The person I was replying to wrote "Common theme I've heard here (Kyiv, Ukraine)". They (Ukraine) are at war so everything in their media or stated by government and President is part of their war propaganda machine. That's how war works.

The West is effectively part of the war so we cannot trust anything we're told there, either.

The only thing we can do is think for ourselves.

When is the last time you used CSS? "How to center a div" has not been an issue with CSS for many, many years. Flexbox and now CSS Grid have overwhelming adoption and most layouts can be achieved with a few lines of CSS.
No it isn't, which is why the man himself identified as a eugenicist. For starters there is the obvious (scientifically wrong) idea of tying complex, abstract beliefs to identifiable genes ('marxist genes' etc), there's the identical goal, in his own terms "improving the spanish racial body and ridding it of bad elements", the only difference is the means which he dubbed 'environmental eugenics', which is to say eugenics by the means of Lamarck instead of Mendel.

These forms of eugenics that stop one level before literal Nazi Lebensborn programs are by no means less vile and came in many different forms during the 19th and 20th century. They're no less deserving of the label.

My understanding is the German “euthanasia” program didn’t start until after after the war began. Not in big numbers anyway.

That's going to highly depend on the player. For a beginner you'd have to spell it out exactly. For a master player, you can shorten whole groups of moves to a few bits (which opening to use), some positions will need only "yes, do the obvious thing", etc. The design would be very different there.
> It would have put everyone on a more even footing.

This may seem obvious - after all, Esperanto is an "easier" language than French or English – but I doubt it.

Much of what makes Esperanto easy for speakers of related European languages is the large amount of shared vocabulary, allowing even a beginner to guess the meaning of many words when encountering them for the first time.

Then there is the grammar that would be familiar if you already know a related European language: affixes on verbs to express tense, affixes on nouns to express gender and number.

Starting from Chinese, those advantages don't really apply. It helps a bit that the affixes are predictable: Whereas "sleeped" would be considered incorrect, though understandable, "dormis" is just the expected form. But while the root "dorm" is associated with sleeping in many languages influenced by Latin, from the Chinese perspective it's just a nonsense syllable (or three).

Then there's the thing that there's no grammatical tense in Chinese at all, only grammatical aspect. The perfective aspect (indicating completion of an action) often corresponds to past tense, but when used to describe completion in the future, that's no longer the case. So there's no simple one-to-one correspondence the way a French or English speaker can map their native language's tense system onto Esperanto.

Im my experience, Chinese Esperantists struggle with vocabulary and verb tenses about as often as they would in English.

(Consider also the case of Pseudo -Chinese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-Chinese created by writing Japanese using as many kanji as possible and removing all grammatical affixes, resulting in text that often allows Chinese speakers to guess the meaning based on shared vocabulary. It's surprisingly good for Japanese → Chinese one-way communication, but pretty useless for anyone who doesn't have the shared context necessary to make sense of it.)
Hmm, well let's ask a poor child born to an unmarried mother about his experience.

I was born in a Catholic hospital, where abortion was out of the question. My father refused to marry my mother, so she felt she didn't have a "choice", and wept many tears as she "voluntarily" signed the papers to relinquish custody to the State, placing me for adoption.

I was adopted by Catholic parents who ensured I received the Sacraments regularly, as well as religious instruction and we attended Mass always. They sent me to Catholic schools run by religious orders whose mission and charism involves caring for the poor, needy, and marginalized.

These religious orders (including Irish sisters) upheld my dignity, respected me and my classmates, and they demonstrated in tangible ways how much God loves us. They did all of this while giving me a top-notch education, often at discounted tuition or on scholarship as necessary to keep me in school.

When I was homeless, unemployed and penniless, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul met my material needs and helped me survive long lonely nights with a few meals and kind words.

I dunno, if anyone ever made me feel like trash, it wasn't the Catholic Church. Quite the opposite.

I think the more interesting aspect of this is the framework being used: https://github.com/micro/micro

I haven't dug into it at all yet, but at a glance it looks like it's aiming to do something similar to what Go kit (https://gokit.io/) or Finagle (https://twitter.github.io/finagle/) does, where it gives you a nice abstraction for defining your "service" and then handles all the supplementary aspects (service discovery, serialization, retry/circuit breaker logic, rate limiting, hooks for logging, tracing, and metrics, etc) so you don't have to build those from scratch every time.

I don't know if any of those other frameworks could really be considered very "successful" outside the original organizations they were built for (it seems like the industry has bet more on service meshes and API gateway products), but I'd probably be more inclined to start with one of them than making a new framework.
> Guidance is expected; a great interview should be more of a conversation than a one-sided question and one-sided answer.

I had a particularly awful interview at Google where the interviewer scoffed at me needing assistance.

And in an interview at Twitter with a xoogler they asked me what I knew about number theory and I said "nothing" and they said they majored in it and proceeded to ask me number theory questions. For a Django tooling position. He asked me how many prime numbers there were and I said "optimus prime" and he looked at me and asked if I was serious and if he should record my answer. I said yes followed by "autobots roll out"

Such a waste of my time to fly out there.
After quick look on code it looks to me more like nano services than micro services and nano services are basically antipattern. I would never host that and expect most of this functionality to be library/package to programing language I use for my projects.
Question:

What is the actual issue with driving license (or passport) numbers?

I mean, these documents contain a number of "fixed" personal data, name, surname, place and date of birth, a photo, etc., and the Authority issuing them attributes to them a number/serial and a date of emission.

The issue is with the personal data, what is the advantage of (or what problem is it solving) issuing a new document with exactly the same data but with a different number/serial and a new date?

Whilst this is true chemically, it's the delivery mechanism that causes the delay. The chemical composition of insulins like Novorapid (which my daughter uses) are slightly faster than regular human insulin, but not nearly enough to account for the aforementioned (up to) 30 minute lag.

What? No one claimed that. The romans didn't build aqueducts and roads because they were nice either. But that's totally irrelevant.
No. It's not "just like". People with Cluster B personality disorders, especially the ones at the end of the spectrum with ASPD/psychopathy crave power over others. They enjoy looking into the eyes of someone while life fades away, or seeing the tears come out due to powerlessness and suffering. They like, crave direct contact. It is VERY different to cause suffering in a dispassionate way through software and hear about it on the news, or do it yourself in person 1on1.

So, no. Besides, it has been shown that there are professions with disproportionately much more psychopathic people than others. Which makes perfect sense, considering what I just said, even though there's more to be said about this subject.

You may enjoy reading the non-fiction book, "Hot Tech, Cold Steel", by Chuck Hutchins. It's his story of starting a tech company on the forefront of CNC machining.

One of the chapters talks about Chuck's experience in his first job after graduating from college. He accepted a relatively low compensation offer at a machine tool manufacturer, on the condition that he would spend his first year sequentially shadowing every other employee. There's an anecdote about him being handed a power tool by a machinist and told to go ahead and cut metal on a several hundred thousand dollar linear rail (in 1950s dollars), and the boss running and screaming across the shop to stop him.
That may well be the worse example you could have given, seeing as how special relativity was necessary to reconcile Maxwell's equations with Newtonian mechanics, a major inconsistency in physics.

Perhaps a better example could have been GR explaining why gravitational mass and inertial mass happen to be identical (except that GR also solves other real problems - notably, how to apply special relativity in the presence of gravity).
Low BG is a nonstarter, because it immediately impairs you. You will crash your car. You will get confused and fight someone. You will pass out and not be able to reach glucose. That coma will cause brain damage.

And, if you have back to back hypo episodes, you will actually fry both your body's natural counterregulation (you deplete your glycogen store, which makes subsequent hypo events more severe) and your neurological response to hypo (you lose awareness that you are hypo). In the long term, after too many lows, you will lose your ability to recognize hypo entirely.

Years ago I came across a project developing software for use by soldiers (maps, messaging, that sort of thing). The devs made really tiny icons for the various map symbols. One day an actual soldier came in with a ruggedised terminal and asked the devs to demo the software on it, using combat gloves. Needless to say it was unusable and there was a great gnashing of teeth.

The same project also gave rise to the best bit of user feedback I've ever seen. At an exercise where the software was being trialled, the commanding officer asked one of the soldiers what he thought of the software. He replied (in a northern English accent) "The fucking thing is fucking fucked, sir", and the trial was cancelled about ten minutes later.
The equations that students must often learn for special relativity were already known, hence the Lorentz naming. The question at the time was largely about how this undetectable substance called the ether behaved.

I like this idea of choosing a representation for numbers based on the use case. Like, "ints" and "floats" but even more specialized.

For example, what would be the most efficient binary representation of probabilities values between 0 and 1? In the future, I can imagine hardware + software that is specialized for examples like this.
This is an amazingly good read. The author pretty much describes in full all the requirements for a system / model that could help his son. (And which they have developed on an n=1 basis.) And it’s a complex system. Food, type of food, time, insuline (two types), body response times and curves / ratios, a measurement model. And then after admiring his technical writing I come away with a deep respect and empathy for what they are going through.

I’d say Poland wouldn’t be capable of this. I mean, you’ve got to be really really really confident that it won’t be public knowledge you’ve done this. And I’d be worried to what extent my intelligence services had been infiltrated if I hadn’t done this type of intervention a dozen times before and gotten away with it.

The same logic leads me to conclude it’s one of the major powers, a country that regularly does major ops and gets away with it. One that wouldn’t be worried about being caught because they hadn’t been caught before.

So: Russia, US, China, Israel, U.K. would be contenders
> Why wouldn't they try to put the biggest number they can get away with

It is unusual in a negotiation to offer to pay the largest amount possible as your opening bid - they do it so they can pay the smallest number they can get away with.

If there is someone amazing that they want to pay $25mil to - they wouldnt be advertising the role.
Novel number representations are cool. I came across Paul Tarau's "hereditarily binary natural numbers" a few years ago, and via them, Knuth's earlier TCALC representation (one of the many small side projects Knuth has done over the years, which for some reason hasn't gotten much attention).

They go pretty much the other way than this representation: they allow huge numbers, much larger than can be represented in regular notation (incl. floating point) to be represented and calculated with efficiently and exactly. Tarau's system improves slightly on Knuth's in that representations are unique. He also proves that they at worst require twice as many bits as regular representation.

Knuth's and Tarau's system are variable-length and limited to naturals, but it seems like it would be easy enough to extend them to rationals and fix the representation length.
>> it generally makes absolutely no sense for Russia to be behind this

Of course it does - Poland is entirely relying on the Norway to Poland gas pipeline, if that goes then a country of 50 million people has no gas this winter. Blowing up the Nordstream was(to me) a clear signal that EU needs to be careful or the Norwegian pipelines are going up next.
You forgot to mention EEUU... Think about to WHO we are buying now gas.
