If anyone looks back at wars like WW1, Korea War, even the US escalation of the Vietnam War and wonders how the hell it got to that point - wonder no more.

The oneupmanship rarely works out well between major powers.
I disagree. I think there is room for both. I own two Volcas, and don't use them much unfortunately.

The problem with hardware is it's extremely difficult, or downright impossible, to save state.

On a physical modular synth, the only way to remember what you did is to write it down or (maybe) take pictures. On a virtual modular synth all you have to do is Save As.

I'm sure OP-1 can save its patches, but that doesn't address the problem of the whole chain, or backups.
Usually, solar"punk" has zero amounts of punk in it, so you won't find books similar to what other -punk have done. As they state:

> At its core, solarpunk is the ecological antidote to cyberpunk.

I really wish the people behind this aesthetic would move to a name better reflecting their aspirations. Solar-nouveau, solar utopia, whatever.
Yemen? Somalia?

Genocide is happening under NATO's watchful gaze, from its bases, with its resources.

Again: the moral authority you claim, simply does not exist.
>You can't game a 76% support for any cause in a few months in a liberal democracy.

I suggest reading on Manufacturing Consent.

People living in liberal democracies are swayed all the time. It has happened over and over again. Probably the most notable example being USA after 9/11. Bush approval rating spiked from 60% to 92%. When scary things happen, media coverage and politicians can together make drastic changes to public opinion.

There are wars and crises going on in the world all the time, and media's coverage of them or the lack thereof do change peoples minds on whether they matter or what should be done about them.
Soros was a disciple of philosopher Karl Popper, one of the 20th century's most influential philosophers of science. Popper was a big influence on empirical falsification. Popper wrote the book The Open Society and Its Enemies that has greatly influenced political ideals both in the left and the right wing in western democracies.

In 2009 Financial Times published an essay by George Soros, where he describes his general philosophical theory "reflexivity", that he applies to life and investing. Reflexivity is an extension of Poppers ideas and are very well grounded.

This essay explains very well the reasoning that eventually led to breaking the Bank of England as well.

I have never seen anyone statically linking Qt anywhere, even with a commercial license. The main issue is iOS, where it's basically impossible to ship anything (L)GPLv3 on the app store, but that's due to Apple's lock-in policies.

Also, JNI requires you to use DLLs/shared objects, so you definitely can use them on Android.
> Because Ukraine is on the doorstep of Europe, that's why Europeans care more, and by proxy the US.

But only since Russia started invading. When news about Ukraine were still all about their corrupt government, breaking human rights, their horrible prisons and more like that nobody thought Ukraine to to 'close' or anything.

It's obvious the whole perception of Ukraine just suddenly changed because Russia is the bad guy.
Debian does the same with DKMS.
The entire concept of a "stablecoin" reminds me a lot of something from SIGBOVIK 2014. Keep in mind, this was written in 2014, before any stablecoins actually existed, and that SIGBOVIK is supposed to be a joke conference where people present extremely silly ideas as if they were real breakthroughs.

> DollarCoin: We propose skipping the middleman and providing direct proof-of-dollar with a blockchain that consists of videos of burning US $1 notes. Each video will be unique as the hash of every block header is required to be written on the dollar bill to be burnt; the block header includes the previous block’s hash, which means that each block is forced to build on every previous block, forming a valid blockchain

http://sigbovik.org/2014/proceedings.pdf

The fact is, people have convinced themselves that this is somehow a good idea. And then half the time, the person behind it doesn't actually burn any money and just arbitrarily mints coins. It's absolute lunacy.
Which companies do you care about?
Turkeye is balancing things. They also closed it for NATO and did it after Russian ships arrived.
That's the problem -- you should be! ;-)
I'm not here to change your mind. I'm here to show other people that I and many others disagree with your opinion. Downvoting for disagreement is fine, as stated by pg himself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171
almost like people should test their code before using a new python version in production.
They have made a threat for just about everything now.
tl;dr this adds a clause to forbid reserve engineering and bypassing "technical limitations"

> You agree that you will not work around any technical limitations in the software provided to you as part of the Services, or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits.
Yes, BUSD & USDC have regular attestations that their holding of USD in bank accounts backed by the US government & US treasuries are real.

Tether on the other hand has invested mostly in commercial credit, who’s counterparty they decline to identify. Given that they constitute something like the 5th largest commercial credit fund in the world on that basis & the other funds deny seeing them in their markets, it seems that they’re lending to ... lets say unorthodox counter parties.

Some have suggested that they’ve been lending to Chinese builders, but it seems more likely to me that they’ve been lending Tether to cryptocurrency trading houses and marking it up on their books. This would create a self-feeding circular dynamic at one or two removes; if so the whole thing could unwind quite spectacularly.
> So those would have been the parties who paid $ to Tether.

But not necessarily in fiat USD. They could've paid in any instrument, as long as Tether accepted it. That side of the transaction is, by definition, not recorded on any chain. Or am I misunderstanding the situation?

I live in Eastern Europe, its why I have a balanced view of the situation.

There are as many states in this region who want to ally against NATO because of its war crimes and crimes against humanity - however I wager those states are not on your radar since you clearly live inside the media bubble created for you by the literal makers of bombs to be dropped by NATO forces in future wars.
Oh, then the speech I saw wasn't by the PM.
One trick up their sleeve could be get Bitfinex to print USD balances to buy the tether. Sellers of tether on the exchange go through “waiting period to withdraw their funds” (because the USD doesn’t exist!). That’ll keep the music going for an extra song.
Banks don’t claim otherwise for years while providing misleading non-audit “audits”, and they have the FDIC to fix things for anyone under $250k if they collapse.
> I don’t think I’ve ever needed compute-concurrency, not in Python anyway.

I have. Some very inexperienced “senior engineers” at my last gig thought it would be fine to build an analytics platform in Python because “Pandas will make it fast”. Unfortunately even modest datasets would cause timeouts and even seize the event loop, while a naive Go prototype would finish in a few hundred milliseconds.
Musk is up next.
Yes. Finland has a conscription army, up to ~800 000 people. It is unlikely mums are willing to send their sons to faraway places, or even practical.

Likely must of the activity Finland can do will be around Baltics. Like sharing air space control with Estonia.
There is a small part that talks about reverse engineering.
NATO is purely a defensive pact, nowhere in it's charter is there any provision for initiating hostilities and there is zero political support in the west for aggression against Russia or the acquisition of Russian territory. Until February the west was absolutely more than happy to funnel billions into Russia in return for oil and gas, and almost pathologically avoided any thought of taking any action that might affect trade with Russia.

There's one problem with that statement above when I said this:

>zero political support in the west for aggression against Russia or the acquisition of Russian territory

The problem is the west and Russia have very different ideas about what constitutes Russian territory. Putin has been crystal clear, in numerous speeches and written statements, that he considers several other countries 'Russian territory' including Belarus, Georgia, the 'stans' and Ukraine.

Ukraine joining the EU or NATO would forever take it out of the political and economic domination of Russia, and that's what he can't tolerate. In his mind that's a hostile takeover of territory that rightfully belongs to Russia and that's why he went to war. It's why in his opinion he had to go to war. He's not actually lying when he tells Russians that the west forced his hand and this is about the defence of Russia, because in his mind Ukraine is Russian territory in the same way that China considers Taiwan Chinese territory. When he says Russia, he doesn't mean the same thing that NATO leaders say when they use the same word.

So those who say they agree with Putin or agree that NATO forced his hand, are signing up to the same view of the status of Ukraine and therefore the Ukrainian people.
Putin actually did not mind joining NATO. [0]. It would make a lot of sense. Mind you, this is after Ugoslavia bombings by NATO.

Do you have any sources for your current claims? What you're saying in the first paragraph goes against what you linked earlier.
So much misinformation on here lol… you can literally use it now.
Full on Ponzi interest rates there.
>You didn't answer the previous posters question.

I, in fact, answered it.

YES, I believe NATO will commit further war crimes and continued crimes against humanity in its lust to demolish Russia. It has a long history of doing so already and shows no signs that it will stop its criminal behaviours in the near future.
Product development of such calibre is expensive, especially given the volatility of the supply chains today.
$2000 given what you get is a bargain.
Mind you, it's not a product being manufactured at scale like mobile phones.
The cost of development of the enclosure alone must have taken several mortgages ;-)
Not the same, no. Plans are tactical; vision is strategic, or maybe even above strategy. And in my experience, people really struggle to understand that some plans just aren’t compatible with the vision, and should be abandoned.
Luckily this particular war is quite simple to understand morally.

The invasion of Ukraine is an illegal genocidal war.

That puts all the blame on this particular conflict 100% on Moscow, and the treatment of the civilian populations underlines the lack of decency, morals and respect for human life in the Russian institutions.

The genocidal illegal nature of the war immediately bins Russian state to the level of regimes like North-Korea, Pol-Pots cambodia or Nazi-Germany. You simply to do not allow propaganda from such entities to broadcast freely when they are obviously state entities. Free speech from individuals is different.
No, pegs are nonsense. If you want something USD-denominated, buy USD. The cardinal sin committed was pegging in the first place, which always was doomed to failure because the scale of the effort would attract either a bank run or raid, guarantied.

Let's say you're a hedge fund looking for a one-way bet that will profit massively in a crypto crash (that stablecoins can't survive) and has no downside except carrying costs. Enter Tether, Terra, etc. Risk of loss at initial sale of 1, very low because tokens will not increase in value to 1.5 or 2. Profit potential? 100%. Everyone with a dash of creativity and a fund probably already is short these coins and has been for some time. "The Big Short" of 2022.
He is as close to it as politically possible.
Eh, that's not at all true. Being able to recall state is something that has been solved for a long time, but not all synths have that functionality, I'll give you that.

As two examples of synths I own that can do this:

- Moog Sirin supports Program Change MIDI messages, so I save the state of the current settings via MIDI on my Octatrack, and can recall that same state whenever I want without touching the hardware of the Sirin

- Novation Summit allows you to save patches with your own name + putting it in a category. Recalling the same patch is a matter of turning the knob until you arrive there.

Not sure how you arrived to the conclusion that saving state is "extremely difficult, or downright impossible".
Asking for Currier advice for BSC-IT graduate.
What I want to know.
1: What are the options immediately after the graduation.
2: What additional courses I can do after the graduation to get to earn better.

What I mean by "better".
I don't want to do masters which is 2 year program in my country(India), so by "better" I mean less time to do additional course and higher pay.
Fair, it was the first example of a verbose C idiom that came to mind, and it will spill onto multiple lines for complex cases easily (depending on your style rules) but it isn't a good example for this purpose.

I did also think about switch versus match, but in that case you're more or less obliged to do the extra lifting when translating to Rust and so I expect the breaks (which are extraneous in match) would be elided rather than translated.
It’s substantially better than nothing.
Regarding the theme of surveillance, I am surprised that the surveillance failure at Notre Dame isn't explicitly mentioned.

>This powerful fire has awakened our dystopian imagination and somewhat echoed the church’s current identify crisis

Notre Dame burned down because there was surveillance, but it was not correctly wired and the wrong location was checked [1]

>At 18:20 the fire alarm sounded and guards evacuated the cathedral; a guard was sent to investigate, but to the wrong location

These are the symptoms but the cause is deeper.

The WordPress codebase is a disaster, and the problem is self-compounding. The founders / core have found success writing disastrous code, and as such have no impetus to be aware of the benefits of higher quality - this is largely because (as you point out) the model of development shifts the burden to small individual website makers deploying (& maintaining / firefighting) WordPress.

Since it's open-source, a disastrous codebase could be "fixed" over time if experienced engineers were willing to join and contribute to the project over time, but the culture of QA-ignorance among existing core contributors has a tendency to exasperate experienced engineers.

I'm not saying it's a "toxic" culture per se - it's very open, and especially welcoming of new / inexperienced / beginner contributors, which is certainly cool for learning. But once contributors gain a little knowledge they go one of either two ways: knowledge-stagnation (enough to contribute but not to improve), or exasperation (enough to know how to improve but lacking motivation to make that uphill battle).

The culture from core extends to the plugins, not only because there's overlap in devs, but also because the APIs the plugin community have to use are garbage. This means many of the popular plugins - while they may have high-quality UX and design - have very poor code behind that.

All the above means that WordPress needs constant small fixes contributed by an army of devs to prevent it falling over / getting hacked, which massively increases the update frequency: there's nothing preventative within it's architecture, it's all reactive patches. It also means it'll only be a viable platform as long as its extremely popular: once popularity decreases a little, the maintenance burden will be far too high for the smaller community to sustain, and existing installs are going to be even more vulnerable than ever.
Japanese and South Korean cities may have "Cyberpunk" aesthetics, but other Cyberpunk elements (brain implants anyone?) haven't materialised yet, so talking of "Cyberpunk 2.0" is a bit premature in my opinion...
FWIW: every time you double tap a Nota link something is added to the browser history, at least in mobile Safari, which impacts back button usage by "trapping" you on the page.
There is a difference between his case, leaking state secrets, and jailing journos for a disagreement. I don't agree with how he's been handled but there is zero moral equivalence.
The fact is, billions and billions in profits have been made by every single NATO base built, and it has not stopped a single damn war. In fact, NATO bases have been used to commit one heinous atrocity after the other for the last 30 years.
It is not an std::tuple, but the moral equivalent. I haven't tested the compile time beyond trivial tests, but it not going to be great. The $ macro itself expands to a non-trivial amount of code.
Do large amount of Americans think that " We all know Russia will win."? Also, Finland builds its army? As in, NATO seems to be so eager on Finland joining cause they think they will gain something too.
My main points is that I do not believe that it's OK for the state to be paying for things that have not proven their efficacy. My whole relatives are MD Doctors (father, 5 sisters, wife and best friend) and they all agree that we are lacking funding for the health sector as a whole, so paying for people beliefs isn't a priority.

On top of that, it puts the state in a weird situation because it has to decide which beliefs are OK (acupuncture fixes fibromyalgy is an OK belief -> reimbursed) and which one aren't (getting a PS5 fixes depression is not and OK belief -> not reimbursed).

People are absolutely entitled to have their own beliefs, but if a treatment hasn't shown any efficacy, we should aim for a close to 0 spending of the public health sector on it.

I feel that creating a state controlled millilitre water bottling company would make some placebo available at virtually no cost, so could be a nice way of offering some effectiveness for free, but acupuncture isn't.
It's part of their aesthetic
Because Russia is currently doing conventional war inside Ukraine?
Author of the article here if you have any questions
No, I was just pointing out that its functionality doesn't really justify the price tag when you compare it with what's also available elsewhere. £2,000 would also buy you a Korg Minilogue XD, a Korg Opsix, a Korg Wavestate AND some form of groovebox or hardware sequencer to tie them all together, if you like small form factor gear.
Definitely not "solarpunk" in the strictest sense but Star Trek - The Next Generation does depict many ideals of solarpunk. Sometimes directly, but often indirectly too (like scenes at Starfleet Academy).

One of the reasons I really enjoy Star Trek TNG is that it has that optimistic of the future vs many of the other Sci-Fi shows that often focus on a more dystopian universe (even if they're not strictly "cyberpunk").

There haven't really been many other shows I can think of that have the same tone as TNG. Definitely The Orville; but that's to be expected as it's pretty much a love letter to Star Trek.
Soros was funding Open Society groups behind the iron curtain in the 80's, before the wall fell.
I wonder what does this exactly mean. Does this mean that you are not allowed to figure out how some feature exactly work or is it just to forbid you from trying to manipulate algorithms (and exploit them)?
The problem with TE is that they are building top quality toys, not tools.

Maybe those toys can be used as tools in some niche context, but as a non-musician I wouldn't know.

I'd love to see them selling a more general purpose pocket computer, with the same high quality design and even the hefty price tag.

A pocket computer made for hackers (the tinkering kind)
It will probably go down like this:

Tether inevitably drops to $0, evaporating in the order of $100B of funny money.
Crypto market collapses, trading is halted on the large platforms, big exchanges go bankrupt.

This shocks the regular markets to a significant degree.
Calls for strict regulation will follow, ending the state of crypto as we know it today.
Yes, those transactions would be off chain. If Tether accepted other assets then those would be what should show up on their balance sheets or attestations. I think they actually did collateralized lending against crypto assets. But still, they should be sitting on pretty large piles of something, and that's what's so weird, anyone who's looked seriously has found pretty much nothing except for a bit of cash in some island banks.
How could Britain realistically have helped Finland militarily in WW2?
Why do you need to save state?
If you don't, it helps you finish the project and move onto the next one.
And if you do it every day, then you could likely dial in any settings from your own memory quicker that it would have taken to menu dive and load from disk.
Mind that... it actually was a good idea. Until people started cheating with it, exactly as you say.

Tokenized dollars allow to benefit from the tech (smart contracts), which is itself great and opens a lot of possibilities.

What's not is: Ponzi schemes (Terra), crooks (Tether?).

Edit: There are valid stablecoins like USDC (they hold sufficient reserves) and even valid algorithmic stablecoins e.g. LUSD, backed by Ethers and with a legit protocol for ensuring over-collateralization that is also immutable.
Interestingly, it does look to be doing some clever things which makes me think it's intentional - resizing seems to make the formatting reflow (for example, an extra `>` mark appears for block quotes if it flows onto another line, links have been converted to HTML, and horizontal lines scale to the size of the browser window)
One example off the top of my head is socketserver in the standard library, which is used by http.server, xmlrpc, IDLE and all kinds of things.

The socketserver.BaseServer class sets self.__shutdown_request in one thread and expects it to be picked up by another. In the Java memory model this variable would have to be marked as volatile (or the methods involved as synchronized) to make sure that the other thread will actually see the change, so unless Python implicitly make every variable volatile (does it?) this wouldn't be guaranteed to work (although it would probably mostly still work most of the time except for when it mysteriously doesn't).
Sorry for the very newbie question. Can someone compare this with let's say an Electron + React approach ?
Russian nuclear capabilities now allow complete destruction of any attacking state, even _after_ taking nuclear hit. One just can't invade Russia without complete and utter loss.

This was not yet the case during Cuban missile crisis BTW.

As a dev i've always known my hunch when it comes to compromises. Never let the business team ruin your experience building cool rock-solid code. I'd rather resign than to compromise anymore. I know there should be a sweet spot between "perfect" and "working". Even a junior can pull-off a "working" app. But when it starts to scale, all those hasty bad decisions will bite your ass. Never skip planning, plan as long as you need. Nowadays i start coding only after i have 100% visibility into what i'm building: diagrams, dependency graph, schemas, types and data structures, documentation, user flows, everything. As the say goes: if i have 24h to chop a tree, i'd sharpen my axe 23h. And we haven't yet taken into account infrastructure, devops, ci/cd, security, releases, logging, and all sorts of tooling. I need around 2 months just for initial planning, setting everything up and laying out the codebase structure.
I don't think you understand what profit means.
