Yes, it is all meddled. Victoria Nuland was one of the main orchestrators regarding the Ukraine coup, quite clear when hearing the leaked phone call in which see also stated "fuck the EU" (might help people find the audio when Googling).
> Why is the US taxpayer so much more invested in this contrasted to a French or German taxpayer?

I mean the US has made a choice in that rather then doing healthcare for all and other social programs to run a jobs program through the military industrial complex. Investing into Ukraine is investing into the US as expensive missiles and etc mean that American companies (and their workers) receive a lot of tax money which goes to benefit their local (American) communities.

Now you could argue that we should invest backwards into the US by building bridges to nowhere and other types of projects but my point is not that military investment is the best use way to support the economy just that is does support the economy.

It talks about how a simple malloc implementation would doll out entries in a buffer of memory and manage free lists, but not how the implementation actually gets that buffer from the operating system, or return it to the system when done (mmap, munmap, for example).

Oh, I thought they made it, but it was something the banana industry requested to have standards for trade.

I always thought "journalists" whipping up outage over something the regulated industry requested(!) should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. This kind of "reporting" was probably a contributing factor in anti-EU sentiment and ultimately Brexit.

The original reason for Russia to take Bakhmut was because it's a useful operational point on the way to Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, and pinching those cities out would have enveloped a decent fraction of skilled Ukrainian troops. However, the rout in Kherson and the Russian evacuation from all the towns there meant that there were no longer any forces pushing Slovyansk from the north, so the resulting operational picture no longer makes much sense.

The continued reason for Russia to take Bakhmut at that point is largely attributed to inter-service rivalry within Russia: Wagner was hell-bent on taking it, to prove greater competence than Russia military (conscript or professional) forces. Ukraine continued fighting to defend it because it gave them such favorable casualty ratios, although it has been suggested that the casualty ratio became unfavorable to Ukraine in the past few months. (Whether or not it was still a good idea for Ukraine to continue contesting Bakhmut rather than withdrawing entirely is a question that has no clear answer right now, and will be hard to properly assess likely until well after the war is over. Fog of war is hard!)

Gift cards or an in-between like privacy.com where you can set max-spend on a card number are probably the best method for parents. It should probably be on the platform to suggest features along these lines, as we can't reasonably educate all parents on this, and it's against the individual game dev's best interests to show parents to limit spending (moreso than the platform as a whole)
Yeah, it’s more they might have found a way to test the latest fix, than anything.

The article is a thought-provoking piece of art. A few personal observations from me:

a) An acyclic computational graph is equivalent to a program without loops and thus not Turing-complete

b) A cyclic computational graph is equivalent to a program with recursion. The closest analogy from the programming world is a program without loops but with recursive calls. This means that it has Turing completeness, as loops are fully interchangeable with recursion (just different facets of the same thing).

As easy as 2+2=4. This means that a neural network is essentially a program. The only difference is the way to write the program: neural networks do it themselves by "learning".

Those simple observations explain everything. Brain is essentially a biological Turing-complete processing unit with full plasticity, as you can build any network (program) by changing "weights" of the neurons. This also means that full AI is possible, it is just a matter of the available computational power. Why is that? Because Turing completeness guarantees the absence of boundaries for achieving progressively sophisticated system abilities.

> Why's it treated as being a "per page" subscription? Doesn't that favour subscribers that use the printer to produce full-page, full-colour images at maximum saturation? Doesn't it disadvantage people who want a page of text?

Because the cost of page of text is so neglible in terms of ink that any limit that would let them upsell people printing text pages would be hit nearly instantly by people printing photos, and there's a lot more of the former group. It also lets them sell the potential that you'll print some colour photos at some point, when you won't.

It is the most democratic situation. Companies can decide between a leave that market, b treat the whole world by the strictest laws or c only follow those laws for those residents. If the cheapest solution is b, and capitalism demands the cheapest solution, then that’s useful information for the shareholders to choose a path. Just because we know what they will always choose doesn’t make it undemocratic.
It’s sort of incomprehensible that there wouldn’t be, even if that bridge is forever incomprehensible to us. There are boundaries between where GR and QM are predictive, so presumably, unless there’s some strange smooth transition of equations between those two regimes (which would itself lend itself to a mathematical theory), then there must be a consistent set of equations which explain both regimes consistently and simultaneously.

Part of that could be that writers tended to work harder to build the world rather than assume an audience familiar with the tropes.

Many of the tent-pole movies of the last twenty years are also sequels that rehash the original, rather than continue a story, or tell a new one. The Matrix is more than twenty years old, for example.

There are exceptions. But only a few. Sturgeon's Law, perhaps. But I tend to agree with you. (Urge to growl "Get off my lawn" rising.)
The topic is British railways, where the trains are constructed, owned and operated by private companies. Railway vehicle manufacturing companies are presumably profitable, as they're all private. (At least the ones relevant to the UK.)

The track, electricity supply, signalling system etc in Britain is owned and maintained (and extended) by a public company, although it contracts out a lot of the maintenance work.

I am curious what you think a fair price for driving a car on the motorway from, say, London to Leicester (exactly 100 miles) should cost. Currently it's free, although fuel is taxed, perhaps around £5 for that journey.

At Toughbyte, our onboarding process looks like this: on the first working day, the new employee has all the necessary accounts set up and receives a document where we’ve detailed how we see their progress after one week, one month, and three months of work. An onboarding checklist helps the new developer navigate the company knowledge base, understand the technologies we’re using, our code base, and the most common mistakes to avoid.

We try to get the new employee to write code from the very first day. They start with simple tasks, such as fixing issues on the frontend, adding tests, and working on the business logic. Such tasks help them get acquainted with the code and lower the risk of breaking something critical.

The onboarding guide is also useful for mentors. It describes the learning plan for the new developer, as well as how to better organize the learning process itself.

Do you know what 100,000 horses did to the streets of New York in the 1890s?

Poop. Lots, and lots, and lots of Poop.

Not only that, but to feed those horses, you needed a horse to pull a carriage full of horsebread (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsebread). Those horses that pulled the horsebread into the city also pooped. IIRC, 30% of all traffic was horsebread, supporting the other traffic that was going on.

I guarantee you. A horse has more environmental impact than gasoline. In particular, one-ton of gasoline moves more gasoline than one-ton of horsebread moved horsebread.

The best performing team I've worked with so far contributed to my skepticism of Agile, or at least the Agile™ that is so mainstream nowadays, with scrum, story points, standup meetings, and scrum masters. The team had none of it, it had a simple kanban board, and projects followed almost a waterfall method: scope requirements, find initial customers, decide what the success criteria is, implement it, and reflect on how it went. Working on this team was so incredibly liberating and productive.

Unfortunately it did not escape the claws from corporate - a team with a long leash is a team that cannot be micromanaged. Nowadays it spends a lot of time churning Jira tickets, 30 minutes every day on Zoom chats regurgitating updates that could easily be done in 5 minutes on Slack, and bike-shedding wheter a bugfix is a 2 or a 3. Morale is down, productivity is down, quality is down, but least the higher ups are happy since they have a way to make sure people are completing all their week's story points. I left the company a few months after, but this version of Agile seems to be everywhere I go.
HP: pushing Samuel Vimes' "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness[1] to the limit.

Printer A is $500 up front, printer B is $100, sounds like a great deal until you do the math and realize that it's designed to make you pay a lot more than $400 more in cryptographically-signed consumables over its lifetime. I'm sure there is a very nice big bonus waiting for the HP employee who can figure out a way to make a printer that only works with Genuine Authorized HP Paper as well as Genuine authorized HP Ink, and pitch it in a way the consumers will accept.

I'm going to push back on this one for Linux: The "developer edition" thing was nice when they first started it out and Linux laptops were super-rare. But even then, it was clear that this was a Windows machine that was awkwardly cajoled into mostly-kinda supporting Linux. Some stuff didn't work, there are proprietary drivers that only work with Ubuntu, and in general it just required a lot of tweaking to get it to work at all, in a way that makes it fragile to change -- you really need to run the preloaded Ubuntu and nothing else.

Now that there are machines out there that work out of the box with any upstream Linux kernel, the XPS Windows-first, Linux-eventually model just doesn't seem appealing.

And very concretely, one problem with it is that there's a wait between the Windows version appearing and the Linux-mostly-supporting one appearing. With the recent XPS 13 refresh to the 9315 model, there is currently no developer edition available (Dell lists it as "discontinued" if you go to its webpage), and the Arch wiki shows major compatibility problems, like the webcam not working: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Dell
Authoritarianism is very much so bi-partisan in UK politics.

That said I do think the Tories have taken it to the n-th degree recently, though. It's unlikely that Labour would introduce new bills that are quite as heavy handed as the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 but I imagine they're unlikely to unwind what is currently there now.

Management is a lot more about relationships - try to get 1:1s with your manager, their manager, and their manager. Show up to the 1:1s with good questions, ask to audit leadership meetings/summits, start to send out proposals to improve how the team works rather than what to work on.

What I didn't really realize is that 9/10 if you ask people for their help, they'll usually give it. So if you just ask, "hey can I goto the leadership summit?" They'll say no. But if you ask, "Hey I'm trying to understand what a management direction for my role might like and I think I would learn a lot from the discussions at the leadership summit, do you think I could tag along - maybe virtually- for a day or two?" - They'll probably say yes and throw out an invite. Now you're in the room and can build relationships with the leaders that decide the next manager. (or wisely learn attending these types of meetings isn't what you want to be doing)
The UN is not a government. It is a mostly voluntary organization that exists purely so we never end up in a situation like we did in 1914 or 1939 where the countries of the world are just not at table talking to each other.

I'm running Jitsi in Docker on a VPS. I use it for voice + video chat while playing online games with friends. For this use case, I had to do almost no tweaking from defaults, so I have not become a Jitsi expert at all. It's been running for about a year with no issues I can remember.

One annoyance was that I couldn't figure out how to set up a persistent room protected by a code. My goal was to have no usernames or passwords, but without allowing completely open access - I just wanted to distribute a room name and single known password/passcode my friends could use to get into the room.

Since this didn't seem to be possible at the time, I settled for requiring rooms to have a "host," which is just me. That way I deal with a username and password, but nobody else has to. It does make it impossible for the rest of the group to play without me, but this isn't an issue for our situation.
On a tangentially related note I recently found another manufacturer that is very similar to MikroTik: Teltonika. They are also based in a baltic state (Lithuania) and manufacture a range of inexpensive mostly-commercial-focused networking products. Their firmware is pretty open, and they provide a pretty good SDK that can build all the open source bits of the firmware and can be used to develop third party applications for their routers.

I'm evaluating their RUTX11 LTE/WiFi router as an in-vehicle router for a commercial application. I'm reasonably impressed so far. Their firmware strategy seems to be going for implementing every feature under the sun, so I'd be a bit concerned about the robustness of some of the edge cases, but no problems yet.

(This is not intended to imply "move off of MikroTik to Teltonika because of this security issue" at all, I just needed to get this out of my system)

So you're saying that you based your stance on the Iraq War from what the mainstream media told you? That's the problem right there!

I was against the Iraq War from the start. Concretely, I was at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_February_2003_anti-war_prot... , so my recollection isn't just post-rationalization. It was an uphill battle against the US mainstream media for sure. The anti-war stance only turned out to be more and more vindicated as time went on.

Meanwhile when I saw what happened to Ukraine in 2022, I couldn't see anything besides a justified war of self defense and self determination. I had been relativizing what had been happening in Ukraine previously, along with other global US involvements, as the US military industrial complex doing its thing. But the 2022 invasion was a clear cut attempt to conquer and subjugate the country - with Russia as the aggressor just as the US had been in Iraq.

I've always been abstractly pro-self-defense, but it's been a weird feeling supporting a specific war, especially in agreement with the mainstream. I reflect on it often, but my conclusions are stable.

I also lament the US political capital that was wasted on Iraq, that allows Russia to successfully propagandize western support for Ukraine as being from the same vein, despite Russia being the clear aggressor.
