But white doesn't have the first move. From the post:

> Black to move. Black offered a draw...

> I agreed so we played ... h4 a5 h3 a6 h2 a7 h1(Q) a8(Q)+

If white was to move the story would make even less sense. You can try it out by changing "w" to "b" in your FEN.
I wonder if we in time will see a “new Soviet” block with a completely parallel ecosystem of computing devices - from military systems to toys, phones and personal computing.
I thought about building such a thing and have the right background. What do you think would be a good service to start with? I thought about k8s and then go on from there.
Not sure they're bragging about it - they're just stating it as context for their blog post.

And is 2000 moving parts too many? How many moving parts do you need to run a bank? I can imagine they're having to comply with ~2000 legislation clauses, for example. Isn't that just the complexity of their domain?
Sure, but the issue is uptake of Windows 11. Virtually no-one is going to use a workaround, official or not, so the low uptake is unsurprising, due to poor hardware support.
>> Gods gonna recognize hus folks

That was used, apparently, as an excuse by the Crusaders killing Christians. A bunch of scum, even by their own standards. The Doge, 80 and blind, played that bunch like fiddle so. He got a mercenary army to sack one of his biggest economic competitors for free, and he got to keep the plunder.
And that also does not justify an annexation of Cuba by the US, so we agree I believe that this Russian invasion is completely unjustified.
Probably the same things that drove Bush and other democratically elected warmongers.
The list was at least updated after iOS:

I've found wiibrew.org and hackmii.com in there which are both Wii homebrew sites that became popular around 2008/2009 and probably declined in popularity starting in ~2012/2013.

Then there's also wiiu-developers.nintendo.com and wiiudaily.com which probably didn't exist before late 2012 or early 2013 when the WiiU was released.
Imagine an Octopus like Goldman Sachs but for Enterprise Software.
Personally if I ever see something like that on a car I bough I simply came back to the seller "here your fraud-car's keys, I'll wait 24h for a FULL refund, otherwise you'll be contacted NOT by my lawyer directly but by local attorney on duty for commercial fraud and attempted extortion, copy of the complaint we be sent to the press".

Simple as that, AND with the needed trial following not just to obtain a ful refund + expenses BUT also to escalate to a laws that forbid selling things with plugged-in services.

Dear co-Citizens beware: being in a Democracy does not means that anything will go well by nature, we need to enforce democracy every days with common democratic instruments or we will discover that democracy have quickly change for a dictatorship.
The reality was that these were Russian warheads on Kazakh and Ukrainian soil, so it wasn't so much "giving up nukes" as "getting rid of foreign nuclear armed forces".

The units actually holding the genocide weapons were loyal to Moscow, so becoming the de-facto owners would have involved fighting with Russian nuclear armed military units. YOLO indeed.
Regarding gaming: in fact a lot of the big studios don't really care about PC as a platform in general, not specifically about Windows. See Elden Ring for example, it has a PC 'port' that is about the bare minimum you can get by nowadays (locked at 60, no ultrawide support, performance issues on non-high-end systems etc.). And that for a AAA title.

One would think that a modern game engine takes care of all the issues, allowing a studio to port their game from console to PC with the click of button. But reality has shown that this is not the case.

While modern consoles and cloud service (like Google Stadia) may use POSIX like OSes under the hood, you'd still be using a proprietary API to interface with the platform. Porting a game from PlayStation or Nintendo Switch to Linux is not easier than porting it over from Windows.

I've worked on a Google Stadia port in the past and are currently working a Nintendo Switch port, along with a PC port. If I had to port to native Linux, without Wine/Proton and DXVK, I'd take the PC version as basis.

Reading old books is advice given by Professor Steven Smith at the
conclusion of Yale lecture series PLSC 114: Introduction to Political
Philosophy. [1] It is also advice repeated by someone prominent like
Snowden (I recall vaguely) in answer to the question of intellectual
self-defence in an age of shallow wilful deceit.

Obscure books have a magnetism so I collect and read them. I love
wandering through those "bookstores" (which are really private
collections with a public storefront) in York, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and
Oxford, and finding titles that are unthinkable to the modern mind,
and which evoke a highly spiritual sense that mixes revelation,
melancholy, wonder and an excited sense of the forbidden (I am sure
many a hacker can relate to this).

Most can be bought for a few quid and I generally read only a little
of each, but keep its title/contents in mind as a reference for
inspiration. Note for insatiable progressives: minus the fire hazard a
good bookshelf provides decent thermal insulation and pleasant
acoustics, even if you can't read anything unless it's on a
screen. Just reaching out to a shelf now I find:

"The riddle of the universe: Being an attempt to determine the first
principles of metaphysic, considered as an inquiry into the conditions
and import of consciousness by Edward Douglas Fawcett, London 1893.
It's got a strange marbled cover and smells of time-travel.

I paid 2 bucks for it. If nothing else it contains one of the most
original takes on Idealism , Shelling and Hegel, and a delightful
"Criticism of Critique" which would make anyone who likes to denounce
post-modernism feel like they'd been handed a light-sabre.

Here in Norway we have a law to handle recycling and waste handling of electrical equipment[1].

It requires importers and producers of electrical and electronic equipment to be a member of a return company like Norsirk or RENAS[2], directly funding the collection, recycling and waste handling.

Something similar could be introduced for other product groups as well like clothes.

There's a reason why Kahneman famously gave up[1] on happiness research, because of our muddled thinking about it.

Instead, he argues (which I fully agree with) that we should focus on reducing misery. As a society it is far more difficult to agree on "maximizing well-being", but "minimizing suffering" is an objective we can all agree on as a measure of policy.

And he says, setting "reduction of misery" as an objective for policy would result in very different activities.

You don't go in asking for a specific med. You go in for ADHD symptoms and work with your doctor from there trying different medications and dosages to find one that fits you.
That's not really true, since microservices involve what boils down to RPC over a network. There are so many more failure modes involved when you have 2000 asynchronous processes talking to one.
Arguably, the human brain is both hardware and software - while neural networks are not representative of real neuron networks, but we can sort of use them as a basis - without sufficient connections/neurons, you simply mathematically can’t solve certain problems (as in the end, neural networks just subdivide an n-dimensional problem space).

So while brains can and do develop new connections, there is likely a non-linear effect of having “better” connections by default.
Yes. They must be getting better and better at it... \s

>Happiness is a marketing term.

You can apply marketing methodologies on basically anything and "flood market with it" to the point where it is depleted of any positive impact it might have when used properly.

If you look at people who are flagged as "happiest man in the world", people like Matthieu Ricard[1], you will be very far from the image of someone that reached "some kind of state of exuberant ecstasy day to day".

One is expected to score higher in an ideal standardized test if they prepare for it.
One should not be able to score higher in an ideal IQ test if they prepare for it, since IQ tests by definition evaluate an innate ability.

Of course, in the real world no IQ test is ideal.

When cloud computing started, our banking clients said ‘never’ to the cloud. Now it is fairly normal depending on the region. In some countries in Asia and the Middle East, it is not allowed yet.
Great to see some progress. But the fact that it is only announced in an earnings call - where you kind of have to answer such questions - makes me sceptical. There is probably a reason why there is no mention of R2 anywhere on the Cloudflare site or other channels targeted towards developers?
You have a long history of coming to the defense of what is now an international pariah that has lied about the purpose of a troop build up, 200,000 strong which has now senselessly displaced millions and murdered thousands more.

Proper investigations will be done and Russia will be brought to justice in front of a court of its peers. Defending this monstrous state with your "concerned" deflections while mothers and children lay raped and dead on the earth of Ukraine is not defensible. Please don't do this here.

Only AOW (state pension) is a requirement by law and for full-time salaried employees there is no way around that. Private pension (what is meant here) is not required by law though financially very lucrative compared to doing it yourself. It can be made required by making a CAO (collective bargaining agreement) "algemeen bindend" for all employees in a sector/company but this is not always the case in all sectors (e.g. IT). Note that this is way more complex and this is just a simplification.

It's interesting that the word "bespoke" is derogatory in SAP land.

Quantity of moving parts is a nearly worthless metric on its own without describing the scale and complexity of those moving parts.
The article mention about future trials in aerospace industry. So presumably the current is not a problem. But the number of recharging cycles can be the one. On the other hand if the new chemistry allows applications that were not possible before, quickly degrading but cheap batteries can be a useful option.

Edit: according to https://newatlas.com/energy/rare-form-sulfur-lithium-ion-bat... it is possible to address the degradation problem. So maybe this is not vaporware.

I have heard about Cython before but I have never actually used it. I have however used Numpy, Scipy and Numba. Are there any reasons to also consider Cython in combination with those other libraries? E.g. in which cases would Cython be considerably better than Numpy or Numba? My workload consists mostly of data science and statistics, running models and simulations.
I like this idea, however I think the event ID being encoded in the response body places constraints on what each element looks like. Perhaps it would make more sense to encode the last ID/feed position in a response header and have the client submit that in a subsequent request header? That would decouple the feed position from any one element or the response structure itself.
I think it's also worth remembering it was not just the Bay of Pigs, the CIA also had also been conducting "Operation Mongoose" where it performed terrorist attacks and dropped bombs on Cuba and various other activities. This stopped a little after the crisis, so it seems to have been effective in that respect.
It looks like the list is very old. Tutanota.de is on it, but we've switched to using tutanota.com years ago...
"There is no way to build something stable in these circumstances"

Yes, there is. Since he clearly stated that started as a job assigned to his team, he could've version it right there where it was officially staying. Then it would've be very easy to see changes done to it by somebody else, even if who was that somebody else was unknown to him.

"Then someone anonymous in some layer above you decides something else"

He also stated in the article that he had a lot of time in his hands and tried a refactoring. You don't have time to do a refactoring of a file with 11k lines of code in only 2 weeks, so he clearly had at least several months.

My conclusion still stands.
FSK was created in late December, 1993.

As it name implies, it started with counter-intelligence. And the fun thing is, it was not created by "the same people who ran Soviet KGB", but by the Ukrainian intelligence officer who previously converted KGB of Ukrainian SSR to SNBU (Ukraine's secret service).

The conversion of Ukraine KGB to SNBU and later to SBU was straightforward and happened on the spot, but the creation of FSK/FSB was happening much later, in multiple stages and they did seem to inherit only minor pieces of KGB.

Source: https://telegra.ph/SBU-protiv-FSB-08-12 - I did not verify these claims but they do seem interesting.
My bet is it's a manual update process once in a blue moon
The workers don't get that though, they get 2nd class.
Judging by the quality of some of the websites the chance that their webmasters / marketing teams will ever know the existence of a list like this is close to 0%.
Assuming you are a US citizen, you likely have no need to worry about FVEY [1] targeting you unless a judge has been convinced you are a very bad person and issues a warrant.

You do have to protect against cyber-criminals and potentially other nation state actors like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. These groups do not control infrastructure (like FVEY) and have a harder time targeting you. BTW, this is why FVEY are so determined to keep China out of 5G networks (they don't want to share).

To gain access to your things, these attackers typically rely on phishing emails and social engineering attacks. They try to convince your bank or cellular provider, etc. that they are you and then do bad things with, or to, your accounts.

The best protection against this is 2FA (Yubikeys and TOTP) and process isolation. Run a reasonably secure operating system (such as Qubes) to isolate your digital life. Be sure to do your online banking in a qube of its own separate from your email qube and your random web browsing qube. And avoid phone or email based 2FA when you can.

That's about it. If you do that, you'll probably be fine.

Right, because consoles provide a known target, and there is more to do a port than clicking on export button.

It is baseless.

The West isn't thrusting these weapons into the unwilling hands of Ukranians.

Ukrainians want these weapons to defend themselves against the expansionist Putin regime.

Ukranians (the regular people) have in the past 10 years overthrown a Kremlin puppet government, elected a pro-Nato, pro-EU government and have now joined their armed forces to literally fight the Russian army off its lands.

It is the regular people of the old Soviet block that want to join Nato.
The Promise and Pitfalls of Desalination
They seem to be operating very well with the 2000 services (the number doesn't seem to have changed much in the last few years which is interesting, despite them adding new features, etc).

The domain is obviously very complex as its not just a ledger, but risk, loans, overdrafts, savings, etc as well as premium offerings, interacting with different payments networks like FasterPayments and Mastercard. Then there are the budgeting features, payments between friends, support system (Which is probably quite complex in its self), card issuing, internal dashboards and metric services, etc, etc, etc. I can easily see how this gets to 2000 services and I didn't even begin to think about the business accounts, US accounts, etc.
Tech interviews remind me of employers saying to forget everything you’ve learned, kiddo. Heh, we do REAL work here!

If you want to work for us you better be able to complete this leetcode question! You’re not a real engineer if you can’t!

Then the real work is an awfully designed mostly front end disaster. Nobody knows how anything works. But they passed the interview somehow.

I don’t get the people who do leetcode for fun or who get hyped up about it as an interview process. I guess they made it in life by cramming for tests just to forget it all immediately after.

Wasting time memorizing tedious things that have no value is especially awful and draining for me. It’s not fair some people can just do that if they spend a small amount of effort and try. It’s a monumental impossible task for me when I’m otherwise exceptional with software engineering. I’d rather climb a mountain, to put it in perspective.

I’d rather actually learn the concepts used on tests and be able to adapt them into my learning, rather than have a history test where I fill in an endless amount of blanks with the exact day, month, and year is somehow relevant or useful for anything.

Does anyone actually process those types of questions as actual comprehensible dates instead of memorized strings that are better suited to memorize with a jingle?
I'm not sure what you're getting at. One would expect to find bodies of Russian soldiers wherever the invasion is happening, especially so near Kyiv.
I just ordered Kia EV6, friends were laughing: “we get new battery technology in couple years and you car will be soon outdated”. The truth is that the new battery technology comes every couple months. Never makes to mass production and silently disappears. I must wait for my car almost a year. Volkswagen group delivers car in almost 2 years when I order today. Even if the new batteries will come out, my Kia EV6 will be absolutely fine for my weekly 300 miles.

Check and check.

> cynicism, suspicion, resentment and distrust

Its london - if you are not suspicious and distrusting your phone will be removed from your possession as a you walk down the street. Resentment - from the council estates to mayfair.

Cynical, I would say I am 100%, however, as per your article Being cynical essentially means you are unable to trust the intensions of those around you. I trust their intentions, I dont trust what they say their intentions are.

The intention of the politician (or child) who gets caught lying is not to appologise and make amends, its to get out of trouble. The intention of the diner who says this is delicious before tasting a dish is to ingratiate themselves to the host or appear the "polite one" at the dinner party - otherwise they would find out how the food actually tasted before claiming it is the finest they have ever tasted.

As for the 5* uber rating - The bottom line is if you give your driver less than 5 stars, you have screwed him over. So, unless they fuck up, give 5 stars.

Take care not to slide so far to the other side where there is another trait - toxic positivity ... With toxic positivity, negative emotions are seen as inherently bad. Instead, positivity and happiness are compulsively pushed, and authentic human emotional experiences are denied, minimized, or invalidated.
