No one is forcing them to retire, I for one would be interested to see what these productive people would come up with when they shift their goal from making a great profit to making a great social impact.
You should never add something coming from Facebook without quite some hesitation. Their mantra "move fast and break things" broke more things than they could have imagined. GraphQL isn't great, it isn't even average. It's actually pretty terrible. It's just another query language and actually you don't need it. Steer clear from it.
the worst part about this is, most Russians in the west are basically asylum seekers now. their state went full totalitarian in the last couple weeks. i'm trying hard to make delimit the difference between Russians and Putin, but it's hard to get ordinary people to listen. MSM does not like nuance at all.
It was a multinational coalition led by America. Not just America...
Exactly. We tell Elon Musk "hey buddy, you did amazing with Paypal, but that's enough, we're forcing you to retire."
Sorry but how is Finland even close to relevant here?
I agree with you, but I don't think that's a reason not to do this. It's an arms race, but the only alternative is not to play, and live with shit content. We'll figure out the next move after this one gets gamed.
It's interesting that a technology (crocheting) used in fishing communities for millennia and a pattern ("granny squares") used in furniture making for centuries can be traced back to American pioneers after the commercial revolution.

I have no doubt it's true that granny squares made out of commercial yarn only developed in the 19th century after commercial yarn became available, and patterns only became published after mass-market magazines became widely available. I'm more skeptical that the technique of crocheting, a technology used to make and mend fish nets, was not in use by the distaff side of a household long before that and the the relatively obvious way of making piecework using homespun yarn and hooking through the holes of a previous row was not common among groups of otherwise-idle hands. Techniques and patterns have long been passed on orally.

Unfortunately history of textiles and domestic arts is pretty much entirely unrecorded and unstudied because it doesn't tend to leave much hardware lying around. There are 25000-year-old spindle whorls sitting beside rough-knapped stone axes, shure, but a wooden crochet hook? Rotted away. Sheep-wool granny squares? Eaten by moths. Oral history? Unheard.
You feel that way now, but humans are social creatures. Interacting with others will change how you feel.
Look up Jonathan Pageau. Also checkout Tom Holland's "Dominion".

A "Christian Atheist" is a modern phenomenon, and our materialist culture is the heart of that perspective and one that's deeply misunderstood and flawed.

I'd argue St. Paul and other biblical era scholars would find a western atheist not only very Christian, but also having a very childish and ignorant understanding of reality.

When everything is a thing, we have no room to see the fractal nature of happenings through time and synchronicity up and down layers of abstraction. Reality is just as much an interactive story between narrative and conscious threads as it is space/time, matter/energy. We've lost the first personal perspective of that with our modern "atheism".
Yes, also know as Flyweight pattern from GOF. Used in latency sensitive systems like trading engines.
Establishing an internet connection with a local ISP manually by connecting to a modem via a serial terminal with a tty char device/com port, sending AT commands, logging in, and then starting a PPP session and mapping that to network interface. Also transferring files via ZMODEM.
I wouldn't necessarily say you have to pivot out of development. Plenty of gray beard developers out there. At 25, I hadn't even started programming professionally!

It really just depends what you want to do.
> Where have you been

I was always there, speaking out against propaganda, maybe you can check my post history.

And I don't know what you're on, but "everybody read the same western articles and are attributing the whole dissent within Europe/US to Russia" is utterly wrong. HN is becoming a very scary, far too pro-Russia place since the past week or so now that the Russians have gotten a better handle on their propaganda. If you have doubts, you can look at my post's score which is hovering around zero, constantly being voted up and down.

Opinion in Europe is extremely anti-Russia at this point, but I see that the US media is coming back to its old habits pitting controversy for the sake of clicks.

As a result, US opinion went from overwhelmingly anti-Russia to "maybe they're not all bad I mean let's just look at what we did before oh well" in the span of a few days.
> So now it's just OK to seize private property of individuals without any even pretend due process?

> And now we have american media platforms saying 'yeah, it's fine to call for death to Russians'.

You're absolutely right in both regards but please do not conflate those two.

I'll weep zero tears over Putin's rich friends not being able to play with their yacht anymore, but common Russians having to leave their home country and suffering from heinous mob mentality outside have my dearest sympathy.
Well, not much to add to what jkulubya said, but: Just use Web, then - that's what it's for and it just worksTM.

We have almost your exact scenario in production - a (Quartz.NET-based) service for background/scheduled jobs, with a web dashboard and a healthcheck API, all from a single console executable without external dependencies. And it was super straightforward to implement.
Then just look at Elon Musk's and Bill Gates' projects. One is weaning us off hydrocarbons, the other is curing disease.
Put the cap on assets. They should be able to make all the money in the world as long as they spend it too.
Even the UK numbers of < 1% is an order of magnitude less.
Well, it doesn't seem to me that Apple has backed this new technology with any significant app that makes use of it.
And I don't see any serious app in the apple store that makes use of lidar either.
> Veloren's compile time is bad, but this is hyperbolic nonsense.

Eh, I just tried it because I was curious about M1-ready builds, and:

Finished dev [optimized] target(s) in 5m 08s
veloren on  master via v1.59.0-nightly took 5m18s

5 minutes doesn't sound bad to me. Mostly because I remember how long it took me to compile Gnome back in the day :')

Meta-analysis suggests psychopathy may be an adaptation, rather than a disorder
If you weren't just interested in derailing the conversation, you would have looked up how this stacks up with a better index. I did, so you might be cheered to know that the S&P 500, a cutting edge market-weight based broad index, dropped 20.2% from 1990-07-03 to 1990-10-11 compared to the DJIA's 18%.
I am sorry but the world has always been this way. Countries with actual power used to take away far more than what is being done right now. The US (and the West) has been trying to do what is right which is doing it without devastations of wars. People forget the US military is good enough to wipe out 1/2 of the world within weeks. Would you rather have that? Or some bank accounts getting frozen? Your take is extremely naive.
As opposed to the humble hermits who reject modern technology and will still suffer from the climate change shitshow?
Yes, calibre is a powerful tool. However not all content can (or should) go via it.

My specific use case is something like the integration that Pocket has with Kobo ebook readers: I see an article I want to read on the internet, I add it to Pocket and then at my next sync I can read it on my device.

An email that Amazon controls is no replacement for a proper API. Having tools to convert to mobi is not a replacement for supporting open ebook formats.
You've ignored the strong positive message set across a variety of output currently visible to everyone with access to bbc.co.uk and countered it with a an unreferenced description of an article (the HN comment has no title or link) and a potential factual omission from an interview (with no external reference to confirm).

(I don't work for the BBC and internal matters are somewhat opaque to the outside world, but even the Pride issue seems to have been some poor interpretation of a brand new guideline by someone internally that was spun into a bigger story and dealt with within a few days - https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54749024)

I'm still struggling to see the evidence for a war.
Last couple of years big tech in America became quasi state actors, we are seeing it now on social media but the last election was a glaring example.
> My take is that a good Product manager is worth their weight

A good X is worth their weight. Sure, any good professional is always welcome, but in regular team in a regular company, regular PMs are mostly dead weight (in contrast, regular devs are just good-enough devs).
The simple fact that the term oligarch has come to be assumed to be preceded by the term Russian, as in the title, speaks volumes.

Honest question: Are Russian oligarchs more tied to the Russian gov't than in the USA, like how the RBN is more tied to gov't than American counterparts such as Pegasus/etc.
> These days, authorities are also investigating XVideos. Survivors of sexualized violence are going public.

Are we going to sue Twitter too for keeping videos of killed Russian and Ukrainian people ? Because XVideos as far as I know is not only about sexualized violence.
It's too late to prepare. The hard economic times are already here. You can still do things, of course, but you should have started doing them weeks ago.

So here goes.

It's reasonable to pull your fiat and putting it into something hard, like physical silver. Not bars, but the smallest units of coins you can get.

Insurances and other stuff that relies on the stock market are going to go bust, so you might want to consider cancelling.

I advise against gold, because governments everywhere could decide post-crash that your Gold belongs to them. It's not unprecedented. There's no guarantee they will pay you for it with whatever money we'll get to use post-crash. When trading Gold is outlawed, your Gold becomes basically worthless.

There's far lower risk for that to happen with Silver. Gold seems to be a great short term investment right now, with the chance of Gold shooting up relatively soon relatively quickly being ... uh ... relatively high. So for short term greed definitely an option, but in current times I wouldn't bet anything on it for the long term.

This is for preserving your wealth and moving it post-crash.

Then, of course, comes food and water. Everything that keeps long-time is good. Given that your fiat is going to go poof, spending a lot of money on food that lasts isn't a bad idea. Worst case you'll have long lasting food you don't need, best case you have food.

Then there's cooking. Ignoring that power is getting more and more expensive, there's no guarantee you won't be suffering from BlackOuts, where ever you live. Personally I've bought a few tanks of propane gas, which doesn't go bad and lasts for a long time. It's like camping. Gas + Cooker.

If you can find anything useful regarding solar, then go for it as well. Always have more than one options available. It's important to never bank on a single thing working out as hoped.

I advise for keeping a few months worth of money on your bank account. You know, regular payments, etc, but the majority should be converted into something you actually can own. That includes cryptos. There's little reasoning to believe that people won't jump into cryptos just as much as hard assets.

In case prices drop: don't sell. In case prices shoot up after the drop (or without the drop), consider not selling silver/cryptos for a currency that's going to go poof anyway unless you have really good use for that fiat.

It's not about getting rich, it's about having something you can sell for the new money, post-crash.

I strongly advise AGAINST hoarding things with the idea of selling them to others who need them. When shit really hits the fan, these people will be overrun and killed by the angry, hungry, desperate mob.

Yes, the world and the people really are in that bad of a shape right now.

Think about everything and do not do panic actions.

Talk to others about what they think.

Do not let yourself be hindered in thinking about this.

Don't believe anyone who tells you it'll be fine anyway, because the risk isn't worth the short bliss of ignorance until reality smacks you in the skull with a metal baseball bat.
Priors:

70% that this is biased marketing paper.

70% that most sources for this meta study are very biased.

Reason:

- Two authors work for or a company that sells saffron products for medicinal use.

- same company funded this meta study.

- meta study uses mostly Iranian studies.

- Iran accounts for 90 percent of annual safron world production

Temperature & DPA have to be talked about together. I think Abdou's point is that you can replace the blanket more often and target ~20 DPA to reduce the mean-time-between-failures (MTBF). From the PDF:

"Results show: anticipated MTBF is hours/days (required is years), and MTTR is
3-4 months (required is days), and availability is very low < 5%"

I don't have a problem with talking about MTBF and replacing blankets etc but we are talking about research, not a reactor.

Also of note look at the MTBF of magnets and cryogenics in this system! (1.14years and 0.57 years)
Being able to disable GC would be great for WASM clients! Would solve the Blazor WASM perf issue.

.NET was already used for systems level programming, you can read about an operating system build in it called Midori, by MS for research. While slower for some things it was actually faster for other things due to being able to make smarter runtime analysis than VMless code.. there's a fascinating series of articles about it floating around online.
If someone need to take pain medication in order to get money something is distinctly wrong.
> So it all boils down to "but I am right, trust me, my bigotry is totally justified"

Are you suggesting here that bigotry against Nazis is not justified? Or if not then what argument are you making? What do you hope to achieve with it? Nazis will always argue freedom of expression and make the argument you are making while it benefits them. They were democratically elected after all. But this doesn't mean they actually believe them. It's going to get thrown out the window the moment they are put in a position of power. Good on you for supporting that I guess?
One example where there was a relationship:

https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/prosecutor-wont-charge-...

The developers had put things like teacher's SSNs into base64 strings by using asp.net's viewstate functionality, making it all publicly accessible.

I guess not the best example since it was probably accidental obfuscation via base64, with that obfuscation making the leak hard to spot for the probably inexperienced dev team.
Not only that, but the analysis seems to be based on rather small sample studies, all based in Iran, the worlds largest saffron exporting country.

At least they state this caveat themselves "Larger clinical trials, conducted by research teams outside of Iran, with long-term follow-ups are needed before firm conclusions can be made regarding saffron's efficacy and safety for treating depressive symptoms."

This is not news worthy at all.
So much complicated advice in this thread, wow.

Keep it simple: do things that let you accumulate cash, so if you lose your job you won't also immediately get kicked out of your house and you'll have reserves to draw on. Consider that you might need to re-train etc.

Just build your savings. Don't do risky things that add to the complexity and your stress levels. Avoid crypto in particular.

I also have a family and I've been building cash.

Also: ignore people who tell you cash is bad because of inflation. Inflation is an effect that's known. Risks of various investments are combinations of "can be known" and "unknowable". Cash is king!
That's cool. I'm glad there are still people interested in photography for its own sake instead of posing for Instagram!
So what you're saying is that the West should allow Russia to do whatever it likes from now on because the US invaded Iraq, and to do otherwise would be hypocritical.

Ok. If that's the case, then Russia's actions justify any action the West ever takes in the future. There are no rules, all bets are off, and all war crimes are justified henceforth. Including the use of nuclear weapons, which was normalized in 1945, and the use of biological and chemical weapons as normalized in World War 1.

You wont' complain if any nation - the US, Israel, anyone - invades a sovereign nation and slaughters civilians because that's been normalized and is now justified, correct? And nothing - absolutely nothing - is more important than not being a hypocrite, correct?

Actually, now that I think about it, since the US wasn't even the first country to invade Iraq or Afghanistan to begin with, their actions were already justified. It's not as if the US created imperialism or war, so what are people even trying to accomplish pointing out America's flaws? It's been normalized for thousands of years, what's the problem?
It's not Google, it's the embedded space in general. I don't think even the Nokia N900 ran a mainline kernel when it was current.
It works especially well when the enemy is somewhat predefined by the media and the general tropes and narratives in movies, games, books. The Chinese are evil, so are the Russians. Everyone knows that. Or Middle Eastern guys. They could be terrorists. All evil, we are good. Did you ever think that a Dutch or an Italian girl could be bad?

I told my child to say that she has Ukranian roots (which she has, my grandmother is from Ukraine) and deny her Russian roots after she was bullied last week in school. I tried to explain to her the situation and the motivation of those bullies.

I also deny my Russian roots in the volunteer group I support in my city here in Germany. They need Ukrainian/Russian speaking people to help to translate. When I first joined the coordination zoom chat of one group and it was my turn to introduce myself and mentioned my Russian roots (to explain why I speak Russian), I got banned. I later joined another group and there only mentioned my Ukrainian heritage. Now every day I help as a translator for the people who come to my city and I am very happy to do that.
And one of the ways they're trying to keep from joining and turning it in to ww3 is confiscating the opponent's rich people's toys.

The combination of "notable effects" and "very high consistency" is pretty rare among supplements. I should eat more saffron...
What the hell are you talking about? Your post is extremely difficult to even parse.

Let's be clear, there are war crimes happening daily in Ukraine and there is NOTHING normalized around this. The US having done it before doesn't make it fucking normal, but it also doesn't mean the top priority now is to talk about US war crimes.

Nope I've had vegetables at top class restaurants so my cooking abilities are irrelevant to my claim that (on average) meat takes less effort to cook and still tastes better. I enjoy all the food I cook, I just enjoy meat more and doubt I'm the minority, but thanks for condescending.
Well then, don't act surprised when all Western companies and assets get nationalized.
If you went into fixed interest rate debt before a period of inflation, you're likely to be fine.

Yes, but there's never any good reason to bring up DJIA unless you're a TV reporter who needs a big number, so I think it's always a good deed to complain about it.
Huh, turns out my understanding of how it worked was wrong: in things like for loops, it takes the last value encountered. I should have anticipated that, really, given that “last expression” isn’t generally a thing in JavaScript anyway (it’s statement-oriented, not expression-oriented), so javascript: URIs (and I guess on* event handler attributes too, I know they’re a bit weird too) were clearly doing something clever and not-usual-JavaScript. I should delve into specs until I can find it; it seems like it’s at least mildly expression-oriented in character.

I retract the first paragraph of my earlier comment with an apology.
SaaS Boilerplate
well, offtop by Russophilis is getting out of hand. Russia was aggresor, in 1994 in Chechnya IIRC 1999 Chechnya, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Ukraine 2022. Russian FSB do terrorists attack on their own citizen [1]. Case is simple, goverment is a war crime and was for 28 years. There is a whole generation of young people brainwashed by their parents with roots back to 1800s tsarist propaganda. Russians need to step up and deal with their horrible country past. I, as a polish, kinda has a natural degree in sovietology and Moscow war crimes throughout the ages.

I'm sorry that you're dealing with some incovenciencse. But there are people dying right now.

I think you'd want to index by subreddit as well in the case of Reddit. Getting 500 upvotes on /r/pics is probably not the same as 500 upvotes on some relatively obscure subreddit.
Yea… we got the discount rate and I appreciate the thoughts from the university but it was just way too expensive. Oh and they “couldn’t leave food out” so all of this coffee, breakfast bagels, fruit, etc. that we could have had available all day was gone after meal time because of some rule they had. I’m sure there were good intentions or there was a good reason but universities are far too inflexible when it comes to such things.
That doesn't follow.

It's perfectly consistent to believe in equity and believe that neither the Russian nor the American billionaires' assets should be seized.

You can't just handwave away one side and say "regardless of whether you believe it's justified for group A, you have to believe it's justified for group B".
Not to dismiss this, but what part of that title isnt as obvious as "water is wet"

I.e. who would argue the contrary and why would they think that?
So much whattaboutism in this thread. We are at war. Seizing property of the other belligerents is a very normal thing to do in a war. Russia is currently seizing assets from American companies who leave the country.

Russia is currently bombing Ukrainian hospitals. This is a somewhat tame escalation in that light.
