My take is that strategy is a set of abstract, high level goals that you specify in order to achieve an objective over a long period of time. Eg, “Create a product for market A in order to build a sufficiently large user/revenue base that will allow us to enter market B”. Think Tesla Roadster, Model S, Model X which then provided enough revenue to build the Model 3.

Tactics are a set of concrete plans and techniques used to achieve each of the strategic goals, in order. “Add these features to the product to make it desirable in market A”. Or, “offer a high volume purchasing commitment to a supplier in order to reduce the cost of batteries”.

You would typically deploy very many tactics over a long time in order to achieve the strategic goals.

The main difference between strategy and tactics is that when (if!) you get to the end of your strategy, you’ve made it; you’ve achieved what you set out to do.

Whenever I set up a second sim on my iphone I lose most of my contact details so somehow they seem to still be tied to my sim?? (I have no clue)
Are the Ugyurs comparable to Wahhabists?

Also, does the US uniformly target Wahhabists ?
Yes, very much this.
I listened to the Stephen Mitchell audiobook during a week of patiently sanding something down.

That was the seed for a slow but radical change of perspective on life.
I don't wanna jinx it because it's certainly a useful tool but I wonder what will happen when Copilot is widely available and CS students start handing in their programming assignments done by Copilot (and only Copilot).

Ah yes, from the company that absolutely hates right-to-repair.
The situation can be improved by actually contributing instead of asking for features.
>while a judge or jury can better say "that's just an ineffective tweak".

yea, in a few years. By the time the case is settled, tech would already move on to the next big scheme to extract data or engagement.

I saw this in real time while the game industry was deliberating over the concept of lootboxes. Send out some lobbyists, convince the ESRB that they are fine, etc. The goal was just to stall for time, not win. By the time some countries started banning them, many studios already jumped ship to the "battle pass" model. They don't even care if lootboxes are banned anymore

The industry moves too fast to be penalized like this.

>it wouldn't really need a popup, since users who know about it can talk about it and recommend it in their feeds.

sure, just like how most social media talk about productive topics and recommend healthy, wholesome options in their feeds.
This author is confused. Maple syrup is a product derived from the sap of maple trees.

Making corn syrup and flavoring it to imitate maple syrup is another thing. But they are not the same.

Also, maybe the author is unfamiliar with Vermont. Yes, they export maple syrup in food grade containers. Yes, many Vermonters tap their own trees, receive from neighbors, and buy from farms that don’t sell to grocery stores the author may be familiar with.

I don’t know what I just read but I definitely don’t recommend reading it especially if you’ve ever had actual maple syrup

They might not care about it being compulsorily acquired at a decent price. They'd be less likely to have an emotional attachment to an investment property than to their current or ancestral home.
I would say TMI is much more technical because it's written for the "Hardcore Dharma" community which is far more technique-oriented than Goenka. Goenka doesn't approach the stages of insight adaptively, which can easily frustrate practitioners of mindfulness whose first intro to meditation is body-scanning. I would rank body-scanning as one of the least efficacious techniques with very poor results when applied to the physical pain that often results from long sits.

Good meditation teaching is equipping the practitioner with a toolset with the right tool applied for the appropriate stage of practice.

TMI and Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha are necessarily complex because they are treating the entire path toward nibbana as a segmented map of attainment. I can think of virtually no technique which can be applied from the beginning to the end except for very difficult-to-approach techniques such as shikantaza ("just sitting") or the ekayana ("one vehicle") techniques of the Quanzhen ("complete reality") Chinese Buddhism schools. If you think TMI is obtuse try and approach the Shurangama Sutra which is really a mindfuck. But here's the thing: unconditioned existence is a mindfuck so we often need "lesser" graduated techniques to approach the paradoxical nature of reality.
I am a couple years younger than you. For non-technical stuff, I'm more comfortable with video format, and there's going to be several videos on the same topic, better than getting narrow story from single book. Podcast is kinda ok too. Knowledge these days need competitions, you likely to just buy single book for a set of topic based on reviews. But for video or audio content, there are plenty!
Also the core-js maintainer single handedly carried that project, with no financial support from Babel (or hardly anyone else for that matter). It became a vital part of the ecosystem, and then the community hung him out to dry when he asked for more support. The whole thing was shameful, especially those who mocked him for his unfortunate personal situation.
Okay but how many FOSS projects decide to pivot like Ukuu did and just drop the F? If the free is killing you, stop being free. Leave your free repo as is, add a link to your purchase page for future versions.

Where’s the problem? People seem hell bent on sticking to core principles until their dying breath, but that’s not healthy.

Edit: and before people start laying into me about free as in speech/beer, this article is about the latter, not the former.

Have the exact same setup, 16" M1 Max, and a 14" M1 Pro and handoff issues can get annoying. Sometimes the issue is caused by switching the initializing screen push from one computer to the other. In essence changing the master, which decides who’s peripherals will be shared. This definitely feels “beta” as they’ve labeled it. A lot of progress but beta and I tip my hat to the team working on it.

Meh. It’s harmless. You get a helpful compiler error the first time and you very quickly learn. I’ve been a C programmer for >20 years and this slight difference wouldn’t bother me.

Explaining it is simple:

‘.’ uses a reference and produces a reference

‘->’ uses a pointer and produces a pointer
And in addition to that, wary of my lack of knowledge in this area, will the change be passed down the generations?
That’s a shame…it was the most annoying thing about Quora to me.

As a Medium writer, I’m annoyed now! They already stopped paying me my ~0-10$ per month because I refused to beg everyone to get to their new minimum 100 followers requirement for getting paid.
So all those things sound tactical to me, they wouldn't persist from game to game or even session to session. You would need to adjust them according to your opposition.

Whereas strategic decisions would be about how you select your players or how you balance players fitness against their freedom to do what they want. Stuff that would transcend individual games or even seasons.
Hi, Pete! I loved the work you did in South Bend. Do you have a lead on a used electric car that will seat four people and our dog? Budget is 12k. Thanks!
That is a good joke.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true.

Do I trust ProtonVPN’s free tier less than I trust a random access point named (say) “NYC Free WIFI”? I would say no: I know who ProtonVPN is, and I’m only trusting them, not all their other users.

I agree a lot of free VPNs are shady as fuck, but free tiers from reputable companies are reasonable, and if anything may be more trustworthy than your home ISP.

I grepped through the PDF of the bill and found this:

>“Child user” means a person who uses a social media platform and is not
older than 17 years of age.

I was already wary of the bill in general, but thinking about parents suing Snapchat or Instagram over some high school drama (that would happen anyway, social media or not) seems to be almost dystopic from a technical point of view. Literally shooting the messenger.

Not sure if HN allows links to PDF's, but the first link of [this news article](https://dot.la/social-media-addiction-california-bill-265698...) will get you to the bill I found.

I'd recommend padded waterproof cycling shorts under your salopettes if learning to snowboard. My arse was so cold after a morning of sitting on the snow that I couldn't feel the toilet seat beneath it!

French view is that religion has no place in school or public administration. There's a clear separation between religion and state, including public schools. That being said, the government has no matter to forcing spiritual beliefs or clothes in private space.

I think that that was the real driving force there. The people who were serious about the accusations were probably useful idiots. And I don't think that the Guardian was among the useful idiots, because people at the Guardian don't seem to operate at that level of idiocy...

You are right but RISC-V variable instruction size is indeed a good trade-off.

Unlike x86 where instructions can range from 1 up to 15 byte, current RISC-V ISA only has 2 instruction sizes.

Today x86 decoding is limiting because we want to decode more than ~4 instructions each cycle, for RISC-V to cause same decoding difficulty it would probably be required to decode more than ~20 instructions each cycle
Open Source volunteerism is the result of the early hacking culture and of what makes the Internet special: people choose to experiment and share their work, and their work can reach every corner of the world. It has no significant parallel in other industries, it's beautiful, and I owe it my career.

However, it's not a sustainable, fair, or effective foundation for an industry with the responsibility to power modern society. We need the critical role of Open Source maintainer to professionalize. This is most likely to happen through capture by large intermediaries, but I wish to see it happen through the formation of a serious professional role, organized independently or in small firms, like lawyers.

This will require changes both from the maintainers [1] (become legible, get a LLC, send real invoices, offer guarantees) and from companies [2] (pay the maintainers, pay them real money, pay for maintenance, and keep paying them).

My 23-year-old V12 7 series has electrically heated catalytic converters for this very reason. Thanks to those, according to German regs it qualifies as a ULEV! I think it still stinks at first start. Also, the cats cost two grand each to replace and the car requires a second battery to power them without draining the main starting battery so much that the car won't turn over. That's probably why we don't see more of this...

Expecting an American cell plan to work without interruption for extended amounts of time abroad without paying extra for that, or VERY closely checking your contract terms before leaving, is misguided.

From a European perspective, coming to America/Canada is very expensive. You have to have a very fancy phone plan to "freely" roam there, and you'd know about it.

This is a case of poor planning. I'm not sure Fi is the bad organisation here.

Isn't strategy the answer to the how question? Why is usually called "vision", even though in many cases it amounts to "making money with the tools and knowledge we have."
I believe A) is already happening, so the need for B) is decreasing. I hate social media personally, but I don't want it sued to oblivion anymore than I want WOW to be (Also hate MMOs). Just like WOW, I find it best to crash and burn on its own (lack of) merits
In this particular case there is nothing to communicate that doesn't fit nicely in a tweet.

Critique isn't jealousy. Expect to grow out of that PoV in 5-10 years.
No, it can't. More contributions require more maintainer effort, not less, if you want the project to follow a design and pursue a goal, rather than be a kitchen sink.
A normal person should install a LTS distro and use it for 5-10 years, a normal person has no need to know what gcc version or python version is installed.

Hopefully no extreme fanboy tricks a normal user to install his favorite bleeding edge distro that needs under the hood knowledge , heavy maintenance and troubleshooting skills.

The story is different if you need Linux for your work or you LOVF thinkering.
Perhaps it's a desperate attempt to defer the problem of what the organization should look like. The more nodes you have in your graph, the easier it will be to collapse it into something that maps to the organization you want?
The recent elementary OS melt down shows the problem with this path. Creating a business to act as a middle man creates a situation where no one can reach the people who want to do maintenance because business interests will develop and want to hold the code hostage. It is better to form non-profits that hire maintainers.
I wasn't aware the use use for Belarus territories, but looking at the older maps you're indeed correct. It's a convenient term because it can justify "protecting" your "little" brother from the evil West.
Is that really the outcome we want? That large companies fork all the OSS they need and take control away from the maintainers? Because it's what is going to happen if we don't build an alternative where maintainers have a proper career path.
>California has famously bad positions on anything related to morality but this is great.

I disagree, this is diverting the social responsibility back to the mailmen. This won't solve any of the underlying issues that cause these problems.

It's just the modern form of bathroom walls. The issues won't change, just the medium. I guess for the highly anti-coporaate who just want to see trillionaires stuck to it, it's exhilarating. But the things about many of these "think of the children" bills is that children are rarely the subject of the bill.

IMO this is peak sweeping under the rug of the psychological and sociological problems the modern youth face. But that's hard to solve. pointing fingers is easy.
It was also a way to overcome national and economic barriers that would exist if they e.g. set a price for the software.

"unhuman" isn't even a word, how are you so confident what it means?
Worked in a similar environment. Events and logs. When a single page view does 200+ database queries, triggers another hundred requests, ML services, analytics and other tracking, and a transaction kicks off a chain of a hundred events in your stream, it's pretty easy to reach those insane numbers. That one page view can easily add 1MB of data.

Just like performance optimization, it's cheaper to buy more hardware than to pay for humans to think about it and coordinate.
Well Jehovah's witnesses think it's important to use the personal name of their god, so it's a bit amusing that they get the name wrong. It's like they fell at the first hurdle.

To be fair, the mistranslation predates them. I see they acknowledge the issue and think it doesn't matter.

I guess it's a bit of a coordination/communication issue with other JWs and with the world at large. The fact that they stick with this mistake doesn't mean that individual Witnesses, or the group as a whole, are stupid, or don't understand their own religion.

Charlottesville continues to be a strange sticking point. It is emblematic of the lack of political influence these groups have. The statue in question has since been removed, so they don't even have enough influence to defend one non-descript statue in wherever Charlottesville is.

Trump's total condemnation of the white nationalists somehow transformed into a ringing endorsement. Lets just underline that a few times - the only political support the protesters seem to have gotten was largely imaginary and devised for cheap political points.
The technical difference between sharding and partitioning is at which level the split lies. If you're splitting the data storage within a single database, it's called partitioning. If you're splitting the data across multiple databases instead, it's sharding.

But you can't implement either if you haven't logically partitioned your data first.
Ubuntu is a solid choice, its online support is good and as you said easily googleable for help. I wouldn't get too wrapped up in alternatives until you know what you want.

There is a strong streak of contrarianism running through the linux community that I fall prey to occasionally, where the cool kids push some obscure distribution like it is superior, but I would ignore that. The innovation does come from those impulses sometimes but the hidden truth about linux is a lot of corporate developers work hard on the gnarly tech improvements while the broader community works on fluff like animated windows burning.

I like to get stuff done, and mainstream distros allow you to ignore the noise and get on with producing stuff.
> There are also ways to sweep things under the rug if those in charge are so inclined

Lol, exactly

> But the existence of those things doesn't mean pen tests aren't done, or that nobody cares about security.

No one said that. Are you okay?

>What evidence do you have that all of those things are fake? Or that none of the compliance officers actually check it?

I know for a fact that they do and that those documents are not fake :)
I think bureaucracy is broken generally. It is a fallacy that all problems can be avoided or solved by "due process" since life is infinitely more complex. How many people have been told by a Local Authority that something is 5mm too wide or 30cm too close to the road?

I think the only solution, like we have in UK Courts, is that you need people who are trusted with an amount of knowledge and wisdom (i.e. the Judges) who are permitted to, for example, visit a property and take a holistic view. "Is the drain slightly too close to the road? Yeah but realistically 90% of the other properties have a contravention that is not enforced so just get on with it".

We used to have something similar in Local Authorities in the UK where the "Borough Engineer", pretty much had the last call on roads, street lighting etc. If you wanted to make representations, you wrote to them and they decided whether they cared about what you were complaining about. No appeals.

As the article says, where this gets unfair, people think that by adding process or sign-off, you get the best of all worlds but the truth is, that only works if everybody wants the same thing, otherwise as OP says, people game the process even if they can't win as some malicious act to cost the builders money.
I'm arguing against middleman businesses, not for.

I don't see the non-profit model scaling to the whole industry, and the examples we have today of non-profit foundations mostly don't pay maintainers. For example, Log4j is under the Apache Foundation but none of the developers on its committee were being paid.

That might be fine for the operating system.

But Windows native applications come in many flavors including Win32, WinForms, WPF and UWP.

Then you have the Electron applications like VSCode.

All of those flavors have their own look and feel so at the application level the Windows UI/UX is all over the place.
I can imagine a case where a desk will be allocated only at last minute because of some logistics issues, but this is not normal. Onboarding team must guarantee that all necessary resources are available to the employee from their first day of work, otherwise this will be inefficient use of budget. This is important because even if some onboarding events happen across multiple days, some time must be offered on the first day to the new starter to accommodate, process all the information and make themselves comfortable. Until new starters have some private space where they can work and keep their belongings, those people will feel alien to the company.
