They’ve also been working on building/fostering an innovation hub in the capital, Astana. A “free trade” zone, of sorts, where Western property and business law applies in order to attract talent & encourage investment. My understanding is they’re hoping to be a “market” for startups between East and West similar to Singapore or Hong Kong. They want to attract talent from China and Russia who can then fundraise from the West who will (presumably) be more interested in investing in a lower-risk jurisdiction that uses a familiar legal system.

I’m not sure it’s quite as easy to just “use” Western law as Kazakhstan seems to think. The black letter law doesn’t matter so much as how it’s interpreted and whether it’s consistently applied in court. It’s an interesting idea, though. And if they can get it off the ground it seems like a good strategy to take advantage of their unique geo-political position.
Pair programming almost destroyed a small team at my remote-first company. It's a powerful tool but some developers don't know when to stop.
Solving performance by mindlessly adding indexes works great as long as you don't have all too much data and have endless RAM.

The index backing the unique constraint on the URL table for my search engine is around 23 Gb. The entire server has 128 Gb of RAM, for comparison.
Or by staking for loans, other transactions.
"know there are limits to MySQL"

I have gone past mysql limits a few times. Will you go beyond its capability is a simple measure. Can your hardware write fast enough to keep up? If your hardware maxes out writing to disk 200 megs per second, welp mysql maxes out at 200 megs per second. If you need 400 megs per second of writing, well you need two instances that can write independently. That is when you are fucked. At that point you get into sharding* and doing whacky things mysql isn't meant todo. Reading things from disk, mysql's replication scales just fine.
Their paid managed service works well for enterprise SaaS companies who need < 3-4 TB of storage max ever per customer cluster and have enterprise scale users (<100k users).

It also works well for early stage Consumer Internet startups that haven't yet achieved huge growth but care a lot about developer productivity while churning features at high velocity.

But it gets blamed for reliability issues suffered by highly successful Consumer Internet companies that have achieved scale and have DAU, MAU in > 10M and have lot more than 4TB of data in a single cluster.

But that's basically a good problem to have at that stage. Usually such a company would have many more problems – monolithic application with monolithic database with huge unmanageable schema and indexes gone wild etc. Usual solution at that stage would be some sort of rearchitecture towards Microservices with multiple specialized databases for different use-cases – usually cloud hosted managed databases with horizontal scalability dedicated for online user-path workloads and separate OLAP tech stack for offline ETL/analytics workloads.
"It's too hard to keep it under wraps therefore it doesn't seem likely" seems kind of ridiculous in the face of all that man has accomplished.
The "World Wrecking"? It's a regional war over spheres of influence. Does NATO control Ukraine or does Russia? That's the question.

Yes, if an artillery shell hits your apartment building, that's tragic, but most people--whether economic migrants (so-called "refugees") or executives at Raytheon, or Neocons, or WEF sociopaths, or the same Russophobes who brought you the Steele dossier, and so on, are all using this to advance their own interests. Try, this time, to not be a sucker.
Not Liberalism, rather Democracy everywhere is the goal.

It's only fair to question how Qatar treats human rights or how China treats anyone opposed to the ruling party to name a few examples.
Yes, we have learned that whistleblowers are persecuted and prosecuted
It's a currency now, for dozens of nations and hundreds of millions of humans.

I'm afraid your comment doesn't make much sense.
Why would we cut the branch we're sitting on?
No, there is clear evidence and the proliferation of conspiracy theories to promote specific political goals has been studied and documented by sociologists.
Lol, what a load of bs that comment is. Straight anti-union propaganda.

Why would the workers insist on this? Most workers want their company to succeed, just not succeed because of exploiting people.
The ARPANET itself went live in September 1969:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET

In 1983, with-in 14 years, it was widely successful for the academic and research institutions it was originally built for. It then started getting 'mainstream' attention.

ARPANET was opened up to commercial use in 1993, which is with-in ten years from TCP/IP go-live: again with-in 14 years.
Why can't a company use cloud? It's not like there's Amazonbox client I could install now and get the same service. Dropbox never was about the storage itself, IMHO - it was about the ease of usage. There were enough options to get storage - cloud or non-cloud - when it came out, but none of them had the easy folder-based sync and sharing (public folder) of Dropbox.
That is very similar to the Taskpaper syntax if you end up wanting some additional tooling in the future.

This is why good customer support and warranties are as important as the product itself. It doesn't matter how big the company is either. It's why people pay more for certain brands, especially in the enterprise and professional creative markets.

Hang in there. Recalibrating can take a long time.
Choosing a technology that supports your business needs and growth, and that also lets you easily migrate to something else once it stops being suitable (or your requirements change, or you discover a way in which the tech doesn't work for you, or whatever), doesn't sound like a questionable technology decision, it sounds like a great one.
When I hear "isometric", I think "not perspective", which is a style I like a lot. For example, google image "isometric city".

However, looking at the video on the OpenMW site, it does look perspective.
> GSnow on Grief

> Alright, here goes. I'm old. What that means is that I've survived (so far) and a lot of people I've known and loved did not. I've lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can't imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here's my two cents. I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see. As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive. In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life. Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out. Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks.
Indeed; I think people take things too seriously. If you are a software engineer you make enough money and are enough in demand to just try it. Move back if you don't like it.

DFW concluded that if you don’t choose what to worship it gets chosen for you. What he’s saying is that one should be conscious and deliberate, self aware. Like much of DFW there’s a strong christian undercurrent to ‘this is water’. Far from being an argument against religion and worship the message i take is that the value of religion can be that it focuses one outward, towards community and so on.
Ask HN: How to make side income of 500-3k$ a month as a CTO?
I've been the CTO and co-founder at my company for many years now, and while the business is running it's not matching my desired income.

I have a lot of time on my hand at the moment (reduced time in the office)

but I don't feel like I have more than 20 hours a week I can give to something else, and at the same time I'm not really coding much on a daily bases anymore.

my skill set includes: engineering leadership, Java / J2EE, react, react-native, android, iOS, aws

any ideas? what would you do if you were in my shoes
>Sidenote, I wonder what it is about assembly programs that triggers antivirus software so much.

Probably that they use sequences of instructions that no compiled code uses, such as ad-hoc calling conventions.

The cynic me thinks his Russian “advisers” told him that’s the correct way. Because the current situation is unsustainable and instead of chaos they can’t deal with right now, they both get to maintain their power and for the FSB dealing with a few more people with less power but more aspirations might be a better deal.

At the end of the day they are buying time and what is given by decree can also be taken way by decree either formally or in practical terms.

Let’s hope I’m wrong or they really get what they just pretended to want.
This is really interesting. I remember as a child changing my handwriting so that i wrote "a" the same way that it appears on the computer. I still do it to this day, because it's much faster for me to write an "upside down e" in one stroke than the other way. I similarly write "d" with a single stroke too. I wonder if there are any fonts that replicate that kind of minimal stroke count handwriting?
Don't know why this is being downvoted. The FBI is the incorrect part of the Federal government to contact (I suspect you want the HHS instead) and US whistleblower laws do not protect whistleblowers sufficiently and becoming one is a very risky thing to do.
If everyone could reape the benefits but don't pay there would be no unions.

Did your wife also try to skip paying taxes? Do you have "no problems with taxes as long as they're not mandatory"?

Giving to churches seems like it's a complicating factor here. I wonder what happens if you include political donations?
You’re viewing the risk from the point of view of hindsight. Of course it wasn’t a risk, what we got was successful.

Put it in context back before the game existed. The Zelda games are selling well, but they’re never Nintendo’s most successful games. What they are is Nintendo’s most revered. They have a great formula, designed by Miyamoto and polished to perfection by his successors. The critiques are getting deafening though. It’s getting too linear, the dungeons are turning slowly into content tubes, and the time spent on story is too long. What do you do? You don’t do Breath of the Wild to break the mould, you do Link Between Worlds.

Link Between Worlds is less linear, and harkens back to the SNES for its story and interaction. You take a step back from your mould, you redefine it.

But then BAM! They completely redesigned everything with Breath of The Wild. Link Between Worlds is but a mere footnote. That’s gutsy, and risky.
> Among the most toxic phrases to use with anyone who's grieving is, "I know how you feel."
No. You do not. You CANNOT. It is profoundly insulting and diminishing to claim you do.

I find this perspective arrogant, rude, and counterproductive. Other people have experienced profound grief as well. They are communicating, possibly inelegantly, it’s possible to get through the grief (what better gift can someone offer than hope?) and they are making themselves available if you need support. And ultimately, they are expressing condolences and sympathy.

Grief should be shared. Grief does not make you special. Confronting grief alone is a recipe for depression and madness.
yeah, you assert your status by being able to ignore cultural/office norms.
Can wind, water and air combine in a new energy revolution?
Abstract political and ethical concepts do not work in actual competitive biological reality.

Even in very religious societies (Hindu, Jews, Muslims) all such abstract constructions are nothing but virtue signalling.

Reality is what is going on in Mariupol right now.
Perhaps it's your privilege blinding you? Just a thought.
Usually after they're dead and the art community has reached an agreement that they were pretty great, though; it's not much of a status game if it doesn't bear fruit while you're around to enjoy it.
For-profit hospitals do not improve care. There is simply no way to remove money from patient care pathways and improve outcomes.
There was definitely some Christianity amongst the Nazis. I'm fairly certain that Hitler, and most of the leadership, were atheist. Modern Nazis are definitely very Christian.

Not taking sides, I am atheist but not a Nazi. I just don't think saying Nazis were Christians is necessarily correct.
"Ring theory"[0] was one of the most important things anyone shared with me when my sister died.

Tl;dr: Whoever was the closest to the deceased is in the innermost ring, perhaps a spouse, a parent, close siblings (in my case, my sister's husband).

The next ring is the people next-closest, in this case, my mom.

The next ring includes the next-closest people, like me, my brother, my dad, etc. And the rings keep going outward.

Here's the rule: You can dump absolutely any pain, need, or struggle you have on anyone who's in a farther/larger ring than you are. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE are you allowed to dump anything on anyone in a closer ring. Support works one way in the ring. The outer layers support the inner ones. ONLY.

Very early on, I relayed this to one of my sister and brother-in-law's friends and asked him to make sure anybody who wanted to connect with us understood. He did it masterfully, and I recommend tucking this theory in the back of your mind somewhere for when you need it.

I would strongly recommend moving to the US and see for yourself. I generally liked it and it gave me an income that I could have only dreamed of in my native european country.
Took me a second to get the reference. (It’s one of JC Denton’s lines from the first level of Deus Ex)
In my experience as someone with adhd who is a perpetual procrastinator, gamification apps and any new shiny system to get me working last 1 to 3 months which, while not great, is better than nothing..
TBH the average user would be confused if their autoscaling workers were "online and billed for" if some random npm package or a coding accident had "background behavior". Firing off a background task into something similar to AWS SQS is really the right way for this scenario to be handled.
You are conveniently ignoring that a democratically elected government was violently overthrown in Ukraine, with the involvement of the US, and not everyone was okay with it.

After that, those who dissented ended up protesting, and later being supported by Russia. You are not mentioning the explicit discrimination against ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, the extrajudicial kidnappings and killings, which were not only not condemned, but often cheered upon by the "new" institutions.

You are making it look like the war in Donbas did not arise from legitimate population concerns/their self-determination will, but rather a Russian operation.
There is no surprising truth here. It’s an advertisement for a book.
I lost my father and then 10 years later my brother to suicide. With my father, I already had a therapist, so I worked through it with her. With my brother, I didn’t have one and I was about to travel alone to a foreign country for a few years. I was much more isolated and I explicitly thought, “Nope. I am not going to feel this right now.”

Grieving my father took 2 years or so to overcome. Grieving my brother took about 4 years. They were different situations and relationships, so I can’t ascribe the difference solely to therapy.

I will just say that for me, the only way to get the grief to go away is to feel it. Journaling, music, solo hikes, therapy, whatever it takes. The nice thing about therapy is that it holds you accountable. You have to think about it for an hour a week. Now, you can bullshit your way through therapy and stick to surface stuff, but then what’s the point. If you really crack open the shell and let the anger, despair, confusion pour out, it will eventually get better.

Either way (therapy or no), it is like a deep cut. There will be a scar. It will never go back to how it was before. But I hope you find some peace.
How many days in the last 5 years has Bitcoin done a 50% change in a 24hr period?

On how many of those occasions was there no opportunity, within say 3-12 months, to sell for higher afterward?

and if you don't have the answer to this...
But only on your own funds. No taxpayers money for abstract bullshit.

You missed the whole putin hair-splitting abstract bullshit.
The worst part about status is mostly how seriously people take it.

If you’re on either extreme, then, yeah, your life is different. But the nature of status is that it is statistically impossible for everyone to be high status. Thus, it is a zero sum game, and one which is usually rigged against you, and full of people who aren’t smart enough to realize this + are willing to give up more than you are. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

A small amount of self care and knowledge of oneself and how the world works is all you need to pass as mid-status.
PNG works quite well on these kinds of images too.
I agree that there the seeds of dystopia there, in the guise of progress.

Eg is decentralisation a universally good thing?

You can also interpret it as a means for big corporations to shift the burden onto the devices of the people who use their services, thereby decreasing their costs at the cost of the consumer. Making you and your hardware a node in their network.
So in practice, to exploit this someone would have needed to have been connected to the same local network at some point in time.

Yes, it’s still a vulnerability and Wyze should have actually responded in a reasonable period of time, but this really doesn’t seem like something to lose sleep over.
Why not skip all of that and work on/with web3 technologies instead?
I do not understand how it is "colonization" that free people choose a more democratic, freedom- and market based route for their country - as opposed to an autocratic, Soviet-inspired style of rule.

Large parts of Eastern Europe had a choice after the collapse of the Soviet Union and chose the way of the west/Europe, with all its challenges and shortcomings, because almost any system is better than living under the thumb of autocratic leadership.

I hope one day, not that many years from now, I can once again visit a prospering Ukraine, which will be a member of the EU. If that is what the Ukranian people want, that is.
Angrily shifting gears to go build after a long session seems a nice idea!
The book itself may be perfectly interesting, but this link gives only the shortest summary of what it contains, so is not itself particularly interesting.
At this point I only really buy things from Amazon that are essentially fungible. Cables, adapters, toiletries, tools, none of these matter enough to me to care about exactly what I get, as long as it’s roughly what’s in the picture, and to be honest they’re not even worth counterfeiting.

For everything else there’s rarely a reason to not buy directly from brands or niche specialist retailers. Customer support is typically better, warranties are often better, repair processes are better, and that’s not to mention the issue of counterfeiting.

github.com/nilock/vue-skuilder

It's been an every-other Sunday project for years, and while its current state / issue definitions / architecture isn't amenable to general collaboration, there are a couple of areas where an hour or two from someone who really knows the specific problem could save me 10+ hours (or 3 hours of abandoned spec-work).

- frontend tooling migration, specifically Vuetify 1.5x -> 2
- vue code-base migration: specifically migrating away from class-based-components (they seem more or less deprecated - change my mind!)
- evolutionary methods of curvefitting
- couch / pouchdb:
- practices for version control / ci of couchdb design docs
- practices for using pouchdb as to locally cache subsets of specific couch databases

If you think this sort of project has merit & you've got the above expertise, feel free to open a collab issue or contact directly: colin at mrkennedy dot ca
Don’t forget Cruise too.
Maybe not "purge," but it might be helpful for awhile to put the pictures somewhere they won't sneak up on you and surprise you.

Keep them somewhere you can look at them when you want to, but it's OK to take action not to have to have your guard up against waves of grief that could surprise you at any moment.

Random things will surprise you anyway. It's not foolproof. But minimizing your surprise surface can be helpful for awhile.
re: Putin controlled Medvedev

Well, some people say that under Medvedev Russia was a bit friendlier with USA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reset

I'm not sure that points highlighted in that article would happen if Putin was president (allowing U.S. forces fly over Russia, supporting Iran sanctions, reducing nuclear arsenals, U.S. dropping plan to build a missile defence shield in Eastern Europe).
