"Due to the enormous impact of the failure in the IT system, it is unfortunately not possible to run any trains today." I think the writer is more pointing the finger at IT than feeling apologetic. Imagine getting called an enormous failure by your adjacent department, that writer wants you to know who screwed up instead of apologize for their screw up. Seems more useful than an apology in my opinion.

Their response was about how it wasn’t the secret to mongol success specifically. The mongols had the double recurved bow and the advantage of a fully nomadic pastoral society in which all adult males were trained to be warriors. That and Genghis Khan’s decimal system is what transformed them into a fearsome conquering machine.

.. okay that's actually a great perk. IIRC the French national railway company, SNCF, provide only a limited number of tickets per employee (like 10 per year? someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Their UX is also atrocious though (websites are just shit at workflows, apps are weird and break easily, ticket machines are OK but with really bad touch screens, and train announcement screens are each running Windows XP(with literally hundreds, if not thousands of them on big train stations), while from what i recall NS was acceptable.
Sorry, I don't mean to pry as I don't know your full situation, but if you want to live in a 1st world country, there are much easier ways than an interview at Google/Meta.

I live in a western European country, and my cheap neighborhood is full of unskilled migrants, and they came here without being crack-shots at leetcode, I know that much.

Nobody thinks like that after fighting in the war, they might die tomorrow. Who else might have "done it"? Ukrainians themselves? What a very bad joke.
This list should define the priority levels they're using.

I think it goes: Basic, Recommended, Optional, Advanced (in increasing effort|security|paranoia).
These are Ukrainians found tortured, mutilated, raped and killed, not Russians. There is plenty of evidence in the linked article. Please don't do this here.
And yet this action has provoked precisely the opposite reaction - a desire across Europe to entirely cease dependence on Russian energy altogether.

I doubt that horse milk was the major source of calories, since horses only produce small amounts of milk and the foals need to be around too. Fermented horse milk (Airag) is a (mildly alcoholic and relatively expensive) specialty beverage in Mongolia today, but certainly not a staple food.

I think it is more likely that they brought dehydrated meat and dairy with them, which are common in Mongolia to this day.
Probably they also added to their diet what they found along their way, at least meat. Maybe they even tried some grain.

Honestly, I fail to see the problem, if I had to run `ls --no-awesome-ls-pro-upgrade-msg` once when I installed it the first time. And if I did not like it, I could use one of the alternatives to `ls` or build my own.

In LibreOffice I have to click a "Don't show tip of the day again" every time I install it on an new machine, and personally I have no problem with that. If I had, I would use something else.

Zsh asks me to configure it, first time I run it. I find that slightly annoying, but not to the extend that I would even consider complaining, sending a patch, or using an alternative.

But I assume you are aware that your comparison is really not valid: Parellel is not limited in features - you do not get extra features by paying/citing. What you are doing is keeping it alive.

Airag, kefir and yoghurt have pretty distinct taste profiles though. Not only the milk differs a bit, but also the involved processes and microbes.

> If you can't afford to run something forever, you probably shouldn't advertise it as free forever.

Sorry, what do you mean by "forever" in this instance?

10 years? 20 years? 50 years? 100 years?

200 years?

500 years?

What if you start out being able to afford it but suddenly lose most of your funding overnight as result of bad press, and then have a court case on top of that?

What if millions more people are using the internet and blogging than ever before? What if file sizes suddenly inflate to the point that what was tens of thousands of images, is now only a hundred images?

The difference between 2002 and 2022, technology-wise, is extremely vast. 20 years is a very long time for a company providing a web service to have lasted.

This really doesn't hold up on any level, the more questions you ask about the conditions of "forever", and the more you bring reality into the whole thing, huh.
What continues to happen is when the next big thing in text editing shows up--Textmate, Sublime, BBEdit, and now VS Code, there are lots of those users who become disillusioned (for all kinds of reasons) and end up on Vim.

I can’t speak for them but I wanted an editor that I wouldn’t outgrow, was extensible and programmable—Vim does not disappoint.

The composability of Vim is its killer feature IMHO regardless of what’s new and shinny.

I see lots of complaints about VSCode being an Electron app and while its performance has improved a great deal over the years, it can bog down with large files, etc.

And even though I’ve been using Vim (now mostly Neovim), for 10+ years, I continue to learn about features that have been around forever but I didn’t need or care about until just recently.

One of the articles that got me started down this rabbit hole is the famous (in certain circles) "Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.” essay that’s a response to a question on Stack Overflow [1].

You are wrong to say there's no way to test anything. Imagine an enormous AI generating test cases for you constantly, in an adversarial fashion, with built-in rewards for advancing a more correct understanding of the text. Lawyers call this "testing", rightly so. If you are interested in efficiency / cost-effectiveness, it's got lots to be desired. But if you are interested in the internal integrity of the document etc, then this is better than almost anything developers have.

I hate these words as I type them but the law is also "agile" (ugh). It gets modified as it's used. It does not need high-assurance machine-verified "referential integrity". In my entire course of studying the law I don't think I've seen a single legal dispute over a problem of referential integrity. Mistakes, especially drafting mistakes, are corrected on the fly pretty much everywhere they appear, and then they disappear. For a dev, using the wrong variable name in a bad language could mean you introduce a huge security vulnerability and massive loss of trust. (Or if you write smart contracts, $100M down the drain.) For lawyers, referring to the wrong section has essentially zero consequences. Nobody cares. Maybe you get a funny look from a senior.

Finally re the 10k LOC tangent that this is supposed to be connected to, I'm not really sure what you're complaining about. You get "10kLOC" cases, but you also get well-organised practice guides & bench books. Laws in statute are typically very well organised, in my experience about 5-10x better than the average codebase. Laws are organising large swaths of the sum total of human endeavour, just as code does. I would say developers are behind overall, which makes sense for a discipline that's less than a century old.
That's right, although we need not to let emotions prevail and at least ask for independent investigation.

I have no knowledge who did it because I haven't seen any investigation yet. And yes, I wouldn't rule out anything. War is ugly, people do ugly things. It's not a fight of angels with demons.

> This is not the case. Sounds like something that comes from a pop account of crecy or agincourt? Gunpowder is closer to the mark, but funnily enough armor kept getting heavier longer than many realize. The full plate harnesses that people generally picture when they think of a “knight in shining armor” are really Renaissance/early modern, well after the Middle Ages.

Really a combination of weapons (first crossbows - not because they were super effective against knight armor, but because it was cheaper to train crossbowmen, then gunpowder for the same reasons. Knights were reasonably effective well after primitive gunpowder weapons.) and gradual decline of feudalism and thus knights as a class, as Monarchs started transitioning to standing/professional armies.

Also, as manufacturing improved, it became much cheaper to equip soldiers with standardized equipment rather than rely on tailored to the individual hand-made full-plate armor.

As always, the truth is somewhere between economics and cultural/tech shift.
A much more efficient automation.

For instance, running high speed rail without computer signalling would be a huge risk there's no sense in taking ( due to the speeds involved, by the time you see anything of issue like a train or damage in the tracks in front, it's too late to stop).
Don’t get confused by Kremlin propaganda.

It’s Putins neighbours that desperately want to get into NATO so he doesn’t invade and slaughter them like he’s doing with Ukraine now. He has a history of his behaviour.
For speed I'd look at Ruby on Rails.

The way it's been explained to me, Rails packages (gems) are like prefab bathrooms and kitchens. Compared to e.g., Node.js packages which provide things like "sink" and "tap" and "door handle."

E.g., in Rails there's a popular auth package that includes password reset and recovery functionality:

https://github.com/heartcombo/devise

Always a pain to build, and not something these popular Node.js packages save you from doing over and over again:

http://www.passportjs.org/

https://next-auth.js.org/

EDIT: It sounds like I'm picking on those packages. I don't mean to, just want to highlight the difference in philosophy between the Node.js and Rails approaches.
That isn't useful for 99% of passengers. He obviously meant run a reasonable percentage of trains, like 25-50%.
Some possibilities here: https://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/31753/short-term-diplomac...

I'm not sure how well they'd give people the idea of the full game though. I suppose a better approach might be to take them through a game replay and talk about the strategy and likely communications going on throughout. Even less likely than finding a group of friends willing to sit through a game of Diplomacy would be finding a group willing to sit through a lengthy explanation of the game rather than just jumping in though, so I guess that's likely not such a good suggestion after all.
I'm sure, like Ukraine, they are now regretting that decision.
That definitely wasn’t their initial goal.
> which are programmed somewhat like regular computers but just with an astonishingly high number of threads.

But they aren't that; they are actually wide vector processors, which means groups of threads need to be doing the same thing for it to perform properly! Branches and divergent control flow kill GPU performance.

I'm sure you already know this, but I'm just pointing out for other folks reading. If GPUs were just CPUs with stupidly high core counts then things would be way easier, but it's more complicated than that.
...and we see what happens when we do the things he warns about in a consistent manner, yet people still continue to mock and ignore him.

I think we should get rid of the Controlled Substances Act and the DEA. Everything should be available over the counter from a pharmacist on request. (I'd still involve the pharmacist because they're a professional at identifying drug interactions and such, but you shouldn't require a scrip to get access to medication.)

But in your original comment you asked if there is any evidence that there is adverse effects from excess prescriptions. And, well, there's plenty of adverse effects from meth use (source: every trailer park in small town America). And studies have shown that the amphetamines commonly prescribed for ADHD produce an indistinguishable high amongst recreational users.

So if you made these drugs unscheduled and available over the counter, you'd basically just replace drug cartels and your local dealer with the Pharma industry and your local CVS. Which don't get me wrong, is a massive fucking improvement! I'm all for that. But you'd certainly also have a heck of a lot of meth-heads wrecking their lives with over-the-counter meds.

Any such legalization and normalization would require active community support and intervention to help substance abusers too.

This feels like a bit of a historical trope.

It doesn't even make economic sense. During a war you're not going to invest as much into R&D (especially basic research), industrial production, etc, because you know, you have to... build the things that kill the other people.

To me war feels more like the thing that publicizes the things we've discovered since the last war, because the way (pop) history is presented, everything is about:

- wars (because they're "interesting", finding out about the slow accretion of inventions that lead to the mass production of iron is less cool)

- great people (99% great men)

The fact that it happened on a Sunday suggests to me that this is the result of a service outage gone awry. Realize that the trains failing on a Sunday is really not a big deal. However, if the trains don't run for Monday morning rush hour that is a big deal. I bet they made a change Saturday night and something broke Sunday morning.

It's now Monday morning here and the trains are back to normal in time for rush hour. So it's not really a big deal.
