What I had in mind by factions is more that Russia is not a monolith. There are many different interests and groups who might be pushing in various directions. Such “factions” wouldn’t be executing something like this entirely on their own though. I’m imagining something more like them pushing through a plan like this within the Russian Navy on the Baltic and then maybe getting a green light from the top to execute.

This is at least my own understanding of Putin’s Russia - Putin only explains who the enemy is and what the Pravda is. Stakeholders vying for power in his orbit then respond by bringing forward complete solutions. He can then reward the ones he likes and punish for the ones that he doesn’t. This gives him a layer of insulation from responsibility. No one can ever say for certain that he ordered the execution of this journalist or was involved in that war-zone hospital bombing. He only has to integrate such events as they happen and refocus attention on who the enemy is. Those factions vying for his attention are also probably sabotaging each other all the time as well.

Anyways, with the conscription rolling ahead in full force and the Russian media proclaiming that enormous losses in Ukraine are due to NATO help; I think there are powerful factions within the Russian system who are pushing for a return to a healthy EU relationship with gas flowing and access to Western tech. And then there are other factions who would prefer the war to continue to escalate. Nothing quite shuts up the former group like the destruction of critical infrastructure needed to revert to the previous status quo.
Mathematics is fine. Uncountable infinity is really only a problem in physics.
How are K&N filters compared to the stock filters? I am thinking of changing my stock filter to K&N filters but I have a lot of hesitation on how long it will last.
This is amazing. I wanted to add one thing. I noticed after reading the full blog post, and scanning through all the HN comments here, that there has been actually no mention, as far as I can tell, from any parties involved, or even any commenters, of any intention to make a police report.

Now, I understand not trusting the police, and often it's more trouble than it's worth to deal with them. But this is a situation involving identity theft, which is a very serious crime. I realized that this is an international situation and the local police probably cannot do much, but at some level of policing, be it the FBI or even at the international level, this feels like something that should be reported. Even if nothing can be done, in the worst case it's useful that the police be made aware of new trends in identity theft; in the best case, they will be caught. These people are organized to perform identity theft, which is literally organized crime -- I hope they are aware of the risk they are taking doing this.

Lastly, unrelated to the above, but just a random social aspect of this; it's clearly an interesting and unexpected result of location-based pay. The only reason I can think of that a group of people would organize something like this is because pretending to be native English speakers and presumably pretending to be US- or Europe-based will automatically get them a higher pay scale. (If I understand correctly, they are possibly a team of programmers in some other country, and are offering to actually do the work, but just pretending to be other people while doing it in order to get a higher paycheck.) Not making any judgement here regarding location-based pay, although that's an interesting discussion for another thread, but in today's remote work environment, new kinds of fraud are definitely an interesting consequence to be on the lookout for. Fascinating, and dangerous.

My rural northern maine town high school had a "Vocational wing" that taught classes from nursing prep, to childhood development, to cooking, sewing, running a greenhouse growing vegetables, heavy equipment operation including getting your CDL, a class to become a car mechanic, CompTIA+ certification class, entry level business management, etc etc etc. These programs are dirt cheap to run because the educators are paid pennies, and the equipment (computers, loaders, etc) are all local trash procured through people knowing people. Consider spending time in local school board meetings to vouch for these types of programs. Even the "traditional" students aiming for AP classes and 4 year college degrees love these classes.

For more urban places, look for makerspaces or hacker spaces. If you find one that doesn't have the stuff you are looking for, consider donating some entry level versions. One huge problem for urban centers like this is just how much space machinery takes up. You need a large open shop, and that costs a lot.
Leak has not be flared, and the Russian side has been shut in for weeks already. However, there’s 1200km or so of pipe that had gas somewhere around 107 bar average inside, and that must now leak.
I don't know, maybe stopping a full on military juggernaut led by a demagogue in power takes a more effort than a precision attack on an economic asset on an unguarded civilian (if strategic) asset with 500km long single point of failure
In China it's a bit different (or maybe the same thing): The key component is stuff being not very affordable than one's salary. This is no longer true for many Chinese so we are losing the arts anyway. For example my father was never a professional carpenter but he made his own wedding furnitures including a double bed. He did probably know some carpentry from his early work in the factory/farm though.
All Apple did is commodify the industry, and that business model has proven to be successful for them (same as it was with the iPod).

At the end of the day, Apple's contributions to technology aren't chivalric acts of kindness. Their ultimate goal is the same as everyone, running a rent collection business and relying on their services to make consistent income. That's what I think we need to fix. Apple can continue to make phones, we just need to separate their services (the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Podcasts, etc.) from their hardware business. If they did that, I might actually buy a Mac again!
Software Engineering Tips for Students
Depends on the use case and persons involved. Nevertheless, V is on a constant march towards 1.0, and has been doing so at a higher pace than most other languages.

And, its not necessarily an "either or" or "us versus them" situation, people can use both or whatever else "floats their boat". It's a bit disheartening to see programmers that fall into being so closed-minded or disparaging to other options or something new.
A decent portion of EU citizens think going without Russian gas is a terrible idea. And that's this summer. Just wait until it gets cold.
Going back is very easy. Most of the public wants to go back, and you can go back.
> We’re excited to announce the availability of a new PWA feature that closes this gap and helps blur the line between apps and websites even more.

I don't see how they can use "blurred line" as a positive trait here. There are important differences between native apps and web apps, why hide this information from a regular user, especially when this information can be conveyed by 30 pixels.
> Consider the set of all even integers

Nope, don't: Mathematical approaches to infinity do not work. Because all mathematical approaches are limited. And the infinite cannot be expressed by using the finite.

Infinity must contain everything that exists and their antithesis in it. If even one thing is missing, the infinity won't be infinite.

> but it is also not terribly interesting that it contains "contradictions"

It's terribly interesting. Because:

> the propositions "2 is even

The infinity must contain the antithesis of a proposition. The antithesis of 2. The antithesis of even. The antithesis of everything involved in making that proposition. If it doesn't, then its not infinite because it is missing something.

> Before September 15, Penpot’s CEO and co-founder Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz said that sign-ups were growing at around 40% per month: after Adobe’s news, that figure ballooned to 5,600%, and has stayed consistent since then. On-premise deployments have also grown 400%.

5600%! Good for them. I'm sure a lot of it was folks exploring options but I wonder how many of those new users will stick around -- anyone try it out and decide to make the commitment to use Penpot as a full replacement? Anything it still needs / hesitations?
Imaginary numbers are more real than transcendental "real" numbers, and much more real than the unnameable reals, which are almost every real. It's easy to set up situation that points to any algebraic complex number.
I don’t think this is correct.

1000.0 mm would be the same as 1.000m (or is it 1.0000?).

1000m has ambiguous sig figs.
There are laser wire strippers? Shut up and take my money.

Sure, the consequence of our IP regime is that there is a temptation to design to milk those failures as a revenue source.

With a different IP regime one could imagine incentives that allowed a "right to repair" where IP violation done as a part of a owner commissioned repair were widely accepted or a manufacturer forfeit's the IP when they cease stocking the part defined as "admit they don't stock it" or "do not have it in stock for 6 total months of a year"

Carlsen comes forward with cheating accusations against Niemann
I thought you were gonna talk about a company bringing you in for an interview but turned out they weren't hiring, just seeing who was out there in case they did need people. Meanwhile, I wasted my lunch hour doing what I thought was interviewing.
> Countable numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) are infinite

They mathematically are. They are not truly infinite. Because, they are countable and define-able as a set. They are infinite in only one direction.

> what you really want is the infinity of infinite information complexity

Still falls short. The infinity must contain the antithesis of information. And complexity.
...enter Greece.
Doesn't work with ordinal and cardinal numbers.
The usual argument that safer languages are needless, because bugs happen anyway, yet Apple is going Swift, and adopting hardware mitigations to fix these kind of issues.
For me personally I need people's cameras on as I find hearing a bit difficult (I wear a cochlear implant) so I utilise lip-reading to fill in the gaps.
Sure. As well as certain other platforms like Kotlin multiplatform

The only issue is that these still have to compile to JavaScript, which in practice leads to slower performance and potential for improper semantics on the JS side. It would be better to have them executed in WASM and then have better WASM-browser integration
Yes. Divulging the destination on a public platform is providing more identifying information than I am comfortable sharing.

It's funny that you'd think real-world espionage by intelligence agencies would be sending that data to headquarters rather than some random commercial VPS set up as collection infrastructure that is deliberately unattributable to the organization behind the espionage.
Of the top-tier best CTOs and Product Visionaries I've worked with, exactly NONE of them are competent coders. They know enough about coding to discuss implementation architecture, but actually writing code is not something they do, nor should they, since that requires keeping up with a zillion fiddly things they left behind to be able to see and properly guide the "big picture" product vision.

Someone who ties themselves to that level of detail thinking and keeps their expertise current (nearly a full time job in itself, these days!) can never develop truly great chops at product vision/conception, design, and the ability to build and inspire those teams to think in a way that leads to "insanely great" products. They are very different skillsets - there's a difference between a coder and a developer, and a developer and a product visionary and tech team inspirer.

BTW, as a 6-12 time (depending on how you count) CTO myself (including two venture backed with acquisition exits), coding interviews are a complete WOMBAT: Waste Of Money, Brains, And Time. I care about HOW you think about the problem and its relationship to the real world, since THAT is what makes simple, fast, "just works" software that people love to use.
To each their own, I see what you're saying though. They taste sweeter than a real apple should legally be able to taste. And yeah, availability is hit-or-miss, probably because they were invented so recently and there's just not enough propagated saplings yet to meet demand.
GroceryDB: 50k grocery foods characterized by degree of processing
Decent introduction to the concept of different infinities to the layperson.

However, this line:

> ... and some recent work has changed the way people think about the issue.

had me pretty excited I was about to read some brand new development. Alas, there is absolutely nothing new in this piece.
Hypervisor based os is future ,for eg qubes os
That's where I gravitate recently. I got a few more gray hairs learning and doing async Rust and I love the resulting program's speed and correctness.

But it's not easy to quickly prototype stuff with. Just recently I had to write no less than 7 small prototypes and I gave up on the second one, relearned Golang -- took me an hour -- and finished 3 prototypes in a day.

I tend to go all the way in languages so I can use them freely afterwards. But... In Rust's case I just can't justify the effort. Golang really helps you start off a project faster.

I'll still 100% Rust. I'm working on it every day. But indeed, let's use languages where they are at their best.
What a novel fucking concept
Yeah, in-person meetups. Depending on where you are, there may be user groups for programming languages or industries. Many of these tend to organize through Meetup.com
That, and greed. Looking at how many features car manufacturers keep behind absolutely meaningless arbitrary levels and packages, it's just ... argh
I for one welcome our Electron future.
An isolate is a runtime thing, not a deployment thing.

A regular javascript module can be deployed independently. And have its own version of dependencies. I'm just not seeing what this really adds over existing widely available, well understood options.

I guess protection from other teams uncontrolled monkey-patching is something (I don't think there's probably any legitimate reason to monkey patch something yourself in normal production -- why wouldn't you patch or replace the problematic thing?), but there might be other ways to deal with that short of a new runtime environment.

I'm a little worried truly independent updating... imagine starting a request with one version of the auth module but finishing it with another. Not sure people really want to have to account for that. (Maybe that's accounted for, so maybe an unwarranted worry.)
Not this way, but a few years ago we got an entire team of 5 people with a very specific skillset for a project and after the first week I discovered they have no such skills. Higher management in my company did not believe, but a month later they started to realize something is wrong, so they talked to the higher management from that other company with no good result. It took a bit over 1 year to terminate that contract.

Also about hiring fraud, I saw many positions that were advertised, interviews were performed, the "right" person was hired - all the interviews were fake, the positions were arranged for certain people from the very beginning. It is quite common in some companies and positions in my country, including international companies with local branches.
> I don't get why people think this?

Because, otherwise at least one thing will be missing from infinity, and it wont be infinite in that direction. And that's not the mathematical sense of directions, physics vectors etc. All of them are always limited and they cannot describe infinity. Infinity must be infinite in every way.

Its the opposite: A lot of people get stuck at a certain point because they try to describe infinity using mathematical concepts or thinking. Mathematics, which is a framework that is limited in specific ways in order for humans to be able to understand it and calculate through it.
Well right now, the alternative isn't "keep it in the browser", it's "ship it in electron".
I think you're right, but that also poses the possibility that Windows will get left behind, as a kernel. If the future of development happens on the web, the significance of Windows as a kernel is going to greatly diminish. We've already reverse-engineered a huge amount of Windows API calls, and you can run vast amounts of fairly complex Windows software without the NT kernel at all.

If our future does shift towards thin-clients and web-browsers, MacOS and Windows will make increasingly less sense. Both OSes have a pretty significant amount of cruft and unjustified overhead which already seems unnecessary to a generation of Google Docs and Soundcloud users.
Shell within shell is perfectly valid design for buildings and is found in nature as well. I am not an architect, am sure there are better solutions out there beyond what I know.

Popularity is not a good measure of something is better.

There are many aspects of ventilation that are actively studied still , it by no means a solved problem, just look at heating in London Underground for real world modern problem .

Closed areas and Smooth surfaces with leas surface area are terrible for radiation and air cooling . Buildings are not static objects they are heat sources as well.

Insulation and ventilation are different concurrent problems , some places need both equally , some need a lot of insulation and less of cooling and some need other way around . There is no one universal solution.

You are right I shouldn’t have called it closed minded . I gave it a charitable reading , reading back once more it is definitely racist not just closed minded , the parent post also called it culturally inferior not just technically so.

No need to cheat, just make a french "Tarte Tatin" with pears. Or apples, or prunes. Delicious either way.
A lot of art studios and makerspaces will teach basic woodworking and metalworking (usually jewelry or decorative though).
Plenty of mobile code, especially at large companies like this, rely on a ton of C code. It makes it easier to support features on both Android and iOS. I’m sure there are more benefits I’m not aware of.
Sure, I'd blame the city for not building a series of 100 story apartment buildings and not connecting them to San Jose and San Francisco by monorail - or least for not extending BART to San Jose forty years and thus not extending it to Santa Cruz twenty years ago.

Also for not giving me a flying car.

I mean, some portion of hn readers are technological optimists still in starry days of imagining massively productive technology would vast dividends for humankind. And why shouldn't they be. The world of today where progress somehow becomes the reason the average person gets less is fricken miserable and I make no excuses for not imagining it as normal.
To send emails from Microsoft Azure, you need to use a 3rd party SMTP relay service like SendGrid or Mailjet. Read this blog post to find out how to do that
The PineCil looks like a TS100 clone, though I'm not too sure which came first. The huge benefit of these microcontroller irons are their monolithic heating element that integrates the temperature sensor. This allows for much better temperature control compared to cheap Hakko-style irons where the tip is a metal piece that sleeves over the heating and sensing elements. It makes a very meaningful improvement in terms of the time it takes to heat up parts with high "thermal inertia"

I went to use your product and connect Google Analytics to give it a shot, but you haven't verified the app w/ Google, so you get a big warning. I closed out of the browser. Might want to look into that.
Yeah nothing in the UI is connected directly to a sensor these days. The UI is just a display for relevant data on the CAN bus.

Sensors have redundancies and detections in both sensing and communications so that the receiving end knows when there is an issue and doesn't display false information, resulting in an error code being thrown and displaying a "check engine light".
Ya, it's a big chaotic mess, but I wonder if we humans are somewhat prone to letting the apparent complexity of it (the actual complexity isn't actually known) scare us away from trying to make sense of it all. Look how much complexity about the physical world that science has come to understand, because we applied some of the sharpest minds we have to the problem, and funded them well.

If we don't even try (including if the idea doesn't even cross our minds), we may never succeed.
Amen to all that, especially the headphone jack. I'd respect the company more for these anti-customer moves if they'd be honest about it or just say nothing.

But the stupid excuses for removing the jack are insulting to consumers and make Apple look like assholes.

I wonder what motivates the on-going degradation of UI that was sorted properly for years. The insertion-point and keyboard failures mentioned here are examples, and then there's the (widely scorned) new notification UI on Mac. Half the time you can't even dismiss a notification because the peek-a-boo X disappears when you roll ONTO the dialog. And the "snooze," etc. options are often missing. And if you have more than one notification, they're shown as a stack and the only dismissal option is "dismiss all." There's no way to just dismiss the top one and see what the next one in the stack is.

Oh yeah, and while we're on this, how about the suddenly asinine Groups functionality in your iOS contacts? You used to go into Groups, pick the type of contacts you wanted to see, then go back to the list. For example, let's say you have a group called Doctors. You'd go in there, press Doctors, and boom you're browsing your doctors.

Now when you go into groups, you have to manually scroll through them and hunt down and un-check whatever group(s) you're currently viewing, and then select the one you want to view. Who the hell manages categories like that? It's especially stupid when you consider that you can put people into more than one group at a time.
The pipelines represented zero leverage at this point. No gas was being supplied by them and it would be politically untenable for any European country to buy it using these pipelines while Putin is still in charge. So as far as Putin was concerned (not Russia) these pipelines have zero value.
This is as imaginative a work of fiction as I've read in a while. Well done.
Do you think Microsoft loves it that people are building Windows apps with Google tech?

But this ship has sailed a long time ago.
I’m wondering if Amazon photos is a precursor to Amazon taking a second shot at building a new smartphone. The switchover cost from Apple to Amazon would be lower if files and photos were already synced, and Amazon invested a suspiciously large amount of money last Prime day to drive signups to Amazon photos ($10 credit to download the free app and sync photos).
Omega + 1 is an original number that is larger than omega, which is infinite. This is well defined mathematics.

There are an infinite number of binary strings 0.xyzw... that are less than 1.0, and 1.0 is the first number after all of them. Infinity + 1.
