Some of the stories coming out of Ukraine are implausible, yes, but I wouldn't say 'quite a bit'. We have huge amounts of on the ground reports on social media from ordinary Ukrainians, and these reports are very consistent. That would be impossible for the government to co-ordinate. My girls play internet video games and in the early days you could talk on chat servers to Ukrainian kids about what was happening.

The only way to spin a false narrative is thorough censorship and control of the internet and public media, and we just don't have that in the west. We do have high levels of surveillance, and a tiny amount of editorialising on social media compared to Russia and China, but not state censorship and suppression capable of obstructing public discourse.
You know, there's information war on both sides, so all your assertions might have to be nuanced.

And even if the facts are 100% true, it doesn't mean automatically that they want terror. They might just be helpless about it (doesn't excuse it of course).
I sympathize with your consternation about there not being any “outrage” because you are clearly understanding the hypocrisy of the “outrage” that exists about other things. I must assume based on your short statement though that you are not aware that the “outrage” is wholly astroturfed and essentially a weapon system in order to activate another weapon system called public opinion. Until one understands who, how, and why those two loops are controlled, everything else regarding public opinion space is a dead end matter.

Just take the current Ukraine topic that the public has been whipped into a hate-week type frenzy about that reminds me of post-9/11 (if most here are even old enough to have first hand memories of that, or know what the hate-week references); that conflict is now at least 8 years old, when the USA and “collective west” launched a despotic coup against the country to install a friendly government, while crying out “our democracy”, followed with 8 years of atrocities against people in the eastern part of the country that no longer wanted to be a part of that and chose to vote to peacefully separate. Most people so outraged about “Ukraine” have no clue what they are supporting or doing or even that they were totally ignorant of atrocities happening for the last 8 years.

They don’t even know where Yemen is, or the 5 Ws, because the TV programming has not programmed them to in order to serve the interests of the programmers of humans.
Apple supplier Foxconn shuts plants as Covid outbreak in China grows
An ocean with large pockets of powerful currents that are very hard to swim against, to stay in the image. Yes, everything is qualia/sensation/thought, and I get the appeal of the concept of "OMG, by me writing this and you reading it I just literally changed your brain!". But not every state of our brain/consciousness is the same, not every state allows for the same movement of the fish.

There's a higher-level interpretation of what the term "state of consciousness" means to many people. Not a "state of the brain, like a state of a cellular automaton" but instead a section in the incredibly high-dimensional space of possible brain states that greatly facilitates going to other interesting positions, i.e. thoughts or experiences.
I personelly use Trello and making a tick helps me to follow up on many stuff. I create diff. boards for diff. categories and I found this to be the best way.

Would I take a 20% raise for a new job? I guess.

But.

But not if I'm going to hate the new job. Not if the people suck. Not if the company is hopelessly mired in bureaucratic process, not if they can't do continuous improvement and continuous delivery.

I would be looking for good experience with good engineering practices.

I would be looking for "autonomy, mastery, purpose" - look it up.

I would be looking for working for a company that builds something that I think the world is better off having.

In other words, I'm fortunate enough to be at a point where I can think of things besides only "need more money". If I'm in the market for "I can do better" then simply more cash is not the only factor for "better".

That doesn't mean the MVP is a bad idea, then. That means it's being poorly implemented.
I can't see anything in your linked videos. In any case, dumb unguided bombs are not the same as deliberately targeting civilians.

I also don't won't to take sides here, I merely point out that the information is rather one-sided.

I personally also can not verify for example of that children's hospital had military stuff going on or not.

Pagerank was initially a game changer until it became common knowledge that sites/pages need links to rank.

Being able to set up thousands of sock puppet accounts on Reddit/Twitter/wherever would be the logical consequence if this algo was implemented.

Very true. I think that two bad options for dealing with burnout are rage quitting without another job lined up and getting fired for show. They put you in a worse negotiating position and set you up to be burned out again when you're bitter about not getting paid enough.

Let's build a bird modem, and let them join Twitter!

It would also be quite fun to make a user interface where a bird could "fly" through Google Street View, and sense the location changing based on an electromagnet instead of the magnetic north pole that they normally use for navigation.

Since August 2021, I've been trying to apply UncleBob's advice to "clean as you go" (Scout Rule) and picking up litter while biking to work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSaAMQVq01E&t=2021s

The birds have been particularly friendly and thankful. Pigeons and Pūkekos help pick up food from the ground. They're all surprisingly trusting (especially if I have some fish & chips to share). Seagulls look down, and shout about litter. Sparrows are smaller, faster, and have lower energy requirements, so eat smaller pieces of food.

So while I'm going around looking to pick up biohazard waste (used masks in bushes), the birds are helping, and it would be so nice to let them chat to each other, even if we don't understand their QPSK or other encoding schemes. Parrots get so bored in cages, let's put them on the Internet :)

Social Meia and search engines are downranking or censoring it, though. All I see (without TV) is general statements like Putin saying "war is going great".
An unkown person asks you to inject code in your browser.

When there's a buyer's market for talent, making the raise process difficult and slow is a negotiating tactic on the part of the corporation.

Instead of telling your employees "no" you can tell them "ask again in 6 months" because of the "budget process" or "headcount approval" or "appraisal process" or "salary bands" or "fixed pool for raises" or some other nonsense, as a soft way of refusing their request. Junior managers will be able to deliver that message sincerely, because they genuinely believe it. Maybe the company finds there's a good chance the employees stay around.

Of course, if the job market favours workers this tactic doesn't work any more. But how many companies are agile enough to respond quickly to changing employment market conditions?

I suggest everyone to read all the religious books, they give good insights on the current geopolitical issues

It's interesting how things are starting to diverge between US's church and Israel, i wonder if they'll stay allies in the near future

Maybe that explain why Israel is trying to ease things with Putin, because they don't mind that much what they are doing in Syria

I wish Hackernews would stick to tech/science stuff, politics/religion only seeks for that kind of comments, nobody is ready to hear/debate about that kind of stuff, they'll censor right away
>> However, those claiming fraud in the 2020 elections claimed "absolute proof" of fraud (Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy's, words)

And the other side claimed absolute proof of no fraud?
I’m not sure that things are sustainable. COVID was just one more stressor. Wages have been rising for software people since long before COVID, and the average tenure of engineers has been 2 years or less, for close to a decade. The entire industry is formed around it.

This (IMNSHO) has led to many, many problems, like project architectures, designed to compensate for many engineers of mixed skill levels, working on the code, 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.

It’s nice to think about making lots of money, but I prefer writing and delivering projects that make me proud, and that I design and implement from napkin sketch to shrink-wrap. I don’t find it attractive at all, to contemplate an industry that is totally focused on keeping developers happy, because it won’t keep all developers happy; just ones that “play the game.”

But I will definitely have a look at the references you have given. Hopefully that will give me a more intuitive understanding. Thanks.

For someone not interested in harming civilians, they're doing an amazing job at it.

On the other hand, 10-20% of successful claims being fraudulent sounds plausible: I could easily see there being one successful scammer for every ten genuine applicants, and the scammer claiming 1-2x as much on average.

The number is mostly so large because it's 10% of an even bigger number, the amount CA pays in unemployment claims, which is not in dispute.

Thanks for answering the question I and many other devs immediately had: how does that number break down?
but if you really like your job you should be aware of the risk

I get your last line, I really do. But what I and many others have found by going through this COL raise cycle several times is that leaving for a role that offers 30%+ total comp isn't much of a risk. Think of what that offer signals. It's not just money. Does anyone really think that a company willing to make an offer like that is going to be a worse place to work at compared with your previous company in terms of non-salary perks, benefits, and quality of projects?

I would do the "look at the server RAM disappear like a magic trick! ...and now the whole server is gone!" demo to really drive the point home, but that happens around the 200K-1M object level (depending on the software).

About 50% of the time there would be a senior developer there who would just slowly blink at me and suggest the "solution" of cutting down the directory to a more manageable size, like 50 users.

Like... yeah buddy. We'll just delete 99.975% of the user accounts in the directory system because you learned programming from a "4 Dummies" book.
Let's just not forget that the US bombed Iraq (including its civilian infrastructure!) so much during the 13 previous years, and also imposed sanctions that delayed any Iraqi recovery. Ukraine, despite its obvious problems is not in this situation. Russia would have probably been able to decapitate the Ukr gov in a week in 2014, though.

S300 is just the "brand". They have been upgraded over the years and it's a whole family. Of course it all depends on what version Ukraine has. I can't believe NATO would not love to have their hands on one, even an older generation one.

Edit: It looks like Greece ( a NATO member) also has S300
( How did that happen !!?? ) and Turkey ( also NATO member)
has the S400. Not sure if Turkey would allow close examination of their S400 capabilities, even as a NATO
member.
This was responding to a comment saying that the cost was justified by logistics issues even if the part itself was dirt cheap. The fact that you can in fact find way cheaper parts shows that the logistic argument is BS.

They don’t really have an airborne either. Reality us that the SA Air Force is little more than a cover operation for the American empire. America is paying for it and without direct American support the SA Air Force would not be able to sustain itself mere weeks before consequences started emerging. The Yemen war is an American war, only with Saudi puppets.
Nice! Worth reading?
Hard lockdowns and aggressive contact tracing are incredibly effective when case numbers are very low. Contact tracing in particular becomes significantly less effective as case numbers climb.

What they are hoping to accomplish with these measures is to stop the current outbreak in its tracks and return to low-to-zero daily case numbers.

At some point they will fail to contain an outbreak (either intentionally or accidentally) and then the case numbers will skyrocket in a very short period of time.

I think Russian actions in Chechnya, Syria and Ukraine and USSR actions everywhere they went are very good proof they want terror.

I mean how do you accidentally destroy maternity ward of a hospital? How likely is that to be an accident and opposed to deliberate terror bombing?

And then there's the kidnapping of Ukrainian officials and replacing them with collaborants. That is deliberate terror tactics as well. Watching them in action makes me thing their approach didn't really change since their Katyn days.

But I live in a place Russians visited in 1968 leaving in the 90's so you could say I'm biased.
I hate that in Portugal everyone is now a "collaborator" instead of an employees.

in australia it is standard for all full time permanent roles to have 20 days paid leave a year, in addition to national/state holidays (there are about 10 of these). moreover, if you have accrued a balance of leave when you quit your job, you get paid out for it.

having "unlimited leave" where you can't cash it out if you don't use it seems pretty bogus.
in case of fixed interest rates I guess so... yachts for everyone!
Whenever I'm trying get something perfect which is already in a working state, I remind myself that "cost of perfection is infinity". This helps me. Still I feel itchy when spotting an improvement and not doing it.

I have no idea what he means by the 'language is the IDE'. (And I'm using single quotes, because that's my understanding, not his words, which may show that I understand even far less than what the article espouses.)

To my understanding, IDEs are environments - which can stand independent of the language.

To give an analogy: if music is a 'language', I can write/record in with whatever DAW/'IDE' I supposed fit the case - e.g. Reaper, Protools, FL Studio, Garageband, etc. I therefore find it really difficult to grok what it means to have an IDE so closely attached to the language. (In which case we'd have an equivalent to programming in Java, where because of its verboseness, programming in it without an IDE can be an absolute nightmare.)

There's that, and how, from his explanation, it means that no-code is basically a mix-and-match coding solution. Outside of specialized tools for a special purpose (e.g. the Blueprint Visual Scripting system in Unreal Engine) I don't imagine this as a general-purpose tool will succeed at all.

This is true, but it’s not a new concept, at all. Steve McConnell wrote about this, a quarter-century ago, in Software Quality at Top Speed[0].

Also, I’ve found that, even if you do a great job of gathering requirements, no one likes it, when you give them exactly what they asked for. I’ve taken to using what I call “Evolutionary Design”[1]; where the entire design “morphs,” during development.

The European energy crisis is mainly one of supply - most of Europe chose to be dependent on Russia for their gas supply despite US warnings that Russia would use that to try and get away with invading neighbouring countries, and now they have there isn't enough gas available and it will take years to build and switch to new sources. (The market was already pretty tight due to a higher-than-expected surge in demand after all the lockdowns.) So quality of living and real-terms wages after inflation have to go down for most people because there isn't the energy to support their old quality of life. It's possible that developers and other Big Tech employees will manage to dodge this, but there's no guarantee of that.
