I'm not sure how potential truffle dog thieves would be able to tell that a dog is good at finding truffles during the 364 days a year where the dog is not searching for truffles. Or how they would steal the dog while the owner is walking around with it in the forest during the 1 day a year where they are searching for truffles.
It was the threat that it would be turned back on that is the reason that rules in US as a culprit. It was already not being used! Russia would blow it up to get out of some contract? Does that sound like a serious idea to you? Do any contracts even matter between Russia and Europe at this point.
This field does not _need_ software engineers.

This field needs marketing, product and project managers (for-profit or non-profit variety) that could figure out:

1. what product to build to have the biggest impact

2. how to build it.

Once 1. and 2. is clear it will be equally clear that if you have a bunch of scientists you won't get a great product, as nobody will build the product, everyone will build a prototype.

So then it will follow that the project needs to hire (=attract) software engineers to be in charge of software, and attracting software engineers means giving them competitive compensation.
I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that HURD made some uniquely poor choices that make it difficult to work with in ways that other microcernels don't necessarily suffer from.
The configuration of blowing up NS1 fully and NS2 half-way has quite a few upsides for Russia: getting out of contracts without voiding them, improving the internal political situation (in case anyone wants to create a coup and then start selling gas again) or sending a message (a norway-poland pipeline was opened just one day before NS was blown up)
> Were they holding hands? Or one sabotaged one pipe and the other the other?

Yes, that's a distinct possibility. The US and UK are tight, particularly with underwater stuff. They have a history of sharing submarine secrets with each other. Even reactor technology and screw/pumpjet design. That's some of the most secret stuff America and the UK have, and they share it with each other. It's fair to suspect that one may have consulted with the other before doing something like this.

Why Are You Still Here? (2009)
Exactly. These people will go through the most insane mental gymnastics to preserve their simplistic worldview. Sad to see so many brains rotted by Russiagate.
Probably by 2030 and by 2040 at the latest, you will be able to give a proposition to a machine learning model and the model will output a machine-verifiable proof of its truth or falsity at least as often as a human can.
"Yet when I go somewhere with no liquidity and a huge spread.."

Someone who wants to buy or sell goes to a market in order execute at the best price achievable, and they may be under time pressure.

If the spreads are wider at one place than another, participants will gravitate to the place with the narrower spreads. If there is better liquidity at one place than another, activity will move to that place.

The purpose of being at the market is that you want to trade.

These qualities that you dismiss, "a mild inconvenience at worst", are the essence and measure of a market's effectiveness.

"A tight spread just means that somebody is getting rich by taking that choice away from me and everyone else on the exchange."

No, it is the opposite of that. It is when spreads are wide that there is easy opportunity for getting rich. Consider: it is more lucrative to buy from one person at 10 and sell to another at 20 then to buy from one at 15.01 and selling to another at 15.02.

"You get to choose between waiting for a better deal and taking a worse deal immediately"

That is not the choice. On a good market you get both a competitive price, and you get to deal immediately.

An order that you rest on the book is called a limit order. You can do limit orders on any market, even those where market makers operate. Creating a market that offers limit orders is easy. The more challenging problem is to create a market where people can come and place market orders that get filled immediately

Four years ago, I wated to sell stock to close a deal to buy a house. I didn't want to sit around for hours or days or weeks or forever tweaking limit orders, hoping the market would move in my direction and that the house would stay on the market. I went to market to execute, got my money, and put down the deposit.

If a company goes to a market to offset risk, they typically want the convenience of getting the deal done immediately. If they have to wait weeks to close the deal, the risk might already have past by the time they could get the deal done. Liquid markets with tight spreads get rid of the workflow and loss of time inherent to haggling whilst giving you justified confidence that you are getting a competitive price.

It's obvious that's what Russia would do. Between their constant shelling of their own positions and launching missiles into Poland to trigger Article 5, they're clearly completely suicidal.
i suspect this is all about buying more time for the world to get over the shock of this terrorist attack, thereby hopefully preventing for a few more days the end of the world.

as for 'valid reasons' -- i can't think of any.

as for likely suspects, only one country that could do it and expect to get away with it without any serious repercussions -- the US.

and, by extension, our protected partners in aggression -- the UK, in particular. also Nato.

Israel, i suspect, would be out because of close ties to Russia, but you never know.

Russia has officially said the UK was involved in the attack. the UK has offered the Shaggy defense.

the US had the most to gain, and Russia had the most to lose.

so the official word, so far, from most western media including every mainstream pr firm has been:

Russia did it! Self-sabotage! They're so dastardly with their false flags!

:-D

our intellectual culture is in bad shape.
What is the significance of that observation?
The headline is misleading, it's only about their consumer product Wickr Me, not about the full company shutting down.
> It's called consent.

You don't appear to understand what that word means. This has nothing to do with consent.

> For a minor, their parent or guardian must consent to show them adult or other traumatizing content.

Pray tell how adult content is "traumatizing"? Before the internet kids used to pull porn magazines out of the trash or sneak down late at night to watch their parent's adult channel subscriptions. Finding it on the internet is the modern era's version of that. Probably in a few more decades we'll have a new version of it again.

> Despite your personal experience, parents and guardians ultimately have the right,authority and responsibility to do their best to ensure the well being of a minor under their care which could mean no porn or even no meat in their diet. You don't have to agree.

I fully achnkowledge that parents have the _right_ to control content if they so wish, however my argument is that they are absurd for doing so. It's not a matter of the child, it's a matter of the personal morals of the parents.

> But let's say porn is not harmful or addictive, showing porn to people against their consent

No one's talking about showing children porn against their consent.

> This isn't about policing morality but consent and it is a shame that it is neccesary to begin with.

That is absolutely what this is about.
Friendships? What a useless concept.

Friends come and go and are as reliable as Italian sports car.

People who I've thought of as good friends don't return texts or calls and when they do, the answer either is one party putting out all of the effort to spend time or worse an, "I'd love to see you but there are other people on tryong to see too."

Last person who said that to me was met with a, "well darn sorry I called, go ahead and delete my number."

Here's a fun challenge to test the value of your friend ships: stop initiating contact and see if they'll put forth effort to maintain the friendship. If no, then they really weren't your friend.
Ah. I haven’t followed this case, and have seen claims of misdiagnosis and patient harm. I assumed this had led to tragic outcomes.
Just make a website like we did in the early 2000s for fun. Get an HTML file with form elements. When you click submit on the form, it calls your calculator scripts. Or you can rewrite the file calculators as JS, and do it all right on the client side, and just serve the file from the box. You can then put that html file on a linux box and point the web server to it. Talking about frameworks and css and all of this is massively over complicating things.

Great questions, I’m not sure. If I were approaching this I’d try to partner with a police officer as the domain expert.

I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to find someone interested in helping - most people love talking about their problems. Maybe join some Facebook groups? Or get in touch with your local precinct?
The native GUI approach seems to struggle with extending the behaviour of stock controls, Win32 most of all. Granted, this is a very fuzzy problem that’s much more difficult than it seems (how do you shouls a CJK-style IME interact with a formatted-alphanumerics input?), and HTML+CSS doesn’t really do better, but it’s also a problem people have, and I don’t think native toolkits have a convincing approach. So I’m not ready to declare UI toolkits solved.

I think by that he meant something along the lines of:
“You can’t use American banks or the dollar to pay for this gas, and if you use Euros we’ll not allow our banks to use it as a currency” or something. Far, far more powerful than trying to go and physically blow them up.
Slightly off topic, this post made me realize something about the way I read.

Apparently, I scan the article first. I assume that the initial bit is "context-establishing intro", which I can probably skip. Every new paragraph that introduces some "unrelated" topic (in this case, photovoltaic panels, CO2, US midterms, ...), I will skip assuming that it's there to add depth to a point.

Basically, I look for the point, the meat so to speak, and in this case I was confused when I hit the end and hadn't found it. Maybe that was somehow the point? I will never know because I closed the tab, in spite of the topic being something that I am personally interested in (and have written about too, in the past).
The interesting thing is, as this war has shown, drones are cheap and plenty - and available to everyone, not just state actors. I think we can expect lots of drone strikes on oil/gas infrastructure, simply because its the soft underbelly of our current energy systems.

As soon as we manage to radicalize the climate change protests, this will be a popular type of target, to force humanity to progress to other energy sources.

If so called friends don't make priority for you then they never were your friends.
> Do any contracts even matter between Russia and Europe at this point.

Doubtful. I think the most rational reason Russia might have done it was to remove a bargaining chip from any Russian challengers to Putin. But this seems like a stretch; if Putin thought some gazprom executive was going to use the pipeline to negotiate a peace with Europe, he'd probably just order that executive and his family murdered. That seems to be the way he operates.

Self-sabotage to preempt coups is not unheard of though. The organizational dysfunction and poorly trained state of several militaries around the world is probably attributable in part to self-sabotage, by politicians who fear military coups.
Then explain to me why the US would not blow up both pipes of NS2? And instead blew up NS1 completely?

That makes no sense for anyone but Russia (leave the option slightly ajar for selling gas later on).
And the contracts would not quite be irrelevant since they could then try to seize more assets from Russia.

Also a Norway-Poland gas pipeline was opened up just one day before the NS attacks, so could also be sending a message.
Well, it's not an absolute statement. But where I live I'd say 90%+ cars drive by the rules.

Anyway, my point wasn't that cars are sticklers for rules, but that to the extent they do, it's because the consequences of non compliance are potentially severe.

Drive on an escooter the wrong way with no lights at night through a red light, and hit a pedestrian? Get up and keep going.
Ecclesiastes may be my favorite book of the Old Testament as I find it provides a very pragmatic perspective on modern day materialism and other vices.

I don't want to start a theological flame war here but I think it's extremely unfortunate that the Dispensationalist's view of Revelation is the face of North American Protestantism. It's a rather new theology (mid 1800's) but I think it's what most non Christians, that have more than a passing interest in such matters, ascribe to the faith. For those of us who don't subscribe to this theology, the events predicted in Revelation already happened in 70 A.D.
An OpenAI Story: From Hegemon to Underdog
You don't think that the US and UK can jointly plan to do something without holding hands? It doesn't really matter who actually physically did it. What's important is who intended to it, which is probably both of them. Maybe nationals from other countries were involved (maybe Ukranians? Poles? Idk). But the US and UK would actually be planning/administering the operation.

It wouldn't ever need to be a requirement, but I imagine there exist people who want to use TiddlyWiki and for whom installing an Electron app would be a more accessible on-ramp.
I may be wrong, but I think this is probably bad advice for this situation.

Some programmer who isn't familiar with the front-end world probably is going to develop a website by copying and pasting little HTML/CSS/JS snippets they find online that kinda solves their problems. It's not going to be particularly pretty code (and that's ok), but with a little brute force effort, they'll eventually make it work.

But using something like Elm means that probably somewhere near ~99% of the HTML/CSS/JS examples you find online aren't going to be helpful examples for you that you can easily translate into your own work.

The pay isn't all that important to me, as long as I can live on it, but this. It was so obvious when I was working in academia that because I wasn't myself an academic that I was just lab help, no better than the person who washes the test tubes and beakers.
This please. I would love to start working on (or create from scratch) some software that helps people in that field.
Not to be mean, but maybe you don’t have very good friends? Everyone knows some acquaintances but true friendships are super valuable.
Given that Biden has explicitly threatened to sabotage the NS2 pipeline, it's not I would say that the prime suspect has to be the USA. It's true that Russia would be the secondary suspect, just because of their quite erratic behavior.

But it is extremely important to note that Russia always had the option of simply stopping gas delivery even if the pipeline was not destroyed (and Germany similarly could stop delivery at the other end), while other parties had to actually sabotage the pipeline if they wanted to prevent such deals.

I have no doubt some there are a couple hundred talented developers in the USA who would not only be fine, but enjoy the challenge.

My company has a "special operations task force" of disagreeable highly technical 10x to 100x engineers who come onto failing projects, fix them, and leave. These guys enjoy (almost unbelievably) extremely hard projects, and working 18-20 hr days to fix messes. They once took over a conference room for 2 weeks, and slept and showered in the company while fixing a major product.

I'm a manager for a high performance team but not that high performance. I have list of at least 100 names of high profile performance developers we keep an eye on.

All of his complaints are intentional.

* There is intentionally no global search. Mastodon is about conversation among people, not about searching out every single person in the entire fediverse who mentions your name or a topic you want to argue about so you can argue with them.

* Mastodon instances can intentionally choose to not federate with other instances. This is why, even though people regularly bring up that there are servers full of Nazis on Mastodon, you never see them. Because everyone blocked their instances. Everyone blocks The Gab immediately for example. If someone on an instance is harassing people, the first step is to report them to their instance admin. If they don't take any action, the next step is to defederate from that instance because they don't have the level of moderation safety your instance expects. Defederating is what keeps out harassment and trolls, because the instances that don't moderate them get iced out of the Fediverse. But it is not, as described, a situation where one instance "Doesn't Like" another. Harassment ~= "Doesn't Like." There might be a few who defederate with that little reason, but not the vast majority.

* Sure, the small instances are an old server in someone's basement. There are also massive instances with many servers and redundancies. You can also get a managed Mastodon instance. You could also run an instance for just you on a Raspberry Pi. Your choice whether you put it in the basement or your living room.

* I'm surprised he didn't also mention a lack of quote tweets, but that's also intentional.[1]

All these complaints come down to: join an instance that runs how you want it. Join one with text search or not. Join one with strong or no moderation (but with no moderation, expect it is isolated from many other instances). Join a small instance in someone's basement or a big one with a huge patreon. Or just put up your own, in your own basement, at a host, or managed.

Or just don't join mastodon. Don't tell people to quit having fun because you choose not to understand it.
