>That's the problem though - having your own special definition of "defensive actions" makes the whole sentence meaningless.

To suggest going on an offensive is not an offensive is ridiculous. Ukraine has been talking about a spring offensive for months. Last I checked a spring offensive is an offensive not a defensive.

You can't seem to separate a defensive war with offensive actions within the war. Not all actions within a defensive war are defense. I agree with you that the distinction in this case is arbitrary and dumb. Musk at least claims it is not. The Ukrainians agreed to Musk's distinction so they should keep their word or renegotiate with him.

>The US Government has been very clear that they don't condone Ukrainians using NATO-supplied weapons to make attacks into Russia. That's a common-sense definition of "offensive" - doing something to attack the opponent on "their side".

To be clear, since you are seemingly assuming a massive amount about my positions, I fully agree with you here. I am just trying to explain what position Musk is taking. I think taking back the land you lost is fine and still part of an overall defensive war. It is an offensive action, but part of an overall defensive war.

>But this whole thing was about Crimea. Crimea is part of Ukraine, despite what Russians and Putin's fanboys have spouted for the last 9 years.

OK? Not sure your point. Going on an offensive to recapture the land you lost is still an offensive.

>This phrase gets used so much by one crowd, it's almost like you're wearing a red MAGA cap.

>The idea of course is genius. Make people feel bad for standing up for what they believe in, by guilting them into believing that it's better to support insurrectionists, racists, homophobes, etc - whatever shit-bird ideals the American Right has put on display that day, if you argue that they're a shit-bird, the instant response is "this is dividing us".

You need to touch grass and get off the internet for a month. Please go outside and talk to the average person. And no I'm not talking about some San Franciscans, but normal and average everyday people. Most people are absolutely tired of all of this bickering. They just want people to get along and don't give a shit about all this. The average person would be sick if they saw you basically accusing me of being a racist and a homophobe even though I said nothing of the sort. You are destroying this country with your stupid shit.
If AWS actually tried to abuse its power, it would really damage the tech industry. Tech companies would see the risk and start treating the cloud as rented machines (EC2), and stop realizing all the benefits of their provider managing a complex system on their behalf.

If I were AWS, I'd willingly write into contracts that costs can go up no faster than the PPI + 5%, barring some sort of force majeure. Hardware gets cheaper, so I'd expect costs to come down, but this essentially "we're not going to screw you" clause.
And every organization in the EU has had to deal with the fact that this is now law, and had to think what they needed to change to comply with it. All companies, but also e.g. tiny volunteer run organisations (my local scouts group asks for health insurance, medical information, allergies etc of the kids again and again for every camp they go on because they don't keep the forms around anymore for the next one like they used to) .

It's probably different for organisations coming from outside the EU who get EU customers over the Internet.
I feel like we have an interesting tragedy of the commons situation of software engineering.

On the one hand, storing positions on JSON is quick to implement, easy to understand, easy to read, easy to hack on, and junior engineers and the people who have to deal with your code later will be able to pick it up and run with it easily.

On the other hand, when just about everyone is making this same ease-of-use/performance tradeoff, software bloat happens. Our computers are so much faster and beefier, but we never actually seem to be able to enjoy the benefits of that, in part because software engineers keep optimizing for quick and easy.

Maybe we shouldn't dogmatically reach for the easy no-nonsense solution every time, and instead consider whether maybe a little nonsense might, over time, save people a lot of time.

> Translation, never pay up front for anything that requires service at a future date.

Would you say more?

For things like hotels in popular destinations, it lets me sleep at night to put down a deposit up front, I feel like it incentivizes the hotel to hold my room. Knowing the room is better secured is more important to me than money.

Now with Booking, I’ve never had them ask for a deposit. They either have me pay at the hotel, or they run my card after the “free to cancel” period expires (which is always very generous, expiring from 5 days to 1 day before my stay). This doesn’t help me sleep at night, when making bookings a month or more out, I worry that I’ll be cancelled on or be offered a lesser room than the one I booked. Fortunately I’ve only had good experiences with Booking so far, but once I have my first bad experience, I will switch to booking direct or with another platform that lets me put down a deposit up front.
Isn't this very article about directly running GlassFish from Java SE?

You could also say btw that GlassFish doesn't need any WebSphere or JBoss. Or you could say that WebSphere doesn't need a JBoss or GlassFish.

Also, WebSphere is legacy within IBM. Their new and much much better server for some time is called Open Liberty. It uses some components from WebSphere, but in a highly modularised way, and the overal runtime is totally different.

Bishops move on the diagonal and so can only stay on squares of their original color; you could thus encode the positions of the 4 bishops with 5 bits each instead of 6 each, saving a total of 4 bits, but this would preclude the use of the "store our/their king's location" hack to encode things. But you can encode bishop positions as a 4-digit base-33 number (digits 0..31 indicate the square, digit 32 is captured), which can be stored in binary as a 21-bit number. Net savings ~3 bits.

The "no two pieces on the same square" constraint could similarly be used more aggressively.
The upper bound on the number of legal chess positions given in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_number is 8.7 * 10^45, which gives a lower bound of ln(8.7 * 10^45) = ~106 bits or 14 bytes.

Except that really is what happens. If the prices of your inputs increase, then you have to raise the prices of your goods. And then companies that use your goods isn't puts have to raise their prices, and so on.

In terms of labor and wages, it's called a wage price spiral: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage-price_spiral

Similar dynamics exist for physical goods.
That data backs up what I am saying though. The national average means nothing, even state averages means nothing if where you are looking for housing, the vacancies are either not high enough to facilitate moving people around or are in conditions or floor plans that do not fit your needs. Not every vacant unit of housing is equally fungible.

California having one of the lowest vacancy rates and one of the highest median housing rates means there potentially needs to be a much higher rate of vacant units to lower housing prices if they are as inversely related as you describe.

One angle that makes it interesting is that the very existence of the corporation is determined by the decision of the lawmakers. The sovereign state is the full authority on that matter, and by its right, through the legal process, can change any aspect of it.

It rather looks like it depends on who makes the product. One thing to look at is who has established trust and (so far) maintained that trust. For example, AWS has said that their products will get cheaper over time and that they wont deprecate any. The fact that they've managed to do that for 15 years or so means they have a built a lot of trust - which is itself an investment that they would be foolish (financially damaged by) a decision to break that trust.

Meanwhile, Google has firmly established that they will destroy any product at any time, and you would be insane to build a business on their products.

Adobe and Microsoft make meh products that dominate industries, and you are at their whim, and look, these two companies provide all your examples. (And to be fair, SourceSafe went away because it was not reliable and any sane business paying for a VCS switched to perforce before eventually moving to git like everyone else).

They really don’t at this point. Unreal has reached a point where it’s a better choice than Unity for nearly every single project. There’s still these pervasive beliefs that Unity is better for 2D or better for small teams, and it just isn’t true.

The one exception is junk mobile games, and even then I think Unreal is a completely reasonable choice.

Unity has been well and truly left behind with the gap widening every day and they know it.

Their coexistence is a legacy of a time where Unreal had not widened its viable use cases beyond triple A style 3D games, but that hasn’t been the case for years now. It’s just taking a whole for developers to catch up, and obviously there’s a lot of inertia with Unity projects and experience.

> you can propel a boat using a fan that is mounted on the boat itself

You mean like an air boat [1]? Using a sail just makes it less efficient when self powered.

It wouldn't work like that in space because there is no working fluid (air) against which to push - which is what the fan is doing, whether it's using a sail or not. Conservation of momentum would eliminate any propulsion if the propellant is recollected.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airboat
The steelman argument for this type of instruction is that employees routinely make legal pronouncements that they are not competent to make.

Imagine a scenario where a PM or engineer writes down in a memo something like "Option #1 is a breach of antitrust regulations" or "This violates EU privacy regulations". These are often well meaning statements but the reality is most (all?) of the time these people have no idea what they are talking about (which EU privacy regulation? what are the elements of the antitrust law and how does the action implicate each one? etc).

However, a statement like this is highly prejudicial to a court as it indicates fore-knowledge of wrongdoing especially if it is made by someone fairly senior in the organization (eg middle management and higher).

The better option is to pose the assertion as a question directed to your lawyer. This has the benefit of (a) attorney client privilege so the document cannot be discovered in court and, more importantly, (b) getting someone who has the relevant expertise to weigh in on whether what you think is in fact true so you can base your decision making on facts and not random persons opinion of the law.

NB: Imagine your legal team weighing in on whether you should design your architecture as a microservice or monolith. That is the equivalent level of hubris for a non-legal person weighing in on the legal implications of particular courses of action.

Cyclomatic complexity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity

Overhead:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_(computing)

Some programming language implementations and operating systems have more overhead for function calls, green threads, threads, and processes.

If each function call creates a new scope, and it's not a stackless language implementation, there's probably a hashmap/dict/object for each function call unless TCO Tail-Call Optimization has occurred.

Though,
function call overhead may be less important than Readability and Maintainability

The compiler or interpreter can in some cases minimize e.g. function call overhead with a second pass or "peephole optimization".
