Now that territories are “officially” part of russia putin can claim the country itself is under attack. Apparently that’s the only “legal” way he can use nukes. Given that his army is in shambles and there’s mounting pressure at home due to conscriptions, he’ll want a quick end. He cant get one without too many casualties on russia’s side since ukraine is doing rather well. I mean how can he accept defeat? It would not just be his own demise but also russia’s as it would look weak among countries with similar political systems. Plus he keeps selling this conflict as an existential threat to everything russian (he wrongfully claims their very way of life is under threat - this is not something you retract at short notice meaning he wants to play the long game). Ukraine cant retreat either.

So the only logical conclusion at the moment is that for russia to get out of this and still look like an actual power it needs to do something that stuns the rest of the world into backing off and potentially even retreating from some nato territory. And unless his new recruits pull some magic trick the only option left is the nuclear option.
SaaS companies hate this one weird trick!
I am only interested in 100% remote jobs. But while I'm happy at my current employer - I would jump to a 4DWW (Four Day Work Week) job happily. At the moment I wouldn't consider any offers that are not a 4DWW 100% remote job.
I think conflating that as a metric of games being good is both erroneous and highly subjective.

There are some very highly regarded mobile games that do quite well.
It'll be open source for sure.

I had considered selling it for a nominal fee too but that comes with additional commitments from me, that I'm not sure I want to take on.

Maybe I'll just add Github Sponsors, KoFi or such and see if there's interest, when it's ready and released.
> You don't get to choose what other people call you. Confident, hardworking people, don't don't care what others call them.

What on Earth? Yes you do. Do you not tell people what your name is? When someone asks you for your name, what do you say? I don't understand how you have human conversations with other people and make this claim.
the explanation is actually quite difficult to google.

"why are plants green?" -> because chlorophyl

"why is chlorophyl green?" -> because it reflects green and absorbs everything else

okay, you have to search:

"why did plants/chlorophyl evolve to be green"
I disagree. You cannot hold this principle "in theory" without understanding the specifics of this case.

It makes no sense to value (human) empathy and cooperation without valuing (human) life. You can argue about first principles, excrement and the universe, but this will still be true.

Without valuing human life, all sorts of things start to unravel in our society. Of course, just life is not enough! Empathy, cooperation, kindness, curiosity, etc: all things that make the human experience worthy.
Unfortunately the game isn't finished and probably won't be for years. I hope I still remember it by then.
Great start!

One way you could improve this is to not stop at just reporting a single data point but report the P50, P75, and P90 of a reasonable set of data points.

Also, it's probably better to call this HTTP latency rather than ping since the latter is on a much lower layer in the OSI model.
Why is it a poor proxy though? His father provided those services and passed some of the resulting wealth to his son. The quality of the proxy doesn't change depending on who's spending. Whatever the son spends, the father can't spend anymore.

Note that one of the strong drivers making people take risks, work shitty jobs, and otherwise do things that others don't want to do is exactly this -- providing for their families.
You know it when you see it.

Buying a bunch of different tickets to different shows you intend to go to, and selling some of them because things come up or you change your mind, is one thing.

Buying 20 tickets to the same event that you couldn't care less about and selling them for cash outside the venue is something else entirely.

Some people might be happy with that role, and sure, if it works for them, great!

But I do think it's quite reasonable to expect more from life and relationships. Women tend to expect more, and society doesn't tell them not to.

It's possible to have a self-consistent worldview that does tell both men and women to expect less, but personally I think that would make for a worse society.
Not entirely.

Modern browsers / webservers will keep TCP connections alive for at least a few minutes. I ran a tcpdump and confirmed there's only one network round trip involved in the critical path (after the first request, anyhow), with a transfer of a few hundred bytes in each direction (HTTP overhead, but nowhere near big enough to incur processing delays on the same scale as propagation delay).

(The actual packets sent: HTTP GET from my end, HTTP response from the server, ACK from my end.)

The latency is still 20-40ms higher than ping times, although it's not clear to me whether that's due to disk seek latency, server load, or something else.
Sure but they'll bring you some croissants and half a desk for 3 months for your seed round.

If you're a startup in Europe you can forget about the scale you can experience in the US and you should dedicate someone in your team to apply to every European grant out there to survive.

> Because men are bullied when they ask for it. This is what Brene Brown found:

>> Here’s the painful pattern that emerged from my research with men: We ask them to be vulnerable, we beg them to let us in, and we plead with them to tell us when they’re afraid, but the truth is that most women can’t stomach it. In those moments when real vulnerability happens in men, most of us recoil with fear and that fear manifests as everything from disappointment to disgust.

How is that relevant? Supposedly men are not good at asking for and receiving help because of their traditional gender role.

> Is this going to be like Californias law that required women in the board of trustees?

And that law was recently overturned. Thankfully.

With regards to this new law, IANAL, but given the interstate element here, I think Article IV, Section 2 of the USC might apply, thus rendering this law invalid.

If this new law were valid, it would interesting to see if Texas could compel companies and individuals located in the state with a nexus in California to not pay taxes to the latter.

>If our policy is such that the choice is left to Russia to either go nuclear or completely withdraw, it will just represent the complete recklessness that our policy towards Russia continues to be.

If complete withdraw is off the table, then the game is every 10 or so years we will go through this cycle of land grabs by Russia, backed by historical revisionism and nuclear weapons - even with bad results in conventional warfare.

This started with 1 region in Georgia 2008, it's 2022 and i's already a total of 4 HUGE regions - with the promise of more in Ukraine and Moldova.

A step in the right direction, to be sure. Now for a theoretical course correction...

While valuation is not the task of empirical science per se (and indeed, even the choice to pursue science is itself a result of valuation), the view that value and ends aren't rationally knowable, that they are somehow "pre-rational" or "extra-rational" or even "irrational" (Hume famously said that rationality serves the passions) only holds if you reject telos, and this is something the materialist metaphysical doctrine does axiomatically. But if human beings have a nature, then the end or ends of human nature are a defining part of that nature. Human nature is then what determines what is good for human beings and what furthers human flourishing; in short, what results in human happiness. Indeed, it is human nature that is the foundation for any truly defensible objective morality, because without it, we are left with nihilism or relativism or subjectivism or whatever. To reduce rationality to the methods empirical science is not only incoherent, but it is to take a narrow, castrated view of rationality that condemns whole swathes of reality (such as the axiological) to unintelligibility. If the author were to revise his metaphysical views to include telos, I think he would be in a position to make sense of value rather than consigning it to some realm of unintelligible priors.

This is where the blog post becomes confusing. On the one hand, value seems to be construed as something outside of rationality. Then we speak of "intrinsic" values which frankly begins to sound like the beginning of an awareness that human nature is a determiner of such things, though still mired in a subjectivist perspective. Then the author speaks of things as if they were objectively valuable which seems to contradict what he said earlier. How can you criticize the hamster wheel of productivity on subjective grounds? Maybe the workaholic loves the hamster wheel. You need human nature to show that workaholism is bad for human beings.

It is important here to recognize that telos is not a matter of conscious intent. This is a common misconception (though telos is involves here as well). Telos that toward which something is ordered, especially causally. Indeed, without telos, efficient causality itself becomes unintelligible and scientific explanation itself becomes impossible. You could not explain why striking a match, for instance, predictably results in fire and not something else like confetti falling from the ceiling or the sudden appearance of an elephant.
Wait. So. I do research in the polar regions and am interested in potential novel power sources for extremely remote environments. Is there any future where this kind of engine could be used for power generation? Say by storage in some capacity? Flywheel. Batteries. Etc. It seems to me it should be possible to detonate\fire when you need to top off your storage but that the design need not be limited to propulsion. Am I crazy? This is so far from my field of work, although I was originally a physicist.

Energy density, ease of transport, robustness, and all sorts of other considerations dominate in an environment that is very hostile. Aside from nuclear power (which we will never get) the future is pretty bleak for us still when compared to the diverse technology available in more "normalcy climates.

There’s Still One Big Trick for Getting into an Elite College
This was job #1 in US defense policy from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. There was a lull after the wall came down but it's back.

In my opinion the only way to avoid nuclear war is to get rid of nuclear weapons entirely. Humans being what they are, it may take a war to get that point across.
Weekly I cook a dish of 1 can (415 g) pink salmon, 1 cup barley, 3 cups diced frozen vegetables, 1 level teaspoon turmeric and 3 cups boiling water. Cook barley and water about 7 minutes then add other items. Cook until almost all water absorbed (~28 mins). Makes 2 LARGE serves, half to enjoy half to freeze.
At least a hundred milliseconds of additional latency is unavoidable across any ocean crossing. It’s just physics.

Optimal pricing for event tickets is undesirable.
There's no such thing as a "fair" price. That's a totally subjective and meaningless concept which has been discredited since the Middle Ages.

When you share a video link on TikTok, it’ll append a bunch of tracking data to know who opened it and notify you. That’s not really a surprise, but what’s more sneaky is they shorten the “shared” video links into a few unique characters without visible tracking data and parameters in the URL (AFAIK they used to visibly expose tracking data on the URL a few years ago but recently started using a URL shortener).

ie. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRmqkW4N

What seems like an inconspicuous and universal URL for a video actually sends a lot of advertising and tracing data back to TikTok’s servers about your friend/you.
I don’t think it works to handwave away wealth inequality as “would rather relax more”.

Having worked with an excellent UX designer, specifically not a graphic designer, he was great.

The difference between him and the other ones I have run into since, he watched users use the product, he would ask users how they might operate low fi paper mock ups, before us developers even saw the design. He tried his best not to project his own preferences and idiosyncrasies on the interaction design.

On the other hand, I have not seen this since. Compared to him, in my anecdata 90% are not clueless, but pretty bad.
Well, it's early access, so most of the features are unlikely to be finished, much less balanced.

It's building hype for a game thats far from the full experience or completion.

This is especially problematic for strategy games which usually have issues in mid/end game.
So, are there multiple competing explanations being offered for this in general, and none of them have ever become entirely settled?
I really don't like the framing of this article. The framing (to me) is as if the fault is with the men, and the solution must come from men.

Many activist groups have spent generations influencing almost all systems (education, industry, politics, etc) to promote minorities, but instead of raising females to the level of males, they instead removed opportunities from males. I can give tonnes of examples. There are scholarships at schools only for females, there are job application events where only females can attend and there are now positions in political office where only females can apply. There are no opposite example I'm aware of. These are not additional opportunities, these are removed from men and given to women.

Anecdata for schools: I know multiple teachers (read: more than 6) that thought it appropriate that they purposely bias their attention in classrooms towards the girls in their classes to "correct the balance". I heard in some cases they would even say "I don't want to hear from a boy", or purposefully pick any girl over a boy to answer a question. In a room full of teachers, not a single one objected to this.

In modern times we are told that systemic bias is bad and that more should be done to stop it. And yet, we systematically see bias in the name of "positive discrimination" and simply ignore the extremely obvious fact that young boys and subsequently men have been suffering for a long time as a result.

Let's go back to basics. We know how to treat people fairly and promote desirable behaviour. We used to live in a meritocracy and we apparently stopped it to address historic bias. Surely this is now done (for females vs males)? When can we return to a meritocracy?
>These venues are selling below market price

Well that is one way to look at it. Let me offer you another perspective.

Let's say that I send people to your town to buy up all the bread. All of it! Every brand, every size.

Then I raise the price.

Were the people before charging below market price, or did I just manipulate the market price and raise it?

Now consider that it wasn't bread, but something like insulin or gas. Is that still the "correct" market price or am I forcing it?
>For months after the election, both Clinton and Trump spoke publicly and claimed that they were the true winner and that the election had been stolen.

This is not true. Hilary Clinton conceded on Election Night, and didn't publicly claim the 2016 election was stolen until the interview in the video, in 2019. Again, I think you're confusing statements about Russian interference (which were substantiated) with claims the election was stolen (which were not). You may also be thinking of references to her winning the popular vote (which was true) rather than winning the election, which in the US can be two different things.

In other news, I tried compiling it on a server that runs a recent version of Ubuntu (22.04) and it does compile and seem to compile and link against Qt 5.15.3

Standard and traditional Qt type headaches, where between many different major versions and deprecated stuff and newly introduced APIs between minor versions, compiling and linking software that relies on Qt is a complete crapshoot.

Also, since you don't provide statically linked binary releases or a flatpak or an appimage, you might want to consider making the source dependencies of your software explicit in the Readme (like e.g. the minimum version of Qt5 required, or the qt5Charts dev libs, definitely not something everyone has installed on their computer).

Consider that each connection is a round trip (IE; hundred+ ms latency is multiplied by 3 due to handshakes being 3-stage.).

Consider that every fetch of a resource may itself include another resource (IE; a html page which contains a CSS include).

Now consider that this happens recursively (IE from the above example: a CSS include that itself includes a font or an image).

It's very easy to get 1+s load times with transatlantic latency alone.
It's really difficult to be a solo founder. There's a lot of mental health stuff with starting a startup that someone might not realize outright.

Flo is very different from most founders, imo. He's a silicon valley veteran and knows what he's doing... he's not a "typical" founder in the sense of being new to the industry and building something big before learning the ways of silicon valley. I mention this to say, for him specifically, founding his company this way was the best way to be successful. Kyle Vogt from Cruise (and JTV / Twitch) also comes to mind as another SV veteran who started solo but added a close friend (Daniel Kan) later on.

Flo's advice is pretty on point I'd argue. I was a solo founder who added 3 other cofounders (in terms of equity) later in our journey. We had worked together for multiple years by that point, and they were CRUCIAL to the business succeeding. If any of them left, our company simply wouldn't have worked at all.

We didn't succeed in building a successful long term business, but our tech and team joined meta in 2018.

I have never once regretted them as cofounders.

Originally I had a part-time "cofounder" who really siphoned off equity, but did little else in the grand scheme of the product. He was useful in moving the company forward, turning it from a science project into a real company, but I didn't know him and mostly was just looking for a cofounder because it was the thing to do.

I got into YC after firing him, and didn't add my "new cofounders" till 2 years after YC.

There is no one solution. Trustworthy cofounders who feel like people you would go to war with are great. Mercenaries are terrible.

Hrrmmm. I've been using the newer Jest testing library releases & they are supposedly powered by SWC. I definitely see some typechecking errors, & assumed this was also swc. But I see little evident in the swc project they've made headway here.

Im not sure what Im experiencing in jest. It's definitely not the same level of typechecking. But there's definitely something there & it's definitely much faster start time. Thanks for writing; Im curious too.

The EU has Bitcoin in the crosshairs not because it uses dirty energy (just as almost every other thing humans on the planet currently do, since renewables only make up 20 % to date), but because Bitcoin gives people a means to evade the erosion of currencies such as the Euro.

The problem is that techs push for branding to be things like a spec semantic version, but specs often just define options such that vendors would implement them in an interoperable way - while profiles are what define and test interoperability against mandatory feature sets.

Spec lines like USB 3.x and HDMI 2.x are meant to be interoperable sets of ever-increasing options, not an upward climb of mandatory minimum capabilities.

Vendors who didn't use SuperSpeed nomenclature before might have been doing so because it was clunky, but also might have been doing so because they didn't want to go through the effort of being certified against a profile (and in some cases, had nonconforming products)

This is simpler naming, but it remains to be seen whether implementors will suddenly care about certification. Those motherboards with the "USB 3.2 2x2 USB-A" red ports on the back are AFAIK un-certifiable and even non-conformant. No amount of marketing push for simpler names is going to help if vendors feel they get more value from just making stuff up.
