> Considering that most russian media is banned/censored in the west, it's highly unlikely that we are seeing much russian propaganda.

Russian propaganda has always been distributed through channels that beyond Russian media. In the US, specifically, Russia has substantial influence with the American Left whose survival of the fall of the USSR into kleptocratic capitalist Russia is an...interesting arc, and has cultivated newer channels through the American far right (particularly White nationalist groups) as well. While there is almost certainly ongoing direct active influence through both groups, even beyond that plenty in both actively seek out Russian media (which, even though most has shut down operations in the west) is trivial to access from the West if you are actively seeking it out and repeat narratives received through it.
I agree, I think I misread.

If you actively distribute, as in push your code out to the world via pushing it into npm, that's very different to sharing the code on GitHub.
It looks nice, I'll be sure to try it out! Upfront, I don't think it'll cover all my scrivener uses (it seems to be missing a lot of the outlining and research features—please correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm curious enough to try it for a short story or two.

Because arm64 is an architecture, not a definition of an entire SoC. When you want to run on a SoC with all sorts of connected peripherals you must support those in your OS in order to use them. Some peripherals are required to run at all. To run on any SoC you'll have to implement software to work on it.

You're saying leave model evaluation to philosophers. Last time we did that we did that we had theory of four elements and phlogiston.

Souls games offer a true sense of accomplishment. Making it “more accessible” would basically ruin that.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was by a wide margin my favourite game of the past few years. An amazing world, incredible characters, and a wonderful story. But never once did I feel like the game was apathetic to my existence. The game wanted me to win. Winning was guaranteed. So while I felt so many emotions, accomplishment was not one of them.

One thing Souls games get right is that they’re fair. They’re consistent. You almost never die in a way that wasn’t your fault. And that’s what makes the sense of accomplishment possible. You get better. Your reflexes improve. You learn to be patient, studious, thoughtful. The game isn’t an amusement park ride. The difficulty isn’t simulated like it is in most modern AAA games.
Seminarian here. One word of caution here, is plenty of people think they discover something new by reading some authors. Whatever the view is, a lot of them aren't new, and there exists notable scholars (from the early church fathers to modern theologians) that can disagree and agree with it.

SolarWinds Advisory – Unauthenticated Access in Web Help Desk (12.7.5)
"Tech debt" was coined as a metaphor to be used when talking to non-tech leaders, to explain why investment was needed into systems to keep them running, and not just focus on new shiny features to drive sales.

So the article is right - it isn't real. But also wrong in that the need for that metaphor is very real. If defining tech debt leads to uncertainly, I recommend skipping definitions and just focus on the purpose - to use the concept as a framework to help leadership and engineering find the right balance between new feature development and internal system improvements.
I'd have to spend a lot more time for a comprehensive list, but I can easily throw out a couple:

"Computer Lib/Dream Machines" Theodor Nelson - a vision of a better computing future that sticks with me.

"Courtship Rite", "The Moon Goddess and the Son", "Psychohistorical Crisis" Donald Kingsbury - sociologicaly based SF that forced me to think way outside of my cultural assumptions. TMGATS is particularly relevant given the events in Ukraine.
It creates more room for other problems too.

More time for obstructionists to find footing, increased chance of loss of political will, and more opportunities for public opinion to sour among other things.

Like him bashing SOLID principles.

> [what] improved the development efficiency of your team?

* I think that the daily standup is great! Preferably virtual/slack, if you are consistent it will help remove roadblocks and people chasing rabbits down holes (that is, getting stumped and not making progress).

* Clear quarterly goals and monthly meetings with external stakeholders have been helpful to me in the past. This was for smaller teams, but it's fantastic to make sure that you aren't efficiently developing the wrong software.

* CI and automated tests were truly a lifesaver when I built a startup codebase from scratch and they're helpful now (at a different company) in preventing regressions. It's painful to introduce TDD or automated tests if you don't have them, but I promise you, when that regression is caught in CI 6 months from now, you'll be happy you paid the price.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what they're talking about. If anything, the development of the vaccine for COVID impressed with how quickly we were able to iterate from proof of concepts to actually getting the vaccine distributed and given out. That's not to say that the process was perfect, but overall, I think the end result was much better than I would have predicted if asked hypothetically how long it would take to from the appearance to a new virus until when vaccines were actually administered nationwide to whoever wanted them. Unless that's what GP is saying, that the availability of vaccines for a wider variety of diseases were being artificially suppressed? I'm not sure I'd consider that to be much of a conspiracy theory though. I think it's clear from efforts to squash stuff like polio and smallpox have made it clear that it's practically possible to mass distribute vaccines without gatekeeping based on who can afford it, but in general it would require either an extremely benevolent entity who came up with the vaccine and is willing to forgo profits or some sort of government intervention; I don't think it's really surprising that this doesn't happen more often.
Personally for me Fountainhead by Ayn Rand was transformative. Creators need to be respected and identified. Great Leaders often have this knack of reading people and using them appropriately.
I mean at the end of the day it boils to few things.

- Entropy

- Capitalism

- Greed

To not be vague, user greed for features and less for performance cause increase in complexity. A complex system is by definition more chaotic and harder to optimize.

And Capitalism rewards doing just a bit better than competition. I.e. optimize your time on quickest things that gives most users satisfaction.
Sure there is a good way to do it right. Yet most IS teams got drawn too much into the polar reaction of either chicken little or boilerplate.

From a client standpoint, which came to me as a no surprise but I've learned the hard way for something so obvious, is that they don't understand nor care the whole explanation, articulation of the security issue. All they wanted is you to take care it, don't waste everybody's time by only coming in to find security problem at the worst timing and making impulsive decision as a IS methodology.

This calls for build security by design, merge the lifecycle of security management into the modern software engineering, some refer that as DevSecOps, which sounds bolts-on so I doubt that's all there is to it. The software engineering never has given security the weight it deserves.

Why now and why this has never been the case since the beginning? Probably because most IS professional are from auditors, operation etc. background. Very few brains are from software engineering background, this is also different from a mere programming background. Script kiddy is not software engineering.

Contrary to the article's claim, what it needs is system thinking, STEM brain. People skill will not fix it, only to make it go away.
After reading that post, I'm pretty sure that Project Loom only fits my definition of structured concurrency if it's used solely with the try-with-resources construct.

However, if it is used that easy, then yes, absolutely, it fits my definition.

Using the Executor class as a threadset might also make it fit my definition, but I think my opinion of my definition has changed in the two years since I wrote it. I may have to revisit it because I think it may be useful to only consider concurrency that has the same block structure as structured programming does, whereas my current definition allows for passing a threadset around as a first-class value.

tl;dr: yes, it probably fits, but that might mean my definition need changing, except in the case of try-with-resources.

I've heard a few like that. They are in the early years of founding a business, their day job is unpaid, the 2nd job is so they can eat, and theweekend job is more money to invest in the main one. The plan is in a few years the first job makes money and they quit the others.

Or sometimes someone who is laid off in a downturn and works like that for a year while waiting for things to improve so they can return to their previous high spending lifestyle with lots of vacation to enjoy the toys they are now just able to make payments on.

> Most developers never need to know about BGP.

That is my point. If I have a repo for a BGP implementation, the only people who are going to use my code are going to know what BGP is. No one is going to stumble upon the repo, read about what BGP is, and then decide to use the code.
Really, they wouldn’t even be ABLE to use the code… they aren’t going to have access to a router that supports BGP… if you have access to a router with BGP, you already know what BGP is.
Physics is most illustrative in experimentation and good enough approximations. None of the above plays a role in undergrad as far as I can tell, unless perhaps if going for ivy league.

There is a very good starting point following the historic developments, maybe iron age stuff, a bit of platonic philosophy, including logic, rhethorics and philology on an a-level level. purely theoretical physics is rather math heavy final year, post grad stuff.
Here's the thing about Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi and their substacks: they are part of that whole laundering of Russian propaganda. You have to stop and ask yourself why we are talking about biolabs at all in the first place. The reason is that Putin wants to talk about biolabs because a) he needs to bolster his case that Ukrainians are Nazis intent on killing Russians and b) he possibly is prepping for using biological/chemical WMDs himself, as Russians used this same kind of tactic in their previous aggressions: claim the other side is doing something, and then do that very same thing yourself.

So what happens after Putin makes these claims? Well then Tucker Carlson helpfully comes in and airs a program where he does not make the same exact claims Putin makes, but he does this schtick where he "just asks questions," where the questions he is asking are quite provocative and tacitly align with the Kremlin position. Then the rest of the right-wing chorus comes along and we're all talking about biolabs at different levels, but the whole conversation is being seeded by Putin. What he does then is loop back this chatter on Russian state media. He uses it to show that actually "a lot of people, even in the West" are talking about Ukrainian biolabs and that the whole thing is a legitimate concern.

Now there a may or may not be concerns about biolabs. I don't pretend to know much about biolabs, although it sure seems there are a lot of experts nowadays. But the point is whatever discussion we are having about biolabs is not organic, and we need to be highly attuned to that fact.

We also have to be attuned to the fact that people like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald were so wrong about Putin's intentions regarding Ukraine that they were shocked and flabbergasted when Putin actually crossed the border and began his slaughter. Matt Taibbi had to make a public apology based on how wrong he was. And the reason they were so wrong about this is because they have blinders on regarding Russia that have been erected over years, since at least 2016. These blinders prevented them from seeing the obvious: that Putin was amassing a huge force at Ukraine's borders in preparation for an invasion. Because what were they doing during this period? They were again, carrying Putin's water and parroting Putin's position that he was not going to invade at all. So really, I don't know how they have any credibility whatsoever at this point.

Russian propaganda works in a different way than western one. They know that they cant compete with western news behemots like CNN, BBC,... so they go alternative ways -- trying to get their message viral trough alternative channels like social networks. It's hard to notice by design, mostly because their goals is to conquer the west in a way -- they could not simply just say that "hey please break apart into small nations isolate on your own, then we can conquer you one by one". Because this is the core thing Putin wants to reach, and its hidden in plain sight, just read his main propagada philosopher's book summary: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

And some examples on how they do it:

1. https://euvsdisinfo.eu/viral-manspreading-video-is-staged-kr...

2. https://mobile.twitter.com/redfishstream

They have got multiple modus operandi, the largest one is whataboutism, which is actually an old KGB disinformation tactic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism#History . A great example is this tweet which was created on the day Russia attacked Ukraine: https://mobile.twitter.com/redfishstream/status/149689293121... (this went viral, was on the Reddit front page)The other one is to have a barrage of fake news (but it always contains a grain of truth), see how Russian officials reacted to the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupo: First it was denied. They they said it was empty. Then that it was a base for the Azov batallion. Then that the photos were showing "crisis actors", it was staged. Then that the Azov batallion bombed it. And so on...

You can see the effect on Russian people, they do not trust their state at all. For example no one inside Russia believed in their vaccines causing one of the worst Covid infections.
