If Russia were supplied with precision weaponry they would be trading casualties more evenly with Ukraine, but they aren't getting anything like HIMARS or Javelins. Most of it falls under sanctions and there's little reason for erstwhile allies and trading partners to help, because they recognize that a Russian loss here is an invitation to plunder what's left of the country. The ability of the world to shrug off loss of Russian energy is directly correlated to Russia's bargaining position here, and now that a major pipeline is down, the issue has been forced.

What the battlefield figures point to is that while Russia can hold a line, it's using much more ammo to do it, and this strains their supply logistics, which are further pressured by long-range missle systems. Adding more troops when you're already supply-constrained means falling back on a Soviet-era strategy of throwing bodies at every problem and, most likely, letting some freeze to death stranded without even entering combat.

However, modern Russia doesn't have the demographics necessary to hold out in a meatgrinder. The Red Army was able to do that successfully because they were drawing from a younger and more agrarian population that could be "born to die". As soon as your draft starts eating into older urbanites with skills, careers, and families, unrest is going to get out of control and put national sovereignty at threat.

There's a reason why modern armies have moved towards a professionalized approach since the mid-20th century: it's a lower-footprint method that sustains high tech industries, and therefore is easier to gain support for. The entire narrative changed when it stopped being a "special military operation" and they announced mobilization: there's no more illusion of it being a professional war.
It was in Monterey too and maybe earlier.
They have political power: they can vote. But they keep voting for the party that causes these problems, so I don't have any sympathy.

I just really hope the onboarding experience is improved. Right now it's very convoluted and messaging is extremely difficult, in some places impossible.

For example, in SFSafariViewController there is no “add to home screen” button in the share menu, but in actual safari there is. Despite them both being web view experiences controlled entirely by Apple.

(And you can’t detect SFSafariViewController vs Safari as a web app, so good luck onboarding users for your PWA.)

Why not?

Show HN: Granted CLI – manage multiple AWS profiles in your CLI and browser
Hey all!

We've been working on Granted CLI for a while now and this is our first time posting it on HN. It's an open source CLI tool that aims to simplify workflows for people with multiple AWS profiles and accounts.

Here's some examples of commands:

`assume cf-dev` assumes a profile named cf-dev in my ~/.aws/config file

`assume cf-dev -c` assumes the profile and also opens an AWS web console in my browser of choice

`assume cf-dev -s ec2` assumes the profile and opens the web console to the EC2 dashboard

We've designed this to leverage your browser's native container/profile functionality to allow you to quickly open multiple AWS profiles in different tabs, while also being able to assume the role in your terminal for any CLI work you need to do. Works on Mac, Linux and Windows.

We're working on this continuously so we're keen to hear any feedback. Feature requests and critique are more than welcome.

The Getting Started docs are here for anyone who wants to check this out: https://docs.commonfate.io/granted/getting-started/
I think if you really tried you could make it work but there are a lot of ugly and unique tradeoffs to work through. Something like this could work:

foo((lambda x, y:
for i in range(x):
y += i
return y),
20
)
There are already some languages like this. Lojban, for example.
I interviewed there and got a job many years ago.

They are very smart. And weird. During my final round with the CTO I was waiting for him in his office on a couch. The couch was in a living room-like area of the office. After a few minutes of waiting I turned around. The CTO was sitting there staring at me; I've no idea for how lone. I stared back, then said "hi, I'm moeymo1. Are you Mr. X?" We started the interview.

They are conservative because the owners "like getting their dividend check and eating caviar" I was told. Apparently they tried to expand internationally in the 1970s when an employee wanted to move home and start a warehouse there. It turns out "home" was Iran, and the warehouse and its contents were seized after the revolution. That apparently put them off international expansion for a very long time.

They can pay big bonuses like financial firms. I didn't take the offer because they were too odd. Years later I ran into a woman that used to work there. Apparently they are super, um, not nice to women, at the exec level. She left for Grainger.
I've seen alt+f4 not have the desired effect (minimising the app or sending it to the tray instead).

Deliverability is the bigger concern in such cases. Especially for business emails. Gmail seems to have the best deliverability among all that is available.
There was a post I read a while ago detailing it but I forgot where. The gist of it is that it’s a custom protocol and format that goes back decades. These days clients try to implement lots of features client side that were not imagined back when the protocol was created so it involves massively inefficient actions.

I forget the exact action described but I believe it was renaming a folder requires downloading every email in the folder and then uploading them all in individual requests which takes minutes. Stuff like this plague the protocol and hold back email clients. Rather than spending dev time building the best client, they waste it wrestling a protocol that has long outlived its usefulness.

This is the kind of attitude and response I would expect from a 9 year old, not a professional adult.

If you think you're not needed in a meeting, or the content isn't relevant, or someone else should be there instead, pretend you're an adult human and raise the issue. But if you're going to be in the meeting, pay attention. It's astounding to me that this could be a controversial statement.

Java Swing apps were portable across Windows, Mac and Linux desktops waaayy back in 2004 and probably earlier. Write once run everywhere _was_ very much possible back then.

The biggest complaint was they didn't look native. From working on a Swing application back then, management and marketing would often ask if we could make it look more like other Windows applications, because looking like a native Windows XP application suggested it was modern and cutting edge.

As soon an iTunes landed on Windows, the requests for UI improvement changed from "make it look like Windows" to "make it look sexy" - which meant different things to different people.

Electron, to me, feels like an attempt to take a browser engine and turn it into a poor replacement for the JVM.
I did learn some Esperanto for a few months and one point of view that stuck with me is that Esperanto can be thought as the recorder/flute of languages. That easy instrument you learn as a kid that everybody can learn easily how to play and allows you to learn music. It is indeed a language easy to learn and which can give you trust to speak it and in general give you a fondness and confidence to learn more languages. I think it would be very nice to have kids learn of it if only as a fun “gym” for language learning. The fact that it still has a small international community where you are all more or less “equal” in terms of communication capability (all are speaking a second language) is a fascinating additional perk of the language.

This is tinfoil-haberdashery. No, Biden did not authorize a clandestine attack on Russian infrastructure just to boost the US auto industry, nor did he subtly broadcast his nefarious intent months ago as part of some game to throw red meat to the conspiratorialists, Q-style. The US would have nothing to gain and everything to lose by engaging in such an action, and has absolutely no impetus to since it already currently has the upper hand in the overall geopolitical conflict. The pipeline can be repaired within months, and the sanctions were already going to last for at least that long. It buys the US none of the the things you mention, even in the fantasy world where someone thinks that those would comprise the US's grand strategic goals.

To be clear, with our current information, the sabotage makes sense for nobody, not for the US, not for Russia. The only reason people are attributing it to Russia is because, of all the people currently in the room, Putin is the one acting the most generally irrational. But if we assume irrationality, it could just as easily be any random entity; Iran, or North Korea, or Greenpeace, or mermaids, or the shambling, zombified corpse of Abraham Lincoln.

Most soldering that relies on effects from solder surface tension simply will not work without quite a bit more flux than you can get from the core of a solder wire. Drag soldering, for example, won't work on quad flat pack chips without quite a bit of flux.

And while my techs will absolutely back you up that my soldering skill sucks, to a person they ALL use solder flux for their soldering. Not even a single exception. And they're all trained to NASA aerospace standards.

Now, maybe you can be more skilled than they are and get away without using solder; however, back down here in reality, the rest of us punters will just add flux when soldering stuff, thanks.

> The problem is the people who live and vote there want the city to remain as it is

There's no good reason that Santa Cruz should specifically stay the way it was 50 years ago or whatever. Personally, I would have liked for Santa Cruz to remain the way it was before people came and tore up all the nature to build a bunch of suburbs, but I can't get what I want either. Culture is inherently ever-changing; Santa Cruz may be _different_ in 50 years if densification and growth was allowed but I don't see how it would be somehow not be Santa Cruz.

There are real, severe economic effects from trying to freeze a city in an arbitrary point in time. At some point the well-being of real actual people needs to be prioritized over the aesthetic preferences and property values of a few NIMBYs. Especially when those aesthetic preferences essentially boil down to hating multi-story apartments and public transit.

I had a junior EE come and find me while I was on a smoke break to immediately inform me that he had mixed up two connectors and had accidentally put 48V into a piece of kit that could only handle 12V, resulting in $10k worth of blue smoke. That’s what a high trust engineering org looks like. He could have lied about it, I didn’t see it happen, “I dunno I went to reboot it and it didn’t power back on”.

That’s what I want to see. He was open and honest with me because I don’t feed him bullshit.

I did a couple of contract-to-hire positions and found it a great way to get to know the company, the people I'd be working with, and the type of work I'd be doing. As well, it was a way for them to get to know me and my work without a convoluted 3 month long interview process full of useless whiteboard puzzles, personality tests, and silly questions like "If you were a sandwich, which type of sandwich would you be?"

It can be precarious having nothing long-term lined up, but at least you're working and getting paid. More precarious would be having nothing long-term lined up and just sitting around hoping for a call back for yet another round of interviews.

Of course if you have other immediate offers, that changes things a bit. But that doesn't mean someone who doesn't is somehow desperate or the least qualified. When so many companies take so long with their hiring process, even good candidates don't usually have immediate offers.

The sweet spot is taking a contract-to-hire in your spare time while you're currently employed, so you can make the switch cleanly without months of downtime, uncertainty, and financial stress in between. And without most of the silly interview games. Gives you time to wind down, document, train somebody at the old job, and when you start the new one you're ready to go from day one.

The older I get, the more I respect bigger user interface elements and text.

It's not even failing eyesight either; I'm still in my mid 30s and have great eyesight and dexterity. I've come to respect bigger interface elements because they are quicker to work with.

I don't have to peck for a title bar if it's there, big and empty in front of me. I don't have to hunt for a scroll bar that hides itself and reveals a 1px wide sliver if I hover over it just right, if the scroll bar is big and always visible. I don't have to aim my mouse like I'm playing a fucking sniper in a fucking FPS if the buttons are clearly texted, colored, bordered, and large.

Being able to /just fucking use the interface/ with broad motions is a fucking godsend. The trend of minimalism, hide-everything, gray-on-white interfaces gets in my way and wastes my time and nerves.

As we hit the backside of the carbon pulse that gave many of us a standard of living that Kings could only dream of as few as 200 years ago, the need to build things for the long term will once again take precedent.

The ability for governments and institutions to paper over reality shouldn't be underestimated, but we're eventually going to have to trade power coupons for natural resources, and those resources are finite, and the difficulty of extracting them from the earth is increasing.

> That's also currying right?

No, currying is the transformation that takes a function f such that f(x0, x1, ... xn) = r and returns a function f' such that f'(x0)(x1)... (xn) = r.

Haskell doesn’t really have currying so much as having only one argument functions and a syntax for defining them that means one way to define a function that works like the result of currying a multiargument function looks a lot like defining a multiargument function in other languages.
Sweet, thank you!
Yeah hence my original comment. Imho proportional rep doesn't actually solve the issue, it punts it towards the other end of the power spectrum where you get eternally deadlocked governments because no one has enough power to push through meaningful changes. Approval voting is the simplest way of fairly building that support base.
Too low? Too high?
Both on my main machine at home and in the office, I have a 32" 2560*1440 screen and a 24ish 1080p (they work out more it is the same pixel pitch) beside it, which I often effectively use as three portrait screens, sometimes using FancyZones so that the divide on the 32 isn't right in the middle. The setup is a bit tall when sat thought, potentially causing neck strain, but I tend to use the standing desk in up position so that isn't an issue. Tall screens are much nicer than landscape IMO.
