Note that NS2 has also been destroyed, and that's even more recent than NS1. It was definitely sabotage, it can't be anything else given the timing, and it has to be state sponsored given that the pipelines are under the ocean. Berlin apparently thinks it would require submarines or special forces.

US / Ukraine are unfortunately the only states for which this makes sense (perhaps US with back-room permission from some people in the German government):

1. Biden stated flat out he would never allow NS2 to go live. "There will no longer be a NS2, we will end it" and when asked by a reporter "how will you do that exactly" he replied "i promise you we will be able to do it". This makes the USA the prime suspect by far, worryingly and alarmingly.

2. Ukraine wants to keep Europe from supporting Russia via gas purchases but if the attack is traced back to them it would immediately kill public support for them, this would be an insanely risky and counter-productive move.

3. Russia has no reason to blow up its own pipelines and every reason not to. They were hoping Europe goes back to buying their gas, maybe even ending sanctions to get it. This ends that possibility for a while.

We do really need to cut it out with the absurd "Putin is a 4D chess grandmaster" explanations, they make the west look collectively crazy.
> The fact that it looks entirely irrational for Russia to do this is exactly why they might have done it.

Any analysis predicated on "the enemy is perfectly irrational and will not act according their interests" is not analysis. It's untethered from reality, which is convenient, because you can support any conclusion you desire.

Robert McNamara's #1 life lesson was "empathize with your enemy" (he dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis). Sun Tzu said "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." This timeless wisdom has basis in reality.

Unfortunately, realism in Washington has been replaced with insane, petulant ideologues like Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland" and Michael "Of course we lied" McFaul.
Apple already does (3) without (2) or (1). I expected a more interesting plan from a supervillain
workerd includes implementations of the KV and R2 binding APIs, which convert all your calls into HTTP requests under the hood. You can point that at another Worker or to a separate HTTP service to implement the storage behind them. We plan to provide some example implementations in the future that store to disk or a database.
Good point, I agree.

I do know the difference though. I probably copy/pasted part of the comment around and missed that I changed the context. Shame on me for not proofreading my internet comment though. You should probably erase me from existence for my lack of vigilance as punishment...
'everyone should use the units I want them to use and not the commonly used ones'
I still take issue with the idea that a rise of 3% is unprecedented. I speak as someone who purchased my first property right before the ERM crisis and saw my mortgage payment almost double.

Also, for a long time, 100% and even 105% mortgages were common. I remember that when property prices nose-dived, we had people on TV being interviewed and complaining that they were "now in negative equity" as though that were something that had been done to them. These people started in negative equity by taking out a loan for more than the value of the property at the time of purchase.

With all that said, you're 100% correct that higher rates are going to cause real pain now, just as it did then. I don't accept that it's going to cause unprecedented pain, because to do so is to dismiss the very real problems that many many people had back then.

PS. Your strongest "unprecedented" argument would have been that the percentage increase in rates is bigger than ever before. 5% is 250% of 2%, whereas 15% is "only" 200% of 7.5%. But then it's easy to grow hugely when starting from a very small baseline.
> I've heard of overhangs that block the sun in the summer when it's more directly overhead, but allow direct sunlight into the home in the winter when it's at more of an angle, so there are certainly some things that can be done.

This is the best approach to take almost anywhere that experiences hot weather, which is almost anywhere these days. It works like a cowboy hat or an rice field worker's conical hat.

In addition to the overhangs, it's wise to minimize windows on the side of the building facing the nearest pole, both to reduce winter heat loss, and minimize summer heat gain. Conversely, the same house should put a reasonable (but not excessive) amount of glazing on the side facing the equator, to maximize winter solar heating.

The problem is often that the optimal placement of windows overhangs isn't possible due to existing orientation to the streets or other features.
Meanwhile, the gas pipeline through Ukraine is quietly functioning.
You may want to read through blog of Lyn Alden: https://www.lynalden.com. She has good explanation of why US always runs deficit.
On all sides? India has seen massive GDP growth, mostly by acting as intermediary for products that Europe used to refine itself. Europe on the other hand is in recession and has a massive economic crises and rising populism on its hands. While Russia has a small contraction ~2% it's nothing like what quite a few of the European economies are facing. Meanwhile Russian sanctioned companies made more profit since the beginning of the war than the entirety of 2021 thanks to idiots like Ursula von der Leyen and the children book author Habeck. I'm absolutely baffled at how you think the war is at a stalemate when even the western analysts that have infinite praise for Ukraine are admitting unsustainable casualties of both Ukrainian trained troops and military hardware.

Hardware does not grow on trees. It has to be built with energy and resources. Where do those come from? Usually when you pick a fight with a big warmachine you don't just dive in nose first, you first build your energy independence and then join in not the other way round.

For example the "The Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies" describes this shitshow in the following way:

> In short, US annual artillery production would at best only last for 10 days to two weeks of combat in Ukraine. If the initial estimate of Russian shells fired is over by 50%, it would only extend the artillery supplied for three weeks.

> The US is not the only country facing this challenge. In a recent war game involving US, UK and French forces, UK forces exhausted national stockpiles of critical ammunition after eight days.

>People like these are the reason why some employers will never trust remote employees.

So what? Those are irrational beliefs. Why should we care that someone never trusts remote workers?

You can never be 100% secure against fraud just like you can never be 100% secure against hacking.

We should certainly try to reduce the incidence of fraud, but only if you don't sacrifice the ability to hire who and when you need to.

But it’s not so expensive you can’t do it. If you cache it’s probably not even so expensive anyone will notice compared to the equivalent PHP process. And it would be a massive operational, usability, and performance improvement to the actual server.

Otherwise you’re just saying “I can’t write Go like PHP” - no shit, that’s a good thing.
If it is a critique of critiques of socialism, if it is mocking "right-wing fantasies," then how unfortunate for the story when they come true.
> Fit and finish has absolutely collapsed in recent Apple software.

Bugginess abounds more than ever in Apple's software, and I'd love for them to take a cycle off and just work on fit and finish and bugs rather than features. But to be fair, if you're judging against the experience of using Windows, well let's just say that's a low bar to beat.

As far as Linux desktops go, I think the way they run very solidly these days is phenomenal, but I don't think they solve everyday problems (things that watches and phones and other devices can do) as well as Apple. If you embrace Apple devices and services, you have a whole bunch of tools that work phenomenally together in smart ways. I don't think Linux really can match that whole package anytime soon.
The violation was in creating secret accounts to use for bribery, not the bribery. It would be bizarre for the US to prosecute for the bribery, since a large part of US (and other countries') diplomacy is to bribe decisionmakers in other countries with favorable treatment in return for them buying from our vendors, and to offer foreign aid in the form of products and services from our vendors.
I think a mini car would tank Apple's brand value significantly, especially if you think about the type of die hard apple fanboys who would be the first flock to hit the streets in these things. All it takes is a couple of people getting into some pretty dumb accidents to make people turn against them (the same way people judge BMW and Tesla drivers but probably to an even greater extent tbh).
They mostly see it in tribal or for mana or oddball abilities though. Old magic really over-estimated stats and combat abilities, you’d get heavy downsides on anything even passing the vanilla test (cf mogg jailer or mogg squad), especially out of color. And under-estimated fast mana and card draw.

It appears you've countered your own complaint.
Does the WebSockets protocol now have some kind of built-in keepalive/ping functionality? Something like that is practically necessary for any long-running idle connection on top of TCP. Without built-in keepalive, the application would have to stay running just to handle pings, right?
well as long as you learn the language
Speculating here, but I would read this as "anycast" as a concept, where each user is connected to the closest location. versus anycast as in the IP protocol. The complexity far outweighs benefits with routing each UDP packet to different servers within the same session.

Sure it could. But on both NS1 and NS2? At the same time? Very unlikely.
Seems like something that could have been made safer just by name spacing it a bit better.

Something like “window.elements.myDiv”? I wonder why the decision to go straight to the root.
Same as "mils" for thousands of an inch. It's actually wildly popular in the US.
This seems similar to a common justification for school uniforms. If everybody is made to dress the same way, we can eliminate the bullying that comes with letting people choose their own fashion. Of course, the bullying continues anyway.
You can easily break Stern-Gerlach by spreading the “measurements” super far apart, so far that interactions with other matter destroys the effects of the first measurements.

It’s incredibly easy to lose coherence in other quantum experiments as well.

> It's going to be burned into CO2 anyway.

No, because if the pipeline is not used, there is an incentive to slow down methane extraction and transport on the Russian side.

But if they can send it in the pipe and make it leak to piss the EU countries off, on the other hand...

> If anything, methane is a bit better than CO2 in the long run.

Hmm... I wonder where you read that because actually it's the contrary:
https://www.epa.gov/gmi/importance-methane

After degradation, the methane is transformed in the exact same CO2 it would have become if someone had burnt it, thus it still the same long term pita in addition to the short term headache it creates.
The words "left" and "right" are flimsy and one-dimensional for this purpose, but the basic dichotomy they're referring to in this context has deep roots in historical thinking: whether it's right for people to have whatever they can get vs what they need— with the choice of moral framework indicating who "deserves" status and advantages; the former being the meritocratic/libertarian/objectivist sense, or the latter the communist/liberal/christian sense. In either case "right" and "left" are poorly matched, but come on, you know what they're talking about.
> when you say distribute the database to 50 servers all these are shards, correct?

Yes, these are separate server instances that are essentially separate from each other. All of the records for a given user live on a single particular server. Although MySQL doesn't do this kind of partitioning inherently, this kind of partitioning can be implemented in the application.
one wonders if anonymouse008 was referring to people in businesses or not, and if so, it begs the question of whether or not your response is a clear escalation that has little to do with the initial conversation.

One then wonders if Christopher Columbus had a higher calling with his plans on slavery, or if the leaders that enabled bringing so many african slaves to America should themselves be thought as having a higher calling.

Or is this just nationalism rearing it's ugly head?
Yes this happened in my company recently. We took video screenshots and compared faces and fired a few people. But a lot of people were hired before they knew this was going on.

It's such an outdated stereotype. And it's especially funny considering how "greybeard oldschool" stuff like Linux distros, utils and packaging seem to have a lot more of an "endless stream of new stuff" right now.
Europe knows the US mistreats us, it is no secret. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was a UK submarine under US instructions for example. We know how the US spy on us, spy on private companies to favor their own, mess with our currencies, isolate us and exploit us. Uses us as cannon fodder. We remember all the times the US was caught spying on our leaders, deciding our elections, threatening invasion and abducting people. We have seen the news and read the cables. We remember when Obama told us they would not kill US citizens without a trial, only foreigners like ourselves. We know how foreign policy works. One day maybe we'll have the abnormality of leaders that work on the best interest of their people, maybe then the US will learn the world remembers. Nothing lasts forever.
Eclipse Temurin OpenJDK Now Supported by Red Hat
Yes, question friendliness is beneficial!

Somewhere along the line in school I realized that whenever I had a question most often many other people did too. I lost my fear of asking questions after a lot of feedback from others: "I'm so glad you asked that question, I was completely lost!"

In my career I realized that nothing had changed, and that asking for more clarity is almost always a good thing.
It can't exist by definition. Or if it can I'm not equipped to visualize it.
Yes! Marty Weiner and Yashh Nelapati. Appears to be a different talk though. Nice find.
This is true, but that's up to locals to decide what's acceptable in their society and not. Look, Ukraine, Russia and Nigeria are some of the most corrupt countries on the planet -we even have relatives of sitting presidents doing business with a few of the most corrupt governments, do we stop doing business with them, or do we stop aiding them till they adopt our morals?
Infinite is a word like forever.

We have no problem understanding "ten minutes more than forever" makes no sense (other than as hyperbole), but a surprising number of people are unable to grasp that "one more than infinite" makes no sense.

Next up: The word unique, and why it similarly doesn't make sense to qualify it with phrases like "the most unique."

I have been on the other end of this. I received an email offer to attend these hiring interviews and meet with customers while not doing the actual dev work.

Too sleazy for me. I'm basically selling my brand to another company. If companies get smart and create an employee blacklist, it becomes a lot harder for me to be employed down the line. (Hrm, maybe I should start a blacklist.)
Why are you bringing politics into this? GP did not mention politics at all.
Without a doubt US American sabotage.

During the days and weeks leading up to Russia's move into Ukraine, the US rhetorized over and over again about Nord Stream. All the time the main issue was that the EU must not buy LNG from Russia, it must agree to USAs "energy dominance" politics and buy LNG from them and only them.

This is a way to make sure that when winter comes, the EU has nowhere to go for LNG but to the US.

It's getting more and more clear that the one major obstacle to true US hegemony is not Russia or China, it's the EU with its strict principles, laws and regulations, and that the US is working hard to wear down this resistance and force the EU into dependence and coerciveness.
This is probably naive question, but if the main concern here is remote assistance (at least that is my impression without following this too closely), why not just flood the room with wide spectrum EM jamming? I mean, let Niemann have his bluetooth buttplug if nothing can communicate with it.
We've seen AWS go down. It's sort of a "haha, look at how much broke" but mostly it's a bunch of images don't load and maybe a few communication apps like Slack fail. 99% of the sites that go down are sites that really don't matter at all.

Obviously if you need uptime better than AWS, don't use AWS, or use AWS and someone else. The reason people are fine accepting this is because the impact of "50% of the internet goes down" is hilariously unimpactful - 99% of the internet is just not anything to care about.
Absolutely! I made a comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32668694 just recently about this. My company hired a guy who passed their tests, yet the guy who joined us for work was barely able to move a mouse around the screen, let alone get stuck in as a "Senior DevOps Engineer".

After we finally fired him I did a little digging. His resume was very similar to 100's of others found across linkedin, a list of devops keywords basically. Almost all of the people he had "worked" with in a previous company had the same text and even looked very similar.

I'm pretty sure that the company gets these people in the door and they try to last as long as possible earning western senior dev salaries. Rince and repeat a few times a year and it probably earns them a decent amount.

Not anymore. This war has shown how crap Russian equipment is. Those who are not allowed to buy from US will start buying from China.
I dealt with a number of people who weren't who they said they were in my last bout of hiring.

There's typical ones where an engineer will stack their resume with buzzwords that they don't understand at a basic level. An example of this is putting Kubernetes on ones resume but not being able to explain the different workloads. People don't often call this fraud, but I do when it crosses some magical threshold. The reason I call it fraud is that fraud, to me, generally implies intent to deceive. About a year ago I discovered on Reddit there were people coaching others through lying on their resumes and in interviews with the reasoning that "everyone does it" and "you'll learn on the job".

The second kind I've encountered is more analogous to what you experienced, though we never hired any of these folks. Retrospectively I think one of the things that helped us avoid hiring these folks is that we don't refer to an engineers provenance. Early on I took the stance that just because you say you're from Google, or any other large engineering firm, doesn't mean you're the right fit for the team. We had candidates invest in a 2-3 hour take home exercise that was pretty easy, it mostly tested your API design skills but because it involved code we got some good peeks into what that would look like in a contrived scenario. Second, we ask that candidates bring an example of projects they've worked on, starting with ones they led. This one is a little harder to fake the funk on, especially if the candidate is Senior+.
I agree. It feels weird to attribute to cooling effect of the structure to the little holes and not to the thousands of tons of stone that can absorb heat. I just moved into an older building and it remains very cool. No jaali to be found, but plenty of old masonry walls.

Off topic: Why does WhatsApp don't give the option to block all calls and texts by default? That way, I can only talk with folks I want. The signal app has that option. Random businesses can send you texts to promote their shity services (typically, your number is grabbed from data brokers or leaks). Of course, you can block and report such spam, but there is no DnD option right now.

Sort of, but they don't let you control things like... climate control, etc.. There's no real reason those APIs can't/don't exist as long as they have proper safety mechanisms in place.
