I actually regret being a specialist.

For the past couple years, I focused on my Python and Django skills but now I can't find any decent work for these technologies since every Python work now moved to AI and Machine Learning.

I wish I had continued building PHP and Wordpress stuff as well as dig into new fields like machine learning. I also started in tech as a penetration tester but forgot about everything I learned while focusing on Django development.

Being a specialist is also boring and makes you stupid. You're like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand. When I started digging into new technologies, I realized how much I didn't know and how far the world has moved on.

Lately, I've been remedying this situation by learning new programming languages, reading more books, and attempting projects to test my new skills.

Never specializing ever again.

That's how I feel, at least.

euthanasia in Italy is currently illegal, but you can work around it by killing yourself. Federico Carboni (previously known with the code name "Mario") "technically" killed himself using a drug and a special machine that costed 5k eu. A ruling of the constitutional court allowed this procedure to be supervised by a doctor and the money for the drug to be collected by an association helping the pro-euthanasia choice.

Now; with this loophole, is euthanasia to be considered legal?

The cost of the drug/machine, which albeit not impossibly high, is still perceived to be a high barrier to entry, in a country where healthcare is a right.

But if the cost issue is solved; would that mean that now the state is "euthanising the poor"?

Ask HN: How to migrate out of Gmail and Google Suite?
I am terrified by the stories of people getting lock out of their accounts. I want my family to use email addresses and data, which we truly own. It is just too important to depend on a faceless corporation and their bots.

Could you help me finding the right solutions without spending too much (<1000 USD / year, family of four)?

The ideal lists of the solutions I need, and the alternatives I've seen:

- Email (custom domains)

- Calendar

- Storage

- Photos

- Docs (?)

- VPN would be nice too

I could potentially self-host, but I'm afraid I will make upgrades to rarely and will have more security vulnerabilities that a paid, hosted system.

Fastmail looks interesting for the email part. Proton checks several boxes, but with no family plan, it's very expensive (and doesn't cover Photos or Docs).
Somewhat opposing view here. I'm not a generalist and haven't spent much time trying to be one, outside of some freelance work where I just said "sure, I can definitely build that" to whatever the ask was.

Specialisation lets you spend time looking into computer science research instead of into solving today's business or tech stack problem. I don't know how to handle dependencies in npm or the details of what changes across python releases. I have read a lot of papers and spend a lot of time experimenting.

I remember being concerned around one of the job moves that I was becoming very specialised and may struggle to find work outside of my area. That's definitely a hazard but I figure I'll deal with that by retiring.

According to Shoigu (their minister of Defence) they'll use the conscripted men in order to secure the existing front-line, which is quite long. Couple that with the incoming referendums during which the regions that now Russia controls in Southern and Eastern Ukraine will vote for an annexation to Russia, which makes me doubtful that the Russian Army will try and make a push further North across the Dnieper or even towards Mykolaiv or Odessa. Not sure though what will happen with the part of Donetsk region that they do no presently control, i.e. to cities like Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. As such, I don't think that the ground being frozen or not will have such a big effect going forward.

Of course, I might be wrong on all this and the Russians launching a new offensive on Kiev and Kharkov.
Is there? Most applications are not running in a hot loop over terabytes of data. There are a few where indeed insane speed-ups are possible (e.g. it would be dumb to compete with video codecs in anything other than assembly with plenty of vector instructions), but most programs barely make a CPU sweat, they just idle on IO. Virtual threads like Go, Java would bring much much more benefit over rewriting said programs in a lower level language.
This is called physician-assisted suicide in the USA and it is legal in a few states.

The mobilization only includes people who formerly served in the military (at least 1-2 years of training). A certain percentage of them are "reservists" who work normal jobs but are summoned for a month-long military training every year to be ready in the case of war, and so they will probably be prioritized (at least according to Putin & Shoigu).

This is not cannon fodder. Russia is running out of willing soldiers, not soldiers in general.
Europe has plenty of space for fracking and is not really dangerous.

They somehow decided that it was better to import gas from Russia and to be vulnerable rather than to produce it locally and reap the strategic and economic benefits because "but the environment"... Really a myopic approach to strategic issues: If Europe depends on gas, and it does, then supply must be secure and domestic if possible. This does not prevent from moving to renewables at the same time.

He's probably not trying to marginalize Ukraine. Billions of people grew up with that language, and it just takes time to get used to the change.

Not everything is overnight, and your own link states that the change in terminology is both political, and recent. And while Wikipedia states the change was 1991, it's not like every person on the planet got a memo in the mail the next day letting them know what the new, approved, language is. For millions, it's still newish information.

Fist, the 10,000 hour rule is false common knowledge [1,2].

Second, splitting a general role ("backend engineering") in arbitrary atomic skills doesn't make sense because there's no end to it. Backend engineering -> OS fundamentals -> Driver programming -> Hardware design -> Boolean logic -> Set theory -> and so on...

Third, all engineering roles have cross-cutting concerns. You do need some network knowledge to be a "backend guy"... but also to be a sysadmin, devops, etc.. It's not like all these roles exist in a vacuum and you're starting from 0 if you switch between them.

Finally, most people that think of themselves as experts in some role, language or framework end up in the "1 year of experience repeated 10 times" trap. True experts are also somewhat generalists too, because you can't built a tall knowledge without growing the base too (pun intended).

> Calling Ukraine "The Ukraine" is a Russian tactic...

This is just wrong. If you search for the word Ukraine on the Russian government site kremlin.ru (there is an English-language version), you will find that this word is used there without the article. I am sure you'll get the same results if you search RT's web site.

The article isn't the Russians' doing, especially given that there aren't any articles in most Slavic languages, including Russian. It is a historical happenstance of the English language, probably back from the time when the name Ukraine was perceived as meaning borderland. People using it probably do so because they learnt the word decades ago.

> I was in favour that NATO would secure the skies

'Securing' skies is a term that has been repeated a lot but in practice it means potentially shooting down Russian aircrafts to 'secure' a corridor.

This would mean a NATO member doing an act of war against Russia _without_ the purpose of defending a NATO member state.

The main argument is where do you draw the line? Why did NATO not provide air support for Georgia in South Ossetia, or for Crimea in 2014 but now does so for Donetsk in 2022?

In my opinion doing so would just give Russian propaganda a stronger argument that NATO is intended on attacking Russia rather than securing it's member states.

The trick is though to tailor your CV for the position you're applying for.

I'll research everything I can about the company and the people interviewing me, I'll look up common interview questions for the technology they use and spend WAY more time on any coding exercises than what they suggest making sure that it's well structured, tested and easy to extend in the follow up in-person interview.

If it's a tech I haven't used much of, I'll be honest about it and they'll generally be impressed that I know as much as I do even though I'm new to the tech.

If the proportion of users leaving is lower than the proportion increase in income, YouTube wins.
I never do this because I have no idea what it'll do. If I tell YT I'm not interested in a video will it hide the whole channel from me? Even secretly unsubscribe me as it randomly did multiple times?

If I had to describe YouTube's recommendation algorithm I'd say "undefined behaviour". It might recommend the same uninteresting video every day, but also hide an interesting, subscribed channel's videos for months even though I liked almost every one of their videos. It might mix videos I already watched once with completely unrelated search results.
At this point Google could probably improve their algorithm just by flipping a coin.

>Russia deploying another 200,000 troops

It is a very hard task even to just deploy, let alone with any gain. In February after months and months of training Russia has deployed to Ukraine about that number of the best forces it had (like Kantemirovskaya tank division). We've seen how it went.

The newly mobilized forces, even after 2-3 months of announced training, will be an order of magnitude worse with worse hardware (that if China doesn't help - there is a reason Putin made the announcement right after the Shanghai Organization summit, may be China promised something, though that would most probably accelerate US hardware to Ukraine). Deploying such forces to a battlefield, especially a one like in Ukraine - as they say it is much more harsh than even Chechen war - one risks loosing them as they come. For now Russia announced plans to use them initially in the 2nd/3rd lines of defense.

As an example - during recent Harkiv counter-offensive by Ukraine Russia was trying to stop Ukraine by throwing in significant new, recently recruited, additional forces without any staging, battle order forming, etc. - those forces were just destroyed as they came by Ukraine as a result.

Giving Ukraine more and better weapons will nullify any Russian number advantage and thus is the shortest path to end this war.

Is Rust C++-Fast? Benchmarking System Languages on Everyday Routines
"...Multiple existing benchmarks comparing the performance of Rust with other languages focus on rarely used superficial algorithms, leading to somewhat inconclusive results. In this work, we conduct a comparative performance benchmark of Rust and C++ using commonly used algorithms and data structures rather than exotic ones. Our evaluation shows that the overall performance of Rust is similar to C++, with only minor disadvantage. We also demonstrate that in some Rust routines are slightly faster than the ones of C++..."

World War in the sense of nuclear weapons and the whole West at war.

Even if it stays that way - Russia against the West - and even if on paper Russia will lose since they are alone - nukes can fly especially over Europe. I'd understand why someone would call that a World War.

There is also a formality in the definition of war vs "special operation". When Russia formally declares war against Ukraine, the West will be considered a cobelligerent if they supply Ukraine with weapons. The partial mobilization is a step towards that

The worst that will happen to Russia is that they get pushed all the way out of the country they invaded, and maybe lose various assets they have in other foreign countries. Nobody's foolish enough to try to make Russia flat-out surrender, like Germany in WWI.

Caution is certainly warranted but it doesn't seem productive to reward Russia for invading another country.
