At this point I think the only reasonable thing to do is whitelist phone numbers that are allowed to actually call you. It sucks, and there are certainly legitimate services that will be more difficult because of it, but once again advertising and marketing has demonstrated that they are the reason we can't have nice things.
It's funny because they didn't talk about funding or getting acquired they talked about small groups of people inventing things.

Whether that ideal was ever the norm or not, it's clear that it's not an important marker of a contemporary startup.
No, I'm sick of programming. I do it full time at work and it just feels like an endless chore. I haven't enjoyed it for at least 5 years or more.

As for doing it as a hobby, it just seems the minimum expectations has grown so much that it's just not worth the bother anymore.
My Note 3 with replaceable battery was 8.3 mm thick. How thin is your non-battery replaceable phone?
I just respond that I will not vote for them because they texted me. Often a real human responds very apologetic. Maybe it will affect their behavior.
Not sure what you imply.
What?! He didn't deny anything! What he is saying is that slave labor always loses out to free labor. Which is why that happened in the US and why it will happen again against China. So even if China uses slave labor, the American industry can still compete. Otherwise, if slavery is so much more competitive , the northern states would've lost out to the confederacy. It's not an excuse to give up. The Uyghur camps are real, but they won't make China outcompete everyone else. Unless we give up and let it happen.
The choice should be up to the consumer, not the EU. We had phones with removable batteries co-exist with phones with non-removable batteries. Most people preferred a slimmer, more attractive device and chose that over a removable battery. Ditto with keyboards.
I would have preferred a phone with a hardware keyboard and a removable battery, but my tastes are niche. That doesn't mean I want a regulator to force the issue.
I don’t know where you live but we literally just did this yesterday – we picked a modest $1,300 unit, but there were multiple options at most price points in stock at most stores here in the DC area. I don’t know if there are specific features or brands you require but it doesn’t seem like there’s a massive supply issue or one specific to induction hardware.
Can you please elaborate on this statement? How did you determine this?
As annoying as dismissing the popup is:

> Yet once dismissed the site functions completely fine

This is one of the intended outcomes of the law, because it prevents companies denying service to those who do not wish to be tracked on an all-or-nothing basis. Which is something that was beginning to happen.

It may seem like there was no outcome from the legislation, but this is partly because it outlaws some outcomes. It's like the Y2K thing, when people tell you that it was all a fuss over nothing.
That's where more context is needed - was the low turn over a protest vote (or protest lack of vote)? Was it indifference? Was it sabotage by the government (making voting hard)? I think these questions will determine the answer.
Keepassxc supports Yubikey challenge response. It protects against attack you mentioned.
I've seen the following:

- Notebooks would become thicker and clunkier. They don't want that.

- Same for cellphones, added with things like less waterproof/humid resistance.

With that said - many of the most vocal "tech enthusiasts" consume a lot. These are the people that are passionate about consumer electronics, and will purchase new phones/laptops/TVs/etc. every 1-2 years. So I'm not really sure why they'd care too much about phones etc. potentially not living their maximum lifespan.
Damn, that `translate.goog` trick is nice.
Isn't that the law in Russia?
Every ISP is required to have the SORM (Russian ECHELON) lawful interception boxes in their network.
So anything with servers in Russia will get their traffic intercepted to begin with and then FSB will pressure them for more indepth database access.

This has always meant that Telegram was not suitable for anything requiring secrecy or privacy.

This looks like a nice alternative for Manim, especially with minimal dependencies (easier setup). I'm definitely give it a try!
The cookie disaster is a constant reminder that these government agencies need to be reeled in and limited. It’s also embarrassing that when I browse the web it’s more or less the EU’s single contribution. Good job!
Telegram is the only platform where I have been able to get uncensored footage of the Ukraine conflict from a civilian perspective. Of course there is a lot of propaganda, but I get to see the destruction and war crimes from both sides with my own eyes.

Are “safe” levels of air pollution safe?
Exactly, and it wasn't just phones. It was pretty standard to be able to upgrade a ton of parts (memory, disk, boards) in a desktop PC until Apple taught the industry how to solder everything in place.
I can’t speak to using WSL2 on Windows, but on my Linux System76 GPU laptop I get around CUDA configuration time sinks by not updating my configuration for long periods of time. I don’t mind spending setup time once every 6 months, but I don’t want to waste my time during it frequently. System76 has new container oriented CUDA setup that is OK, but I liked just setting everything up on my own, and then not modifying anything for as long as possible.
Neutrality means they won't be able to join EU either.
It's ego and job security. Rather than teach all engineers their Jedi mind-tricks, they keep it in their own special group. Now only they can be hired to do the super secret fancy stuff, and they get paid more.
Kubernetes is a very flexible way to host microservices today, which also means it takes a lot of effort to manage and keep running in a workflow.

And while we needed something like Kubernetes this past decade to grow microservice architecture en mass, many of things that Kubernetes does right now will be abstracted away over time in a way that maintains much of that same flexibility.

In that respect, yes, Kubernetes is important for the future of data platforms - but as a stepping stone (an angle that was absent in the author's post).
This will create problems in the long term, because the delta-T due to the deceleration of earth’s rotation due to tidal friction increases quadratically [1]. Not saying it wouldn’t be practical, but that’s the debate, along with astronomer’s needs, satellite navigation etc. You can’t just ignore the relationship with earth’s rotation.

Why We Banned the Word “Ethnic” (2019)
It’s a bit disingenuous to say that Signal has nothing to share. Signal has access logs as well as metadata about the phone number, the name given on the app, group memberships, etc.

With Signal, it’s also trivial to find out if someone is using it by adding their number to one’s address book. Then they can ask Signal for access and other information. That’s not easily possible with Telegram (there are settings to prevent this).

That said, Telegram does store all non-secret chats in an accessible form (for it) on its servers.
If everyone did that, then encryption would be banned, you can count on that.
> That single password is what's used both to retrieve the vault and to decrypt it.

Not sure how you mean that: if I used Keepass for example, which uses a file vault, and I told you that my master password was `p4ssw0rd`, how would that give you access to my vault and hence to any of my passwords?
This (admittedly terrible, but now rectified) location flaw aside, what safety disadvantages does Telegram have over other communication platforms without end-to-end encryption like Discord, Teams, Slack, or Messenger?
What do databases that don't scale out gain from Kubernetes?
Telegram channel "Код Дурова" asked a source close to Telegram what they thought of Matveichev's words - "Clowns" (https://t.me/d_code/13701)

Keep in mind that they are paid for correct answers. Reminding how Elvira Nabiulina (head of the Central Bank of Russia) talks about the good economic situation and stability in Russia.

Other government has initiatives being bad doesn't make all government initiatives bad.

My favorite is the kid on their first job out of college who after 3 years is now "Senior". Seen too many of these to be funny. I worry about hiring.
Induction cookers must have been designed by the same person who designed the door opening and closing mechanism on Virgin train toilets.

For those who haven't experienced that particular abomination, they had sliding quadrant doors and separate buttons for locking and unlocking the doors as opening and closing the door. Originally the colour of the lights around the buttons was the only clue to the state of the lock (I think these have been redesigned). This resulted in the unintended comedy of someone sat down to do the toilet as the next person came along, pressed the door open button and slowly unveiled the person doing their business to the whole carriage of people. Inevitably resulting in a mashing of buttons from both sides trying to get the door to close again.
For almost everyone, vaccinated or not, Omicron is a minor nuisance. Somehow everyone seems to claim they have minor symptoms because they got vaccinated. This is human psychology 101 as it validates your decision for getting vaccinated.
Depends on what you mean by time zone info. A time zone identifier like "Europe/Paris" will usually be sufficient.
Thank you for writing the comment I didn't have the energy to make.
Are the controlling only traffic from inside Russia or worldwide?
> (...) or ways to de-escalate the conflict by giving Putin some sort of face-saving measure (...)

One thing I never understood is what "face-saving" means in this context. Could somebody try to explain that?

Edit: to explain the question -- to me as a political and military layman in central Europe, it seems that the most face-saving move is to return to Russia and stop the war. Anything else would be worse. So either the key point is that I'm not the audience of such a move (who then? My guess is Russian politicians, military, or civilians), or I'm seriously getting wrong how one's moves are interpreted on the geopolitical stage.
Stories like this might as well be titled "Local change in Earth's magnetic field causes objects to float in the air". They shouldn't be read and then disputed because their details don't match the facts, they should be laughed out of the room based on the title alone. The forces they suppose to be relevant just aren't anywhere even close to the brute economic logic that actually governs how many people are willing to work in a field.

If companies want to employ more roofers, they should pay roofers more. It turns out that they will find more roofers that way. If they can't afford that... then we as a society didn't actually want that much roofing done in the first place. Or teaching, or farming, or programming, or whatever kind of job this story happened to be about again.
What cookie law? The cookie banner was never mandated, except in cases where you're trying to set cookies which are not legitimately necessary for your business but are for surveillance purposes. The trouble is businesses either don't understand this or pretend not to.
Depends on the company, at some, including the one I'm at, most Senior Engineers will not become Staff Engineers. And from what I hear, this is a growing approach throughout the tech industry, although I think the majority of companies will still continue to treat Staff as "Senior with a few more years experience". It'll be interesting to see how the industry grows. I think we'll see more levels added above Senior beyond the two or three "Staff" type roles.
Kind of, Kubernetes is just another way of doing mainframe workloads, whose main concepts all trace back to System 360.

20 years ago I was deploying EAR files into application servers without caring which OS they would run on.

Nowadays I package managed runtimes into containers, that I don't care if they run directly on top of a type 1 hypervisor, VM or whatever.

Basically what mainframe OS virtualization looks like nowadays and traces its roots back to System 360.

In this case, self hosting matrix within Russia would present the same legal vulnerabilities. Maybe a bit obscurity, but at same time it's signalling to FSB that it maybe be worth investigating.

This is just a random speculation. There is no hard or even indirect evidence that Durov cooperates with FSB in any way. Even Whatsapp which belongs to Facebook is still available in Russia despite their explicit pro-Ukrainian stance.
Telegram is not ISP and being used widely by non-russian residents.
A helpful way to deal with childhood trauma, I've found, is to take a wide perspective. The speech that Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, who was abused by his father, gives in the 2013 movie "Saving Mr. Banks" beautifully encapsulates this idea and eloquently delivers this advice: overcome your past. Here is the full speech: https://moviewise.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/saving-mr-banks/

Standardise alias in order to unstick library evolution
GDPR may be one of the best things that has happened to internet privacy. If websites wouldn't track your every move, they also wouldn't need to put up a cookie banner. In fact, the EU is the only power that actually puts up a meaningful fight against Facebook, Google and co's rape of the internet.

I think it's extremely arrogant of you to assume that laws like GDPR were just made a bunch of bureaucrats without "understanding technical details".
I used induction in EU while traveling and found it really great which us why I switched to it initially when back in the US. The available models (at any price) in the US are all subpar. Commonly you will have a single 7” diameter induction ring in a 10” burner, which is /horribly/ uneven compared to any other range type.

Look in cooking forums, it’s well understood at this point that radiant is the most even, induction is the least even, and gas is in the middle. But gas has the advantage of working with any cookware (including warped or wobbly/spun pans) and can be used in tilted/lifted cooking techniques that don’t work on induction or radiant and are common in gourmet cooking done in the French tradition.

I really wanted induction to work for me. It’s so much safer and more energy efficient (e.g. cheaper) than other options, but it just sucked in the US. Even EU brands sold in US use subpar designs and the quality cooktops sold in EU are not available here.

If you want to know conclusively how even your cooktop is do a flour scorch test or use a thermal imaging device. I know from scorch test that induction was significantly worse (and from behavior while cooking). Try using cast iron on induction and you’ll hate life.
WASM will never be faster because it has a runtime, the only thing that can be quicker is the startup of the application which is less relevant for regular API servers etc ...

WASM is interesting client side, service side beside very simple use case like resize my image it's not very good imo
> And this may only be the start. Meinrath said the government restrictions will likely trigger not just broader adoption of circumvention tools in Russia but also further research and development of new tools by Russia's highly skilled and tech-savvy population.

This will not happen. Russia has always had restricted freedoms, and yet they still turn to western technology when they are in need. There have been no shortage of opportunities for Russian people to innovate their way to freedom. They have opportunities to contribute. Yet they are not free. They do not contribute. They simply turn to western technology again and again.

The only innovation in Russia is the cat and mouse game between Russian black hats and western security companies.
No, its not a silver bullet but it almost is.

For a vast majority of use cases, UTC storage is sufficient. For everything else, you need both the UTC timestamp and some other piece of knowledge depending on the scenario at hand. In many cases, its as simple as a User.UtcOffsetMinutes fact. In other more paranoid scenarios, you may be inclined to store the original timezone/offset in which the UTC fact was originally valid.

Regardless of the scenario, there is no situation where I would want to store a non-UTC timestamp. Everything is UTC with some optional extras.
I can already see it, a zip file containing application assets, a wasm binary and a couple of manifest files with configuration metadata.

A daily reminder that cookie popups have very little to do with GDPR and cookie laws. If a site doesn't track you (w/ 3rd parties) and uses its own session cookies to provide service, it'd need no banners.

Case in point - look at github.com - they did the right thing. Or look at apple.com... or even gs.com.
What a depressing concept.
EAR files, just saying.
This is true, but only in the same sense as shop owners willingly accepting mafia protection as soon as this is "offered". "It would be a shame if something were to happen to your shop".

Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because a country expresses interest to join NATO, the general sentiment must be "my my what a lovely club to join, I feel so safe here". You're literally signing a pact of war. Basically it's "choose which mafia family you prefer" and simply not choosing one is probably the worst choice.

This is interesting. Someone knows if I can spoof GPS signals using my Raspberry Pi -- plus maybe some SDR hat or add-on?
How do you know what is needed for that without reading the GDPR?
I find the "cookie disaster" a great outcome. This little bit of friction is great at letting everyone know the price for the loss of privacy.
cookie popup is not a disaster, it forced companies to tell their users they are tracking them

user replaceable battery is important because what's most likely to die 1st in your electronics is the battery, if it is soldered, high chance you'll have to replace your whole thing, producing useless e-waste

Why is this thread being sent back several pages?
Very good point, it's pretty crazy that these systems don't seek authorization for each secret retrieved.

Do you have recommendations for software-only solutions that do this? ssh-agent has an option for it, not sure if anything else does (pass?)
And yet if you buy a computer one part at a time, through the magic of standardization you may end up even cheaper than the fully build OEM option.

You won't see too many industries attempting this kind of standardization anytime soon.
How did he go away without sharing encryption keys? Other networks platforms were forced to do this or close. Telegram left untouched...
Right, and those aspects are expensive because they don't have economies of scale because they either don't really want people to use them too much, and if people do want to use them they'll squeeze them. They'd rather people scrap machines and get new ones. And even if I then swear off "unreliable" Hotpoint machines and go for Siemens, some Siemens customer will make the reverse trip, so they all profit together.

If they all had to provide all the parts at a reasonable cost, they'd figure out a way to get it done. I'm sure Siemens, say, can figure out a way to ship a part by part number efficiently, considering its already on a shelf somewhere.

And if you a company don't want to pay for that? Use a standard part. Now it's not your problem.

It'll never happen, but it's nice to think about as the world drowns in piles of ruined single-use equipment, while the money spent on replacing them flows endlessly corporate pockets.
It’s not people around you dying in bunches. This is not some sort of plague or the first SARS.

You live in a village. You are a regular guy or girl strongly interested in your life not becoming suddenly worse. You know a friend whose old grandpa recently died. He smoked, like almost all grandpas do. Are you seriously going to press your friend as to whether her grandpa was infected with COVID? Do you think grandpa chose to go get tested, knowing they could possibly undermine the entire village if their case gets reported up? And if your friend confides in you that her grandpa might have had COVID, would you go around posting how your village deceived the authorities?

Now scale this according to China’s population and territory. This can plausibly be happening all over outside of big cities and no one on the ground would notice anything out of ordinary. Add to that people existing entirely outside of the system, without access to healthcare and so on.
There is a blockchain ran by a bunch of interested third parties for CT, yes.

The block chain is different for each CT operator, it just allows you to validate the issued certs.
