We have indeed been hating NS since the first pipeline was planned and opened. The reason for it's very existence has always been to squeeze us out of the picture.

However, it would be an enormous risk for us to alienate NATO in any way. NATO is our only protection and we know it. Without NATO we are extremely easy to conquer - Stalin made sure of that when he drew our current borders.

My money would be on a more extreme internal fraction in Putin's Russia. The objective: close the door on any voices in Russia asking to go back to the way things were.
Not only that.. a lot of developers, and “management” that wants to be involved with the tech side think they’re big tech in terms of:

amount of data to be stored. Amount of traffic / users. Amount of servers and services you need. Architecture, scalability, infra, etc etc.

Where is 99% of the cases a small group of people would suffice, no micro services, and in terms of infra, a cheap VPS is more than capable enough.

People just don’t have a clue, bc they don’t understand what actual work needs to be done.

That probably would be difficult right now, and very possibly has been difficult for a while.
> Is there a reason to not use querySelector

getElement is slightly faster, but not by enough to care IIRC so I use querySelector for consistency and it's flexibility.

> One reason jQuery became so popular is because the DOM was painful

I would say that is the key reason, with everything else being collateral benefits. Assuming you combine element selection, dealing with legacy incompatibilities, and function chaining to reduce boilerplate code, under the same banner of "making the DOM less painful".
It reminds me of “Nathan for you” when he held his own award ceremony so he could claim to be an award-winning filmmaker, or he did parodies of songs at open mics so he could then claim to be a renowned parody artist, before opening his famous “dumb Starbuck”

There was no extra costs involved per se. To "educate" the gifted children, you will incur some costs, be it on a regular public school or on a school dedicated to nurture this kids special abilities. What the political groups wanted, and in the end got, was a policy of not acknowledging that there are innate differences between children, and some are "better" than others. It doesn't matter that these kids, that frequent public schools in Brazil, are 100% poor. There is no rich kids in public schools in Brazil, I guarantee you that. The result is, this poor kids could have had a real jump start to their lives, but no. 10 years later they never had a chance, just stayed rotting in the garbage dumpsters the governments call public schools down here. It's the dangers of tabula rasa arguments, if you do not see reality in realities terms you end up hurting people.

Because these are from an "exotic" location apparently they are worthy of an article in a Western publication that treats them like some kind of amazing eco-friendly cultural marvel, when really all they are is just the best people could do before they had modern technology.

The most notable new feature is the rewritten command substitution parsing
code, which calls the bison parser recursively. This replaces the ad-hoc
parsing used in previous versions, and allows better syntax checking and
catches syntax errors much earlier. The shell attempts to do a much better
job of parsing and expanding array subscripts only once; this has visible
effects in the `unset' builtin, word expansions, conditional commands, and
other builtins that can assign variable values as a side effect. The `unset'
builtin allows a subscript of `@' or `*' to unset a key with that value for
associative arrays instead of unsetting the entire array (which you can still
do with `unset arrayname'). There is a new shell option, `patsub_replacement'.
When enabled, a `&' in the replacement string of the pattern substitution
expansion is replaced by the portion of the string that matched the pattern.
Backslash will escape the `&' and insert a literal `&'. This option is enabled
by default. Bash suppresses forking in several additional cases, including
most uses of $(<file).

Well, also the argument that they were looted and stolen in the first place.
Land or swamp?

edit: That wasn't meant to be derogatory. AFAIK large parts of that land will be swamp and mud if the permafrost thaws up. Even now there are large parts with no streets or railways, reachable only by treks over frozen rivers during winter, by sea if coastal, or air. And the infrastructures built on permafrost will suffer too, if it thaws up.

The same way as large parts of Alaska and Canada are.

Let's take a look at it. I'm sure Apple is getting paid in some way for CarPlay integration. Now if the next generation has higher level of integration that car manufacturers use it instead of their own built software, there's certainly money flowing to Apple.

So, let's say that Honda starts integrating it into their vehicles. In 2020, 1.3mm vehicles. Of course, initially, not every car Honda sells will have CarPlay installed, but a few years out, let's assume every vehicle does.

If Apple got 2% of the selling price of the vehicle. Across all Honda models, the starting MSRP averages out to about $32,091. So, on average, Apple would get $641 per vehicle sold. Over the course of a year (if every vehicle sold with it), just from Honda, Apple would get $833mm. Add in a few more larger manufacturers and it's not a bad investment.
The neighbors had a Tandy 1000. One of the lower models, I don't remember which one. It didn't have a hard drive, only had 384KB of memory (not sure, it didn't have 640k so it wouldn't run some DOS games I brought over), but it did have a 720kb 3.5" disk drive (which couldn't read my 1.44MB disks)

We mostly played around with Deskmate and GWBASIC, but my friends mother was taking computer science classes and gave me a floppy with Turbo Pascal 2.0 on it. That was a big deal.

I had a 386SX at home which was pretty low end, but this computer was quite a bit older than that, but she did buy it new. I remember the guy from the store coming over there to set it up, I want to say they paid $599 for it.
Maybe there should be a "reproducability risk" metric, calculated with the transitive closure of all published results that reference a paper that has yet to be reproduced. This could help researchers calibrate how much they should trust a result and indicate when a foundational paper really needs to be reproduced.
As the article points out, this initiative was an 90s IE one and the Gecko team (Firefox, post-Netscape) were against it.
I was taught to heat the wire and touch the solder to it.

This looks like they are laying the wire on the solder, then heating the solder - not the wire. Won't this result in a cold solder on the wire?
Is it like a writer's block ?
I noticed that there is a disproportionate tendencies between very creative states of mind and execution of things, usually when I am in the total opposite state where I have way too many ideas, I would be almost day dreaming about things, reading books or thinking about how people in the next 100 years would live, and by imagining myself in the far future, sometimes writing short stories, I would be able to turn something from that story into a project idea, of course the consequence of that is sometimes my ideas tend to be "too creative" for people to follow through, and there might be miscommunication happening.

the execution state of mind is totally different it is going in autopilot vertical thinking where you would risk tunnel vision on details that might not matter.

if you don't want to risk being too creative, maybe ask why you want to work?, what kind of existing projects would you like to contribute to if possible? or remember a time where you didn't have ideas drought.
So, er, how exactly would I prove it? Do you want me to share our code / db / etc we've worked on for past ~two years? :)

For one - how many wikidata classes exactly do you get from Wikineural? If I remember correctly, it can do four (person, location, organization, other). Our models do several thousands.

It'll likely annotate similar things in text since our model is also transformers-based (which is basically current state of art) - can't really do anything about that.

> I work in the tech industry. I'm somewhat rare in that I also work on my own vehicles, do my own maintenance, repair things, build my own stuff around the property, etc. A lot of coworkers at various places I've worked over the years view this as somewhere between "eccentric" and "slightly mad." "Why would you do that yourself, just pay someone else to do it!" is the common sentiment.

I feel like it's partly a consequence of a highly specialized society. I'm not sure how to fix it. There's an opportunity cost. Why would I change the oil in my car when it's $40 to get it changed at the shop? Since I don't change my oil, I now don't know the basics of how to jack up the vehicle, I don't understand how to use the torque wrench to tighten the drain plug and I'm basically missing all the fundamental skills so I got no knowledge to build on.

The other contributor, is that growing up in the city, in an apartment, there was never any opportunity to work with my hands. I still recall a shop class in high school. I got to use a lathe and a oxy acetylene torch. That was many years ago now.

Now that I'm older, I make conscious effort to learn how to do things with my hands. There are things that I still must outsource, when they are on a critical path. For example if the car is down because the suspension needs to be replaced, I'm not going to spend 3 months researching and fixing it. We need it now.

I've come to really appreciate the famous Heinlein quote:

> A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Im also very much attracted to the idea of a "renaissance man" [1] :

> Embodying a basic tenet of Renaissance humanism that humans are limitless in their capacity for development, the concept led to the notion that people should embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible.

"Specialization is for insects" indeed.

There's yet another option that you haven't noted - Poland is only safe in its gas reserves because of the Norway->Poland gas pipeline.

I don't think you've really processed The Murderer.

Bradbury was predicting that we'd have smaller slices of attention available, that we would choose to hyper-stimulate ourselves 24/7 and not choose to protect our time for quiet contemplation. That every moment would be filled with either important work messages or advertisements.

Bradbury doesn't even predict a way that this causes secondary harm. He just says "hey, this is how the future will look and some people won't be wild about it."

He nails it. That's exactly what our world looks like now.

His protagonist isn't a fan, probably Bradbury isn't a fan, but the explicit message is that most people will be in favor. If they weren't then we wouldn't have this kind of world.

So, ok, we can all decide what we think about that. The protagonist decides to destroy his company's equipment. The psychiatrist moves back to a life of notifications and buzzing. Life goes on and society continues to work.

The story is morally neutral. It isn't a complaint; that's the beauty of it. Bradbury is one of the few authors who often tried to achieve that kind of neutrality.
I'm with you on that. I am empathetic to the take that a candidate may view this tactic as industrious & resourceful rather than deceptive.

And as such, as I've stated elsewhere in this thread, I still review every one of these in earnest.
Hi, fellow HN'ers! Author here, please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts!
Forget "money" for a minute. Instead, think in terms of "stuff" - actual, physical goods, and also services.

Where does the stuff come from to lift every person out of poverty? There are only two possible answers - create more stuff, or redistribute the stuff that we have (or a combination of the two). Which one does Glo do, and how does it do that? Especially, "at sufficient scale", how would it do that?
Yeah, I'd actually be fine with locking stuff up if the stores reorganized their staff/purchasing experience so that you could still buy things easily.

For me, Best Buy was notorious for not putting their stuff - not even a placeholder - on the shelves, but still had it in stock behind the counter. So you had to wait in the purchase line to check if they even _had_ the item you wanted. Pre-covid, before online checkout was popular and expected.

Are they?

It looks like the way it's implemented, access to photos comes through a Photos extension to iMessage (I think I recall these being called "iMessage apps"?), rather than it being inherent to the app.

And options for the microphone similarly seem to belong either to the extensions, or to the system—which handles microphone input as a substitute for typing.

It's possible you're right, and I'm missing something, but that's how it appears to me.
If portability is your primary concern, then you want a POSIX shell, or at least to ensure that your bash is always in POSIX mode. There are lots of behavior differences when bash's POSIX mode is set.

Debian brought the Almquist shell in as /bin/sh, and is maintaining it with strict compliance to POSIX. This displaces bash as the system shell, but bash is still assigned as the interactive shell.

http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/dash/

This is an older standard for the behavior of the POSIX shell. There are many common shell features that are not here (arrays, networking, coprocesses, fancy substitution, and much more). Doing without them increases portability.

The median household income in Peru is far lower than that figure.

The typical monthly salary in Lima is going to be in the $300-$400 range (minimum wage is ~$270).

You could get to that $17k number if you had four incomes in one household though.
>>This would be fine if Treasury, Commerce & DOJ put the screws to foreign countries & companies who engage in this misconduct,

They do, but they level the playing field in other ways:

"That's right, my continental friends, we have spied on you because you bribe. Your companies' products are often more costly, less technically advanced or both, than your American competitors'. As a result you bribe a lot. So complicit are your governments that in several European countries bribes still are tax-deductible.

When we have caught you at it, you might be interested, we haven't said a word to the U.S. companies in the competition. Instead we go to the government you're bribing and tell its officials that we don't take kindly to such corruption. They often respond by giving the most meritorious bid (sometimes American, sometimes not) all or part of the contract. This upsets you, and sometimes creates recriminations between your bribers and the other country's bribees, and this occasionally becomes a public scandal. We love it."

Portability for shell scripts is over rated in 2022.

If your shell scripts are small, it's easy to write several versions of them.

It they are long, you should use something else than shell scripts for your program, like python.

Worse case scenario, provision the same interpretter everywhere, vendor it, or use a compiled language.

There are some edge cases where portability makes sense (e.g: you are scripting for an heterogeneous parc of routers), but they are niche usages most companies don't care about.
Cept in San Francisco, it swirls all the way from China and like 18% of the air pollution is from there. Like it was a suckafucking Japanese balloon bomb, the first intercontinental ranged weapon, only dent the Japanese made in the Manhattan Project was with that balloon. Very overpowered.

Email providers should publicly disclose how old an email address is, and email clients should warn about emails coming from brand new addresses. My gmail account is 15 years old, so any email I send is unlikely to be created just to impersonate someone else.

AI _SHOULD_ invent things!

imagine giving AI a prompt for an idea of a thing, which may require, say, PCB design...

and then having it spit it out.

"give me a circuit for a small camera, which connects wirelessly to a rasPI and can stream from multiple units" and it gives you the design of the PCB and gives you the BOM for the components off alibaba or whatever - or the sensors from TDK etc...

-

When we grew up before the internet we thought "wouldnt it be cool if"

and now we have the internet and AI and all that...

And we built that - so "wouldnt it be cool if the shit we built could build the shit that we again say 'wouldnt it be cool if we had [thing]'"
Ask HN: UI/UX design guides for early stage founders?
What are good resources that can help an early stage founder in how to think of the design of their app/website. Since this is early stage, I am not planning on spending a lot of time on the design, but would be great to have some guides/books that can help with the basics. For example a checklist of things that you need to consider with advice on how to pick each (font, color palette, basic layout, etc..)

Serious question, why should I care about portability to Apple in shell scripts?

Why not make all your shell scripts #!/bin/bash and anything where that doesn't work is trying to be a second class citizen[1] in unix and so maybe let them? Or tell users to install Bash - which they can probably do if they're using shell scripts..?

[1] Or maybe deliberately trying to break portability by market power abuse.

I know I don't need tell anybody here that Apple is not their friend, merely a supplier who will maximize their revenue at your expense when it suits them.

Everything got crushed by the IBM PC, including IBM. Largely because it was open (enough) and could be reverse engineered.

Apple is the only other notable survivor of the era, by its fingernails and $150 million from Microsoft in the late 90s to give the appearance of competition and appease regulators. Arstechnica has a great piece on this:
