I also left Windows in the mid-1990's. I have tried looking back from time to time, when it felt like it would make life at work easier. The thing is, it never does. That doesn't really say anything about Windows, since it has improved a lot over the years and my reasons for leaving it are no longer valid. It says more about what I am used to, how I expect to get things done, what I am willing to put up with, and what I am not willing to put up with.

It's probably safe for now. Vanced was cracked Google software. NewPipe is basically a FOSS YouTube web scraper.
They apparently minted Vanced NFTs, so making money off of Vanced, or at least the brand, was in the pipeline. Probably part of their downfall, too.
Wordle existed for 5 minutes before NYT bought it (it's still only been around for 5 minutes, really.) It isn't surprising that Wardle didn't put together a legal department.

Just don't call it Wordle if you want to clone it. It's nearly the guy's actual name, maybe cut him a little slack.
If punctured or heated sufficiently it definitely can self-ignite, especially if the battery had some wear and tear. The resulting fire (or explosion) will be a lot less spectacular than if the battery were fully charged, but all lithium batteries can be dangerous if treated badly.
U.S. warns China against helping Russia evade sanctions

> helped kindle the European Renaissance as we know it.

The italian renaissance started in the 14th century for sure and maybe even in 13th century depending on who you ask. Though the exact date can be disputed, nobody disputes the fact that it started long before the fall of the byzantine empire in the mid 15th century.

And the italian renaissance had more to do with direct trade opening up between europe and china/india/etc via the mongol empire ( who had an indirect role in the creation of the ottoman empire ) than anything else. Prior to the mongol empire, they had to no direct trade with either asian centers. Instead they depended on the arabs/persians who acted as middle-men between china/india and europe. It's why we call numbers, Arabic numerals, while the arabs themselves call it Hindu numerals. The arabs got the numbers from india and we got it from the arabs. It's also why europeans used to call china cathay, which is what the arabs called china.

Trade increases wealth. Wealth increase arts/humanities. This is true for italy, india, china, europe, united states, mesopotamia, ancient egypt, etc. It's like how spring rain brings about floral bloom. The italians started getting ridiculously wealthy in the 13th/14th. And like magic, the renaissance was born.

Interesting tidbit, the mongol empire had a significant but indirect part in the "discovery" of the americas by columbus.
Thanks! This is what I was looking for (not anymore, sorry switched to a different language/ecosystem for this project).

This still begs the question, or my original point still stands—why framework reference vs. nuget reference? I'm sure there's a perfectly rationale explanation, but this in itself, having at least two "official" ways of managing dependencies (framework reference vs. package reference on nuget), it's kind of a "code smell" imo.

Ask HN: How to Pay Russian Contractors?
Unfortunately we have some Russian developers who are caught out due to the various payment related sanctions against Russia.

I am not debating the sanctions but wanted to see if anyone has any ideas about how to pay them from the Western world? Preferably a long term option in case the payment sanctions escalate further.

I hope this does not cause political debate as we all are completely against the war. Thanks.

Germany didn't build LNG Terminals and pushed for a second pipeline because of the "Wandel durch Handel" doctrine they wanted to interlink Russia and Asia so deep into the western trade hemisphere that it would be impossible for both sides to go out of it. Of course, Germany will have a hard few years ahead but it is nothing compared to what is coming for Russia in terms of economic hardship. There is a lot of talk about 80% of the Russian people won't be really affected by the sanctions and it's true but the people that are affected by it are the people that are in the realm of power and can force change. No, matter if you are left or right wing people don't want change if worsening your daily lifes and if a modern country can cope with the brain drain of their middle class. Most of the countries that are depended on their natural resources never invested in their capabilities in science or construiction. In the end it all depends on the stance of China and if the Western countries can switch their cheap labor force to South America and Africa or if there is enough public endurance to do it in about 5-10 years. Interesting times.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” -- C.S. Lewis
How does this compare to a compositor like say Natron? https://github.com/NatronGitHub/Natron
I think it's more of a case of preference and ergonomics.

For local dataframes, it's still more ergonomic to use a language's own constructs than to adopt a totally separate DSL for data manipulation. SQL is a different "language" which has its own cognitive overheads. So things like dplyr, pandas, and LINQ (in C#) were invented as language-native ways to manipulate tabular data structures without the overhead of context-switching [1]. After all, learning SQL and being good at it on top of mastering one's own programming language takes something extra.

That said, it's possible and indeed sometimes preferable to use pure SQL for local data tables. I use duckdb to do complex manipulations on dataframes in Python because it's a lot faster than Pandas (due to some columnar optimizations) and because I can express certain things more succinctly in SQL than in Pandas (it's true -- I appreciate Pandas for the achievements that it is, but its syntax can be verbose with all its .apply() and df[df[col=="abc"]] incantations).

Using SQL via sqlite to manipulate local tables confer similar benefits.

[1] To be fair, pandas, dplyr and LINQ -- by virtue of being built into their respective languages -- can do things that SQL can't (or can't do easily) because it's not constrained by some of SQL's design.
And just about every species on the planet.

Chicks dig the long ball.
> Don't use classes for information. Use regular data structures (dict, list, tuple, set) and use functions to manipulate them.

One problem is many of these datastructures are easy to mutate. When I need to ensure immutability to a dictionary, for instance - quite often - I can't avoid wrapping it in a class and setting up an interface to lock down mutation.

If Python had a way to declare immutable datastructure, similarly to Clojure, it would make life a lot easier...

Hi! I'm the lead of the Liblast project :)

We're very happy that our game was hilighted in this community, and we've seen lots of new people trying out the game, getting in touch, asking how they can contribute - that's awesome.

Thank you :)

If you're interested in what the game is about and why should you care about yet another open-source multiplayer FPS, this video I made should answer that question for you:
https://youtu.be/JAQH2AVvKhU

The game is quite limited still, but we've got a small team and just today we've had another team meeting and we've just started working in 2-week sprints. If anyone's interested in contributing - here's a public channel on my Rocket.Chat server where you can reach out: https://chat.unfa.xyz/channel/liblast

Note that the server is mostly about open-source audio production as that's what my primary YouTube channel is about :)

Thanks!
Having come to adulthood in the 90s we all agreed that intellectual property was an oxymoron. It strikes me as odd people worry about the business model of mega corporations. Is it a sense of fairness? I have that instinct, but it doesn't apply to the likes of faang entities.
Wow, this is a real shame. Love Vanced. I've been testing the grounds with NewPipe lately, and it's surprisingly good compared to when I last used it years ago.

If anyone from the Vanced team reads these threads, I understand, and don't feel bad about it. I'm just grateful for your work. You made YouTube usable.
ABIs are not only a quirk of each compiler, rather the ABI can be covered by its own standards document. See for instance the SysV Amd64 ABI specification. One should not have the idea that ABIs are magical or impossible to specify, if it is desired to do so.

There was no glue, you just popped out the back panel and took the battery out with your fingers in 5 seconds.

On the other hand, it did have a plastic cap on the micro USB port which you had to open every time in order to charge it. I'm not sure if this was a limitation of micro USB (or whatever the Samsung-specific extension next to it was) - modern phones with open USB C ports seem to have no problem being waterproof.
Yep, I know. I was just lamenting the loss of the ability to use it in Vanced. Maybe I'll try the Youtube mobile website + Firefox.
I mean, it clearly wasn't directly my responsibility since I wasn't consulted as a major decision maker, but I am an active co-lead developer on the project.

I was told the look into another language was part of "a bake off" between a couple options, and I assumed they'd have a more general meeting/decision before picking. I'd made my general opinion known earlier, but I didn't want to clutter meetings that weren't about the relevant decision by cramming my opinion on the matter into them.

I have no idea if my opinion would have changed things, but I never got the chance to find out. I'd have rather lost an argument where my point of view was heard than just had any objections overridden by default though.

I've asked about the decision later on, but that was after tens of hours of work had gone into the system I disagreed with, so making the case for throwing away most of a week of a couple dev's work is a lot harder to make than pushing to not "waste" that work in the first place.

I've been working remote for 2 years, and the team has been mostly good about it. I bring this up specifically because it's a good example of the pitfalls that can hit even a team that is otherwise doing a good job of remote inclusion.

The whole point is that not having folks as looped in to meetings and choices when you're remote makes it a lot easier to intentionally or accidentally cut people out of important decisions. In this case, now I have to be the disruptive jerk that's going "I don't like this. Stop." if I care, or I just have to go along with the decision.
While they have filters (which I've never known people to replace, but that's not necessarily the hood's fault) and I believe they do something with what passes through them... they unambiguously miss the vast majority of the fumes. Even if you cook with the back burners, a massive amount of heat and steam will flow right around every hood I've run across.
Add to those list of cons that I've been years hopelessly trying to educate YouTube to avoid showing me repeated videos or topics that don't interest me, but they don't care, as long as it increases "engagement", they will do as they please, not as you would.
no one needs this except maybe google. even then if they started today with git maybe they wouldn't have used a monorepo.

> Kyshtym was not actually caused by nuclear waste. In reality, the Russians were keeping hot fuel underground, and cooling it with water,

While I am no means an expert in this incident, your explanation contradicts every source I can find on it. Every single one I've found lists it as a "waste storage tank" that exploded. This paper cites three official reports from three different countries that all attribute the incident to stored nuclear waste. [0]

It's possible you are simply confused here as used fuel rods are a type of nuclear waste and are hot. (Though encyclopedia Britannica specifies that it was liquid nuclear waste, not spent fuel rods, though I am not sure what their source for that claim is.)

If you are going to contradict widely accepted information, you should start by providing sources instead of getting upset at being justifiably called out.

> is just you mis-learning history from HBO

I don't watch HBO (or much TV at all). I am a bit of a nuclear history nerd (though no expert) ever since I was got licensed as a reactor operator decades ago.

> It had nothing to do with nuclear waste. It was a cooling system failure. The blast was 100% non-nuclear.

All the energy that caused the explosion came from nuclear decay. The pressure that that causes nuclear explosions is almost always from the heating of non-nuclear material due to the decay of isotopes, the only different was that there was (presumably) no runaway chain reaction so the energy mostly came from the decay of longer lived isotopes. Either way, it's irrelevant because the explosion itself caused no direct casualties, it was the radioactive contamination spread by the explosion.

> ask yourself why you need to drag out your knowledge of a trivial event 75 years ago, here.

I care about accuracy, which is apparently a vanishing trait these days.

> you have to go back 75 years to find 50 dead folks, and you don't understand what a magically high quality safety record that is, please let other people handle this discussion.

I also agree that nuclear power has a pretty great safety record. I don't believe allowing more misinformation about nuclear power to spread (positive or negative) does anything to help the discussion.

If you are going to change people's minds, I suggest try citing good sources instead of trying to browbeat people like you did in this comment.

As a silver lining to that particular cloud the shitty middleboxes made the case for work resulting from BCP #188 (Pervasive Monitoring Is An Attack) very easy.

It wouldn't be difficult to find engineers at an IETF meeting who aren't very interested in whether Fatemah can send messages to her mother without them being read by her husband - that's a policy problem, not their business. But once they realise the shitty middleboxes to prevent Fatemah from evading her husband's surveillance make their beautiful new protocol design undeployable they're on board with encrypting absolutely everything everywhere all the time.

There’s no upward development of life. We think we’re super clever and advanced for building cars and lightbulbs and such, but there’s nothing beyond us saying that’s good or praiseworthy.

> Who is driving the upward development of life ...

This is begging the question. It presumes a both a who and an intention.

Also, "upward" is an odd take -- spiders / sharks / humans are all equally evolved in that they can trace their lineage to a common ancestor and have been evolving all that time. It seems upward only if one is thinking like that cliched monkey -> caveman -> human illustration.

> Spilling have to be a gas thing?

If you're not spilling, you're not cooking hard enough. :)

Gas does provide easier temperature regulation, as the change is (a) instantaneous; and (b) infinitely fine-grained compared to the average "levels" of an induction stove.

A good gas burner also puts out a more consistent heat pattern, as opposed to the "ring of burning" that is common to most induction cooktops.

But for most things, induction is good enough, and I appreciate the day-to-day versatility of "just wipe it down".
