Lastly Amazon is very bad for shopping.

I used to buy on Amazon when I wanted branded products with insurance. Opposite to buy on AliExpress, ebay, ... For some items.

But there are 2 very big problems:.
Amazon mixing the stock of all the sellers selling the same thing. So, when you want something like a USB key or SSD, sdcards, even if the listing and the seller you are looking at looks legit, you don't know where the item will come from, it can easily be fake as it will not necessarily come from the stock of this seller.

Having to send back, be reimbursed, and reorder is not a solution. You loose a lot of time, and energy with stress. Maybe you needed that for a time sensitive usage.

Also, the second issue I noticed is that it is now very hard to find good branded products with Amazon search. It looks like that they are mostly Amazon owned brands or a few sponsored products that show up. But there is not anymore the large choice of products that you would expect. I noticed that when looking for a vacuum cleaner for example!
Same feelings about those bridges in Italy not too long ago.
It is not clear if it is copper (communication, not power) cables or fibre.
Do you mind explaining what kind of policy making you are referring too? It's proving difficult to search for.
Yeah, by following the "documentation" and "best practices."
It's not an obsession, and the commit history isn't perfect by any means.

But don't underestimate the value of a good commit history, especially if you are using git blame to understand a change from several years ago. Wading through small typo fixes gets in the way.

Git encourages you to use branches, and rebasing allows you to squash simple typo fixes and minor changes, so you can review a change with a few commits that are easier to understand instead of a dozen.

Used with cherry picking, you can also move commits to other branches. I often find that bigger features changes turn into multiple branches and PRs, which is easier to review.

The cost isn't very much. Maybe a few minutes at most reorganizing a branch.

It also forces me to review the branch before submitting a PR. Sometimes I catch issues or use that as an opportunity to split into multiple PRs.
I think the three points might have held some truth in an earlier phase of the war. Now that the Ukrainians gained some ground in Lyman (important logistical train hub in the east), the advantages of cutting off the bridge might have multiplied.

In hindsight cutting the east train hub first and then cutting the bridge certainly seems to be the better strategical order of operations than the other way around.
Not so great if you have to price insurance against such accidents into your operating costs; while competing against other means of electricity generation.
So we should send all journalists and foreign policy establishment "experts"?
Does that mean that the secure enclave technology will die? Feels like:

1. SGX is just an implementation, could be replaced by something else.
2. SGX still works on CPUs that have it.
It's not, especially on the weekend. The freight delays might be somewhat of an issue over the next few days but on the passenger side it's a mild inconvenience at best. It disrupted the rail network country-wide to some degree but the public rail infrastructure in Germany isn't really known for it's reliability anyway.
Worth watching is the moment Shatner tries to explain his experience to Bezos, and Bezos barely listens. A portrait of two very different men.

They're opposites: one's being far removed from humans, one's seeing too much of them at once. Try building a 50k-capacity orbital hotel for instagram tourists, and see what happens to this #OverviewEffect.
It's a completely ridiculous claim that Adam Back is Satoshi. He's just not smart enough.
I see it as less “both sideism” and more “maybe we can be the baddies too”.
Your comment made me laugh, but seriously, Baby Shark succeeded because of the platform it was on, and how little kids today are virtually glued to that platform. I wouldn't really compare the two, let alone Baby Shark has almost nothing to do with a live shared experience, but also it's just a different product altogether. It's like comparing MASH to Coca Cola, sure more people will be able to recall Coca Cola over MASH, but that doesn't really say anything I suppose.
I really enjoyed "Learn C The Hard Way" by Zed Shaw. His style of learning resonates with me.

Why not make 2FA opt-out? This would work for most cases or am I missing something?
Why don't you understand that there's nuance and subtlety in human interaction?
Writing programming ebooks. Works for me as I live alone in a developing country.
I’m feeling that way, too, but I’m also aware of confirmation bias (or maybe it’s a different bias?), similar things might happen normally, but we don’t remember them because they are unrelated events in other years, yet now we make connections where none are.

> always sophisticated enough that it would require knowledgeable state actors.

Maybe I’m missing something, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here?
This is the correct take. Hippies, Flower Power, Love-Ins and so on cannot be properly understood without the context of the Vietnam War and the draft.
Apparently two lines were sabotaged earlier today, one in Berlin and one in Dortmund [1].

The two cities are around 500km / 300mi apart.

If you speculate, you need to be ready for such massive swings. I just drip buy/sell as the market goes down/up.
Wouldn't these types of changes more commonly be caught while testing against a branch?

Also in many cases I would think that the fix ends up being even smaller (or bigger) than a single commit (the commit isn't actually atomic).

Maybe the codebases I've worked on weren't active enough for this to be a common problem. But also, having too many cooks in the kitchen may be a part of the problem here too.
Careful.

That 90% could lead to a bankruptcy soon.

Changing employers might still mean a big drop in stock from when you start. Unemployment still hasn’t ticked down, the Fed is not done with its job of squashing inflation.

Good companies are giving solid refreshers to ensure you are paid more fairly moving forward. See if your company will do that, it’s sorta the same as getting a new offer elsewhere. If your current company won’t do that, that is a bad sign they are worried about bankruptcy and you should indeed leave.
I suggest reading a really good book, or if you're feeling ambitious perhaps you could start writing a really good one.
there are as many meanings of "technical" as there are crafts[0], a corporate job likely include many hours each day working at a computer where you will encounter a lot of the various UX patterns that anyone else would encounter.

You do not need to be a programmer or work in IT to know how to use a computer effectively.

On the other hand there are people that do not use computers nor smartphone features that aren't also offered in feature phones.

So my point of view is now Russian propaganda? I am not excusing what Russia is doing yet you and others keep saying I do.

Yes, Russia could just leave, why aren't we trying to convince them of that other than supporting Ukraine with weapons? Where is the dialog? To make it clear, by dialog I do not mean conseeding any territory or giving into Putin.
Unfortunately used 500es have gone from around 7k to around 14k, which is a much less compelling price for a deeply flawed vehicle. Otoh, if you like that size, I tend to feel there will never be small EVs that are still full speed cars again, so…
Does anyone have information on which system was affected? GSM-R or the ESTW uplink?
This make me wonder if flat-earth and other limiting cosmological views are mental shields against the realization that nothing matters except our peculiar existence.
You don’t need to implement a generic option type. It’s easy enough to implement ad hoc like we do/did with linked lists pre-generics.

You’d end up with them supporting exactly what they did before but with new reasons why.
The insinuation/assumption that social media somehow had an obvious negative effect on people's beliefs world wide compared to the past. A statement in the form of a post on HN social media and an often propagated popular opinion on other social media. An opinion thay I completely disagree with, discussed/questioned on this same social media. Freely.

How meta. How ironic.
Yeah but I would assume the same attack is not going to be successfully against the same target a second time. So they are essentially providing free pentesting. And creating a climate that allows governments to introduce much stronger security measures. Without creating much actual damage.

Also I wonder if it was a physical oder purely software attack? If it was a physical attack on a critical system, it could have been anybody, not just state actors.
So the first step would be to ask them why it isn't showing up on Google right?
Again, no. You have to trust your eyes before you walk on a bridge (maybe there is no bridge, and your eyes are being magically tricked into seeing one?), you have to trust that the bridge will not collapse while you are on it. Don't want to trust the bridge?

Trusting means taking risks, for sure. But there is still trust.

Wasn't he in the same ship as Shatner?
This was very well written, very insightful and humble. Considering he's usually an asshole to people IRL. But I guess he just comes off that way when he wants to convey his truth to people. Not completely foreign to myself, having discovered that I'm actually autistic in my late 30s. That explained a lot.

Anyways, this overview effect is something I always felt, even without going into space. I always felt we were wasting time with our squabbling over borders down here. I think most scifi geeks feel this way, and I don't mean star trek scifi, I mean Alastair Reynolds, Ian Banks and such.

But the problem is that the solution my mind always reaches for requires autocracy to fix the problems. So in a sense our problems are caused by our desire to be free.

Honestly I don't think most of us are more than trained apes, do we deserve to be free and pollute our earth? I don't want autocracy but I definitely want a lot stronger government to regulate our problems away. Globally.
I'm sitting on a train in northern Germany right now. We're invited to a wedding, we were supposed to take a train at 8:45, it is 14:45 now and we're not even halfway there. The whole thing is crazy chaotic because the delayed trains now compete for space on the same train tracks. Too many people are trying to enter the trains so that the trains wait in the individual train stations until the police comes and forces people out. I think this will continue to derail the whole system for the whole weekend.
So when has this actually happened? There is a roughly zero percent chance that on any given flight, instructions to disable your phones are followed 100%. So, I think it's reasonable to suggest that literally every commercial flight flown in the past 15-ish years has done so with some device onboard that isn't in airplane mode.

Given that - why aren't airplanes constantly falling out of the sky? If this is the situation on every single flight, why isn't what you are suggesting actually happening?

edit: a downvote isn't exactly an answer, and I think it's a fair question. If the assertion is that cell phones etc cause serious problems for aircraft operations, then why are we not seeing it actually happen? Or are we saying that everyone on the flight is, in fact, turning every single electronic device they own off, every time, every device, for every person?
> in article 5, Conveying Modified Source Versions, it only says that the work must do the following:

You have to keep reading the entire license...

Section 6 of v3 begins:

I assume it’s sarcasm, but personally I’m a bit disappointed he hasn’t gone complete Lex Luthor yet. If we’re going to have billionaires in space we might as well get an origin story out of it.
Never released. They did have an Opteron A1100 which was 3 years later than its orginal announcement date (released in 2017, announced for 2014)... and somehow I couldn't even find proper overview of its performance.

So AMD hasn't had much in the ARM department in the past 5-7 years.
We are the baddies. I live in a small EU country, and have soldiers in syria now.

We could atleast have pulled them back home, before pointing a finger at putin, but we didn't even do that (and they'd all fit in a minibus).

We're currently destroying our own economies because someone else is doing something that we've been doing for years now. Technically we deserve being cold and maybe some kind of a revolution, because we've deserved it for destroying countries all around the world, but I'd prefer things to stop and normalize before we all freeze to death here.
Wow, at the beginning I was thinking 'you can't really tell if he's listening or not, looking at him through sunglasses, and to be fair I would struggle to hear/pay attention over all that in thale background' - but by the end... Yeah it's very clear where he wants to be!
Why and no.

Do you have any source for this? This explanation is perfect to explain some friends about why they should be wary of buying electronics from Amazon
Does this recall have anything to do with using an EV powertrain? I doubt there is a vehicle marketed that never had some recall on it, though the severity will differ a lot. I wonder if the recalls mentioned perhaps just get more press since the EV market is heating up and is more newsy.
They're going through it now.

Just go on reddit and you'll see several videos of Ukrainian drone dropping bombs on clearly wounded Russian soldiers and you'll see a whole comment section celebrating the war crime.

From the top comment:

Bezos is a real piece of shit.
That same org also explicitly calls out button cells are not being covered. They really aren't the same thing as a rechargeable lithium ion cell.
Ask HN: How is the code from the IOCCC contest submissions shaped / indented?
Some, if not most, of the code submissions sent to IOCCC are indented / "shaped".

Examples:

* https://www.ioccc.org/2018/vokes/prog.c

* https://www.ioccc.org/2018/yang/prog.c

* https://www.ioccc.org/2018/poikola/prog.c

* https://github.com/mame/quine-relay/blob/master/QR.rb

How is the code of all these submissions formatted / shaped? Is it done by hand? Or is there some tool / way of automating the "shaping" of a given chunk of code?
> Yeah but I would assume the same attack is not going to be successfully against the same target a second time.

That's a bold assumption
No you are not missing anything in my opinion.

The reason this is not offered (IMHO) is that a lot the use (on the users side) of 2FA is from people that want better security, while a lot of the push (on the developer side) for 2FA is from people that would like to see the use of passwords almost disappear.
The damage to the rail-bridge must be quite limited, since Russia’s transport ministry reports trains will be running again at 8pm local time tonight [1].

Second part of "Crafting Interpreters" shows how to write a bytecode interpreter in C. But the book assumes you know some C.
Sure. I just don't get what your point is. Since you don't trust any communications at all, then let's use whatever has the best UX even if it is plaintext, and live with the consequences of mass surveillance?
I went from south to north and back a few days ago. Both times the train was almost an hour late. News should report when German trains are on time for a change.
It's an obvious and clearly legitimate military target for the liberation of Crimea. Russians living in Crimea have had 8 years to move away from there.

This is a great read and I will be sure to use this when a project I have in mind needs to parse a variety of feeds. So far the default .NET SyndicationFeed class works well though.

Always wished RSS/ATOM had a dedicated field for images. Why didn’t they? Currently it always seems to involve some inline HTML in a CDATA element. Pretty gross.
And the ones sent to iraq wanted to be there... and die there? Or to afghanistan?

Can't afford US college? Go to army! Can't afford a doctor? Army will fix you up! Join, a few peaceful years at a few bases, you'll have a college degree, you'll make mama proud, just sign here, you're 18 already, you can't buy beer yet, but you can join the army!

Add some "fighting for US freedom" propaganda, and end up as a homeless disabled veteran after the war.
this looks extremely handy and i have no idea how they wrote it son succinctly. i’m very curious about what the development tools the authors of these tools are using today.
Grokking Algorithms. Not exactly the book that teaches how to program, but is great, beginner-friendly introduction to a bunch of important concepts and algorithms in computer science.
Not at all, I have been working remotely for a while now, but I always kept clear separation between my home and my work (for the most part).

So, I always go to coffee shops, libraries, coworking, bars, to get some work done.

I work a few hours home at most, not enough for me to feel lonely
> Including an ETag or Last-Modified header in the body of a request when fetching a feed is a mechanism to tell the server to only return new/modified entries/items (aka: a changeset) since a specific date.

That's not right, is it? The headers are defined at the http level and with caching layers in between, the endpoint is free to return the current feed - with both new and seen entries. Are there many servers optimising that to a shorter feed?

At the very least, static blogs will not filter the entries - they're serving / not serving the same file, regardless of etag.
There are reports that a cable was severed.

German rail not known for its reliability... really?! Perhaps not in Germany. But in most other countries, German rail is perceived to be very reliable. And compared to rail in most other countries, German rail is very reliable!
Of course now that he's aware that the mistake was on his side, he has apologised and amended his Twitter posts. Because he wants his followers to get accurate information that allows them to make informed decisions based on rational thinking, not emotional outrage or base tribal instincts exacerbated by misleading information propagated by echo chambers. Because he understands that preserving a well functioning democracy and dialog is more important than advancing his own interests. Of course.
All inventory filled by Amazon (almost all prime goods are filled this way) is commingled by sku. This allows amazon to distribute the items across warehouses and give faster delivery times.
Problem comes when another seller claims to sell the same item. They send their fake items in marked as the real thing. They get mixed with all the real ones.
Now when an order is placed from legitimate seller it can be filled using fake inventory.
Oh yes and it can be annoying. Especially bad it is for any other Language than English. Every evening me and my children have problems like this: "Alexa spiele Paw Patrol Folge 67 auf Spotify" "OK Paw patrol Folge 122 auf Spotify wird abgespielt..." "ALEXA STOP!!1"

I have no accent or such, plain standard German,same for my wife and Kids - Alexa drives us crazy with wrong understood episodes and sometimes titles.
You only lose if you sell.
Hopefully. Get all those democratic idiots out of power that have lead us to to the brink of financial collapse and nuclear war.
It would have to be huge to be seen with telescopes as good as ours.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smallest_exoplanets:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDSS_J1228%2B1040_b has about 1/1000 the radius of Jupiter, but only could be detected because it’s heavy at 70% of the mass of the sun.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-37b is larger than the moon.

So, it seems we can’t (¿yet?) build such a structure in a way that makes it visible enough.

If we let go of the idea that a proposal must be feasible with current tech, here’s an idea: split the sun in two halves, creating a binary star system. Then, merge the two again. Repeat. That should draw attention.
"Learn to program" by Chris Pine https://pragprog.com/titles/ltp3/learn-to-program-third-edit... is a good book for beginners.
This is surprisingly a live issue in northern Japan where they solicit for signatures for petitions at festivals, aiming I suppose to get the Japanese government to pressure Russia to return the Kurils. I don't believe that it's ever going to happen except after the complete defeat of Russia in a world war.
