Even so, they should use term "XX century tactics" and not "medieval tactics" for describing what Russians do (which also acknowledges that XX century wasn't really any less barbaric than the rest of history). I understand the want to smear the opponent, but it doesn't do any good long-term to respond with falsehoods.
Sadly, the story here is that the existing law is rarely enforced, requiring outlier efforts to even acknowledge that a law was broken. Any 'win' here is against flawed systems.
Ironically, a lot closer to the ending of the book..
err, super easy to return text, if you haven't used .NET for a while, this is the minimum program to return text via the end point /test

app.Map("test", () => "hi there");
app.Run();
Miele doesn't make any with real knobs anymore sadly. All the current models are touch controls only.
So you are saying that because we don't live in a perfect world, we should all do business with the scum of the Earth? It is all or nothing? We can never start with the case at hand and maybe do better on the other ones later?

That's pretty sad dude.
Agreed. Fortunately the main documentation now shows that this is an anti pattern since EF dbcontext is already a repository pattern and implements unit-of-work semantics.
He will almost certainly collect none of it which makes the process largely useless unfortunately. These are shell companies that will never pay up.
With a modern encoder, I think that's virtually guaranteed, yes.

Most peoples idea of "horrible" 128kbps seems to be skewed by the early days of MP3 -- which does mean there are horrible files and encoders out there, yes. But a modern LAME encoder is streets ahead at 128kbps.
This is high order whataboutism and still a fallacy.

Money we pay to Russia currently pays for their military. Parts, tools, materials to Russia go to maintaining its capacity to wage war.

The existence of one injustice doesn't somehow make another okay.
I didn’t write Java professionally before joining Google. I interviewed in Python, there’s a much wider gap between those two languages than between C# and Java. I’ve also worked with people who used to write C# since it’s kinda common in line of business finance stuff.

Forget the hundreds of hours in leetcode. If you actually want to work for one of those companies, get in touch with a recruiter and see if there’s a role that suits. Ask for prep time later if you need it.

Do you still have to do social distancing, limiting numbers, limiting hospitality, QR checkins etc? Are people living in fear of Covid etc?

I’m not saying it’s like that in China, but I would find it pretty hard to live like that plus no international travel to maintain zero Covid.
Only a thousand daily cases in a country with a population of 1G? That's either very impressive, or very impressively underreported. For comparison, Belgium currently has 10 times as many daily new cases, with a population that's 100 times smaller (and no lockdown).
Read my comment in the context of the parent comment I'm replying to and you will see how your comment has nothing to do with mine.
United States has the capability to degrade or deny GPS based on location.
Russia has also demonstrated the ability to spoof GPS signals.
Either is a likely cause here.
Absolutely brilliant, I am reminded of many of the reasons why I no longer wish to live on this planet
It would certainly help Ukraine if Russia is deprived of the parts and material it needs to maintain equipment. E.g., Russian airlines will soon be in dire straits as sanctions are cutting off their access to vital replacement parts; sanctions could have a similar effect for Russia's air force.
This is another one of those unfortunately clickbait titled papers. What the paper actually states is:

- Sanctions with economic goals have been demonstrated to work fairly well.

- Sanctions alone with political goals are only demonstrated to work in a minority of studied cases. Sanctions combined with military action tend to perform better, but then you end up with problems teasing out causal effects.

- Sanctions can be mitigated by whipping up nationalistic fervor, substitution via other avenues, and shifting the burden to disenfranchised groups.

- The current research on this is crap quality.

The breadth and scale of the current sanctions against Russia (far bigger and more comprehensive than any in history) will make substitution harder. As well, Russia is engaged in a very expensive war that is quickly depleting her coffers due to wastage, poor training, bad coordination, and low morale. With scores of Western countries actively supplying billions in arms to Ukraine, that does not bode well.
Yeah, no startup would ever do something like that. Especially not any startup which collaborates with Walgreens.
This is on point.
The Russian economy might very well implode soon ( weeks to months), and the rapid disappearance of many brands and types of products from the Russian market is probably highly unpopular with the population. If they're forced to send in reservists ( which isn't out of the question seeing how the initial Russian advance is stalled on basically all fronts), that will only add to the growing resentment. There's historical precedent for forced conscripts to turn around and fight against the authority conscripting them ( French Revolution, Russian Revolutions and Civil War).
South East Asia is pretty much opening up and treating Covid as endemic. You shouldn't have problems.
Central banks already are used as tools to do all these things.
Needs a "(video)" in the title
Not likely as long as Russia has at least one major trading partner (i.e. China) who can redirect critical goods to them. If all major trading partners cut them off, then possibly.
The author states they do not compare sanctions against military action. The author is assessing if sanctions achieved the goal of the sanctions. I think a way to think about sanctions is applying a tax to a country. It's not that the country won't find some way to evade the sanctions to achieve their goals but the cost of doing so is higher than it would have been otherwise. You might say sanctions fail against North Korea because they still import things. But when you look at all the crazy schemes they come up with to evade the sanctions, those have a cost to implement. For example they do mid ocean oil transfers from one ship to another. First you have to find a company willing to do that, then occasionally they get caught and the oil is returned to the origin country. Doing that must cost extra compared with just buying oil by regular methods.
Yes. But that's different. The West we're doing national or citywide lockdowns which did not happen to the same extent here. Now, we will definitely see general citywide lockdowns soon. That's what's changed.
My Russian neighbors bring it up every time the topic comes up.
No my point is our warmongering regime needs a reason to continue the military spending spree. In an ideal world, we don’t have any business transactions with the Middle East where our values clearly don’t match and democracy is just a mockery for dictators to legitimize. Yet last I checked US is in bed with the Saudis even with after the 9/11 attack.
Thanks, that sounds really interesting.
The sentiment is that "these companies are using our friendly disposition to try and force us do things for them in a pathetic fashion, by throwing a fit".
Venezuela and Cuba have had sanctions for decades.

> and on the stove there was rice, two subjis, chai and a roti tawa all at the same time.

So, they had 5 burners?

Anyways, my comment was more about the number of dishes. Two curries as in your example is fairly typical. Three curries, a sambar and a rasam like the GP said is definitely not. Chai at lunchtime does sound strange to me but then again, I'm not really familiar with Punjabi culinary preferences.
Except when the North Sea wind was weaker than usual in 2021, triggering an energy crisis that has persisted to this day. This impacted almost the entirety of Europe and led to a spike in gas prices, since, surprise, all the backup plants rely on gas and coal.
They will cripple russian industry (already some factories stopped production) including parts of military production, which in itself means they are at least somewhat effective.
Yep, took me about 5 minutes to set up with tailscale https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole/ (wireguard)
Assuming an random alphanumeric password and a 256 bit hash there is no benefit going above a 55 character password. Even if you aren't just using random characters I think 100 is a fine limit. Most people are not going to be using a password that long without a password manager. If they are using a password manager they might as well just use a random password.

For there to be more security in allowing passwords thousands of digits long the host would very likely being storing your password in plain text as opposed to pulling out a few thousand bytes out of an XOF (extendable output function).
This reminds me when McDonalds cycled through fullscreen ads obscuring their digital menus. They also slowly cycled through menu items and deals, leading to awkward delays at the cash registers waiting to see the full menu.
Departing within 72 hours, loads of paperwork went into getting approved to get in. Everything seems to be opening up, but while most are calling for things to open up even further; authorities are pointing fingers again to the rising number of infections and the possibility of collapse of the health care systems. However, two weeks ago, all seemed absolutely fine.
For learning (and for development on most projects, until it actually comes time to train the real model) the K80 or whatever the lower tier is on colab is fine as a gpu.

The problem with colab IMO is that if it's your main platform, you'll be pushed to use notebooks for everything which is not really a good practice. Whatever you use, I'd suggest focusing on building a real train.py script (I'm assuming you'll be using python) that takes command line arguments for the hyperparameters. Don't get sloppy and just have things run as a bunch of cells.

If you are learning, my unsolicited advice is don't use built in datasets, make sure you can write datasets / dataloaders yourself so you understand what is going on and can adapt to your own work. All the stock examples using built in mnist or whatever gloss over the most important parts of setting up the data
I love .NET. It is highly productive, reasonably performant and you can competently write any kind of software using it beside systems programming. It is an excellent jack of all trades, and you can move with ease from game programming, to web applications, to desktop software, to small glue programs and utilities, to mobile apps, to web frontend and what not.

In the future even systems programming might be possible with push towards native apps and direct memory access. If at some point it will be possible to disable the garbage collector and manually manage memory, .NET could be used for everything.

For a company investing in .NET is a good idea since you can move with ease a developer from one role to another. And even if you don't move the developer, having a mobile developer who can read and understand the code for the backend APIs can be quite beneficial.

For me, personally, working with .NET was quite a win. I moved from desktop apps to web, then, when I got bored I moved to the gaming industry as a game developer and now I am again a happy web developer writing microservice based web apps. Meanwhile I also developed a few mobile apps for myself.
> In Russia the situation is that most people actually support Putin

How do you know this?
The point of NATO is exactly why Russia fears it - consolidated strength that makes it impossible to pick off member states one by one by a stronger power (namely Russia). Russia and the USSR weren’t invited because they explicitly were the threat.
They were very much in line with opening up the past month, but the past few days calls are getting louder to do something about the rising number of infections; along with the strain on the health care systems.
> is overall worse than induction when it comes to the cooking experience in just about all ways.

The way you would know this to be true is when professional kitchens are defaulting to induction instead of gas. (I think this has started to happen in a few high end places, which is exciting)

I am putting in a new kitchen soon and it will have a gas hob + electric oven because I love cooking and gas is my default. Every electric hob I have ever used has been garbage, and I am not dropping 2 grand to try induction and maybe discover what sound like familiar issues (ha, I am turning myself off now).

Gas always just works. Apply steady heat - perfect cooking experience. Maybe next time.
I find this fascinating in comparison with the situation here in the UK where about 70% of the population are triple vaccinated. Omicron is everywhere, literally. Anecdotally I would say 80-90% of households with school aged kids have had Omicron since the beginning of January and it’s still doing the rounds. We now have no restrictions and even during the peak in Jan/Feb it was very very minimal.

There will be no more restrictions here at all unless something drastic happens later in the year with a new variant.
I think we are on the same page. A parent has a mental model of the world and the kid inside it. Based on this model the parent makes projections and take actions. The problem is this mental model which never the same between the parent and the kid.

> Or, to put it another way, what is best for the actual kid, not what would be best for the parents if they were in the kid's position.

Most parents act in the best interest of a kid, not themselves. The outcome varies because parents model of the world usually flawed in many ways and they actually make bad decision thinking they have made good ones. E.g. my friend is obsessed with pre-school development. This is likely because she perceive herself as not smart and wants her son to be smart. She force her son to exercise, he can read and do some math at the age of 3. Long term this is bad for the kid. Unfortunately she cannot realize this. Doing so would require a level of knowledge and self-awareness she does not have. I her eyes she makes perfect decisions.
Cue South Park's parody of Steve Irwin. "I'm going to jam my thumb in his butthole, this should really piss him off."
Omg pretty strict procedure, you had to remain in the office for 48 hours?
Is the point not to make it very clear to the general public that what is happening is bad?

Like, in the current scenario, it might not be very well known what the truth is, so by enforcing sanctions it gets brought into the public eye - and even if you still believe what the government says, it must at least make you stop and wonder /why/ the rest of the world has suddenly stopped doing business with your country.

At the very least it causes dissent in the populace, which is a very powerful tool
Wow. When I was a kid I was on holiday playing together with Russians, Brits, Belgians and other German kids.

While the Russian kids were playing by the rules (at least not significantly outside of that) especially the British kiddos did everything they could to win the medals we received in these games from the hotel.

So what does my anecdata tell us? Nothing. I have great experiences with Russian people while I was cheated by Brits. Should I deduce all Russians are great people? Or all Brits are cheaters? Probably would be a bad idea.

There clearly are different cultures. But talking about that as if this means people a a homogenized blob of that culture does not pay justice to the people who went to the streets in Russia to protest against the war for example. Or to the people that only know the propaganda side of this war on any side.
In other words, if a set of people don't understand the message, make sure that no one understands the message (not even the people that normally just press the Google Translate button).

Is that what you're saying? Or did I misunderstand you?
Social distancing has never been a big thing in China because we've had masks for two years. It's only when for example lining up for a covid test that there's been marked one meter distances you had to pay attention to. Only anti-mask backwards countries have promoted social distancing as a measure.

You sometimes check in with qr, but most of the time you just show your green health code which is a qr too, and sign your name, phone number etc on a sheet at the restaurant or such that you enter.

But for a long time now you haven't had to show your health code as there haven't been many cases.
Which works ok if you're an island in the middle of nowhere, but it works a lot less ok if you're an EU county with people used to the idea of travelling anywhere without even having to show an ID. We've been through some pretty rough two years, but most of restrictions are now lifted or lifting. With the amount of people being either vaccinated or recovered from covid infection we should be over the whole pandemic dance of lockdowns and ever changing travel restrictions. On the other hand, NZ and China will have problems with outbreaks as soon as they lift travel restrictions. It's inevitable.

> Do you think Russia's funding of terrorist groups in the eastern portions of Ukraine known for atrocities against civilians could've influenced that decision?

You are maybe confused with neo-Nazi Azov battalion and co. also funded and trained by the USA, which have committed documented war crimes against civilians.
It does if you think like an abusive spouse. ‘Stop looking at the neighbor or I’ll beat you silly’ kinda looks like it works and all, until they sneak away anyway.
> Their 'definition' of democracy is not a democracy.

I think people are way too black-and-white about these things. Democracy is supposed to be a mapping of the people's will to the people's living conditions. It's very obvious that some states are way better at this than others. The amount of control the US voter has over the specific policy regime they live under is almost nonexistent. That's quite normal in western democracies.

To put it in context, an Athenian democrat would call every one of our modern democracies an oligarchy, and we in turn would call their democracy an apartheid state.

I don't think you're right about the Soviets, but my observation is that a large part of western misunderstandings of the Bolsheviks come from failing to understand them on their terms. In my eyes, a state based on soviet sovereignty, even with a strong executive in emergency situations, would be a very democratic state. That's what the Bolsheviks said they wanted to deliver, and I don't see why we shouldn't believe them.
Indeed. See my other comment where I mention the irony of this.
Sample size one, but I agree with the grandparent. I take photos with a regular camera and use these features there. I own halide and used it couple of times. I didn't know it had these features and based on that promo video I wouldn't know where to find them or how exactly they work. I'd also prefer a less flashy video; current one reminds me of game trailers that show none of the gameplay.
I'm not against it, I just happened to also need lots of nginx functionality...but a cursory glance does suggest YARP provides at least most of what I need.

There are many polls evidencing this. Also by personal contacts with Russians.
Not the parent but I would say you just need a little of statistics and a little of calculus and linear algebra. If you are interested in theory then you need more.

For statistics I would recommend "All of Statistics".

The level of calculus required is to know to differentiate.

Algebra is more important. Any introductory linear algebra book would do. If you are able to multiply matrices and solve equations you can postpone a topic until necessary like for example eigenvectors or matrix factorization.

My advice is to first jump into the pool and learn swimming as needed. But learn swimming, use the concrete problems to motivate yourself.
ahem Have you considered F#, which could hardly be accused of being enterprisey?
From the intro to this paper: "I do not address whether sanctions are an effective substitute for war." But isn't substituting for war the whole purpose of sanctions?

Sanctions are a nonmilitary response to a military action. What is the alternative way for the world to respond to the invasion of Ukraine?

The first goal of sanctions is to diminish the capability of the Russian economy to sustain a military invasion.

The second goal is to be a chip at the negotiation table. Releasing sanctions can traded for a withdrawal, creating an incentive to end the invasion.
It's probably an order of magnitude harder, especially because after university you have many CS concepts fresh, and after 8 years you have totally forgotten about inverting a binary tree...

But I think it's possible. Most FAANG now are just another big corporation and they are always hiring for all levels of experience. Especially since so many developers seem to retire early I think its doable
It is, but the US basically can't use that mode anymore - the widespread use of GPS guided munitions which do not have the military grade receivers means the US basically doesn't enable the signal degradation mode ever - it harms their own force more then helping any counter-force.
From what I understand the original sm64 codebase is very inefficient. There's a ROM hacker by the name of Kaze that has spent more than a year completely rewriting the engine. With his new engine he can achieve up to 60 FPS on original Hardware. Is very impressive.
> I would pay a premium for a TV with no internet connection.

There is a solution for which time is running out but is currently still possible. You can find someone selling a used, perfectly good television made in the era right before every single TV was a "smart" TV.
Omnicron in particular is so low impact that the response is primarily political, especially when you have vaccines and some pre existing immunity.

Countries can choose to pretty much ignore it or go crazy over it as the politicians and Twitter demand.

We just got bored of it in the UK and moved onto Boris’s parties and now Ukraine.
Russian propaganda will tell people "see, the West wants us suffer, this means we're are right". Those who support this regime cannot connect cause and effect, even in total poverty they will still think "Putin good West bad". Don't overestimate intellectual ability of an average TV consumer.

Sanctions deal more damage to those who are trying to flee the country, leaving everything behind with no VISA/MasterCard and no hope for acceptance in other countries based on nationality.
