His point was correct: The most advanced people in the world live under ever-more-liberal democracies. There are vicious dictators in the world, and putin is one, along with Kim, Aliyev, Lukashenko etc, but they are not offering a better alternative to liberal democracy. Where he gets it wrong is that liberal democracy is final, while in reality it is one more extra step in this process towards individual rights set forward by enlightenment.
Reminds me of the vocal American n95 mask producer who wasn’t operating at 100% production 2 years ago bc he has seen it all before, knew buyers wouldn’t appear just bc American and would opt for cheaper products naturally undermining stable domestic supply. If he ramped up he would just erode his profit margin, sad.
Wouldn't this encourage slow driving to increase ride prices?
I think it's a bit misleading to state that 54% figure without also mentioning that 18% didn't answer the question.

So 54% supported joining NATO and 28% opposed, almost a 2 to 1 ratio of support to opposition.
I think it's more likely to be a marketing campaign that's capitalizing on the Ukraine crisis. Articles like this were popping up last year, but it's ramped up a lot lately.
The host Rollie Williams has a graduate degree in climate change, maybe his style isn't for everyone but he's clearly knowledge and passionate about the subject.
I have been using Google Colab and AWS for 'big' personal projects while I use my PC to train light models. Colab is neat because it's free and I like the style of their notebooks. However, you cannot always find available GPU and I wouldn't recommend free Colab for anything else than learning and experimenting with ML. I have been using AWS Ubuntu server set up with PyTorch and had OK experience, but you need to be careful about pricing and set up policies, as well as remember to turn off your machines when you're not working on them if you don't want your credit card to blow up. In the future, I might give Google Colab Pro a try, but most of the work now I do on the company's server.

Anecdote:
When I was taking the 'Computing For Data Science' class, we had a task to learn to use AWS tools like SageMaker, NLP bot or DeepRacer and present it in the class. The professor was also new to the whole AWS ecosystem. He opened many instances and left them running for a week which ended up taking 1000$ from bank account.. (Moral of the story: don't use aws with the card where all your money is)

Wow:

The quest the two researchers embarked on to build this nose began in 2019. That was when they heard reports of Joy Milne, a retired nurse living in Scotland, who could detect people with Parkinson’s from a distinctive odour they emitted—distinctive to her, at least, though for reasons still obscure, undetectable by others.

Mrs Milne first noticed this odour when her husband developed the illness. She made the general connection later, when she smelled it at sufferers’ support groups attended by her spouse. Tests using clothes worn by patients confirmed her ability. She even noted one seemingly healthy individual as having the disease months before other symptoms developed.
The WinForms repo is actually also quite dead. There are fixes here and there are but no major things in the horizon. Apparently they want to focus their efforts on MAUI and WinUI, both of which are not even close to production ready.
People still speak their non-Mandarin mother tongues at home and in general. Local dialects are still used at the bank, at government service centers, etc.

This isn't what actually happens in practice though. In practice, children speak the language their school tells them to speak. And generation by generation less and less people speak the other language, and in smaller and smaller areas.

I'm somewhat familiar with the situation in Taiwan. No one is actively suppressing Hokkien (or Taiwanese or whatever you want to call it) anymore, but the language of instruction is still Mandarin and so Hokkien is dying rapidly. Even in cases where both parents speak it, often their children can just understand it and don't speak it, and there's zero chance their children - grandchildren of hokkien speakers - will.

Used to work with some Chinese Malaysians from Penang. All under 30, all spoke Mandarin to each other because the level of Hokkien knowledge ranged from "fluent" to "none at all".
"Basically worthless" seems like an overstatement. If 16 out of 100 flu cases were prevented, that seems like it could prevent a few hundred to a few thousand deaths given the number of cases/deaths annually.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html says between 12k and 50k deaths per year.

Not great, but not nothing.

I don’t think that working for two companies somehow changes a contract that you have with the first company.

In the original game, triangles are bucketed in a grid perpendicular to gravity. So to do collision, you take Mario’s position on that plane, do a 2d array lookup into a bucket, and then iterate over the few triangles that touch that bucket.

In the library version I just cut that system out to make my life easier while refactoring that stuff, but it would certainly be nice to do something better than ripping over every triangle at some point.
I'll take this opportunity to plug my own question to the folks on HN - does anybody know how much protection an LLC generally provides you w.r.t. lawsuits and such? I'm currently looking at doing software consulting for a startup, but indemnification clauses have been touchy for the people I've talked to (and I'm paranoid about losing more than I gain in an unfortunate situation). My lawyer has told me that "piercing the corporate veil" is difficult and an LLC should protect me relatively well, but a good friend told me that I should basically always limit my liability to the amount I've been paid as in his opinion the LLC would be of questionable utility. I know HN isn't the place for legal advice, just wondering if anyone has friendly opinions.

I tried googling this, but the SEO spam is so bad I always converge to the same damn sites. Maybe google search for legal layperson questions is the next big thing?

> OH BOY, does it take a while to unravel and understand that decoupled OOP wet dream.

If you are referring to ASP.NET then I think you might be describing DI and IoC more than OOP in general.

The evolution of ASP.NET has definitely be one of embracing DI and IoC design patterns.

With ASP.Net Core the conversion is complete as the foundations of that framework are built on DI and IoC design principles.

However, the trouble with DI for newcomers is it can be very hard to understanding what's going, only because of much of the action happens in code that is not visible.

It also means anyone using the framework really has little choice but to also adopt DI and IoC design principles, otherwise they'll just find themselves fighting the framework.

It never dropped in absolute terms. It’s been on a constant upward trend. As a proportion of global manufacturing it dropped but that’s inevitable with other economies growing if you’re as big a part of the global economy as the US is.
This is how companies think:

If you can make something in the US for $5 and sell it for $300 you make $295 profit.

If you can make it in China and ship it to the US for $4 you make $296 profit.

Therefore its better to make it in China. They disregard literally every other benefit.
it seems that pootin doesnt want to keep it, hence why the slow approach to kiev etc, he wants to press hard on final negotiations. But OTOH , that is a bluff that the west can call. If he really stays in kiev, with zelenski exiled in poland and active resistance in ukraine, and sanctions having now become permanent, that's a slow disaster for him. Russians were not asked for this invasion nor are they prepared for global isolation, despite their nationalist exuberance
I'd guess it's wrong too. It looks as if it's trying to cluster states, but the part that says "repeat transformations until no changes are possible" suggests it might eliminate too much for the sake of a simple formulation.

In a 2-symbol TM, there are at most two outgoing edges in a state. If you remove the self-reference, you're left with just one. That seems to remove too much of the hidden complexity.

I suppose the thinking behind it is "a loop is not spaghetti code", but a loop in higher level language rarely translates to a single state moving to itself.

OTOH, it's possible to write spaghetti-code in a system that only has while loops and if-then-else by simply having very complex conditions, and modifying the variables on which they depend at seemingly unrelated points in the code. After all, both are TM complete.
polling is way higher on EU trade and EU membership though and strong support !== necessarily mean strong opposition.

Just a couple google sources before the invasion put it at 69%, 57%, 58% join EU versus 21% wanting the opposite of an economic union with ussr countries.

IDK xtabs or if there is a poll with strong/lean scale, but a strong plurality above 50% is pretty big regardless see another example last link below showing decent majority strong yes with relatively small no.

Main point is that NATO wasn't even on the table for Ukraine.

The first invasion happened after the Ukrainian people chose a new government because Yanukovych refused to sign the EU trade agreement.

I think a lot of countries in their position (like finland) the citizens were rightly worried about poking the nuclear bear by trying to join NATO.

There are more than a few articles and polls out now showing the sentiment has changed now with this recent war.

Finland for example is now above 53% join nato for while only 28% against.

Another example of lopsided enthusiasm painting a different picture of support.

You can run on-demand training jobs on GCP vertex ai training. I'm not sure the price point but it's pretty useful both for development and training.
because they didn't fit the requirements. Mainly have to be a Democracy with more fair law & government.
In Singapores case my more cynical take is they wanted to ensure that Chinese formed a linguistic majority, not just an ethnic one. China was an economic backwater when the Speak Mandarin policy came about, and Singapore already had and continues to have a real lingua franca - English.
I was thinking about Whispernet too, and then I thought about Sidewalk, and how some cable ISPs are offering wifi hotspot service via the router they rent you (Comcast does this).

Would manufacturers need to add cellular support if they could instead sign deals with other companies to auto-setup a wireless connection?

I realize Sidewalk is very low bandwidth, but I wonder if that's a problem for the telemetry data we're worried about.
Do not start new projects on WPF. WPF is considered done, meaning no bug fixes whatsoever. There is nobody working on it, not a single person.
Looking at the list I think it might be possible to pass all the tests (please correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe there needs to be a catch-all test that always fails?
It is much more complicated than that. Read the Gulag Archipelago. You’ll find descriptions of True Believers who firmly believe everyone else but them is there for a very good reason. But with them, a mistake has been made. Hodorkovsky did not become a dissident before he was stripped of his glory as an oligarch. For, apparently, trying to buy the Duma at which Putin took personal offense. The media is full of folks who find Youtube and McD being closed as unjust but stay silent on or openly agree with the aggression in Ukraine. That attitude of “you muat die today so I van die tomorrow” is unfortunately very common. People generally agree, that sacrifices must be made for the glory of the homeland but change their minds once the axe reaches them.
Many people in the US don't even realize their stove vent is just a filter. They look almost identical to outward venting hoods. Which means the filter medium is never replaced after it fills up with oils either.
Where should people move to?
The thing is "I absolutely must have gas installed in my house for cooking" turns into "well let's buy the gas water heater, and the gas central heating, and the gas dryer" and all of a sudden you're using was more piped-in gas for for non-cooking things than you are for cooking, but "cooking with gas" was the hydrocarbon foot in the door at your house.

Otherwise you might opt for an electric tankless water heater, a heat pump HVAC system, and just an electric dryer.
I don't think Ukraine was even being seriously considered for NATO until Russia decided to surround the country with its military recently.

It's like punching someone, some guy passing by tells you to stop, then you justify your reason for punching that person because you were worried that the person who told you to stop was going to attack you.

Nobody was going to do anything to say anything to you if you hadn't gone out of your way to attack someone.
You can run multiple asp.net core services on different ports on same machine. You could create an over-arching console application to automate the same, or you can do it with a simple script.

A similarly brusque response could be written to many, many questions on a forum.

> You seem to be looking for a doctor/lawyer/teacher/statistician/psychologist/sysadmin/_____. Asking concrete _____ questions on a public forum is not a substitute.

Does that really have a positive effect, though? In my opinion, it's not a good thing for people, especially those who aren't wealthy to enough to pay every time there's something they want to learn.

They probably know that paying someone hundreds of dollars an hour is the surest way to get a good answer but lack either the ability or the will to pay it.
Note that most HR departments have an automated software that they use with keyword searches.

By that I mean a fancy CV might be really cool, but if you describe your project instead of focussing on the terminology of frameworks they expect, you won't land anywhere.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but HR doesn't understand tech relevant stuff which means they use keyword searches...and when they see a bunch of buzzwords they think this is the candidate for the team.

Even when it's obviously too much or the person has zero experience, this will get filtered out only in the next step when the dev teams get involved.

You gotta SEO your way in :)

When we talk about bootcamps: the disadvantage of bootcamps is the lack of experience that's necessary to understand the underlying technologies. Workers from there might be able to include react components but all hell breaks lose when they have to fix a flexbox related CSS property.
Are you just interested in the training part and managing the trained models, or you'd actually like to productionize the models and serve them at scale?

A lot of end-to-end platforms are available nowadays that try to cover the entire lifecycle of a model from data prep, ETL, to training, serving, monitoring, operating. However, I found none of them really robust enough to cover all these cases perfectly, so I resorted to using different pieces from different vendors combined with my own stuff to make the entire platform suit my needs. This is still not perfect, though, and I think there's a lot of room for improvement in the space to enable really easy to use and scalable MLOps.

Still some of the tools I found to be ok: TensorFlow TFX, Kubeflow (to some extent - ops are a nightmare), Feast, MLFlow, GCP Vertex and AWS Sagemaker can get some work done, too.
> Putin is not going to bomb Lviv,

Russia just conducted strikes in the area of Lviv.
> They achieved what they were meant to achieve.

That is copium to the highest degree. The sanctions were meant to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb, they were about one year away from having one when the sanctions hit, nowadays I read somewhere (maybe the Economist) that they're maybe one month away only from being able to build one. The sanctions failed.

Later edit: Article from November 2021 about the one-month thing: "Iran one month away from achieving nuclear weapon". [1] As recently as January 2020 the West still thought that Iran was "one or two years" from building a bomb [2]

They only use the Chrome v8 engine to host their serverless stuff, so everything has to transpile to Javascript or compile to WASM. If v8 doesn't run it, it's not running in their edge.

I think it's a good idea; cheap runtimes and no cold start penalty are a good combination.
What proof is there that whoever wrote the comment actually did it? Besides, if they can be broken merely by being opened and closed hard, they aren’t going to stay long anyway.
this was already happening in ukraine however , cant push it any further
Gas can be carbon negative. If you make methane from syngas by gasifying or pyrolyzing biomass, you're still left with either ash, or carbon black, depending on the process used. This is solid carbon that was pulled out of the atmosphere by a plant, that can be sequestered away.
By what measure? Induction wins hands down for control, responsiveness, efficiency, and heat output: https://youtu.be/hX2aZUav-54

Doing a super low temp simmer on gas is hard. Double boilers are only something you need with gas. Induction imho and experience is just better all around. What the video for someone putting it far more eloquently then I ever could.
It lacks the most infuriating rule found in the wild, an upper limit on the length of the password (that's not at least in the thousands due to e.g. request size limits).
I'm genuinely puzzeled. I don't think anyone thinks it's possible to kill putin, so I'm wondering about all this appeal to murder.
Commenting here as I don't think it's really worth a top level.

I feel it really depends on the person. For most Americans, induction is great. It's dead simple, repeatable, etc. But, I hate it!

I cook on cast iron. My wife cooks with a stir fry pan or wok. We went from gas to induction and both of us absolutely hated it. It's so hard to cook if you learned in a natural fire environment.

I hate having gas at all, I just wish there was a way to mimic its behavior.
If you look at any language that got wiped out, or nearly got wiped out, the story is always the same:

"they punished us at school if we spoke $MOTHER_TONGUE instead of $NATIONAL_LANGUAGE".
Neither Switzerland, Norway, Iceland nor Lichtenstein are in the EU, all are fairly well off to very rich countries.

Also, afaik, the demand was not about joining EU, but NATO?

Austria, Finland, Sweden are not part of NATO, and are doing fine.

Plenty of very poor subservient countries in the EU too, just look at how “nicely” they dealt with Greece. Romania and Bulgaria are also roughly as poor as Ukraine, on the PPP basis.
Small minded doesn't necessarily mean wrong.
I think the problem is that nobody buys hobs with dials anymore. When they have the choice, most people prefer the sleek look and easy cleaning.

And the controls aren't all terrible. We have a cheap electric Ikea hob (non-induction), and the controls are decent. It has digits from 0-9 for each heater, so you can set every heater to the right power with a single touch.

If you spill something it starts beeping, and you have about 10 seconds to wipe the controls with a rag, or it turns off. It's annoying the first time it happens, but it's not a big deal in practice.

I use this hob everyday to cook for 5 people, so it's not like sensor controls are useless.

It also has some advantages, like individual timers for each heater. And the little one can't reach the controls and mess with them.
If I go in and out in autopilot, listening to my audio books, then it's not an experience. I frankly don't remember a single shopping trip.

The harder it is to run in autopilot, the more inane distractions there are, the worse the activity.
It will also hurt Europe when it comes to migration. Much more expensive food means potential famine in large swaths of Africa and in some places in the Middle East, means people willing to risk it all in order to escape famine, means migration to Europe at any costs.
Fuck FAANG, just focus on being good at what you do/delivering value, there are plenty of very well paid senior roles out there for dotnet devs not at FAANG companies.

As an aside, I'd be surprised if any of those companies hired specifically based on programming language, surely Are you good at programming is more important than the specific language you have experience with? If you have learned one, you can learn others.
This is a fantastic question. I would love an informed answer to this question from someone who's actually been on the other side of a lawsuit in a 1-person company.

For context, as a layman, when I Googled this a while ago, the understanding I came away with was that while there can be some benefit to form an LLC in this regard, in reality it's Very Hard (TM) for a 1-person company to truly avoid the risk of the corporate veil getting pierced (regardless of the kind—LLC or whatever). The way I understood it, the entity suing you will look for any and all excuses in your records to try to pierce the corporate veil—and these can include anything from "mixed personal & corporate funds" to "did not properly keep detailed minutes of corporate actions", to other things I'm not aware of. And when there's only 1 person in the company, it's generally more difficult to abide by all the formalities in practice and keep proper documentation of them and convince others that you are indeed keeping doing things properly, whereas with 2+ people, it's much easier, and as a result of that fact (IIRC) judges are apparently much less likely to pierce the corporate veil when there are multiple people in a company.

But as I mentioned, I'm a total layman here, and I would love more info from someone who actually has any legal experience with this kind of concern.
Unless there was foul play involved, if among 36.89% majority voted to join NATO and the rest didn't care enough to vote - isn't that an argument in favor of joining?
I use $30 single pot induction stove everyday. I cook for 3 people. It’s placed on top of old school electric one with spiral elements since we live in a rental. Sometimes I use both, but it’s my go to.
