Finland joining NATO is absolutely threatening to Russia. Not far from the border, alongside it, is the only railway to Murmansk and the Kola peninsula, which is of prime importance to Russia.

Scaring Finland into joining NATO after their long held policy of neutrality was an incredibly counterproductive strategy for Moscow.

As said above, all nations sorrounding Russia that have joined NATO, have done so because they were and are afraid of Russia.

> The experts can't be the ones to decide

a minority of laymen who started with a conclusion and have yet to make a convincing case for it to either the experts OR the majority of americans, can't be the ones to decide, for the same reason we can't have them decide if a shooting is justified.

not sure why people qualified to do so, like public health experts and the politicians briefed by them who the people elected, can't be, though.

China lifted billions of people out of poverty. India has been improving as well in that front. That means billions of people will go to bed without an empty stomach and wake up with much more hope than in the previous decades.

The world order is changing rapidly and moving towards a multi-polar world. That means the US and the west cannot impose their will on countries that doesn't suit their interests.
Regime change operations and other tactics used by the US will be much costly in the coming decades because there will be other powers to counter that.

That means millions of people will live peacefully with less violence. Without their life disrupted suddenly because someone thousands of kilometers away decided to change things over in their country.

However, there is looming threat to this prospect, how the US will handle it's internal politics. The more failed it becomes internally the more external power projection will be needed to maintain it's dominance. Most of the troubles happening around the world right now can be traced back to the US efforts to contain China's growth.
If you look at holistically, this shouldn't be this way, if the US spent most of the defense budget in public education and health care, it doesn't need to worry about China. It can keep it's dominance while there is a wealthier China existing on the other side.

However, as history has repeatedly shown, the pendulum always swings back. Empires crumples and new powers replaces it.

There is a glorious future awaits for those living in China, India and other rapidly developing countries.

Brazil has some experience with people being nasty to machines.

1. Robotic bank tellers (atm): we had a huge crime wave where people would literally blow them up to steal contents. It got so violent that some places refused to have one nearby, some explosions demolished buildings, and gun battles sometimes happened, one of them even involved people using anti-material sniper rifles and left the surroundings completely demolished and several corpses destroyed in gory ways (like people cut in half by bullets)

2. Only places where you can play arcade games are very secure (like airports), I asked a manufacturer about it, and he said any arcade game in a bar for example invariably get destroyed as people steal its components (chips, cables, etc... people steal the valuable silicon parts for sale, and the metallic ones like cables and connectors to melt down)

The problem with theistic societies is that they make absolutely no sense to an atheist. Surely you're not advocating for atheists to pretend to be theists to push their political views?

I was surprised this isn't the most popular answer. IMO programming a complicated game such as a roguelike can get you a very well-rounded knowledge of a language.

But what makes RLs absolutely ideal for learning a language is that you will get your first version running with an extremely minimal amount of code (and no other resources), and you build up from there. It's very strongly motivating.
Maybe put the engineering discussion aside for a moment and think about the developments in economics and capitalism at the same time?

You can't trivially extend structs in a kernel ABI (to be fair this is worse in Linux as there is more than one libc and many programs do raw syscalls bypassing the libc anyway -- though it can still be done[1]) but string APIs are simpler to use and upgrade. They can also be far more ergonomic in some cases.

The core issue is that userspace programs and libraries can be compiled using structs with the old size (in theory the libc can abstract this using symbol versioning but then the same issue lies within the libc) causing out-of-bounds memory accesses when the kernel tries to access the struct fields. There's also forwards-compatibility issues but bad memory accesses are marginally worse.

I don't think the argument that "we have a lot of records of this behavior so it was normal" is persuasive, for the reason that our records aren't an even slice of history. We have much much more record of what rich people did and were affected by, and much less about everyone else.

It may have been, probably was, normal for wealthy people to subject themselves to this sort of treatment. But I think the majority of people would have seen a local barber, midwife, or healer, who had different traditions that may not have been more effective but seemed to have generally favored less invasive interventions. The majority of people probably just sat at home and hoped for the best, which likely had better outcomes than what the rich were paying doctors to do to them.
How are these people in Reddit getting textbooks for free?
So I did a sting operation in reddit. Just google "textbook piracy reddit" and see all the subreddits where people are requesting ebooks.

I used to think they download from libgen and sell here for cheap. So I created a fake request and tried to trap some. Turns out THEY HAD THE BOOK THAT I ASKED FOR.

Even more surprising thing was the book I was asking them was indian books.

1) Even if their university had access to ebooks, having indian ebooks is the least likely thing. (Indian I mean written by Indians not in hindi, related to engineering and cs).

2) I then tried IRC chats, to check if the book they got was from there. NOPE.

3) It wasn't ofc from libgen/b-ookzz or whatever it is.

4) Not from google search obviously.

https://www.kopykitab.com/System-Simulation-Modelling-And-Languages-by-R-Panneerselvam-P-Senthilkumar

they had these 2 ebooks but not this one

https://www.amazon.in/Modeling-Simulation-Electrical-Engineering-Electronics/dp/082477812X/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1657892419&refinements=p_27%3ANaim+A.+Kheir&s=books&sr=1-2

I am quite surprised what's the logic here. I am damn sure they're not paying (i.e refunding). The reason is one of them gave the book for me for free. So it suggests that they've the book already with themselves when they told me "I've the book" they had the pdfs. (If they were refunding from amazon, they'd at least get cash from me and refund from amazon).

So, what's the catch here? From where are they bringing ebooks that I don't know about?

I personally always buy physical books but the problem is I'm from Nepal and there are like 1 indian authored books physical(Our courses are designed according to indian authored textbooks so I prefer them for studying for exams, for learning I prefer American authors)..They say they'll bring us the book we request, but that'll take 2 months LOL. 1 semester is around 3 months and it's not 100% sure if they bring because I've not tried them yet, and Nepalese people are pretty corrupted so unless I give them some money under the table, they won't do it.

So I need these piracy ebooks. Our teachers are also pretty shitty(as everyone who knows shit and graduates from nepal moves to USA). can anyone tell me how are these people geting these ebooks. When I asked them, they told "I can't tell you for some reason". I guess that they're hacking some system/abusing some system, but I'm not sure what they're abusing.
As someone who loves Elixir, but is bad at it, which books are you referring to? I will buy them instantly.

Social Media and Regulation
Hello,

It has come to my attention recently that social media popularity is rising, but so are the risks. Because of this, the government has released an updated version of the online safety bill, where only the UK and US has one. I am interested your social media habits and regulation opinion for my dissertation. If you would like to give your opinion, please take my survey.

Totally separate QA between process and tools in that world. It was a heck of an interesting adjustment when I moved to aviation. Far less QA on process and far more on tools/FOD.
Yet it used to be possible to buy a house and support a family with children on a single income, and now you would struggle to do it on two incomes. That does not sound like a big success for the economy to me.

Perhaps a reason to be optimistic is that this trend will reverse, but it is hard to see a road to that. In the medium term, we are looking at a large population of retirees to be supported by a dwindling working population, that are also faced with servicing a massive debt that the older generation accumulated; at the same time faced by a rising challenger nation. That sounds like it could be dreadful, actually.
Oh, that's sad :-(

For what it's worth, my search engine got prematurely "announced" for me on HN as well, while likewise hilariously janky. I don't think the launch is the end of the world. (I guess I had the benefit of serving comically bizarre results when the queries failed, so it got some love for that)

The bigger struggle is, because a search box is so ambiguous, people tend to have very high expectations for what it can do. Many people just assume it's exactly like Google. It's something a lot of indie search engine developers struggle with. Even if your tool is (or potentially could be) very useful, how can you make people understand how to use it when it looks like something else? Design wise it's a real tough nut to crack, a capital H Hard UX problem.

You can get a responsive interface ready to go pretty fast and it does scale if you know how to design DB schemas, you can also go pretty wild with the custom APIs to integrate more traditional functions.

By default you've always got a staging and prod environment.

Higher tier plan do enable rollback to previous deployments [Up to a year I believe].

If you're looking to test out an idea or MVP then it's a great tool to get it in users hands, and it does scale.

Avoiding unworkable complexity really comes down to the developer / team you choose and their ability to develop the project with a structured approach.
you forgot to answer: which such analysis, conducted by who, concluded with the following quote: "the response ... trampled on the freedoms and rights of our modern society" ?

at least you're being honest about the "analysis afterward" actually meaning "I announce my opinions as 1 person of hundreds of millions and am unable to defend it to the others"

Except they currently don't talk to the grid. And the question to ask is does that efficiency improvement outweigh the current increase in emissions by people's houses all heating/cooling themselves in the same time period resulting in increases in peak demand.

>If they were going to outsource or offshore, they would have done it already.

Many have done it. More will do it soon when execs realize that they can simply replace permanent WFH employees with cheaper/hardworking ones from other countries. Also, many services have been created to make hiring people from different countries easier such as payments, compliance, taxes.

>Developers tend to be introverts or introverted, and most serious development requires focus. In the zone as Rands calls it I think. Bugging them doesn’t help them or probably anybody else.

You can redesign the office to give developers more privacy. Cubicles maybe? Also, software development is more than just writing code. It's communication, ideation, collaboration too.

Also, most office workers aren't developers.

>Given all the communication mechanisms, if you’re having difficulty spreading a message there’s larger problems than where people are.

Let's say that you need to make an impromptu announcement in a hybrid environment. First, you make an announcement in person to the people who are next to you. Next, you must then make an announcement to WFH people. Any comments or questions in person aren't heard by WFH people. Or if you do it in a meeting, you have to find time and schedule from WFH people who may or may not be at the computer at that moment. It's a hassle.

> Inconvenience workers to use your sunk cost in real estate?

I don't understand.

>Inconvenience everybody because some have to work on site?

It isn't an inconvenience to everybody. Some people prefer office already.

>Let those looking to socialize socialize. Let those willing to work work

You're implying that people in the office just socialize and don't work? You're also implying that socializing in the office is a waste?

>When brainstorming, do it in person.

How when some are across the country or could be working anywhere?

The Espressif Rust work is super exciting. For those who don't know, they actually hired the guy working on it, and now he works on it full time and with the team who does the C/C++ support. It's also super cool how interoperable the Rust embedded ecosystem is.
I just can't help it, I have to break out this old Kent Pitman saw. I'm not posting this to evangelize; I just think it's funny in context:

"But please don’t assume this is an exhaustive list, and please don’t assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bioinformatics, B2B and Ecommerce, Data Mining, EDA/Semiconductor applications, Expert Systems, Finance, Intelligent Agents, Knowledge Management, Mechanical CAD, Modeling and Simulation, Natural Language, Optimization, Research, Risk Analysis, Scheduling, Telecom, and Web Authoring just because these are the only things they happened to list. Common Lisp really is a general language capable of a lot more than these few incidental application areas, even if this web page doesn’t totally bring that out."
The fact most of those submissions are actually pointing to unique URLs, should tell us something about academia, the practice and ethics of republishing, how valid content will effectively fight a continuous battle for memetic survival, and the innate fragility of the web as publication media.

> in what I imagine is a CPU-heavy task.

I'd love for someone who knows this problem a little better to chime in, but this doesn't look like that heavy a task to me. I've read through the code very briefly. The core of the attractor logic[1] seems to be a few trig functions with a lot of bookkeeping around it (e.g. measuring performance to know how many iterations will fit within each frame budget, I think?). But each iteration depends on the state of previous iterations anyway (stored in module-globals[2]) so there's a data dependency that a CPU isn't going to have a great time with.

I'd be interested to know where most of the time is being spent in this program, but I don't think it's really playing to the strengths of Rust/WASM.

The best language I have found when encouraging responsible use of computer systems at work is to say "do remember, it's not your computer, so don't use it for anything you wouldn't want seen by others.", and this has had the desired effect of turning people who previously saw nothing wrong with keeping pics on their work account into careful users.
