Well, even mainstream Russian TV started to criticize the war. Recently there were two guests, one a film director and another a member of their Duma (parliament), and they both said the war has to stop (for different reasons). Famously, the director said that the suffering of one group of innocent people (real of alleged - the Russians in Donbas) will not be alleviated by suffering of another innocent group of people. This sane rhetoric is quite rare in public Russian TV so my guess is they are preparing some room for potential retreat, or whatever they will call it.
My state (NJ) doesn’t seem to collect phone number, and either way does not seem to allow one to update their registration record.

That doesn’t stop political parties from blowing up my SMS inbox with daily garbage during election season.

Even if your state allows this edit, why would anyone believe that these scum would respect your wishes and stop spamming the old number?
GPS spoofing has been used for years. It's no secret that Russia (and other countries) have that capability. The system is being hardened with M-code, although that technology isn't widely deployed yet.

It gives you a primer on his thought process and views which is useful to understand the later work. Understanding an author's beliefs can help interpretation of works.
specifically it's a community variant of it. Grant still has his own version (https://github.com/3b1b/manim) where he works independently, and the community fork builds off that and e.g. adds and maintains things Grant might not care about.
So, just to be clear, you've copied in a comment from a random anonymous source, highly voted by other random anonymous people. You're not actually an immunologist that posts on HN (which would probably raise people's likelihood of trusting the comment), the message is actually from a random newspaper commenter, who thinks that bad air in NY when you go outside is a good argument for not increasing air quality inside? And that the NY Times has an agenda to promote induction stoves?

It's weird that they use their immunologist credentials to specifically attack it being worse than second hand smoke (which doesn't seem particularly controversial) as it seems very commonly accepted that it's bad, which you'd think an immunologist would know. Like if you look up any asthma charity for advice on your child's asthma, they're going to have this in the list of avoidable triggers. Why such venom because a reporter has (though probably hasn't) mildly exaggerated a real threat?

It will be fun watching all these big companies try to re-enter Russia in 5-10 years when all this is done and over. I can imagine a Samsung Head of Marketing job interview: “We dumped Russia in 2022 and threw our marketshare into trash, go win it back in 12 months”.
The place I work at (size: couple of thousand employees) has had a 'staff' title for at least a decade, but my impression has always been that it was mostly just the result of "we have enough levels that we want a title above 'senior' and below 'principal'". There's no strong boundary at the 'staff' level -- if you look at the grade criteria there's a fairly clear through line all the way up, with higher grades having more responsibility, wider view of the business, etc, and of course it gets steadily harder to get the promotion.
My family can get jailed for life, and die in the process.

That's not a rhetorical question, I'm dead serious. They have way more chances to stay well and alive during a war, than during the occupation.
You don't need it, but you need to educate users. Help menus are just one way of doing so.
A similar issue can get developers in trouble with dates, specifically the YYYY-MM-DD for a given event. In C# for instance, there used to only be the DateTime, which stored a date AND a time, which was set to 00:00:00. It was on you to know to ignore the time in comparisons and/or always use the DateTime.Date method to compare with a 00:00 DateTime. This was fixed with the introduction of DateOnly (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.dateonly?...).

Databases usually have types to represent just dates or dates/times. Always use the lowest resolution type to represent what you actually are trying to capture.
I’m not as generous as to assume this is innocent ignorance but think it’s often willful and knowing misrepresentation (then amplified and regurgitated by the ignorant, perhaps).
Well, for plain old websites Ruby on Rails I think is on par with ASP.NET MVC.

For Web API maybe Go is a reasonable contender if you put up with the boiler plate and verbosity.

As for mobile apps, I didn't encounter anything as productive as Xamarin while being reasonably multiplatform.

I didn't do desktop apps since ages but I remember QT and Embarcadero's C++ builder as being quite productive.

But one platform to do it all? There isn't other. Javascript is today used everywhere but I wouldn't quite qualify it as productive or performant. And countless frameworks and libraries competing with each other kind of makes it a mess.
I am all for firing EU leadership. But my reasons are probably different to yours. EU style of lockdown was stupid in more than one way. Like prohibition of open air sporting events well into summer of 2020. And then repeating it in 2021. Stay at home and get fat, so you don't catch Covid type of messaging. Completely mishandled public relations in some countries, etc. Ever changing vaccination rules with ever changing validity of Covid greenpass. My greenpass is valid in Slo, but not valid in Ita since January, etc.

I don't know what copium is supposed to mean. However freedom of movement is one of the basic principles of EU. Or at least it used to be.
Former .NET dev. Until recently most of my experience was with .NET. Got into a FAANG level company last year, but I had transitioned out of .NET into doing Python and JavaScript before that.

You can certainly get into FAANG as a .NET dev, but I do think there is still a stigma. Not so much the .NET tech stack itself, but the types of companies that .NET typically get used at.
I think the crucial thing to understand is that current Russia isn’t just some “failed state” - it’s a crime syndicate that, due to historical mistake in 1990, was allowed to get its own country. See this thread for explanations: https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1502673952572854278?s...
The PM never has a good answer, and never has any idea on the problems his answer will cause. If he had an answer, you would receive the situation as a requirement, not as an edge case.

So, if you go ask him, you could as well ask some random strange on the street and it would be as useful.

Some times the end user knows the answer, but very often their opinion is equally useless.
Not writing style. The way he thinks. "Where he's coming from." Some of what his values and worldview are, etc.
Istio was started by Google & IBM, while Envoy was created by Matt Klein at Lyft.

One of the reasons why we adopted Envoy at Ambassador for our API Gateway was precisely because there was no single _commercial_ entity who controlled Envoy.

As a note, technically Google & Lyft are VC-funded, so that’s true, although I wouldn’t put Google in the startup category, and Lyft’s business model is unrelated to Envoy.
Ask HN: How can I debug the microservices from my local workstation?
It seems that Kubernetes, open source will be the new trend in software development. However, I found that the daily debugging of microservices is inconvenient since we should go through the CI/CD process repeatedly. Is there any reliable ways to debug and test without changing the original services in kubernetes clusters?
So, Amazon's business model?
I'd call nonsense on the Keynes point.

Keynes argued for all sorts of things at different points in time. He never observed any sort of Keynesian doctrine or orthodoxy himself. Also, the actual money system was very varied across his career, so prescriptions differ. The current monetary order wasn't something he dealt with at a large scale.

In any case, I'm pretty sure Keynes would have called bullshit on the way public debt is quantified or defined today. IE, the sum of money "owed" by Germany or Italy to the ECB would not have worried Keynes... though I think he would have been very interested.

Just to be clear, the a priori conservative hypothesis was that 2022 levels of debt are not just morally bad... they're an economic impossibility. Well...
> There’s really no such thing as exact time. The closest is UT1, and it’s not really practical for normal applications.

I would have defined TAI (International Atomic Time) as "exact time". Of course with it being an average of clocks it only really exists in hindsight and isn't perfect either, but if you only need accuracy on the order of hundreds of nanoseconds and are on earth's surface it's very practical and easy to get anywhere with a GPS receiver.

And UTC is only slightly more messy, with its offset from TAI to keep it in sync with unpredictable UT1.
Hey! Greetings, everyone! If you are in a desperate need of company and financial data, you can get it easily via Finnworlds API and Databases. There is a big variety of data products like: company information, financial statements, SEC filings, financial ratios, ETFs, mutual funds, technical indicators, stock identifiers, analyst ratings, stock search trends and macro trends.
I would guess they did not have the timing right with the advent of 3G internet with minimum viable bandwidth to be able to operate things like maps and GPS and payment processing in real time, combined with the advent of usable mobile phones with sufficient qualities of battery life, touch screen sizes, and computing power.

The 2007 to 2012 period was a perfect storm of bringing together connectivity with never before utility from newly developed devices, and if you were in the right place at the right time to stake a claim, then you had significant first mover advantages.

It was discovering new land that had not been settled yet, similar to when computing and society advanced to allow for computers in every home, and then internet connectivity, and then finally, 24/7 computing plus internet computing in your pocket.

Of course, having deep, deep pockets to hire the people at the forefronts of this land rush is also a huge advantage.
Based on the title, I assumed it was going to be about modernizing the Lynx browser.
In what way is shipping fuel expected to get cheaper?

I’m not aware of any significant and serious efforts to replace ships with a green fuel, and they comprise a huge percentage of our emissions.
You're not always allowed to put them into electric sockets and turn them on all at once, though. There's usually special electric wiring done to handle the load of electric stoves.

This must be regional. My experiences are from the U.S., New Zealand, and Australia. Terrible, miserable service. I hate the old taxi industry in a very visceral way. If you're seeing good/better service in your location, and they cost much less than Uber, I imagine they have no issues staying commercially viable and you'll be able to keep enjoying their services.
And for something as "simple" as S3 how much is it gonna cost to get your data back out when you need to leave?
Planes trapped in Russia highlight legal risks for leased aircraft
I am currently working on a product which followed what you mentioned above. The problem we ran into is what the author of the article highlights. You cannot convert stored UTC times to local timezones reliably wihtout additional information.

For example, for a conference whose starting time is stored as 14:00 Hrs UTC (0900 Hrs America/New_York) before DST, will suddenly start at 10:00 Hrs America/New_York after DST. Coincidentally, we just redid our implementation to follow Option 3 before New York's DST kicks in and it works as expected so far.

Please correct me if my understanding of your method is incorrect.
I did the same thing and hard forced myself to code in VS Code and now I'm fully comfortable working in VS Code on macOS.

The main stumbling blocks are really around debugging setup. A lot of stuff that VS IDE proper sets up for you automatically you have to manually wire up in VS Code.
I spent a year and a bit raging at the electric hob in my rented flat every time I cooked something. Replaced it with dual ring plug in induction hob and it’s better in every way, I’m actually able to cook food in a controlled manner again rather than endlessly pulling pans on and off the hob to compensate for a lack of power control.
To extend my comment: notice how the tech on the left side was/is usually backed up by companies or corporations while the tech on the right side usually is not. I think this is just a natural flow of software: some piece of software emerges for the benefit of a big corp disguised as open source… and suddenly everyone uses it. It takes some time to the “internet community” to come up with something better and less tied to any company in particular. It’s a win for everyone: Google is having his piece of cake with GKE now, the community thanks the effort and will use k8s as an inspiration to make something better.
I was too young to fully remember them, but his article brought the 60’s to mind. The same decision remains: you can make money or you can make a difference. Or, if you don’t like that sentence, how about: to change the world you have to be willing to try.

I am writing about Ryan air or Southwest those companies did nothing to on R&D for flights.

No one is accusing them that we don't have a Moon colony because they are doing what they do.

Author is accusing application operating company that there is not enough innovation because of them. So it seems author just took Uber marketing division where they shout about "innovation" seriously.

There are companies that are doing actual R&D and Uber is buying services/goods from them, so it is like Southwest buying Boeing planes is actually paying R&D costs of coming up with better planes.

Also author is making point that somehow there is not enough innovation - well I have different point of view - whole innovation happened and made it possible to operate something like Uber. Smartphones and mobile connectivity with GPS is the innovation that was not as widespread 20 years ago, heck even 10 years ago things were still starting up.
Whenever I read something in one of these left-wing cultural publications like the Atlantic it always reads like a 12-year old discovering history for the first time, and then they talk as though the stuff they discovered is some kind of amazing gotcha, but which is actually stuff that literally everyone who occasionally reads right-wing cultural publications has heard a thousand times. And then they, invariably, misinterpret their new found knowledge for whatever political end they desire.

Anyway, Adam Smith was from the ruling, landed classes in Britain. He was a natural enemy of the capitalist classes, who were, at the time, fighting to overthrow them and bring classical liberalism and internationalism to the world. It isn't at all surprising that he had bad things to say about capitalists. What is truly interesting about Smith's work is all the good things he had to say about what capitalism was bringing to the world. He was simply describing what he saw at the time, which makes it extremely different to later philosophers who tried to both describe what they saw, and hypothesize some amazing future like seers.

As for this guys claim that today's globalization is like the mercantilism of antiquity, it really is just not a good take. They are almost diametrically opposite. The entire point of free markets and free trade is to put a stop to all the corruption that he mentions in this article. yes some still seeps through but it is a million times worse under mercantilism, as he does rightly recount. Just because some bad things still exist under today's free market economy, doesn't mean mercantilism and free markets are the same thing.
You should consult a lawyer on this. They'll be able to give advice tailored for your specific situation.

For example, some states have laws saying IP assignments in employment contracts aren't enforceable for work done on your own time and equipment if it's unrelated to your employer's business (e.g., California[0], North Carolina[1]). Depending on your situation, you'll want a professional to assess whether your plan qualifies for that.

A lawyer can also help assess your risk level. Just because your employer would probably lose a lawsuit doesn't mean they couldn't cause you a lot of trouble suing you anyway.

In my IANAL opinion, the answer by @greenyoda[2] indicates an LLC is probably not appropriate protection for this specific concern. An LLC only protects you if you don't "pierce the veil"; that is, if you can show in court that you as a person and you as a company deserve to be treated as legally separate entities. There are lots of ways to mess that up, especially for one-person LLCs.

I'd expect that if you work for a small company, your risk level is low in any case unless you're directly competing. A tiny company has better things to do than pay for lawyers trying to seize an app that has nothing to do with their business. But BigCo, with an on-staff legal team, may be less reluctant.

You can also consider just asking your boss if the company would agree agree, in writing, that the company releases all claims to your side project.

> Well, let's start with commodities. They have value, see, and that value contains both the exchange value and the use value

Worth remembering also, that what you call "exchange value" is essentially a derivative of what you call "use value". I can use (eat) a side of beef. I cannot eat 50 sides of beef before it spoils. To get any value at all our of the other 49 sides of beef I have to find a market (49 other people who want to eat beef) and exchange it for something else. If there is no "use value" though, there's no market. Exchange value (prices) will change based on market conditions, but use value only changes with occasional technological innovation (freezers to freeze your beef, new industrial or chemical uses for gold, etc).

This is where fiat currencies come in. Fiat currencies like the US$ have a "use value", and that use is legally settling debts (being legal tender[0]), and paying my taxes (which actually are debts).

In any case, I think the extreme gold bugs who see fiat currencies all collapsing and gold going to the moon really over-estimate the market demand for gold in any scenario where shit hits the fan that bad. I mean, one way or another, whatever Government is in power is going to want to eat 25-50% of your income in taxes, regardless of what currency you use.

[0] Many people also misunderstand what "legal tender" means. The Bank of England has a good explanation of this: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/knowledgebank/what-is-legal-...

Kubernetes is the new tech your are looking for. It's not simpler, because it _needs_ to be complex in order to provide portable, heterogeneous, application deployments.

How was it before ? A bunch of unstandardized shell scripts and ansible playbooks that you could not reliably automate, let alone port to a different topology ? How could we possibly use that ?
TL;DR;

- Use OpenID tokens instead of secrets

- Use Istio instead of ingress

- Use Knative
The dig about Envoy doesn’t read true to me. Envoy was open sourced by Lyft in 2017 and quickly replaced Haproxy in our stack because it was Good. Is there actually a venture backed startup steering it these days?
Theory of the Nudnik: The Future of Consumer Activism (2020) [pdf]
> Linux is still ubiquitous, and part of our stack, but few developers care much about it because we have since added a few abstractions on top. It's the same that will happen to the traditional Kubernetes we know today.

I think the tone of the article writes this as a positive, but I do not see this as a good thing. Looking at the ecosystem of k8s today, all that has happened is the same concepts that existed in OSes have been reinvented. This future abstraction sounds like yet another migration, but I wasn't able to tell what the net benefit was aside from addressing some intellectual or academic concerns (x should not y).

I'll definitely try to keep my mind open, but, to borrow a sentence pattern often used in the post, more abstractions should not be seen as a better thing.
JSON is already 20 years old. I guess things can’t stay the way they are forever (and 20 years in the IT world is a lot).
Yeah we need innovation in Lens. And some other breakthrough with sensors. But I dont see anything coming within the next 3 years though.
