Russia was forced to invade Ukraine by Ukraine not adhering to the previous peace accords (Minsk agreements) and instead shelling ethnic Russians for a decade — until those Ukrainians declared independence to protect themselves from the decade long war.

I think calling it an “opportunity” when they blew up the NS 1+2 pipelines to silence protests in Germany ahead of winter speaks to precisely the ethics involved.
Because Apple went to use that API and hit that restriction themselves for the first time when they shipped Apple Private Relay and found it was too tight.
Describing an idea in sufficient detail for someone else to program it is probably harder than actually programming it. Thus, the person who is just a hustler, or just an idea person, will get outcompeted by the person who is both.

Interesting all of the nature-first feedback, because I have 3 kids and their personalities, interests and behaviors have changed significantly over the years. Maybe these life arcs are instilled at birth, but for me as I look back I notice their friends and major life events influencing them.

I also look at my own life and imagine I was born in a different country with different hardships. I can only imagine that some of my personality traits would have expressed themselves differently based on different survival necessities.

As a tech analogy, varying your training data will vary your outputs, even if the model parameters remain consistent.
You are taking as gospel a uncorroborated rumor from what is likely a single Twitter engineer who is salty that someone outside the org is reviewing their code.

You assume that money is not changing hands and that it’s off the books? Where is your evidence for that? You are making that assumption based off your own confirmation biases.
JavaScript gunk never loads content for me, but the popup ad works great.
It’s only a healthy safety factor if absolutely nothing goes wrong. Connectors are normally a weak point and internal PC components aren’t supposed to be plugged and unplugged regularly. Simply testing the multiple hardware configurations can quickly result in failures.
Not buying one car in a sea of available choices sends a very vague message of why that particular car wasn't purchased. Plus such a car might be the ideal, desired car except for one specific egregious flaw.

Why shouldn't people write articles that clearly communicate what makes a specific feature a deal breaker?
> if they update the menus dynamically

Does that ever happen in the US? 90% of the menus I've seen via QR codes, and more generally online, are out of date. Often by months. I've gotten "sorry we're out ofthat" just as often with the new tech as with the old. I guess it's great that restaurateurs elsewhere get this right - most of the positive comments seem to be from Europe - but for the OP and a significant percentage of HN readers that's clearly not the case.

Like other mentioned, it's probably best not to autoupdate these kind of apps. For example, I run a pihole in an old raspberry pi 2b and the latest docker image update broke it and I had to revert. Imagine if you're in the middle of something important and suddenly your network is broken and you had to drop everything to fix it. Just do regular once a month docker pull and container restart instead.
Vanilla OS: More Than Just Vanilla Gnome with Ubuntu
This year I discovered the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman, currently five books. I read them with my son and we also had the audiobooks, which are really the best audiobooks I’ve encountered because of the voice acting.

At first I found the concept of the series so outlandish that I really couldn’t imagine what to expect, but it turned out that the series is incredibly complex and has a lot of interesting twists and character development. Big recommendation from me.
“respecting minorities, promoting equality”

Branding people left and right based on these qualities is lazy. There are people from both the left and right that exhibit these qualities. Also, there are racists that are left and right. I would even argue that “respecting majorities” is equally desired and exists for both left and right.
Disagree. Back in 2006 it would have been really hard, but not in 2022. We’ve figured out all sorts of novel ways to scale platforms.

I’ll put it another way. Which job would you rather have? Build a scalable Twitter clone? Or operate the business and make money?

How do you make sure it’s not an epic cesspool? It’s not an engineering problem.
> Professionals in every domain like to maintain a certain level of difficulty to keep amateurs out.

Not all of us. I fervently wish that implementing the various platform-specific accessibility APIs, and the corresponding tricks for canvas-based GUIs in web applications, was easier, so more GUIs would be accessible. I wish I wasn't one of maybe a few hundred people in the world who had substantial experience with the UI Automation API on Windows, for instance. I'm working on an open-source project to try to package up that specialized knowledge in a reusable implementation. But it takes work to make inherently complicated things easier.
Also because since 2015 there have been some API changes so some of the content/code in there might not work out of the box.

After years of middling at software consulting and bitching about coming up short a friend suggested I "throw my bids through the triplicator". Literally just ask for three times whatever I thought it would take. I did that, and surprisingly no one batted an eye. I later learned that if my first volley on price in any negotiation is accepted without pushback then I left money on the table. That gave me enough headroom to learn more about process and get a lot better. Shout out to Karl Weigers, Software Requirements 3rd ed is a jam.

After that I started to learn a lot more about business. Most of the people that write checks don't actually respect people that make stuff. In fact, I'd say more often than not I detect resentment. So not only do you need to charge them so much that it hurts but you've also gotta be sort of curt, bordering on rudeness and a bit aloof and make them scared they are missing out on something. (This is not advice, I'm a weird person and the fields I work in... YMMV.) The more you charge, the less work is expected of you and the more trust you get. I consider that trust a sacred gift. I underpromise and overdeliver.

It kind of turns out though that the money class not really respecting the production class means they expect you to choose between building and running. If I choose to be an engineering manager or C suite, they get freaked out if I write code too much. Also if I write code, I'm not supposed to be able to do UI/UX, branding, copy, or anything else. Before I got good at programming I worked in graphic design for web and print and I'm a pretty accomplished writer. My process for building things means these assets come out of it. I have to hide and dumb down these assets.

I love building things. Like really love it. If I can get flow state once every month for a couple hours.... I'm complete. I'm happy. I need to get my hands dirty to understand what I'm directing and communicate it effectively. So, to get more comfort in life I have to work against the fact that I like to build things and my natural impulses to share enthusiasm. The money class seems to largely think that people that want to build things are suckers to be beat up for having interest and care.

I lost something learning this. I used to be really angry about it. Now it's just kind of sad. I live better and can pursue things I like better. I build biz appropriate things for larger sums. The real shit I'm capable of though, it took me a while to realize I need to keep working on that for myself and slow drip it to people. No one cares what you CAN do, they want what they've already seen and they respect you if you charge them so much they have to talk about you as a partner or at bare minimum an investment.
They kind of remind me of SAS. Their software isn’t horrible, but it’s not cheap and their licensing is complicated and their products overlap with each other and they are constantly pushing new products that have separate licenses.

I like that the company seems really dedicated to their areas and love GIS, like this article shows, but feel kind of bad because big commercial software is in a tough place.

I’m learning French and have employed almost the same methods. A few suggestions:

Record your own voice pronouncing the word in French. Anki make this easy to do and recording it correctly makes you really focus on getting it right.

Say the French word twice when recording with a few seconds pause between. When practicing/testing cards, try to get to where you can pronounce it first before the recording tells you the correct pronunciation. It is a great confidence builder and adds an interesting dynamic to the experience.

Learn the unique sounds required to speak French. This website provides those sounds and example words in correctly pronounced recordings. https://www.mimicmethod.com/the-flow-of-french/
A great intention all else being equal. Unfortunately all else is not equal in this case. They say other libraries use "the wrong technology" (canvas). In my opinion this uses the wrong technology. SVG is much slower than canvas as soon as you have a few thousand points.

This might be fine for very small graphs but canvas is better in general.
They are not though.

It’s worth mentioning that Musk waived his right to do so.

Yes, there are large negative externalities to a certain type of engineers who write a lot of code of dubious quality. Even after ignoring all the trivial cases of "artificial code stuffing", etc.

I used to work in a very dysfunctional org where the main "architect" was writing lots of broken code that kinda works, and the 20+ people in the team around it would basically be full time in fire fighting mode. The architect was a very smart guy but ironically enough without any sense of architecture: his level of abstraction for network was pushing bytes through a pipe, and for loops for calculations.

Having left the C/C++ professional programming world several years back to wallow in other pastures, I've lost close touch with the languages except at a low-key hobbyist level. That said, I am curious over what is the motivation to pursue updates in 20 and 23? Are there really new features promised that today's programmer simply can't live without or are they all various levels of syntactic sugar or something in between? Is there a concern over whether these changes are making the language ever more complex and obese thus making mastery even harder to achieve?

I think you can subsume this under being more worldly, but talking to strangers means it gets a lot harder to become really ideological/partisan and looking down to other people.
This article speaks to me that the author himself is struggling to unblock his creativity by looking to other processes.

Both these authors were ambitious and ruled the 2000s best sellers list. Sure they had different processes, but we’re comparing books on the range of science topics to that of legal thrillers.

There’s other very consistent authors out there. The Danielle Steel, Nicolas Sparks, etc types are overlooked because of their book topics but they have similar stories of ambition in their late 20s where they decided to pursue writing full time.

I don’t really get what the take away is here. Each of these people are ambitious and live different lives to realize it. So what? What’s the takeaway?
Photons are the carrier of the electromagnetic field. We “sense them”
via the photoelectric effect (i.e. photons activate electrons)…

We do not sense them via the magnetic force probably because it is useless for us (contrary to some species of birds IIRC).
While I actually like the food, I've found myself on several occasions just deciding that I don't want to go eat at Nandos because they've managed to make entire process so entirely hostile to basic human interaction. Just let me order my food from a real person please. It's so much easier that opening a digital menu and then needing to input my card info. It just makes me feel like I'm eating at a fancy McDonald's.
“Almost every software development organization has at least one developer who takes tactical programming to the extreme: a tactical tornado. The tactical tornado is a prolific programmer who pumps out code far faster than others but works in a totally tactical fashion. When it comes to implementing a quick feature, nobody gets it done faster than the tactical tornado. In some organizations, management treats tactical tornadoes as heroes. However, tactical tornadoes leave behind a wake of destruction. They are rarely considered heroes by the engineers who must work with their code in the future. Typically, other engineers must clean up the messes left behind by the tactical tornado, which makes it appear that those engineers (who are the real heroes) are making slower progress than the tactical tornado.”

No, all of them. Aeach one has a group element that references a clip-path. But the clip-path does not exist, neighter in the export nor in the original document. This may just be a leftover from previous versions.
I feel like the city life makes us talk less to strangers. Living in London, I cannot really remember when was the last time I talk to a stranger except asking/being asked for directions.

Back when I was living in a small town outside Amsterdam called Abcoude, I had much more conversations with strangers even I don’t speak Dutch at all.

Learnt from them that it’s the only place in the world with name starts with abc and ends with de. :)
That "etc" is extremely load bearing as it pertains to the OP question and not a technical detail of financial engineering.
The terms are actually quite reasonable. You can't even pay for your resources without changing your account type (anything you buy with your free credit gets wiped out after the trial month, only the "always free" stuff remains...) so I'm reasonably certain you can use their service quite comfortably.

The 50mbps uplink isn't spectacular and certainly not enough to run a business on, but for anything the other free tiers are intended for (experimentation and hobby use) it's sufficient.

This setting turns the reverse lamps on when you switch the rear lighting zone on.
Switch this setting off if you have a backup alarm installed to prevent the reverse lamps from turning on and sounding the alarm when using zone lighting.
So then you do care about the product you work on.
> Developers should be writing new code and maintaining their own code.

This goes against a decade of developer best practices, as enforcing code ownership promotes code silos.

I'm not saying I disagree, only that it seems contrary to recommendations.

The truth is probably somewhere in between.
> Do people really live like that?

A good way to answer this question is to ask the women in your life. It never fails to surprise me the number and variety of stories every one of my female friends/family/co-workers have.

Just last week one of my friends was telling a story about a guy in a car slowly following and harassing her on her way home. That kicked off a round of 'being scared by guys in cars' stories from others at the table.

I somewhat understand the 'not all guys' sentiment because this behaviour also feels very alien to me. I think it is worth taking the time to understand that it definitely is 'a not insignificant number of guys' though

I was in Amsterdam a few years ago and said a few words in Dutch to the waiter, who was really amused by it. He asked where we were from and ended up sitting down and chatting with us for like half and hour, and drew us a map of his favorite spots nearby. We also met a few really chatty bartenders, including a guy how ducked behind the bar and came back up holding kittens. I’m not sure why we had such good experiences, but it was great.
Well, OpenGL still works on macOS. It's deprecated, but there's no word on any plans to remove it. I wouldn't be surprised if it sticks around in its current, deprecated form for a long time. It's an older version of OpenGL (4.1), but Khronos has stopped making new OpenGL versions, so it won't grow more outdated over time.

As I said, I don't believe any significant TSLA holder will actually sue Musk. It's clear by now they're comfortable with Musk's view that his interests and any of his companies' interests are equivalent. But if they did, they'd have a good case unless Twitter overpaid (at which point the issue would be any Twitter shareholders).
Pretty much everybody stores a massive amount of gasoline energy on their property every day, as gas in the tank in their vehicle.

> Over time stocks tend to beat inflation. Looking at one small window of time is just wrong.

It is wrong only if someone is sitting in cash for long periods of time. A poor person needing to buy groceries every week is seriously affected by CPI inflation. A rich person holding onto significant cash because they view asset prices to decline is actually experiencing deflation in the thing they want to buy and CPI for that person is utterly irrelevant. The long term return of stocks is irrelevant to this discussion.

> Plus if you just look at liquid assets you miss how these people actually made their money.

Not sure what you are getting at here, but it is beside the point I am making that CPI is not relevant to the wealthy holding cash.

> Plus if you look at the long term 3% compound inflation is seriously corrosive. That's over 30% of your wealth gone in 10 years. How long before things like food and bills become serious concerns?

Again, this isn’t something that affects the wealthy. If a wealthy person wanted to buy META a year ago, the price has declined 70% since then, so the asset you wanted to buy has experienced deflation giving you a better entry point, regardless of CPI inflation. Replace META with almost any other asset and the same statement is true over the last year or so.
Never if you are wealthy. That's the point. The things needed to survive are what inflation is based on, for a wealthy person that amount of spending is so much less than 1% it's negligible. You only lose the 3% of your money if you need your billion dollars to buy food and gas and general consumer goods. The cost of luxury items fluctuates wildly and isn't part of inflation.
Obama talked to strangers too. He wrote in his biography that this was a thing that he missed when he was a president ("random chat with a stranger on the sidewalk").

2. make "twitter blue" actually valuable (e.g. detailed analytics on your followers, tools for composing threads, actually monetizing revue)

> Or just give people these metrics because if they care about them they probably care about creating quality and engaging content and seeing how well it performs.

3. payments

We never sold Basecamp by the seat (2017)
At high end restaurants with better trained wait staff- they are looking for visual cues on when to approach your table. Empty glasses, napkin on plate, menu down on table when you're ready to order, one customary check on the food shortly after it arrives, not so early that you haven't tried it though. But this is learned behavior on the part of the customer as well.

I hate that it's impolite to wave waiters over as well though. That would make the whole process a lot easier.
