I am rather surprised in the confidence of Vladimir Putin‘s nuclear arsenal, and even his willingness to use it. He may say launch the missile, but I think there’s less than a 10% chance it will actually happen. Not only that, we have to consider the technological and maintenance capabilities of the systems. If Russia launches a missile, it’s a 50-50 that it won’t just turn around and come right back down on them.

The chances of a nuclear strike by Russia ate very, very low and most of this talk is sensationalism.
On top of taking regular breaks, I think we should also work slower. Burnout is a scary place to be in. While the news calls it “quiet quitting”, I think many people are simply burnt out from the last few years of world conditions and add on the rubber band effect of everything going back to “normal”. It’s just too much change in a short amount of time.

I wrote a book about this topic when I was in a state of burnout. I had enough of the many different aspects of the world (overwork, the news, social media, etc) that I believe led to stress based illness.

I don’t feel bad for taking time off anymore. You got to put yourself first sometimes to be able to show up for others.
I've done that 4 times, AMEX has a block (multiple blocks as per the reps). But the charges still go through (that's another story).

The AMEX people just keep saying Stripe has a "iron clad contract" so even with that, they cannot do much.

I am not saying it is a 100% Stripe. But why would a company like Stripe allow me to do (successfully) 7 chargebacks in a row. At what point would an account be shut down or a subscription terminated? If this was PayPal, the account would have been frozen ages ago.
Dear diary. Thanks diary.

Maybe a year ago I felt sluggish at times. Slower to process and react. I had to manually think through things that I could normally do on autopilot. I was concerned about my long-term health.

A four-day weekend seemed to fix that.
UK has been so hot and dry this year that you are getting wild fires in England. WTF is wrong with people here are you guys so brainwashed by all the propaganda from oil and gas companies that you need to qualify every data point about global warming as maybe. In the last year we have got a huge number of data points from around the world showing effects of global warming but each article on hackernews about it top comment is a qualifying statement. Stop being ostriches and burying your head in the sand.
Generally, if I have to pull a massive effort (an all-nighter), which only happens a few times a year, I start with writing some tests that will keep the bug introduction problem to a minimum.

It works, though the frustration level is high. But better catch the bugs early than late.

Nah, the eierlegende Wollmilchsau is good for everything, but unattainable. Our government is good for nothing, but we can't get rid of it. So ... it's the exact opposite.
That's my take as well: 16%-80% probability of Russia using a one-off scare strike, "Hiroshima" style to "stop the war". ≈ 0% that the West will retaliate.

>Ukraine was a part of Russia then. Just as a Pole I am not surprised a bunch of nukes was targetting my home country - we were a vassal state to Russia back then, so that was to be expected.

So you hate Russia for saving you from Hitler but you suck America's arse even though they were quite prepared to completley annihilate your country and all your people [including all your friends and family and everyone you knew] because you were a 'vassal state to Russia'?

Duh. I'm talking specifically about session_*. This data isn't magically stored in the air and if you use more than a single machine, you need to implement the SessionHandlerInterface with a solution like redis or memcached in a clustered setup. That's literally the same as using any other language, plus such map-reduce kv stores.

Since you mention that I wouldn't need php-fpm and opcache, I assume that you haven't worked at scale with php. php might be a good fit as long as you don't have any users, but this isn't true for everyone.
> Because the vast majority of people would not consent.

Many people would click No when asked "Can we track you?". Yet, fewer people would click No when asked "Can we show you ads that are closely related to your interests"? Likely even more people would agree with "Are you willing to share some data so we can improve our product?". And maybe most people would actually be ok with websites including Google Fonts [1].

Of course, when too many people agree with the proposition, then the question must be legally mandated to be more scary.

The truth is that "people" are fundamentally not on the side of the privacy advocates. This is the whole reason for the GDPR. People are perfectly happy to share their data in exchange for using those services. Fundamentally, GDPR advocates are claiming that people just don't get it, and should not be allowed to make this choice. Which is why websites are not allowed to make their service conditioned on consent to tracking.

This is still an annoying banner somewhere. Please no.

Very similar in Texas - it is called At Will employment. Other states are Right to Work. Each has pros and cons. I’ve only lived and worked in Texas so At Will is very close to “for any reason” as long as it’s not against the law. Don’t like your haircut? They can shut can you on the spot.

On the flip side, if one day you go in and you’ve just had enough of the hourly retail job and think you can get a better one, you can up and walk out then and there. Usually we flash the double V for Victory sign and say “Peace out!” when that’s the case. It’s fun.

I remember working as a waiter once and the Manager started assigning employees cleaning duties like getting on ladders for ceiling vents. Waiters get paid by tips, salary was $2.13 an hour at the time. When he asked me I told him I wouldn’t do it and would call the Workforce Commission if he wanted to push the issue. Needless to say I was the only front of house person not cleaning shit like a chump that day.
(Sam from Stripe here.) Sorry for the issues so far. Could you email me more details at smca[at]stripe.com? I'll dig into this.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!

The scenario in that novel can't actually happen. Even widespread radioactive contamination from a full-scale nuclear war at the height of the Cold War couldn't throw enough radioactive material into the atmosphere to cause acute radiation poisoning across the entire planet.

"The Silent Spring" has always been poetic license when it comes to nuclear weapons. We could cause a civilizational setback on an unimaginable, possibly unrecoverable scale for the human race...but we couldn't make ourselves extinct that way (for one thing: kind of a lot of people in Africa and South America, land of nobody's nuclear target). But the long term effects would be a slightly increased incidence of cancer and birth defects across the globe, but more people will die in the resultant famine from the collapse of global food production then will die due to direct or indirect effects of nuclear weapons.

Make no mistake: it would be the end of the comfortable 1st world lifestyle we know, possibly for good. But humans have existed on this planet for tens of thousands of years in circumstances far worse then now, and we have endured and continued reproducing regardless.
Chocolate supports endorphins too so it’s a good reward
I work with a project manager who is obsessed with deadlines. "Hey do you have an update? When do you think it will be done? Hey, the deadline is really close!" They maintain a complicated Gantt chart. What happens when we miss the deadline? Nothing really, our updates aren't on a fixed timeline, and our users are very happy with our product today. Everything is artificial.
I will send the full details/email chain tomorrow morning. I appreciate you looking into it, but why does this type of interaction require a HN article for a response? Why do none of the regular methods go anywhere?
I would say they’re ok now. But that being said, I feel like we’re putting too much emphasis on the ease of integration anyway. Sure, it’s your first interaction with a payment gateway. But it’s also something you really only do once... I believe other criterias are a lot more important.
Oh heck, I strongly agree. I just meant it as a joke to optimize for maximum profits. :)
Even the oil and gas companies realise they cant gaslight people anymore about the obvious signs of global warming so have changed the argument to global warming being man made or or not. Not that global warming is not happening.
I've got a brand new card number, CVC, etc. They can still charge it because the subscription contract exists, there is nothing AMEX can do.

Even with a brand new credit card, reported as stolen, what ever. If a monthly subscription contract exists (which you sign once you click that button to pay $5 monthly I guess), they can continue charging the account.

This was what AMEX rep told me.
Hey, this is me.

This is extremely privileged advice, but the only thing I managed to do to help was to have a second place to go to where I didn't work - in my case a little cabin in the woods. Going there on the weekend forces me to take breaks. If I'm at home I'm working. It doesn't help that I'm a solo founder. Work is very rewarding but it can also be all consuming. And there my piano sits untouched.

The most important elements of the submission (abstract and description) are there. There's no reason to try to 'game' this, just submit a good talk proposal on a topic that aligns with the focus tracks of the conference.

It's not, Stripe is the world before PayPal, annoying, and no protection against chargebacks/frauds, worse, you have to pay whenever it happen

Distributed is nice, but still can be centralized.
Since the lawsuit was successful, the order given was proven to not be lawful. Thus, not insubordination.
I think genetic engineering is a clear example of massive progress in the last few decades and it’s only accelerating.
You seem to have missed the word "lawful".
Ah, very nice.

That should reduce the effort needed to something you might be able to make quick work of, yourself, with some thought about how to walk the vectors in a spiral or something like the zigzags.

This website [1] recommends a tool called vpype [2] which might have an option to do what you need or might be able to be tweaked to do what you need.

Apparently vpype makes some trade-offs in exactness of reproduction for better flexibility, but it does claim to try to honor stroke width.

I’d have recommend digging into SuperSlicer’s code, but their algorithm relies on meshes, so it may not translate as readily.

Nonethless, it is worth mentioning that 3d printer slicing software can handle around a dozen or so different patterns. Spirals, rectilinear, star shapes, etc. so you might find inspiration there.

2. He says "We will protect our land with all the forces and means at our disposal and will do everything to ensure the safe life of our people. This is the great liberation mission of our people." The key point here is "our land" - this includes the newly annexed oblasts "all the forces and means at our disposal" - this includes nuclear forces.

In other words he is saying that Russia can use nuclear forces to protect Donetsk / Luhansk / Crima from Ukraine.

The issue with waiting out Putin is that it assumes any successor would be more likely to go for a peaceful/negotiated solution. I think this is shortsighted as the most credible opposition figures take a far more hawkish stance, which would increases the odds of an all-out escalation.
`Happy' memories of hiking in the Cairngorms, not in winter, crossing a snow patch, losing any grip on it, sliding down, with, thankfully, my father just below to catch me (it was steep, and stretching a long way below).

I don't think it was this snow patch, but it was in the same area of the Cairngorms.
I do the same. I think it's an effect of ADHD in that it's likely a deficit of forward planning.

I've been burned out from every job I've ever done, even where I initially enjoyed it. Maybe my eventual retirement will be better.

Probably my eventual death will be even better. Can't get worried and stressed and sick from it all when you're no longer alive. Thankful that the eternal peace of non-existence is inevitable.
You could force 3ds authentication for every charge. Works in Europe, as SDA is mandatory. Also supported with like >98% of customers from NA. Just very few banks do not support 3ds.
> ... lawful order ...

That's why it is not insubordination, the order must be lawful. Your boss is your superior but there are plenty of possible scenarios where disobeying their orders is not insubordination.
Besides that, your boss is not in a position to give you orders. It is a work place not a prison or a platoon.

In modern times insubordination is almost always related to military contexts.
Good point. I'll add an instruction to switch rotation direction to the hardest one for you.
No offence but you clearly have never worked for “the vendor side”!

Do you know how many thousands of time wasters you get a month? People comparing you to the competition, trying to get a master class from you so they can pose as a consultant for your technology, learning from you so they can apply for a job… the list goes on and on.

Give them all swag…?! Hahahaha there would be people lining up to waste your time and get free swag.

Thank god for the BDRs making sure you’re not some underling with no budget, authority, need or time pressure. Yep that’s BANT for you!

Discounting discussions should be simple: you buy more? You pay less. You commit for longer? You pay less. Simple.

It’s painful when the prospect start calling you expensive, saying the competition is cheaper, that there could be a “partnership” because they are the hottest newest crypto-quantum-ai to revolutionise web3.

Gimme a break!
There may be another way for the employee to get his money: Provided that the company still has a bank account somewhere in the EU (except Denmark), a creditor can apply that the funds are to be freezed. The debtor does not have to be informed of this in advance. Then a court order can be obtained to be paid out of the freezed funds.

See: https://e-justice.europa.eu/379/EN/european_account_preserva...

lawful just means the order itself wasn't illegal. It doesn't mean that it's "enforcing the law"

If I tell you to go buy 10 apples, refusing would be insubordination because it's legal to buy apples.

If I tell you to go steal 10 apples, refusing would not be insubordination because it's legal to buy apples.

Until the court ruled against them, the view of the firm would have been it was legal to require someone to have their camera on. Hence they viewed it as insubordination to refuse.

They are wrong, it's not insubordination, but it's not unfair of them to think it was.
Yes

In the US though, compensation for software developers is very bi-modal. You have the “enterprise shops” that start off around $80K and max out in the mid $100s and the “tech companies” that start out in the mid $100s and end up in the $350K+ range.

Most of the 2.7 million developers in the US are on the “enterprise dev” side. If you have a choice, you want to be on the “tech company” side if you care about your compensation.

For context: because of path dependencies and bad career choices, I spent most of my career from 1996 - 2020 on the “enterprise dev” side and only got into $BigTech by pivoting to cloud consulting (enterprise dev + cloud + a shit ton of yaml/HCL PowerPoint slides and diagrams)

Before anyone “well actually”’s me with numbers they are directionally correct on the enterprise dev side in most major cities.
It means that emissions are not cumulative. Without some other form of radiative forcing, any H2O you put into the lower atmosphere falls back out again or displaces H2O that would evaporate elsewhere. Otherwise the average lawn would be thousands of times worse than all other activity by the whoever lives there combined.

If you want more time for more education, but have too many responsibilities to spend a couple of years unemployed, consider focusing your job search on the education -- and in particular, university -- sector.

Most universities allow for cheap or free study for employees, and will be culturally flexible to let you take advantage of it.
