Putin's irrationality is his insistence that Russia can take on the US as a major imperial player. Whatever you think of US imperialism (not a huge fan, personally) the reality is that the US is a hegemon which has the resources to run the largest military and intelligence operations on the planet.

Russia isn't, and doesn't. Russia isn't even close. So it uses political subversion instead of outright militarism. Which - it turns out - is possibly the one domain where it's competitive with the US. For not all that much money, some info war campaigns, and the help of internal allies, Russia almost got itself a two term president with eyes on a permanent dictatorship.

Nice plan. Didn't quite work.

But Putin decided to go ahead anyway. Which is insane. Every single goal - weakening NATO, weakening the EU, building closer relationships with China, India, and Turkey, strengthening Russia internally, cementing his own position in history as Tsar Vladimir I, saviour of the Empire - has failed, disastrously and counterproductively.

So now Putin has two choices. Admit defeat and have an unfortunate accident with a window, or burn everything to the ground out of spite and frustration.

He's not going for Option 1. So it's up to everyone else to make sure Option 2 doesn't happen.
I agree. While it certainly contains good writing that book is also mannered and sentimental, my least favourite of his.
That does not make it OK. The proper solution is one or both of:

- Make laws so simple that a layman can understand them, thus removing the need for professional lawyers, and their exorbitant fees.

- Have prosecution be equally well funded as a defendant.

> Async/await syntax is needed if you want to have a `with` block that managed resources across co-routine boundaries.

I don't see what is the connection between async/await syntax and managing resources. The `with` block is just another mechanism for managing resources - Go has the `defer` statement which runs the deferred function at the end of currently executing function block, providing the equivalent functionality without need for async/await syntax. The `with` blocks could easily be implemented in Go, but Go doesn't like duplicating functionality in the language.

> Consider Python's `async with`

Python is a traditionally synchronous language, so the async/await syntax in Python is necessary if you want to use the async runtime, while still having compatible syntax with the traditional sync runtime.

> So the async and sync distinction is needed/useful if you have both.

Every sync call can be trivially modeled as an async call that is always awaited. If you want to bolt-on async runtime onto a sync runtime, you need async/await syntax. Other than that, I don't see the value it brings to a language at all.
But the opposite is also kinda true. I was pretty sure that I wanted to do software when I was 15 and then I had to sit through a lot more stuff to be able to study that, that was basically my main motivator to finish our equivalent of high school (bit more complicated here in Germany, to be able to go to uni I had to finish my 13 years of schools, or go a very complicated route of exiting school at 16, do a 3 year vocational training (that could have been application development), to go back to school for 1-2 years, with no time saved. But yeah, could've just done work then and not go to uni, but I wanted to learn).
Do you or anyone happen to know if one of these U74 based boards (including the Star64 from Pine) feature encryption extensions? I tried looking but I couldn't find any mention on the CPU spec sheet.

I'm a firm believer that any machine packing personal data must have the capability to encrypt data at acceptable performance levels. And while I'm pretty sure I'm going to raise comments about hardware backdoor and state backed attackers I'm more worried about a thief or burglar having access to my personal data.

I have a couple of silent Rockpro64s running in a closet NAS and other applications. While those are not very performant they can handled 200-600MB/s encrypted data throughput and thus saturate a gigabit network.
That’s certainly one of many factors but the other big one is energy cost due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions levied by major economies on Russian energy exports.
That’s a fairly generic statement, have you confirmed that rule to be true across every city/state/country across the globe?
Can any of the contributors to ChiselStore [1] , mentioned in the article, elaborate on the comment made about

Relative obscurity, most likely. If the formats are not used in bioinformatics, people developing bioinformatics tools are usually not familiar with them. And if developers are not familiar with the formats, they can't make informed decisions about using them. Yet another consequence of researcher-driven software development.
You certainly don't need calculus to understand exponential growth; you'd get a good sense of it from just looking at a chart.

The ability to apply learned theory to real life in cross-domain ways is not common and not so easily taught by rote. Teaching calculus to everyone won't solve this.
"People mistakenly see optimism as an excuse for inaction. They think that it’s pessimism that drives change, and optimism that keeps us where we are. The opposite is true. Optimists are the ones that move us forward"

Exactly, it's not binary. Some pessimism is healthy, "the ones that speak truth to power". However, complaining without offering solutions is pointless. Good on you for following up, and trying to be optimistic about some of your solutions.
Your Undoing Is Our Progress
Makes sense to me, the thing that matters is not total money but active money. Prices go up because there is the same amount of money, but sellers expect more, and buyers are used to paying more. This can continue by having their proportion of earnings/wealth spent increased which increases total liquid money supply, until they are at capacity (i.e. spending their whole income, selling off assets, etc).

Basically the inverse of people being averse to spending and instead hoarding cash, leading to deflation as prices are lowered to tempt them into spending again.
Following the unix philosophy we should have one command to manage physical interfaces, another for ethernet level stuff, separate commands to manage ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, then v4 and v6 multicast, another for vlans, different ones for v4 and v6 route tables, and so on, all with an inconsistent cli interface and output.

I drive a 2018 Hyundai IONIQ EV. The forward radar is hit-and-miss in heavy rain: the car will often barrel quite happily into stopped traffic when it’s raining hard, requiring a stomp on the brake pedal.

Just a couple weeks ago I was driving on the motorway around 4am, no other traffic for miles, and the forward collision alert sounded and the car slammed on the brakes for ~quarter of a second and then released as if nothing had happened and we merrily resumed our journey. Having the brakes slam on at a smidge over 100 km/h gave me a sore shoulder and quite the rush of adrenaline, quite the rush at 4am!

So yes. The radar does have a mind of its own.
> I don't want the "closed team" culture that was intentionally baked into the tool.

I've been using Fossil for years and TBH i don't see that "closed team" culture you speak of (though i also have almost all of my projects as "open source, not open contribution").

Fossil is a distributed version control and in fact it is "more" distributed than git if you consider that people tend to tie it with centralized services like GitHub to get more than just the VCS part. A Fossil repository contains not only the versioned files, but also a wiki, tickets/bugtracker, forum, chat room, blog/technotes - even the theme is part of it. And since it is a decentralized system, all of it are cloned when you clone the repository.

AFAIK the only limitation (hasn't really tried it myself since i only use it solo) is that for security cloned users aren't "fully" cloned so you'd need to make new users in the cloned repository - you can use the same username though (but in commits, history, etc it'll appear as different users). It'd be useful if "user" and "identity" could be distinguished so that you can have the tool know that two usernames are really about the same person.

Also Fossil works pretty much everywhere - a local server, as a FastCGI server, as a plain old CGI "script", you can even have it as a "CGI interpreter" for ".fossil" files (the repository files - the entire repository is stored in a single SQLite database file) which makes it usable with many shared web hosting services without needing root or even shell access. In a way that is the most decentralized you can go :-P.

This is not how it works. Your NFC ID card establishes that a person that looks like X is named Y. That’s fine, that’s what we get, just less reliably, from a photo of your passport. You will still need to smile for the camera to establish that a) you look sufficiently close to X and b) you appear to be a live human being (as opposed to a photo being held to the camera)

The image of your face and the image (NFC capture) of your ID are stored to prove to auditors that you were indeed verified to required standards.

No one wants your mugshot, it’s a legal requirement they are having to satisfy.
Hand waving "that's irrelevant" is not the get out you think it is
TAR files can't be uncompressed in parallel. ZIP archives containing a single large file can't be uncompressed in parallel.

The resulting CSV file can't be processed in parallel, as there might be quoted record delimiters.

There are compressed file formats where a single file can be processed in parallel. Apache Avro and Parquet are examples I'm familiar with, but these handle columnar data (i.e. replacing CSV), not large numeric matrices etc.

I love to see effective yet brutally-simple "redneck engineering" solutions to software problems, particularly ones that straddle the line between genius and stupidity in a way that makes architecture astronauts feel uncomfortable.

I used to work at an brokerage that worked with a panel of around 12 providers, all of whom offered 5+ products that were updated multiple times per year to meet changing regulatory requirements. When a sales adviser recommended product X from provider Y to a customer, the adviser would then need to fill in an application form that was precisely tailored to that particular revision of that particular product. Bear in mind that these were complex, multi-sectioned forms. Needless to say, this created a huge workload for the devteam to keep track of all the product changes and update the UI accordingly each time.

At some point, someone on the devteam had the genius idea to simply take the PDF application forms from the provider, extract the individual pages as PNGs and overlay HTML form elements on top of them. The provider would essentially be doing our UI design for us. Add in an editor tool so the sales managers could set up the forms themselves and a tagging system so specific fields could be pre-filled from customer data we already had stored in the DB and the devteam's workload dropped by maybe 90%. Simple, stupid perhaps, but effective.

Even without knowing the letter of the law to a T I'm aware that in a criminal case evidence is confiscated, assets are frozen, etc. during prosecution. It's standard procedure. I don't see how holding bitcoin from a money laundering case is evidence of government corruption. Sure, the CJ system is broken and awful... but your ideas of why are just incorrect.
Yeah I mean I don't really see how we could practically make this approach work in a standard classroom, but the idea that CGP Grey presents where each student would have a sort of AI-tailored personal curriculum (or "digital Aristotle" as he calls it) would potentially allow for it, since each student then gets their own interests turned into projects they can work towards (and still learning the same concepts) while the group teacher is mainly there as an observer and helper.

I think if you put together an entire class of completely different projects that all somehow end up teaching trigonometry it would also help show everyone all the possible applications for it when discussing afterwards. I never would've guessed trig is used in audio for example.
Stop Asking Small Questions
Imagine being a country trying to develop and mend your past, having NATO inching ever closer to your borders, with plans to deploy tactical and strategic missiles pointed at your capital. While being painted as the bad guy in Hollywood movies for the past 30 years. Marginally more inconvenient than being caught trying to influence the smear campaign against you.
ADDED: While I'm on a "Why are all browsers so shite, these days?" rant... what is it with the so-called 'Sync' festures that they all tout? None of which actually sync everything properly anyway. Yandex is probably the worst in this regard. It syncs hardly anything. Most annoyingly it doesn't sync your extensions. So you have to manually re-install these on each new device.

Most of the other browsers do sync extensions but will not sync some settings or other. So that, even after syncing when installing a browser on a new device, I always have to trawl through all the settings anyway, just to find the ones which haven't synced properly and fix them.

On the contrary, I see a lot of dour young people, with kind of a 'lack of faith' in the general sense, which is really odd, and I suggest maybe a new concept in the west.

When I was very young we had the 'Cold War' with nukes starring right at us and we were full of ... gumption, positivity, pride, goodwill, hope etc..

Finally - I don't think positivity/pessimism matters that that much - you have to be a 'strong believer' in some capacity to innovate, the rest is head games.

Their statistical models aren't going to detect accurately a player getting help for a couple of moves during a game, which is already enough to make a big difference.

They may be able to detect consistent cheating over many games, but still, one can assume that cheating is pervasive in online platforms.
It's a beautiful thing that we can rebrand "hangry" as "warrior mode". I also noticed this and just came to the conclusion that having breakfast and being in a good mood ("off edge"/"relaxed"/"opposite of warrior mode") was more worth it.

> No idea if that was real though

Chose one :) You can't state it was a myth and then later say you don't know!

I've heard the same thing about older CRT monitors and remember reading about people damaging their CRT monitors by careless programming in regards to refresh rates. But I haven't actually seen in real life, and I must have read about this in the early 90s or something like that I think, so long time ago.
That is definitely not what this article is.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022
The most dangerous thing that can happen to an advanced economy is credit markets grinding to a halt. It was the panic of 1907 that created the federal reserve in the first place.

Over the ensuing decades there was a very awkward path to eventually figuring out that at the moments where a complete halt to credit markets looks imminent, the fed should step in and release the jam. What we’ve learned is that just the knowledge of the fed being able to just print and buy any debt and that they would do so caused major crises to be avoided (2008 and 2020).

The problem recently has been that this fed is simply incompetent. They do not form their own opinions and simply follow what the prevailing narrative dictates. If it’s consensus that rates should not be lifted, they just coast through those meetings towing the same line and continuing to buy bonds.

Then one day the narrative shifts and concern starts to grow over fed policy. So the fed suddenly reverses course and announces sudden rate hikes. When it turns out that cpi moves slower than the fed hoped, the pressure to intervene grows.

Now the consensus is that the fed should be making multiple 75-100 bps hikes so that’s what they do.

The question now is will the narrative shift fast enough for them to not end up going too far the other way.

I sincerely hope the next fed chair is someone who understands the relationship between credit markets and the economy and the need at times for the fed to be the lender of last resort, but also understands that the fed should be an independent entity capable of forming its own policy and having the courage to ignore what market pundits say should be done. The Fed’s mandate is not to make Wall Street happy.

Yes, but two problems…

Firstly, without a standard, your just engineering your own solutions and no one else can serendipitously solve your problems for you in the form of a product you can just buy, like the one in the posted article.

Secondly, USB is a much more complicated protocol than the PCI and ISA of days past. Not only that, but the standards are a patchwork of publicly available parts of an otherwise unavailable proprietary whole that the USB standards organisation gatekeeps access too. Yes enough of it is public you can make your own things, but no it’s not the same as things like the ISA bus which is completely documented. You can’t just whip up a cool gadget with logic and some memory then expose it to a computer and then the computer reads it… now you have a bunch of embedded device work to do so your gadget can initialise its side of the communication protocol and respond to whatever software you write sending it interrogation messages over whatever protocol you end up using. So much more complex.

I did a bunch of research recently on computer interface busses while looking for a “slot bus” to build something out of embedded hardware modules that were individually responsible for their on-board logic but needed a common backplane for power and inter module communication… seems simple right, well no… it turns out the last fully open well documented “passive backplane” bus was ISA bus. So I’ve had to begin pondering how to build my own solution, which will probably just be some kind of SPI which leads me to my current lament of standards other than USB, when everything is a USB device, if your use case is for something other than USB then your just out of luck.

This works pretty well but it's pretty basic. It doesn't for example list all HN comments and ascertain interests etc from there. Just the account info.
