When you have "format wars", the best idea is usually to have a converter program change to the easiest to work with format - unless this incurs a space explosion as per some image/video formats.

With CSV-like data, bulk conversion from quoted-escaped RFC4180 CSV to a simpler-to-parse format is the best plan for several reasons. First, it may "catch on", help Microsoft/R/whoever embrace the format and in doing so squash many bugs written by "data analyst/scientist coders". Second, in a shell "a|b" runs programs a & b in parallel on multi-core and allow things like csv2x|head -n10000|b or popen("csv2x foo.csv"). Third, bulk conversion to a random access file where literal delimiters cannot occur as non-delimiters allows trivial file segmentation to be nCores times faster (under often satisfied assumptions). There are some D tools for this bulk convert in https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils and a much smaller stand-alone Nim tool https://github.com/c-blake/nio/blob/main/utils/c2tsv.nim . Optional quoting was always going to be a PITA due to its non-locality. What if there is no quote anywhere? Fourth, by using a program as the unit of modularity in this case, you make things programming language agnostic. Someone could go to town and write a pure SIMD/AVX512 converter in assembly even and solve the problem "once and for all" on a given CPU. The problem is actually just simple enough that this smells possible.

I am unaware of any "document" that "standardizes" this escaped/lossless TSV format. { Maybe call it "DSV" for delimiter separated values where "delimiters actually separate"? Ironically redundant. ;-) } Someone want to write an RFC or point to one? It can be just as "general/lossless" (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31352170).

Of course, if you are going to do a lot of data processing against some data, it is even better to parse all the way to down to binary so that you never have to parse again (well, unless you call CPUs loading registers "parsing") which is what database systems have been doing since the 1960s.

Layoffs hit the email marketing agency I worked for, about half the staff let go as clients stopped spending. I survived because I was "the SQL database guy." The multimedia company I had worked for previously shut down suddenly. When the marketing company started to cut back even more I left to work at a big logistics company writing Oracle code.

The one skill that kept me off the layoff list multiple times: relational databases and SQL.
> You're adding a bunch of risk for literally no upside.

You mine a Bitcoin that 'should' be worth 5k USD, but is instead selling 60k USDT. So instead of selling that Bitcoin for 5k, you instead sell ~8% of your Bitcoin for 5k USDT, pay your expenses, and keep the other 92% of the Bitcoin you mined.
And you know that you can like spend money over time right? Or maybe even raise the budget? Or maybe they have a savings account that they draw from?

It looks like they are supportive and keen on the changes? From the article:

It's definitely a huge opportunity, no doubt. But it affects the C ABI[1] for Python itself, something that everyone in the conversation is aware of, and that would have implications for all distributions of Python.

Add in the importance of effective code review for a 20k LoC changeset, and it seems there are good reasons to be cautious despite the optimism and excitement.

David Heinemeier Hansson (of Ruby on Rails and Basecamp fame) once wrote a blog post with related advice on per-seat pricing (for a SaaS) and how this leads to chasing the biggest companies. One you've gained a very large company as a client, that company's outsize influence will affect features, fixes and direction in your product (in a negative way according to Hansson).

The Basecamp pricing model (flat monthly fee) is not often emulated by other startups, but it's worked well for Basecamp.

*I don't know how to sell.*

Well, have you been to a job interview and got the job? That was a closed deal. You understood the problem, you showed them why you not someone else and you got hired. That is selling.

>Russia/Russian government is allowed to perceive it any way he wants, but that might not dictate NATO policy.

Also, picking this from a comment of yours further below:

>In the end, not sure it really matters how Russia sees the situation to be honest or what Russia thinks is relevant to them in.

Obviously Russia wanted Ukraine under their influence and NATO stood against that. It really _does_ matter how Russia sees things, now there's a war in Ukraine.

2) Probably because Russia sanctioning Ukraine would not be as debilitating for the country as the embargo against Cuba has been for Cuba.

3) You're talking about land that is part of the Russian Federation since 1945, is very close to Moscow and the mainland and is surrounded by NATO members because Poland and Lithuania joined NATO in 1999 & 2004. I'm not sure you're making any sense in this. Also, it's nowhere near the USA, Russia's main adversary.

At the end of the day, yes NATO and the USA may do as they wish, will removing Ukraine from Russia's influence lead to better lives for the Ukrainian people? Will this war that has already caused so many deaths and so much pain, be worth it? I don't know, and I don't think anyone can answer with much certainty.

In my personal experience, most get promoted to management of people and their skills in project management atrophy over time. Some break that pattern and instead move to consulting. Most companies I’ve worked with and for do not have a career path for a competent, highly skilled PM who wants to remain just that and further hone his/her skills. The choices are up (to people management) or out (to consulting).

Not a scam as such, but definitely a service that's been propped up with investor money, and is only now facing the realities of having to deliver real profits.
I haven’t seen success at all. That's because people is super hard. Selling to people and managing people.

Selling is super hard. Ideas are worthless if you can't sell. My thesis is that make sure you have the connections to make the initial sells and you have the personality trait to ask for referral and grow from the initial sales.

If you haven’t figured out a way to guaranteed sales yet, don’t hope for a miracle with marketing. When you start investing in marketing you will find yourself convincing yourself you are investing in the goodwill which might generate sales down the line which is a lie*.

I think many people take on investors hoping that will lead to sales leads or an "in" in the industry. Sometimes that backfires because the investors will setup metrics, KPI and goals which is often based on sales itself!

Don't build something that the world needs, build something that you can sell!

> A peg is only as strong as how much money you have to defend it.

Emphasis on liquid money. You know, the reason why central banks started QE is that banks don't want to invest into long term assets and just keep their reserves at the central bank. QE effectively turned a fixed term asset like treasuries into a short term overnight asset that you can sell and buy instantly.

Notice who is pushing the narrative of Russia bogged down - journalists, politicians and their nominees, economists, and people with an active career in the military. There are also some dissidents in the West pushing the opposite narrative - ex-marine, retired intelligence officer, weapons inspector, colonel from a neutral country. Which group knows more about how a modern war is waged? Which group has a better track record so far? Which group openly admits they're releasing unverified claims in order to shape the public opinion?

> How much would it cost to continuously occupy a country of 48 million largely hostile people

If Russia limits the territorial acquisition to Russian-speaking regions, they'll be fine. Minorities are almost always strongly in support of unification with their nation-state. Some historical examples - 77% of Sudeten Germans voted for Nazi Sudetendeutsche Partei. 99.7% of Austrians voted for unification with Germany in 1938 referendum. 95.6% of Crimeans voted for unification with Russia. 95.7% of Cypriots voted for unification with Greece in 1950

I can think of an example; the gambling industry. When a large event (such as a big football match, the Grand National, etc) finishes, all the bets will need settling. It's difficult to do big swathes at once, since different accounts might qualify (or not) for promotions or similar.

Any other large-scale individual action driven by a particular event happening could also fall under this description; concert tickets going on sale for example.

Of course many workloads might not need to go from zero to 3,000 containers that quickly - but it's useful to know that the underlying infrastructure can do this so that you know it ought to handle far smaller demand spikes without much concern.

Well now you're getting into what 'worth' means. As a kid I had a bunch of baseball cards that Becketts said were 'worth' $X. I took them to the local shop and they would only pay some value < $X. "But it says right here they are worth $X!" My grandfather was smiling and said you learned a valuable lesson that something is only worth whatever someone will pay.

NFTs are a bit like celebrity signatures. They are worth what someone will pay. If a celebrity verifiably digitally signs something and they only do it once, that is worth something to some people as a collectible. It is not worthless as long as someone is willing to pay something. And, like other collectibles the market can have huge swings and sometimes never recover (like all my baseball cards lol).

When starting a greenfield project, the programming language will affect the culture quite a bit. At such a project, I chose C# because it's a reasonably good language and easy to hire for. What I found was that there's a culture of writing—in my opinion—overly abstract code. Our coding challenge could be solved easily in 50 lines of code, but most candidates would submit huge projects with dependency injection, type reflection, class hierarchies, etc. It was hard to create a culture of simplicity.

Now, this is highly subjective, but I think the general lesson applies: Programming language choice is important for culture.
The first question you should have 'is the future here'? In 10 years do you predict your current country will be back to rockin it. Everything will be just fine?

If yes then no reason to sell. Timing the market, selling now, hoping to buy at the bottom is never something that works. That huge profit margin in hindsight is such a lottery in practice. Though buying during the dip can be quite beneficial.

If no to the above question, you expect your country to be a shitshow. What are you doing staying? Stock market isnt the question, why would you stay if you expect problems? Go find a better place to live. Your stocks aren't a primary concern.
WordPress backend code is insane, but it is one of the few systems in widespread usage where you can reliably reverse engineer your way to solving bugs or making changes with minimal knowledge and effort.

There are so many JavaScript first systems in use today that are practically impossible to debug / modify without complete intimate knowledge of the codebase.

Having a statically typed language doesn't mean you don't write tests.

Sure, there's a subset of tests you can avoid writing but you're still going to be writing a ton of tests with both language types. I also think this point gets blown out of proportion. For example I don't write a ton of boilerplate "what if I pass X type to Y variable" types of tests in Rails because I trust the database and Rails' validations. For example if I have a datetime field in a DB which is automatically defined as a datetime in Rails I'm not going to write a separate test for what happens if I pass in a string, integer, boolean, list, hash and so on. I'd write a test around making sure the date is within a specific range if I hooked up a validation rule to it to limit the range, but I'd write the same test with a statically typed language too.

Also, Stripe has a good write up[0] on how they use Sorbet to add type checking for Ruby and how they applied it to a multi-million line code base without disrupting developers too much. Basically a small team did most of the work, including writing the tool and migrating the code base. I haven't used it personally but it exists and can be used successfully at scale.

It didn't seem realistic that they'll invade Ukraine yet they did (not in Desert Storm fashion but Mongol invasion way) You join an alliance like NATO to prepare for the possibility of a Russia invasion however likely/unlikely it is at a given point. As for Sweden in particular Gotland is 300km from Russia and it was remilitarized in 2016 - makes you wonder why.

Most users of WordPress would be better served by a static site generator system. Unfortunately, it seems most of these are very much "by developers, for developers" in flavor. They're overly complicated and insufficiently developed in the front-end to be useful to most of WordPress' current target market (e.g., businesses with a need to present mostly static content, but with the ability to make changes and deploy/publish them without too much technical know-how required).
Why? It's the most efficient use of resources and allows for some great cultural and public infrastructure to exist that just doesn't make sense without density.
If anyone's read the full proposal, does it specify what types of communication they want to monitor? It seems unlikely that providers like Google and Meta are just going to turn off their E2E encryption and let the EU plug in their cable.
