> I want you to go down the list of points in the Minsk II agreement and explain how Russia didn't make an absolute farce out of them

And I don't want to serve your attitude and play a Russel's teapot guessing game.

I am not going to try and guess counter-arguments to something you can't even properly put in words, since it makes it easier for you to avoid thinking about it too much.

> And what's more they repeatedly engaged in massive cyber attacks against Ukraine - actual destructive attacks intended to shut down their power grid and destroy banking data amongst other things.

Poor banking data. Sucks to suck when you happen do be the one on hacktivist's receiving end, doesn't it? Kyiv is a willing and a nasty belligerent, not a victim. Try hosting and securing something in Russia and see just how much of a pain in the ass you'll get.

I know of enough literal CTOs getting so pissed about it, that they engaged in hacktivism themselves just to make a point. Obviously in each case it only made things worse and generated more mutual hatred.

And don't get me started on all those personal data repositories hacks and scamming campaigns.

> given that you think it was Ukraine doing all of the violations. Hint: it was not

You should read what was actually written. Not what you've imagined.

> There are even Russian documentaries about the war where, during the supposed ceasefire, they filmed themselves crossing over to Ukrainian trenches at night to bury mines in them.

There are documented cases of Kyiv engaging in airstrikes on Donetsk and then claiming those were merely air conditioners exploding. This lasted until Donetsk rebels started shooting down aircrafts, followed by the tragedy with the civilian plane.

Your argument boils down to "things happening during a steaming barely frozen conflict - bad". Well of-f-ing-course they are. That's why you have to tackle core issues, otherwise good luck treating symptoms by trying to contain thousands of motivated individuals each with their own petty vengeance and a tragic story behind it.

Kyiv literally didn't do shit to actually resolve it: they didn't do amnesty; they didn't do the constitutional reform; they were demanding Donetsk to surrender and give up all the leverage and a chance for defense BEFORE holding elections, denying Steinmeier formula and elections under OSCE observers.

All Kyiv did is complain how the sustainable peace didn't just appear from the thin air, without actually doing anything substantial to get there. Stupid war is literally the only possible thing one could achieve with that kind of policy.
My favorite thing about Ada is how it uses modules ("packages") for encapsulation and not classes. This separates it from a lot of other languages with object-oriented programming by allowing you to split up and expose externally visible behavior in modules and submodules without making type internals visible, but allowing other elements in the implementation side of the module and submodules to look inside.

No, but during the pandemic there were a ridiculous number of dubious acquisitions and somewhat-inexplicable business deals that really need to be investigated.
Very good point, context is important.

good lord is this what modern microservices are like?

How is it better have service A request to a proxy, which requests to another proxy, which requests to service B? I get the security benefits of that, but the network architecture is boggling. How many PBs of data are sent each day for what could be a monolithic service?

Actually, to the end — companies that embrace microservices, which see the value in them. How do they manage network traffic for these kinds of K8s setups at scale? Surely they’re not using REST and HTTP. Is it as simple as protobufs over HTTP? Quic? Something else?

Edit: lots of great discussion below but I really meant how do they manage network TRAFFIC, not microservices in general :)

Hey everyone! I am Shashank, a data, cloud and backend engineer with 8 years of experience. Currently, I am working at an Ad Tech security company where I specialise in building backend APIs, ETL pipelines, working on security tools, overhauling our architecture and deployment processes, and managing a small team on the enterprise vertical. Prior to this, I was a founding engineer and data engineer at a DeFI based music startup, where I single-handedly built the entire backend & data infrastructure, frontend dashboards, analytics and reporting system and most of the company's products. I also built the entire payments platform that empowered music artists by using Stripe Treasury to land actual USD payments in their bank accounts and led the engineering team to success.

Throughout my 8-year career, I have gained extensive experience in delivering products from concept to launch, designing architecture, product & infrastructure planning, and managing small teams.

I have been working fully remotely for New York based companies since the past 5 years from India and Europe(as a digital nomad). I am open to fully remote roles as well as onsite/hybrid if visa sponsorship is available.

This is in fact how PWAs work on iOS. They do not run in Safari at all, but in a special runtime called Web.app, which is coded to use WebKit. Safari doesn’t have the ability to do the things the PWA runtime can do. Letting other browsers “run PWAs” would not be a matter of exposing an existing private API, it would require creating a a brand new plugin API for Web.app that would allow inserting other browser engines into it.
How did you come across this? Lately I’m really interested in how people find their inputs..

You couldn't just read the document describing what is affected by it? https://support.apple.com/en-us/105120
>Nobody forced Apple to do that. That alone is solid material fact, blowing away hypothetical claims of evil intent.

Apple has been actively using the existence of PWA's as an argument in court that it's App Store does not have a monopoly on iOS app distribution. So, yes... It's likely Apple want's PWA's to exist on iOS.

It's also very likely (given their financial incentives) that they don't want them to be a very good experience.
I’ve heard similar things before, the good ones know they can easily switch jobs so they leave, making it a brain drain that is purely from bad management decisions.
Can this line of thought be extended to MDF board, which I have a revealed preference for? (revealed preference == I notice that I keep choosing to use MDF board in my projects, regardless of my opinions on wood)

I get from this essay how the marginal user with 0 desire for complexity can lead to a more simple standard interface (by the way, the permanent content overlapping "see less" is poor UI even when I want to create my filters - it's a chore, I don't want to be reminded of that all the time, that's also excessive for education).

The data over the wire is the effect of having micro services and has little to do with service meshes. If anything, a service mesh could help by transparently enabling compression or upgrading to h3 without having to bake that in every app. Also, from a networking perspective, the proxies are hosted next to the instances so there is no difference there.

We run 1800 services in our mesh. Most of them rest/http, a select few gRPC and graphql. We even have some soap/http services in it.

I am actually intrigued to had never encountered this term when reading Sagan or Hawking or Dawkins - thank you.
The "lazy borrowing" was just a personal mental model, not any claim about how things are implemented under the hood. That said, I think all your examples are hinging on very specific behavior from the `Deref` and `DerefMut` traits that might not apply generally.

Looking at the generating MIR output[0] from your second example changed to use the deref syntax from the first one, it seems like the value of `mut1` is silently getting downgraded to `&[&str]` under the hood, presumably due to the fact that the rules for `Deref`[1] and `DerefMut`[1] allow the compiler to liberally substitute dereferences with calls to those trait methods, which crucially allows the compiler to change the result of dereferencing `&mut` to return a shared reference. This is actually almost exactly what was being suggested in the sibling comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39557697.

Eh. Given their recent behaviour, they seem to be indistinguishable from a for-profit company with trade secret technology.

That doesn’t seem aligned with their articles of incorporation at all. If “when applicable” is wide enough to drive a profit-maximising bus through, they’re not a not-for-profit. And in that case, why bother with the AOI?

The articles of incorporation aren’t a contract. I don’t know enough law to be able to guess how it’ll be interpreted in court, but intuitively Elon seems to have a point. If you want to take the AOI seriously, Sam Altman’s OpenAI doesn’t pass the pub test.

The trick is to know which code you want to maintain yourself and which stuff you want to get off the shelf. Going the off the shelf way, also means being stateless and using distributed transactions with all their pitfalls (eventual consistency, fire and forget, ...).

Good architects will know how and when to do what E.g. start with a modulith instead of a monolith, to ease refactoring into micro-services once user count goes through the roof and vertical scaling won't do it any more.
It's not science fiction, it's the first step of science itself.

You can't justify doing any kind of basic research without some sort of theory or question or simple academic interest. Even basic undirected research isn't utterly random. Someone has to have some sort of idea they want to investigate. "Is it possible that there might be other environments similar enough to our own that they might be inhabited, or habitable, by anything, not necessarily us nor excluding us?" is no more or less a basis for science than say documenting the funny structure of the powder/scales on butterfly wings, initially just because someone finds it interesting, but of course everything, including that, ends up being useful and valuable sooner or later.

It IS fun to think about, but this is not a crime, or even merely silly or pointless, and wasn't at any time let alone "with todays technology".
