Didn't EU freeze all Russian dollar accounts? That basically means Russia never gets those dollar payments. Why would it keep delivering gas for free? Does that "contract" even mean anything then? By switching to rubles Russia actually helped EU nations with a legal way to keep paying for gas.
Isn't that the point of the original comment that started all this? You can't simply shove a band aid on top of the mental health problem and expect it to magically get better in a year. This is a complex problem that will require a complex long term solution which will itself take a while to show results.
This used to be true, while it's hard to quantify it doesn't really seem to be true anymore.
The pervasive testimony from local law enforcement that the DA's office won't even respond about prosecuting most offenses. Not just minor offenses -- theft, burglaries, assault and at least one manslaughter/homicide case.

The second hand testimony from residents and business owners saying the police are telling them not to expect them to be able to prosecute anyone.

But there's also the evidence of what Boudin openly said and advocated. Sometimes the message and the stated intent are worth replacing regardless of how effective they've been at their goals.

Yes, you are perfectly right, but sometimes it is overwhelming/tiring, the bad changes are becoming so common (and supported/accepted by so many people) that "fighting" against them appears to be (and very probably it actually is anyway) completely void of any relevance.

I don’t have a very good understanding of the legal framework here. Is there some reason the FBI was not supposed to handle this? I know there is a complex system involved and I’m not sure if the FBI is at fault or if the framework itself is severely in need of repair.

Either way I hope this gets fixed so it doesn’t happen again.
> You're deploying via VS Code? If so, that's a weird pattern.

I don't think it's a weird pattern, maybe a slightly legacy one but not out of the ordinary. I've seen this pattern used at multiple places (not implement by me). It makes sense if you have special use-cases where you need to use physical hardware and/or a local stack is too heavy or complicated to run.
This seems more for bulk searches than secrecy.

I'm pretty sure Sublime has a plugin that uses an actual NeoVim instance to process all inputs with all your configuration. Never tried it, I don't use Sublime. But I can confirm the feature works well in Firefox via FireNvim.
Unfortunately authority 'given' to CBP at the actual border (for crossers) significantly exceeds that of the 100 mile zone. They can basically detain you indefinitely without charging you with a crime and meanwhile strip search you, finger print you, toss you in a cell, etc.

The constitution doesn't apply at the border. Maybe in theory it does, but in reality it doesn't. CBP Officers specifically told me "I consent to whatever happens afterwards when I cross the border."

[ Also been told once, me a US citizen with a passport, that they had decided not to let me in my own country. Was not let through until an HSI detective came to "make sure I wasn't ISIS." ]

You get no attorney. You can't contact anyone. You can't touch your phone, if you have one. You can be tossed in custody without any oversight, and without being mirandarized. I have been booked, finger printed, tossed in a cell as a US citizen who provided a legal passport and violated no laws. You can be tossed in a van, cuffed and shackled and driven wherever they like, including hospitals where they will try to convince doctors to anal probe you (this is a real example from my personal experience).

I've studied the court cases involving US citizens, including a woman who had her orifices brutally penetrated until they were raw by a doctor[0]. THe federal docket shows no real result, and that the CBP investigated themselves and determined they did nothing wrong.

In the end the courts don't give a fuck, and most Americans don't even have a passport. I'm quite sure a good 10% of Americans would go along with a proposal that said "We should allow border patrol to shoot any suspicious persons at our borders." Border and immigration are notoriously dystopian arms of the government, because citizens either have bigger concerns or just don't give a shit what happens there.

If you contact a lawyer regarding border abuse, they will basically refer you to the (swamped) ACLU, because they know it's a waste of their time to even try.

Can't stand IDEA if there's a decent VSCode plugin for the language I'm working with (which there generally is). It's way too sluggish, I avoid it as much as possible

I used it for a year or so around 2015. It was a huge improvement over Eclipse, which is what I'd been using since this was at a Java shop, but even then I knew it was sluggish. I just assumed back then that you couldn't have IDE features without sluggishness. Now I know better

(To be clear I have no idea how VSCode's Java experience, specifically, compares with IDEA these days; I haven't written Java since 2015)
Also all have the same magnitude of latency and lag. At least you know if one of them bugs you, they all will.
There was a browser based game called "Utopia" in the 00s that was reasonably popular. Someone wrote a tool where you'd copy/paste your kingdom homescreen, and get all sorts of calculations / predictions.

It was one of the easiest-to-use calculators I've ever seen. Just enter your webpage to play the game, Ctrl-A (select-all), Ctrl-C (copy), and bam, the Utopia-program would instantly analyze your kingdom and provide advice.

Just all off of the HTML-copy that Clipboard supports.

------------

Windows developers "know" the clipboard is one of the most important inter-process communication structures of the entire system, and have known for years. Its probably one of the Win32 API's biggest advantages, no joke.

The shear amount of creative solutions I've seen from clipboard manipulations is outstanding.
People save money doing a job they hate to one day start a business they don't hate all the time. The key part of this story is 'raising capital.'

Most people joining the tech industry today aren't doing it because they're particularly good at it, or they want to. It's the best way to raise capital to do something else.
I'm in the same boat and look for a configurable text editor. I have Sublime, but haven't used it much, until now.
I think Democrats at the national level underestimate how much inner-city Democratic mayors, city councils, school boards, and district attorneys determine their image as a party. If suburban swing voters, when commuting into the city center to work, shop, go to a show, etc. see homeless encampments and vacant storefronts, it's going to hit the Democrats' image as a party that can run things. Republicans in city government tend not to be in big cities, they are more often in suburbs and small towns, which don't have the same kind of homeless problem, and thus don't have the same kinds of challenges projecting an image of being a safe, lawful community.

I'm sure it's a solvable problem for Democrats, but first they have to resolve to address it, rather than just wishing that voters didn't feel this way.
I used a service like this in the mid-90s in another country. I found it pretty cool at the time, I could choose what pizza I wanted with HTML forms and a fax was sent. The irony at the time however was, they recommended you called to check they got your order because the fax machine wasn't reliable?!
It's not so much "as a result of the DA's policies" in particular (although I don't doubt this contributes), but all over the country discretionary policing has fallen as a result of pressure from anti-policing activists on politicians and police departments. The result is that crime overall rises, but "lesser" crimes which are more likely to fall under the rubric of "discretionary" appear to fall because the police are effectively prohibited from looking for them. However, crimes which aren't discretionary such as homicides (in other words, police can't overlook homicides) are rising sharply. This has shown up in some of the "Ferguson effect" literature (and I suspect it will also show up in the "Minneapolis effect" literature once criminologists compile and process the data), but I don't have a link handy at the moment.
Microsoft doesn't make money from VS Code. Atom was retired due to a lack of activity with the project. I've never even seen anyone use Atom, since the time it was released 8 years ago.

One bank I have set up in a new country set me up with their mobile app and that mobile app is the only way to access the bank. They have a web-app, but login to the web app can only be authorized from mobile. At least an existing install can be used to authorize installs on new devices. Got it on 3 devices installed just in case.
From the article:
>> ...a program with more lines of code is better...

Immediately reminded me of Bill Gates' comment on how measuring progress on a designing and building a software project by using a Total_Lines_Of_Code metric is about as dumb as measuring progress on designing and building an airplane using a Total_Weight metric.

What you want in both is the least amount of code/material that will actually do the job, and being smarter than a simple "more is better"approach. Yet so many supposedly intelligent managers use such approaches...

For JS, I've used Selenium with a Chrome driver, then parsed the HTML with BeautifulSoup. I know nothing about web development, so this might be an outdated way, but it worked. BS was nice to deal with.
No, a bit more generally.

Recently someone was like "the browser is the simplest way to get a pixel drawn on the screen", this sort of thinking is what I meant here.
Same here. I've tried VSCode multiple times but still switched back to atom. Just FEELS RIGHT.

The fact is, I can't do my job very effectively with Visual Studio Code. That's why I throw it down in frustration and storm back to Emacs every time I try it. Emacs has features that allow me to pretend to be an organized, functional person on the job -- notably, Magit, org-mode, and always-on Lisp that helps me automate away the tedious unusual bits of our process. If you were to compel me to use Visual Studio Code, much of my effort which is today productive would be lost as waste heat.
I use both pycharm professional and vscode; vscode's remote is much better and it makes it way easier to work on projects that use multiple programming languages.

Also the default editor of the IDEA family is just unbearable (but there's the vim plugin for that, I guess), while Monaco is fine.

The only area where vscode is downright embarassing is interfacing with databases. In pycharm I can have a complete view of the database I'm connected to, run queries, get warnings and errors from inline SQL, and so on. Vscode has... strings?

If the remote capabilities get better, though, I'd admittedly have no reason to stay in the vscode camp.

When Epstein was originally convicted in Florida, it's pretty clear that Higher Powers intervened to get him:

* the ability to spend his days _in his home office_ instead of prison

* protection from having his victims present at his sentencing

> I don't recommend it for production only because it has been partially abandoned

Why do you say that?

Sure, there were some dramas around how the language/ecosystem should evolve and almost all external opinions are not considered. But again, you could argue that Elm is consistent because of this heavy handed approach to language design. I'm just wondering why you would consider it as `partially abandoned`.
It generally has bigger file sizes (uses PNG24 instead of PNG8), but OTOH it can handle gradient-full true-color images beyond what PNG8 can.

You can combine both: use pngquant with quality limit to get the best file size where possible, and pngloss as a fallback to still compress other types of images.
That looks fantastic. It also looks like you also have Pyright running in the browser. Is that right? I thought Pyright only supported running on NodeJS.

Oh, I do the same. Coding in vim and debugging in vscode. The GUI and mouse support is a better experience.
I've tried, but it's still a little immature for me. Definitely an interesting idea worth exploring more.

And the reason I went back to Emacs is because of elisp and M-x. Those are the true killer features of that editor, still unrivaled.
I still think of these inefficient things as being great multipliers of potential, even if wasteful.

FWIW: I'm probably one of the most "IT Conservative" people on this site, I still believe in sysadmins, dislike systemd, hate electron etc;

But there is something to be said about developer productivity: if you can build a prototype in 10 days when it would have taken 10 weeks that can be a huge differentiator between companies; it means you can make 6x more prototypes in the same time window, or work through different iterations of the same idea.

That's hugely beneficial.

I think if you treat inefficient things this way (I consider Ruby/Python in the same way) then we all benefit, test your ideas then go for gold on a more efficient platform.
If it was already notorious... what took them this long?
It's great that they're focusing on eliminating physical defects and it makes sense that an EE industry publication would focus on that topic, but I think improving the firmware engineering process (better testing, stricter software architecture standards, better fuzzing and simulation) is probably a higher priority in most automotive applications right now.
I cannot stand the "dancing" sidebar in VS Code. It's used for showing the directory tree, search results, plugins, etc. I like Jetbrain IDEs (at least on my machine they load and feel fast).
I have never once heard it suggested that "middle class white women" are kidnapped off the street and trafficked in any volume. I've only ever heard it spoken about in terms of (mostly adolescent/very young) homeless people, immigrants, prostitutes, etc. As you said, people who for the most part are not noticed when they go missing.
Poland uses more coal but Germany uses more gas. CO2 is CO2.

The chances that they will be there in time to catch the perpetrator as they're fleeing, or to take care of you as you are processing the event is larger.

But more importantly, they will feel less stressed knowing backup is nearby, they will have more time to process and investigate and take care of the victims.

As the saying goes, happy police, happy polis.
facism is far-right authoritarian ultra-nationalism

national-socialist are one movement which is fascist, they are by far not the only one. (Nazis are fascist with socialist paint coat).

The US never had (internally) a problem with nazis, I think. But it does have a problem with white supremacist. It also does have a problem with religious extremist, most times Christian based. Both of this groups have quite a bit of overlap and have often strong fascist tendencies.

And sure California might be one of the US states better of. Tbh. especially with the last statement I was more thinking about some other US states.

> Just for an additional perspective, for most of the world's democracies both the US republicans and democrats are very much on the right-wing side of the political spectrum.

I hear this a lot, but as someone who's fairly up on politics in a few Western European countries I don't think it's accurate.

For example, the current democratic party platform supports universal healthcare, mass immigration with a roadmap to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, expansion of visas and a removal of wealth/income requirements, a major commitment to environmental protection and an acknowledgement of climate change including getting to net-zero emissions and devoting tens of billions to foreign aid.

That's all pretty in-line with left wing political manifestos/platforms in most of western europe.

Ask HN: New job at BigCo. Everything has friction
Coming from smaller companies and startups just got a job at #BigCo in the Bay.

The one thing I'm noticing is that it's miserable to work here because EVERYTHING has friction and takes days to get done and has to go through numerous teams and approvals just for the simplest stuff like a new VM or an SSL cert from their own in house CA.

I get great satisfaction at work out of accomplishing things and this is just rediculous to the point of making me dislike working.

To get anything done is emotionally exhausting.

Anyone else dealt with this?

Anyone have any type of jobs where friction is minimal?
Nooooooo. I so much prefer Atom over VSCode. I've read the spin, but this smells like Microsoft finally doing what we all predicted - killing off the competing product.

I agree.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most projects started by some form of organization end up being dead after handing them off to the community. That is, unless they make their code from the ground up to be as most readable and modular as possible.

I remember many projects made by Sun Microsystems that just died when Oracle took over, even if the code is still there.
Ctl-Shift-P is used in VSCode as well as Sublime. And then, "Install Package"

If you use your text editor professionally, they more than worth the investment.

And if you want to build a text editor for your own needs, Emacs and Neovim are your friends.
I'm not saying that office work is a particularly productive form of work, but rather that there is some work product that gets done and it's difficult to increase the mental health aspects of office work without directly trading off on productivity.
Oh. I understand the healthcare system's systems are a shitshow. I've seen it first hand. FFS the staff isn't even aware of the importance of sleep (i.e., lights left on, TV left blasting).

But.

If they can identify the importance of hand sanitation and implement programs to ensure that, then there is hope. But as it is, it feels like the land of "that's how we've always done things."

Note: this isn't only hospitals but extended care facilities. They're printing money on the backs of the suffering and losses of others.

Seriously, who actually uses Atom anymore? Before VSCode was a thing, I used it but then I got into Vim, Neovim, and now VSCode with the Vim plugin.
