The question no one asks is "how long does it take to repair a break in the pipeline?"

The whole pipeline is still there, this is damaged sections. This would be a known risk of an undersea pipeline: stuff undersea gets damaged by ships all the time [1].

I would wager, were we in normal circumstances, we'd be talking 6 months. There'd be big money at stake, vital infrastructure, and that's about as long as you've got till winter in Europe normally. We would have spare pipe sections, we've still got all the plant and equipment for putting them in place. Basically, this is not unplanned for event.

But does Russia, Putin specifically, think the pipeline will be of any benefit to them over the next 6 months? If Russia withdraws from Ukraine, sure. But why would that happen? Because Putin has been deposed (and is probably dead) - and the main way to accrue the sort of allies you'd need to do it would be to promise them a bigger cut of the new revenue to the state provided they played ball.

Taking the pipelines out of circulation in the short term cuts off internal negotiating power for would be usurpers for Putin specifically. Which for current day Russia, is the only consideration that matters.

What advantage would be gained from distributing the coordination layer? It seems cheaper, more efficient, more performant,you have more control, can enforce game rules and tweak them for fun and fair gameplay more easily, etc. if you do this with centralized control.
Feels like I’m on Usenet again when I read comments like this.

Awk is mostly nice for one-liners and is something you can just write into a command-line ad-hoc. It’s good at that. I could write the same thing as a Python script but it would take longer, and I would need to know that Python is installed on the system—Awk has a larger install base and is found on “minimal” installs.

If you hate Awk, and think it’s stupid, don’t use it. Seems like a big waste of time trying to argue with people who like Awk. That’s the kind of discussion I remember from my experience on Usenet in the 90s, and it seems like some people haven’t learned to move on.
Technically, it has the benefit that code cannot be incorrectly indented - it can't be formatted to look like the scope is one way when in reality it's another way.
I work for a consultancy that does some things I dislike to impress execs but nothing this shady. Close though!

Trees where lightning is prevalent are often wet, the water itself often containing dissolved salts (which enhance conductivity).

Current tends to flow around and over things, rather than through them. That is, on the surface. Which means that the conductivity of dry wood ("through") matters far less than the conductivity of slightly mineralised water ("over" or "around").
What's the easiest way to clean? Not make a mess in the first place.
I switched from protonmail to fastmail recently. Fastmail was a ton faster and didn't randomly forget my sessions. Night and day to use. It also let me use two custom domains without paying twice, which was nice.
> The Polish prime minister immediately called "sabotage" and fingered Russia, while everyone else is still saying "it could be sabotage but we need to investigate first".

Pipes of both Nordstream 1 and 2 blew up simultaneously. It seems pretty immediately obvious that it was done intentionally by someone.

I'm sure the perpetrator will eventually become known; I don't pretend to know who it is now. But that it was sabotage seems clear, so I wouldn't hold it against someone to claim such.
I’m curious to learn why fuzzy matching is needed—isn’t Message-ID sufficient?

I've been looking for an alternative to Spark (Readdle) for iOS and MacOS for years, and have yet to find anything that even comes close. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of things Spark does and it's missing some nice features, but the unified look and feel across both platforms is fantastic.
Great post. Another point is that the DC metro system also uses a non-standard rail gauge: it's 1/4 inch smaller than standard US gauge for some dumb reason, so of course this makes it more expensive to buy cars. Getting new cars made only happens once a decade or so, and involves getting a big juicy contract, and a whole new assembly plant built in the US somewhere.

Here in Japan, the metro system is great. Trains are always on time, they don't break down (because they actually do maintenance!), there's constantly new construction too. On top of this, the train systems are all privately owned: different companies own the different lines. Even so, they all use the same payment method: a simple contactless debit card (suica or pasmo) that works at every station across the country (as well as in vending machines, restaurants, taxis, and countless other places). It's really amazing just how horrible metro systems in the US are compared to this; it's like going to another planet.

I'm not by any means a regular user of macOS but whenever I've had to use it, it's had the impression of a sleek and elegant face with much worse below the surface, and this is no different.

It makes sense to make a copy when you set an image as a wallpaper, but what doesn't make sense is to keep that copy (with an automatically generated unique name!?!?) even after another wallpaper is set.

But, looking at the "wrong way" and guessing at the implementation, I have an idea how this happened: "Share" makes a copy with a unique name, presumably to avoid conflicting with anything else, and then tells the OS to set that as the wallpaper.

I wouldn't even call this a "cache", but a "leak".
Even with "frustratingly common" problems, recent-duplicate discussions are knocked off the front page with extreme prejudice. Plus you'd assume people who come to HN to ask questions also come to... read the front page, so they'd know that the exact same discussion has happened literally a few weeks ago.

Imagine if every week you got "ask hn: what's the best git tutorial?" or something equally trivial and open-ended on the front page. This simply does not seem like a natural occurrence.
I am very much not a beginner and I don't find whitespace sensitive languages hard to read. I don't find Lisp hard to read either. Or C-style languages for that matter. The sheer passion people have towards whitespace vs brackets vs parenthesis makes me question their sanity.

Charles Tandy was long dead by this point. I don’t know what happened at Radio Shack that caused them to drop the ball on the computer line in the late 80’s/early 90’s, but they sure did drop the ball.
> Actual currying would allow you to do partial application this way, making it less explicit

> To get it in Python you'd need to do this:

> f = lambda x: lambda y: x + y

> This makes the currying explicit. In general, currying is taking an n-ary function and reducing it to a series of n unary functions.

Something's gone wrong; your example of explicit currying conflicts with your definition of currying. `f` is a unary function.
You're right, it's not a fair comparison -- I think it's still interesting though, since numpy is the standard people would reach for, which made me think it would be the fastest / use the GPU. I expect a python library that uses the GPU would be just as fast as the others.

As a follow-up to this, I experimented with dropping any packet that does not have the exact MSS of 1460. Nearly all spam bots and crawlers are gone but I would expect that some people using VPN's would also be blocked.

Oddly enough most of the bots in Asia are exactly 1398 and most of the bots in Russia are 1424. I find that interesting.
I suspect most of them are not like this. But their customer is not you; it's the website manager. And that manager gets promoted not by providing a great user experience but by shoving the company's name into your face as much as possible. (And also by maximizing conversions, ad clicks, and engagement. Oof. Writing that sentence makes me want to throw up.)
I use lambda and closures (in Lisp), or awful approximation hacks of it (as one-element arrays of anonymous subclasses in Java) ALL THE TIME in graphical interfaces and many other contexts. Not once have I ever used lambdas for currying. In fact as a rule I yank out code I find using lambdas for that purpose as inevitably it can be done more readably with an iterator or for-loop.

But I agree that there should be no lambdas in Python-- but just Python -- because Python's enforced indendentation syntax rules are so hostile to those multi-statement lambdas and closures which are absolutely trivial in a language like Lisp. The hobbled lambdas that remain are, well, basically gunk for currying.
I'm learning Spanish because I enjoy travelling to Spanish-speaking countries and do so often. Learning a language is such a massive, multi-year undertaking that I can't imagine doing it only as a hobby!
For remote companies, would you consider outsourcing if there were an outsourcing agency that were easy-to-use, fast, cheap, reliable and high-quality? (Assume for the sake of outsourcing that there were an outsourcing agency that didn't suck and wasn't sleazy.)

If so, I'd like to talk to you and do some customer-validation interviews. Please find my email in my profile.

The benefits would be that instead of having fixed-staff that is sometimes poorly allocated, you could spin up inexpensive reliable staff on demand and it would be easily managed through a clean messaging/chat interface---Slack, Whatsapp, Twitter DM, your choice---with your external chief-of-staff. It also greatly increase the bus factor of your company. It would avoid hiring fraud and focus on matching high-quality inexpensive candidates to appropriate projects, and do project management for you.

If every function of your company (marketing down to content writing, development of every single company, all design etc.) is completely fancy and bespoke or you don't want to decrease your bus factor because you are moving way to damn fast to have any process or knowledge sharing outside of key team members, I guess this offer isn't for you. But perhaps also you've haven't completely bought into a sexiness/coolness mythology, realizing this mentality that everything must be in-house that isn't a great fit for 99% of companies. Perhaps you are open to modular boring solutions for certain company functions that aren't actually part of your core values / differentiators / skill area.

> It's not for visual thinkers.

As a MUD vet - and recognizing how much MMORPG dynamics borrow back from MUDs - I think it's more about the differences in mechanics and social dynamics than "visual thinking". The interface and interactions are about as abstract and obtuse, and the focus on player-driven events in real time over scripted storylines is similar.

But for me, there are MUDs that are more creative and proactive. Between re-rolling and no-PK MUDs, failure/death often has few or no stakes early in MUDs. Remorts recycle the player base, so on older active servers there experienced players are often in new-character zones. Building mechanics are more open-ended but also not mandatory for success.

EVE always plays more linear and reactive. There are and have been MUDs like that, but it's not monolithic - they aren't the only "non-visual" type of MUD. EVE guides players into corps and other orgs, which by design leads to hierarchical play. A new capsuleer is about even with or less than an NPC to most EVE players. There are few incentives to meaningfully help new players or new characters, outside of making them more useful laborers for your corp. Investing time, effort, and optionally money eventually rewards you as a player, but until then you accomplish and contribute very little.

So I'd say EVE is more for players who want to play the proverbial long game, with winners and losers, and stakes of economy and influence above all others. That's not something that can be pinned on the visuals or the spreadsheet UI. In that sense it's honestly more like Football Manager but with real people as the footballers that get shuffled around and appeased in order to help you win.

Unfortunately people fall for them! Yes it's perplexing, but look at any shitcoin, they literally have no utility most of the times, and solely capitalize on people's fear of missing out on the next coin that "goes to the moon". Or say Tesla stocks.

The strategic value to the US is that it completely removes the possibility that Germany will negotiate with Russia to turn the pipelines back on.

Or, alternatively, it's a strategic benefit to Russia to plant the idea of US treachery in the minds of the Germans.

I have no opinion and doubt we'll ever know what actually happened. Definitely sabotage, though.
Congrats: you are an outlier. That's pretty cool, and it means you can read a lot of code quite easily, which I'm sure lets you be more productive than most, but you are not like most other people.
>I find it funny that a lot of HN posts will expound in expletives about how a certain tech product is the best in class for example, how great macbook pro speakers are and then another poster will say that no laptop has ever had decent speakers…

This is not contradictory at all. "Best in class" means exactly that: the best out of the available selections. If they're all terrible, the best-in-class is the least terrible. MBP speakers may be best-in-class (I'm assuming, I don't know), while still being "crap" to someone who values high-fidelity sound.
This is simply not true. You're not talking about the same type of card. Tell me one website that doesn't allow Revolut one-time virtual cards (note that these are not prepaid cards)

Converting all jsx/javascript from one framework to another would be extremely hard. It's easier to start with something more basic like a mustache/handlebars template - and then add framework specific functionality on top of that. That's what I'm planning for my Chrome extension SnipCSS. (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/snipcss/hbdnoadcma...)

After creating a snippet from someone else's website with the extension, you can get a mustache template by going to templates tab in extension options. React/Vue is coming really soon - next week I should have an update with the feature.
I've seen 30 - 60 - 90 day reviews and seen people let go in that timeframe. Is that not a thing in the US ?
This assumes I've never done any hiring... which I have done, massive amounts of.

You do get frauds. So what? It's always been the case. It hasn't appeared out of the blue this year, so why is there now an outcry about it? It hasn't increased one bit, all things considered. People have been running bait and switch scams since before the internet existed. Read up on penpal bride scams - you send a photo of a younger, more attractive sister or daughter and entrap a prospect. Or about "flattering portrait" matrimony scams - the same thing, but using paintings, since that was done in the middle ages, before photography.

So again, why is the narrative building being done?
Code can absolutely be incorrectly indented in python and to make matters worse it changes the functionality of the code when it is.

I point many domains to a mail provider. That mail provider allows me to create aliases otherwise known as email canaries. I also have my own email servers with a handful of domains and I can create unlimited aliases on them. My servers are great for inbound mail, especially canaries.
Stop thinking that Russia is doing what's good for Russia. Because it's not what's happening: Putin is ordering Russia, to do whats either good for Putin, or just what Putin wants.

And what's good for Putin right now is not having an easy source of income for someone to distribute to his keys to power in exchange for supporting a coup (plus side-benefits like all the people leaping to blame the US).
Yes, the next logical move for Russia is: if we can't sell our gas to the EU & Co., nobody gets to (to the extent they can help it).

That is, the next obvious offensive move is for Russia to start sabotaging more of allied Europe's energy infrastructure, increase the pain proactively. Pipelines coming out of Norway are clear targets.

Putin is an adult child throwing a tantrum because he's losing badly, being humiliated, and being shown to be weak and not brilliant. His position entirely rested on a wrong perception (that he was a highly competent authoritarian), which is now being displayed very publicly globally.

That's a nice bit of detective work you did.

What happened is fraud, and potentially harmful to your reputation. If you can afford it, consider seeking legal remedy. It sounds like the twits running this scam are amateurs and its possible services like Zoom could unveil better leads toward pinpointing the perpetrators if compelled. Google's impersonation policy seems particularly wanting. You could consider reporting to law enforcement as well, for what that might be worth.

Thanks for sharing and I hope your story serves as an example to those who are out there hiring to stay alert.
This is such a lame self-promotion - how are they going to get the terminals?!
Win32 apps have always been able to break dragging, since ultimately the app process "owns" the window frame and can hang and block all interactions with it. (The system tries to catch simple cases of hanging where the app obviously isn't processing messages, but that doesn't cover all situations)

Actually, UWP sort of solved/solves this, by having a different process own the window frame.
Everything is a mess under the surface. It's more or less impossible to write something as complex as a modern desktop OS and keep all your code and behavior neat and tidy.

I never said it was a rational action just that it’s a reason.

There’s more evidence to support that this wasn’t someone like the US or Ukraine as well.

One of the pipes of Nord Stream 2 remains intact and there’s only one country that benefits from forcing the certification and opening of Nord Stream 2 and that’s Russia.
It's happened to everyone. I'm not even saying you made this up. You definitely have something to say about this, as it is a common occurrence.

What I'm saying is that it's worrying that there are many front-page posts that /ask specifically about this/. It's like facebook groups being flooded with "Ask FB: anyone live close to a 5G tower and get headaches?" Most people in cities do. It's the /question/ that builds the narrative. Not your anecdote.

So again, why is this specific point being dredged up this often recently?
When you have high turn over you need to train employees but there legacy companies have barely any remote team management capabilities. I’d be surprised if they even got teams to work somewhat competently at gm.
