I have been working on developing a one-stop solution to discover the trending stocks, analyze and trade them directly from one interface. Check it out at: www.encome.io

Encome collects data from News, Twitter, and Reddit to provide users with real-time trending stocks. Users can use powerful filters to sort through the data.

It is primarily focused on NSE(India's stock market) and we have plans to include NYSE/NASDAQ soon. Encome allows users to connect India's 14+ brokerage providers and manage their portfolio/trade directly from Encome.

Any feedback/suggestions are welcome. Thanks

“We seized your property under exigent circumstances, but you better honor your contracts rather than cancel them under exigent circumstances!”

- NATO, apparently delusional

The idea people will “honor” contracts while you’re (illegally) seizing their property in effort to enact an economic siege of their nation is mental illness — either delusions or megalomania. That strategy doesn’t make sense.

I’m personally sad to see how deluded US and EU leaders are.
Still haunted by interactions ten years ago with someone who claimed to have invented an impossibly efficient garbage collector supported by revolutionary data structures.

You would think this would be empirically verifiable but I nor others could make heads or tails of his argument.

When I saw the guy also had a theory of unified physics, I gave up.

Still don't know, he might have been onto something.

This is a dispute between Germany and Russia. I'm not sure what US assassinations of middle eastern war lords have to do with it.
I've wondered about that question. Germany is not at war with Russia, Gazprom is a publicly traded company, and there are international courts that arbitrate such matters and could yet find the German government at fault. My non-lawyerly gut feeling is that, for better or worse, the trend of the last 30 years has been that the international mechanisms for enforcing contracts and property rights are now the strongest force in the legal universe, stronger than sovereignty and in some cases even human rights.

The bigger issue is that you may own your blog content, but if your blog is publishing undesirable opinions, it'll be difficult to find a host even in democracies with freedom of press.

In other words, you may have a legal freedom to express your opinions but nobody is forced to give you the platform to do so. It can become arbitrarily difficult to actually disseminate your opinions at the extreme. E.g. I may vehemently disagree with Trump's opinions, but I have to admit that I feel deeply uncomfortable with private entities controlling whether he gets heard or not.

At the same time, I don't have a good solution if I'm fully honest. Private entities absolutely should have the freedom to determine what they want published on their platforms. Maybe we need (as a society) realize that the social media has become a de-facto utility that needs to be provided as such, regulated as such and taken away from the hands of private entities?
Funny, had the exact opposite experience. I could pyenv not get to work with my Linux VM and VSCode terminal (zsh).
AI-powered translation tools (Google Translate) can be terrible with this situation.

Naturally, I can't get Google Translate to do this now, but I see text like "Vi kjører 100 km. Det koster 30 kr" translated to "We drive 100 miles. It costs 30 SEK" -- km/miles is obviously wrong, and I think kr→SEK (even when it's either kr, kronor, crowns or NOK in English) is because there's more Swedish than Norwegian on the internet.

(I get unreasonably annoyed when people convert metric units into American when translating text into English. The English is used by a far wider audience than Americans, and outside the USA it's reasonable to expect Americans to understand metric units.)
From a purely geographical perspective, Ukraine is far more strategically important than the Baltics, due to its access to key rivers that flow into Belarus and Russia and due to its Black Sea coastline. I am sure if the U.S. tried to place missile systems in the Baltics it would trigger a Cuban missile-crisis like situation.
> That's why a "a clunky old thing like MMA" will never pass a trained musicians "Turing test".

Most good musicians will have distinct assessments of other musicians. "Good" here is a metric that involves a combination of time playing, time performing, time spent collaborating and possibly some innate abilities, should such a thing exist.

"I really enjoy playing with them, their sense of timing is so great"

"They are really good technically but their development ideas just don't go where I go"

etc. etc.

There's no reason to expect that any computationally based accompaniment system will do any better than the human ones: if it's actually good, it will have a "personality" that won't work for some people; if it doesn't have a "personality", it almost certainly isn't good.

There are many exceptionally talented musicians out there, measured by their technical abilities on their instruments. There are far, far fewer musicians that lots of other musicians want to play with.
Not sure what your experience is, but when I've used TikTok, only a very small percentage of the content I'm shown is recent. The vast majority is months old, which I think is part of the genius of TikTok; they don't discard good content just due to its age, and instead show it based on novelty to the individual user
Yep, but censors (on both sides) cheer for this, because it's not them... yet.. atleast not on 'that' platform.
Ultimately, it comes down to county level election commissions and partisan, adversarial observers from all sides, watching eagerly to see that no undue or unfair influence is asserted by the other participants.

>there is a literal feedback loop with the teacher writing comments/critiques

Sure - but words are ambiguous. Does the feedback mean I'm struggling, or is the feedback meant to elevate my already excellent work?

Here's any idea, why not give a grade AND feedback. This way I, as a student, know objectively how I did, and what I need to do to get better.
Why would you even want to copy Coca-Cola's "super secret syrup" when we already have in Europe several local Cola drinks that are better, and sometimes even healthier?

Fanta is now nothing special either, just a sugary fizzy drink with orange flavoring that can be done better by other local companies.

Coca Cola is just a branding and marketing juggernaut at this point, but their drinks themselves are easily replaceable by better local alternatives at any time.

Come to think of it, banning Coca-Cola could actually be a health benefit for the population lol.

I remember that in Mexico there are poor villages addicted to Coca-Cola where the company uses local water to make the drinks and the villagers have no access to clean tap water and have obesity and diabetes from all the coke they drink, and all is sponsored buy the Coca-Cola and their lobbying. Absolutely disgusting.
One thing that guy generally complements is interwar construction. Maybe a failing on his part for not recognizing it in KC, a probably a question of what portion of KC is from that time period and what portion is as pictured.

And rigging a physical draw probably requires physical methods that leave physical evidence that anyone could potentially see or discover after the fact.

I can see how the political slant on the news editorial can turn people off from the publication, however I have to say the arts coverage in the Spectator is always excellent.
There are dumb aspects about the German Greens ("Veggie Day") but they do a good job moving Germany into the right energy direction today. Your criticism is generally unwarranted and the data shows it.

I think we shouldn't use words like "dumb" at all because we are all trying to bring about the most sensible, safe and productive energy future for our nations. These nations have different circumstances and demands and some are more influenced by corrupt individuals than others.

With regard to the Greens, what exactly is dumb? It can't be the move away from nuclear because first of all, that was decided by Merkel's CDU long ago and second, it is economically the only sensible thing to do in 2022. It's what the MARKET dictates. Capitalism at work because no one will pay for the cost of building and running a nuclear plant while renewables are already working and massively cheaper to build, run and INSURE.

I'm not even talking about technology, safety or waste disposal at all. There is no reason to even go there because today NO energy provider in their right mind will build new nuclear plants today (and they won't matter anyway because building one takes 10+ years). The decision is a result of cost and not technological misunderstanding or ignorance.

Most days, Germany already produces and consumes >50% of renewable energy and it will only accelerate: https://app.electricitymap.org/zone/DE

On the other hand, France's electricity briefly cost more than >€2900/MWh yesterday (as opposed to €101/MWh in Germany) due to their reliance on few but old nuclear plants with high safety standards which go offline quite often. France's electricity shortly was the most expensive of all time in the world yesterday.

https://old.reddit.com/r/de/comments/tw656a/zwischen_8_und_9...

Anyone who actually supports new nuclear power plants today shamefully displays their utter ignorance of the modern energy market. It is COST that is prohibitive first and foremost. It will always be a LOSS operation. The market dictates the use of distributed renewable energy, which also prevents nearly all other issues associated with nuclear. Nice side effect.

In fact, Germany's real big issues are bureaucracy and NIMBYs but thanks to the current crisis those will hopefully be solved within the next years.
Sidekiq is open source, so couldn't you or someone else make another gem for the change? I know there are gems already that enable sidekiq to replicate some of the paid or enterprise features without paying for those plans.
Germany is the 4th largest economy in the world with pretty regular budget surpluses. I think that's what you might call penny wise pound foolish, is there a saying like that in German?

There are well-known arguments for not tolerating intolerant people.

Do those who advocate for tolerating intolerant people act in good faith, or are they simply part of them?

You can't see 80km from the ground, and it's on the other side of a closed international border and the war itself. Residents of Belgorod can have little to no idea what's happening in Kharkiv other than the news. Well, that and the gigantic explosion of the local oil depot.

Heck, in many places around the world people get most local news from social media apps.
This is TikTok, it is not a platform for freedom of speech or whatever. It is a platform to see cute dance videos and more generally a happy place to waste time.

For that I'd say that the Russian TikTok is more in like with what TikTok is for and that's the Ukrainian TikTok that is unusual. I guess that you can't avoid it when there is a war in your country, despite all the efforts TikTok makes to keep things carefree.
It depends what you're building.

I'm building my entire business on a base model MacBook Air M1 with 8GB of RAM - it handles running GitKraken, VS Code, Spotify, Chrome, iTerm, and several dev servers without perceptible lag.

My top of the line i7 16" MacBook Pro from work feels slow in comparison.
When you need to define the concept of artifice out of existence, and hope your audience fails to notice, in order to sustain your argument, what does that say about the argument?
Can you back that up with a source? It's the opposite of what basically everyone has been saying and I can't find anything that even hints that there isn't a fixed settlement currency in their contracts. Russia has been trying to push this issue for weeks, while Germany and others are refusing to pay in anything but euros.
There is a lae, ftom what I've read, that requires sqle fo certain companies running critical infrastructure to be communicated and approved. Gazprom didn't do so, the German subsidiary was put under government control (not legal ownership) because of that.

Honestly, I'm quite surprised how consistently and tough the new government plays the Ukraine crisis.
And "solving" that "problem" is not a good thing.
If it's illegal, the governments should take care to punish the reponsible ones via the court system.

If it's legal, the service provides should have no say.

This is like christan toll-bridge operator not allowing people to pass the bridge, if they drove in from the direction of a brothel.
The article is documenting reaction to the banning; which is to create a parallel set of products.

Personally, this is no different than people setting up a rival newspaper or magazine that caters to a different POV. Eventually, the dominant platforms on both sides will regress to the content/banning mean.
I decided that I must live my life on my terms
Yesterday, I was talking to my partner, and even though I had heard Alex Hormozi mention that "We're all going to die, it doesn't matter who we are", I had never had the "click" that I needed to have to feel it.

We're all going to die one day, and we don't know when that day will be.
I've spent my whole life trying to find my purpose, where I was simply disappointed most of the time, and I was always looking at other people and comparing myself.

But now, I can finally say that I am slowly feeling like I am finding it with more clarity.

For that reason, as scary as it might be, I decided that I needed to stop being scared of things that weren't going to help me achieve the goals that I have set for myself.

The one is to make sure that I always focus on doing something that I love.

The second one is to enjoy the process and the journey that comes with doing what I love.

Basically, I want to grow old doing what I love, not feeling that I am working.

More specially what that means is: building solutions that solve problems (help people) and improve how things are being done (innovate).

What's that one thing for you?
I don't use Cryptomator for backups, i use it for encrypting and accessing my data in the cloud.

For Cloud backups i use Arq (https://www.arqbackup.com/).

It supports A LOT of different cloud providers, and does proper versioned, deduplicated backups.

Another great looking (but not yet stable!) option would be Kopia (https://kopia.io/) which is open source, and does much of the same stuff as Arq, and even supports deduplication across multiple backup sources. Duplicacy (https://duplicacy.com/) does as well, but i've not used it much.
I am so pissed off on russians and putin for all this, I wouldn't care if they turned this off immediately. Europe will handle the shock, few rough months, at least heating season is finishing fast it won't affect civilians.

I know it would be probably very hard for businesses dependent on LNG but we need to move from russian gas fast, not have 10 year plan that will take 30 in reality.

Every euro/USD paid will be mostly siphoned to re-building dictator's army. As much as they fucked up and still are fucking up now in Ukraine, next russian invasion may be much better executed. Let's not pay with our money for it, since his ultimate ambitions cover as much Europe as he will be allowed to grab and subjugate.
There was a post here, I think last year, about how in parts of the world WeChat is the internet: friends, school communication, payments, everything.
Twitter has just as vile content as anything you can find in the other cesspool. It just happens to overwhelmingly lean the right way politically, so is not only still around but treated as some legitimate source of news.
Doesn’t the ITO (International Trade Organization) regulate international contacts with allowed and non allowed sanctions? I think Western states are currently tied to it, they can’t just impose “whatever” sanctions, and if we don’t, it would be legal for Russia to impose sanctions upon us.

Currently Russia has no right to sanction us, so anything they do is a further breach of ITO, which further deepens their case.

Diplomacy is important. The good guy has to respect the rules, or at least write them so we pretend that there are rules we adhere to.
I was mostly targeting USA with that comment.

But germans have also murdered a lot of people not abiding by the societies rules, especially east germans back in the day.
Because the hot paths in the code are not the majority of the code.
C# is (for me) much more productive to write than c++.
More powerful refactoring tooling due syntax that is much easier for tooling to process.
Powerful autocomplete, autorefactoring tooling.
Easy code navigation due to easy to process syntax.
The tooling also responds much faster, c++ refactoring tools seem to take a long time to process code.
Big reduction in footguns/UB etc.
Very quick iteration cycles, edit-and-continue in sub second, stop-edit-restart cycles in the low single second range.
Very good debugging, objects are inspectable and editable, stacktraces reliable.
Edit-and-continue makes for very quick probing of internal state.
The c++ code is around 1% of LOC and 20% of cpu cycles, seems like a good balance.
Bounds checking, lack of dangling pointers/use after free, removes a whole class of hard to debug bugs.
> "A lot do XYZ" is not a sign that anything has "some value".

It is a signal that maybe there's something you're missing. "I think everyone else is doing this thing wrong" is sometimes true, but often wrong, or at least incomplete (because goals might be different).

> I'm sorry, what are companies hiring for: To solve the problems they are trying to solve? Or to solve the puzzles in a standardized test? And who knows these problems and the skills involved in them better, a standardized test, or the people already working on them?

The problem is that being good at hiring and at evaluating people is itself a skill. A skill that some people have, and some people don't. It isn't necessarily correlated with how good a developer someone is.

The other problem is that if you come up with a different "test" every time, it will make it much harder to compare different interviewees. I still ask interview questions that have to do with a system I built 10 years ago. I of course could update the question to something I'm working on now, and I certainly change the emphasis on what exactly I'm asking. But sticking to a question that I know works well, and that I've used many times, makes it much easier for me to evaluate people.

But let's just be clear - what would you suggest as a hiring criteria? Do you think the team that is hiring (which in large corporations might also not be the team that gets the hire, but that's another story.) You think the team that is hiring should come up with specific questions based on their current work? How often? How often should they change them? Who should be doing it, every team member?

I'm trying to get a sense of where we actually disagree.
I think it's kind of hard to quantify complexity in a way that compares nicely across domains. For example, a lot of the complexity in a browser comes from needing to service ~billions of users across thousands of devices using loosely implemented standards. This is quite a different problem to building an aircraft carrier, where you're going to run in to hard engineering and physics problems but you only have to target ~10k well trained users.
Your plan is to sit in the dark while the radiation drifts across the imaginary line that is your border? Well, at least you're honest. Here I thought we were concerned about going green and the planet and such.

You know Mr Putin could have just stayed on the throne collecting hundreds of billions a year doing nothing. Nord Stream 2 was weeks away from being flipped on, this was boom times for Russia.
Ah,this explains a recent email I got where the company claimed a third party was trying to register mycompany.net (different tld) and gave me a short time window to register it myself for an additional fee.
NATO has nothing to do with buying or selling gas.
How much else do you know about it?

At every level, there are machine checks and human checks that must agree, or an audit is triggered.

In the event of disputes, audits are transparent, conducted by non-partisans, and observed by partisans (from both sides).

There are exit polls and other independent surveys that would further indicate a large deviation that merited further study.

There isn't one single layer that prevents fraud. There are many layers, meaning it would take an astonishingly coordinated criminal organization (like many hundreds of thousands of people who are all able to keep things a secret) to change the results in even one single state or large county.

It's much cheaper and easier to just try to win the election fairly.
And here I thought that stuff just _existed_ and we warned against its consumption because it was bad for you _incidentally_. Hadn't realized that was all deliberate. Yikes.
