Specialists are much more interesting to talk to than generalists because I find that usually "generalist" means "someone who knows everything at a surface level", whereas specialists tend to have deep domain knowledge.

I personally blame Russia war mongering, the USA brain dead diplomacy of the past twenty-five years and their constant meddling in European affairs for their own advantage. But to each their own I guess.

I was on a team that did three week sprints separated by a one week “do whatever you want” while the manager and tech lead planned the next three week sprint. I lived for those weeks! It was great for fixing bugs, refactoring for the hell of it, or adding new internal features. I probably learned the most during those one weeks, because someone would inevitably refactor something and we would all learn from the approach. Sometimes we didn’t even commit the new code, but would steal successful patterns for future code.

Sometimes, we would “invent” something novel and truly impressive that would open doors to future features that were previously impossible.
This is really going to screw Russia for generations. Every young Russian I know has either already left, plans to leave, or has to stay but hates their leader. You don't get your country to turn into a superpower by losing the most educated and skilled of the young generations. I only hope as things get more desperate he doesn't feel trapped lash out with the nukes.
Calling Ukraine "The Ukraine" is a Russian tactic to make Ukraine seem less like a country and more like a region. Quoting from wikipedia:

> However, since Ukraine's declaration of independence in 1991, [calling Ukraine "The Ukraine"] has become politicised and is now rarer, and style guides advise against its use. US ambassador William Taylor said that using "the Ukraine" implies disregard for Ukrainian sovereignty. The official Ukrainian position is that "the Ukraine" is incorrect, both grammatically and politically.
Oh, so why did "Korean" and "Vietnamese" pilots suddenly started speaking russian when they were shot down?

Awesome tool. I love its simplicity, and also the vim-like command mode.
Right off the bat, here are a few improvements I would suggest for the command mode:

- (i or Enter): Go back to edit mode
- (dd): Delete the task
- (u/r): Undo/Redo

Another suggestion would be to spin up some sort of issue-tracker (github, discourse, canny...) where feedback can be given in an organized way.

Oh yeah, super good idea. We had fantastic experience with humiliated nations before. It worked so well for Germany after WW1 /s

FACT: the end of this war must be positive for the Russian people, no matter whether Russia loses or wins the military operation. Putin came to power because the West didnt help the former Soviet republics. If Russia is left alone humiliated again then we will have the next anti-western system in 10 years.
You definitely point out that reality is more wild than fiction! I remember working insurance for O&G firms that did hot tapping - you know, welding on a pressurized Natural Gas Pipeline. How that ever became a thing I dunno but they go boom a little too often for insurers.

Over reasoning? Because I ask a developer what they want to work on during an interview? Guess what, turnover is high when your developers are unhappy with the work they're doing. I've had developers do work that they didn't like to do, and they quit, so now I make sure they're gonna be happy where I want them.

I'm not second guessing anything, in fact my comment says the exact opposite. If a developer reworks their LinkedIn to highlight some expertise they're interested in working on, then I fully trust them on that and will gladly hire them.

I'm not sure where your whole angle of not trusting developers to know their own happiness comes from. But let me be clear, if you're a generalist with relevant experience I will definitely ask you to come over for an interview. I'm not throwing valuable resumes in the trash. But during the interview I will be frank about what the job entails, and I'll gauge your response to figure out if you'll be content. Whether I'm effective or not I don't know, but I'm going to have to at least try to get the right person at the right position.

edit: BTW I'm not just saying this as a CTO at a small startup, I'm also saying this as a generalist with highly valuable frontend skills and I pray to god I don't have to get into another frontend job (either directly, or by being lured into it after applying as a generalist).
My modus operandi is to observe everything going on around me and slowly acquire an encyclopedic knowledge of my environment. That's the one thing I'm really good at, and how I market myself is by telling stories about how I've jumped in to an unfamiliar field, learned about it, and made an impact.

But only if you’re also using glibc, right?

If you’re only using syscalls and no libc at all, you’re fine (on Linux, and only Linux).
FYI "The Ukraine" is a term pushed by Russian influences to make you think of it as a region (literally translated "the borderlands") as opposed to a sovereign state. The country is just called Ukraine.
> In practice I'd prefer a world without government and with companies tracking me over a government that steals half of my income and protect me from "evil" trackers.

What does "in practice" mean here?

I get the sense that when people say things like this, they think folks would have the lifestyles they currently have in the US, but much better because they don't have to pay any tax. In reality, a world without government would be run by the type of people who run Russia right now.

Great if you're connected to enough strongmen to be an oligarch I suppose but not that great for anyone else.
Edge cases also include using a different libc, working around bugs in the supported libc, trying to minimise how much of your stack is implemented in C.

> If we were to write new components in Kotlin, we would be making the problem worse. At this point in time Java is our safe fallback.

I don't agree with this. Kotlin is essentially a drop-in replacement for Java, so much so that you can replace your Java classes _one by one_ with Kotlin classes. The build tools, frameworks etc are mostly the same, so no real changes required in the environment. (All this is not true for Scala, for example.)

From one perspective, one might argue that Kotlin didn't do enough (eg. it has ADTs but no pattern matching), on the other hand, this is exactly why it is so easy to step up. You can also very quickly get productive in it coming from Java, there is no need to use advanced stuff like async/await, and there are very few caveats you need to worry about.

Just my 2c, based on experience.

Technical case for non-tech job interviews
It seems that way to me.

I'm not sure what the western forces game plan is and i'm not sure they actually want to help Ukraine too much, I think they are walking the fine line of wanting to hurt Russia enough and see what happens, but they don't want to truly arm Ukraine because if Russia really loses, they might just nuke.

I don't think the signal was intended primarily for the international audience. Putin is under a lot of pressure from hawks in his own ranks to win this war. They were asking him why he isn't mobilising. And now they will be saying that it's not enough. I guess there won't be enough boots for the new conscripts, so this dynamic will be interesting to watch.
Just because no one's done it before doesn't mean we're not allowed to do it. What Cosmopolitan Libc does is no different from any statically-linked binary on BSD, because they too use the SYSCALL instruction directly in a way that can't be changed at will by the operating system maintainers. The BSD operating systems do not forbid static linking. If you look at their syscalls.master files, a lot of time, particularly with ones like FreeBSD, you'll notice a large number of system calls which are only there to preserve backwards compatibility with statically linked binaries. It's really nice of them to do that.

When people talk about the supposed requirement to depend on the platform libc dso, what they're actually talking about is Apple frowning upon statically linked binaries. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1118/_index... They don't forbid it though, like Microsoft and Fuschia do. Fuschia for instance uses RIP origin detection. Windows does it by changing the RAX ordinals fortnightly. Apple simply asks that we say, hey, if you use Cosmo there's some risk Apple might break our binaries. We take proactive steps to avoid that happening with Cosmo. For example, we don't do some of the things Go did, like reverse engineering the memory layout of Apple's time functions. Cosmo sticks to the APIs that are shared by UNIXes in general, e.g. gettimeofday(), rather than depending on Apple's own internal designs, e.g. Mach system calls. I don't believe Apple can rightfully claim APIs that aren't their own, as being their own implementation detail which they can change at will. We do our best to respect Apple's boundaries, so I believe the risk of breakage with Cosmo on Apple should be minimal.
Wendover Productions "Why Russia Is Invading Ukraine" on YouTube provides some good info. Some reasons include:
- They need to secure energy sources (natural gas) to ensure a future for their economy. Ukraine was threatening this business by beginning to get funding from Western companies to develop their natural gas industry
- Geographically, losing Ukraine to NATO/the West would result in compromised defensive lines
- Putin wants to reestablish the former united Soviet Union
That just moves the problem to the frontend. Often it can be worked around with HATEOAS at the architectural level or lazy loading, pagination, etc. in the frontend, but not always.

Nukes are a possibility, but MAD has stopped us all using them for many years so far.

As far as conventional arms go: Russia has quite a few planes, tanks, and artillery; however, so long as the USA wills it, the Ukraine will have more anti-air missiles, more anti-tank munitions, and more long-range rockets.

In any long-range fight, being able to locate your enemy is key; the pentagons ability to identify the location of Russian positions appears to be unsurpassed. So long as they are passing this intel to the Ukraine, along with long-range weapons to act on it, any attempt at a Russian advance will be done without access to local command/supply posts.
That's an interesting observation. The process-in-coroutine I use doesn't do cancellation. I think I'd implement it by having lua send a signal to the child process which seems sufficient.
I'm 99% sure that a US website is perfectly within their right to deny EU citizens for whatever reason. If it was EU based however they would be violating the GDPR. There's a lot of US sites that just give a HTTP 451 (unavailable for legal reasons) for people from the EU.
In my opinion it's okay to not be able to pinpoint the exact problem, thats what I tried to imply by using the quotations.

This is why I position myself as Consultant and Engineer, because you will know you have a problem with your cluster, and I should know how to solve it.

When you are at the point, where your question is: "I need someone to fix my internal ingress-controller because traefik binds all services to the public one", you might simply need to open an issue with the developers of traefik.

Yet if your problem is: "we would like to completly separate internal traffic from external traffic inside our own datacenter", you are looking for the kubernetes devops guy with the neccesairy experience.

> We must have a different concept of "conventional war" if the assumption is that Russia is going to start nuking Ukraine to the ground.

Being a nuclear state in of itself gives you plenty advantages in a conventional war, even if they aren’t used.
Well... it's complicated by the firehose of Russian propaganda, but their actions make it clear: eradication and assimilation of Ukrainian culture and nation, and the seizure of Ukraine's territory and resources - 'genocide' sums it up succinctly.

Putin's regime has demonstrated that the lives of ordinary Russians are meaningless in the pursuit of its political goals - just like every Russian/Soviet regime before it. This implies that the war can only end with a total defeat for Russia or Ukraine.

Ukraine is in an existential fight, while Russia is in a political one. Disregard what anyone claims about corruption in Ukraine: its decentralized democracy has enabled it to survive so far, while Russia is (literally and metaphorically) disintegrating.

Russia is bigger with limitless brutality; Ukraine is determined and smart. We'll have to see which of these qualities brings victory...
I presume he is thinking on the basis of Russia deploying another 200,000 troops and the effect that may have on undoing the gains of late (whether it will or not is another matter...).

Extending that thought process, if a partial mobilisation realises 200,000 troops to fight, then the next logical step after that fails is a full mobilisation with pundits suggesting up to 1,000,000 "soldiers".

There is some merit in thinking that the sheer size of Russia means they can just keep churning out men for a zerg rush at a rate exceeding that which Ukraine can deal with, at a cost:benefit ratio acceptable for Russia but crushing for Ukraine.

I think the guy was saying that you have to surround an expression with ‘log()’ to get the logarithm—which is inconvenient when it's a result of previous calculations and you have to shuffle the cursor around. Can't just slap ‘log’ and have the current expressions logarithmized.

However, seeing as the calculator allows writing expressions with multiple operations, just shoving everything on the screen into ‘log()’ would be unreasonable, as one might want to provide the exact place for the logarithm themselves—so I guess the app does the most reasonable thing it can.

For most businesses, a good chunk of their compute costs are energy costs, directly or indirectly (eg. via cooling, or via paying for cloud hosting from someone else who pays the energy bill).

Therefore, the real question becomes: Which language will reduce my compute budget most?
> you're stuck maintaining bug-for-bug compatibility for every syscall you've ever written

But instead you have to maintain bug-for-bug compability in libc for every API you've ever written. In case of macOS where the kernel and libc/libSystem developments are closed and done by the same entity is makes zero difference (imho).

Also, I understand catiopatio's argument in the sibling comment about doing more in user-space than in kernel in case of a bug, but it breaks down the moment thin wrappers around syscalls exist there. You link to libc/libSystem and use every thin wrapper in existence - now no syscall can be changed (if I understand correctly how macOS works, never used one)

Yeah, but the people in the market for $400k sheds aren't going to buy land where its $2,000/acre.

Land is absolutely cheap in some places in the world, but any place you'd actually want to live in this house is going to have expensive land.

If you're living in a place with $2k/acre land, you'll likely want to build a proper house anyway.

These numbers are meaningless. Approval could be 5% and you wouldn't know, amd average russian wouldn't know.

Its difficult for a western mindset to understand the mentality.

In Russia no-one trusts that a rating agency is independant or real or has nothing to do with the government.

They will always reply that they support any official policy, even if the policy is anal probing.
