Who knows, too soon. But Prigozhin did seemingly lose to Shoigu earlier when Putin agreed to have all the "external" soldiers to be under the ShoiguúMoD command.

So this may very well be the final fight between the two.
You can say no. I mentioned this to someone who reported to me (he was just a year out of college) and he was amazed. It never occurred to him that he didn't have to go to every meeting he was invited to.

Discuss with your manager. "I'm being invited to all these meetings and I don't get any value from them. Do I really need to go?" Let him/her figure it out; that's what they're there for.
It’s the entire premise of Snow Crash.
In Europe we say that Americans know showmanship, which is not always meant as a compliment.

Kind of funny timing because I've noticed my messages in Slack have been quite a bit more delayed than usual for the last few months, especially when moving between devices. Maybe they need more "channel servers"
Okay, so I can get access to platform specific APIs?

When you say "Native compontents" it still sounds very UI focused :P
All of these.

But the most important are:

1. Just don’t go.

2. Fill your calendar with blocks for Engineering and only be available for meetings at certain times of the day. Make sure your managers knows and you should be good.
Did they take their website offline? Or did it, uh... collapse under load?
It could be a psyop, but it's far from absurd. Tensions between Yevgeny Prigozhin and Putin have been high. Most notable were the public threats from Wagner to pull out of Bakhmut due to lack of supplies. If anyone has the potential to seize power away from Putin, it's Prigozhin.

Prigozhin has an army, one which is vital to Putin's war effort. Do you really think Prigozhin wouldn't turn on Putin given the opportunity?

Basically, if this paper is right, 2021 was the last year usable training data could be pulled from the internet. It could be all downhill from hereon out, as the amount of AI generated content will soon overtake actual human generated and -curated data on the internet.

Code like that needs a 10 ft comment. I have been save by seeing those on otherwise “why the fuck is this needed” code.

If they if ignore the comment, well that is hubris.
The opposite viewpoint is that you are being included in these meetings so that you can prevent bad decisions by management. What if you aren't in a meeting where it is decided that you should implement feature x because they imagine it to be low cost, not realising the complexity?
Similar to a separate thread here, I just can't get behind the idea that we as a society are helpless without governments "nudging" us in what they see as the right direction.

First and foremost we need to educate or population better, but from there the government should rarely need to go beyond good faith research and trusting it's people to generally make the best decision for themselves.
> We're so innovative

what I'm wondering is: what's the incentive to be "innovative" in the first place? Unless "innovation" is an end in itself.

Is there some great unmet need to send people to extreme depths, especially when unmanned probes can do most necessar work nowadays?
Its a big hackernews meme that NASA spends way too much on safety/beurocracy instead of innovation. Plenty of other submarines companies do the same (and get classed).

I don't think this is a very insightful comparison.
The linked article is very clearly an attempt to persuade its reader that the lack of classing (IE verification of safety by an external auditor) is less of an issue than they might otherwise think. Your advice to a reader of this article is rational here, but I think it's worth also pointing out that the article is meant to persuade said reader to not think that way
The electron critique is the usual weak sauce even though the headline (performance not as good as native) is technically correct.

75% of respondents to the StackOverflow survey are using VSCode. In a market saturated with alternatives, this isn't by chance nor is it being forced on anyone.

The vast majority of people simply don't care if it's an electron app or not because the difference in performance is inconsequential on a modern laptop or workstation.
I'm not an expert, but I wonder if the wide network could then be trimmed down for special purposes? E.g., find the parts of the network needed for a certain task by looking at activations on inputs and dump the rest.
Meta and Mastodon – What’s really on people’s minds?
Interesting. I'd say that for systems, defense-in-depth usually relies on various forms of maintenance, and consistent effort to maintain functional parity in redundancies. In other words, just having a redundancy or secondary system is not enough. There's a lot of care and feeding when a secondary uses a different method of achieving the same ends as the primary. That requires effort -- which is all too often skipped or falls out of common knowledge.

I mean, an electric train that goes to the middle of the city or town you are going to and then a walk or a bus or taxi at the other end, it's no comparison really.

If you don't have a car you choose where to live based on this, when I used to commute I always lived never more than 7 minutes walk from a station.
1. Start by always asking for the agenda - many meetings can be addressed as an email
2. Try to understand what do they expect from you in the meeting - if nothing important probably can be addressed by email
3. Block your calendar with hours of focus - let everyone that you need them and are non-negotiable.

The problem is that that is the same idea that people are proposing with hydrogen energy storage systems. The difference is that hydrogen works a lot like natural gas. You can pipe it and fire up gas turbines with it. It is also useful as a chemical feedstock in many industrial processes. You can also use it to power vehicles, something that you probably can't with this idea.

So in other words, this is a really crappy version of something that already exists. I guess there are three takeaways to be had:

1) We still need large scale energy storage and it simply cannot just be a pile of batteries. It really needs to be a chemical system and it really has to be able to burn.

2) But that always takes you down one road: Hydrogen or something made from hydrogen. That's the only class of chemicals that really works and doesn't involve carbon. This causes a lot of conflict since it is definitely not many people's favored energy storage idea. And since so much FUD has been flung around for so long because of that, many people have become convinced that this inevitability is actually impossible.

3) So you usually end up with two alternative ideas: Something crazy like burning metals. I've heard of burning boron too BTW. This particular proposal is a continuation of that way of thinking. Probably they are all DOA ideas. And the other is something akin to linking all of the grids across world together with vast numbers of HVDC lines. But this too is crazy, especially once you realize the sheer cost and complexity of it all. Not to mention you are still wasting oodles of energy since you have minimal energy storage.

So eventually we end up in this cycle of one crazy idea being proposed after another, and nothing of importance actually being achieved.
It IS seemingly needlessly nonstandard, but I’ll actually take it over the infuriating default all so-called “UX designers” insist on today, which is links differentiated solely by color, and an almost identical color to the surrounding text. Underlines are great. Using a recognizable color is great. The fact that it makes links stick out is a feature, not a bug. continues to bang head on table
Minimising complexity by reducing the number of paths (branches, nested loops etc.) through your code.

Thinking of the stupidest way we can get it done and then ruthlessly refactoring until the resulting algorithm / system is as simple as possible.

OceanGate vs Lochridge [0] is an interesting lawsuit which may interest some of the readers here.

It doesn't matter into which page you scroll, all things you get to read are related to concerns of the security of the sub. Ok, it basically starts at page 9, all before it is legalese bootstrapping.

> Defendant David Lochridge has extensive background as a submarine pilot and training of the same [...] Underwater Inspector, and trained to recognize flaw and points out failure in subsea equipment

> May 2015 [...] began working with OceanGate as an independent contractor

> As a part of his job duties, Lochridge was the Director of Marine Operations and was tasked with "ensuring the safety of all crew and clients during submesible and surface operations."

> Issues of quality control with the new submersible Titan were raised, as there were evident flaws throughout the build process [...]

> Lochridge worked on his report and requested paperword [...] was met with hostility and denial of access to the necessary documentation.

> Lochridge first expressed verbal concerns over the safety and quality control issues regarding the Titan to OceanGate executive management. These verbal communications were ignored.

And so on.

So just enough times to weaken the hull through stress fractures.

It wasn't rated for the depth. In fact, I think it was rated for 1000 meters less than the target depth.

It happens a lot. I think it's one of the big reasons that hyped-up video games and movies always disappoint.

It would really suck to lose an air crew because a trash can of all things made by some rando in their garage flew out of its mount in a wing over maneuver on a training exercise.
I wouldn't say none. If you're going to plan a coup, do it well the military is distracted.

Unmanned submersibles have plenty of market value. You may still be losing money, but you can strap sensors and cameras to the thing / undercut on price for research missions and substantially reduce the cash burn while building investor confidence.

Yes, I don't understand this acoustic monitoring concept... I'm curious what the logic behind it was. It just doesn't seem like there would be enough time to take action once the monitor starts to detect failure.

I'm still trying to understand why they wanted to use carbon composites. Cost to manufacture? Low mass? I read somewhere that the carbon pressure vessel was about five inches thick. I'm not sure how thick a comparable titanium vessel would be, or how much that would cost.

> i can share the sources with the developer of this software so it allow them to fix it for me

But is that realistic? Will you be able to convince a third-party to work with RHEL code if they can't actually install a system themselves? You could provide the code for the errant library, but to really test it, the developer would probably like to try it on a full RHEL system. And if that is now difficult to do w/o a RHEL subscription, what's the third-party developer to do?

What you'll find is a slow migration away from third-parties supporting RHEL. I'm not sure what the end game here is for IBM, but it makes the entire ecosystem significantly more difficult to work with.
Right, I guess the question is what will that proportion be when Rust is used for things like operating systems and web browsers. 30% would be untenable but a few hundred/thousand lines of unsafe code is fairly easy to put under a microscope.

For some current day research into this, there is the paper "How Do Programmers Use Unsafe Rust?"[1] which I'll drop a quote from here:

> The majority of crates (76.4%) contain no unsafe features at all. Even in most crates that do contain unsafe blocks or functions, only a small fraction of the code is unsafe: for 92.3% of all crates, the unsafe statement ratio is at most 10%, i.e., up to 10% of the codebase consists of unsafe blocks and unsafe functions

That paper is definitely worth reading and goes into why programmers use unsafe. e.g 5% of the crates at that time were using it to perform FFI.

In writing "RUDRA: Finding Memory Safety Bugs in Rust
at the Ecosystem Scale" [2], I recreated this data and year-by-year the % of crates using unsafe is going down. And for what it's worth, crates are probably a bad data-set for this. crates tend to be libraries which are exactly where we would expect to find unsafe code encapsulated to be used safely. There's also plenty of experimental and hobby crates. A large dataset of actual binaries would be way more interesting to look at.

Also: the reason most accidents are due to operator error and not mechanical failure is because the requirements exist in the first place.

Many web pages have loading progress bars. They're usually only 1-2 pixels thick and take up the entire top 1-2 rows of pixels on the page. Some stuff loads asynchronously, so it can be easy to miss them, but I see them all the time. Just today, I was using Jenkins and it does that!

True. Those metals have flex and recovery to them though, not nearly as rigid as carbon fiber

FWIW, archers tap or attempt to flex arrows and listen to them to tell if the carbon has cracked. An intact arrow will flex a little, silently where damaged ones will crackle and sometimes splinter or shatter.

I had the same false information. It either came from the Sub Brief guy himself, or whoever he used as a source. He explicitly stated that the sub had only been tested down to between 3000 and 4000 meters, not the full 4000 meters. As other links show, this seems to have been incorrect.

I've heard the same argument against not using heroin.

It's a generic pretend argument: You say doing(or not doing) this thing will be risky. So that means you're saying that people who don't do(or do) the thing have perfect lives with no risks and free ice cream?

Zerohedge, which is basically just a Russian propaganda source, is saying that the Wagner chief is already attempting to walk back his comments. Which kind of makes sense, as a moderately sized PMC has approximately zero chance against the might of a nation. So I'm not really sure that anything is gonna happen here. Hope I'm wrong, though.

> If they kill him, he'll become a martyr

Prigozhin seems to be playing this savvily. Extremely savvily. He isn't directly threatening Putin. There is a face-saving change in which Shoigu et al are executed and Prigozhin and Putin split their cookies. Putin can frame it as discovering they lied to him, and possibly even re-set expectations for the war in Ukraine.
This seems complex, and not necessarily in a good way
Still seems like correlation.

This is just armored vehicles rolling down a road. No context, no way to validate timestamp, no nothing. Even if it was precautionary stationing of troops, as done when the National Guard is activated, it doesn't mean the country is undergoing a revolution. Sorry.

> The theory is that each dive reduced the integrity of the ship and eventually it would fail. Could be 10 or it could be 10,000 drops.

It is already of high value to know whether the number is more like 10 or 10,000.

> And that number would be different if you built a second ship.

That is why you build the second ship either as similar as possible to the first one or in a way for which there exists evidence that it will have an improved integrity over the first.
Why would they want to? If this does escalate enough, it would make more sense for them to redouble the efforts for their offensive - they still have plenty of reserves that haven't entered the fray yet.

And then, if the plan to cut off Crimea succeeds, they could try to negotiate with Russia - on much stronger terms.
probably too soon for that one
Property values are something like 70% of China's wealth, but only 30% of production. A GDP drop of 15% is very conceivable.

I think it's likely GP is wrong about the 50% figure, but if they were correct the CCP would never publish the number for fear of scaring away foreign investment. So it may be worth looking into more deeply.

Isn't Kerberos explicitly designed to run over untrusted networks and not require any additional transport encryption?

You could argue that the common implementations are large piles of legacy C with questionable memory safety that could open them to exploitation by malicious actors, but that's an implementation detail rather than the protocol itself - and I believe there's at least one (mostly?) memory-safe implementation in Java called Apache Kerby.
What if the whole thing is about Putin setting up some lower level fall guys for a loss in Ukraine? Prigozhin maybe? Provoke him into doing something crazy, take him out, then claim he is responsible for failure on the front or even that he's a traitor and was working with Ukraine or something.
Yes, this doesn't make sense to me either. I suppose it could help prevent bucking and crack propagation, because as the walls of the sub started to bend, one side would have to suddenly be in tension? Still, I wonder if a pure plastic/epoxy hull would have actually been stronger than composite in this situation.
That makes no sense. Carbon fiber is not known to fail under max load gracefully.
