> Modern German culture frowns upon anything military. Zero-knowledge is common. That includes ambassadors and politicians.

Not just the Germans.

Remember all those comments in the West (from people with apparently no military experience) calling for NATO to declare a no-fly zone over Ukraine in early March?

Then Biden and Stoltenberg explained what a no-fly zone actually is[0]. (Spoiler: it's not just a press release.)

Probably because its easy and common to Unionise in Germany, they don’t have to go through hell and high water to form a collective (as silly as it sounds in the first place!)

This is why I like Elite Dangerous’ model better. They shipped a game and made iterative improvements. It has many flaws, but for most intents and purposes it’s a running space sim.
>They didn't do much colonization because they were too busy fighting wars with each other

No, nearly every one of the countries I listed had simply no intention or means to colonize effectively at a profit, has nothing to do with preoccupation with continental wars.

> Also something that should not be easily forgotten or ever forgiven is the missionary work by religious groups

Again, all of the countries I mentioned had very little if not null participation in this, and yet to varying degrees they are being punished for it...
Internal Rate of Return. I’m probably over simplifying, but it’s how investments report what their effective compound interest rate was based on the cashflow returns.

This post also talks about “Interim IRR” (I’ve also heard it called “paper IRR”), which a lot of funds report based on the current marked up valuation of the portfolio. It’s what the IRR would be if everything could be liquidated based on the current last/valuation. Which has never made any sense to me and seems like pure vanity if not actively disingenuous. You’re not liquid. You’ve not provided any cashflow returns. There is no IRR yet.

But I guess people need a way to justify their paper performance.

Thanks to you authoritarians deciding for us, we will never know for sure. Comparing countries with similar densities (like Sweden and Finland) and different COVID policies seems to point out to a resounding no.
Most likely we would have had a few more mostly elderly deaths, we won't have ruined the mental health of a generation and we won't have enriched big pharma even more.

Even with the pandemic going on it would have been better to suffer during the pandemic than cause a recession. The same people who were hit by lockdowns would be hit 10 times worse by a recession.
I don't feel that food trucks are often cheaper than B&M. In fact, my biggest reason for not going to them is that are often as expensive, but without the ability to sit down at table. And the food is frequently worse.

thank you for your considered response, I really appreciate it.

Your observations are of course correct, particularly one of the difference between social platforms in their tooling and accessibility to researchers on how they work.

I do not share your confidence that those 'with a background in technology' are in any better position to handle information / misinformation / disinformation than any other person. It is my observation that we 'succumb' to misinformation unevenly based not on the quality of the deception but whether the purpose of that misinformation aligns with our perceived self interest.

What I'm describing is not the "Nordic model". Most Nordic countries do not have the government legally supply heroin to users – only Denmark has an established programme to do so; Norway has it on a trial basis (with only a limited number of users involved); as far as I am aware, the rest of the Nordic countries are still discussing the proposal of doing it. And, even in Denmark, I think you will find the ease of access (you have to find a doctor who is willing and able to prescribe it) is significantly less than in my proposal. My proposal was that the government should try to (near-)completely take over the heroin market, to try to drive criminals out of it altogether – even what Denmark is doing is sufficiently less ambitious.

Since what I am proposing is not the Nordic model as it actually exists, but rather something which goes a lot further, I don't see how overdose death rates from the Nordic countries have any relevance to evaluating it.
While expensive, Nespresso is pretty tasty and I can totally understand why some shops use them.

Compared to a whole espresso setup, I’m not even sure they are expensive in the short to medium run.

Espresso pots are the only obviously cheap way to get espresso, but I often wonder if they aren’t really a different category.

Compared to drip coffee? Sure, but drip coffee isn’t espresso based coffee.
Frankly, you are just repeating Russian propaganda here. Pretty much nobody in the world cares about US seizing Russian USD because nobody important is planning a full scale invasion into a neighboring country. I bet you if the UN could vote on that, seizure would be approved almost unanimously.

If you are part of a team that can be productive, remotely, then you are very lucky.

I am not. We are in trouble as a tech business and have a very large piece of tech debt that we need to get over, this year. (We also have an amazing product and smart people invested in our growth. It’s one of those good problems to have, but it’s still a problem.)

We experimented (a long time ago, before I joined) with an “open source model” of siloed teams who made internal releases to each other. This had the unfortunate side effect of hampering our release process and also, far worse, embedding a really unproductive them-vs-us culture that holds back our ability to ship on time.

On a technical level, it’s kind of like the bad old days of when people all had their own branches, and all tried to merge at once in the week of the release. If you’re familiar with this anti-pattern then we are in a similar situation but with individual repositories instead of branches.

Our team has a lot of veterans, many with the title architect, and all of whom are emotionally invested in the status quo being the right approach. There’s a lot of friction between us. Frankly this might not be the right team for me in the long run, but there are so many awesome people here as well that I want to make it work.

We objectively have a problem shipping our product, and because most of the old guard work remotely it is nigh on impossible to effectively build consensus around making any kind of big change. It is very a hard ship sail.

The saving grace? My manager and I go in three days a week. So does our VP Eng and the manager and tech lead of a couple of other important teams. We have whiteboard diagrams, 1:1 walks in the park, and chats in the kitchen. When we meet with the old guard, we sit together in a meeting room while they are on individual calls. I feel like we are getting somewhere, slowly, but an unsettling amount of time has been spent on how to effectively do staff-level persuasive tech-leadership, in the face of a highly talented but highly conservative cadre of senior engineers who keep themselves at arm’s length over Zoom.

PicoCTF Primer
Hi there,
Ax Sharma here from Sonatype - I've written extensively about our malware/hijacked package findings almost every week now on the company blog. The automated malware detection bots flag anything that looks suspicious on npm/PyPI and "quarantine" the packages until a manual analysis from researchers is pending.

Nexus Firewall automatically blocks malware and malicious typosquats, hijacked packages and dependency confusion attacks with algorithms now being expanded to cover self-sabotages (In fact, I first broke news on dependency confusion along with researcher Alex Birsan on the company blog and BleepingComputer). As such, before the attacks even picked up steam, Sonatype already had a solution for it and been blocking these for months - but coordinated disclosure agreement for PoC research delayed our public disclosure.

Nexus IQ/Lifecycle is more for SBOM/vulnerabilities, including those without a CVE - e.g. reported via GitHub Issues and other sources. The vulnerability scanning looks for the exact occurrence of vulnerable code rather than just flagging any and all artifacts for a given component, which makes it quite precise imo.

For SCA, there's Sonatype Lift that connects to your GitHub repo for free so you can test drive it before moving on to other offerings.

Thanks, and I hope it helps.
If I have a currency that has an 'official' rate different from it's rate on most markets, how does the market you mentioned replenish it's euros when I buy them with roubles?
You left out the reason there is a minimum - there is a cost to run the card that is fee(purchase) = A * purchase + B. The minimum is to ensure that B doesn't dig too much into their profit margins (which is also a percent).

And while they may think it's worthwhile to sell you a fountain drink for $1 on the card, it's too complex to break it up like that.

I use both MuPDF and Okular, which is much better than using only one of them.

MuPDF is very noticeably faster than Okular, so I use MuPDF for most cases when I just want to read quickly a PDF file or search through it. Therefore MuPDF is the default application for opening a PDF file, because it opens the file instantaneously, saving me a lot of time when I browse through many PDF files.

Whenever I find a PDF file with which MuPDF has difficulties or I need a feature available only in Okular, I use Okular.
It's also the same reasoning used by a Thanksgiving Turkey.

The farmer has always come in and given the turkey food, so logically he will continue to do so. And it is true. Until it isn't. But the cost of that one day when it isn't is very high for the turkey.
about JavaScript, CSS, and HTML basics

...and this is where it goes off the rails; teaching JS before HTML is how we will continue to have the ridiculous proliferation of app-sites that shouldn't require a single line of JS instead needing the latest version of $browser (you have a choice of browser - pick one ...) to even show any content at all. Forms don't need any JS to work, yet the impression this gives to beginners is that they do.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25915313

But then again, this is Microsoft, which is now firmly in bed with Google in contributing to the Big Browser monopoly, so I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything else. The agenda is obvious to anyone who cares to look.
Conversation from 2010 between Kahneman and Klein. Noteworthy quotes:

> if you mean, “My gut feeling is telling me this; therefore I can act on it and I don’t have to worry,” we say you should never trust your gut.

> I would be wary of experts’ intuition, except when they deal with something that they have dealt with a lot in the past. Surgeons, for example, do many operations of a given kind, and they learn what problems they’re going to encounter. But when problems are unique, or fairly unique, then I would be less trusting of intuition than Gary is. One of the problems with expertise is that people have it in some domains and not in others. So experts don’t know exactly where the boundaries of their expertise are.

> No question—if there’s a bias, it’s in that direction [survivor bias around lucky risk takers]. Beyond that, lucky risk takers use hindsight to reinforce their feeling that their gut is very wise. Hindsight also reinforces others’ trust in that individual’s gut.

I'd like to comment on this:

> There are some conditions where you have to trust your intuition. When you are under time pressure for a decision, you need to follow intuition.

I disagree. The book "Presuation" talks about conjuring urgency to manipulate decision makers into following fast instincts over slow reasoning.
I hope this is true but I also feel like we no longer follow any kind of logic after 2008, we totally detached from reality.
I makes me wonder why the artist would do this. It seems it would pretty much preclude him from getting offers for commissions in the future?
Russia has to halt their tank production as they cant source the right components anymore.

They were already struggling with military nets production before the 2022 sanctions, just based on the post-Crimea ones; a number of buyers refused to take delivery as jets came without key equipment that Russia could no longer make. It only got worse for them now.

Biden raised taxes.

Decades of deficit spending demonstrate the feds can print adequate amounts of fiat currency, and issue debt, to continue to bail out the banksters, bail out foreign cruise line owners, and attempt to police the world and police outer space. USA could drop the federal personal income tax and continue on with the charade.

Maps All Through the Ages
Are you suggesting in 15 years, the $ devalued by more than 250%?
I had a look, #1 there doesn't seem to be a search option (maybe not public to all yet?).
#2 I had a look at some of the stores shown in the "search" icon tab, aka explore, but how am I meant to find out if something is just a dropshipping product from ali, marked up at 400% or a genuine, good quality product, worth spending $40 on.
(the one I saw, could well have gone fro $4 on ali)

That, and I hope this arrives on desktop, I dislike shopping on mobile, makes it hard to compare and verify a product isn't cramp from ali.

DoorDash steals money on missing items?
Door only gives back the amount for the items that are missing but not the taxes and other charges are added a percentage of that.

Further doordash contract should be deliver all items. For example: you ordered a coffee and they only deliver the water and forget the coffee (I know its a contrived example)
Companies typically hire these people to bolster their reputation and draw in new talent. It's the same reason companies keep hiring a guy like Guido van Rossum, even if they don't really care how productive he is.
> the western world did everything in its power to destroy Russia’s economy

It most certainly didn't. ICBMs, for instance, could grind the Russian economy to a halt in 15(?) minutes.

Also, there are still steps to cut off Russian oil and other products that haven't been done because it would cause a lot of suffering.

I think the proper characterization would be that western governments have foregone profits and some convenience to break Russia's economy.
Win11 feels much like Win10 but a bit smoother, and the advertising/info feeds are less in-your-face intrusive, with the Start menu and notifications alerts feeling kind of more like an understated Xbox. Still a bit noisy though, you realise you are being subtly marketed to.

I do like the new start bar position centred instead of left aligned.

However I probably won't use Win11 much since it's on a spare NUC and win11home disallows RDP from external devices and my daily driver machines are mac/linux

VNC or something similar might work though but I didn't try it yet.

I did manage to get HyperV working on Win11Home after a few registry hacks that some smart people kindly blogged about, to keep my old Windows VMs of legacy software available for occasional reference.
I don't think it's a translation issue, rather I get the impression that this has been written by educationalists for educationalists. So the pedagogical section is written using the basic technical language for that field, because the assumption is that the main target audience will be familiar with those terms.

It's a bit like how I might prepare a document for colleagues and a non-technical product owner, and I need to overall contents to be clear enough (and non-technical enough) for the PO to understand, but I also want to put technical details in for my colleagues who understand jargon like "load testing" or whatever else. I don't need to simplify the section on load testing and remove that sort of jargon, because in principle it's not necessary for the PO to precisely understand those details.

So I don't think it's a translation issue, but rather it's not designed to be directly a tutorial for getting started with programming, but rather a tool for teachers to teach lessons on getting started with programming.

I've literally heard it referred to as the "razor razor blade model" when referring to a low cost disposable where you make your money and a loss leader capital piece of equipment that is fancy and helps you sell more of the disposables. Much of the medical device industry has oriented itself to this kind of model.

Our project-based pedagogy allows you to learn while building, a proven way for new skills to 'stick'.

The annoying thing about this sentence is that "pedagogy" could be replaced with "approach" or "method" and no meaning would be lost.

Tax-cuts to the rich meant they had more money to invest in stock-market. And the tax-cuts to the corporations meant they made more profits which made them a more attractive target for stock-investors. Both effects meant the stock-market went higher and higher. And so here we are stock market doesn't seem to be going up because there are no new tax-cuts to the rich.

There is inflation which is bad for the poor people. But people have work and are getting paid. That increases demand which causes inflation. Would it be better if people did not have money to buy anything, which would cause prices to go down?

If supply-side could flex then inflation would not happen, but it can not because of pandemic which is still closing up China and Russia whose oil is out of the market for many would be buyers, and Ukraine whose wheat is not reaching world markets.

Trying to blame Biden and Fed for the inflation is Monday-morning-quarter-backing. For anybody who blames them I would like to say: Are you seriously asking us to believe that if you had been elected president of USA, or of Fed, things would be so much better now?
I think they naturally replace fear of getting fired with fear of not getting a bigger stock grant every year, and end up in the same place via hedonic treadmill.

I mean, it’s clear that with a single view, it’s possible to manage this without too much trouble. But next to no apps are single views. And any project that has multiple people working on it is going to have multiple views and features which all interact in interesting ways. It’s definitely not overstated. Try writing a moderately involved app yourself in plain JS! It does get to be a pain, I’ve done it! By the time you finish, you’ll have likely created some level of abstractions, and invented yourself a nice new JS framework for yourself ;)
