It is absolutely a loss-loss situation for Russia and Ukraine. However, as long as the West maintains sanctions on Russia and provides a substantial support (both economic and military) to Ukraine, then Russia will not be able to sustain its war effort and pressure on Ukraine.

Europe is finally, for real (albeit slowly and painfully), moving away from the Rusian fossil fuels this time. It will take some time, but it's a tectonic shift.

This is just a personal guess but I think it’s because omicron is just so infectious that it’s simply impossible to stop the spread
Programming-related stuff seems to have gotten a lot worse in the last couple of years. Now most terms, at least for common things, return a ton of blogspam, when the official docs or SO are usually the best source.
When they mutually recognize each others occupied lands as "sovereign states" the context would be pretty obvious. (Turkey to recognize the Russian backed separatists in Ukraine and Russia to recognize the Turkish backed separatists in North Cyprus).

Another point of context to you: Russia's narrative for the invasion of Ukraine is copied word by word from the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
Well, I think you run the risk of not making the app icon (if there is an app) or logo recognition worse. When Uber changed its logo to the weird map pickup thing from the “U” — it hurt them. That’s not a 1:1, obviously because Uber is much more homescreen reliant than Airbnb is, but that doesn’t mean too can’t have bad internet logo redesigns. To say nothing of terrible website redesigns, which have killed companies before (Digg v4).

Again, I’ve come around on the Airbnb one personally. I think it works now.

There's a sound to which my two cats always promptly respond, the sound of me putting food on their bowls. And it doesn't matter how far they are, they hear and come in a hurry.
yep, my previous cat responded with his tail every time. we let him roam outside every day and he would always come home when we whistled or called his name. also walked with us like a dog off a leash.

our current cats are less responsive, maybe cause there's two of them, so they have more cat-like comm.
> I agree, code should never do that. It should be `eachindex(A)`

Will that generate the same code as "i in 1:length(A)"?

Maybe whoever wrote that didn't believe so at least, or perhaps didn't find it so at the time.

The reason @inbounds would have been used is performance, so that's likely why the for loop header was written that way?
Reliable and Automatic Multi-Target Deployments
We are currently evaluating nix as an replacement for our internal build system, our main product is some kind of linux distro.

Nix has real bad onboarding and documentation, the creators hopped off to some other, shinier side projects (flakes) and the rest of the community is struggling to manage the immense maintenance cost of keeping the packages up-to-date and integrated. And the external consultants we hired for it are like, hardcore believers that always tell you how great nix will be in the future, but completely disregard our needs like building offline in a separated network. Which is officially supported but unusable to due bugs.

My bet is that $boss will cancel it this year.
Therefore anything invented since the very first humans existed is strictly not a necessity. Doesn’t seem like a particularly useful definition to me.

That's awesome, I love hearing about applied technology like that, thank you! I wonder what they do with the discard pile?

Contaminated soil, use of pesticides containing dangerous metals, and leaching from manufacturing equipment and packaging are the main sources of heavy metals in baby formula. We should be testing those aspects like soil down to the per square meter samples, production line sampling, and packaging sampling, all as an integral part of the supply chain quality assurance process. The better testing methodologies for heavy metals in food are atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), or inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the operational details to understand whether those methodologies can be packaged into a reliable, accurate, precise miniaturized form factor aimed specifically at testing formula to simplify the sampling aspects. I imagine sampling contamination might be a big issue with a miniaturized tester, along with an entire host of other challenges. There might even be limits of physics I'm unaware of that entirely prohibit miniaturization; the test equipment I'm aware of are benchtop at best in size, not handheld with maybe a smartphone front-end (to leave a screen out of the BOM).
That doesn’t mean we can’t root for more walkable cities!
You are being reasonable based on the data you have, but just like teenage girls on instagram your reality is being distorted by the data you are fed. It is well established that teenage girl mental health is being hurt by that information being shown to them over social media, specifically information that makes them feel less attractive or less self confident.

Similarly, if you watch a subset of car videos, specifically "Tesla FSD Failure" videos, you will believe that FSD is a huge problem. If instead you had watched videos of people leaving bars and manually driving cars after 8:00PM and a subset of FSD videos driving perfectly, you would come to the conclusion that you want your family no where near bars instead of FSD.

The NTSB is our best hope at actually making driving safer and not just knee-jerk reacting to a few dozen videos.

Thanks V. I'm seeing a similar number of problem search requests (although nowhere near as many real search requests:-), so it is probably the same "SEO practitioners" running the same "scraping footprints" against different search engines around the same time.

I was kind-of hoping that somewhere in this discussion there would be an "And the answer to your problem is...", but I suppose it is a very specific problem which only a search engine would encounter. I think the Cloudflare solution you have is probably the best to block the requests as early as possible. The reverse proxy config[0] I've got seems to be mostly holding out for now though.

One of the areas we are exploring is developing Wayland protocols that will offer native e-ink support to client applications.

Radiology technicians do more than just press a button: Every time I've had an X-ray or other imaging, the tech has positioned me; told me to move my arms and/or legs and/or torso and/or head; had me turn just a bit this way or that; etc. I could easily see how a court would conclude that this involved sufficient creativity that the image would constitute an "original work of authorship."

Speaking as a (former) litigator, I think you have a misimpression about what lawyers and judges do in our common-law judicial system. In part, we deal with edge- and corner cases that simply aren't clearly addressed in the statute. (If you're a software developer, you're surely familiar with the phenomenon.)

It could be argued that in a civil case, if a statute doesn't clearly allow the plaintiff to recover, then the court should simply deny the requested relief. But that's not how the Anglo-American system works. Anciently, to help keep the peace, common-law judges tried to figure out, "what would the King do if he were here?" Likewise, in our modern system, they ask, "what was the intent of [Parliament | Congress | the state legislature] in an edge- or corner case like this?" and to grant or deny relief accordingly. Is that a perfect system? No. But it has worked reasonably well for centuries, and so there'd be a huge path-dependence problem in trying to change it.
Data from Hong Kong shows that three shots of Sinovac is still 98% effective against severe outcomes with Omicron:

https://fortune.com/2022/03/22/china-covid-vaccine-data-reop...

And it doesn't make a lot of sense that the different vaccines would be substantially different against different variants or would wane quicker once the same level of vaccination was reached. Once you've got the T-cells and B-cells they're permanent and they aren't going to remember what kind of vaccine they came from. The differences in the vaccines should just be in overall effectiveness.

Mostly they just need to get their elderly population vaccinated, doesn't matter much how. It is really weird to watch China treat them with kid gloves.
Agreed, the general internet is not dead, but the majority of internet users are on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, HackerNews, Instagram, Google Maps, Discord etc.

From my perspective, we onboarded a lot (if not most) people to the internet after 2007 (the explosion of social media). People sticking to big sites really speaks to an inability to explore the larger internet and a lack of knowing why you would even want to.
IPFS was added because blockchain data storage is astronomically expensive. The problem is IPFS is a layer of abstraction to hide the problem away like some shell game. People treat it like it provides storage, while what it actually does is find parties who are hosting the data - if any are left.

So while your data might be independent of any single service provider in concept, it might actually be provided by a single vendor's servers, even potentially pinning it with no data backups.
And then there were no more ghost crabs, because their sand-colored camouflage was no longer effective.

Occasionally there are HN articles with different articles. Court cases is a common one where often the HN article link to the primary sources and those that can't read dutch, German, Hindi or what have you will just have to auto translate or find a different source. Sometimes a friendly HN comment will post a good secondary source and hopefully it will rise to the top.

The government spent the past few years bragging that it beat Covid and would lose a lot of credibility if it admitted that actually it didn't and now a new policy is needed.

Of course there is also a limit to what the people will take in terms of lockdowns and that hurts the government's credibility too. But the government is still betting they can persist with the current policy.
We currently live in a car-infested inferno of a planet, what's the use in pointing out that people outside of urban centers often need cars? We still need to drastically and urgently reduce car dependence.
In my view the most effective organizations are made up of mini CEOs.

When you read about organizations which were highly effective there is usually a common theme of management by objective and giving people ownership. “The HP Way” and this speech by Rickhover are two such examples: https://govleaders.org/rickover.htm

Pointing out the corruption inherent when power is available is always a valuable thing, but socialism arguably would be suboptimal even if you make the impossible assumption that all humans are saints who are genuinely seeking the best possible outcome for their fellow man.

The Austrian economist Ludwig Von Mises wrote an essay in 1920 called "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth" which made the argument that without market pricing, rational economic calculation is impossible. To give an example: say that you had a plot of land to develop in a hypothetical city and wanted to do the best possible thing for the people with zero corruption. How can you know if building a hospital, a school, a factory, a mine, a shopping mall, new housing, a public park, a museum, or a farm is the best possible thing for the people? Those are all things that some people might see a need for. Without market pricing, you have no way of truly knowing what is valued more and what's the best use of a limited resource. Even if you democratically tried to decide in a genuinely fair way with informed citizens, there's no way to actually determine what is more valuable under a socialist system.

To give the other point of view, this is somewhat of a debate and this idea has been challenged in various ways, see the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_calculation_debate

Personally I think the best argument against the calculation problem is that you can say that socialism merely tends to be inefficient compared to capitalism. However, I'd make the followup point that the system we have now is arguably not capitalism, but state corporatism. Winners/Losers in the marketplace tend to be determined more by lobbyists, lawyers, and corrupt politicians rather than through genuine open competition.
Why do you think there should be a "valid" (you mean face-saving?) exit from the war? I would argue that a full military defeat of Russia is a valid end of this war.
Show HN: I built a platform to help businesses grow paying customers
https://www.knowforwork.com/

I am looking for people that run businesses that want to try a new way to grow their paying customers. I built a referral marketing platform that uses vouchers to attract new paying customers. The idea is for each referral someone makes, they get a voucher and so does the person being referred.

Let say your product is $100 and you give a $10 off voucher. If someone refers their friend to your product/service, both of them gets to buy your product/service for $90. You are earning less per person, but as a whole, you now have 1 more customer that can pay $180.

I am targeting businesses that can sell their product/service as a package. We help manage your vouchers and we don't restrict you on how your customers purchase. It's entirely up to you how those vouchers are used. The platform is free to use. If you want to try it out, just fill out this form (https://www.knowforwork.com/list-company).

The only one bullshitting is Elon Musk - that 5% number has been in Twitter's 10-Q for literally years. Here's the 10-Q from Q3 2020:

https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001418091/cb1d93d...

"We have performed an internal review of a sample of accounts and estimate that the average of false or spam accounts during the third quarter of 2020 represented fewer than 5% of our mDAU during the quarter. The false or spam accounts for a period represents the average of false or spam accounts in the samples during each monthly analysis period during the quarter"

This is not a new stat or new information.
Bah. Most laptops don't have GPIO pins.
"It's weird how so many of the arguments against what I've originally written pretend that it matters whether the reward comes from a block reward or transactions fees. It does not matter."

"It does matter."

Miner do not care, so it does not matter.

This is amazing to watch. hn_throwaway_99 complains that he only gets handwaving and circular arguments against this, only to get multiple answers which are exactly that.

Mining will always spend a large chunk (>50%? depends on the complete distribution of efficiency off all miners) of rewards on electricity. A quick search shows this to be 0.5% of all electricity used in the world. If Bitcoin price goes up 10x right now, this would shortly increase to around 5%.

But, there is also a thing that miners still have to pay electricity in dollars or whatever, so they are forced to sell on exchanges. This creates a downwards pressure on Bitcoin price.

Currently this could be somewhere around $billion per month. So, you need a billion a month of fresh sucker money, just for the bitcoin price to stay the same.
