> An unusual clause in their exit deals allows both Renault and Nissan to buy back their Russian assets within the next six years

> These facts suggest that the apparent exit of both companies from Russia is reluctant and largely symbolic, with both optimistic that sanctions will be lifted at some point in the next few years, allowing them to seamlessly re-enter the Russian market

Of course they will re-enter the Russian market. That was never in doubt, and it’s a very smart move to sign an exit deal allowing them to swiftly re-enter the market when it’s ready with all their places of operations nicely maintained for them. It seems that the people who signed that deal on the Russian side where negotiating from a position of weakness?

The issue is if they will re-enter a market with Putin at its head and Ukraine subjugated. That seems increasingly unlikely.
The original Overwatch would release new heroes for free, and cosmetics for that hero would be available for random drops/purchase just like any other cosmetic item.

In OW2, the new heroes are on tier 55 of the battlepass, if you're a free-to-play user. If you buy the pass, you unlock the hero for play instantly. As far as I know, there is no word on hero availability for those who do neither, for when the pass duration runs out.

Having played the first game, the monetization model of the second feels like a slap in the face. They've added new categories of worthless junk cosmetics to pad things out. It feels like they looked at other battlepass models, and threw a bunch of random shit together to pad it out.

But hey, if you don't want to grind too much, you can always buy the Battlepass +20 package, and knock out the first 20 tiers instantly!
That's different. Your phrasing is politically neutral and could even be interpreted as centering blue-favored groups.

My contention is that any "unbiasing" which said "we are going to lean conservative to counter our innate liberal bias" would not be welcomed.

(I'm a liberal, btw, I just believe in calling a spade a spade. Don't call one-sided activism "unbiasing".)
I think you can thank heavy-handed moderation for the lack of political discussions on forums back in the day.

“Agile” is not about meetings.

In my experience and practice, “it” works very well when the team and management understand why and how they do, what they do.

Its about working in a way that makes the development process both receptive and responsive to change. Focus shifts from requirement specification to early prototyping and quick release cycle.

To be agile is to be adaptive, not fast. You do that by working closely with customers / End users. You deliver small changes more frequently (sprints). To enable that you setup CI and CD infrastructure.

If most or all of these things sound unfamiliar, you need to question your own understanding of your process and focus on the “why” of it.

There is no set-in-stone way to “do agile”, therefore your criticism sound like someone pissing in the wind and shouting to everyone else about why its hitting you in the face.

Liquid green hydrogen costs an order of magnitude more than electricity, and always will since it's created from electricity and uses electricity for liquification. It definitely will appreciably increase the cost of operating a train.

And then, not counting people who bought and lost (wallet lost/exchange collapsed, etc).

And then, anyone who is still holding are under multiple risks: regulatory, markets tanking, taxation, fraud, exchange collapse, wallet stolen, etc.

Hey Nican! Thanks for the feedback. It wasn’t clear from the blog post, but as the sibling poster points out, the system has full eventual consistency: it behaves like a replica, but it replicates a whole cluster of MySQL instances simultaneously (i.e. your full PlanetScale database). Because of this design, we never lock or affect the performance of writes to the main database.

As for predictability, we’re working on some interesting optimizations that allow similar queries to reuse the internal state of each other, so the system becomes more efficient the more queries it’s caching. Stay tuned!

> The US is the only country in the world where you have such a credit history system built with credit cards.

Aside from the links posted in a sibling comment, I wouldn't say the U.S. credit system is built with credit cards: it's a fairly holistic metric that takes into account rent payments, loans, and a bunch of other stuff like "bankruptcies, foreclosures, lawsuits, wage garnishments or attachments, liens, or public judgments against you"[0]. Credit cards are lines of credit, so they certainly factor in, but the focus on your overall credit health, of which your credit cards may be a small part.

Sky News in UK is quoting 'security experts' commenting on photos showing wreckage that looks like from S-300 system. Only Ukraine is operating these within range of the border so entirely plausible this was an interception of a missile aimed at a target near border.

But not its price, and definitely not the compensation for the labour to produce it.

Making a living as a mediocre-to-good artist is already incredibly difficult; increasing the supply of poor-to-good artists through AI-assistance isn't going to make it any easier.

> As in the outputs aren't useful, or the gifs are poor?

As in they don't _show_ anything useful. Just to pick one at random: the last one, "Average all of the values in a range." All it shows is a list of numbers, not how that list was created. Anyone can paste a list of numbers into a spreadsheet and take a screenshot of that. It doesn't take an AI to produce a list of numbers. The examples need to show _how_ those numbers are produced, not just a list of meaningless (to any random viewer) numbers.
This is a long lost battle since AI has been a term used to describe far simpler things than that for over 60 years.

I find it almost satirical that a guide on an imminent nuclear disaster is a 13-page pdf of dense text. If the producers of this guide are serious about their mission, this needs to be condensed into a flowchart with short statements and plenty of pictures that can be absorbed quickly.

An ICBM will take ~20-30 minutes from launch to hit the US. By the time you are notified, you will have 5-15 minutes to prepare. This goes down to minutes to seconds for dirty bombs/ground detonations or short range missiles (to which the US is not immune thanks to submarines).

This is a common theme for BIS. I may do an analysis on the their studies.

and mark the donation as "for Lighthouse". They are a "financial sponsor" for Lighthouse, which is a term that has some kind of legal significance I don't understand, but I know the money will get there.

A day before OW2 came out!
SAR here in BC Canada vastly prefer that you call at the first hint of trouble, even if you don’t think you necessarily need help.

They would much rather be on alert and be stood down, or assist someone over the phone who called early and is easy to find and help. The problem is that many people wait until conditions deteriorate or they are much more lost.

Sending a team of a few people to go out and call your name along a trail during the day in clear weather is easy. Sending a team of people to find a hypothermic or injured person at night and extract them is an order of magnitude more involved and risky.

In other words, no one will be upset if you call out of caution.
Not at all. Here is a simple counter-example:

A has some bitcoins, he sells a few to B.

Later price increases, and A sells more bitcoins to B.

In total, the same $ went in as the $ that went out, but both A's and B's wealth increased.

Yeah, the old Eden repository redirects directly to Sapling now: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/eden
I am used to working in large repos (>100 commits/day), which generally means that something like 'git log --graph' contains a lot of extraneous information.

The most common workflow I have is that I've got a couple of old working branches (like featurea and featureb), and I want to see if I need to update featureb to a newer head or not, or if featureb was based on featurea or featurea-v2. A demonstration of this kind of thing is 'hg wip' here: http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/customising-mercurial-l....

Another thing I would use revsets for is answering queries like "which of these changes that's on the public repository made its way into the internal repository (which periodically merges from the public repo)?"
> If you are a manager, an architect or a scientist, all you do is think. You literally don't do anything else.

First of all, no; it's not true that, "You literally don't do anything else". Even if we were to accept that, though, it's besides the point, because what you're saying right now is a change of subject.

What I said was that you don't get paid to think. You're getting paid for what the customer (hopes) they'll get from you. (And yes, that's true even if they never get anything from you.)

To say it again: nobody cares if you're thinking. The exercise of thinking has no intrinsic value to the people who people who are paying you. All of the value is consequential. Ergo, even if you are thinking over the course of your work day, you are not really getting paid to think. If you could somehow manage to deliver the same results without thinking, you'd still get paid--because you're not actually getting paid "to think".
I don't see why merge conflicts would be a pain specific to monorepos. The merge conflict arises when you and some other person modify the same parts of the same file. No matter the repo size the correct solution here is figuring out the intention of the other person by reading their change or talking to them and deciding how to combine it with your change.

The only reason which may make merge conflicts happen slightly more often in monorepo (vs constellation of small repos) is that not having the repo cloned locally is an obstacle to make the change. So some folks won't bother contributing repo that they'd have to clone first and instead they'd file a bug to the owners.
I actually just created my first PR from a sapling repo now - not sure why it’s not documented, but you can push your local development branch to a remote server, and in the case of github, you even get the “it looks like you’ve just pushed a local branch, would you like to turn this branch into a PR?” prompt, and it appears indistinguishable from a branch created with the Git CLI.
Note that the lenses do require extra work after the initial printing: "Finally, endless sanding and polishing created a clear-enough lens."
