The wrong side is the one killing civilians.

Putin's side is even more tied to fascists (even and especially across EU !) than the Ukrainian side...

I have a much better understanding than your average West European because I was born in Russia, am fluent in Russian, and have family roughly split between Russia and Ukraine (and for what that's worth, had a grandfather that actually fought Nazis - I can't really believe it, but I'm now glad that he didn't live to 2014 and to see this insanity).

And now I'm going to have to cut this discussion short because I have to try to reach my Ukrainian relatives again, which I'm having a hard time to, because cellphones have trouble working from bomb shelters, and they're even being shelled during the day these days.
But isn't a review at least partly subjective, based on how much you like the product? Or at least, it seems to me that's how it should work.
Wow. It's incredibly degrading to ask an employee to do an exit interview immediately after they were laid off. A company which does that deserves naming and shaming.
I remember buying an audio splitter for £0.02 including shipping from China back in ~2009.
There are also stable and peaceful borders, and Putin could absolutely have chosen to have one with Europe. Instead he chose instability in order to expand by force to areas that Russia used to control.

The only reason for US military presence in Europe is the Russian threat. The US would gladly move forces to the Pacific and Europe would be happy to have a peaceful and democratic Russia on their border and to see the US go.

Putin chose empire-building by force. He could have chosen peace and economic prosperity instead. Just compare the development of Russia and the former Warsaw pact countries.

One project I have had in mind for many years is a direct two-way, user-to-user communication protocol or user convention that only uses HTTP request headers. One benefit would be easier-to-write clients and logging servers. There would be no need for the complexity of, and hence third party control over, a "web browser", nor the need to learn skills (HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc.) to develop and maintain a website. Users could communicate and transfer small data directly via sending and logging HTTP requests.

If one is a avid reader of HTTP server logs, one might conclude there is a susbtantial amount of text being transfered over the internet via HTTP headers. However, almost all of it is intended for use by persons other than users. To me, as a user, this seems like a waste.

Others have demonstrated how any bits can be transferred via a variety of methods, e.g., https://web.archive.org/web/20001207014600if_/http//decss.zo...
That included NNTP or e-mail headers, but did not mention HTTP headers.

Poetry via HTTP response headers. It's a start!

My etsy store is paltry compared to most but I joined the strike in solidarity.

I sell seeds that are collected from my own garden, but I often see other sellers reselling seeds from established farm/ag operations. Its also clear that some of these sellers are selling seeds as a loss leader.

There's no point of a small scale operation like mine even being on etsy when I have to compete against such stuff. I assume if they continue down this path a new marketplace will spring up for handcrafted/original products but it would be nice if we didn't have to go through that cycle.

Eh, as much as I would like to be able to say that the advice is too 'mercenary', it is not. It is by far the most rational piece I have read on the matter.

In my little corner of the world, a good chunk of the team quit over the past few weeks leaving a skeleton crew. I know for a fact that each and every one of those, who quit indicated very clearly why they quit ( money, benefits, limited chance of promotion ). To the best of my knowledge, nothing changed ( we didn't suddenly get a better working environment )..and, realistically, this is the best case scenario: nothing changes.

If anything,as employees we are not being mercenary enough. All the niceties employers enjoyed worked only one way..
OKRs drive me up the wall. Often they are simulation of management, not the real thing.

I worked at a startup that was challenged because it was (1) developing a product that required (say) three technological breakthroughs so it involved a large amount of "put one step in front to the other" and (2) working with big co's on a B2B basis (let's say a big aircraft manufacturer that isn't Boeing, a large wired ISP that isn't Comcast, ...) that required us to zig and zag on a weekly basis.

I'm not going to complain about (2) because we were not only fortunate to have prestigious clients but the people we worked with at those firms were easy to work with. Yet we were doing bursts of work on (1), not finishing them, and having the work spoil because we weren't fixed on a "north star" thus the level (2) work was harder to do.

The investors thought (rightfully so) that we weren't on track and they tried many different "spray cans of management" -- for me OKRs were the beginning of the end.

I was asked to list out about 20 OKRs and I'm like "yeah... there are those two big things I have to think about, that second one is a moving target..." I had my own "north star" about (1) (I was always facing resistance from coworkers when I said that I thought management's plan makes sense) but lacking such a vision most people gave themselves meaningless goals and drove themselves batty writing them down, reviewing them and possibly trying to make them happen.

This book

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goal_(novel)

is a lot more sensible in my mind because "there is only one goal". With one goal you can ask "how am I doing?" If you have 20+ goals the narcissist manager will always be able to cherry pick goals they did well on so that they look good and pick goals you did bad on so you look bad. It's like giving the fox the keys to the henhouse.

One reason might be that it's a style preferred by the creator.

Yes, it could be a purely textual conversation between two people but, for example, the textual expression of the second-to-last panel might simply be:

Alice: ...

Bob: ...

Certainly there is a point that a person does not have to see value in anything other than the words but I don't get why it should be so perplexing for a person to see value in the illustrations.

(I say perplexing because of the phrasing, "Why even bother ... ?".)

Actually node.js is using openssl under the hood... SSLPing implemented a partial SSL implementation to quickly test support for SSL versions and cyphers, but used node.js native libs too. Newer node.js versions weren't able to get an SSL certificate out of a SSL v3 only server, for instance. Which didn't allow to test for expiration, etc...

The author makes a big deal of lack of snapping. Frankly I've never seen the utility of it on OSs that do have it, infact I've always felt it more of a hinderance than a help (gets in the way, tries to snap when you don't want it to).

The author makes a big deal that you have to do Command+Tab to switch applications, and then Command+` to cycle between windows in that application. Well, frankly I think thats the better way, I'll give you an example:

Let's say (as you do) you have a dozen browser windows open (maybe in more than one browser) ... do you REALLY want to sit there hitting Command+Tab dozens of times ? No. Its quicker to switch to the desired app and then cycle within the app. That way you don't cycle through the browser when you don't need to.

Finally there are some, frankly bizarre, comments in the blog post, such as:

> However, that keyboard doesn’t have the Option (⌥) or Command (⌘) keys like on my Macbook.

Well, yeah, its not Apple's problem if you choose to use a PC keyboard with your Mac. Most people would either use the built-in Mac keyboard or buy an external one (third-party Mac keyboards are available from the usual suspects if you don't fancy an Apple one).

I gave up reading the blog post around that point ("The Undecided" header to be precise).
What happened to "company towns bad"?
I think even deriving the argument might invoke undefined behaviour here, but I'm not certain.

If I understand correctly, it's undefined behaviour to do this:

int *ptr = (int*)42;

As, in order to avoid undefined behaviour, ptr should only be assigned a valid address of an int, or the 'address' one past the end of an array of int, or NULL (logical zero).

It's possible things are different when the type is void*, I'm not certain.

Any argument that claims anything is "the way it is" because of the ways people act today is only talking about current incentive structures and has nothing whatsoever to do with the systems and tendencies that have created what we see today. Current incentive structures are a product of the system they are expressed from, not the other way around.
> re-run the analysis on the data and make sure the math checks out?

That isn't a replication in any meaningful sense. But a replication can certainly take many forms. An exact replication is one, another could be to do a conceptual replication, so studying the same effect but with a different design, or combining these with a new analysis pooling the data from both the study and the new study with (possibly) improved statistical analysis.
It's been happening for much longer than NAFTA has been around. My hometown was known for building tires earlier in the 20th century and all that left in the early 80s and it never recovered.

That said, before that happened the place was kind of a "company town" and the big manufacturers with all the money essentially ran the place. Only good news if you were in their favor. Lots of stories about being harassed by police if you were on their bad side. They were the kind of people that would have still been using child labor if it weren't outlawed.

> i will say they are right about one thing, small sellers are getting totally run over by design theft and aliexpress resellers. as a buyer, its a huge pain to have to sift through pages of aliexpress merchandise to uncover interesting and original work.

At the end of the day, any increase in sales means more revenue for Etsy. The company is following the same digital flea market model that Amazon does, and it has all of the same perverse incentives.

> Do flat earthers destabilize people's model or reality?

Yeah, I'd say yes they definitely do, and this may be a great example. I have definitely seen people express frustration and even anger when flat earther's views are expressed.

> I find this reaction interesting because I can't see how it will help. Like are we going to intimidate, harm or kill people who disagree?

We aren't perfectly rational beings though. By and large, I'd predict that most people operate on heuristics guided by more primitive feelings.

Also, yeah, killing someone or incapacitating them is a great way to stabilize your reality. Our primitive brains aren't taking into consideration human laws or customs.

> so maybe I'm missing what the goal originally was in an evolutionary context.

Evolution isn't optimizing for intelligence, nor does it really have a "goal" - it may be more accurate to say that what exists because of it is just what is more fit for survival and reproduction. Our unique intelligence seems to also be a very new thing in the broad scope of humanity.

>you use what they give you, how they give it to you, using their workflows, barely customizing anything. Apple products are supposed to be revered the world over as the pinnacle of design, used by artists, engineers, professionals, and creators. Why do I feel like there are training wheels on a machine I use for productivity?

Gosh, this is exactly how I felt in a similar situation. Really hit the nail on the head.

I've used Linux for a long time, and for a while I was kindly forced to use a Mac (got a Linux laptop last week). It was a painful experience that took a heavy toll on my productivity.

My impression is that Mac has so many idiossincrasies that fans just assume are "intuitive" while they're really not - they've just been used to it for a long time. Personally I hated, hated the usability. Can't stress it enough, it absolutely sucked. Never again!

Also the benefits compared to non-Macs are diminishing over time. You can get great hardware and battery life with system76 for instance.
Yup, but the facts of that particular case are tricky. Ford refused to issue a dividend to the Dodge brothers because

It is as if everyone left to Azure, but there are a few left still trying to make the UWP reboot happen.

Most of the community that really bought into it, moved back into plain Win33/.NET, fed up with the WinRT reboots since Windows 8.

Regardless of the possible mess in the Windows Shell, there is a bigger one in management.
