Israel is entirely dependent on US for weapons needed for the war; and yet Biden admin prefers a risky operation like this to applying the slightest pressure to get Israel to allow aid in via land border crossings. Utter humiliation for USA

The US has military bases in Qatar, Seychelles, and the Philippines. It's almost as if NATO membership has nothing to do with it.
Critical TeamCity Vuln Exploitation Started After Disclosure
This article is the exact reason why.

(1) Requires some out-of-band information to authenticate. Information that people are used to keeping safe.

On the other hand the URLs in (2) are handled as URLs. URLs are often logged, recorded, shared, passed around. E.g. your work firewall logging the username and password you used to log into a service would obviously be bad, but logging URLs you've accessed would probably seems fine.

[the latter case is just an example - the E2E guarantees of TLS mean that neither should be accessible]
This action undermines Israel’s blockade, and could be seen as an act of war, so it’s important the US lead the effort.

The article does mention that other countries are participating and helping as well though.

What’s embarrassing here for the US is that they have to basically force the aid in. They don’t seem willing to use their full leverage to let the aid in the normal way

This is either irony or insanity.
What good did the two previous US/Nato wars in the region accomplish? Very little if anything at all.

Imagine a world where the US had not sullied its international reputation by invading countries and killing hundreds of thousands.
Not really, because Sweden wasn't going to send troops to Ukraine as a NATO proxy without a defence pact anyway.
Maybe seems like "cheating" to refill as it messes with the business model.

My experiences are with Printers and ink. A studio I'm a member of inherited a big epson4880 printer. Its a big heavy machine, well built. It came with a "chip resetter" tool for refilling ink carts. The printer seems to know that its using non-epson inks (it warns me on the little display, and I have to click through) but it allows them (right now filled with cleaning solution, but thats another storry).

Newer printers don't allow this (unless you are in Europe). Apparently they are running out of DRM chips, and some of the new printers require a firmware update to use new ink cartridges using the older chips.

One can see a day when these printers/dishwashers no longer have ink/detergents manufactured for them, becoming big paperweights.

Companies never seem to want offer more expensive products with cheaper use costs. Maybe the problem is people don't think about it enough? Where I live the markets have 2 prices listed on the shelves. 1) the cost of the package, 2) the cost per unit of the package (eg cost per oz, cost per pill etc..). Its much easier to compare.

"We are currently supplying the European Region versions of this printer model. They can work with a simple chip resetter and refillable cartridges (which we do not supply).
Unfortunately, the USA Region versions of this printer have been designed by EPSON to prevent the use of non-EPSON chips and are designed to prevent the use of a chip resetter. As a result, we do not believe any 3rd party solutions may become available for the USA region printers for some considerable time until the anti-3rd party mechanism that prevents the use of 3rd party products is discovered and circumvented.."

I guess I'm thinking along the lines of analyzing processes for which I have some intuition what the frequency distribution should look like. Say I have a scheduled task running once per second which does some work, and I expect to see a corresponding cpu spike every second. But I notice that sometimes when the task runs it takes longer. Looking at the cpu spectrum I see a frequency spike at 1Hz corresponding to my 1/s task, but I also see a spike at 0.2Hz, confirming my suspicion that something is contending for cpu resources on every fifth task, slowing it down. Now I know to look for something that's happening every 5s.

In this contrived example I could have probably intuited that I was looking for something with a period of 5s without looking at the spectrum but maybe there are cases where it could be useful? I guess I'll just have to play around with data and find out :p.

I knew that in Python all variables are really references to objects (even when we're using a number) - is JavaScript the same way?

It's easier to defend Denmark, Norway and Finland if Sweden is not in the way. With this, Sweden is more likely to become completely "open" to NATO operations in any conflict that involves defending those three NATO members.
Buying an inkjet printer should be like buying a circular saw. Not everything needs a circular saw but if you need one, you need one.

The people who actually need an inkjet printer are people who do a lot of crafts or projects who need quick turnaround.

I personally have a middle option of a color laser printer and while tbh the prints look like shite, they are good enough for my projects.

A tidal locked planet is still rotating, just a lot slower than more "normal" planets, so maybe you could use some of the effects of the rotation to help figure out position?

For example set up a Foucault pendulum and observe it long enough to determine the angular speed of its precession. From that you can determine your latitude. There will be only two points on the surface of your planet that have that latitude and have your sun in the right place.

But "type checking" that's Turing complete is not type checking at all, it's just a phase distinction. It's no different than choosing whether to run code at "compile" vs. "run" time, except that in practice, we don't even want to have fully Turing-complete compile workflows that might, e.g. not terminate. Dependently typed languages implement this phase distinction via program extraction: you "extract" the code to be fed into the "runtime" phase of execution.

Is there some obvious reason the causality of this would be going one way rather than the other? The 60-40 split and the strength of the effect makes me wonder if it isn't more likely that the high plastic group are failing to keep it out of their cells due to health problems, rather than the plastic itself causing health problems - especially with the mention of smoking and maleness being linked with the high plastic group.

I think there is value in elevating it from an ergonomic point of view, especially when walking that boundary between concurrency and parallelism.

Pure concurrency has the advantage that you can do away with a lot of complex and nuanced synchronism mechanisms, by virtue of the fact you’re not actually sharing memory between parallel lines of computation. Something that makes writing correct concurrent code quite a bit easier and friendlier. In that world have clear and explicit markers of when a function call might result in you yielding to the event loop, and thus memory values you read previously in your function might change, is very handy. Especially if there’s a nice mechanism to delay that yield until after you’ve completed all your important memory operations, and have confidence that your computed values are consistent.

Coroutines are certainly a different approach to the same problem, so hide the blocking nature of functions in a neat way, but at the cost of requiring you to start using those complex synchronisation primitives, because any function call or operation might result in an implicit yield, and thus you can’t predict when memory values might change.

My first introduction to async/await was the Twisted framework for Python. It wasn’t called async/await back then, the principles were identical. Twisted made it possible to write pretty high performance concurrent network code in python, in a way that was very understandable, and _safe_, without resorting to multi-threading or multi-processing. As a result I think the async/await in Python is actually a really good idea. When used correctly, it makes it possible to write really nice, performant, code in python, without resorting to parallelism, and all the pitfalls that come with that (I.e. synchronisation). Async/await provides a nice middle ground between full on parallelism, and single threaded blocking code with no ability to interleave IO operations.
Sure, if they want to jump into a conflict with Israel. US can't be touched like they could. Also, situation is out of hand and US has been indirectly involved. On top of it, it's an election year and the lack of the US speaking up has hurt Biden's numbers.

In the context of this article, it is that security scanning software that companies/users are using seem to be indexing some of the 12-char links out of emails which ends up in some cases on public scan. Additionally, if domain.com/12-char-password is requested without https, even if there is a redirect, that initial request went over the wire unencrypted and therefore could be MITM, whereas with a login page, there are more ways to guarantee that the password submit would only ever happen over https.
>Utter humiliation for USA

How do you figure? To me this is the US showing leadership and balance - we will both support our ally Israel while also providing humanitarian aid to people we believe have a right to their homeland too.
This is a particularly clever post.

For those that don’t have experience running companies with permissive free tiers, free tiers often act as a honeypot for a certain category of users that (1) don’t and will never pay for your product, (2) complain loudly and often and (3) eat up your support time.

This category of user is equally toxic to any competitor’s platform. The best B2B companies paywall early and set the bar high.

Germany really do not want to send soldiers to Ukraine. For a whole lot of internal very German reasons their military is not in a good position for armed conflict.

I recommend this video on French defence strategy https://youtu.be/n5eUh3_eo9E?si=k19OmbQiGVdw2LXB

To be fair, the current scope of government for most of the world is far beyond mutual defense at this point. Governments of the 19th and 20th Century also provided defense, and did so with a much smaller portion of GDP.

I think there's a pretty strong argument that global military is close to a zero-sum game, but I agree that this doesn't mean there is a obvious alternative.

Last, I think it's pretty indisputable that there's been significant scope creep given that western government taxation & spending are now pushing 50% of GDP. If you look at the US, the federal government was 2% of GDP in 1920, and closer to 25% today. This is despite 10x in inflation adjusted GDP per capita. This means that more realistically, government is consuming/directing 100x more productive capacity per person.

For folks who want to do "prosumer" level color print, I recently bought an Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 and am very happy with the prints. In addition to high-quality CMYK inks, it adds "Photo Black" and "Photo Grey".

The Epson replaced a Brother color laser printer that served me well 5+ years, but of course color laser prints don't approach the quality of color inkjet prints.

Many comments accurately point out that causation is not yet established. Nonetheless, having plastic inside my body really seems bad. Is there anything I can do to reduce that? My guesses:

1. Avoid fast food

2. Don’t use plastic water bottles and food packaging

3. Store leftovers in glass

4. Eat less canned food (?)

Do any of those seem wrong? Any others to add?

> Why isn't there a NATO base in the US where German military etc. "hang out"?

The same reason that within NATO, German troops are forward deployed to Lithuania and not vice versa; it doesn't contribute to defensive strategy to backward-deploy forces from the countries closer to the large conventional threat to the ones farther from it.
Irony: NATO maybe was considered of questionable necessity before Putin invaded Ukraine to supposedly contain NATO, which ended up being a gigantic ad for NATO. Now it's on track to become the de-facto EU military.

Putin is yet another fabulous counterexample for the anti-democracy crowd. He spent hundreds of thousands of Russian lives, hundreds of billions, tons of military hardware, and incurred sanctions to earn... a massive increase in the strength and prestige of one of his (again supposed) major adversaries. Not only is NATO growing but the EU is ramping up its own domestic military industries. Absolutely massive own-goal. Even if he "wins" in Ukraine to some extent it's a strategic net loss at this point.

Starting to wonder if China is going to do the same thing with Taiwan: invade and set gigantic amounts of money on fire and implode their economy. Even if they "win" the damage might far exceed the gain.
It's KGB, they are the MBAs of the east. If they would capture something innovative in the wild, they would shoot the team and put the thing in a "palace of innovation" in mocowardia.

So, I was hoping to solicit your opinion on where you think Kaliningrad will be in a couple of years? (Say 5)

It probably won't be called "Koningsberg", but would you say it's probable it will become independent? Part of Lithuania, Poland? Or will it remain firmly Russian and (economically) isolated?

Hi, very passionate about programming, numerical methods and performance. I have 15 years of experience in numerical and performance oriented problems, with C++ as the core stack. I have working in the Electronic Design Automation industry for more than 10 years, on leading tools used today to design the chips of tomorrow. I have also worked in research institutes, implementing numerical algorithms for data analysis and parallelizing them for Heterogeneous clusters.

IMO it's still not certain NATO will hold together if Putin decides to attack the Baltic states or Poland. Many NATO countries will have sizeable factions of their electorate saying to not get involved.

The fact that Ukraine hasn't been easy for him makes it less likely that Putin will attempt that, but it's clearly been on his mind.
Would love to see any/all other albums/photos that you are willing to share.
Firstly, he has said so many times.

Secondly, he's a lying sack of shit.

Third. Don't be a useful idiot.
In my personal experience (not a lot, from my early 20s) the opposite can also be true.

I came down from that trip thinking everything I had previously believed, and had been taught, was a sham. For the rest of that summer I was worried about a great number of things.
What does that practically mean though? Europe could stop Russia today, independent of the US. The first 18 months of ramping up production would be painful, but there is no question who would win.

Does Europe want to project force around the world? If so, why? It's much more cost-efficient to let the US taxpayer foot the majority of the bill for navigable seas.
I take wisdom where I can find it, and leave the rest.

I wouldn't want as much attention on my flaws as his get.
Wouldn't it be nice if there were an open source printer? There was a thread a few years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24786721 - Ask HN: Why are there no open source 2d printers? (2020)

There was some mentioning of forensic tracking requirements for printers in the comments:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14501894 - List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking Dots (2017)

But I am not sure if forensic requirements is the reason why people didn't want to make printers. I suspect the demand for printing at home has declined to the point where making a good printer is no longer economically worthwhile.
