I just found out about Lagom from this blog post and it's exactly what I have been looking for.

All other Python options I've seen feel too involved or leak too much into your code. Lagom seems to balance everything just right.

Thank you!

A gift card is not suspicious. A few gift cards, all originally purchased around the same time, are also not suspicious. People do receive multiple cards for special occasions, after all.

25-40 gift cards, purchased in several different countries over an extended period of time, that is what's suspicious.

In the first two cases, the most likely explanation is that the cards are gifts. I mean, it could be that I bought them myself, which would also be fine, but most likely I've just had a birthday or someone said thank you in a monetary way.

In the third case, the most likely explanation is that I'm a scammer, and have exploited ignorant people, convincing them to buy me gift cards, and I'm finally cashing them all in.

It isn't gift cards that are intrinsically suspicious. It's the pattern of behavior. If OP is indeed as innocent as they claims to be--and I see no reason to believe otherwise--then they are very much an edge case, with a very unusual pattern of behavior. That is the issue, not the cards themselves.
As mentioned in this thread already, it's almost certainly a parody of what an unsophisticated person thinks government forced "equity" measures would look like in a dystopian future. But in my opinion, if Vonnegut were alive today, he may find a little less humor in it seeing how far we've come in making his silly fiction closer to reality.

The author of 'How to Blow Up a Pipeline' is from Sweden.

Russia can close the valves and noone can do anything. But russia would want the valves to be the only obstacle between their gas and germany, so germany would always have an option to sit down with russia, make some kind of a deal, and the same day, gas could be reopened.

Now, with the pipes destroyed, it will probably take months to fix them, and even if people in germany protest against their governments, the talks with russa are pointless.

On the other hand, USA will sell a lot of very overpriced gas now to quite a few EU states.

That doesn’t help people who stumble upon this when searching for the problem. All the “look it up” response does is make sure the search results are a bunch of content saying “look it up”, which isn’t really that helpful.
Hawking Radiation is the process where virtual particles escape annihilation, and the surviving particle steals that energy from a black hole. If the black hole lives in space devoid of enough matter, it could eventually lose its event horizon, and explode.
Russia likes bridges, since germany knows that they only need to sit down with the russians and make a deal (eg. no more weapons to ukraine), and the gas starts flowing.

Now, even with internal pressures of protesting people in germany, there is no incentive for germans to sit down with the russians, and the only ones profiteering from this are the americans
Russia already supplied Germany via Ukrainian and Belarus pipelines. NS1 & NS2 were supplying nothing prior to this incident. Russia has lost nothing in leverage, but Putin has now gained leverage internally over energy interests who view this war (and Putin) as bad for business. Strategic narcissism is focusing on Putin's threats to the West, over his internal challenge of remaining in power.

The second woman on the video, Berta Ruck, has her own Wikipedia page. She was quite a prolific author in her day https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berta_Ruck
A plausible theory for why Russia has done this could be to avoid fines. It is likely that Russia has agreements with steep penalties for if they voluntarily don't provide gas like they agreed too (like what they are doing with Nord Stream 1).

Blowing large holes in the pipelines could allow Russia to claim that they cannot provide gas because the pipelines are broken, effectively avoiding the fines.

Not at all.

EU has been adamant that this was not the good time to go all-coal for example.

They could have done just that but no, the whole population and the politics are against (except in a few illiberal "democracies").

Even in the US there is a lot of work done recently to patch the methane leaks in gas fields, for example, which have been spotted as big emitters (by negligence or lack of enforcement).

A full Apple Car has always seemed unrealistic to me. Cars are a fundamentally different industry then consumer electronics and software. Apple would be starting from scratch, and facing a lot of entrenched competition with huge budgets and infrastructure.

And for what? What could Apple do that GM, Toyota, or Tesla couldn't? Maybe a better UX for the dashboard. And while many car UXs are absolutely terrible, improving them isn't some insurmountable challenge for existing manufacturers. And besides, Apple could just expand carplay and partner with car manufacturers, which seems like it would work better for everyone involved.

This is not "gas production in the EU", these pipelines used to transport gas produced in Russia to the EU.

The termination of their operation has been a done deal for a while. The US has no interest in sabotaging them: it's already a done deal that the US will supply the EU with gas instead of Russia:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-27/europe-is...

These facts won't prevent Russian bots from spreading conspiracy theories, in the service of Putin's murderous regime, of course.
Assuming the explosions are relevant, some possible causes, ordered somewhat (but not entirely) by my personal estimation of likelihood:

* Ecoterrorists -- I discount this mostly on the basis that they would have claimed responsibility by now.

* NATO sabotage -- this reduces strategic options for several EU countries (albeit a strategic option that isn't really being exercised and is almost universally disfavored).

* Russia sabotage -- this isn't terribly rational for Russia, but Russia has been unwilling to pursue rational options for a while. I can see someone in Russia thinking this will stoke anger in Germany (and the rest of Europe) that may create European pressure to force Ukraine to end the war (which is the most viable path I see at this point for Russia winning the war).

* Ukrainian sabotage -- pretty much the only actor for whom sabotage makes rational sense. Especially if it is a demonstration of Ukrainian cyberwarfare capabilities.

* Poor maintenance -- this strikes me as unlikely because NS1 is quite new infrastructure (2011), so it would have to be extremely substandard to have failed this quickly, and I believe most of the construction was done by European and not Russian firms, so I don't think that's at all plausible. But there may be some failure modes I'm not thinking of here.
> the only goal of a corporation is to maximize profits

Not sure what the economic model has to do with a company's morals. There are companies like Valve, AppWrite, Supabase and there are companies like Google, Apple and Facebook. Their ideologies are different, all of them maximize profits, nothing wrong in that but some of them choose not to exploit human psychology. This is more of a cultural and moral issue than an economic one imho.

At the end of the day, you have to choose what you wanna share. It's better to stay informed, nothing to lose.

> FOSS in itself doesn't guarantee anything

FOSS guarantees the way my data is handled and collected. Windows has backdoors, we all know it but we can't point them out specifically because it's not FOSS, there's 0 transparency, 0 care for user choice and I honestly do not like to live in a dystopia where spyware is the norm, which is why I support FOSS. It's the only true measure of maximum transparency.

Who has something to loose, something to gain, and the ability to do a covert military operation in Swedish/Danish water.

Russia did built it but they weren't gaining anything from having a non-operational pipeline. Just as much gas is being sold now as it was yesterday, and with all the investment and political effort going into the European energy grid right now, it is very unlikely that those pipelines will ever be operational again. No country in EU will ever want to become dependent on Russia again after this winter.

Who might gain from a perceived attack? Is there a country that is known to spin this kind of thing for political gain?

And last, who has a history of having submarines in this region and a reputation for repeatably ignoring and intruding into Swedish and Danish territorial waters?

No, you said: "You don’t need Node.js to write JavaScript."

Then, as evidence, you said your simple CRUD app doesn't need JS, linked me to some NodeJS projects, and told me that the web was working before NodeJS. Technically true points but not really supporting the idea that Go is the correct language to write web apps with JS in.

I don't blame you for exiting, it's not a cohesive conversation, but your quick dismissal of a question about NodeJS that you proceeded to undermine by showing me how most people use NodeJS to write their JS projects is... confusing
In modern GNU make it is generally advised to disable default rules anyways. I know some people try to do portable Make, but I am pretty over that idea myself, so if I do use Make, I'm using GNU extensions and GNUmakefile.
Not talking about pianos at all, but if you're interested in a solid laptop sound system, my dell XPS 15 has ridiculously good sound.

Highly recommended.

I own a relatively early Polestar 2 in the UK. It has been plagued with software problems, including a software update failing and bricking the car, requiring 3 different volvo techs to come and unbrick it.

Even with Google helping on the software!

Even now I'm stuck on 2.0 for some reason (2.2 is the latest in the UK). No idea why. Cant face the call to Polestar support and the inevitable reply of "Take it to a vovlo dealer".

The car itself is an absolutel monster. Love it to bits. The software not so much.
The use case is copy and pasting code, not learning how to write the code.
> "The basic concept of computing as a machine executing a stream of instructions, shuffling data back and forth between processor and memory, will eventually be abandoned in favor of more exotic models."

Hard disagree. Thing is compared to the size of an ALU, a register file, some SRAM, all of which are necessary for doing meaningful work, the control logic and wiring to turn the thing into a CPU is negligible.

I did signal processing related stuff work a living around a decade ago using FPGAs, and even those things had multiply-accumulate units and SRAM cells next to their programmable logic soup.

The guys next door did something similar, but they used DSPs, which were specialized CPUs, and the performance was a toss-up.

Thing is people (programmers) are a lazy and ignorant bunch. Looking at Geekbench benchmarks a 2022 CPU is about 4x-5x faster on a single thread thana a Core 2 Duo, a 16 year old CPU.

That means it's perfectly possible that a 2006 C++ program on 2006 hardware was as fast, or faster than a modern one (written in JS) on the computers of today.

Yes, modern hardware architecture sucks and the reason behind it is the pretense of a shared, flat memory space.
And even that abstraction is worthless, since you can't access any memory that's used by another CPU, without jumping through a ton of synchronization hoops.

But at least we have those wonderful cache coherency mechanisms that gave us side channel attacks.

Yes, the answer is to do away with this and find another way. The PS3 did this with Cell. It was the the future of computing. It's coincidentally about as old as the Core 2 Duo. It's also no longer around. But Javascript is, and its more popular than ever.

But I'm sure most of the problems outlined in the article were discovered decades before the PS3 was a thing and solutions were proposed then abandoned.

I'm sure there are CS people with many decades more experience who have seen these insurmountable problems solved, and the solutions abandoned many times over.
Before looking for a new job, put together all these things you have done in a paper to make a point for the salary bump. Request exactly the amount you want, the company might negotiate, so prepare for that (ask for more holidays or other types of compensation).

If what you said it's true, this is essentially just a matter of renegotiating your contract.

Yes it's disappointing, it should come from the company itself.

However at least you won't need to interview, just the negotiation phase.

The company is also kinda forced to give you at least a salary bump, or they know you will start searching.

Not everything related to learning requires perfect efficiency. Fiction is a fantastic way to take dry principles and make them relatable. Read those wikipedia articles and Harrison Bergeron if you really want to get the most out of those factual articles and fictional story.

Honest question, does that matter? Ie if we say that they can do it better than i can, hypothetically that means i'll have more downtime than them - yes? If that's true for everyone, then the internet will, in aggregate, be down less with CF than if we distributed better. Assuming of course that they can handle the scale linearly, and that it doesn't cause them to have a worse uptime than if i hosted.

So the question seems to be does the internet going down at the same time outweigh the internet being down for larger periods in aggregate? I don't know, honestly - seems like a tossup.

Is there a better angle to view this from?

edit: My issues with centralization are more about privacy, incentives, points of authority/leaks/autonomy, etc. Downtime seems the least concerning to me.
He’s talking about unnatural (non-idiomatic) language.

Incredible statement. Ever once heard of a military?? Entire sovereign nations are founded by these sort of people for whom you clearly have no respect, but that probably tells us about how useful you are to other people.
That doesn't make any sense. If the Russians wanted to stop the gas supply, they could just stop supplying gas. And they had already stopped.

Destroying the infrastructure doesn't give Russia an additional capability (degree of freedom). It removes the degree of freedom to restart supplying gas. And thus removes this option for Russia to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

I would say this is either the US, Ukraine or a EU state. To remove the threat that the EU later in the winter falters in negotations due to public pressure to turn the heat back on (literally).

The US has the additional incentive that they want to become the only gas provider to the EU via LNG terminals. That gives them an edge over the EU both economically and politically.

The Ukraine has the additional incentive that the remaining pipelines from Russia to the EU run through Ukraine. Removing the alternative options keeps the EU allied through dependence.
> IT professionals are such in high demand

This is a myth (Fachkräftemangellüge) and utter nonsense. If it were true, IT professional salaries in Europe/Germany would explode to the insane heights we read about from the bay area and FAGMAN companies. I can provide you infinite sources that explain that the average salary for software engineers in Germany is somewhere around 65.000 euro a year, before taxes. Even the vast majority of IT employees with "architect" in their name won't even make 100.000.
