I hate to break it for you but whatever you possessed whilst in Russia and you didn't take with you is gone. Your assets are gone; not yours anymore. You chose a new life here, in the EU, and... as you seem like a reasonable Russian, I'd like to welcome you to the EU and I want you to use your qualities contributing to (a free) society here.

The good news is, you're now living in a free society. You're paying taxes, you're probably following the law, too. You'll be fine here. Also, the Ruble will fall, it is just a question of when. Plus, you won't have to participate in a war economy making the useless war crap, or being cannon fodder. You made a brave, life changing decision, and part of that is saying farewell to your past.

Also, I don't know if it is possible for Russian people to use cryptocurrency but what I'd consider is go to China and buy some cryptocurrency there, then exfiltrate that to EU. Or something like that, I don't know. You'd be taxed either way (or have it not declared ...). The problem with stuff like this is, it can be used for good and bad. As such, you're collateral damage.
I am unsure. You can't (for example) fine tune over API. Is anything safe for Microsoft to fine tune really safe for Russia, CCP, etc. to fine tune? Open weight (which I think is more accurate term than open source here) models enable both much more actors and much more actions than the current status.

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience, I have served as both Senior Software Engineer II and Tech Lead, with a background in product management/business and experience as a Scrum Master. I excel in both startups and mid-level companies, with expertise in FinTech—interacting with banks, financial institutions, and blockchain—and MarTech, focusing on AI. My role has often centered on data engineering and the scaling of APIs and data pipelines. I am eager to explore new domains.

My career has predominantly been remote, working with diverse teams. I adapt easily to remote work and cross-cultural collaboration.

In startups, my greatest contribution comes after the MVP stage, where I focus on reducing technical debt and chaos to facilitate scaling. In mid-level companies, my strengths lie in rapidly delivering features, scaling, improving developer experience and processes, and leading engineering teams, ensuring effective communication with business stakeholders.
I just made up `blogger.com` as an example. I probably could have picked a better one. `blogspot.com` & its many TLD variations are on the list.

It looks like the repo where the list is maintained [1] is pretty active. YMMV, I'm not a maintainer or anything..

Because they don’t have to sell on the Mac App Store, they can use their own website. That has nothing to do with other browser engines being available.

And they still must pay the 100$ annually to sign and notarize.
Their argument is that the profit from the license assists in reaching the end result. E.g. giving them compute power.
We were talking about the white-collar workers as op brought up Microsoft workers to which I'm of the general opinion most swes/pms/others can quickly find a job especially with Tesla and Space X on their resume.

But yes modern corporations can be abusive, but whatever abuses you'll find at Elon's companies will likely also exist at Microsoft, doubt his companies are all that unique in that regard.

Previously responsible for migrating/refactoring a commercial building analytics/automation dashboard product from untyped legacy angular.js and React class components to React hooks/Redux/Typescript with a small EU startup. I'm based out of Vancouver, but happy to discuss different remote arrangements globally or hybrid in Canada. I enjoy working with colleagues, including juniors, on tricky problems, and making useful products. Currently not interested in moving anywhere else permanently.

There is absolutely no justification, including any part of this. You can apply this argument to unregulated breathing.

The only reason people don't know what to do with any potentially dangerous thing is when they are artificially prevented from exposure and learning the appropriate common sense the same way they have to for everything else in the world like nail clippers. You don't eat them and you don't cut your actual finger off, because somewhere along the way you played with one or if you are particularly dimwitted, someone showed you and you memorized a rule. The danger of a phone is no differrent than the danger of any other computer, or a toaster oven, or fucking breathing outside of a padded cell.

This line of argument is exceedingly offensive and should be ridiculed without a hint of mercy or acknowledgement.

A friend of mine lived in a deliberate-built uranium mining town about 30 km away from the Trans-Canada Highway. One day, it disconnected from the main grid for one reason or another, but still had power from a local hydroelectric dam.

The dam ran too slow, and everyone who relied on wired clocks ended up being 15 minutes behind in their day.
While I think this has promises, how can I convince my big corpo that uses slack to switch? Are there any slow rollout plan so people can try and see if they like it?
The first point you made is what myself and my team have struggled with. We have built simple apps for customers to upload a document to interact with and having the state be accurate to the document that the user uploaded was a major pain.

I've employed shadow banning on an online service deal with some deranged ban-evading individuals. It does help a lot. Granted, some of the more savvy users may figure out what you're doing, but you're often not dealing with the brightest minds. Given that your typical online service will maybe employ one moderator per 100k people, any reduction in workload is welcome.

> Shadowbanning is extremely hostile to users that have been mis-identified as spammers (which will happen)

It should always be a manual action and moderators should continue to see messages of shadowbanned users. You can always lift it in case of a mistake.

If you're going to have a free tier on your service and your service has any sort of interaction going on between users that could be degraded by spammers and the mentally insane, you're going to need shadowbanning. It's either shadowbanning or upping the hurdle to creating an account considerably.
At no point does the author of this article actually look at the is-number package, or discuss it's contents.

I don't know how to check if a Javascript object is a number. I've seen various "javascript == and === and types really weird" videos, so I think I'd be tempted to just use an 'is-number' package, to be really sure I'm getting it right.

So maybe the issue is that it's really hard to do basic things right in Javascript?

The answer to this in most other languages would be to design a "standard library", then everyone would import that package, and while they would have just as much code, it would come in less pieces.

It is very different. The outcome from “think of the children” is loss of privacy, while Apple’s actions means loss of software functionality. The former is more dangerous for society and freedom of thought.
Seeing as the "clickbait" headline is now gone, what was it before?

Yes, of course. The Afghan mujahideen were widely acclaimed even not that long ago from now because they were fighting the Russians. But this is a mass-market movie. It can't walk that close to the line in this day and age. It's going to clean up the dirty ends.
Exactly. We only need to double check.
It comes from a place of necessity, not want. In many product engineering teams, a solution doesn't exist until there is a UI experience to interact with it.

It allows data scientists to showcase the benefit of their model as a full experience.

I wouldn't use it for a large scale app. But tools like these are excellent for quickly mocking up a sample UI to sell an idea to your leadership. Too often leadership does not get the benefits of a ML/AI/DataScience driven feature if they can't see it inside something that resembles a UX.

Front end people don't get this pain, because their work has immediate visible impact. Backend work doesn't need to be sold because it naturally emerges out of the needs of supporting a certain number of users. ML work, lacks visibility just like backend but isn't as self evident as backend work.

Tools like streamlit fill that gap.

In Palestine 26.8% of the population is obese, 57%-67% of mothers in Gaza are obese or overweight, says Wikipedia, which cites a 2014 paper.

It doesn't mean the opposite, though.

For a formal linguistic example, see the concept of compound words. The meaning of the compound word does not equal the meaning of any of the constituent words. Often because the definition of the constituent words has drifted over time while usage of the compound word remained fixed.

You may unilaterally think that's wrong because you wish to impose a set of rules on language that others don't share, but that's not how meaning works. A sentence is just a string of bits. Meaning comes from a shared consensus about how to parse those bits into meaning.

Yes and no. I know maybe a half dozen people first or 2nd hand who have OD'd on the stuff. All were happy people with accidental deaths from tainted Mdma or miss calibrated doses.
For problem with mechanical interference, the old school trick was to stack a few DIP sockets together and plug into those. These would space the adapter up off of the reader. (We used to use extra sockets to save wear on the chip pins during the program/burn/crash/debug cycle.)
Eventually, you do find yourself caring, when you can’t find a single decent bit of construction lumber in the country.

Wood in Portugal is laughably bad - they cut down all of their domestic stock of commercially viable construction lumber decades ago, and the domestic lumber industry feeds pulp and pellets exclusively, as there’s not much other use for eucalyptus and soft, twisted white pine.

Where this then leaves one is with imports - and it appears lumber producing companies sell their waste to Portugal to be sold as the only product available - honestly, everything has huge bark inclusions, pith, rotted out chunks, knots that bisect the entire piece, you name it. Can’t dry it either - leave it loose and it twists through 180 degrees. Strap it and it splits into splinters. Do it slow and it grows mushrooms.

I ended up importing everything from Estonia, where they know how to manage slow-growing forestry reserves. People literally came from the local villages to come admire the wood like it was an alien spacecraft - Baltic pine, but nice tight stuff that hasn’t flinched in 40 degree daily cycles.

It is an aspect of an open mind to consider that a thing that looks good might not be.
First of all, many people in Ukraine speak Russian. So those people very clear 'speak essentially the same language'.

Second, I am Swiss and Swiss German is quite different then High German with somewhat different historical routes. When I was in Ukraine we were talking about languages and how they differ from each other and came to the conclusion that Swiss German <-> High German was a reasonable comparison. In some way Swiss German is more different to German then Ukrainian to Russian.

I do consider Swiss German and High German 'essentially the same language' as well. Now if Germany invaded Switzerland I would likely also argue against the notion but that's just politics.

You can of course be nitpick and quibble with the term 'essentially', the fact is they are extremely close related languages.

There is a lot of interesting history of both nationalist movement trying to influence the language. Imperial Russian tried to make Ukrainian more Russian (generally promoting Pan-Slavic policy with Russia as the leader). Specially in the Pre-WW1 period when it became increasingly clear that Ukrainian nationalism was a potential disaster for Imperial Russia. Ukrainian nationalist did the opposite, tried to remove Russian influence and promote the differences. Language unification and dis-unification is an interesting aspect of all modern nationalist development and its always political.

> The argument can be made that this is not Safari, but a PWA runtime environment that happens to use WebKit internally.

This is a silly and thin technicality, and not at all the same as what people are mad about. Nobody cares that WebKit is used to render certain windows on iOS and MacOS - it's Apple's choice to implement first-party programs that way. They can defend their usage of it internally, the problem is the limitations they impose on competitors.

> I’ve read the DMA

You're certainly taking some elements in liberty. It remains unclear how defining WebKit as a "PWA runtime environment" exempts it from the terms of the DMA or DSA.
