I don't think Russia has the same cultural attitude toward casualties and attrition that the US has, and it seems to me that their objective is more than a pure grab of territory.

> Embarrassing military defeat? Check.

The war is ongoing. I have a couple of friends who share your mentality toward it, but perhaps it's better to be doubtful of the outcome and cautious about Russia's next steps.

> Leaving behind billions in hardware? Check.

The US did this in Afghanistan too. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/27/politics/afghan-weapons-l...

> Financially and militarily drained? Check.

Petroleum-based economies operate better in high-price environments. Sanctions can be painful but with oil above $80, there's no easy way to financially drain a petrostate. They keep pumping and selling. Russia's strategic position gives it unique power to manipulate the petroleum markets by affecting supply to key markets in ways that induce price volatility. Separately, the nuclear threat is real and it's hard to imagine that a country with so substantial a destructive capability is militarily drained. It's true that some young people fled Russia due to the mobilization; I met one such man earlier this month and talking to him gave me a greater understanding of Russian public sentiment toward the war. Still, it seems unreasonable to evaluate Russia's manpower without putting it in the context of the size of the substantially smaller Ukrainian military.
I just hope they remembered to turn their cameras off.

This kind of "everything is political" thinking is incredibly divisive and is literally the cause of the culture war tearing apart the US (not sure where you live) right now.

Plus, I straight-up don't believe it, and you've provided no evidence to support your claim.

> companies are made up of people, politics is the interaction of people.

conflates (intentionally or not) two very different kinds of "politics" - GP was talking about partisan politics, but you started discussing organizational politics. Unless you're claiming that all human interaction is intrinsically partisan...

Also, I don't believe the claim that all execs are unable to prevent their political opinions from leaking into their direction for the company. They're often motivated extremely strongly by money, and I'm sure that we all know of at least one person that is willing to compromise on their morals (-> political views) for money.

Finally, even treating the claim as true for the sake of argument - not all companies will push their own political agenda with the same strength, and it's entirely reasonable to avoid those that push harder.
I sympathise. I left it too late as well. I have some regrets from not being a Dad.

But I also find it freeing: my life is about me. The pressure to breed, to achieve, to do what others expect recedes. Nothing matters. I am not going to pass on my genes, or leave a legacy, or even any footprints. I'm atheist so I don't even believe in any afterlife. When I die, that's it, everything is over and there's nothing left behind. It's very freeing. All I have left is what I want to do in my life, for me. I'd like to build my own house, marry my girl, travel to every continent on the planet, build a successful business. But if I don't, it doesn't matter too much. My purpose in life now is to enjoy it.

I suspect your really strong reaction to this is a symptom of something else going on. I've lost 10 years of my life to depression, so I know something about this. But not enough to do anything but recommend you continue seeking help. And reassure you that this is only temporary (like everything in life) and it will pass.

Good luck with it.
> If you're raising an exception deep in some internal code, provide as much detail as possible.

> If the error bubbles up to the user,

...then you have an information disclosure vulnerability! There's a really good reason why we don't bubble up deep exceptions to end users: Attackers can use that info to gain information about your back end that they can use to find worse vulnerabilities.

Put all the detail you want in your logs. Keep the end users out of it. They shouldn't be able to tell what line broke things.

For me, WFH is all about saving 2-3 hours per day by not having to commute. Additional benefits include access to better food during the day and fewer interactions with assholes.
In my experience, getting older requires that you also get more proficient in engaging with the passage of time. One of the things you do with your time is make decisions, and as your life unfolds the increasing number of decisions that lie in your past start to increasingly constrain your present and (what remains of) your future. Thats just how it is. People can tell you about this, but until you get there you don't know it.

I don't know the OP, so I'm not going to address them in the first person, but I note that they don't say why they want to have children - only that they regret not having them. So I concur with others here that children might not be the main issue - but rather a proxy for general regrets and sorrow about the life changes that many people start to perceive in their fifth decade, as life becomes more constrained. I don't have good solutions for this, but living with regret is a hard road. I personally found the advice of the stoics useful here: don't try to control what you can't control, and the best way to deal with unhappiness over what you don't have is to try to be satisfied with what you do have. But I know thats easy to say and hard to put into practice. And it can lead you into the trap of inaction.

But I may be wrong. Some people just have a deep need to have children, ans this often transcends "reasons". While many societies see this as normal in women, we perhaps don't talk enough about how men can feel this way too. If this is genuinely the case for the OP then more therapy may be the only way to address it.

It's also worth them considering that actually having children might not address their present regret. I'm a guy in my mid fifties and I did have children (who are now on the edge of adulthood). Being a parent often was, and often still is, a immense joy. But it was also immensely hard in ways I can't adequately describe to people who haven't also done it. Again, until you get there you don't know. So its healthy to not romanticise parenthood and, for the OP, reflecting on whether this is the case for them may be an approach to take. Not easy though, but maybe easier than the alternative.

A couple of practical points. Physically, 40 and 38 is not too late (modulo any health issue) to conceive if the OP and his partner both want that. Its important to be aware of the risks of later parenthood, but very many people do have children at that point in their life. It is also important to be aware of the considerable strain it can put on a relationship. Give some thought to the financial implications too: its a heavy twenty-plus year commitment that will close-off some opportunities, and the cost of post-school education may come along just as you are starting to consider retirement.

We only get one life and I have no good answers. To the OP - I hope you find peace, however it goes for you.
You can't have them. They don't exist.

Quantum mechanics does not match anything in your intuitive world. If you look at the mathematics, you'll see why: there are terms in the mathematics that don't appear anywhere else in the world.

At best, you'll draw analogies like the Fourier transform. If you understand signal analysis, you've got a better shot at understanding quantum mechanics. But that's getting further away from your daily experience, not nearer.

If you work with the math, we can explain why your daily experience is so different from the quantum world. You'd be able to see why a lot of quantum mechanics, all added together, behaves like a classical object, even though the actual truth of each individual particle is still quantum mechanical. It's not unlike any other statistical phenomenon: the average of rolling two dice will always be very close to 7, even though your first few rolls may well be as low as 2 or as big as 12.

That's why you can derive your intuitions from quantum mechanics, but not the other way around. Your intuitions, in a strict physical sense, are just plain wrong, and no amount of explanation will ever make quantum mechanics work like that.
> Now throw in minimum 0.5h + 0.5h commute

Minimum half hour commute? Definitely not a minimum. I've had a <15min commute practically my entire career. My current commute is 15 minutes by bicycle, 5 minutes by car, and my kid's daycare is on the way.

Minimum commute is more like 5 minutes. Sure, maybe average commute is a good bit higher, but then say average not minimum.
I do understand that it's cheaper to get someone from abroad which is why I do not believe 'fully remote' will last.

Other than that my office experiences are nothing like this. Place feels designed mostly for social control with its open plan offices and daily status meetings. it feels pretty oppressive. It's not fun and I'd rather stay home. What you get instead is people, even those in leading positions, claiming to be sick when they're not. I believe that's appealing and demoralising behavior btw, but it's what happens.

Maybe if people were better than they are then it wouldn't be such a big issue.
And thanks to monk studiousness, hundreds of classical books were preserved during the dark ages, after Rome fell. We also got a lot of technology preserved and actively invented by them.

Not sure, lxc has always been a little clunkier but if you look at the 80% case of "docker pull X; docker build .; docker run ..." I don't see how that problem couldn't have been solved. (No, this is not supposed to be a "how hard can it be to build your own dropbox in a weekend", but I did use LXC extensively in the past and with a few aliases it was honestly fine most of the time, for the developer side.)
I really want to like WireGuard, and these get so close to what I want. I think as soon as Headscale gets the iOS story sorted out I'll be able to switch away from IKEv2/IPSec.

Right now the thing that's stopping me is the lack of Split-DNS. I'd even be happy if I could configure this in the official client, I've only got a handful of devices so distributing the configuration by hand is fine. My IKEv2/IPSec set up does this perfectly, and using MDM profiles lets me set up connect-on-demand. WireGuard already does connect-on-demand and my limited testing suggests that it works well enough.

I don't want to use Tailscale since I'd like to keep everything self-hosted. It sounds like Headscale is almost there - it just needs the iOS client to be able to point to an arbitrary endpoint.
> This is effectively demanding “all remote” from the in-office crowd and taking away their face to face interaction.

How is this at all a good thing?

It's basically saying: "I've got a limitation because of my choice of working environment, therefore to make life "fair" — which it isn't at all ironically — I'm going to impose my limitation artificially on the rest of the group."

Because I can't play with that toy, no one else can.
There is no deception. They promptly admitted the mistake and corrected it.

It is a lot less "shady" than the billions of dollars every year spent in Google/Facebook/Twitter/Bing ads who turn out to be fraudulent and makes business owners with no way to actually verify and recourse, and Mozilla directly benefits from.

Correct, the term git backend refers to git as a content database (with built-in version control and automation).

Regarding front aid, great to see fellow startups working on solution built on git. It took months to realize the benefits of git and the logical step to build the backend on git. sorry, use git as the content database.

At this point, almost everybody knows about surveillance capitalism being a thing, but most people would rather see targeted advertisements than pay for their YouTubes and their TikTok's.

I'm not making fun of your bash, a lot of bash one-liners are, essentially, tongue-in-cheek and not intended for daily use.

What I take issue with is the arbitrary point made by the post I replied to that using oathtool is somehow not "bash one-liney", whereas your attempt is somehow "bash one-liney".

Could I make a bash one-liner that uses a rube goldberg machine of echo, netcat, dd, ed etc. to make a HTTP request? Yeah I could, or I could just use curl and it's also still a valid "bash" one-liner.
Once upon a time, I worked at a financial startup (the company is irrelevant). I created a little harness around a static analysis tool. It would fail builds when a library had an outstanding vulnerability scored as HIGH or SEVERE with a patch available. The harness put a friendly error message around it. It ran roughly as follows:

> Hi! If you're reading this message, it's likely because this tool failed your build. To understand why and fix it, please click this link <link_to_internal_doc>. Below is a table that lists the packages you need to update and the version you need to update them to.

The doc had at the very top in big flashing red text with siren anigifs a link to the portion that explained that they needed to update their libraries with very clear copy-paste-into-Dockerfile actionable guidance. The page also explained the broader context, such as the point of the tool and why we were doing this despite having a firewall and so on.

This is where you might be delighted and surprised.

What was perhaps less delightful and surprising were the consequences for me. About 4-6 times a week, I would then have a Slack conversation akin to this:

Dev: Why did you break my build!?!

Me: Can I see the error message?

Dev: <pastes message above>

Me: Thanks! Looking at the message, is there something unclear about the documentation? Does it not work?

<ten minutes pass>

Dev: Nope! Docs are great!

At this point the conversation would end.
The EU recognized that cookies are only one way to track you and so made a law that requires informed consent for all kinds of tracking. Most tracking cannot be simply blocked by the browser because it happens entirely on the servers.

People like you being mad at the GDPR is exactly what the advertisers want to achieve by making needlesly annoying consent banners.
And yet developers do disregard the content of error messages. Try to figure out why they disregard it. I doubt the answer is "because they're stupid". The answer probably also isn't "because they just aren't trying".

What could it be? Why do people read things and react in similar ways, even if they have different jobs? If only there was some field of study that could answer these mysteries.
1) Thanks for answering

2)

3) It's not a deal-breaker. The downside I see for you is someone can make pages, export, and host it themselves elsewhere. Maybe a $5 p/m tier with a limited # of exports? IDK.

4) I suppose Mailchimp and Hubspot would be the top choices of SMBs, and Salesforce for the bigger Incs.

Well, absolutely, but it's even worse than that: Cloud actually doesn't make sense for large, established companies. The benefits of quickly scaling up and down can make it worthwhile for a startup, but a company with a well-established business that has a predictable workload has no reason to pay extra for this.

All of the large enterprises who have transitioned to cloud have really good sweetheart deals, often with additional ties to other business initiatives between the cloud provider and other enterprise. They know the savings they're getting is extremely short-term, and presumably they expect to re-acquire or retain the talent to leave eventually.

Bear in mind, if you want an idea how little established enterprise values the cloud, in the year of our Lord 2022, the first automaker to transition to AWS is happening, announced last week: https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/13/23401350/bmw-amazon-web-... The way you can translate this is that if it took over a decade for the first automaker to transition to the leading cloud provider, few to no other auto manufacturers are outsourcing their data to the cloud. And I'm willing to bet BMW got a really epic deal to convince them to do it.

The reason things like multi-cloud are so derided is that these companies' goals are to get you entirely dependent on their proprietary service design, so that it's too hard to ever leave. You can't go on-prem, you'd need to do a whole bunch of engineering to transition to a competitor's platform, etc. So you just suck it up and keep handing them a blank check every month.
The trick that I've found is that each error message needs to be unique... not just the stack trace, but the actual wording of the message leading up to that.

Get a screenshot or the exact verbatim of it, and you can identify exactly where in the code it originated.

User reports are unreliable, but when I can pinpoint where the message originated from, it massively cuts down on the troubleshooting time.
The help desk guys are on the other side of a cubicle wall from my workstation, and almost every call I overhear about someone getting errors just convinces me further and further that people don't only not pay attention to the error message, they don't pay attention to the people they're calling to help them get through the situation either.
Good correction, thank you!
No doubt about that. However, he is by far not the only person to do so and have terrible life skills (in the sense that others should emulate them), e.g. Grothendieck, Tesla, Gödel..
binja had more to do with loss of enterprise customers than ghidra. I know maybe 100 professional sres and none of them use ghidra on a daily basis. most use binja now, and others admit they only use ida, because they already have it and know how to use it. they also admit if they have to move to a place without ida licenses, they would be happy to go binja full time if that's what their teammates use
I would say that you can look at poudriere and jails then. You can tweak your many systems for optimal performance and have a build environment plus update system to keep them all running all on your own infrastructure, and roll out updates as required.

Jails are fantastic for segregation of services. Linux has comparable things, but I've always been more comfortable in the jail environment. It just makes more sense to me.

FreeBSD is much more of a Unix-y way of doing things, and if that's the kind of thing you prefer, it's excellent. I'm not a systemd hater in particular, but I do prefer Ye Olde Wayes.
