Prigozhin Listed as Passenger on Plane That Crashed, Killing All Aboard
A nation isn't a singular-minded entity; rather, it comprises diverse citizens who assume various roles and contribute uniquely to global improvement. Just because they've successfully landed a rover on the moon doesn't imply the abandonment of all efforts to alleviate poverty.

Honestly, why does the recognition of India's positive accomplishments always seem overshadowed by the specter of poverty and other challenges? Did the Americans eradicate every societal issue before embarking on their lunar mission? Indians should be proud — this accomplishment is truly remarkable and signifies positive societal strides toward a better collective future. Such achievements ignite hope, and progress is fundamentally built upon hope, regardless of the symbolic origins it might stem from.
FYI, both Russia and China believe that "woke" stuff is corrosive to society, which is why they are fine displaying it to western audiences but not for their own people. They genuinely believe that pushing MORE LGBTQ style stuff will destroy western society. It's a common authoritarian pastime to point and scream at the "different" people for all of society's problems. I think they're wrong.

But what kind of content do you get about china? What about Taiwan, or hong kong? What kind of content do you get about the US as a country? How do you know that the CCP isn't influencing you through subtle recommendation changes?
How to Calculate Stride Length and Step Length
For what it's worth, I prefer romaine or other lettuces or greens in salad, but can appreciate wedge-type iceberg salads as well.

I don't mind shredded iceberg lettuce in certain uses if it's freshly cut and I trust where it's coming from. I like it on a sandwich or burger, for example. I still think I'd prefer other alternatives more but it has its own qualities to appreciate.
Not yet, closest option now is a computer animation synced with the confirmation of touchdown at minute 44 of the video. :(
> Any random stranger can sneeze at any time and kill your whole family.

So true. I live right near a stroad and a crosswalk on that stroad and about once a week I hear brakes being slammed on because people aren't paying attention and it's a high-traffic area for walkers (some of which are children) since the rest of the neighborhood is actually quite walkable. I've live in this place 1 year and now witnessed 4 accidents, luckily none of them killing anyone yet but it's just a matter of time.

I've also been traveling a lot recently and experiencing cities (even American ones) that value good public transportation with metros (and even trains in the Northeast) and it's a breath of fresh air. Then I come back to where I live and the only way to describe it is I'm watching these huge machines, piloted by and only transporting 1 person in most cases, barreling around my local area just narrowly missing each other at high speeds. Every pilot is just assuming every other pilot had enough coffee that day, isn't massively distracted by any number of things, doesn't have road rage, isn't trying to show off their loud, polluting, and dangerous machine, etc. No wonder kids increasingly stay inside and get depressed. Previous generations literally built car and parking lot hellscapes and expect people to still enjoy life outside the home.
When I owned two cars in New England, it was a pretty big win to get both cars inside during the winter especially if a storm were coming. Always took a bunch of cleanup in the fall to deal with all the crap that had migrated out to the floor of the garage during the summer.
Aside from the rounded corners, I'm not seeing the difference. Is that it?
Yeah, it's crazy to think there was a time when cars put little to no engineering into passenger safety. A modern car is designed with room for the engine bay to be crushed to absorb some of the impact while all of the rigidity is put into the cage surrounding the passenger compartment
60million in funding? That's enough for a whole Falcon 9.
The article quotes them describing a range of biochar souce materials:

> “Our research team has gained extensive experience in developing highly optimised biochars from different organic wastes, including wood biochar, food-waste biochar, agricultural waste biochar, and municipal solid-waste biochar, for concrete applications,”

But it doesn't actually say anything about coffee biochar in comparison to any other biochar. Is this a setup to be a research mill where we'll get the same press release every month but next with sugarcane bagasse biochar, corn cob biochar, grain chaff biochar etc etc? Or is it possible to develop some general understanding of "irrespective of source, biochar with grain sizes in x range, and y percentage of carbon and z percentage minerals used in proportion w in concrete yields a product with compressive strength ~f(w, x, y, z)"

private plane with 7 passengers? chances are they were all wagner + wagner crew
What types of activities does this apply to and where does it not apply? Just for the sake of argument, could this also apply to something like murder? i.e. if you wanted to murder somebody, you can do so only if you pay a super high fee otherwise go to prison. If you pay the fee, it must be worth it to you.

> I’ve not been able to find a signed distribution of 7-zip

Since when would a signed binary help when your "opsec" says it's the software itself that is compromised?

Software can still be compromised if it is compromised before being signed.

Assuming you somehow trust the source code and not the binary, in fact, you're better off compiling it yourself and checking if the non-signed software you get is similar enough to the binary you can get from others - Assuming of course you can actually reach reliable reproducible builds with a Windows build chain, a thing that last time I checked was horrible and flaky.

The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”

In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.

From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.

“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.

Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.

you just spent a bunch of energy heating old organic waste

If the heat generated by the curing process in concrete is suffice then you get that for free. Better in fact, because you're making waste heat useful.
Yeah. I went down the rabbit hole of ways to remove most of those components but I guess it’s easy to instruct others on how to setup.

Hotspots often support NEMA GPS protocol to use them as a GPS receiver. All those devices could be powered more efficiently with a DC to DC power supply.
I'll grant that studios may have the ability to do what the article says they want to do -- after all the WGA has only 11k members.

But let's just take accountants -- there are 1.4 million according to the BLS. Realistically there's just no amount of coordination that will stop a significant portion of those who want to from WFH. And that's just one type of WFH-friendly white collar job.

Open-source can be deeply rewarding and some people really pour themselves into it. I think assessing one's level of investment falls to each contributor themselves, and I wouldn't condescend to tell a stranger that they've made the wrong decision about that.

That said, a lot of people in the Nix community go above and beyond what could reasonably be asked of them by others, and it probably does put them at risk of problems including burnout. I'd be interested in research into emotional well-being and F/OSS involvement in general, because it could be really valuable in informing strategies for building F/OSS sustainably and even personal advice for staying balanced.

At the individual level, though, concern about this kind of thing is best left to people who don't need to look at metrics related to VCS activity to tell if someone is taking a hobby (or job) too far— trusted, close relations: family members, old friends, life partners, dear neighbors, etc.
> single language applications are single build applications

I don't know your background but most teams don't view "single language" as an advantage over other options. People choose a certain language because of internal infrastructure, libraries/ecosystem, performance, and whether it is the best suited for a project etc, rarely because "we use that language for backend so we should also use it for frontend" or vice versa
Well. At least it wasn't a slow painful death from Polonium or Novichok.

Building Your Front-End with Intention by Chad Stewart [video]
Precision: Priogozhin is not yet confirmed dead, he and Utkin(the commander of Wagner, a.k.a code name Wagner) were among the passengers on the list but no bodies identified yet.

There is a second Wagner plane(RA02748) currently circling around Moscow.

There are also unconfirmed videos already appearing of the fall, looks like anti-aircraft missiles.
Oh yeah, totally ready for prime time, hyper realistic, SFW filter works great, not at all hallucinations /massive_sarcasm

We still have a variety of tasty apples here in France (don't know about their nutritional worth, though). But what totally kills me is seeing apples being hauled in all the way from freaking Chile, while the same variety is in season locally.
Very well explained
I think pretty much everyone who is familiar with the backstory here knew this was coming in some form. I'm honestly surprised it took this long for him to have a tragic accident involving anti aircraft missiles, a bomb, sabotage, or something similar.

I guess the only question left is if he was really on the plane or is faking his death to avoid possible repercussions. Guy has to have a lot of money and safe houses etc to hide in.
...In defense of boilerplate, think about what you're actually doing.

You're plumbing a pipe of tangible meaning through networks of functions as implemented in electronic signaling devices.

Creating and propagating that significance takes work. Embrace the boilerplate. Also acknowledge that every no-code tool has about a gazillion engineer hours lying in wait because what you want to do is hidden and sieved through somebody else's abstractions.
The only surprise for me is that it took two months since the attempted coup.
Not OP, but… the article title (correctly for this purpose) uses standard quote characters, so you could presumably copypasta the attribute straight from the title into HTML. The title as currently posted on HN uses curly quotes, so copypasta from there would produce invalid HTML. It’s a weird nitpick, for sure! Approximately nobody is going to copypasta straight from a substring of an HN title/link into HTML, of course. But it is technically both correct and pertinent.
Have you ever tried unpacking files with special characters from zip? Like umlauts, etc? Especially between different machines. It produces broken file names.

Zip doesn't store access rights, unlike tar. That's why tar gzip is so popular on Linux.
It's a bag of diamonds... there might be 50 $1k diamonds in there.

And one 1k diamond can probably be exchanged for 50 packs of cigarettes...

They were also impressive for me, having moved here; I’ve heard iDeal should become a EU-wide thing.

I added in my original post links to wikipedia, if you want more details. The section “criticism” is quite funny: it works like cash money (no guarantees from the bank if you get scammed, it’s not a credit card), and there might be some downtime at some point (1 day/year in total).
I'll have to try this! I have reflux or heartburn daily if I don't do things right. A few things help me.

1) Don't have an empty stomach. My stomach goes crazy.
2) Don't overeat. Large portions cause it nearly every time.
3) Don't eat anything within 2 hours of bed time.

So, basically, if I eat small meals often I am usually fine. And then there are trigger foods like too much coffee and alcohol and red sauces, and garlic and other things that cause indigestion.
Hello, Jürgen.
No wonder the birth rate has been dropping.
"Status page" corporate language.

Contrast that with all the intensifiers used when describing the circumstances. It's not vibrations from motorcycle engines causing it, it's "high amplitude" vibrations from "high power" engines.

All completely non qualified as well. What's high power? As high as you can imagine for marketing purposes, but as low as Apple wants it to be for warranty claims.
It's interesting you say that, because since I had a camera shoved down my throat two years ago I haven't had symptoms until last week (I was ~35km into a 40km bike ride and it was a VERY sudden onset during a climb).

I'll talk to my GP this week when I see him.

It's not just about financial costs, it's also the physical space limitations.

Cars generally can only fit 3 carseats. Regardless of equipment costs, that makes it infeasible for parents to have a 4th child. They wouldn't be able to go anywhere.

This by itself has prevented thousands of births.

I've known people for whom this was a major factor in a decision to not have another child. They are always the most thoughtful, low time preference people whose kids would benefit society the most.
So what warnings should’ve been heeded differently? Is it the “we’re running out of water” warning that’s been going on for years or just the “we actually need to use a bunch of water to put out fires” warning?

Obviously we should use water to save lives and there were errors there, but I’m 100% confident that the question of whether we can use water to fight fires didn’t come up for no reason.
Easy: he thought the coup would be the action with the highest chance of success at the point when he had committed himself to going ahead with it.

He was going to lose control of Wagner if the coup didn't succeed, whether or not he tried. So no surprise he made that attempt. You don't get to where he did in life without being bold, taking risks, and being lucky. And it's likely that at the point where he had already committed himself to the coup, it looked more likely to succeed than it does now with the benefit of hindsight.

As for why he kept hanging around Russia... where else is he going to go? He was a wanted man everywhere. Wanted by both the civilized world, and Russia. There are no good options in that circumstance.
Also, there is knowing the limits of the governments capabilities, and accentuating it.

The Cajun Navy started out with someone's great aunt rounding up some bass boats in the swamp to send to New Orleans after Katrina. It now has dispatchers on call (which takes pressure off of the 911 system) collecting needs, channeling volunteers where rescues are needed, and piping emergencies to 911. Also, has built expertise around post-disaster rebuilding - CNGF has boots on the ground in Maui.
While I appreciate your engagement with the topic, I must point out that the notion that we can 'tackle both' is a dangerously simplistic perspective. The resources—both financial and intellectual—that are poured into space exploration are not infinite and come at the expense of urgent, life-saving initiatives here on Earth. To say it's 'widely known' only underscores the normalization of this skewed prioritization. We're not living in a utopia where all problems can be solved simultaneously; we're in a world where choices have consequences. The urgency of our Earth-bound crises doesn't afford us the luxury of romanticizing space exploration as if it's without trade-offs.
... that is one thing you could do, if you were currently trying to convince Wagner mercenaries to join Russian MoD-controlled "PMCs" to replenish forces.

"Only in Russia" is become cliché at this point.

The Commodore 64 also lacked TCP/IP. What's important is that programs doing a wide variety tasks could be programmed. Companies can and do lock down general purpose computing devices all the time, we don't need the manufacturer to decide beforehand.
Key word: “many applications”, and I would be more specific to say many CRUD applications, but definitely not all web applications, there are so many cases that SSR is the worst choice, in my field, we do robotics/IoT/edge computing/etc., at the edge, most likely you will have an SBC with not so much resources (or resources you would like to save and use for edge computing like computer vision and such) to use to prerender a webUI for the user, one of the platforms I built it uses Cesium and WASM and the same time to control a swarm of drones, each SBC in there (and server) does the minimum load to serve some API requests while saving the rest for video/vision processing, while shouldering the rest to user’s machine. SSR might make sense for data centers building your average CRUD webapp but definitely not all.
Yes, and that gets really "interesting" when you don't have a stable address of residence (e.g. because you are traveling for an extended period of time, possibly in-and-out of the country).

In some cases, you can get basically locked out of all essential services, including bank account closures, not being able to make payments (especially now with these laws), etc.

Real fun!
One line that demonstrates the agony and the ecstasy of simplicity: $ man ls | grep "\-\w," | wc -l

On the one hand, beautiful, recursive composability of small, universal tools.

On the other hand, the tool we're introspecting is 'ls'. If we truly valued simplicity, ls would have no flags - you would pass its output to awk to extract the data you want.

Just as long as you avoid the trick where you complete the POC, and then your manager moves you onto something else and reassigns a junior to productionize the POC.
I think it's interesting that they killed 9 other people too. Not very clean. Wouldn't they have had many opportunities to kill just him in the past?

He supposedly made a media appearance just the other day. Could that have been the reason they went with this rush job of a murder?
I agree, although I don't think it's because they're "free".
If it was just a matter of flops then AI would already be driving cars and making door to door food deliveries. The problem is neither the energy expenditure nor the compute capacity. No one knows what the proper architecture should be for general purpose intelligence assistants so everyone has to fine-tune the existing models on their specialized use cases and even then it's a hit or miss depending on how much training data you have available.

No one currently has any ideas on how to deploy auto-adaptive ML software that continuously adapts to new data so the industry has settled on deploying snapshots and then hoping the data set that was used for the snapshot is going to be good enough for most use cases. It seems to work well enough for now and since Facebook has decided to open source most of their work someone in the open source community might figure out how to continously update these models without deterioration in output quality.
ML for how to direct implantation, or the signals it produced?
Fantastic job chfritz!

I have watched so many companies struggle with the 'middle-ware' part. Everyone is trying to hire WebRTC/video devs and just not enough to support all these companies. I can't wait to see the next generation of devices be powered by this :)

I don't agree.
Go's native html/template and even pongo2 or quicktemplate etc have a big problem when it comes to conditional fragments of some text.

It's messy and you end up writing helper functions for pretty much everything.

I dislike graphql because it's too mich overhead.
RESTful is not good enough, only good for admin UI CRUD.

I moved to json rpc calls.
So I can have the best of both worlds.

However what I'd really like to have is a proper SSR component framework that is interactive or rather reactive.
> Not every house needs triple-pane windows and R25 insulation in the walls

Yes they do. Cooling is a large energy cost. Besides, you end up with that much space in your walls anyway just because for material strength reasons you need wide walls.

> sitting on a 8-ft deep basement

A basement is a line item that can be added or deleted at will. If you don't have stairs to the basement you still need that space except it gets a floor and is marked tornado shelter.

They still build the same roof pitches so rain runs off.

Not really because much of house design that matters is about structural matters where thickness matters. Other parts are about standard parts, you can buy a 2x4 off the self. While 2x3s exists, they cost more than a 2x4 and are generally lower quality.
