Also, if you're say, British Prime Minister, or German Chancellor leading the EU is clearly a demotion and nobody would seriously retire from leading their country to head the EU instead - whereas if you were say, Governor of Texas, the job of US President is an enormous promotion that you probably can't get.
What a mean and unnecessary thing to say :-(
It's like after heroku everyone just decided to make things as complex as they can get and now we are stuck with overpaid devops departments that should not be necessary and AWS bills that leave us in tears.
Language processing programs assign many kinds of information to a single word
Thankfully the (US) courts have ruled that copyright can only be held by a person and don't apply to algorithmically generated works.
As a Finnish citizen, reservist this has been a very emotional spring. Both of my grandfathers were in the war with Russia. Both of my grandmothers had to leave and burn their homes in the areas annexed by Russia. Twice. I am 100% for Nato.
Yes, if they can make good on their promise (which I'm very doubtful about). Large holders of Tether have only downside risk now and speculators don't have much to win, so the market should mostly exert heavy downward pressure on Tether. I guess it comes down to whether the large exchanges will be willing to bail them out, which they might just do as Tether is too big to fail and no one wants the crypto party to end yet.
1) NATO has no territorial desires on Russia. Eastern members do have bad historic experiences with Russia so they joined a defensive alliance

2) Cuba was "allowed" to stay in the Eastern block (but not to host nuclear weapons). Ukraine was not "allowed" to join NATO, by comparison

3) Russia has nuclear/nuclear capable weapons inside NATO (Kaliningrad), not the other way around. EDIT: Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave surrounded by NATO members + bordered by the Baltic
Because Ukraine was not in the explicit membership pipeline.
There should be a law that currencies are used for legitimate payments for more than X% and otherwise the currencies should be marked as gambling money. How to measure? I don't know, but I'm sure the IRS can come up with something.
> My take is that they should just have stayed out of the Russia US power game completely.

I think so too. The West would tolerate invasion by Russia of Finland even less than it is doing for Ukraine, with or without NATO membership (notably, Ukraine is not part of NATO either). All this seems to be doing is escalating the situation with a man who is perhaps more interested in holding onto power and his own life than killing a few hundred thousand in a conflict. I really think we've dropped the ball diplomatically on this one. There are surely better ways of ridding Russia of Putin than this, if that's the end game for the West.
Right, exactly. It's blatantly obvious that Ukraine is spinning the propaganda machine (and more effectively than Russia when it comes to the international audience, from what I can see), and the US doesn't seem to have any qualms with helping out. Being aware of that that doesn't change the underlying situation though. You can both know that the US is participating in propaganda efforts and also be against Russia's invasion.
Especially since it’s the primary form of liquidity.
I've read that the value of avx512 as separate instructions isn't high, and this kind of confirms it - a 20% speedup[1] over the next best (ns/value) isn't spectacular and seems to bring a large cost in terms of complexity like dropping the clock (and are there really 512-wide paths on the chip?) and just a bunch of new instructions. Perhaps deep pipelining would have been better based on existing instrructions.

Can anyone with actual hardware experience comment?

[1] Have I got that wrong? Is it 25%

Why would it cause NATO more expenses? Finland takes care of patrolling the border, just like before. There's no intention to get foreign troops to guard our borders (or even foreign troops at all in Finland beyond exercises).
I am arguing that the risk of 'sparks' outweights the benefits of joining NATO right now.
I honestly can't tell if this a joke or not.
I wish this were true, but in my (admittedly limited) research I'm not sure it is.

For one, you mention Electron. That targets all desktop platforms, but not mobile. Mobile development from webapps is absolutely possible, but you need to use something else for that. Meanwhile, on the flutter side of things, if you want to target desktop platforms, you use flutter. If you want to target mobile platforms, you use flutter. There isn't a need to learn a whole new framework to target a new platform.

Aside from that, local file storage and offline use can also be a bit finnicky with Electron. Absolutely possible, but its another thing you have to figure out that Flutter just does by default.

If I'm wrong on any of this, please do let me know, I know web dev far better than I know Flutter so it'd make my life a lot easier, but the above reasons are why flutter hasn't budged from my todo list
Actually it is not a contract, because it is not contractually binding. It is more a promise to help. And Churchill promised to help Finland in WW2 and did not keep his promise.
They don't outside of the US.

A good portion of my eyeglasses (custom prescription, with astigmatism correction) have been <$10 drop shipped to the US from Hong Kong, frames and lenses included.
The most expensive variations (Transition sunglasses, complicated plastics to be thinner, memory metal frames) were $70, frames and lenses included. Most pairs end up in the $20-$40 range shipped.

All this $150-$600 nonsense in the US just pays for the retail space, the branding, the insurance bureaucracy, and rent-seeking by the Luxxotica cartel.

The downside is that I don't get to try them on beforehand... but nothing so far has been totally unwearable, and buying six pairs for $200, as I did once, addresses that concern pretty well.
Looks confusing imo. Exact dimensions are mentioned here though https://docs.paperd.ink/docs/hardware/hardware/#dimensions
So even if NATO completely surrounded Russia, do you think any of said war crimes would actually be committed against Russia directly because if so I want whatever you're smoking. They have 6000 nukes and US + EU combined have 25 times the GDP of Russia. We have everything to lose and practically nothing to gain from attacking Russias worthless economy.

It might have vulnerabilities that a motivated attacker could discover by reading the source code. It might contain copied code that Microsoft doesn't have the right to distribute.

Not saying these are good reasons, but in a company whose main products are closed-source software, I'd expect some PM to make these objections.

thank you.

i am not sympathizing with anyone for that matter. i am pointing out what i observe....

you know when america invaded iraq for "WMDs" and they turned out to be nothing and literally nothing happened?
"strong anger" does not equate to waging a war against america like its being done against russia.

let me ask you, you and me are neither americans nor russians. did the world care when america invaded afghanistan, iraq, libya, syria and razed those nations to the ground? but god forbid russia does the same to ukraine. then its a matter of world peace. last i knew in afghanistan there were many countries whose soldiers fought along americans so all those countries were equally complicit in the crime against citizens of those nations.

why?
This will be a defining moment for stablecoins, and will test whether Tether is truly backed by liquid assets to the $80bn equivalent.

The UST collapse will accellerate regulations, with Ms Yellen already commenting on stablecoins.
More regulations will force USDT to show its hand with its assets, likely proving that it's technically insolvent.

That will collapse it.

What about USDC? As long as they act ethically, they need 1 'physical' dollar to mint 1 USDC. If USDT is backed by mostly air, then the USDT > USDC migration can't happen without actual reserves changing hands.

This likely means a crypto collapse, as more people will learn that value < money.
> Baltic sea will soon be pretty much closed for them

Why would the Baltic Sea be closed to Russia? How would this be enforced?
So how many billions did you make?
Given that almost all of BTC’s daily exchange trade liquidity is based on having USDT and especially for margin… you best believe it’ll implode. Not to mention every other cryptocoin.
I loved the original MoM, and then years ago played the heavily modded and customized "Caster of Magic" version, created by a Japanese programmer.

I am not too excited about the remake. It will be more polished, but the AI will be terrible and the game will be less fun than the original.

It's a pity that with a large budget and 20+ years of tech evolution, game studios still have a hard time matching the fun of the original game.
Finland knows all about Russian/Soviet aggression and have had to build and maintain a strong military force for that reason.

Plus, speaking as a fellow Nordic... The Finns are our brothers and sisters. Of course they are welcome.
Flossing is hard to get started, but when you learn how to do it, your fingers become quick and experience, you can floss completely in 2 minutes, while thinking about something else.

Rinse with some water in your mouth before flossing to get any chunks out, then rinse again after flossing to get the chunks out that were dislodged during flossing.

Don't bother with water flosser etc, you won't need it if you do as i suggested you can remove 100% of particle matter without another gadget, charger and expense etc

Also just floss using the normal string dont bother with picks, floss holders etc, its so much easier to use string when you get experienced with it. Do it! It's worth it!

That experience is pretty much exactly what Cloud Foundry offers. There are companies offering CF as a service, so very like Heroku, although they're a bit hard to find, because they all rebrand it and roll it into some larger awful cloud offering of their own.

Possibly the most clearly and simply CF-based is from Swisscom:

Even there, i see no links to getting started docs, or pricing.
People are switching, as can easily be seen on the exchange rate graph.

But if the crash keeps getting bigger, will they get away?

I think the "gerrymandering-ness metric" you are looking for is called the "Efficiency gap". The problem, of course, is getting everyone to agree what the acceptable range is for this value, and to make it the law.

I wouldn't use this as an indication of flow's usage, the extension switched to using an LSP so the majority of the work for dev experience happens inside the flow codebase nowadays.
oh yeah 180% interest per year definitely isn't a scam
> Tether must have been paid tens of billions in fiat dollars

Do they? That's an honest question. They only provide attestations and no audits. And those only showed a lot of Commercial paper. If they sell an exchange $1B for Commercial paper related to that exchange. It costs the exchange a lot less than buying $1B in fiat dollars.
No way would they oppose Finland and Sweden joining.
I believe they're saying that cryptocurrencies aren't inherently better than most assets - but NFTs are such inane garbage that you could argue cryptocurrencies are 'better'. Very much damning with faint praise.
Bayer/Monsanto certainly have set the standard for corrupt control over the worlds food resources, though, and they're definitely playing evil games in Ukraine, for example ..
This is interesting -- I generally think of memory bugs being harder to exploit because of memory protections (stack canaries, ASLR, etc) and code execution being the goal. A quick read of this article it seems from the nature of crypto it was enough for reward to just crash the network (denial of service).
Sorry for nitpicking, but why MicroUSB instead of USB-C in new projects?
i have a problem with one news headline breaking news about "russia massacre in ukraine" where ukraine is the oppressed/underdog and that same news channel half an hour later celebrates how ukranian fighters destroyed X russian tanks and all.

if ukraine is fighting tooth and nail against russia(with or without help) they are equals so non-participants should abstain from taking sides. otherwise they are essentially joining the fight

Hungary has already stated they will not oppose Finland/Sweden NATO membership, so it is not really relevant.
Not the parent, but that's true. Was in the news all over in the last weeks here.
If your gums are delicate/already having issues then picks and damage them further.

With just the string dental floss, when you get good with it, you can get all sorts of angles, clear out all chunks in combination with water in the mouth hard suction rinsing, and scrape along the sides of teeth to clean them better.
Adding to this, this also means that it is highly likely that Sweden will apply to join NATO as well, although I would say public opinion is more split in Sweden compared to Finland. However, the political view was always that if one of Finland/Sweden joins NATO it would put the other into an awkward, undesirable position as the only non-NATO Scandinavian country.
Ukraine was not about to join NATO.
7 Years ago I blogged about if the Platform as Service business model is dead [0]. The PaaS hosting market share by Gartner was never met. Many startups in the space died.

We (fortrabbit) are offering "PHP as a Service" for more than 10 years now. It works for us as a small business. I am happy to see new services serving the same itch getting created today.

This made me genuinely laugh out loud! But not just because it's funny, but it's also the essence of all digital coinage.
I had never heard of RT until now, apparently it's a Putin-controlled TV network. We're supposed to be "nice" with Russia? What a joke.

Edit: for the record I don't like the government blocking anything, but trying to point out the "hypocrisy" of the West like this isn't really very convincing to me. Looking after your own interests is not hypocrisy. Trolls need better ammo than this for the HN audience I think. You have to convince us that invading other countries and torturing PWOs is okay.
When the price drops, people on reddit start saying "buy the dip it's going to the moon!" to lure in some new marks.

In the long run you're right though. Eventually you run out of people who believe them and you get the events of the last few days.
A law where?

To the extent that Tether is anywhere, it's in notorious financial law evasion island Grand Cayman.

It's already illegal to supply overseas gambling services to Americans (Pokerstars). Quite a lot of the crypto world would arguably be ruled illegal under existing law if it was prosecuted before an American court - or a British one, or many other jurisdictions. It's just that there's so much of it, it moves so fast, and has enough legitimate-looking political cover that it's escaped so far.

Here's former UK minister Matt Hancock, for example: https://www.cityam.com/my-mission-is-to-make-the-uk-love-cry...
Knowing nothing about Dart, I'd guess learning the language itself is not much of a task, but learning the libraries, build tools, and the whole ecosystem would take a while.

And indeed, digital fiat is used in production all the time and very useful.
would you care to explain why is this ?

even as OSS software maker, would you start working on features because they are "cool" or a bunch of people yelling^H^Hasking for it on twitter?
Coming from a non-Anglosphere country with a long tradition of proportional voting, this idea of "my" representative has simply never made any sense to me. How can a member of a legislative body represent voters that didn't actually vote for him? What does it effectively mean to have "your" representative that you share with half a million other people and who doesn't share your values?
Is there any difference in using char vs unsigned char then? I understand these two types are different as far as the compiler's concerned. Would they behave differently too?

> AlloyDB is nothing but their own forked version of Postgres with some improvements. Neither it's open source nor up-streamed to validate their claims.

They're claiming a 4x speed up over stock postgres for transactional workloads. Given that postgres is a very mature and performant DB already I think that's pretty friggin incredible! Im not sure which parts of it you'd expect them to open source, given that it's basically a carefully designed + built storage layer which I imagine is pretty closely tied to GCPs internals. If you wanted to validate their claims you could always start up an instance and run your own tests.
Yes, your post is malicious. The peace you speak about is a Russian propaganda lie.

Russian tanks were here - hundreds of kilometers away from their border - until the fall of the Soviet Union. We have peace now, only thanks to NATO.
1. If the idea / product is any good, it'll probably catch on quickly and sales will be easy.

2. Expect your startup/business/product to morph into something else, and that you'll change names and domain names, maybe multiple times.

3. You need an origin story, especially if you want any press. It also helps to be good looking.
Yes, I do believe that NATO is a war-crime committing, human-rights abusing entity that is bringing much death and destruction and turmoil to the world for the sake of special interests - political and commercial - who stand to gain billions in profit from every single NATO base built.

But, I've been paying attention to NATO's war crimes over the last two decades, as well as the immensely evil crimes against humanity committed by the Wests' 5-eyes nations in their disgusting wars. Why haven't you?
The Norwegian border may look remote on a map, but it's close to Murmansk which is an extremely important seaport. (Not claiming Norway is a legitimate threat to Russia, just pointing out it's not that remote.)
This is not a neutral characterization. They are not communists in the sense that they would oppose capitalism. A real communist party exists as well. They are left of US democrats, and major driver seems to be identity politics.
I think Heroku just got a dead zone in pricing. It's too expensive for a single developer (for comfort at least), but any 'proper' company, even with only a couple of full-time developers, can afford the overhead to set things up in AWS.
There is a significant difference between Russian soldiers killing civilian population, and Ukrainian soldiers destroying enemy tanks that are invading their country. One is a despicable war crime, and the other one is a heroic act of defence.

That's written in Python and uses the "agate" library which uses Python's built-in "csv" module. I did a couple of simple benchmarks against Python's csv module in the article: https://benhoyt.com/writings/goawk-csv/#performance (Go/GoAWK is a bit more than 3x as fast)

I also did a quick test using csvcut to pull out a single field, and compared it to GoAWK. Looks like GoAWK is about 4x as fast here:

$ time csvcut -c agency_id huge.csv >/dev/null

real 0m25.977s

WP is just very famous so clients often require it and know it. I don't think it has ever been choice developers would go for if they didn't have to.

But other newer crop of CMSes - Craft, Ghost, Kirby, Twill, October, Grav... they don't have the legacy baggage and are just so much better for fully custom made sites. You basically get light web framework with super customisable admin.

On the other hand for the "quick marketing site builder" - WP is getting eaten by Webflow and also Wix and their new new builder.

Last nail to the coffin is that WP has become big target of hackers and its just hustle to keep it going compared to most other self hosted solutions.

I don't think its websites going away so much as it's WP loosing to alternatives.
Because that would have been agressive from the NATO standpoint. Russia was not having a "war" with Ukraine, from Putins standpoint they were going into their own country to protect their citisens. That would just have played out Putins way to support his narrative that Russia is under attack from the rest of the world.
politics tramples intellectual curiosity
AFAIK kicking someone out of NATO is very difficult. Otherwise I suspect that about 5 years ago Turkey would have been at risk of being removed.
According to Swedish newspaper Expressen, this is happening on Monday.

I guess it's for the best. I've not really held a position on NATO but the whole point of the alliance is to not allow for the kind of war that is taking place in Ukraine. I hope this leads to the best possible outcome for all.
I completely get your point, and you're correct, but there are layers to it, especially in crypto. And I guess that means layers of fishy stuff.

If your luna stop loss was done in UST, you are also effed, even if you took the precaution of stop loss, because the "stable"coin dipped. Not saying that this was "safe" to do, but there are surely people out there who did this and got screwed, and I guess that would feel terrible.
Are you suggesting an alternative or arguing that we shouldn't be storing state at all?
This makes a lot of sense. I have been working on something similar, along the lines of mixing Latex and Markdown, and christened it "Recursive TeXt". Currently it only exists as a macOS app with me as the only user (it is still early stage with lots of changes ahead, but all articles on https://practal.com are done with it).

Making React part of this makes a lot of sense on one hand, but on the other hand it feels to me that documents should be more long-lived than React might be. So a compromise might be to use React under the hood for components, but to abstract it away in a document DSL. But that might be just overthinking it.
