I don't think we would do this, we have enough problems of our own that both, take precedence over Ukraine, and are frustrated by the Ukrainian situation. Looked at in a certain light, we're incentivized to stay out of this. That said, our policymakers have shown themselves in the recent past to be, well, not the brightest bulbs. So anything is possible.

But this just smells like different nations in Europe going rogue. Probably good intentions, but it strikes at the national interests of other European nations. It's an escalation as, previously, dual interest assets were not targeted explicitly for the purposes of keeping all western nations aligned.

They are playing with fire at this point. I hope we don't get dragged down with these people.

Interesting that he is willing to deal with receiving money from AdSense, but not willing to deal with receiving money from sponsors. Sounds like an opening for an AdSense-like middleman except for sponsorships, so he could just receive money from one place instead of dealing with multiple customers.
If Apple sold phones in Russia, do they also have to delete those apps there? If the answer is yes, that's very troubling, and it goes beyond complying with US regulations IMO.
The $8 million disgorgement fee is the estimate of the profits gained from these bribes.
I can pretty much guarantee you that, for every person who is well-known for "inventing" something (especially in the 20th century onward), there are generally a whole lot of other people on the same project--or who were working in parallel on similar concepts elsewhere or who created something that was refined by the invention--who deserve at least a passing nod as well.
Why would the US do that?
Yes exactly. Currently there are slight quality differences depending on the chosen language. We're working on improvements in all languages.
I remember the old trick on MacOS of calling `getNextEvent()` instead of `waitNextEvent()` to make sure no other processes got CPU cycles.

Worked generally okay until the era of the Internet came along and after you quit the game, all manner of programs would crash when the network stack suddenly found itself teleported an hour or two into the future and couldn't cope.

>"I'm really getting tired of this kind of take."

Which take is that? An opinion or outlook that differs from your own?

>"You never really see that if AWS adds a product, or GCP adds a product or any other products from bigger CDNs."

Sure, you do. When AWS released it's DocumentDB(MongoDB competitor) and "Open Distro for Elasticsearch" there was plenty of uproar, both form the companies behind these products as well as the community. Those concerns were also registered on HN.
They could have been fitted with explosives before for some reason and it was triggered by accident.
I doubt it. It seems quite apparent that Thompson just wanted to take another stab at creating the next generation in the B -> NB (New B) -> C -> Go family tree. It would have likely been named D if the name wasn't already taken.

Pike slapped his Newsqueak's CSP paradigm on top and the rest is history.
Yes, it causes mistrust. But the benefit is not big enough. Russia needs insecurity on the one hand, and a possibility to give some kind of security. By blowing up the pipes the limit the movement of the German government.
> Surely Russia has no interest in sabotaging the pipelines that give them leverage over Europe.

Does this not give them even more leverage over Europe? There's no longer simply a switch that Russia can flip to resume the flow of gas into Europe and previously only Nordstream 1 was shut down (please correct me if I'm wrong).

It's not so hard to imagine tactics to compel Russia to flip a switch, but repairing these pipelines now will be a massive effort. You could not coerce another country into repairing these, you would have to really work with them.

Additionally this is essentially a real attack on Europe. Winter was looking bad enough as it was, now, depending on the damage, Europe may be forced to go through their hardest winter ever with no option of negotiation.

At the same time by not declaring that this is being done Russia avoids direct retaliation.

I think the message here is that window for "you lift the sanctions, we deliver natural gas" is over. Russia is becoming more desperate, Western powers are used to it being the case that when an adversary become desperate you slowly start getting what you want. I believe the message here is that as Russia gets more desperate, it also gets more dangerous, so be careful your next move.
So that doesn't look like an accident. I have difficulty imagining accidental ignition in an underwater gas pipeline. Where would the oxygen come from? Plus it's more than one explosion on the same day - can't be a coincidence.

The next question is, who did it? It doesn't seem like something in Russia's interest, they've been wanting to get that pipeline approved and operational. They invested huge sums of money to build it after all. So was this an EU country? The USA? The Ukraine doesn't have resources in the Baltic, right?

That's an intriguing mystery.

Piketty has studied this stuff extensively and thinks that Europe needs to move towards a USA style Federalist system or it is otherwise doomed.

I'm pretty sure we are in a phase where corporations and authoritarians have coopted the political engagement of lower socioeconomic classes thru identity and economic issues vs the traditional labor base of unions which is a threat to personal safety and democracy world wide.
I could have sworn google did that for some malicious apps once.
A more down-to-earth example: Evernote is (almost entirely) on MySQL. Since most of the stuff is "yours", it's fairly easy to shard partitioning by user. And the global stuff which is not that much (users/auth/etc) is stored in beefy replicated instances.

Newer features are being built on other data stores, and some things are being migrated away, but the core stuff is still in MySQL.
Perhaps the word most was too loose, but yes, I understand the history. I also understand that what reporting that came out of Russia was mixed, and heavily propagandized by both sides, so if you were living through it, and were in the Western world, it was hard to know for certain exactly what was and was not true, and what the real causes and effects of what was going on were, until years later. Historically, the breaking point for many in the West to give up on the USSR as a clearly totalitarian state, for which excuses could no longer justify their actions, was the suppression of Hungarian revolution.
Regarding performance: we've been collecting (anonymized) data from real-world WebRTC calls for several years, and sadly it's no longer true that p2p routes are generally more performant.

It definitely used to be true that most p2p routes were lower latency than bouncing through a server at, say, an AWS data center. In 2019 we looked closely at this and it was fairly rare to see cases where latency was improved by switching over from a p2p connection to an SFU (media server) connection. Now, the reverse is true. It's usually the case that routing through a media server at AWS (or any other major provider) is as good or better than a p2p route between any two end users.

Early in the pandemic, we assumed this was a temporary thing. ISPs had not built out their networks expecting much upstream traffic. But they'd adjust.

well, ISPs have evolved. Now we see much better performance in general than we did early in the pandemic. But we still see better performance to "the backbone" than we do between ISPs.

Another step in the Internet become less of a decentralized network, perhaps.

> Russia wants the taps ON, not off.

Russia unilaterally turned the taps OFF repeatedly in the last months to keep Germany from meaningfully supporting Ukraine.
Not Poland. Not any country with a pipeline that can be similarly retaliated against.

There is disagreement, conflict even, between Putin and his energy sector. Effectively destroying these pipelines is a pure-Putin way of reminding disgruntled Russian elite whose still in-charge.

If not Putin, the UK, who desperately wants Germany to confront Russia, free of hopes not doing so will magically open NS1 or NS2.

Agreed. Not only the firouzja interview but also the post game interview after the magnus match. It struck me as someone cheating on a test and being unable to show their work after the fact. Alejandro was pushing back against his analysis even before the cheating allegations came out. And his apology interview was full of inconsistencies where he couldn’t keep his story straight. This video does a body language analysis of the apology. While I don’t think you can put too much stock into the defensive postures, his behavior and his story is suspect at best https://youtu.be/OK9ZkoSQNFs
No. I never said that.
icloud data isn't end-to-end encrypted, so there are undoubtedly some employees who can view icloud data.

Hmmm. Instead of modeling human relationships and helping others as debt/reward/cost. I believe it is psychologically healthier to think in terms of circles of trust.

a) Stranger. It is unlikely you will see this person again. It doesn't hurt to ask but don't expect much. We may shy away from asking as they appear rude/busy/angry.

b) Acquaintance. This is a coworker or someone in the neighborhood. We don't want to hurt the relationship. We occasionally ask for small favors and in an emergency we may ask for a big favor. We are tactful in asking for what we want. We reciprocate any favors.

c) Family. This is your best friend or your significant other who may be closer than your blood relatives. We trust them implicitly and will always believe they can never be wrong. We ask a lot of them but are aware of their own struggles and wait for the appropriate time. We are shameless in asking for what we want.
Analysts are not leaders by literally any reasonable definition. sometimes they don't even add own vision into the mix, but instead have to fill in somebody elses initial vision with details. Specifying technical architecture is being leader to some limited extend. But it is leading one aspect of the development, that all.

> The development process should be steered by the conclusions of retrospectives, not by some management vision.

Retrospectives are actually run by managers and whether they are useful or not depends primary on the person that is running them.

Then there are things like: setting priorities, negotiating with customers, negotiating with other teams or upper management, deciding what will be promised and what wont. How much of the testing will be done, what is the target quality, final decision on whether to hire or fire people.
Hehe, seasonality and load-following... Some other discussions on this topic have people saying things like "just build more solar and wind, build twice as much or however you need to sustain the energy". So, a 17% increase becomes a at least a 34% increase in required new energy...

All these discussions (not just on HN, but in political contexts etc.) lack so much of long term vision and planning.

> "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."

I suspect that if SSD drives could be made faster, maybe we wouldn't need separate RAM chips. The SSD drives could be used both for long-term and short-term storage. That said, it feels like the author is referring to something more radical than that. It reminds me of a concept I read about which involves moving the processor to the data instead of moving the data to the processor. It all sounds very abstract at this stage though.

> "rather than relying on context switches. Cores dedicated to specific programs or services will minimize the need to move large amounts of data around"

Makes sense.

> "I wouldn’t be surprised if we eventually drop big-O notation for a different, more powerful model of computational complexity."

That's going to be a tough one.

I sincerely hope that the decade of the 'big refactoring' is upon us because I'm getting tired of all the layers of complexity which have kept getting piled on top of each other over decades.

In literary analysis the author's intention is generally not viewed as the final word on how a story should be interpreted. There's an extensive debate around this question of authorial intent:
https://www.britannica.com/art/intentional-fallacy
While it's interesting to know what meaning the author might have had in mind, I personally wouldn't view it in a prescriptive sense when evaluating a story.
By the letter of the law, you’re mistaken.

it bears repeating that laws do not follow morality though, of course.

Personally: I find it deeply uncomfortable that nearly all tech seems to come out of the US, where sanctions and rules are applied unilaterally, with only relatively minor pushback.

I have even had issues supporting users when I was transitioning from bare-metal to cloud due to US sanctions blocking Cuba, Iran and a part of Ukraine (Crimea) which is nearly impossible for us to avoid selling our product to accidentally, dooming anyone living there to buy a product that can never work.

Three of the four "strings", the actual pipes making up Nord Stream 1 and 2, were damaged, and at different spots along their length.

This is absolutely sabotage.
Russia turned the taps off in order to raise pressure for European concessions in order to turn them back on again. Germany has been tepid in its Ukrainian support because they want to have their cake and eat it, too. Now they can't no matter what.

With the pipes permanently broken (at least for this winter), Russia has lost that leverage.
Good for the users, as it will drive the creation of usable web apps. The majority of native apps should not be native apps.
Yeah. This is why I think those people are full of shit.

First, those people should look at his YouTube. Obviously he's capable of analyzing games. To think he'd be incapable of analyzing a game he just played? What? It makes no sense.

To think that someone, even if they were cheating in every game, was not a 2600ish rated player and to perform like Hans is just ridiculous. Every 2600 player can out analyze anyone who is a 2100 player (Botez).

The argument doesn't stand up at all.

> The benefit of consistency in this case would be that your git diffs aren't littered with irrelevant changes because someone prefers one convention and someone else prefers the other.

If you didn't care about consistency you wouldn't be changing others people code to be consistent.

You would make your own change and that relevant change remains inconsistent. That's it.

>Which convention is chosen as the default doesn't usually matter (unless some of the edge-cases raised by the other comments are relevant to you), but what matters is what when you look at a diff it isn't polluted.

Again the diff isn't polluted. It is simply inconsistent. This is different from two people battling over which convention to follow (which is what you are referring to). In the later case, yes you will see diffs where one person attempts to change the convention, in the former case you simply see a diff where the change doesn't follow a convention.
You might be interested in Durable Objects, which is essentially an actor model within Workers.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-workers-durable-obje...

Durable Objects aren't exactly the same as Erlang actors (which is why we don't usually call them "actors" -- we found it led to some confusion), but at some level it's a similar concept.

You can easily have millions of Durable Objects in a Workers-based application.

Currently workerd has partial support for Durable Objects -- they work but data is stored in-memory only (so... not actually "durable"). The storage we use in Cloudflare Workers couldn't easily be decoupled from our network, but we'll be adding an alternative storage implementation to workerd soon.
Another similar gotcha is that the global-scoped `name` variable must be a string. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/name for details.

var name = true;
typeof name; // "string", not "boolean"

Luckily, this is not true within ES modules which you probably use most of the time anymway.
