Hold on, let us be more precise than the Western propaganda wants it to be.

1) Russians have money

2) Russians signaled that they want to pay

3) Again, Western sanctions are hitting against the own people, Russia cannot pay because the West excluded them from the payment mechanism

4) Russia has set up its own payment mechanism and is ready to fulfill the payment obligation fully in Rubels

5) The risk for all Western people is now to claim that money as financial trades with/in Russia are illegal now and they will face punishment by the West

Just a sad story. My wood pallets supplier here in Germany went bancrupt a few days ago as the product was coming from Russia and is sanctioned now. The house (with 35 units) is already 6 days without hot water. The company that manages the building got an alternative: delivery in 2 weeks, price +200%.

This is not my war, I oppose those sanctions. I have the feeling that the G7 reaction is wrong and I disagree with it. I am SO CLOSE before going on the street for the first time in my life. I FULLY disagree with all the current Western anti-Russian politics.
I am responding to someone whom I presume to be pro-choice and am trying to see if a compromise is even possible. The most common counter argument to "the baby has the right to life" is that the mothers life takes priority. The situation where the mother's life is in danger (also including rape and incest) is in the minority of cases (citation needed), therefore the majority of abortions could be prevented if conservatives would concede those scenarios.
I'm rarely shocked by the ingredients of food anymore, but I was looking at a packet of "honey sauce" from KFC the other day, and couldn't help but laugh at the things we're doing to ourselves. There are 11 ingredients and 5 of them are added sugar. All to recreate something resembling honey, at approximately 2/3 the cost of real honey.

"High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Sugar, Honey (7%), Fructose, Contains 2% or Less of: Caramel Color, Molasses, Water, Citric Acid, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Malic Acid."

That is sugar, sugar, sugar, honey, sugar, color, sugar, water, acid, flavorant, acid. The lengths they've gone to save a literal penny are staggering.

I may have misinterpreted you comment.

When someone wrote “Going by popularity, 1-based indexing is the established convention” and you replied “Yes, but not so much in scientific computing” I understood that as “1-based indexing is less used in scientific computing compared to general computing”.

I think “survive in this environment” is meant to reflect the fact that human beings could not exist for nontrivial periods in the Nevada Desert.

Native American tribes lived in the Nevada dessert for at least a thousand years. The Southern Paiute lived in the Las Vegas area.

Right?! When did it go away? When exactly did it come back?

I have met real people in real life that think racism ended around the ‘08 election and stayed away until a speech by a candidate in June of ‘15. I would not presume to know what the GP’s experience is though.
That’s why you use a credit card. Just have the bank issue a chargeback.

That said, I agree that AliExpress is way more stingy with refunds compared to eBay/Amazon. One time it took me 4 months to get a package that would normally be delivered in 10 days to the US. Any normal website would have just issued a refund after 30 days. Still, AliExpress is incredibly cheap and I’ve bought a ton of assembled PCBs from them that are either impossible to find elsewhere or only available with a 10x markup.

I specifically adore Richard _because_ he's a good Christian man (and I say this as a non-Christian) and a great engineer.

I'm happy that he's found a way to integrate his values into his products. Richard is not enforcing his beliefs on anyone; moreover the values espoused in the Code seem fair to any reasonable mind. It asks us to do good, and calls for good human/humane values whatever your religion or ideology or spirituality. How can that be wrong?

Often times these days in tech it's all about progress, liberal ideologies, and there's no sense of values or ethics rooted in anything but money. SQLite's code of ethics is a refreshing change.

SQLite itself is also an amazing piece of engineering, that I use daily and can't express enough thanks to him for.

P/S: I love your podcast! Have heard so many great episodes that changed my mind.
> Oh, well then you are talking perhaps using a newtype to wrap another type and perhaps use deriving to get behaviors from underlying type automatically.

Deriving sort of does what delegation does, but in a very limited way, and even when it does work you can't use it for user-defined typeclasses, so it's not a solution to the problem except in a handful of special cases.

> Or with a record you just explicitly implement typeclass methods in reference to the contained data.

The whole point of a delegation feature is that you don't have to do this explicitly for each method.
A benefit of Type B is that it can host a 2230 M.2 adapter. You can take out a laptop SSD and put into a camera, almost like we all did in 200s with iPod mini and dSLR back then.
I'd wait 6 months before I call it stupidity.

Winter is coming and Germany doesn't have enough energy to keep people from freezing to death. What does it matter that Russia would collapse in 5 years under sanctions if Europe does so in 6 months?
I would suggest, instead, you are conflating "sentience" with "sapience".
>high protein intake from beans and tofu and a lot of vegetables+seeds

Saying "high" protein implies that the protein:carb and/or protein:fat ratio is high. Beans have a much higher carb to protein ratio and tofu/seeds have high fat to protein ratios. It is close to impossible to eat a high protein diet that is vegan. The only way to do so requires large quantities of highly processed foods (saitan, etc...)
I think the variable here isn't year, but where you work(ed).
So Russia should be able to invade anyone they want without repercussions? We obviously don't want a direct war between Russia and NATO/EU countries, so economic sanctions are pretty much the only tool left.
I remember going to a Microsoft conference in 1996. Talked with quite a few C++ developers - everyone aged under 50 or so was super excited about Java. At the time a program that could do something over the Internet was 20 or 30 lines of Java and a few hundred lines of C++.
A24 (the production house behind "Everything, everywhere, all at Once") is one of the few shining lights as far as movie production goes these days.
That is in a sense true. If you don't have any money to begin with, you don't have much to lose by getting sued and there is not much incentive for anyone to bother.

Personally I think it's better for everyone that the police are not usually involved in the enforcement of IP law. A lot of corporations would love the state (aka taxpayers) to pick up more of the tab for keeping mickey mouse out of the hands of the public.

The flip side of what the parent is asking for (the police treat "theft of ideas" like criminal theft, without even any registration of the IP!) would very likely result in clogged courts and mass incarceration of downloaders.

(Admittedly this ridiculous hypothetical would also require that police have time and resource to treat theft of property seriously, which is not true in many places and considered no big deal given that you would most likely not be compensated for your losses except by insurance in any case).

This is very wrong. Each grain of sand is interchangeable for a start, and you can change the sandcastle in an infinite number of ways that would be imperceptible to an onlooker. Same with the puzzle example.
Don't like most "progress people," don't like most philosophy, don't like most self help.

If you have "it" figured out, why is that not enough? All I can see are ulterior motives: a desperate need to feel seen or remembered or virtuous or important, something to sell, an attempt to elevate one's status, etc.

One metric you could use is lines of dialogue. Here's a Reddit thread which gets into this with Mad Max Fury Road.

Are you keeping a diary of what is going through your mind? I'm not so sure about any of the things you mentioned.

He has gained significant territory in Ukraine in less than half a year which is not slow unless you expected he would concur the largest country in Europe in a week (in which case watch less Hollywood movies). The different NATO invasions all around the world are multi year projects, but Putin is delusional?
Afghanistan was what, 20 years?

And what about the economic ruin? Who ran out of baby formula? Don't the whole Europe and US had record breaking inflation of forty some years? And we are running to Venezuela, Saudi Arabia (the good guys this month) to get oil, and somehow we (the West) are winning? And may I remind you, "winter is coming" and half of Europe's heating runs normally on Russian gas.

I wish I had your unshakable trust in how good the West is doing in this conflict.

I recall apocalypse now being extremely popular at the time of its release. Maybe that was just my social circle?
Yeah. I was wondering how easy it would be to classify using a language model/models. ALthough I don't know how it'd work with binary blobs, multiple languages, etc.

I think certain things would be picked up pretty easily e.g. obfuscated code would be a pretty loud feature, but subtle stuff might be undetected and generally I can't see the model being super accurate.
I think it's more a case of a person going to bank to pay off their debt and offering them gold instead of dollars which the bank refuses.

But all of the gold buyers don't want to deal with you because you're a criminal.
Right, and this is a good thing. We can't let them think they can get away with invading Europe just because they can afford their debts.

Power doesn't come only in the form of tanks.
Considering that keeping pigeons from nesting in buildings and structures is an industry in itself in many cities, I find it very easy to believe a tower made for the purpose will attract then!
This isn’t a terribly comforting example, as the former states of the USSR have been fighting a slow-motion civil war since 1991, of which the Russian invasion of Ukraine is simply the latest chapter. See also Chechnya, Georgia, Nagorno-Karabakh, etc.

I suspect a serious political divorce in the US, and the bad blood engendered, would inevitably lead to a similar outcome.
> "is this just programmed to be agreeable so predicting things that sound like what I probably want to hear given what I'm saying" vs "is this truly a being..."

You're still falling on the notion of "real" vs "fake" beings. Humans are programmed to do things due to intuition and social conventions. What if being programmed does not preclude "a true being"? Of course, for that we'd need to define "a true being", which we're hopelessly far from.
> "there are no winning formulas"

Except the one they list: "Julie used five actions... Disarm;
Appreciate; Fuse opposites; Appeal to values; Develop a growth partnership."

The article is not making the same point I did. It prompted discussion, which probably means there's nothing wrong with the article other than I disagree with its theories.

"Good leadership" is endlessly debatable. On one hand, a good leader might say "I love the smell of napalm in the morning". A different leader might expresses remorse and healing/strength for the troops who are witnessing the same event.

Like many around here, I've seen and participated in enough interactions in the workplace to have a good gut for what works, what is a waste of time, what is counterproductive. A leader who always smiles and even delivers bad news with a smile, for example, I would say is not a good leader. But someone else might argue the opposite, and insist that remaining positive is some kind of magic key.

I actually like the "rubbish" comment by the co-author. Cutting through the bullshit is a skill. We've been told the remark was because the man was "temperamental". That's hearsay. Perhaps the "it's rubbish" comment was ultimately more responsible for the good outcome than the 5-point action reply. We have no insight into the specific working relationship between these individuals to make conclusions.
Made me think of this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNN_(Dutch_broadcaster)
I personally preferred Zalando for the following reasons (this is from quite early on, when Zalando and Crunchy were the only options and differed more in approach):

- Focus on CRDs versus outside tools (crunchy used to insist on pgo and while it's not required, I don't really want another CLI to manage/use)

- Amount of open conversation, conference talks etc around Zalando's solution and why they've built their solution/how they've scaled it

- No specific need for pgadmin/badger/extra logging features (I might feel differently these days!)

- Customizable pods

These days both of these projects are very similar overall, and I haven't compared them recently.

Looking back at my notes I had this written down:

> Looks like Zalando is probably the winner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBdNVrffOSo)

The video is old and in Japanese but basically:

- scale in/out are similar

- RBAC control is similar

- Automatic version upgrades (only Zalando supported rolling update at the time)

- Zalando had PVC-driven volume resize vs Crunchy required cluster change

It's been a year so maybe they're probably even more similar now but I'd love to hear what I'm missing if I'm wrong.

Some more resources:

These days I might lean Crunchy -- but a lot of the things that would be gaps (like no built in postgres support) I would actually opt to solve myself with a different operator (ex. Prometheus Operator) or just adding a deployment myself (when needed). Taking another quick look today, the differences I see are:

- customizable tablespaces with Crunchy

- local backups with pgbackrest + crunchy (and in general wal-g is preferred to wal-e so zalando is a little behind there)

Neither of them have citus though, which I think will be a huge game changer as a default-include for their pg images.
Start with The Crying of Lot 49, which is dense-ish but short, then Bleeding Edge, which is longer but closer to the storyline of a traditional novelist, and is semi-sci-fi.

I then proceeded to Inherent Vice (because of the movie) and then Vineland. Vineland was difficult and heavy in parts, but I enjoyed it overall (the whole chapter on how the protagonist describes the receiving of a business card feels like some kind of fever dream). I own Gravity's Rainbow, but haven't yet had the courage to open to page 1.

Post in /r/lockdownskepticism or pretty much any of the subs questioning the covid19 narrative and the same thing happens. Like 50 subs.

Getting banned from the covid-19 subs is also frighteningly easy as well. Any question about vaccine effectiveness or questioning “face coverings” and you’ll either get buried, comment removed, or banned outright.
Explicit (await) vs. implicit (anything that uses patched I/O deep down) switch. Essentially, it makes the reasoning about the code almost as hard as with preemptive threading.
I wanted to buy a Sony phone direct from Amazon. I specifically bought "Shipped and Sold by Amazon" three times and had to return it three times because they kept sending me another seller's commingled inventory. It was obvious because the box had the third party seller's sticker on it and it was a Hong Kong model phone which would not work properly in the USA.
> willing to sell those parts to Russia

Not sure about this, it's not about will, it's about not being thrown in a sanction package youself.
> Who would trust this bank in the future?

the trust would have already been eroded in some parts from financial sanctions of this magnitude.

This is why using financial system as a weapon of politics (or war) is fraught with danger. Sure, for this situation, it might be the best option short of a shooting war, but countries that currently rely on the US financial system would be smart to think of strategies to diversify themselves. This diversification will take away financial prowess from the US, and remove some of that wealth associated with such prowess.
I've just been emotionally effected by this work at a deep, almost uncomfortable level.

I've worked as a mental health support worker, and this short story poked at some of the darker parts of the field: the dream of people getting "better" and wanting to "fix" them, the subtle (and not so subtle) jokes made out of their failings, having to deal with the basic human urges they don't fully understand, subjects consenting to treatment they don't have the capacity to understand, etc.

In myself, I see my own inevitable cycle of depression and elation. I'm disabled not mentally, but emotionally. I could be happier than anyone, but in the end some part of me is always dragged back into anguish. Charlie was a genius, but in his infantile state it's brought him nothing but pain.

The saddest part of all of this is that even when Charlie became smart enough to understand the world around him, he spent so little time in the relatable range of intelligence that the people he cared about struggled to communicate with him. They didn't understand, they were worried. Charlie never truly had a friend. Ms Kinnian cared for him, but they spent so little time able to meaningfully interact that friendship didn't have the chance to properly form.

I'm going to go and pet my dog, I think, until this reaction passes.
Does every human activity need to be productive? Why would you care what others think about your hobbies?
Russia should be punished in the same way Europe has punished the US for its aggressive invasions.

Anyway, I will protest against this if the government cannot fix it asap. My friends have voiced similar opinions.

And your point is wrong. We ARE already in a direct war with Russia. And it was our decision.
Ok then, entry level on Apple's scale. The i9 MBP's were the previous generation of "top of the line" CPU's offered, and the M1 is the "bottom of the line". An i9 MBP would start at around $3500-4000AUD whereas you can get an M1 Air for ~$1100AUD.

If I was to pay the same for an Apple Silicone MBP as I did for a previous gen i9, I would be getting an M1 Max which absolutely demolishes laptop i9's and has none of the thermal issues.
a) He has gained significant territory at huge expense. And the gains are almost certainly temporary since unless Russia mobilises their reserves etc. they won't have the manpower to hold such vast swathes of land.

b) Baby formula issue had nothing to do with Russia, was a US only issue and was quickly resolved with Australia companies brought in to backfill supplies.

c) Inflation is partly to do with Ukraine but far more to do with the post-COVID rebound where interest rates were low and central banks were behind the curve and too slow to react.

d) You can't really call this a East versus West situation when countries like Japan have imposed strong measures and both India/China being very opportunistic in buying oil etc but not willing to really stick their neck out to support Russia.

I don't know why a technology company needs a "code of conduct" or "ethics". The management embodies the ethics they desire to display and enforce. Has the institutional hierarchy lost the ability to govern and persuade their employees? Posting it for PR reasons is too close to virtue signalling.

Having a code of conduct and explicitly informing the world that you are Catholic and run the place in a Catholic manner, can be divisive. Not because Catholicism is a Big Bad™ or whatever current scandal, blah blah.

Because Catholics have a very distinct management style that excludes free flowing ideas and a two-way relationship with management, and focuses on nailing down perfect form. Sometimes it produces great results, other times not so much.

When it doesn't, it can be even more difficult to offer an alternative method, because of a strict CoC. For employees, the rules are sometimes used by management as an unintentional denial of different solutions.

People who know how this management style impacts their work life, may avoid the company. The internal environment becomes over-specialized towards one particular way of thinking and enacting technological change. Which is probably fine for SQLite to forever be the same as it was, which is all most people want out of the project anyway.

As a general trend though, it's concerning that otherwise solid companies are closing the front door to new ideas and opening the window so the non-CoC thinking can fly away.

The relationship everyone wants in the corporate world, is with the most skilled people at the best price. It doesn't necessarily correlate with perfect form or political CoCs.
First think ever to happen that make you mad enough to protest is sanctions on nation that violently attack their neighbor?

I very much hope you will feel same pain as people of Ukraine do right now, because people like you never understand anything they did not feel themselves.
