, but business as usual'. This is playing out widely now.

Putin wants the neutrality promise to be in the constitution. Presumably shelling would recommence if they tried to take it out again afterwards.

I apologize for the strawman, then. And yes, it's not like there aren't parallels, but you cannot compare the power and influence of a Russian oligarch, who tends to serve as both a proxy/puppet to Putin and a useful way to stash riches, to, say, Musk or Bezos who tend to very much follow their own goals.

American billionaires have too much power, for sure, but that's a statement on the power of money and the ability for people to amass too much of it in one place in the USA. Russian oligarchs have this power because Putin shares it with them.

Since you've read the book (and I'm guessing agree with it, as I do), we're on the same page about the spectrum of democracy vs authoritarianism. But nowhere can you compare the actual individuals. Individual Russian oligarchs are the equivalent of extremely large corpora of people, servants and businesses; not of individual CEOs.
But it's occupying syria. It's bombing somalia. And Yemen. They just pulled out of afghanistan after many years there, and they even fucked that up.

>instead of a smaller number, with consistent skills, shepherding the project from start to finish. This is opposed to designs for deliverable-focused Quality and market fit.

Ultimately, if companies truly valued this, they would've done more to keep talent. Instead the majority keeps looking for the fine line between "they will quit" and "they will stay", even going so far as disregarding the basic premise of "a happy, stress-free employee produces more valuable output".

>I’m not sure that things are sustainable.

Of course things aren't sustainable. Nothing points towards most companies aiming for sustainability in the first place.
I'm preaching to the choir here but considering IT a cost center is one of the largest mistakes most orgs have.

Nothing is a "cost" center, everything is some form of value center.

If the value you get for the money you pay is not worth it, then that's fine, but it's not simply a cost.

> 1. Zero debt. For a while I had house mortgage that I repaid at the first possible availability of bulk cash.

Would disagree with zero debt being so high up in priority. Not all debt is equal. It's typically not worth it to pay debt back early if under ~3% interest rate.

Credit card debt? Yes as soon as possible. Student loans or a mortgage around 2%-3% interest rate? You're better off investing that money to make 5%-8% on it

I'm terribly sorry that it took Georgia and Chechnya for the west to finally get of their asses. I guess third time's the charm.

Poland understood what was happening from the first invasion. But western governments have their perception impaired by distance or something. Maybe yoi can't hear bombs that well from under all of that Russian oil.

Only the vision of Russian tanks on NATO border and two million of refugees entering EU got through to them.
I ran Linux on the desktop for 19 years before moving to Macs. I never had any hardware issues, because I always bought kit that was well-supported under Linux, and stayed away from, say, "winmodems" and wifi chipsets with Windows-only binary blobs. I think so many of the problems people have with trying to move to Linux is that they get a wild hair one day, and then just try to switch, using the Microsoft-subsidized hardware they already have. My advice? Switch with some fresh hardware. Buy a GOOD machine that is known to have good support. Buy GOOD peripherals. With both, make sure you're buying stuff that actually works on its own, and doesn't require software magic in Windows. You're going to have to research a little, and probably spend a little more than you normally would, but Microsoft has made this situation the way it is. If you really want to escape their gravity well, you're probably going to have to do more than just switch your OS.

The biggest problem with the iPhone to me is forced obsolescence. A device from 2014 (iPhone 6) is no longer able to run many apps, because it doesn't support iOS versions past 12. Many of these apps are essentially just web pages, so in principle the hardware should be more than capable of running them. But instead you are pushed to ditch perfectly functional and capable hardware in favour of a new model.

Compare that with the PC world. A laptop from 2011 can still both run Windows 10 and pretty much anything you want, assuming your hardware is able to process it fast enough - which for many use cases it is.
We're not imprisoning them, we're freezing their riches. This gets more of them to oppose Putin. And several are now having to come out publicly speaking against him.

This is how we're helping a coup d'état happen. It's a good and solid strategy. A lot is riding on this.
Inflation will wipe out that cash though.

Honestly, it's hard to give advice since it's so specific to the region and job market, etc.

Like many US engineers can easily afford to buy a house outright with $200k+ salaries, that isn't possible as often in Europe or Asia for example.

But basically do what you can to get fixed costs that you know you can afford and stability - i.e. a fixed rate mortgage, fixed rate utilities, and trade union membership and unemployment insurance, etc.
