The March 2003 campaign against Iraq was conducted by a coalition of forces from different countries, some of which were NATO member countries and some were not. NATO as an organization had no role in the decision to undertake the campaign or to conduct it.
> Invading Ukraine wasn’t about denazification, or nato threat, or anything except naked imperialism.

I agree. An additional reason AFAICS is that a slavic country, similar to Russia in many ways, making moves towards becoming a liberal democracy was seen as a threat to the domestic power of Putin and his inner circle. The Maidan revolution spreading to Moscow is surely a nightmare scenario for Putin.
I inherit small- to medium- sized projects from other developers at the agency I work with and to be able to run a project through it and get this sort of analysis without having to find the entry-points and whatnot myself... easily worth the money.

It's not something I'd be using with any regularity (on the same project), but I can see where it'd be worth it, even at a dollars-per-project cost.
This use case is why we need local models that work. In the future you will build a server to host your own models or pay.
That $15M he turned down is looking pretty good right now.

“In October 2021, a jury awarded him $137 million in damages in the case, but a federal judge threw out that award as excessive. US District Judge William Orrick offered Diaz $15 million in damages in the case instead, but Diaz rejected the offer, choosing instead to have a new trial.”
Ok

How would one determine if this statement is true or not "when doing business?"
As a Polish guy, this is the best international policy news I got in a while. Finland is a great ally and definitely will up the security in the region.
If I may piggyback on this, I would recommend the "Uni Jetstream 4&1 4 Color 0.5 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil". It costs only $10 and is available everywhere. It's one of those pens that has 4 buttons to change colors but this one also has a 0.5 mm pencil built in and a tiny eraser in the cap. Having the option to add color to my notes easily made them a lot easier to read, especially for code.
> Figuring out if the plan is still the right one?

15% every week is the problem here. If you spend 10% of your annual budget on upfront planning and 5% monthly on checkins, that's maybe ok. Putting the whole team in a room every week is just going to churn the plan constantly - inputs likely aren't changing with that frequency, and you aren't going to be able to pull in all the other stakeholders that often anyway

Yep I've seen seniors/principals come in and steamroll people trying to do FP by claiming that it was inscrutable and irresponsible. Sometimes even going up the chain to cause shake-up without the team's input. Even though said FP was in production, working with a low bug rate, and the entire team was fine with it. And I've seen this happen at multiple companies.

I've come to think it's the biggest existential risk to doing Haskell in industry - it's red meat to org-chart climbing sharks. And the people who tend to be willing to learn and do FP in prod tend to not be politically-minded (usually due to strong principles and values), making them even weaker to these attacks.
That's not how most generational wealth was created. From mobsters that went "legit" (Bronfmans, Kennedys...) to people who build their fortunes off war profiteering, slavery, genocide, child labor... They weren't grinding away for 40-100 years at some labor job. They exploited people, captured the gains, then used the power law to stay on the top.
What do you mean "there's nothing to fix"? That sentence doesn't make sense. Are you suggesting cultural change is impossible or undesirable, or am I misinterpreting?

So, this is the TSA but: “TSA classifies items that you can spill, spread, spray, pump or pour as needing to be 3.4 ounces or smaller to fit into a 3-1-1 bag,” TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said. “There has been no change in the categorization of any of these items, including peanut butter, which is a spreadable and thus falls under the 3.4-ounce limit.”

Apparently “spreadable” is one of the criteria. I’d argue anything is spreadable if you try hard enough.
Wikipedia is my favorite source of fun facts. Most folks don’t know this but there is a “random” button on Wikipedia that will take you to a random article! It’s a great way to spend an afternoon.

If the noise/signal ratio with that button is too high, I built wikiscroll.blankenship.io for my own use (built on a similar mechanism) you’re free to use it!
As I understand it, the proponents of TDD would argue that as long as the implementation tends towards laziness (avoiding unnecessary complexity), adding more and more tests to handle additional edge cases should cause the code to converse to solving the general case (and avoid local minima).

I suppose that the crucial piece is the laziness, including refactoring whenever possible, to save time on addressing each subsequent test case.
apparently unlike you, i dont pay much attention to what putin says. all you said in your last post is that something which clearly happened didnt in order to more nicely fit with your world view. hard to argue with that so i will leave it at that. an internet discussion is highly unlikely to change the course of events. my reason for posting is just to show that there exist people who think differently. but i guess to people like you i must be a paid foreign agent. uncle joe taught you well

So if energy is available in large amounts (its sunny) and water is scarce.. does it make sense at some point to pump whole rivers back up into cisterns/reservoirs in the mountains or source areas for aquifiers?

A mastermind is more like the guy standing at the front of the gym selling shake mix. Doing the exercise will make a much bigger difference no matter your diet, but he gets paid to sell shakes. So of course he’s going to tell you you need to buy his pre and post workout, and the diet shake and that’s how everyone else at the gym looks as good as they do. You see him talk to everyone who comes in, which validates what he’s saying. But you’re over by the weight stacks lifting so you don’t know what gets said. He greets everyone like an old friend because he knows the effect it will have on people. And you mistake it for the truth.

> Look at Android, you can use the source in a "right to repair" manner but Google doesn't take patches so you can't give back even if you wanted to.

Well, license obliging the original author to take patches back would be weird one.

But Google could suck in any change to their own and make it better.

> The same goes for Apple and Google's OSS browser. The source is there, but there is more or less no way to give back, and they certainly don't.

That's a different problem that's a bit orthogonal to licensing and has more to do with project leadership. Like, you don't even need to have OSS license to allow users to contribute to project.
I'd normally agree with you, but we're in a situation right now where Russia is waging a brutal war of aggression that has already killed more people than the US did in Afghanistan over 20 years (which, to be clear, is a war we never should have started). That same Russia has a well-developed propaganda arm that has been very active since long before the war in trying to draw favorable comparisons between their behavior and the US's. In this context, I'll take the potentially-unearned downvotes over letting Russian propaganda have its say.
Russia's concern is they will not be able to invade former Soviet countries if they join NATO, which gets in the way of their imperial ambitions. NATO is not going to invade Russia.
The BBC has some extremely good content... nature documentaries (David Attenborough), science shows (Horizon), archaeological/history (Digging for Britain), comedy (Ghosts), comedy/news/current affairs (Have I Got News For You). The US does big budget shows very well, but for a wide variety of content I really miss the BBC when I can't access it. I'm obviously biased though.

The 5 extra PTO days are not worth halving my salary and then almost halving it again. I may move (back) to Europe when I retire or come close to that age.
Holy tamole.

Had worked someplace for a short stint. There was a guy who'd started a couple months before I did. His work was 'revolutionary' and 'groundbreaking' - he'd been trying to build some sort of AOP-style PHP system - PHP4, mind you - without any extensions or internals work. It was just 'program this way' - undocumented patterns that encouraged copy/paste to half-way almost get you something usable (except, not really). "Build a form to take a few fields input and store in a database" example took days to develop, because... he was just winging it. Session management? nope - we'll need to roll our own, and that'll take a few weeks.

About half the team (20ish folks) were enraptured by this guy. Someone rambled about great this guy was, said something along the lines of "you know those sorts of geniuses that are so far ahead of everyone else that they can't even explain things, and no one else can quite understand it? that's where we're at, and it's just so awesome - I can't wait to learn more!"

This guy saying that was, at the time, like... the #2 guy on the team, had been there for years, and was the defacto 'team lead' for that work, and he was taken in by a huckster. The aop guy was there for about 10 months, then left abruptly - left on a friday, sent an email on monday with "i resign, i got another job". somehow, some folks were "shocked" at his "unprofessionalism". The entire tenure had been unprofessional, but few cared to label it that.

You're so good and smart that you built something we all need to use, but you can't explain it (let alone why it's good/better), everyone else plainly admits they don't understand much about it, and use the lack of understanding as evidence that they're so bad this must be genius-level work. Insane...
Yes, dear Eastern Europe, please don't join NATO, otherwise we won't be able to invade you once we finish modernizing our army. After all we are a master race destined by God to rule over Eastern Europe. Please respect our concerns.

With code editing, I keep the pen between the thumb and the palm while touch typing, which works because the pen is very light, so you can almost forget that you are still holding it.

This allows much faster transitions between typing and pointing than with a mouse.

I have not tried a vertical mouse, but I agree that it is likely to solve most of the comfort problems caused by a classic mouse.

Nevertheless, there is no chance for it to be as fast and accurate as a pen. With the pen I can point to any place on the screen pretty much instantaneously and using a negligible muscular force, due to its lightness.

I recently heard a quote that resonated with me: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together". I wonder if someone who treats these tasks as "non-work" is thinking of themselves as being more productive because they go faster than the folks around them, not considering that these other tasks that slow them down individually also help the team go farther in the long run...

> I find it weird and a direct provocation,

Listen Andrey. Russia has invaded its neighboring countries repeatedly during recent history. I think that's more than enough to explain why anyone near Russia would like to be in a defensive pact.

I also don't think anyone should be concerned whether Russia finds that "weird" or "a provocation". At all.

> the ambitions are not different from the ambitions of Russia

The ambition of Russia to invade foreign countries and basically include them in the Russian state? is that the ambition of any NATO country? Which part of a country has been invaded and annexed by a NATO country?
Sure, it will be safe because it won't be able to go above 5V 3.0A (15W) at absolute max since it won't be negotiating PD. Most likely it won't have the proper termination resistors on the CC line and will get a whopping 900mA@5V = 4.5W

Used to use an arduino with a rangefinder and led matrix to notify when coworkers would be behind me. Always had headphones on and usually would get hit with a jump scare from them tapping me or waving hands in front of my face. Also, had a coworker who routinely interrupted throughout the day just to gab and at times I wouldn't take my headphones off. A bit of a cold shoulder but they were excessive with the interruptions
Consider an alternative approach: chunk up and embed your entire codebase (dramatically cheaper) and insert it into a vector store. when you go to send a query, search the store and retrieve the most relevant chunks, and those are what you send with your query.

Optionally send other specific code alongside it.

This should be similar in quality and dramatically cheaper. It's quite doable with langchain, and you can use Chroma + DuckDB to avoid having to pay for Pinecone.

You could even maintain there vector store using git diffs to only update chunks that have changed.
Seems like this would greatly increase the risk of everyone being fired.

Yes but I've also been buried in presentations, diagrams, and ticket management that don't contribute to communication. That's doubly wasteful because not only is time wasted making all these artifacts, but even when produced they still don't improve understanding. Might as well have a chatbot write them, they couldn't be worse. Ticket management fails to keep anyone updated when it's just a performative way to make managers and execs believe they are seeing progress when in fact the ticket board is a fiction unrelated to real effort.

How does that differ from what you wrote?
>Still? how is that at all applies to workers? Workers should be caring more of how the business is regulated instead of their own rights/conditions? That does not make sense to me at all.

You can care about whatever you want. Introducing regulation and hoops to jump through for businesses comes with a cost though.

It goes beyond Google. I'm saying Europe should be concerned that a lot of their top talent leaves to start businesses or work in other countries.
> If ticket priority does not matter, then why do you care?

Because when you have a ticket priority system, there is often someone external who cares deeply about ticket priority. And reporting requirements around ticket priority. And metrics about ticket priority over time.

The whole "yeah, just have a conversation" thing bugs me a lot. I like talking, and having conversations. It's rarely enough. The information needs to be written down (or codified in tests or whatever). Future people won't have the luxury of a conversation with whoever originally wrote something. Conversations aren't indexable. Conversations lose nuance, memories fade or get jumbled. Have your conversation, then document/diagram it afterwards.

OP here. This is a collection of app-level and library-level SQLite optimizations I've come across over the years, working with SQLite on various platforms. SQLite itself is great, but there is often a lot overhead added by higher-level libraries/bindings. This post discusses both performance optimizations ideally implemented in libraries, as well as options like JSON1 operations that could be used to make operations efficient even when the library is not.
Ah yes, but the whole point of the project is to go away from this:

ldstr "Hello!"
call void [mscorlib]System.Console::Write (string)

And come to that:

((write: "Hello!"))

So `ldstr` does indeed feature in the example but only as a "before" picture.

But you're right, it is about adding syntactic features to the existing language.

Yes I agree. I work with these systems, they are so complex I think all of it would have to be in memory at once. My "dream" requires many chained miracles and that something like this would be possible at all, abolishing technical debt would only be a footnote of the effects on the world. Anyway I still think it's possible and obviously in one way or another humans will always be in the loop.
