Russia’s Attack on Ukraine Is a Case Study in Bad Strategy
It should be WASM - I hope it will be WASM. JS leaves a lot to be desired and there are some things that will just be too hard to change.
You are mistaken. Say a lower court delivers a ruling. That is not precedent, but it is the Law of the Land until overturned. Say an appeals court upholds that ruling... then the ruling becomes precedent. If never challenged, it isn't precedent, merely the law. Roe was the law of the land but didn't establish precedence until upheld in Casey. If precedent occurred on the initial ruling, that ruling could never be challenged as courts are compelled to uphold precedent of previous rulings until such time as challenges reach a higher court and are overturned.
Well, yes, this is the fundamental problem and why so many of us are really screwed in the post-COVID era: because something better to do was really hard to find, and one of the survival mechanisms for parents was to just let screentime run rampant.
I can't tell if you're serious or not but either way, plz explain more.
It’s a bit of a lot read, so I can’t respond substantially right now. However, the write up doesn’t seem to apply in this situation. The article states it applies to a select group of counties only. Quote:

> why ‘we’ – and by ‘we’ here, I mean the top-tier of modern militaries…

I don’t think either of my examples were top tier militaries, which is presumably why they resorted to chemical weapons to both win and subjugate the civilian population.

Edit:

I read the article you posted now. I don’t think I and the article disagree. I think chemical weapons are of use against civilian holdouts / paramilitary. This is especially the examples I used. The goal of this last phase of the war is not to kill everyone, but to make them lose hope and surrender.

Fighting them upright is a bad deal. You can overwhelm civilians but every tank they destroy boosts morale to the point you have to just destroy the city and kill hundreds of thousands to get them to give in. Chemical weapons disrupt life, injure civilians, and give them no proper enemy to fight back against for morale boosts. That they are ineffective is a positive in this scenario as from your POV, this is just a “police action” against “rebels”. You don’t want more effective weapons, since you believe you already won, and doing more is just wasting the population and resources you came here to conquer anyways.

Absolutely right - put another way: the responsibility of the user is reduced from "be absolutely certain that you're entering your credentials to the web site that you think you're authenticating at" to "provide consent to authenticate".
Which do you choose?

The one who interviews better, and who sounds like they'd be a better fit for the team. If one of them has been learning the things the team uses then that will shine through on their technical interview and coding test. If they've been learning something that's not used then it won't make any difference and won't put them any further ahead than the candidate who spent their spare time doing other things.

Anecdotally, and this is just me rather than something that applies broadly in tech, but I don't want people on my team to work (or learn, or whatever) 16 hours a day. I want to work with people who are fun, interesting, and have interests outside of just working all the time. There's few things I find more tiresome on a Monday morning than when the PM asks "how was your weekend?" having someone on the team who never has anything to contribute. Those people are boring, and they make the rest of the team less willing to engage with one another.

Coding is a team sport. If you're doing your best work on your own at 2am learning something new then you will not do well in many companies.
This could really use some better explaination with examples. I am a dev for 15 years and I have no idea what it does after a minute of looking at it
I've unknowingly been that guy before. Ended up giving that employer the finger on my way out. Good riddance.

Jeez, I hope they don't expect us to put them in charge of the nodelist for Zone 1.
Following them like a holy-grail, no, not that useful. I usually use them to help juniors build a foundational skill about drawing graphs of architecture before implementing them, as the ground-work for discussing the proposed architecture. Also explaining to them that it doesn't have to be using the right fill/hollow arrow or whatever, more that the graphs themselves accurately describes the architecture.

So in short: kinda.
When you play G and B open and tune them to eliminate beating, you're in pretty bad shape because you're making a "just" (integer ratio) major 3rd which is quite far from an equal temperament major 3rd.

When you play B and E open and tune them to eliminate beating, you're in okay shape because you're making a "just" (integer ratio) perfect 4th which is not terribly far from an equal temperament perfect 4th.

See my earlier comment [0] with all the numbers if you want to quantity "pretty bad" vs "okay". In that comment, my initial references to footnotes 3 and 4 should actually be 2 and 3, but it's too late to correct it.

To be fair, "nimrod" sounds like a stupid word.
I like to think that nobody really knows what they are doing. Sure there's intentions to play and "win" at certain games. This is especially true when you start talking to top performers of respective games. While you might perceive someone "winning" at a particular game, they may have little clue as to what they are even doing in the first place, but their grit and luck in doing it has paid off in the long run.

While the author may be playing "catch up", this same perception may be true from other perspectives. That the author had "won" at the science game and all others may be playing catch up. What's even more interesting to me is talking to people you went to high school with and seeing their perspective of what "game" you won at.
Take it from someone who was assigned 300 shares of SHOP @ 1100/share, this hurts. It hurts bad.
If I’m taking a vacation, I’m going to stay in a slightly more upscale Embassy Suites mostly for the better breakfast and the free happy hour. I still get the two room suite. I’m also going to stay closer to the city center when our plans are to do something everyday and we would be using Uber to get around. The same applies to business trips.

But, in our case when we are planning to live there and I’m working and we will have a car, comfortable sleeping arrangements, a separate workspace, decent WiFi [1], and a kitchen are far more important. We can drive to the city on the weekend and in the evenings.

[1] my backup plan for bad WiFi is using my phone and my iPad as hotspots. T-mobile has unlimited hot spot with 50Gb high speed hot spot for each device.

> It's very hard to make a privacy case against FIDO.

With username and password, I have full control over my privacy in a very easy to understand fashion: If I randomly generate them I know I cannot be tracked (as long as I ensure my browser doesn't allow it by other means).

With those keys I have a opaque piece of hardware which transfers an opaque set of data to each website I use and I have NO idea what data that is because I do not manually type it in. I need to trust the hardware.

Sure, I could read the standard, but it very likely is complex enough that it is impossible to understand and trust for someone who has no crypto background.

And I also have no guarantee that the hardware obeys the standard. It might violate it in a way which makes tracking possible. Which is rather likely, because why else would big tech companies push this if it didn't benefit them in some way?

Sure! What I mean is that, since the web components are bare metal, they can be very specific to my game. I have SVG components that return graphics, change colors, move themselves around, etc. based on properties and state in the app. Because they aren't based on canned components, I don't have to worry about shoehorning what I want into a React component that's really made for something like text or a dropdown, etc.
The first part of my write up slightly explains it but the point is that HN is the top 1%. In my current company we have 10 developers, most of them without a technical degree. They know how to do what they've been doing for the past 10 years but (as with most small companies here in Italy) people don't know what best practices are used in the industry, what a pipeline is or what a dry-run is (I learned about it today myself!).

What happened is that no one knew how to react and I was probably the best suited for it, we don't really have seniority in office.

That said when I deleted the videos I immediately told my boss. He was kind of scared but his reaction was mostly "Well, now we have to re-upload them immediately, find a way. The people that uploaded them once won't be doing it twice". I was basically left on my own to find a solution (which I luckily did).

Please note that I'm in no way blaming my company or accusing it of something, this is the standard knowledge base and way of dealing with things in many places, contrary to what working in big tech or reading HN might make you believe!
Yes. I worked at a big fintech company and all people cared about was marketting what they were doing and never solving the actual problem. Everyone knew who the bad developers and bad leaders were. No one did anything about it. At the end, my friends and I left because we were fed up

Some call this "problematic" behavior of kids starting around age 10-12 puberty. I've not seen any peer-reviewed studies linking it to tablet use but of course it's possible that tablet use is a contributing factor in causing puberty in teenagers.

I gave money to a democratic candidate a few years ago and regret it now because, even though I have unsubscribed from every list, my email periodically gets sold.

Last month I started getting several emails a day from Beto O'Rourke, what was ironic was that these messages cited the bad response they were getting from their fundraising campaign.

My understanding is that you can cause more deliverability problems for e-mail marketers if you could cause messages to bounce instead of just filing complaints. If it wasn't going to cause more deliverability problems than I already have I'd love to switch to a custom email server that bounces crap like that.
I'm probably thinking about this backwards, but I'm embarrassingly well trained to search for anything I need on Amazon. if I want to support Shopify at Amazon's expense, is there a straightforward way of breaking out of this training and find what I need among Shopify-powered merchants? Without getting lost in SEO-spam or influencer peddling?

This is fascinating to me! Although I'm moderately good at playing "by ear," I would never learn a piece the way you describe it. But maybe I should try! On the other hand, I'm a very good sight reader. Interesting how two people can get to the same destination by two very different routes.
I don't mind scary stories for children, especially when told by people who know those kids and can easily judge the effect. But, the generations growing up on that and them taking deep moral lessons from it point is overstated.

They were collected or written and then popular collections of folklore in some part of last century. They are not exactly bible, many of those stories don't even have some kind of moral lesson in them.

From a sales standpoint alone no, but from a profitability standpoint definitely. A lot of time and money was poured into developing a game engine from the ground up that ultimately ended up not being very good and thankfully is being replaced by Unreal in FFXVI.

Crystal Tools was supposed to make development for several games easier & faster, but instead it took more effort to complete than expected & was still difficult to work with after it was complete.
The idea that "market forces" is a neutral thing we can only accept, like the weather, is a particular ideology that is widely, but not universally, accepted.

There are people behind these forces and people beneath their consequences. The balances here are the result of choices we've made and vitriol is a valid reaction to those results.

Personally I'm very comfortable directing that vitriol at the actual people who benefit from the exploitation of these market powers at the expense of others. But everyone isn't there yet so you have to give them a little room to be proxy mad at the "market forces" in the mean time.
The machines are just doing what they are told. Im no growth hacker, but if I were in this situation, I would be doing the math to see if the cost of slowing down and having a human in the process provides more money in the long run by increased customer satisfaction and return business rather than the current strategy which could be non filtered for all we know, judging by what we see.

There was a sweet spot, in my recent memory, with Amazon years back where I just got the things I ordered, and it took 2 days at most. This was right before the Amazon button things theyd send with your fabric softener where you'd just press the button and more Snuggle would appear.

The first thing, in my case, was being sent the same items twice, one time it was an entire mattress, which was great, but it was a sign. Next came counterfeit items from known reputable sellers, a side effect of product being binned together, as someone explained to me. Buying from the correct amazon store was a crapshoot, because the counterfeits were in the same bin, allegedly. Essentially someone buying the knockoff could have received the genuine item I paid for.

The final straw was in the same week: receiving a completely different order of items than what I ordered, dog food and womens products when I ordered a keyboard, the price of prime going up, and the fact that everything in the catalog was obvious eastern origin products, misspellings, run-on sentence item titles and other hallmarks that Im about to be alibaba'd when the gear arrives.

The headache just wasn't worth it anymore. I never ordered from amazon again. I absolutely have more cost in finding certain items in town, but I feel better knowing there is a person whos face has pointed in the direction of mine while an item was being exchanged for money, hand to hand. There is a trust in that which Amazon is hopeless to ever capture. I hope this catches on.

Bambi was a movie for war kids who lost a parent (or both) in the war.
Stories don't prepare kids for trauma, and I don't think there's any real evidence in support of that idea. I would wager a large sum that a child who has heard scary stories is not more likely to better handle, say, the loss of an immediate family member, than a child who has only heard happy stories about unicorns, rainbows, and friendly interactions.
I don't want to start a flamewar, but it wasn't an integration; it was a hostile takeover. Heroku was doing just fine without SFDC's interference, and when Salesforce not only refused to believe that employees might have negative opinions about integrating but actively prevented us from speaking up about it, people got rationally angry and left. I remember talking with an architect on the Heroku side about how he felt about all of it, and he told me that it wasn't presented to him as a choice, and senior leadership was convinced that Herokai would see this as a good thing despite his (and others') warnings.

Re: Hoodwinked the Winklevoss twins -

Does it not have the same outcome that greed or excitement is overriding morality?

That's a very pessimistic view that you expect most people to function from a lack of conscience. You're probably not wrong that it's more common in the business world as well where there's more to gain. I used to think that too, still to some degree but I understand that most people's selfishness is give themself a comfortable amount.

I think maybe you're confusing my saying he's sociopathic with that it's malicious or with intent, which I don't believe Mark to have conscious or willful intent for harm behind his actions; and he's not a psychopath.

I'm sure there are some people like you're describing ("I just wish there was a walkable place for me"), but many people regularly argue that almost everyone needs to move into cities because suburban/exurban/rural sprawl is taking over the world, we're running out of space/nature, it's the only way to save our planet from climate change, infrastructure outside of cities is financially unsustainable, etc.

For what it's worth, I'm bought into walkability/bikeability/etc. I'm just tired of the density, social problems, and distance from nature associated with most US cities. I think it would be really cool to get some like-minded people together and build a little village with walkability/bikeability/nature in mind.
I was a fat, stuttering early elementary kid, so I read a lot to avoid the cruel other kids. To the degree my 4th grade teacher would no longer allow me to do book reports for a grade using children's or teen books any longer. She pointed me at the literature classics and said only those were grade worthy at my reading skill.

The right there was on of the most instrumental decisions of my life.

By 5th grade I'd read the entire high school literature section. I joined an adult book readers club to better understand what I was reading. Even the adults in my club agreed an adult life is continual situational ignorance, misunderstood tragedy, betrayal by those close to you, and servitude to the powerful. I no longer believe adult life is quite so harsh, but that attitude prepared me far better than my peers. I've spent a good amount of time talking down people ready to quit everything. Thankfully, I can reference some fantastic hopeful passages, and they have not failed such situations yet.

> Kids are targeted. Sexual predators, gangs, fringe and mainstream ideologues looking to recruit followers, sports agents and talent scouts all have one thing in common: they want to exploit kids or sell them something.

This was the same for a long time. The main difference now is that they are also very targeted by ads on social media.
How is the system different after the first and after the second call?
The author mentions in his testimony, that the correlation between social media use and mental illness may be around r=0.10. This means in general terms that it it explains about 10% of of the impact. This leaves a lot of room for additional factors, and factors with much greater impact.

Thank you. Very helpful. Reading it now!
It makes sense to me (but maybe because I'm building something similar).

You write code and they host it for you and provide a GUI around your code. It's like a crazier (in a good way) version of Kibana or Grafana or Metabase. In Kibana/Grafana/Metabase they provide a hosting platform for queries -- any queries within your internal eng team. This provides a hosting platform for scripts.

Whether or not that is exactly what they are trying to do, it's what I'm trying to do. What I wish I'd had at many prior companies.

I can't find them now while trying to search but it also reminds me of some tools I've seen that generate a GUI from a description of a tool's command line flags.

High IQ is uncorrelated to creativity. Creativity is more correlated with the willingness to take risks, such as, for example:

* Looking stupid;

* accidentally setting things on fire;

* running a couple businesses into the ground;

* being among the first to launch off a mountain with your hang glider;

* making ugly art.
