“To this end, we will seek to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.

It is not our plan to occupy the Ukrainian territory.“

I interpret his speech as stating that Russia’s intention is to destroy the Ukraine military, and remove its government. Russia then plans to install their own government.

Is that not “intended to conquer”?

Am I misinterpreting his intention?
I think you are using "open" in one sense (open source) whereas the original meaning may have been in the sense of "more open use".

Obviously yes, Google is more open source than say apple, but clearly less than say red hat. That's not to say Google is "completely open source" but objectively it's "more" than some.

In terms of usability though Google is pretty open.

You can install any software on your android phone, whereas apple controls everything you do on ios.

You can access pretty much all Google services via an api, Facebook and twitter much less so.

In general, Google is more open in that sense.

In the sense of open source, Google is more open than some, but generally would not be considered an "open source company". Other than android there's not much offering there.

Knuth wrote that preface in the early 1960s, when it was indeed true that much of what little there was of published mathematical study related to programming was faulty. He succeeded incredibly well: he kickstarted the entire field of "analysis of algorithms", got all the details right and organized them extremely clearly, put it on a sound footing, and now mathematicians take it seriously, and published work in the area is of high quality.
What do you mean? 10 years ago all the nuclear proponents were arguing against renewables because they are too expensive supposedly. Now they are cheaper they make up new bogus arguments. Nuclear has had 70 years of massive subsidies (even excluding military spending) is still more expensive with lots of unsolved problems, but you say its the solution because renewables&storage are not reducing prices fast enough? Have a look at the price curves for solar, wind and batteries I can tell you only 3 of them are exponential price reduction curves and nuclear is not one of them.

Of course they are, currently there is a negative feedback loop in mainstream media and business news. They are reporting anything from a mild recession to economic collapse in the current slump; so the CEOs think about firing people then the media interviews/surveys execs and the cycle repeats and gets worse and worse until better economic information comes in.

I agree with everything you say, though I wonder a bit about this:

> the Dead is more or less 'boomer music' these days.

I haven’t lived in the U.S. for many years so I don’t know the current scene first-hand, but whenever I watch Grateful Dead videos on YouTube I start getting recommendations for videos of currently performing cover bands [1]. These include not only the groups that include surviving original members, like Dead & Company, but also a lot of younger bands throughout the country. Some stick to the original Dead repertoire fairly closely, while others mix it with their originals and with other covers. While Dead & Company seem to attract a lot of graybeards to their shows, the crowds for the younger bands look a lot younger.

Those videos stir mixed feelings in this graybeard. On the one hand, I’m happy to see young people enjoying the music I was into nearly fifty years ago (I attended my first Grateful Dead concert in 1973). On the other hand, shouldn’t young people be into newer music?

HealingGardens.co Healing Gardens — an AirBnb of gardens. We are a platform that allows users to safely reap the benefits of the Great Outdoors by reserving time at a nearby private garden and/or farm. Farms/Gardens on our platform have been offering very interesting things for guests such as birthday parties, wine tastings, gardening classes, micro weddings, sound baths, reptile rescue trainings and so many more things. Our reason to exist is two fold - to enable access to nature for people in cities. And secondly to make money for urban farmers. We started 2 years ago when I used nature to recover from acute anxiety attacks. That and a few other events made me realize the difference access to nature could make to the mental health of people. So with the help of my cofounder who is an urban gardener for 8+ years, we started to think of ways we can help. So far we have helped 40 gardens make $100K+. And guests continously give the gardens amazing reviews. You can read some of them on google.

We are looking for help in continuously improving our tech specially our backend. Currently the backend is an .Net API on a Postgres DB. To connect, you can email: abhi@healinggardens.co
Preparbation is a great term :-) I always try to conciously remind myself to avoid diminishing returns when doing this kind of stuff (i.e 80/20 rule), but that sums up nicely with just the right amount of sting.
That seems true.

However, I think that if an interpreter does the execution, the interpreter can check every "instruction" that is executed. If every instruction is checked, how could that be evaded?

Honest question because I can't see how, and I need to.

The context for this is an interpreter that doesn't allow direct syscalls; only syscalls through the interpreter.

It seems even D has that because dynamic allocation could call `mmap()`, and you mentioned that D allows comptime dynamic allocation. So I'm confused.
That is already public for things like executive positions, but you'll still have the problem of verifying that it's the actual person creating the account.

Debian accepts proprietary firmware in major policy change
The beginning of the article is an excellent (though conventional) introduction to Bayes and Bayesian updating, but what I found original and have never seen expressed so clearly were the remarks about dishonest discussion tactics, especially the first one:

Formulate a vague hypothesis H1 so broad that it is not extremely unlikely (thus has non-negligible prior, P(H1) > 0), then in the updating step sneakily introduce a much more specific hypothesis H1’ that is far less likely a priori, but that yields a high probability for the evidence P(E|H1’).

If the audience doesn’t notice the bait and switch, it’ll come away with the impression that the evidence strongly supports H1/H1’ vis-à-vis H0, when it actually doesn’t.

Reminiscent of the Motte and Bailey fallacy.

It's worse than that.

FB sent me and my cofounder a C&D for our side project, then wanted to hire me for their "black clique" in NYC to work on react ~2015 when i was working on brain computer interfaces at the time at a lab.

You know you are gonna get the "easy lay up", everyone there will know it too (I'm not the type to put much effort into studying for tech interviews and I have cheme background not compsi so i find the questions dull many times). And all of the "of color" people who play into it for their personal benefit just make it worse... (not to mention, even for a lot of these kinds of software jobs i had that weren't very interesting intellectually but paid alot, I pretty much vaped as much weed as I could just to make to lunch, and I would have played into all those sterotypes about black men as well...)

Fuck em.
Idle power consumption for Apple Silicon Mac is low despite it's workstation, it's outlier. Average Intel desktop consumes similar or a little more power for idle, that is acceptable IMO for flexibility and reuse. Maybe DIY PC consumes a bit more than average Dell desktop even if CPU is same. Average Intel workstation/server consumes much more than them so it's wasteful for almost idle server. So it depends on what is the previous PC.
I was part of Orchard and miss it dearly. It had a lot of potential but it was launched as a proof of concept built on pooled resources freed up from optimizing legacy workloads (namely, moving Siri from VMware to Mesos).

I feel like you're the kind of commenter the author is advising against taking advice from. Someone learning Scala presumably cares much less about gaining "awareness of the Scala ecosystem" than writing their first Scala program.

Apologies for this newb question, but if you will be adding a proxy, aren't you required to bind it to 0.0.0.0, since if you bind it to 127.0.0.1, only a request within the service's host will be able to receive a response? I'd like to know what I'm misunderstanding here.

I find communication to be more of a symptom than a root cause. You can try and act like you're not demeaning, not hurtful, and a good listener. Thus would just be an act, and sooner or later, the truth will come out.
> Renewables have yet to demonstrate the ability to replace fossil fuels in any meaningful way. They seem to top out at 10-20% of the energy mix.

This is just utterly wrong.

In the UK 43% of power came from renewables in 2021: https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/energy-explained/how-mu...

Even in California renewables are at 33%: https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/califo...
But isn't inflation measured by some kind of average price index?

If the consumer-price-index goes up we call it inflation whether it's caused by " central bank creating more money than its public wants to hold." or not?

Is it possible to measure "how much money public will want to hold"?

It is silly, I agree with that. When I find a solution with stackoverflow or a forum or whatever, I tend to not remember well the next time I have this problem. On the other hand, if I'm forced to understand what's happening and what should I do, I will remember it and learn something. I don't know if it's a character flaw or a memory issue, but that's how I work. You don't seem to work the same way and that's fine, it's just how things are.

> I'm the last person on Earth to tell someone to be patient, but if you actually want to ship a company's production code in Gleam or Crystal, I highly suggest you put up 2-4 small projects first

As someone who has used Nim in-anger and production at a couple companies now (and am currently using it to build our firmware for our industrial IoT sensor platform), I can wholeheartedly agree with this.

The first couple things I built in it at previous positions were small internal tools. They went well, team members contributed to them as well, things were good. It was that, plus the unique constraints of this firmware project that allowed us to have the confidence that it would work well -- and it has.

Of course, Nim is sort of cheating, as it being able to be compiled-to-C-sources means we have an out at any point we want, both in terms of being able to easily bind and use driver code from vendors, to wrapping up a Nim object file with a nice C header to call from some C/C++ code if need be.

Now: our backend is Java, and our front-end is Typescript and React. Pick your battles! If we were swinging for the fences with some other niche server side, and Elm or something (as much as I enjoy playing with it) for the client-side, as well as trying to use something non-standard for the firmware itself, I'm sure we would've failed immediately.

But we have our devices out in the wild in rural Papua New Guinea where no one's going to be flashing our boards for us, and they're working fantastically :)
> The defining feature of Communism is the State owns everything in a classless society. I invite you to consult any reference. The difference is not semantic; it is a completely different system. What you are talking about is not Communism by any definition, including Marx's. You may as well have said 'coprophagia'.

This is absolutely incorrect. It is obvious you yourself haven't consulted any reference whatsoever. Communism aims for a stateless society. From the very first line in wikipedia

"Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal')[1][2] is a far-left[3][4][5] sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology and current within the socialist movement[1] whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange—allocating products to everyone in the society.[6][7][8] It also involves the absence of social classes, money,[9] and the state.[10][11][12]"

And even as a colloquialism it is well known that Communism means that "the workers own the means of production".

Further

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateless_society

"Some political philosophies, particularly anarchism, consider the state an unwelcome institution and stateless societies the ideal, while Marxism considers that in a post-capitalist society the state would be unnecessary and wither away.
"

Your statement about Marx and Communism is clearly absolutely false. The utopian Marxist communist society is stateless. The only purpose of a state like entity in a Marxist society is to hold democratic elections to arrive at consensus, in particular the state-analogous entity cannot bear any weapons or use violence and judges and courts will be democratically elected and not run by "professionals" (aka bourgeoisie). This is explicitly described as a utopian society.

> See the afore-cited Mondragon Corporation, larger even than Amul,

Simple yes/no question - do the workers own the means of production in Mondragon?

> It isn't specifically Catholic

Of course, I explicitly said that I was being pedantic. I only said that to hold a mirror to your pedantry, where you refuse to acknowledge that workers owning the means of production is the defining characteristic of a communist collective. Instead, you go off on tangents about how marx himself said that a communist society implies centralized state power, which is clearly false. It is infact the opposite.
Burnt out engineer looking to break free from his golden handcuffs
As the title implies I’m a full stack engineer that’s looking to take a break from working for enterprise companies and reignite my passion for coding and life.

Ideally I’d like to quit sometime at the start of 2023 and travel, work on personal projects, and just be free for a bit from Jira tickets, and project managers.

I have 0 debt, and about 65k in reserves.

What I’m hoping to get are advice/inspiration/ideas from anyone whose done/doing the same thing.
1. How did you stay afloat financially without blowing through your savings?
2. Any general advice on things to look for or avoid during this time?
Sorry if this vague sounding, I’m still figuring this out and just in general looking for inspiration. Thanks!

I felt the heroin-soaked period of 73-77 was the best Dead of them all (some tunes down to almost 60 beats per minute) though as they started to pick up a bit in 78 that was pretty great too.

By the late 80s they had ended up as a really good cover band playing Grateful Dead material. Though there were flashes of brilliance even then, I had a hard time getting up the energy to hear anything but local shows.

I didn't (and don't like) taking the drugs myself, though there was always a contact high / breathing the atmosphere that would tune me up. But the drugs just got in the way of the music.
I don't understand your argument. The EU is significantly smaller than the US and the US has much more climate variation across its area. Moreover integrating the EU energy grids is more difficult considering they are separate countries. Still it's happening and not due to government policies, but because it is good investment to connect e.g. Norway to Germany.

In the US it could be much easier to build an integrated grid. There have been many simulations that showed one could fulfil the US electricity needs based on renewables and overprovisioning alone. Any storage makes it actually cheaper.

You saw that whole spiel about my desire to exchange my labor for money to support my addiction to food and shelter?

I have no desire to be a starving artist. I turn requirements into code so businesses with money will give me some of it by adding business value. I don’t program to create the next Picasso.

I stopped considering programming “fun” after doing it for 10 years across 4 assembly languages (65C02, 68K, PPC, x86) before I graduated from college in 1996.

> and probably even leave your nice cushy gig to give a professional life in that stack a shot

So tell me again why I would leave my “cushy gig” (and it is the cushiest gig you can imagine in any BigTech company)?

> you can be proficient and productive in a language that you can't easily google a solution for, you're probably an excellent candidate for promotion into the higher echelons.

Every single leveling guideline I have seen at any tech company doesn’t mention “ability to code in an esoteric language well”. It’s all about “scope”, “impact”, “managing ambiguity”, etc. “Coding ability” really only comes into play from junior to mid. After that it is about system design even at the interviews.
