Hypothetically, if the west actually wanted to give up sanctions in return for clearing the blockade.. why, in what universe, could they possibly expect Russia to stand by its word?

Russia said for six months they were simply conducting exercises and had no intention of invading whatsoever. Why should anyone believe they would clear the blockade if sanctions lift?
One dimension of this is that if you invent something, then you must uplevel people around you.
Big picture it's interesting how GitHub + Markdown is basically becoming a major content publishing product. Albeit for a technical niche market. Of course I'm not saying this is GitHub's main goal. More like a P1. Instant publishing, diagrams, and now math expressions.
Here’s another tip: Grow a Biointensive Garden

-Use raised beds or Hugelkulture to increase yields.
-Use sq foot gardening to plant more in less space
-Develop a three stage compost pile. Import food waste from others in your neighborhood if needs be.
-Grow year round with cold frames
-Use cover crops to enrich soil over winter

Thats how you garden to eat my friends

Was he able to solve the binary tree question this time?
What do you mean by frustrating? In my memory of 2008, there was a real sense of panic, far beyond anything we're seeing right now. Before it was evident things had gone really wrong, plenty of people had a sense that something had to give—housing was going crazy, and I remember making $37k and qualifying for mortgages on NYC apartments—but inflation was <3% and unemployment was low.

While I think we're headed for a whole new kind of disaster (albeit one I can't predict—unlike 2008, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with financing of housing, but I can't see how these prices are sustainable), I'm not sure it'll be 2008-level doom. The frustration, I think, comes from a real sense of the toll of inflation coupled with annoyance, sometimes unarticulated, that we could have put the breaks on by raising interest rates more aggressively long ago, circa 2015-2016, when the stock market started going crazy.

Commercial production of vegetables, particularly those not considered essential, was artificially low during the war, constrained by government control of allocation of things like materials for packaging and freight cars for transportation, and by no draft exemptions for male workers from the farm to the market.
In general, my observation is that retirement is either a fairy tale or for those who are incredibly rich.

I have plenty of savings, but I never expect to be able to retire. There is simply no way I could ever have enough savings for it to amount to anything. The last time I did the math was pre-COVID and I estimated I'd need no less than $4 million to retire.

Unless you count working until I am physically unable to work any longer, then living a very meager existence for a few short years and dying. That I fully expect.
Maybe, though I think it's better explained by the widespread availability of pornography, and the power of the internet in reinforcing cult-like behaviour.

There's a huge amount of "forced feminization" pornography out there now, accessible by children at a very young age. As well as "lesbian" pornography designed for the male gaze. It's no wonder some males end up feeling they should be like the characters in the pornography they consume.

It's controversial to say this these days, but old school transwomen such as Anne Lawrence were very open about the sexually-charged nature of their dysphoria. (And she published extensively on this topic.)

On top of that, there are many trans-encouraging echo chambers in the form of online forums, subreddits, and Twitter - ready to help anyone even vaguely curious to "crack their egg", as they say.

Maybe environmental estrogens play some part in this rise, but I suspect it would only be a small piece of the larger puzzle.
I think you are not defining the problem broadly enough. Working or coding in general can not provide all the challenge and social belonging in life. Pick something that you are not good at and recapture satisfaction of growth. For example, I took up kickboxing about a year ago and I am still not great at it, but I can see improvement month by month. Or an ultimate 100x - have/adopt a kid or another kid, no more boredom for a decade.

Next, even when it comes to work, you are not replicating your results at scale yet. Can you discover people with great potential and train them until they are able to challenge YOU and suggest improvements to whatever you come up with.

Finally, is there truly no individual challenge left for yourself as an individual contributor? Have you looked at state of the art in 3D graphics, machine learning and quantum computing and expanded your expertise in these areas? Or if you prefer traditional programming, try coding for low end embedded devices where extreme ingenuity is required for production functionality and performance. Don't mean to jump straight into recruitment, but if you want, ping me some ways to contact you and I bet we can keep you challenged for a while.

Or, for non work fun, check out retro computing / demo scene. This cuts down tedium of writing lots of code - can't fit that much in 64K or even 640L - while maximizing fun of making every line count.

He was basically right!
I didn't say they can't be friends or have fun together, I was talking about the scenario of "mandatory fun", where such events are forced top-down. It's quite a different scenario when colleagues self-organize an event without any power dynamic at play.

As to coworkers becoming friends, there's nothing wrong with it, but hard disagree on this needing to be a company goal. Friendly? Yes. Actual friends? Very much optional.

There's big cultural and personal differences regarding this matter. Some cultures and people maintain a hard boundary between their work and personal life, they don't necessarily blend into each other.

Theoretically, in practice ISPs have been largely been handing out PDs and calling it a day (for consumers at least). This means you get many networks worth of v6 but they won't statically assign those many networks of v6 to you. That said they don't actively try to make them change and they aren't under pressure to use every last IP like IPv4 and for many carriers it's unlikely you'll ever have your v6 PD assignments change after a boot (ATT fiber is a good example). Of course if you do you're usually just shit out of luck as extremely few carriers provide the option to customers on v6 for whatever reasoning.
> I think of this story whenever I see jQuery popup on Hacker News. There is always a strong contingent of devs who swear by this library. But to me, they are like the old grey beard who didn't update his knowledge as the times changed.

This is a strawman argument. It's a biased view you hold. Because of that, you make up a story to match your biases around people who use such-and-such library don't think they need to update their skill set. I'm not angry about this, but am only pointing out biased arguments create dissonance.

> I see a trend of well-written, evidence backed articles where large, well funded sites are making a case to deprecate jQuery. These fact-based investigations into problems faced by their dev team result in a reasoned decision to remove a dependency that no longer justifies its cost. I encourage everyone to introspect if their defense of jQuery is on an equal technical footing to these types of investigations.

You read something somewhere about how jQuery is a costly dependency. Yet, there are no links that I can see anywhere in the threads here, nor a good rational argument for people to NOT use jQuery because it is a costly dependency. There are opposing opinions on this, but the opinions that it needs to be included via CDN don't address the fact it can be hosted locally and the opinions "who needs all that code to load?" don't take into account that browsers and networks are bonkers fast nowadays. Who cares if it's a bit more code? It's not like jQuery is growing its codebase at the rate compute and network speed increases.

For that matter, could not the same argument be made of JavaScript itself? I taught myself Promises, not because I could stay "relevant", but because it makes good sense to write code that is easy to read and maintain, even if it is me doing both on my project. The code I produced when I wasn't doing Promises was "legacy" the second it hit the repo, and will be "costly" if someone else has to jump in and work on it to convert it to Promises, because they'll have to brain dump what I was thinking (or not) when I wrote it!

This salt and pepper beard stays up on technology. I didn't really write code in the past, but now I'm great at what I do and I fully intend on exploring new technologies when they compliment what I can do rapidly in the frameworks and methods I well understand, if that's what it takes to get to market faster.
That's impressive. I've done the equivalent of tuning everything and still wound up with battery lifetime half of what it should be on Windows.

There's also specific programs that are really bad. Edge used to add 2-4 hours extra battery life when using my Surface to read PDFs. If I used Firefox, it was shorter by a very noticeable amount.
It's not because the CMOS sensor overheats. That's just some faff someone made up to cover up the real reason.

Imports tariffs for digital video cameras are significantly higher than tariffs for still cameras. So companies like Canon, Nikon, and Sony artificially limit the maximum record time on their DSLRs to get around the higher taxes.
This comment is what leadership looks like.
Change company, felt this way three times already and I started to learn again after changing job for three times. Now I am in like a sort of bridge between code and business so it's more challenging and I actually enjoy to step down, code and solve things that other are not able to ;)
You took specific objection to my comment that victory gardens were to make people "feel like they were helping". I meant this to imply some kind of externalized effect beyond just saving money.

It's also probably wrong that a home garden will net save you money unless you make like $3/hr. Again, unless you're extracting pleasure from gardening.
> “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.”

Easier said than done. I found smarter people only in few teams in FAANGs, but never in other companies.

Unfortunately there are many other aspects that we need to balance out in life other than being in the right room.
There is no prohibition on the legislature passing civil ex-post-facto laws, only criminal.

Agencies can only enforce ex-post-facto policy changes if congress explicitly authorized them to.

... Also, as Matt Levine points out, executive agencies are prohibited by law from making capricious and arbitrary policy changes. Congress is not bound by any such restrictions - it can pass legislature that is as capricious and arbitrary, and as completely devoid of public input as it likes.
> Some very basic C code working with one compiler might not work on another.

I teach C and C++, and you have no idea how often I hear "But it worked on my machine!" when I give back bad grades due to code that segfaults when I go to run it.
I recently looked into how much rice I'd need to survive for a year. The results were fairly surprising. A kilogram of uncooked rice only provide you with about 3500 kcal, less than you'd use in 2 days of time (for the average human). So you'd need quite a lot of rice. Beans are similar, they just have more protein (not a complete protein though).

I concluded that while it is definitely advisable to have some number of days/weeks in storage, it doesn't seem feasible to store enough food to last a prolonged period of time (unless you go all-in on prepping, which has its limits). We humans are as successful as we are because we cooperate with other humans, and on our own we're pretty powerless. So fostering community might be the best way to advert crisis.
> I’ve always felt that I was able to build effective working relationships without resorting to mandatory drinks after work, or other mandatory fun.

Those arent my favorites either, but lets not reduce the options to the stereotype: there are other ways too.

The two qualifiers you put in front of relationship already pidgeonholes the outcomes. I think you should consider that you may in fact not have been developing good relationships, or possibly very one-sided ones.
> if nginx made letsencrypt as easy as caddy does

The EFF cerbot plugin has it covered; assuming your generic Debian server with nginx already configured to host www.domain.com (trivial hello, world setup - nothing fancy) then it's:

apt-get install cerbot python3-certbot-nginx

certbot --nginx -d www.domain.com -d domain.com \
--agree-tos -m "email@domain.com" --no-eff-email \
--deploy-hook "systemctl reload nginx"

systemctl restart nginx

All done. Certbot is already running as a systemd service to handle ongoing renewals and it'll now restart nginx if your cert is updated. This example uses the trivial http-01 ACME method, if you need the more complex DNS based setup for wildcards that'll take a bit more elbow grease.
This is how the article summarizes the report:

>So what exactly had those 248 pages said? What had David Sabatini been found guilty of that merited this kind of punishment? Chiefly, failing to disclose his consensual relationship with Knouse. On top of that, the report found that Sabatini, in his day-to-day administration of the lab, violated the Whitehead’s Anti-Harassment Policy, since his “behavior created a sexualized undercurrent in the lab.” Sabatini’s relationship with Knouse exacerbated things, given his “indirect influence” over her, which violated the Anti-Harassment Policy and ran afoul of the “spirit” if not the letter of another of the institute's policies. True, he didn’t supervise Knouse. He didn’t work directly with her. He never threatened her or proposed a quid pro quo. And he certainly didn’t have the power to fire her. But, according to the report, he had “experience, stature, and age” over her. Knouse’s apparent desire to continue their relationship only served to confirm his influence: “That she felt the need to act ‘fun’ to impress Sabatini underscores how Sabatini’s words and actions profoundly impacted her,” the lawyers wrote. Nor did the lawyers care for the happy hours and whiskey tastings that Sabatini sometimes hosted in his office, which betrayed his “apparent ‘friendliness’ and general propensity to have ‘fun.’” (Knouse, in her counterclaim, says the events were “drunken,” and “conversations quite frequently veered to the sexual.”) “While we have not found any evidence that Sabatini discriminates against or fails to support females in his lab, we find that Sabatini’s propensity to praise or gravitate toward those in the lab that mirror his desired personality traits, scientific success, or view of ‘science above all else,’ creates additional obstacles for female lab members,” the report concluded.

Not sure I understand what is damning about his behavior based on this summary.
You know "veteran" does mean "someone with a lot of experience in something", right? In non-US countries that's even the primary meaning.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/veteran, https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis... both give its primary meaning as "a person who has had a lot of experience of a particular activity" or similar. Even Wikipedia gives the generic definition first, and clarifies the more specific case as "military veteran".
The article says each operation gets a unique note, but I wonder how the notes were selected? It would be interesting to apply some musical theory to the process so that, for example, operations which normally run together form pleasing cords, while warning or errors appear more discordant. One could also experiment with using different voices/instruments in addition to plain notes.
What is "the west" exactly? Japan? New Zealand? Finland? Tunisia? A better term would be liberal democracies, but that wouldn't have quite the same "both sides are the same" ring to it, would it?

If they don't stand by their word then they can re-impose the sanctions, it's as simple as that.

Because at some point the West will have to sit at the negotiating table with Russia.

This is an underrated answer.

When your colleagues start treating you as the "go-to guy", I think it's often holding back their own development. Why should they try harder when they know your code review will catch everything they missed? Why bother volunteering for challenging tasks when they know you will do it faster?

Often when you are put in the position of being the "go-to guy" at a company, you start to imagine that the company will fall apart without you. But it turns out that when you leave... the company just keeps going. And sometimes those developers you worked with that you might have seen as mediocre or unmotivated now grasp the opportunity to step up and grow into something better.

I think if you feel like all the pressure is on your shoulders and the company would fail without you, you have a bad relationship with your job. Your work is where you go to get paid. The end. Unless you are literally being paid 10x what your colleagues are being paid, from the company's perspective you are not a 10x developer. The truth is, in most cases, the company doesn't care all that much whether they have in you a 1.5x developer or a 10x developer. They value you exactly as much as they're paying you, no more. So don't feel irreplaceable. The world will keep on spinning long after you are gone.
Small (1kg) vacuum-sealed bags should be fine though.
> Bootcamps such as Hack Reactor (purchased by Galvanize)

No, this generalization is quite correct. If you went to a bootcamp which was not such as Hack Reactor, then perhaps you may wish to promote the program by name and discuss your experience there.
> No one expects the police to pull over every driver that is going 36 in a 35

Why not? If it's ever OK to pull someone over for 1 MPH over the limit without any other violations, then why isn't it always? Where do you draw the line? Why not codify that instead of the strict limit?

If there is supposed to be discretion, then the law should acknowledge this by not providing a strict limit and requiring that the state prove a case that the driver was being unsafe by traveling the speed they were. If there is a strict limit, then it should be set such that one can reasonably say that it's always wrong to exceed it. Saying it should be strictly enforced for some and loosely for others just leaves room for that discretion to be weaponized.

---

It's also worth noting that at the moment speed enforcement has a much greater impact on the poor than the rich.

For the most part if you can afford to hire a lawyer speeding tickets can be converted in to zero point off-the-record offenses and are then just a fine, and since fines are not scaled by income in this country anyone who has sufficient disposable income becomes effectively immune to them where a person living paycheck to paycheck already who then likely has to take some or all of a day off of work to go to court might be ruined.

Fix that and I could be in favor of strict enforcement as long as it was truly universal. I feel like if everyone was actually forced to obey the posted limit strictly we'd get some progress on killing speed trap towns and fixing the many places where a fast road has been built with an arbitrarily low speed limit that no one ever follows because it's insane.
That's great and all. I think home gardens are great. But the topic is about food shortages in poor nations due to increases in grain prices. Home gardens does literally nothing to help anyone in poor nations who will be going hungry later this year.
>Easier said than done.

My next line literally says "I know saying this is easier than doing it,"

>Unfortunately there are many other aspects that we need to balance out in life other than being in the right room.

And then I finish with "work/life balance is so much more than just what hours you work"

So... yes. I agree?
Losing wealth to inflation might be preferable to losing it to equities in the coming months. Obviously nobody knows, but it seems long overdue. There are also positions that are very, very lucrative in bear markets, and I'll assume you know about these, or know how to find out about them.
