Select NYC, and then select 800kt, (best case scenario)

you are looking at 1.5 million dead instantaneously, and then probably another 3.5 million over the next week.

The only parts that "wouldn't be affected" are parts of Staten Island and the Rockaways.

It's horrifying
Lidl (germany supermarket company) backed STACKIT?

ECS is an absolute pain to work with and makes everything so much slower...until it clicks. In the past I've compared it to learning programming all over again.

The SQL reply summed it up quite nicely, basically you perform queries for anything with a class attached and then perform your operations on all of those. It sounds really inefficient, but in terms of raw performance the results usually speak for themselves.

A good example I encountered with Bevy, another Rust ECS framework, is imagine you want your camera to follow your player. Rather than having a script on your camera and a different one on your player, you could just attach a generic class to both, query through anything with that class and update the position of it based on the input.
> Maybe there are a ton of unqualified developers in SV playing Wordle instead of coding?

Maybe there are, I also have no idea. But in my experience most engineers are qualified and hard workers, even when there is team bloat. Companies are hiring well. It's just that they're hiring too much.

> The vast majority of software projects aren't managed by FAANG or Unicorn companies. The financial landscape in those companies is completely detached from reality and not a good basis for comparison.

But this happens on several industries, not only FAANG. Most companies that get off the ground with a skeleton crew will start hiring more as soon as they get more cash, doesn't have to be from investors. That's because they want more things faster. The reality is grimmer, though: 9 women can't make a baby in 1 month. And 9 women can't also make an adult-sized baby in 9 months.
The OP is careful and measured. This comment is the opposite.
If you count Russia to be European, which is debatable from both a cultural and a geographical perspective. Yandex only has one data center outside of Russia/definitely in Europe, and last I heard, they needed 600,000€ worth of diesel per day to keep it running.
So sunshine makes you hungry, but also cold makes you hungry. So a moderately warm but cloudy country should have very thin citizens, for example the UK...

oh wait
Shahrastani, whose book Kitab al milal wan nihal is sitting in front of me right now, had a lot of things to report about Buddhists, and not only that verdict. Have you read him? Furthermore, Biruni on this subject alone is notoriously unreliable, relying on secondhand sources.
I am totally on board with critical packages offering enhanced security to protect the user.

But, I am deeply disturbed about the fact that we've reached this point where "enhanced_security === 2FA" by default (which I hate with a passion), with no alternatives considered.

Google is a catalogue. There is no physical analogy that comes close.

Your point about wanting to read articles written for you by others is certainly possible. The very fact that such a desirable outcome drives you to Google and nowhere else should suggest the complexity of the problem they’re solving and how there isn’t really anything else out there doing so well.

>Ideally as few as possible should profit from this process.

Why?

When you accepted a job offer in the software industry, did you stipulate that your mission is to write code for your employer and you will be charging as little as possible for that privilege? Minimum wage should get you by just fine, right?

I hate fully grown adults behaving as though anyone except them making a profit is somehow evil.
Most projects will never *need* to scale horizontally.

Unfortunately, many will, due to FOMO and Resume Driven Development.

Someone actually tried doing that across various Linux desktop distros a while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/5kdq92/linux_distros...

Also there was another post on Reddit 2 years ago, where Ubuntu was used as the base OS: https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/kb0d87/i_compared_the...

Curiously, the average values for memory usage were pretty close, though more information about the methodology would be nice.
If Google were to prioritize authenticity of reviews they could reject reviews from users that cannot be tracked to the reviewed location for whatever reason. It's not that they are afraid of tracking users.

Might be more difficult for other platforms not maintaing full movement profiles of their users.
One is a business model, one is a crime and fraud.

I’d expect you to know the difference.
Perhaps you should read the article again and again and again.

Zelenskyy was Holomoisky's protege and if he was calling for better relations with Russia years ago then perhaps Zelenskyy's regime should have listened, rather than follow the path which has precipitated this invasion by Russia.
You could build the same spinning habitat in a hole in the ground, supported all around instead of balanced precariously on a stalk.
I don't see why Microsoft working to make an extremely locked-down class of devices should be taken as evidence that Microsoft isn't working to lock down devices, or that they wouldn't have an incentive to lock down devices.
But the war is still ongoing. That’s the regular army using guerilla tactics. If what happened in 2014 happens again (big if as Crimea had a very poor relationship with Ukraine while the rest had a slightly better one), Russia should hold.
I think it has to be intentional, but if not it’s still funny :)

My office had a policy of flexible home/work before Covid. The default attendance was at work, but working from home was possible at any time provided you worked out any issues which normally require your in person attendance.

This flexible policy is evidently very progressive. How many people could say that was the case before Covid?

Today managers have answers to the unknown factors: employee home office setup, employee competence for maintaining their home computer, and de facto productivity.

I don’t see how we ever go back.
> To be fair, Europe as a whole is 20-30 years behind on most fronts from the state of the art of information technology.

This is a gross, unjustified generalization. Sure, there's a lot of old crap around, but that's no different from other parts of the world; but there's also lots of new, modern stuff, with a huge diversity across the continent.

Just to give a common counterexample, the SEPA system allows me to trivially transmit money to anyone in the eurozone, for a considerable portion of them (including everyone in my country) in seconds, completely free of charge and involvement of any third party except my and their bank. Cash App, Venmo and comparable services basically don't exist in the EU, because the governments stimulated and mandated large scale interoperable digital infrastructure.
Maybe a good place to ask, does anyone have any recommendations for game dev frameworks? Preferably something performant, stable and not too much of a pain to work with.

Been using Godot for a year or two and loving it, but I do want to try out the code only workflow, I feel like it'd suit me better being freed of the constraints of an engine, but I'd at very least like to try so I can be sure.

I tried Bevy before and it was fantastic, but its just not production ready. Also tried Raylib, the main problem with that being the sheer number of bindings somewhat segments the community and makes it harder to figure out how to start off with, but it might be worth another go. Might also consider going without a framework and just finding libraries to fill in what I need, but that might not play nice with "not too much of a pain to work with"
Memset is based in the UK. Used them a few years back, but I'm afraid we moved to AWS after a few too many reliability issues.
You say it like it's something bad. Or are you for the abolishment of the FDA?
I understand where he is coming from. I desperately wish I had back the dozens of weekends I spent customizing tools like Notion (or Obsidian or Roam or Omnifocus or Things or...). At one point, I convinced myself, "I can do this better" and spent a few months hacking together my own tools that were infinitely worse than the worst of the commercially available software.

Then there are the rabid communities, YouTube channels, and cohort-based courses that make you spend hundreds of hours learning how to "be productive" in these tools.

I call this "fidgety work":

"fidgety work (n): 1. spending inordinate amounts of time researching, designing, and tweaking tools & systems with the expectation that time spent on 'productivity hacking' is an investment in future better and faster work; 2. procrastination

Real Work > fidgety work"

That said, there is probably an 80/20 argument here -- there are probably a handful of tips and optimizations that get you virtuosic with a given app. After that, it's all diminishing returns.

Terrible light pollution where I stay - hopefully one day I'll be able to retire to a place more conducive to stargazing.
Well compare and contrast with turn-based strategy games like Civilisation - I don't think the S is the value proposition per se. I think the combination of RT + S is what drives people to the genre. There are plenty of excellent turn-based strategy games where time pressure is effectively removed, and only the planning component is important.

I'd recommend turn-based strategy for anyone who is not particularly interested in the execution part.
You mean everything fall left* and do a big mess on the wall, right? Frames of reference are fun. We also have a force pulling us sideways on Earth since it's rotating but without doing the math, it's probably a lot lower than 1/6 g, indeed.

Those were originally part of the GaaP (Government as a Platform) programme. The PaaS is explicitly just the Cloud Foundry-based deployment platform.
That's not what the person they replied to said though. Providing the means to harden a device do not mean you can't boot non-MS operating systems. It does show intent to harden devices yes, but not what was replied to.
> In addition, according to Carl Hansen, a flight systems engineer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (the science operations center for JWST), a comparable X-band antenna would be so large that the spacecraft would have trouble remaining steady for imaging.

Why would a large antenna make the spacecraft less steady? What's the mechanism behind it?
last.fm had my favorite auto-recommendation system, but it seems like they removed the personal and artist radio features.
Holy sweet jesus I hate it when Jordan Peterson is right. They're going to police language and make us use words we wouldn't normally pick.
According to Shahrastani some Muslims had pretty positive views of Vedas. Moreover Dara Shikoh famously considered Upanishads the “guarded tablet” mentioned in Quran 85:22
The way I was taught, suttas/sutras were treated as interesting historical documents, and sometimes as useful aids to understanding. They were not considered to be "gospel" truth, because they are not associated with a practice lineage. That is, there is only a text; there is no handing-down of a lived experience from teacher to practitioner.

My teachers favoured more "modern" texts, such as Asanga's works, and the Prajnaparamita literature. They have practice lineages that can be traced back to their authors. Statements from the sutras/suttas were met with remarks of the form "Very interesting; it may be true, or it may be not true".
actually it's closer than you might think. If you consider the eye and visual cortex to be the first layers of a deep learning network, we are actually getting a relatively similar system. However it has limitations further down the line in information representation stuff. The eye is genetically programmed to detect lines, hard edges, colours, and more complex patterns. This is exactly the same as the first layers of a neural net.

However we then humanly assemble stuff like cat = eyes+fur+pointy+cute+small+meowing. A neural net has no way yet to represent information at that level, but we are getting closer there than going beyond dumb numbers. A neural net has implicitly the concept, but is not yet doing the 3d representation inside itself, which makes it harder to define something like 'ears' and 'tail'
>The big cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP and others) have upped their game

So now UK citizens are going to be forced to use services from a country known for largely non-working legal system (where being provably innocent is not enough to call off execution, see Scalia; where a monetary fine is an adequate sentence for premeditated murder, see OG Simpson, not to mention de facto legal immunity for cops committing crimes on duty) and for droning random civilians with impunity (see Hague Invasion Act).
> Because an increasing amount of PC's have Secure Boot enabled and few attacks really are conducted by a "really determined attacker".

But these few attacks are the only ones against which "secure boot" might help, and it probably doesn't. Bootloader attacks were extremely rare to nonexistent even before "secure boot".
Does your use of “self-made" have any concrete definition?

I looked on the related website and the very first blog entry is about how you can teach your children the skills they identify as leading to wealth.

And yet, it appears that the claim is that, in general, people don't get taught these skills, and some people discover them through sheer grit and determination. Which seems contradictory.

And that's putting aside the weird concept where someone who earns 10 million and spends 9 million on stuff, is ranked as the same as someone who lives a meagre life and dies with 1 million in the bank. I'm not sure that concept translates well into the commonly accepted definition of millionaire.
Healthy.io receives landmark FDA clearance for smartphone-powered kidney test
I think the key point is that it becomes "appropriation"--vs cultural mixing or exchange--when the ideas are removed of their source context and used in a way that is contrary or even disrespectful of their original intent.

I'm far from an expert, but it seems like a reasonable argument to advance that the linkage of Buddhist practices with corporate and material advancement--and the removal of spiritual or ethical content--is "appropriation", and not merely respectful mixing.
It is an awful situation. Sending money only perpetuates it though further enabling the real brains behind it to commit more egregious crimes. At some point, lesser evil is to say no.

Why do you think the army will disappear if kyiv gets captured? its clear from the start of the war that they where planning for an insurgency.

The only thing that happens if they lost is the army takes off their uniforms and the molotovs come out.

You are deluded.

To quickly reply to you (at that point a long answer would be a waste of my time), sanctions didn’t meaningfully impact Russia revenue which raised with gaz and oil prices. China is actually importing things from Russia. Ukraine has no chance of retaking Crimea - which doesn’t want to be retaken anyway - and is currently losing territories, infrastructures and seeing a very real erosion of its available manpower not winning them. Negotiations have to be made by Ukraine obviously but allies have a lot of sway there. Ukraine couldn’t wage this war without the support of NATO countries and these countries are first and foremost serving their own interests as usual.

I think the answer lies in your question. We have not observed such behavior (conscious dietary preferences), but that says nothing of capability.

Opting out of meat is only really possible for us because of farming. Other species lack the physical capabilities to farm as we do. Nor can they communicate to us the depth of their cognitive capabilities.

Rejecting human exceptionalism is not the same as saying we are indistinguishable from non-human animals (which would be absurd to argue), rather that our distinctions do not make us inherently more worthy.

I don't get it, are they saying that public organizations should move to using AWS/Azure/GCP?
One thing.

The system can auto correct.

For example, one person claims that such a vulnerability means that the insurance company won't pay, for it leaves no smashed windows if you are robbed.

However, all it takes is one person going to court, publicizing it enough, and winning against the insurance company.

What happens? The insurance company, naturally, starts to increase rates for owners of that brand of car.

It has to pay out more often, for that car has a weakness, and this is the result.

This has happened before, with cars that didn't have physical steering wheel ignition locks, back in the 80s.

The result? Sales dropped for those cars, no one wants to pay 50% more for insurance, and manufacturers quickly worked to fix the issue.

It's a sad thing though, to see a relentless stare at the daily, short term bottom line, without thought to other factors, and long term profit.

Way to drive away customers, and crash a reputation! Brands to steer clear of, to be sure!

Nobody you talk to bats an eye. You can’t know if places/hiring managers passed at an earlier stage.

5 jobs in 5 years is a red flag for some. 5 in 5 years plus a single 4-year long stint where you earned a promotion is a much better story IMO, but every hiring manager is different and plenty make the change every 12-18 months work for them.
Personally, I don't see the a big problem. When you buy a computer with Microsoft Windows pre-installed by the OEM, it's not unreasonable to expect the platform to be configured by the OEM to only trust that pre-installed operating system. If the end user decides to install another operating system, it should also their responsibility to reconfigure the system with the appropriate keys to trust the operating system they are installing.

That's a feature. The UK can ask the US to request data to AWS about UK citizens without breaking any law about spying on UK citizens. Now they can filter all citizens that ticked "muslim" or "arab" in one of the many gov forms, cross reference with fb/twitter/insta for signs of extremism and flag them as suspicious individuals.
That's great for those developers but you can't expect everyone to act the same way. The fact is that you have not right for ANY support - there is even a disclaimer for that in pretty much every open source license.

Yes, but if you actually try to download the collection (link right above that text), you are presented with a form to pay CHF 300 for this data.

Now I am not a copyright lawyer but this is how I understand it: this entire database is a copyrighted work owned by ISO. If you pay them CHF 300 you can download the database and then use use it freely. But when you gather that entire dataset (transformed or not) back to a full database format, it is still a derived work - the copyright of which is owned by ISO.

This is of course completely hair splitting as you will not see ISO coming after anyone spreading the database in any format (it would be a PR disaster). But if you asked the opinion of a corporate lawyer, they might say you technically need to pay ISO before you can use a copy of the entire database in your app. And I bet that's why they have the form to pay the CHF 300 if someone somewhere has a compliance department telling them to be 100% sure they are not breaching any copyrights..

Maybe someone who actually knows anything about copyright law can comment..

EDIT: The situation is indeed unclear as I predicted, probably on purpose. See here https://datahub.io/core/country-list#license :

> It should be noted that this material is ultimately sourced from ISO and their rights and licensing policy is somewhat unclear. As this is a short, simple database of facts there is a strong argument that no rights can subsist in this collection. However, ISO state on their site:

>> ISO makes the list of alpha-2 country codes available for internal use and non-commercial purposes free of charge.

> This carries the implication (though not spelled out) that other uses are not permitted and that, therefore, there may be rights preventing further general use and reuse.

Likewise, if ISO says they allow "free-of-charge use" of the database, it implies their permission and allowance is required to use it in the first place. This implies that if you embed the database to your app, it contains proprietary material by ISO. This limits your rights for example re-licensing it, as you can not re-license without consent from ISO, the copyright holder.

Again - this is only a theoretical problem, yet the ambiguity is rather annoying to a pedant.

I've worked with a number of northeastern university grads, and they are consistently well prepared. NEU has co-op program, a standard part of their undergrad, where they get like a year of experience before graduating (5-year undergrad is the norm). who knows if the school is what creates the difference, but grads are really well prepared in general.
