> I will take what he says with a grain of salt. Especially something like this, which is an opinion piece with no new information attached.

What's the grain of salt, if all of the information he presented is already well-known?

> But now, he's a citizen of the Russian Federation

In fact he is not. Although he has applied.

> Does he take that oath seriously?

It's unknown. Do you have access to any special information on this subject?

> If not, why do they tolerate him?

Can you truly not think of any reasons Russia might tolerate his presence even if he were not to seriously and honestly swear to do whatever they say?

He is a living middle finger to the US. Russia benefits from him simply being there and staying in the public awareness. I'm sure loyalty to Putin would be nice, but I bet they'd gladly accept simply not actively working to undermine Russia while he's there.
Interestingly Judaism was first developed in a polytheistic context, but near eastern cultures eventually choose their own patron deities and the Israelites ended up favoring Yahweh. El was another contender, but he ended up being merged into Yahweh. These polytheistic roots later became controversial, so there were efforts to make them disappear in the last two thousand years, which is a shame.

These ancient religions were different, the deities used to represent various aspects of the world, or rather they were used to anthropomorphize them. People even had personal deities. Of course as cultures became more monolithic, as the divisions between them became clear, religions became more political, which is still a problem today thousands of years later.
Formik hasn’t been updated in years, is riddled with bugs and performance issues, and very likely will never be updated again. Not what I’d want in a JS library.
That would be more comforting than the reality that there's a huge overlap.

Great power should have great oversight.

Could you share how do you approach this estimation step of the predictive performance?
imo people get a bit too worked up over the peak power draw of parts that are going to be fully loaded only a couple hours per day.

the bigger issue is where all that additional heat is going and how. I'll be paying close attention to the SPL metrics for this generation.

We tried to use other frameworks but finally came back to React for only one reason. It's easier to hire for React. The talent pool for React is almost 10 times that of other frameworks.

And for now, this reason is good enough for us.
As long as he stays there, I will assume he might be under duress. Pardon him, then let's see.
After using the internet and nested thread style sites for way, way too long, I've finally comes to the conclusion that we had it right the first time with mailing lists, e-bulletin boards, forums, and imageboards: chronological, oldest to newest is the best way to read these threads.

Not only does it disincentivize the bad behavior we are talking about, but it also has the unique effect of giving you an intuitive meta perspective on a thread, and you get to see how older threads affected newer ones, as they happen. It feels way more organic, even if you aware that all the other commenters are trapped in the algorithm box.
And laws about the data collection, collation, and usage by governments date quite a way back...

For instance, the 1974 French SAFARI scandal,

where the government wanted to build a centralized computer database that would collect country-wide administrative data, starting with the 400 (physical) police files, and IIRC with a single social security number for each citizen,

has caused such an uproar that the project was abandoned and the data privacy regulator CNIL was soon created.

(Note the totalitarianism (aka "high modernism") inherent in computers, by the way what they show tends to be accepted as truth, the way they don't have any common sense, the way their digital nature tends to classify people into strict categories, which then become set in stone by their limited capacity to forget, the way the free flow of information turns qualitative and how they give a lot of power to the State while democracies try to limit this power.)

Sadly, we've recently seen its failure - caused in a big way by it being stripped of its power in 2004, leaving only a consultative (non-)power - in 2010 a law about "a general principle of information sharing between administrations" has still been created.

Some notable worries are about the preceding 2007 law that authorized ethnic statistics - while personal data treatment using ethnic or racial data, and adding race and religion values in the administrative files are still forbidden - the potential of ethnic data becoming racial data is still very high.

Another worry is about the genetic prints file : created in 2002 and first limited to sexual criminals, it has since been extended to a whopping 5% of the population, 87% of which have NOT (yet, quite a lot of the debate being how long these files should be kept) been condemned for the reason they got added to the file. It gets worse, and shows how quantitative can become qualitative : because genetic information is NOT independent between family members, a staggering third of the population ends up having its genetic identifiers at least partially stored in these files.

A 2022 project (submission date ending 2 weeks ago) to interconnect the digital prints file with the criminal records file has mentioned a potential future project of connecting both with the generic prints file... (among others) with also a policemen-suggested requirement that "the solution be compatible with remote work [...] not requiring strong authentication".

Hi jjdeveloper, would you be interested in chatting for about 15 minutes? With a bit more context, I may be able to provide you with a bit useful advice that is relevant for your time. Send me a message if you are keen to chat.
Yep, the flow of money is almost perfectly correlated with flows of energy and material. Fuel/material consumption and GDP are basically measuring the same thing ("useful work accomplished") with a different quantitative lens.

Why would you disable UPnP? You're gonna break most collaboration tools/video games/etc.
Counterpoint, heavy use mostly doesn't apply to solid-state devices (much how the expected lifespan of an incandescent bulb is independent of its previous usage), and to the extent it would matter the effect is probably dwarfed by not being stuck in a gaming PC full of dust and experiencing constant thermal shock as the games ramp up and down.

To the pizza car analogy, when I was in that game I put a hard 60k miles/yr on such vehicles, but I also regularly change the oil, keep great tires and brakes on them, replace bushings and other suspension components at the first sign of issue, etc... Partly because driving that many miles makes issues easy to spot due to familiarity and temporal coherence and partly because it is cheaper to fix many such things sooner rather than later after they've jostled something else out of place. Nobody ever asked if it was a pizza car. I listed it as well maintained and got top dollar each time because it was and their inspections showed that to be true.
This is amazing dev product
IMO blocking bots isn't too big of a concern, the problem is when a dedicated attacker realizes you serve valuable data (in your HTML). Next thing you know, they're running puppeteer or a similar remote controlled browser to scrape your site, which is both undesirable in itself and the scraper might overload your site/database by scraping with no internal parallel request limit. If you're not a startup with an unlimited early cloud budget, it can be costly if you want to handle both bot usage (including official API-based or scraping bots) and regular users.
I don’t really see what you mean by "this taken into account". Magnus likes to play lines with little advantage and theory on purpose to try to score points against weaker opponents. Even played on purpose these lines remain quite poor. When the opponent plays somewhat accurately that leads to draw-ish to losing positions.

Carlsen also plays the endgame unusually poorly.
Depending on how much you want to spend, a 1080ti, 2080ti and 3080ti are all good upgrades (roughly doubling in price with each step). All of them come with 11GB or more memory, making them very usable for not only gaming but also "average" ML (e.g. stable diffusion runs great on my 2080ti, and it's very usable for developing tensorflow models).
Hi there,

Right now, Glo the organization is still taking shape. As we formalize, we'll have things like a board of directors, and all the standard protections/checks that nonprofits have to stop them from being evil. Will that suffice to garner trust? I am not sure, but at face value, lots of nonprofits, including those that handle cash transfers, are trusted.

To reframe this question, what would suffice to elevate Glo to the same level of trustworthiness as GiveDirectly, assuming we were structured similarly?
I’ve heard it isn’t. From what I’ve heard, the salaries aren’t that outstanding, and the people getting them are being paid for their experience with the environment, not the language.
It's a bit more complicated than this, because the treaties don't really have any mechanism for unilaterally expelling a member state and there is no precedent for doing so. The reality is there is no easy answer to what happens when a national constitution is incompatible with EU law.
On the other hand 24/7 usage means no thermal cycling, probably eliminating failures caused by solder joint cracking.
If it is commons-harming, it should be addressed by the commons - through politics.

I should be free to use energy as I wish, just that the cost of externalities should be internalized (i.e. taxes for greenhouse emissions should be baked into the price of electricity, or alternatively the fossil fuel used in the first place).

As such, prices would give us a mechanism to judge the TRUE total cost of, say, leaving a light on versus its productivity benefits.
I think typically the XX70 has been in line with the xx90 TI of the last generation, so this is in fact a better improvement over that. It's still dumb though to have two xx80's.
So many people comment about how Snowden can't say things like this because he is in Russia. I wonder: how does it invalidate the facts? He links to Wikipedia. Maybe you don't want to believe Snowden, him being a traitor. Don't you believe Wikipedia? I don't see how Snowdens identity is even relevant to the subject.
Not even close to a gimmick...
"I completely disagree that modern languages have removed all restrictions."

So do I. That's why I said the marginal advantage makes it not worth it, and said already that literate programming does things that conventional doesn't.

(If you don't know what a marginal advantage is, you may want to poke around on the internet a bit. It's a very valuable concept. And I see a lot of people using the word in a way that shows they don't really know what it means; it is commonly thought that it means something "small" or "insignificant". That's not what it means.)

"There is nothing to tell you this information in a typical program."

This is true, but it's not true because nobody uses strict Knuthian literate programming, it's because nobody is writing those. Languages generally do have a place to put a top-level summary and organize all the rest of the documentation. I know; I use them and write them. All my major systems have an official "top level" location, and generally I put it in the local system's language-specific documentation format (godoc for most of my systems). People just don't write them. Handing them better tools won't solve that problem.
It doesn't really matter if it's illegal, they will retaliate. Have you done the thing you're advising this stranger to do ?

I think them meant xbox series X, not S.
For comparison, a 4080 has a lot more uses than a Xbox Series S, which I think you can only realistically use for gaming.
Divining people's real motivations is a skill wasted on HN news comments. If you're as good at it as you think you are, you should be brokering multi-billion dollar deals.
Harsh blocking/limiting/challenging is way too valuable to sites that are actually trying to make money online. It's not going away short of legislation banning it. Losing 1/10,000 legitimate customers to cut fraud attempts, spam, exploit attempts, and so on, by 90% or more, is just too good a trade-off.

I have bad news about the most-likely fix for it, longer term, so we can lay off the IP-based reputation stuff and the geo-blocking: it's tying some form of personal ID to your browsing activity, so that bears the reputation instead of the address.

Sorry. Said it was bad news.
I assume you live in a country where electricity is still cheap. This is not universally true.
Dont be a hero. Dont encourage bad management. simply say it is stressfull. Also watch out for job postings that say exciting and aggressive schedule with fancy tpys.

Really one off situations are pretty common (once or twice a year). If the company is not making Money - they typically find themselves in this situation for a mad dash (usually results in poor engineering and poor outcomes).

Can you cut corners / steps to make code faster - sure - but if it fundamentally does not change the business / support structure of the company - it will always be the case.

I highly doubt that it's easy to hire rust developers.

Maybe it's possible to hire c++ dev and make them work on a rust project?

Anyhow, is there a qt equivalent for rust? Can rust really compete with c++?

I've read rust code and I'm sorry but it seems like the steep learning curve is just not worth it, even if the benefits are big.

I still believe rust fills the same niche of ada, meaning tight requirements. Most c++ projects don't care that much. It's cheaper to test things or rewrite than betting on a new difficult language.
I would argue it's 100% greenfield effect. A rewrite fixes all the things but introduces new problems. I would bet the OP could've achieved the same effect by figuring out what's wrong with their codebase (which honestly is easier for an outsider to do than someone who has worked on it everyday).

And I would caution against converting anything to a non JSX or hyperscript language (like svelte or vue), you don't want to tie your entire view to some HTML-like DSL IMO.
Simple solution here: don't buy locked phones anymore. My last locked phone purchase was in 2011. In the US, you don't need to buy a locked phone anymore to get service.
This is not a new development with the 40 series. The RTX 3090 Ti already had a 450W TDP: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3090-ti.c3...

What you describe is accurate, the 3090 Ti produces a tremendous amount of heat under load in my experience and I would expect the same with these new cards.

I upgraded from a 970 to a 2080 a while back and have been very happy with it. Still plays modern games at good frame rates, though not with max settings.

Obviously your choice depends greatly on budget + availability of hardware, as well as your desired resolution, but I'd suggest the 2070 or 2080 (maybe 2080ti?) as a good starting point.
> low-e glass windows
> South-facing windows are backed by local stone floors that capture and radiate heat in winter.

Have you done any analysis or testing on low-e vs normal glass windows in the wintertime? In summer, obviously you want the low-e glass to block the radiant energy. But in the winter, you'd want to allow that radiant energy through, which the low-e glass is not doing.

It seems like low-e glass is only good for summer, and not winter. Have you put any thought into this? Maybe I am missing something crucial about the situation though.
Since quitting React I've been happier with my day to day. Phoenix Liveview came in clutch and showed me I don't have to put up with these kinds of self-inflicted problems.

If you're tired of React and the npm lunacy, I recommend you take a dip into Elixir and Phoenix Liveview. Take it for a spin, see how much better it is for you and your users. It's _sane_. You don't have to "split the context" anymore. xD
That pricing is absolutely insane.

Reminder that the 780ti was $700. The top spec SKU.

Nvidia has took the GPU shortage and now set that pricing as the norm. And people will eat it up like suckers.
Been using React as the view library for 8 years worth of applications that real-time manage fleets of robots worldwide (think config CRUD app + Google Maps + Dashboard + live camera/lidar views + joystick controls).

I generally empathize and see what a lot of authors are saying when they have these commentaries. But I just cannot get past the reality that for all its issues and things worth complaining about, React has never really been "in my way" when it comes to the only goal I really care about: shipping a maintainable product on-time.

I think that comparing a 10 year old library to much younger libraries can be useful in some cases, but is still apples to oranges, given that younger library still has to survive growing up and not having the same claimed fate.
Because it creates blurry ugly image and they are taking it as a baseline. They are not even measuring performance without DLSS anymore - it's so pathetic. "We can only upscale, we can't render with good enough performance".
I think it's the advertisers that assess user profiles and bid on who they want to show the ads to. YouTube would only be responsible for choosing from the collection of advertisers that select you. YouTube would want to maximize the bid price as well as the likelihood of success so that the advertisers will continue to get value from their ad-spend, right?

If you don't have many advertisers choosing profiles like yours, YouTube's algorithm won't play much of a role in selecting what ads you see.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Relatively new react developer here (still learning in fact!), I liked this article although it shook me a bit and made me wonder "am I wasting time with some of this stuff? maybe I should be looking ahead to the next 'best framework'".

Well, since I live in Switzerland, I am happy to disagree. Swiss people vote on many things multiple times per year and consider this a fundamental right and this the way it should be.
Tiktok grew via advertising extensively on YouTube. It was the website with most of its mainstream target demographic and content similarities.
Well not really and that article clearly shows that is only really in part taxpayer funded.

The RF owns the Crown Estate. Of this estate the UK government sits on/uses part of that estate. Therefore they're essentially paying "rent" for what they're using.

However it used to be that the RF received all of the income from the Crown Estate. The SG was an agreement that they would forgo taking all of the income and only a portion of it; the rest goes to public spending.

Hell, they even had to invoke a provision to make up the amount should it fall: "A decrease in the Crown Estate's rental income during the COVID-19 pandemic led to the first use of the provision that prevents the value of the Sovereign Grant from falling, with the Treasury committing to make up the shortfall.".

It's a weird system for sure. The treasury pays out rent for all Royal Holdings that are being used by the goverment/public. Then 15%~ of that rent (plus income from other parts of the holdings) is available to the RF as a part of the SG. The rest goes back to the public.

There is a valid point made that security isn't included in these costs/returns, though. But at the end of the day, it's because the RF owns huge swathes of land and businesses, etc that they are paid. Sure they could be stripped of them but that sets a precedent.
