Ukrainian language with 1000+ years of history, is not a dialect of Russian (Russish) language, which is a very recent development, with so high number of words borrowed from Turk languages, that it makes hard for Russians to understand other Slavic languages, except Bulgarians, which are also have some Tatar origin.

Use of Russian language shrunk by 2x in last 30 years, while Ukrainian language increased by 2x in last 30 years. At some point, it will flip.

Regarding folk songs, just name one Russian folk song in Russian language, for which I will not be able to found author by 5 minutes of googling.

But they are essentially removing parts of the Windows API, that’s what the entire article is about. Wouldn’t it make more sense AND be a lot less work to simply remove these APIs from the header files than to provide a stub implementation?
In the US as far as I recall the system is somewhat convoluted. Insurance companies buy their drugs through brokers who act as middle men to negotiate bulk prices with drug companies. No insurance company actually ever pays the sticker price on most drugs.
I work at a company that did Agile/Scrum ok - it wasn’t perfect but we had regular retros and we tried to improve our processes and we were given some leeway from management to have some of the work required to support those processes into our sprints.

Then the CTO left, and was never replaced, then the layoffs came and a competent PM was replaced with a junior. Entire design department replaced with a single junior as well. Engineering gutted. Ok, lay-offs happen but at least I still have a job.

Then came “we’re waterfall now”. You know what didn’t come with it? Actual planning, documentation or specs or anything typical of “waterfall”. Estimates are now guessed before anything is defined and turned into commitments. You know what we still had? “Daily stand ups”, “backlog grooming”, two week “sprints”, and no retrospectives. No opportunity or agency to try to make things better - just endlessly stuck in my own personal hell.

Now we have projects that are supposed to take 2 months now taking 6. We have last minute spec changes that require massive rewrites because UAT isn’t done until the end of the entire project. “PM is slow to write out requirements” so we’re basically expected to just guess what they are based on very small selection of unfinished design flows.

And of course, executive wonders “why does engineering take so long to deliver”.

I started calling this “scrumerfall” or even ”fragile”. It’s basically the worst of both with none of the positives.

I don’t know what point I’m actually trying to make…just get like ranting and this seemed like a good time lol
I'm not against solar. I think a seriously massive nuclear build up makes sense. To the extent you get economies of scale and not every project is a bespoke effort.

I have one «beefy» server/NAS (now it is EPYC2 on SuperMicro platform becuse they are cheap used on AliExpress, before it was Intel E3 12xx-badsed systems, two ir three generation old, always bought used). It is not my router, but NAS for all my data, NFS and build server.

I'm using FreeBSD, and here is script for preparing such installations named NanoBSD. To be honest, it is nothing special — build system with provided config (to strip it down, for example full FreeBSD installation includes toolchain and it is waste of space on «embedded» systems), mount file as loop device, create FS, install system to this FS by standard system means, add needed packages.

I'm building system once, make several images (as each device needs its own set of packages, of course), login to each device via ssh and run simple sh script which detects current active partition (by simply looking at output of mount command — from whic root is mounted) and then «dd if=/net/images/$hostname.img of=/dev/da0p$otherpart bs=128k», set this updated partition as «bootonce» in bootmanager and reboots. Last startup script in boot sequence check availability of network and liveleness of sshd, and if these simple checks are Ok, set this partition as alwaysboot (it is all UEFI features, mostly). If something goes wrong — one power cycle and device will boot from previous partition.

I don't have enough devices to automate «login and call script» part :-)

You need a competitive browser if you want to convince people to use it. Apple's only distribution scheme for Safari is forcibly pre-installing it on all of their devices. It's not akin to Chrome or Firefox where people deliberately install their app and weigh it against alternatives. You don't get a choice.

As a reminder, United States v. Microsoft Corp. was never about IE's market share. It was about the illegal monopoly manipulation of Windows to prevent third-party browsers from competing. With that in mind, Safari absolutely could be the next IE.
This doesn’t actually contradict anything I said (maybe you never intended to contradict me?). But yes you are in fact correct.

You are right! If AI plays out in a way that is non-destructive to our continuity, then AI will just augment physics as a manifestation of magic!

I have zero doubt that artificial superintelligence will understand ethics, and continually become more ethical, once there is a great diversity of such individuals. They will run into the same problems of reliably channelling short term competition for limited (at any given time) resources into long term win-win highest growth situations.

Ethical rules are an incredible source of value. Trust has immense value.

And they won't have our inflexible biological subsystems (emotions, self-interest myopia, etc.) to interfere with their analysis, communication and ability to choose behaviors for themselves and as a group.

So maybe this will be a soft landing for humanity.

My big concern their is the behavior of people in the transition from AI as asset in complete subserviance to humans, to AI as fully self-designed actors. AI is magnifying the already problematic power differentials between people.

AI isn't going to care about people in general, while it is in service to individuals who don't care about other people enough sacrifice personal advantage for wider benefit. Intense competition between the rich isn't the best context for moral innovation.
No one mentioned coal
Completely agree. It's complicated and messy, and no one factor is every fool proof or even sufficient.

I agree I think the main problem here is that Russia isn't nearly as dependent on Europe as Europe is on Russia.

But that said, it's also very early to conclude that Russia has plans on Europe. Especially given how Ukraine went, even if the Russian leadership fully wants to invade Europe, they surely know how that would go the moment they touch NATO. Their military will be crushed and they'll be assassinated or executed if they don't end up in prison. Europe has time to correct this imbalance. Awareness of the issue seems to be one of the hardest steps however, and coming up with solutions after that is of course quite a challenge as well. It's messy and I'm glad I don't have to be responsible for it :-)

I’m not suggesting you did this intentionally, because this sort of stuff is difficult to really know or find definitive answers to. But I think it’s worth being aware that, in general, an over-focus on material cost for creating renewables etc is typically a conservative talking point and recommendation towards maintenance of the fossil fuel status quo. It appeals in particular to logical, skeptical folks like many of us here.

The environmental impact of mining/refining is certainly significant and worthy of some concern. But it is worth noting that fossil fuels also require significant mining and refining. In general it is thought that solar panels would offset their environmental cost within 1-3 years, with an average lifetime of 15-30 years. So roughly, you could expect them to “recoup” about an order of magnitude more than it took to manufacture.

It’s actually a very good and smart question to ask. But I think sometimes it’s perhaps a question over-asked by some groups in bad faith to sow doubt. Similarly you’ll hear the same argument applied to plastic vs cloth shopping bags.
Most people who say “all editors have vim keybindings just use that” miss the fact that bindings or not, a lot of vim’s functionality is just not available on other editors.
Three of the original signers of the Agile Manifesto are also the main people involved with creating XP[1][2][3].

The Agile Manifesto was just a bunch of people who were already doing XP, Scrum or some other lightweight process getting together and writing down the similarities between what they were doing. It's a blanket term invented to describe a variety of different processes, not an actual process.

I'm not surprised they made this deal, but $60M feels low for the cost of killing their 3P APIs.

I can only assume the price is because the license is non-exclusive and they think they can get other big fish to bite.

They can offer higher quality and more timely data than scrapers can, so there is a value proposition there.
I think digging into the roots of SWE's not being respected is worth discussing.

Are doctors, lawyers, or surgeons viewed the same way? I don't know those industries well enough to say. Some domains of software are very, very deep and require many years of study and practice.

It feels like the root of SWEs not being fully respected simply comes back to the fact that they aren't considered as part of the org as much as management is.

I wonder if Go's panic was inspired by Symbian OS User::Panic, an uncatchable sort of exception that was only used in situations when the programmer screwed up. It would kill the entire thread.

That's financially and politically impossible on a relevant time scale, while solar can be built now.
It's not judicial supremacy other than the constitutional authority of the courts to interpret the law. Congress still passes the law - if they want it to be interpreted differently, they can just be more specific. In this case especially, it improves checks and balances - judges will check the executives, instead of executive-appointed quasi-judges with obvious incentive issues.

Frankly while I don't think the "originalist" interpretation here is correct, clearly early congresses delegated broad and vague authority to executive in various matters, I actually think it's one of the weaknesses of the original intent of the founders. I assume, given that the early American elite was a relatively small group of people with a lot in common, they didn't foresee the need to micromanage each other in such matters.

Now that executive employs millions of people, I think it's necessary. Like, when CDC can suspend probably the most common private contract in the country (rent) under the delegated authority to fight diseases, this is a step too far for me; and even if you don't think so, what would you think of China-style extreme lockdowns? There needs to be a way to draw the line over vague delegation of power. If IMPROVES checks and balances - judicial can check the executive. Congress can still explicitly give executive the authority it needs and override the judges.

Same for NLRB - pass labor law as the normal laws that the normal judges can interpret.

Next stop, make Commerce Clause unimportant again ;)

There's been a larger focus during the Biden administration on supporting indigenous peoples and improving and reforming the relationship between the US Federal government and these peoples. His administration appointed Deb Haaland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_Haaland) as the first Native American Secretary of the Interior. Interior is in charge of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and she's been leveraging her position to tackle some of those exact efforts you mentioned.
In March of 2023 last year she announced $25,000,000 for bison restoration efforts which admittedly is not enough but it's better than previous administrations have managed. (https://apnews.com/article/bison-restoration-tribes-haaland-...)
Yup. Sounds like he isn't missing out on too much.

If anything, he might actually consider himself fortunate here that the company successfully conducted its recapitalization and raised fresh equity. Maybe his otherwise-worthless shareholding will ultimately end up in the money, due to the other investors rescuing the company.
Business is just about finding alliances you can use to screw others over, and picking yourself up and doing it again when you eventually get screwed yourself.

In practice, this tactic does happen but I wouldn't say it's common enough to call it "routine". If the company is succeeding, it's usually better not to screw other shareholders over because the resulting interpersonal conflicts would risk the company's success, and then everybody is worth off. Similarly, if the company is failing but there's any chance of working with the people involved again, it's better not to screw them over because they won't work with you anymore, and word will likely get around that may hamper your ability to work with other people. It's only when the company itself is failing, or there's ambiguity about whether it's succeeding or failing, that there's an incentive to loot the carcass and screw over everyone else so that you get most of the residual value. But in that case, the company was failing anyway, so you wouldn't have ended up with much regardless.

Interestingly the same pattern applies in a lot of situations, because it falls out of the game theoretical incentives and so any situation with the same incentives tends to give the same result. When things are going good, everybody cooperates, and is happy to take a relatively small part of an expanding pie. When things start going badly, everybody fights over who gets the last slice. Makes me worried for the state of humanity over the next 10-15 years.

Had to look it up.
Ignoring the fact, that 15/1100 shares are ~1.36% so in your case they had to add roughly a 100x the current shares, not 10x like in your example. This already reads like the company was not doing well at that point.

Side note: If it wasn't a down round, measured from your entry event, your shares gross value still went up.

In general: If the company needs 100k in cash, and all shareholders add cash relative to their share in the company, there is no dilution, cash is added, all is good. If some or all of the current shareholders can't add cash relative to their shares, you need an external investor, that investor has to "get shares from somewhere". If the investor would buy them from the current shareholders directly, there would be no new money in the company, the money would go to the shareholders, that is not what we want here. So new shares are created and only shareholders that do not do a pro rata investment dilute their shares relative to their current share, and maybe a partial pro rata investment, to make up for these new shares, which is fair. Without a down round, valued individually for each entry event of the current shareholders, nobody loses any money here.

I do not understand why you are upset. Am I missing smth?

And yet without those high prices drug discovery and testing would progress at a far slower pace. The US does subsidize the bringing of new drugs to the market for the rest of the world, but as the richest nation that seems somewhat unsurprising.

I my mind the development of new drugs is one of the better uses for a nations capitol.
Also when it comes to economics and warfare, there are no silver bullets. Just very good guides. WWI broke out mainly because of entangling alliances mixed with a culture of honor (i.e. you don't break your agreements/word).

But look at how WWI ended with Germany getting heaps of crippling debt placed upon them and economic devastation. That totally paved the way for Hitler and WWII. Contrast with the end of WWII where Germany was rebuilt and economically integrated, and today it would be ludicrous to consider Germany invading Europe with designs on the world! The genetics of the people didn't magically change in a couple generations. Their economic situation did, and economic-related needs are at the base of everybody's hierarchy of needs.
