Artillery has become very precise. The mechanics and effects are well defined and calculated. Artillery also isn't just big guns, it includes those trucks you see shooting huge volleys of (dumb) missiles off their bed.
I don't really understand what you're saying. Are you the saying the charts don't actually make it clear, or that they make it clear that self assessment is independent but not necessarily uniform?
I'm also happy to see this feature, just a month ago I was looking for it and was disappointed I can't hide my activity.

I was sick with COVID, but about one week in, I had an afternoon where I didn't feel completely sick, so I wanted to tinker with some code for an hour. I couldn't commit because I was paranoid that my boss/coworkers would freak out that I coded an hour while I was sick.

Same is true if your coworkers follow you, and you start starring or contributing to repos about interview questions, whiteboard questions, etc. There is a 98% chance nobody would notice or care, but I don't want unnecessary drama because I enjoy using GitHub in my free time.
No, "we have no choice because enemy soldiers exists" is an excuse when you want to level the city.
The propaganda is that Kyiv was merely a diversion and that the real war is about to start now. The reality is that Russia tried really hard to take Kyiv and several other cities and failed due to a combination of their own incompetence and absolutely inspired Ukrainian defense, so instead they resorted to just bombing cities into dust.

The many civilian casualties, and munitions quite obviously targeted at civilians, have been widely reported.
All the reasons why Russia will eventually lose this conflict one way or another.

Wish that they would have included some basic sampling functions here. I know there is Digitakt for that, but the did include some digitone-lite functionality.

I had my kids young. I’m an empty nester at 45, and I happen to be dipping my toe into the dating pool for the first time in a very long time. Looking through online dating profiles, I’m genuinely surprised how many folks want to have children into their late 40s.

Ignoring the medical risks, this throws the timing of everything off. A former coworker is paying off his kids’ student loans in retirement.

My grandmother was 47 when she had my mother. I saw my mother struggle to care for her aging mother while at the same time raising children.

Agreed! It is of course not always the employee's fault for not "liking" meetings. Pretty often meetings are not well prepared (by the one who called for the meeting in the first place), not well moderated (if any kind of moderation is there at all) and there is little consideration if everyone on the invitee is really relevant or not. And some people are just not good at explaining stuff and communicating intent, as you said. These are all facts and I can't deny them. I am very often guilty of all of these mistakes myself. As is most probably everyone who has ever organised a meeting.

It takes effort to mitigate all that and it takes even more effort to try to work around it if it happens a lot. If you are ready and willing to improve the system - welcome to management ;) If this feels like a whole lot of crap to you - better stay away from big companies, do some consulting, find startups with like minded people... Staying on a job, being unmotivated or stressed out is not good for anyone involved.

If 15-21yo skiddies can buy their way in and carry out acts like these via Discord and Telegram, imagine what the real state-sponsored threat actors are doing that we never even hear about.

These guys have got to just be clowns, media fodder, right? State actors aren't using Discord and storing their loot on AWS.
How did you get from type hints to black, not to mention poetry? Seems like you're just complaining about there being a mature ecosystem around Python, and the implicit expectation to use it.

Technically speaking, less than 10,000 daily active users, even though total user count was between 100,000 and 150,000. However, all those first month subscribers got a discounted plan of $2.99/mo. instead of $5.99/mo., for life.

The math is terrible. They probably didn't even make enough money to buy even half of a house in San Fran, despite $300 million spent in questionable ways (Chris Wallace gets a $9 million contract?? He's laughing his head off all the way to the bank.)

In the greater SF Bay Area, the various cities and counties mostly already existed before the sprawl occurred. Adjusting local government boundaries at this point would be difficult. There are green belts, mostly in the surrounding hills.

My gifting strategy is a category in my todo lists. It usually happens that I randomly think of, see, hear about, or am otherwise made aware of something, and I think, "That is something X would never buy themselves, but would really like." Then I write it down, and as some nondenominational gift-giving event approaches, I review the list and make a choice.

This method has worked as long as I've been giving gifts, and doesn't require an account or feeding details into someone else's database.
> Every Russian should be ashamed

Yes, those Russians in jail right now for protesting against putin should be ashamed /s

Edit: the statement is about “should be,” but the replies talk about whether they do/did feel ashamed. But *should* they? Those people who ended up in jail were acting heroically by jeopardizing their careers and freedom. I think those specific Russians deserve to feel good about themselves

This is a topic that completely changed how I think about my life. Many people think it's morbid, but I've found that contemplating my death frequently allows me to make much better decisions about how I'm spending my finite time.

This inspired me to make an android wallpaper that displays the percentage of my life that's already elapsed, so every time I look at my phone I'm reminded to think "is this really what I want to be doing right now?".

You might be forgetting that DK demonstrates a positive correlation between confidence and skill. They gave statistical evidence for people who believe they’re right actually being right more often on average. The question the paper is actually asking is why aren’t people’s self-estimates perfect, but it does not, contrary to popular misunderstanding, demonstrate that confident people are lower skilled. Reading bad legal advice on HN is not a demonstration of the so-called DK effect.
It's a soundbite to spurt the idea that pro-Ukrainian position or any conclusion that Ukrainians have successes on the battlefield is simply a "propaganda".

This is incredibly unethical and makes me disgusted. Uber engineers, please complain about this and ask for a review of the decisions that led to this policy, or you have no moral ground to stand on.

Or, if there’s an explanation for this that I don’t understand, please explain.
This is russian propaganda to justify mass graves, indiscriminate civilian killings and incinerating bodies to hide massacres.
You're absolutely right once you're there. I'm talking about actually getting there as someone who lives 100+ miles away. The UK needs better options for switching from the required car to some high speed option for the final 30 minutes of the journey. Even LA offers this with its Metro stops..
That type of behavior is grounds for an IRL meetup.
> Interesting article, do wonder how they handled forgeries

(edit: got grams and ounces mixed up)

Monetary denominations are a units of weight. So you weigh them. Mass and volume. It is hard to replicate silver and gold with cheaper metals.

Back when the USA was on a bimetal standard you didn't technically have to have the money minted to have a "dollar of gold" or a "dollar of silver". It was same during the Roman era, although obviously they didn't use monetary units based on the Spanish Doubloon (ie: pieces of eight, or eight reals)

So if you have 26.73 grams of silver you can say "I have a dollar in silver". It doesn't matter if it was stamped or not.

Of course, that is worth about $21 nowadays since we no longer use money in the absolute technical sense, but currency based on the credit of the Federal government and inflation is a bitch.

To this day if you weigh "silver coinage" in the USA it more or less weighs the same as it did before. Although obviously it is not exact anymore since our money is no longer silver based. That is if you take 10 dimes, 4 quarters, or two 50 cent pieces they all weigh about the same. Of course Nickels and Pennies don't work since they are not silver-based.

This is why you see in old cartoons miserly people biting coins. They are theoretically checking to make sure it wasn't plated lead.

People would shave coins to get little bits and pieces off the edges so it wouldn't affect the appearance. Which is why more modern coins are stamped with ridges and decorations near the edges.

And, of course, as the Roman Empire fell they would debase their own currency in order to cover debts. So they would reduce the size of the coins or try to mix different metals in with it. Effectively the government was counterfeiting their own coins.
Not to mention all the women and children they murder as well.
That is a barrage of useless fluff, and then I go back to find out that really the M. Mann himself who produced it.

New science on the block says: "Most importantly, it tells us that if humanity slashes emissions to zero, global temperatures will stop rising almost immediately." (...previously held belief of 30+ years is a thing of the past.) It is implied that this will put our "environment" into the state of ...?

This is heralded as a fact carved in stone now upon which we are to rejoice and shed induced psychological climate anxiety to double down on politics and activism to " .. pressure governments and corporations to favor climate protection over climate destruction". (As if this false dichotomy's latter option is moral driver of the governments and corporations). Just make f.f. super expensive and price unreachable is the pill we are prescribed.

Of cause, both of these claims are dubious assuming a metric which itself has little to do with climate stability, which is controlled solely by bio-sphere, or biota. It appears that there are parallel world in climate science: ecologists and climate-scientists. The latter hold a world-view-model that thermodynamics of the non-living matter stabilizes our climate, while ecologists have shown time and again that it is biology (and hence water cycle per-dominantly) that stabilizes climate.

Sure, one advantage of the mechanical dumpster-like-world-view of climate-science that is the main-stream today is easily lends itself to the political policy manipulation with a single all-affecting-knob, which itself has just the right convenience to energy related domestic and foreign policies. However, in reality this is the actual problem of this world-view. The models and theories of climate stability not-taking into account biotic life (and those do not exists nearly on sufficient mathematically rigorous level) are false, and potentially dangerous if taken seriously by the governments.

Science aside, what policies to enact then? Well, there are options but they are politically just impossible to implements because energy is a strategic resource and the very medium on which states/cultures exists. The only way, as history demonstrate to us, is to innovate ourselves under the profit motivation to a new future under the guarantee of freedom from government/bureaucratic choke-hold (which includes all subsidies, ideally).

So no, it's not viable at all.
We know that people love to reuse passwords. We also know that enterprise software is often deployed in a rather complex, complicated, multi-layer fashion, which is to say that misconfiguring it to not use HTTPS isn't all too far fetched. Leaking a session ID is always strictly better than leaking a plaintext password and username combo.
That's not actually how those were fought at all.
I’ve had both AT&T and Comcast 1gbps and never had any noticeable data transfer issues. A lot of things like Usenet downloads were close to saturating the wire speed, close to 100MB per second. Comcast’s upload speed is abysmal (coaxial), AT&T was symmetrical (FTTH).

How could I test this?

There's a reason why the classic "midlife crisis" comes between 40-50. A lot of people reach this point halfway through their lives, often at the peak of their careers, and think "my time is limited… is this all there is?"

As someone in this age range, I don't find it depressing, I find it clarifying. There are so many things I could say "yes" to, so many branches in my career I could chase. Reminding myself that my time is limited helps me to say "no" and maintain focus on the things that truly matter.

There's the kicker. We're going to be seeing how much people actually value remote work. Will you take the $300k "in-office culture" Amazon job, or the $200k fully-remote job.

I'm firmly in the remote work camp, you couldn't pay me enough to commute. It would not only ruin my day, but I would be part of the traffic congestion problem (for people who are causally required to be at their worksite).
Modern artillery pieces are incredibly accurate. And if self-propelled and equiped with an auto-loader capable of rapid fire.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerhaubitze_2000

Up to 3 roubds in 9 seconds, 10 - 13 roubds per minute continously. Depeding on the shells accuracy can be around 1 m per 48 km. Arguably, that's among the most advanced, and expensive systems. The accuracy comes from the shells, so in theory a lot of manually loaded artillery pieces should be able to achieve the accuracy.
I once read a similar article about a guy who visited his parents once a year. He then calculated he realistically has 10 more visits with them based on their age and decided to visit more often. That hit home for me, and I've made an effort to visit more and be more patient. These articles can be a gentle prompt. The last line of this particular article made an impact too.

Notoriety means “the state of being famous”, which is the meaning that I intended. I actually don’t want to use “notable” in this case, because that would imply that I believe the DK effect is real. Notorious might even be a good word here, since the paper has problems with its claims and its interpretation of it’s own data.
I mostly am fully remote now. My team is meeting in-person one to two times per month. Honestly I see that dwindling to one or two times per quarter throughout the remainder of this year.

The biggest change for me is pre-pandemic I would never have considered fully remote work. Now I would.

It's not surprising, it's an economic consequence. At 25 I couldn't even afford to properly care for myself, much less a kid. At 30 it would have been difficult with lots of corner cutting. At 35 its viable-ish, but now I'm getting up there...

Has anyone else noticed that visa is aggressively killing of maestro and other bank cards in favor of visa debit? These visa depit cards have much higher fees[1] for vendors and banks seem to also get some sort of a kickback.

The older generation is going to learn the easy way or the hard way that "privatize the profits, socialize the costs" is no longer accepted as the norm.

This situation would be different if almost every company, public and private, wasn't shouting from the rooftops about record profits year after year while employees look in their pocketbooks at proverbial lint.

It isn't just working remotely, it will also be fair distribution of profits through either direct profit-sharing or larger salaries because I have a feeling a few hyper profitable companies will break the seal on full employee ownership or other absurdly good comp for more than just engineers. Others will have to match to keep up like you are seeing now with just remote work.
You don't have to look at festering wounds either. They're here and they're actively damaging, but I'm sure that if you close your eyes it's nothing bad.
