Common theme I've heard here (Kyiv, Ukraine) is that this sabotage is in Putin's direct interest. There are rumours of political infighting among Russia's leaders and that there are several factions trying to seize power, however since there is no clear winner, those guys need powerful allies, EU being a very important one. The idea is that Europe really wants to buy Russian gas, but not from Putin, so if Russia somehow gets a successor, he (or she) would stop the war, blame everything on Putin, beg for lifting of sanction and resuming the trade. Since Europe needs gas they'll gladly agree to this. But if there is no gas, then the potential successor would have much less of a value to offer. Basically with gas on the table the upside is high enough to warrant an attempt of an extremely risky coup, but without the gas it's a much less interesting proposition.

An alternative POV is that somebody (USA?) does not trust Europe/Germany/... to not "relapse" to the "gas needle" when the things get dire.
It's funny because I've been "in cloud" all my career and that experience has taught me the value of "on prem".
Andrew, mad respect on your integrity and navigating an ethics situation one would expect to read about in a college study.
I agree that is the most important angle, to consider the consequences for other infrastructure. However, it should be said, pipelines are intrinsically difficult infrastructure to monitor due to their great length, and a pipeline at the bottom of the sea even more so.
My comment wasn't a critique on your product. I can totally see how this could be handy and I'll keep it bookmarked. I was mostly critiquing that web devs nowadays always seem to try and reach out for some React package whenever they hit any sort of problem. I can see that the React packages are mandatory, any plans to support other frameworks?

By their nature, all things are unique, depending on their framing. We make concessions because we don't all have infinite time.

Which is to say, you can't have 2 apples, you can only have one very specific, singularly unique apple and another very specific, singularly unique apple. If you get pedantic enough, nobody could ever have anything because the word invented to describe the first thing wouldn't technically describe the second thing perfectly (as they're not the same) so as to render speech useless.

Either accept that "unique" is a word for the poets and not the mathematicians, or accept that it's entirely useless as a descriptor.
Madagascans are related to Indonesians, who like Polynesians have been traced back, ultimately, to Taiwan. There has been recent mixing with Australians. This happened historically quite recently.

This was my first computer too! But I didn't get my until '95 (I was 12) as a hand-me-down from an uncle. It's the computer that I learned how to learn on. I learned DOS by myself from a DOS For Dummies book which let me figure out how to install and play games on the computer. I also picked up Basic which started my adventures in computer programming. This single opportunity set me down the path of learning and making a living from technology for the rest of my life. I've no idea what I would be doing today if I never received that computer.
Ah, this analysis is in the same ballpark as misinterepting what Bill Gates said about vaccines and lowering the rate of population growth in Africa as "Bill Gates wants to lower the population in Africa!" and then concluding that Bill Gates started Covid so he can vaccinate and kill people, "see, he even stated so!".
Hey, I'd love to hear that one. Moxie has been around for a long time. If somebody has rationalizations for everything he released broken and talked about in context of being part of Mossad that should be a fun read.

Well, yes: there was a regime change and the Soviet empire partially broke up, so over 30 years, the new Russian regime created friendly relations with many of its western neighbours. Pity an idiot in the Kremlin decided to burn all that work by invading UA, but a hypothetical post-Putin regime could start from scratch again.
The last time I paid a general appliance repairman to fix my dishwasher, he replaced it with a nonstandard part. It semi-functioned for another couple years, but it generally had a hard time self-cleaning its own filter, which lead to lots of strange and persistent problems. Eventually, the dishwasher failed, causing a leak that required a lot of the flooring around it to be replaced.

I should have just purchased a new dishwasher at the time that GE's planned obsolescence part failed, right at the end of its warranty period.

So, what the article misses is that a lot of the suppression of maintenance providers is related to how our intellectual property regime has been crafted. The statutes and case law give corporations enormous power that they did not really have in previous eras to control supply chains and documentation. There are other factors feeding into this, but if you are looking for a solution to this set of issues it lies within IP reform first and foremost, although that would have its own set of tradeoffs and consequences.
Absolutely anything that is neutral or requesting for peace or mentioning any of US activities is met with "Putin Bot" , "Kremlin Bot", "Russian Bot" accusations including xenophobic slurs of "what I think of Modi".
It's insane requesting for any civil conversation in this environment.

It's not exactly news.

The air force also used to own a lot of aircraft factories [1]. They still have the famous plant four, from building B-24 Liberators to now building the F-35. Private contractors do the operations.

Does it make sense to pretend to be all private if you have (mostly) one customer. I guess the contractor who won the competition for the new program could always buy the factory from the previous one's manufacturer, but does it make sense?

At present you have to reload the process after changes, but the underlying codebase obviously supports dynamic loading so this may change.

Not the person you replied to, but let's test the theory this way: Can you list out some of the US/Ukraine propaganda? If not, do you think it's because the US/Ukraine isn't using propaganda or because they're better at it and you don't realize it's propaganda?

Privacy isn't in top 10, ever.

Scandals? What scandals? In current world they come and go, people have little attention span with covid, wars, environmental crises and so on. That goes for Android too, people en masse simply don't care about phone privacy. Makes me a bit sad but it is what it is.
> Should I be concerned that a joint that's fine today won't be OK tomorrow? Or is it enough to say that if it sounds right and doesn't look like trash, it is good enough?

It depends on the application. If you're not performing, the cost of a joint that fails later is just a bit of annoyance. If you're on stage and your equipment fails, that's a lot worse.

I wouldn't think guitar solder joints are stressed out too much though, so if it lasts a week, it'll probably last longer. There's a little bit of vibration and motion, but not a lot of power or heat. And most people try to take it easy on their guitars --- it's not like car wiring or anything.

Well, I wanted to use Linux, not Windows. And my servers ran (and still run) Linux, not Windows. The point wasn't that I couldn't do my school assignments (I was forced to use Windows VM) but that not even this simple task could be accomplished - so running it in production was straight up impossible.

Wasm is much newer than Mono was at the time. Let's wait.

It's somewhat difficult to do without committing those crimes in some way. Most states have laws with similar types of clauses, as Fraud is generally illegal, and the core elements of fraud are generally recognized as lying about a material fact for financial gain.

In this case, they were impersonating someone else. For them to get to the point of getting paid, they'd likely have to provide identity documents (including a SSN, some form of photo ID, etc.) if the company was doing their paperwork correctly. Even contractors have to cough up a SSN, and that is enough to trigger federal identity fraud charges.

If they provided real credentials and their real name, but had someone else sit in who pretended to be them to do the interviews, it gets trickier - it would still likely to be some variant of conspiracy to commit. Conspiracy at the federal level generally only requires a concrete action by a conspirator in furtherance of a crime, which with only a little squinting would likely apply here to anyone involved (including the fake interviewee).

I present to you 18 USC 1028, the federal identity fraud code. [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1028], which provides penalties up to 5 years for a first and non-violent/non-drug related offense, or 20 years (for a second offense or other nastier qualifications). A felony, either way. It includes transferring said documents electronically.

My 'favorite' section is 7, which explicitly states that SSN, DOB, etc. count, as well.

Conspiracy would likely be under 18 USC 1346 & 1349 [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1346] [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1349], which makes it a crime to 'deprive another of the intangible right of honest services', or conspire with another to do so.

Either way, as I said elsewhere, I doubt anyone would be particularly interested in such prosecution unless it was very high profile for some reason. It's hard to get anyone sympathetic about a large company getting scammed by someone this way. Most companies also don't like having a reputation or PR as being scammable.

So companies should be very interested in covering their asses here. That said, it IS also a federal (and likely state) level felony, so folks SHOULD also rightly be scared to attempt it.

If the right parties were motivated, it could easily result in many years in federal prison. And it's hard to say when someone will want to make an example out of something like this.

Countable numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) are infinite, in the sense that they never end. However, the information complexity of a program to generate them is finite and only a few bytes long. Information complexity of generating digits of π is considerably more complex but still very finite.

So what you really want is the infinity of infinite information complexity, but we haven't discovered such a thing yet.

Great, happy to clarify.

Glo is a fully-backed stablecoin, which means that for every dollar of glo that’s in circulation, we have a treasury of cash & cash equivalents equal to that amount. Some of that reserve is invested in short term Treasury bills, which create a yield. We give that yield directly to a charity called GiveDirectly, which then distributes the money directly to very poor people.

The idea is that Glo will compete with other stablecoins, and do all the other things that people currently do with USDC or tether, except that it will generate basic income for people living in extreme poverty as a side benefit.

Hope that helps.
I did several years in production engineering. We never used flux. Not once. It’s a crutch for people who don’t know how to solder.

What we did was use solder that wasn’t shitty. Big fan of felder 62/36/2 but it ain’t cheap.

We also cleaned stuff properly before soldering it. The reason people tend to flux things to death is that they didn’t clean the oxide layer off before soldering. Or used shitty solder.
Heh I have also had trouble with a higher end model's ice maker. I have donated about half a pint of blood over several stabs at fixing it. Even after I ended up moving and renting the place, the new tenant who also considered himself pretty handy gave a bunch of goes at it too to no avail.

It seems like such a simple device, yet they are devilish to diagnose and repair apparently!

I spent an afternoon trying to figure out how to detect when an element had its display or transform properties changed when it was also the full size of the screen. This was my proposed heuristic for deciding when something was a full screen popup, in the process of taking over your window. The idea would be to zap these elements when they were triggered, so that you'd not have to encounter them in the first place.

Cool story huh? Anyway, that never went anywhere, but I'd donate to an open source project if a better programmer than me wanted to take on this noble struggle.
Ha. The vodka in Moscow must be pretty strong this year then.
Just replace the `node.parentNode.removeChild(node);` line with `node.style['position'] = 'static';`.

> "taxation is theft" is compatible with a desire to help the less fortunate. We don't all have to subscribe to your ideology of forcing "conpassionate" behavior (sic) to actually help people.

So you mean saying "oh poor you!" giving a sad look and moving on with your day?

I'm sure the less fortunate are really happy about that.

Or can you detail what's the plan to help the less fortunate without taxation on the more fortunate?
Maybe. But that's why I wrote that last paragraph. I.e., regarding Carlsen — I would never defend this type of behavior, but I understand him. First off, I believe that he truly believes what he says, and… well, somebody else already mentioned Fischer (like 20 times in one thread, probably). What he does is not ok, but the fact he is inclined to do so is ok, people do get in fights and behave poorly, what else is new. This is exactly why there are federations with their rules and event organizers with their protocols, to keep things civil even when it becomes really heated up. And their fault is 1000 times worse than Carlsen's.

(Honestly, I didn't expect them to do well, because we all know what FIDE and chess community in general are, but there still are degrees to how bad one could manage the situation, and they did it awfully bad.)

Regarding in-person I9 checks, I had a very interesting experience recently with a friend who was hired at a big 4 accounting firm. They deputize a friend of the employee (me) to verify that they have checked the I9 in person. They use a service for this: https://www.lawlogix.com/

It was a very strange experience. Here I am a totally unrelated party becoming an "authorized representative" of the firm to look at a document and verify it's real. There was no real verification of me, mind you. I could have been anyone.

I have no idea how normalized this sort of thing has become, but I was quite surprised that they appoint some random individual rather than have an actual employee do the document verification.

The best apple pies are made with crab apples. Most crab apple trees are almost inedible since they aren't bred for flavor, but there are some really good crab apples out there.

Eaten raw, most crab apples are too tart even for pies, so you want to find one that are edible raw. It'll probably still be considerably tarter than a Granny Smith, but there should be great flavor behind the tartness.

Add more sugar than a normal apple pie, since you're getting less from the apple.

The resulting pie is sweet & tart & flavorful with great texture.

Living through that era, I recall that Linus Torvalds talked a lot of smack about the 80286. The 386 was just so much better for implementing Unix on that they didn't even want to deal with it.

So there seems to be this uncanny valley between 8086 and 386, where a lot of people either dragged their feet or jumped forward as soon as they could.

My transition to a 386 was very abrupt, facilitated by a Christmas present that could not run on an 8086 machine. But one of the first things I installed on it was Windows, and I went from "How will I ever fill up a 40MB hard drive?" to "oh wow it's almost half full already" in a matter of weeks. I suspect a lot of people were experience 'sticker shock' with respect to file size inflation as well, leading to more foot dragging.

Well, I'd say there's a difference between HUD and infotainment. I might be influenced in a car decision by the actual HUD and its useful features (for example: the blind spot cameras on some new cars), but the infotainment screen between the driver and passenger is almost always just an annoying barrier between me and having the music/podcasts/whatever + maps from my phone playing in the car.
