These sources seem a bit pro-russian/anti-US/Nato conspiracy theorist, but honestly, I think I agree with them that destroying these pipelines would be both the best thing for the EU/Europe and the worst thing for Russia, so I could imagine some governments at least considering this move. Or environmental terrorists, do we have those yet? It's a "burn your boats" style game theory commitment to getting off Russian gas.

On the downside, it removes a carrot from the negotiations with Russia to de-escalate the current situation, as there's no easy way for them to start selling to Europe again after they lose the war. So, based on that I'd be dubious that it's a government action. Probably depends on timescales for fixing them.
Interest rates have been considerably higher in the past though. What is different now is that people have gotten used to an endless supply of cheap credit and thinking they are well off so long as the monthly payments can be maintained.

Also, the social media pressure to have the apperance of a perfect life doesn't help.

I agree with all of this, and I’d argue that it’s even worse as I very much doubt anyone gave good advice to most of those people before they took out those mortgages.

I mean, sure, some of us know better - but that’s probably because someone along the way made it clear in very stern terms that you never sign anything you don’t fully understand.

When I lived in the UK my experience was that not only me, but a lot of folks in my age range back then ("young professional") moved all the time. The tenant protections were pretty appalling, particularly if you rented from a private landlord. It does not seem very unlikely that people will lose their homes and have to move.
Not exactly on topic, but a good moment to think - are mortgages even fundamentally desirable? The price of a house is always going to be exactly savings + mortgage, if nobody was taking out mortgages the prices would adjust and people would end up in the same house as before.

It is interesting to ask if mortgages should be rare. It isn't obvious why everyone needs to pledge years of their life to the wealthy in order to own a home. I can imagine alternative scenarios where I own a home without agreeing to give large amount of money to bank shareholders.

Mortgages are the entry point to a world of debt that doesn't make sense. The market keeps trying to draw down debt with financial crisis after crisis and the people in control of the monetary system keep making sure it comes back.
I presume they mean the landlord will not be able to pay the mortgage and hence have the house repossessed. I'm unclear on what that means for tenants in UK.

Or maybe thinking that rents might suddenly spike due to increased mortgage costs.
It is exceedingly unlikely that this is an accident, seeing as no less than three separate pipelines were punctured at different locations within hours of each other.

While none of the pipelines were currently operational, this basically ensures that even if some agreement could be reached with Russia to resume gas imports (not very likely!), it will not be possible in the short term, seeing as the operator claims damages of an unparallelled scale, without going into details.

Presumably this means security around the new Norway-Poland gas pipeline to be opened one of these days is tightened. The seas it runs through are very shallow, so if throwing sufficient resources on it, it should be possible to keep anything larger than a herring from getting close without being noticed.

You can, but they usually require re-tapping / re-dieing. This is usually easier and less wasteful (from a material point of view) than tapping / dieing a drilled or lathed part, but involves careful calibration in order to end up with a good finish. If you don't really care about "machinist fit" threads you can usually get away with 3d printed threads, but they'll bind, or have lots of backlash, or both.

Not quite. Jeff’s “edict” came via a lot of analysis, trial-and-error, and information gathering throughout the entire Amazon organization over the course of many years.

Amazon had huge dependency problem, both technical and organizational. Technically, the effort to work in their monolith scaled superlinear with respect to the CL size due to coordination and review with other teams. Organizationally, teams were dependent on an ever growing set of centralized, global processes that further slowed their ability to make progress.

Jeff (and S-team) saw these issues and worked to solve them through a series of experiments. Specifically, Jeff tasked his then CIO with finding a solution. This CIO worked throughout the organization to gather on-the-ground feedback around what was and wasn’t working; built a model for how Amazon _should_ work based upon that sense making; and then tested, iterated, and refined that model into what we’ve come to know as Single-Threaded Leaders and Two-Pizza teams, etc., today.

In parallel, a couple Amazon business units were experimenting with exposing their data via textual (XML) APIs like the Amazon Associates API which went on to become the Amazon Product Listings API. These early APIs were sort of the POCs that allowed Amazon to see early validation around the concept of web services.

Synthesizing all these different streams of information, ideas, and actions lead to Jeff’s “edict” around building standalone web services (which eventually led to what we know as AWS today).

In short, Jeff is the exact antithesis of GP’s straw CTO. He speaks from data, facts, and information gathered from a myriad of internal and external sources, not merely anecdotes of success from a CEO buddy. :)

Source: Working Backwards has a lot of information on Jeff (and Amazon’s) decision making.
In practice, it amounts to the same thing. To make use of the APIs with the enhanced privacy etc., you have to use the latest SDKs.

If this is really a sabotage, I have a hard time to see who could benefit from it. Even if they don't want to deliver gas right now, I don't understand why Russia would sabotage its infrastructure.
The analysis video was weird. But you have to discount that under that 1) he had just lost a winning game, so probably pretty tilted 2) he was already in the eye of the storm about Magnus 3) he might just be a bit of a dick personally.

If a position has 1 winning move out of 10, you have 10% to nail it even if you are a bozo. I'd say that as a good player you'd do better than random. So while unlikely he might have just got lucky against Magnus (if we want to assume the impossibility of him just having become good).

I agree with parent that the accusation is terrible. 1) it comes from someone in a position of power, 2) it comes from someone who is party injured in the matter (saltiness factor) 3) is completely unfounded as of now. There are just suspicions and theories. 4) it's playing with the accusation without committing to it, kinda like "ill commit only if it's convenient to me". 5) his prior cheating is immaterial. Especially as a child. No one cares that he "has cheated", the point of the matter is "did he cheat in this instance".

Is it bad optics that the guy beating Magnus as an underdog is a known past cheater? Yes. Is it relevant to "he beat Magnus here"? no.

This sparked a thought in me. Sarcasm, irony, and hyperbole; the three most common tools used to express depth of emotion. Each of which, coincidentally, is a way of speaking something untrue. But no one even considers them untruths any more; even calling out hyperbole as literally, factually, false is weird to do. There is no expectation of literal truth in any sort of speech. Words are used mainly for emotive value (I remember a rap critic, distressed at nonsense strings of words a rapper was using in order to rhyme, crying out "Words mean things, dammit!") rather than as vessels to convey information, because their carrying capacity has been heavily degraded. Strange.

GPB to Dollar seems to have levelled out and started coming back slowly so I guess they might get away with it. As the dollar is also up against Euro and many other currencies, possibly due to it being a default 'safe port' in uncertain times, I guess they're trying to take a measured approach.

The Big Cloud Providers (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) are all terribly slow. This is probably because of the (administrative) overhead of provisioning a VM to a customer, setting up billing, any private networking you may need, redundant storage in three timezones, and probably tons of scripts and hooks I don't even know about.

In contrast, Firecracker restores a VM state to do session resumption. The OS has practically already been booted the moment execution for your specific VM begins.

That said, creating a brand new VM takes less than a second on my machine and then maybe 30 seconds for a full first boot, surely the super smart people at these huge cloud companies can figure out a way to get up and running in less than a minute. The ability to spawn quick disposable VMs is one of the reasons I stick to local VMs for dev work rather than some expensive cloud solution.

Because that would be whataboutism. There is currently inflation which is being stoked by the current government who is also making statements which don't add up that then makes financial institutions nervous.

Mortgage rates jumping from 1.5% to 6% in one year is quite a lot regardless of other people's problems. Freezing new mortgage offers during a very volatile period is understandable and also concerning.

> Pretty good, https://ionide.io

It pains me to admit it because I really like F# but, with due respect to the developers, Ionide and its related projects are the most unstable toolchain I've ever used.

Spend half a day reloading the editor because the extension keeps hanging on non-trivial MSBuild only to discover that the formatter has truncated in half one of the files you worked on due to a soundness bug. (OCaml's editor support, in contrast, is quite stable.)

Rider is the best editing experience I've had with F#, by far.
I have been an engineering leader for over 10 years and in all this time I received almost no training or coaching. I was pulled up from my role as an engineer.

For the past 6 months I have been working with a remote leadership coach and it has been incredible! My coach is extremely experienced and alternates between prompting me to solve my own challenges and sometimes just telling me what to do in a given situation.

I highly recommend it to anyone in a leadership or management role.

> I wonder how many people use things like CockroachDB, Yugabyte, or TiDB?

TiDB is a pretty interesting project, but there are a few limitations that should be taken into account when trying to use it: https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/mysql-compatibility

A lot of these are tradeoffs that will affect how a database can be architected, such as having no access to foreign keys and thus needing to think about any sort of consistency and not leaving orphaned data at the application level.

We don't have time for that, we need to hunt down potential abusers and yell "shame on you" at them in public, and get other people to yell "shame on you" at them. If we broke up the banks tomorrow, would that end racism?
> Go is designed with a human centric view, IMHO

If it were Go's design philosophy, it would have allowed unused variables/imports. Those restrictions are there exactly because they help computers, reducing compilation time. The over-focus of compilation time also stems from monorepos being used by Google, whose purpose is also helping computers.
You seem to be talking about inflation rather than interest rates
The pipeline was never in use, but it was filled with 300 million cubic metres of gas, which presumably could have been pumped out and used to at least some degree, even if more gas was not being pumped into the pipeline.
> Near native needs to be, well, near native.

You'll see similar performance variations of the same C code across different compilers, different CPU architectures, on the same CPU when the OS decides to switch between performance- or efficiency-cores, or even just slightly different compiler optimization options (e.g.: real-world performance of native code already varies for many reasons, and WASM is roughly in that same ballpark).

FWIW, in my home computer emulators written in vanilla C (e.g. no language extensions like SIMD intrinsics) the performance difference on an M1 Mac between the native version and WASM version running in Chrome (e.g. https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/c64.html) is indeed within 10%.

This is mostly straightforward integer bit-twiddling code, other types of code may behave differently (one should expect up to 2x slower as worst case).
Not a dumb question at all (despite the apparent down-votes). NASA have developed advanced techniques for doing this, and annealing sintered parts is actually a fairly common procedure as far as I can tell.
-But methane (IDK the composition of the gas in the Nord Stream, but significant methane content is a good bet) is a much more potent greenhouse gas than the CO2 resulting from burning methane.

You basically get more global warming bang for your buck if releasing methane to the atmosphere than if you go through the trouble of burning it first.
We have multiple CockroachDB clusters, have been for 4+ years now. From 2TB to 14TB in used size, the largest does about 3k/req sec.

We run them on dedicated hosts or on Hetzner cloud instances. We tested out RDS Postgres, but that would've literally tripled our cost for worse performance.

Only had a few hiccups with the big cluster but they were resolved quickly with their support.

We're very happy with the product, and have leaned quite a few optimization tricks to get the best out of it. Easy to use as well, join the nodes and it just works.

It's not perfect though, we've had quite a few issues with deleting lots of data at once, it doesn't like that. So we have to do deleted in smaller chunks.

Define "cool".

I dunno about the author, but for me "cool" means something like $temperature < 25C && $humidity < 60%.

No amount of ventilation is going to keep a building "cool" like that when there's a 49C (120F) heat wave outside as the article says. Or even 35C, if there's any humidity involved.

A large temple with thick stone walls, on the other hand, could remain substantially cooler than its surroundings through a couple of weeks of unusual heat wave, because it has a large thermal mass. That's an architectural style that we might actually want to emulate. Increasing ventilation probably isn't going to help, though, in that case.
Normally you start raising prices when you’ve snuffed out the competition and growth has slowed substantially. The problem Twitch is leaving a nice big opening for YouTube to start grabbing up marketshare. Perhaps Twitch has correctly determined that YouTube won’t seriously pursue video game streamers or that their feature set is unique enough that streamers and viewers won’t leave in droves. Twitch has out survived competitors both upstart and big tech backed. But YouTube is already where most produced gaming videos are, they already have an ecosystem of content producers, viewers, and advertisers ready to go.
On-demand high performance steel parts are a really exciting prospect and these results look impressive.

One of the difficulties in adoption I see is finding ways to assure the process and the materials that industry will trust and adopt.

Conventional procurement of exotic or high-performance/high-spec materials can typically include destructive and non-destructive testing to confirm properties at different stages in the supply chain. This is relatively straight forward if you are getting bar or plate stock. You take some bits off and test those separately knowing everything from the same mother-plate will perform the same.

In an additive process, I don't know what that looks like, or what would satisfy those who need it (usually insurance companies). Do you print an extra tab onto the part, or a seperate piece in the same print run? Or is it the consumables (i.e. the metal powder) that you QA, similar to how welding consumables are QAed. Maybe a combination? Either way, it could be a while before industry adopts a standard approach to this.

In a similar but different vein, Modumetal use nanolamination to get the structures they need. I've always wondered why they don't try to match to current steel specs, maybe they can't, maybe it's not a business model that would work for them.
