Russia has lost the option to provide extra of that much needed gas to Europe, along with billions and years of investments into that infrastructure.

What exactly is this "internal leverage" and how is it supposed to work? Sorry, but this is really vague and unclear.
I haven't found that to be the case.

It doesn’t take much more sophistication to place these weeks ago with a timer. And a bit more tooling and you can place them and remotely detonate when needed.

Maybe, but that's completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
Russians are really intent on setting the clock back. Fighting in the Donbass, trenches, poorly equipped human waves, genocide through attacks on civilians and kidnapping of children. It's like Putin and co are stuck in WW2 (at best).
Great post! Very informative! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Read "how to win friends and influence people". You can be strongly opinionated but avoid the "expressing" part. If someone you're talking to is wrong it isn't your job to change their mind.
The short answer is that Wizards Of The Coast has an extremely tight grip on all Magic The Gathering events.

To organize an mtg event, you must use their shitty app, otherwise you cannot be an official tournament, and AFAIK are actually forbidden from calling it an MTG event alltogether. Supposedly this is the nintendo way of doing things where under cover of "quality assurance" and under threat of trademark litigation, you can enforce a very tight grip on your product ecosystem.

The longer answer is that as a judge, OOP has no control over the solution " chosen "by tournament organisers and the org has no control over the solution imposed on them by wotc. Wotc in turn has no incentive to improve their product for a lack of viable competition and here you are.

A lot of context lacks here. Is this in the workplace? In your life?

As other commenters have said, sometimes being less opinionated isn't good. There are some core principles that you maintain strongly.

But, if you really want to be less opinionated in a certain aspect, try to understand why would someone have a different opinion, in a compassionate way (that is, if your conclusion is "someone having X opinion must be ignorant/careless/evil" or something to that effect, you're doing it wrong). Usually, trying to put yourself in a mental situation where you'd have a different opinion will reveal arguments that you didn't consider before.
>> But why do they have to know your phone number and location? How can I avoid that?

> By not using a phone, because your carrier knows this information too and also sells this data (Apple does not).

What my carrier is doing has nothing to do with the problem at hand, which is Apple collecting unnecessary data on me. Not using a phone is not a (reasonable) solution to Apple invading my privacy. I can use another phone instead, which doesn't do that.

> It's trivial to turn off Location Services on an iPhone

Let me remind you that this thread started with "iOS sends a lot of data about your phone to Apple, such as your phone number, your unique device identifier...". How can I prevent Apple from collecting my phone number? You didn't reply to that, you shifted goals to location tracking of my carrier.
The implication is that the USA does it and therefore it doesn't need to have fascists and eugenicists in power and can happen in a democratic country.
Fastmail is a company providing email services. No company doing that can every give you privacy against a government looking at who you're talking to, when you're talking to them. Only a minority protect the content, and even then it's only when using a proprietary protocol.

The protocol itself prevents email from being safe privacy-wise. It feels weird to single out Fastmail for that.
Great question - I've struggled with the opposite, not being opinionated 'enough'.

I've noticed I tend to have more faith in other people's convictions than my own, assuming, essentially, if they believe in something, there must be a great reason behind it

My own opinions tend to be weakly expressed & weakly held. It's usually been good, allowing me to listen and understand others. However, growing in career, I feel my opinions not taken as seriously because the perception of their weakness.

What I've tried, maybe the reverse of it might be helpful:

1. Consciously reflecting that other people have roughly similar amount of self-doubt, even if they don't express it. Even if they present opinions strongly, it doesn't necessarily mean these are right.

2. Lowering the bar for going from 'this might possibly be..' to 'i think this is..' to 'this is..' --- that has been very uncomfortable, and still is depending on the audience.

I love working with peers who don't over-sell their opinions, but have adjusted to have a more equal playing field with those who are more opinionated (both kinds are great people).

+1 to the mention of curiousity elsewhere in the thread - realizing there are many ways to look at anything, all 'right' to some definition of the word based on the person's background and context, can be quite liberating, a fight for being right becomes a journey to understand better how people work.

My 2c, not strong opinions :)
> Russia: Basically none. They blew up their own pipelines.

They did it in sovereign territory, one of which is a NATO member. So, no, there is not "Basically no consequence". There is a very real likelihood that a NATO member will invoke Article 5.

Not only that, the direct consequences are dire for Russia at a time when they desperately need leverage over Europe. Now they have none.

No. 4D chess and contorted motivations.

> USA: Massive

Agreed. I don't consider the US a likely suspect.
Self examination is the only way really. Why do you feel the way you do about X? What are your own biases? What are your own baked in assumptions? What details do you not actually know, but are allowing yourself to assume? Think about things which you have a strong suspicion are true, but for which you do not actually have ironclad proof. For example, why did the person in front of you run a red light? Maybe they were late for work because they have poor planning. That might even be likely. But you don't know. Maybe their spouse had an accident and they are rushing to the hospital. Less likely, but still possible. Again you don't know. Why have an opinion about something which you cannot know?
None of these are particularly convincing for a traditional employer looking for a full-time employee, though. They just kinda brush off the flakiness.

Why should an employer choose the OP over another candidate? These excuses don't really bring confidence that they won't leave this job, too, in 6 months...

There is no shame in having mental health issues, but they have real world impacts. If you can't find a way to make it work in a situation, it's just gonna blow up later for everyone involved. It's going to suck for the OP's team too if they unpredictably disappear from time to time, for long stretches. Maybe a contracting or freelance or project based approach would be more sustainable and deliverable?

OP, your health is important, but you shouldn't burn bridges while taking care of yourself. Can you take on shorter stints in the meantime, maybe go on partial disability until the treatments kick in and you're able to hold down longer jobs? And/or find gigs that don't require long term commitments?

6 months is an awfully short time, especially several in a row. At most jobs you'd barely get up to speed by then, and then you're gone. It's honestly not a good look, and most employers don't really care about your personal struggles unless you can work around them to their satisfaction.

I’m going to jump to the conclusion that being opinionated is somehow negative socially for you? Or do you have another motivation?

If that the case I’d suggest - Keep the opinions - but add in curiosity.
I didn't say that it casts a negative light on Keras. Just on its popularity among outsiders. There are thousands of great libraries out there that are much less popular than Keras or PyTorch. And BTW, JAX is a useful Google-created framework that's growing in popularity among researchers and pushed PyTorch to improve (functorch), so I have nothing against Google projects.

Well, high-end stuff is always on Nvidia and Apple Silicon seems to get some love because of its unified memory that makes it possible in first place plus its popularity among developers.

AMD seems to be popular among gamers on budget and the budget cards often don't have the VRAM required by default. So, AMD seems to be in this weird place where the people who can make it work don't care.

This is fairly true, except unicorn level. In a unicorn start-up where things happen extremely fast and your valuation skyrockets, it's more likely the code isn't exactly beautiful and tidy.

I understand where the author comes from. You want to use tools developed in company instead of being cut off when you leave.
> Seems straightforward to compare open-source vs closed-source bug fix performance.

You can publish a best-paper in ICSE if you could pull this off. There are so many things that make this challenging. For starters, we don't even have the ground truth for what bugs exist. Even just looking at bugs we've already skewed our process dramatically based on the various different development processes of different projects.

You are right to question how many eyes are on typical random libraries. The answer is zero. Even huge libraries have extremely few eyes on them. When it comes to "many eyes" it is actually basically just the linux kernel and a very small number of other projects that get this sort of attention. The large majority of all open source projects, even those used by millions of projects, get zero meaningful attention beyond "hey I threw my tool at everything on github and spammed owners with nearly useless reports."
The source of those posts are likely people who got burned trying.
I do think there is some motivation for the US or another western state having done it: The situation in Europe is far from stable and it might be possible that our strategies for the winter are not sufficient and we'll experience shortages or outages. In that situation, politicians may come under extreme pressure to reopen the pipelines.

This might have been an preventive "intervention" to make such a "relapse" impossible.

Of course it might just as well have been a russian false flag with exactly the aim of strengthening the "the US is secretly controlling Europe" narrative.
Cool, appreciate you letting me know.

Had a manager who emphasized the mantra for our team. “Strong opinions, loosely held”.

Over time I’ve come to appreciate this more and more. The “loosely held” portion is important for allowing respectful differences of opinion and building a team together. But the “strong opinions” portion is equally important. You should be opinionated and understand why you hold those opinions and be able to defend them. But also learn to hear dissenting viewpoints and value them too.

Born in 84. I have been a user of all the above. The reason I mentioned GitHub to this level is truly in 2009 onwards it unlocked sharing of code at a level I had not seen before. It really did eclipse the reuse of software to what came prior and a lot of that has to do with the associated social network and network affects. They in a way game-ified software for a new generation. And it's not that we didn't share software before, just not to this degree and that's because every decade we rebuild the same ideas for a new generation that then 10-100x what came before. So something will come after GitHub as well. But today that's what we have and that really changed software for a generation.

Ordinary hash maps are still amortized expected O(1) — they will hit an O(n) case, guaranteed, when they need to grow the array, and it’s expected that the amortized runtime is O(1).

Being merely “expected O(_)” would be appropriate for algorithms that lack amortization, such as quick sort.

> could

I think the GP was making a note about exactly this: it could, but will it?

What evidence is there that keeping equality at the same level for the uber-rich would have resulted in higher standard for the poor?

It could have translated to the second 49% still leaving the bottom 50% in the gutters.

In all likelihood, the result would have been quite similar to what has already happened: slightly larger gains for the poorest, but most of the gains would be in the middle and higher classes. Nothing to be sneezed at, but hardly a substantive change, yet with the risk that some of those investments in jobs would be gone too.
Can someone explain to me why sharing stuff with a whole bunch of people at once is something they want to do in the first place?

Most of the things I do are completely irrelevant for most of the people I know. If I do something that I think could be interesting for someone in my social circle, then I share it with that specific person. If I'm right and they do find it interesting then we might even have a conversation about it.

This approach obviously requires more effort, but it strengthens individual connections and acts as a very effective filter/indicator for the importance of people in my life.

Instead of creating the illusion that I have an active connection with tons of people because they are automatically kept up to date, I'm forced to acknowledge that some connections are past their prime and that that's okay.

If there's stuff happening in my life that makes me think of people whom I haven't had contact with in a long time, then that's the moment to share that stuff with them.
Glad it’s working well for you. Let us know about rough edges or missing features.

Per the Washington Post:

> If you need the convenience of ultra-processed foods, you can check labels and comparison shop. Try to pick the products with the fewest ingredients. For help while shopping, you can pull up a website on your phone called truefood.tech. On the site you can type in a food that you want to buy — such as chicken nuggets or breakfast cereal — and in response the site will show you dozens of brands and recommend the least processed versions. The site uses machine learning to rank foods on a scale of 1 to 100 based on factors such as how many additives they contain and their degree of processing. The lower the score the better.

> The site was created by Giulia Menichetti and Albert-László Barabási, two scientists at Northeastern University who study ultra-processed foods and developed a database of over 50,000 foods sold in grocery stores. You may be surprised by the wide variation in processing among different types of macaroni and cheese or that your favorite organic gluten-free chicken nuggets score higher than a standard recipe.

You're an ignorant fool. Go educate yourself.
And also a well implemented GC (ie probably not python) is more efficient than malloc/free by miles (the way they do it is that they just increment the pointer to the end of the slab without any check ; the MMU will trigger if it's unhappy).
So either you manage your memory by slabs yourself without a GC, but you still don't have access to some code styles (like creating a ton of short lived objects), or you pay your malloc/free dues.

Sometimes, like if you are messing with graphs pointers and malloc (because it's not yet time to refactor to introduce a memory slab system), you can get the worst of both world: you allocate slowly with malloc, but you don't know when to exactly deallocate, so you still have to retain everything until you can nuke the entire graph at once, and each element will require a slow free().
you need to "install" the PWA first.
So how's this different from regular desktop applications in regards to phishing specifically?
Do you mean an app presenting pre-"install" as something and then post-"install" as something else?

I'm having a hard time seeing a lot of difference. Most windows you want to "spoof" will look different in regards to the title bar either way.
In a regular browser window you'll have the browser title bar. In the PWA case you'll have the extra hamburger menu.
I actually trialed Office 365 when I decided to drop Gmail. Their IMAP import was broken so I couldn't transfer my content over, and the admin dashboard was actually throwing HTTP errors. Customer support was functionally illiterate in English and unable to comprehend the problem, let alone solve it. Disastrous.

Email is so foundational to online identity, that I would rather pay for the services of a smaller company that sees it as their main business, rather than an also ran arm of a massive big tech company who sees customer support as an outsourceable cost center to be cut to the bone.
Just a desire to define an abstraction that's going to be consistent across all the services built. The value of a services catalog isn't just many separate services but the consistency and ability to reuse many in a coordinated fashion.
