About Me: I'm Adarsh Shah—an Independent Consultant, Engineering Leader, Architect, and Public Speaker with over 20 years of experience in DevOps/Cloud, MLOps, and Backend Development.

Before moving into independent consulting, I founded CloudKnit(https://github.com/cloudknit-io/cloudknit), an open-source cloud environment orchestration product. I bootstrapped and built it with a small team, taking it from concept to market. Along the way, I grew the business into a profitable venture and secured multiple enterprise customers, including a seven-figure deal with a Fortune 50 company.

Now, I help startups and enterprises build scalable, cloud-native solutions and accelerate their technology roadmaps.

I am looking for part-time or full-time contract opportunities at the moment (up to 40 hours/week).

I recently bought myself a mini "smart" rice cooker from Aliexpress. Works really well, but the buttons are just labelled in chinese as it's only meant to be sold in that market. Even the app needed to have its location changed so that it would pair with the device, but at least it let me keep "English". The app has a whole list of different rice varieties so that it presumably customises the process for different grains, but it's great as I choose either the quick or the slow cooking method and let it do it's thing.
Being able to get the panels+frame separately from the control boards would be great. Doubt it's really practical though.

To be fair, if a hammer is sitting unused in a toolbox for 10 years, you might find it does "need an update", as the handle might have dried out and rotted, needing replacement.

Woodworkers and machinists probably spend as much time on tool upkeep as programmers do futzing with updates, new plug-ins, etc.
While the headline says GPS, the article says signals were acquired from GPS and Galileo, which increases the number of GNSS satellites available to get a location fix.

> Several comments here against the article talk about the Chinese economy problems and this article in this morning’s BBC is a pretty good summary of the dynamics and the problems

They have been predicting 'a hard landing' for the Chinese economy every year for 15 years now. What the economic press publishes in Angloamerican countries about China is just external lobbying to scare China into opening up its market to financial speculation. Without any success. Naturally so, as everyone saw what it led to in the West in 2008.
That'd be great! Just shoot a message to spain-info@maildrop.cc
I've seen code like that in production, it's not as strange as you think (pretty common in reactjs codebase). After a while, you just get used to it and read past the weird syntax. It's not really that different from a switch-case or if-else block:

function member(item, x) {
return /* if */ is_null(x)
? /* then */ null
: /* elif */ item === head(x)
? /* then */ x
: /* else */ member(item, tail(x));
}
And the next line says: " Yet, Mooney said the pattern associated with the cable fault events that have occurred in the Baltic Sea in the past 15 months makes it unlikely that none of them were intentional."
Well, if countries follow the schemes proposed by the G7 they certainly have no space to become great economies. That's the whole purpose of the IMF, the World Bank, etc, to keep countries a small cog in the G7 economy. That's why China is seen as a "threat".
Mearsheimer is on the Russian payroll through the Valdai Club, which was set up to influence Western thinkers. He omits facts or twists them to fit his narrative. So it's no wonder that Russians have paid to have his books published. If you are listening to anything he says, you are ingesting Russian propaganda. It's like trying to learn about Germany from revisionist Neo-Nazi literature paid by a "friends of the SS" type of organization. Not a good idea unless you are an expert who can spot the distortions.

Mearsheimer's manipulations become very obvious when he faces a knowledgeable person who is not easily fooled by him. Such as Radoslaw Sikorski, the foreign minister of Poland. Sikorski and Mearsheimer held a public debate over Ukraine, and Mearsheimer was utterly humiliated when he tried to argue against Sikorski about events he has only read about, but where Sikorski was a direct participant.

The interesting part of her work is that unlike other photographers who not only took photos but had the chance to edit them, someone else discovered a bunch of negatives she left behind. So others came in later to turn them into what you see.

Anyone who has shot photos (film or digital) knows how much effort goes into the editing process.

I love her photographs and her story, I just find it fascinating to think about this detail, especially when contextualizing her with other artists.
Because the EU has a very different reaction pattern and overall resources. It was never a question about downing ships that are sabotaging cables.

Neither the EU countries, nor the US have enough ships to patrol or escort every civilian ship that happens to parse over an undersea cable.

Assume that the Russian shadow fleet starts targetting US cables. What would, could, the US do? The US government could easily retaliate by simply opening the US weapons depos to the Ukrainians. Target US infrastructure and Ukraine gets whatever it wants. The EU can't really do something similar.

Technically you're not wrong, if the EU navies where large enough, they could just escort every single civilian ship, but that's not realistic.
All of the well documented cases of the past few years have occured in international waters.

The inspection paradox in renewal theory that you linked (for every t the interval containing t is on average larger than the average interval) is an instance of the inspection paradox described in the article (the mean seen by a random observer can be very different from the true mean). Bus/train waiting times are in fact the third example in the article.

The US has previously worked to help reduce nuclear proliferation partly by offering security in exchange (e.g. Budapest Memorandum whereby Ukraine gave up their nukes). Of course there's a short term (& short sighted?) benefit to the US if it can reduce the military budget significantly, and/or redeploy assets from supporting NATO partners to areas felt to be more important to current US interests, BUT this comes at a cost ... NATO members, and others - like Ukraine - believing themselves to be under a US security umbrella will now realize that such promises mean little to nothing - having an expiration date at the end of the US administration that negotiated them - and they have to take care of themselves. Is it really in the US's long term interest to have ROW more heavily militarized and more countries developing/proliferating nuclear weapons for their own protection?

As far as technology goes, putting a hard embargo on US exports of AI-supporting hardware is only going to further accelerate China's push to develop home-grown alternatives, and in a world where the US is isolating itself and new alliances are forming, such as China-Russia, this means that future US attempts to prevent cutting edge technology getting into the hands of others will be increasingly futile since these non-US alliances will support each other.

An isolated USA is in the end a weaker USA.

From what I understand the Public Spaces Protection Order is a law that exists exactly for this reason, how would this be a judicial overreaction?

Seems similar to the German law that makes it illegal to wear politcal symbols or talk politics outside of polling places. There is an undefined "buffer zone" outside of the voting location where, if you display political symbols, you will be arrested. This is a limitation of freedom of expression, but IMHO it makes total sense.

New React Native Framework for Enterprise
Callstack just announced a new framework for React Native. It's focused on reusable builds on your own cloud, supporting all available platforms and easy adoption in existing community CLI projects and native apps with some new brownfield packaging approach.

For context: there's only Expo recognized as a framework in this space, so this creates some diversity.

It's not yet open source, but it's gonna be in the upcoming weeks.

Almost certainly those sites use much more sophisticated counting schemes.

You're not the creator of the tool in question, so it's OK for you not to know about this stuff, but I would really expect more from someone who is setting out to create a "character counter" tool.
It's hard to see that as a huge victory at the cost of more than 900.00p casualties for something Russia has plenty of - land.

Also economic collapse (high inflation, high interest rates, and no industry).

Ukraine just needs to continue to chip away at them, the bigger they are, the bigger the fall, and Russians aren't paying the price for this blunder yet.
Yes, absolutely. Why do you think it should matter?
Show HN: Form Builder Based on JSONForms
I'm working on a form builder web app based on the fantastic JSONForms project.

I created it because I'm tired of manually creating forms for each project.

The app stores form schemas and allows them to be embedded via a web component or shared via a link.

It doesn't store submission data but can handle submissions via email or a server POST request to a custom endpoint (the data will be validated against the form json schema before being sent).

Feel free to try it. It doesn't require an account.

I am assuming that the major reason that you wanted to do this is that SPARC is big-endian. It works in the native order of TCP/IP, and the hton/ntoh macros are null at the socket level in C.

> Some emojis require two UTF-16 code units so yep, standard

But not acceptable in a "character counter", in my opinion. What exactly is the use case for this counter, since it won't align with anyone's real-world intuition for the meaning of "character"?
The truth is not disrespectful.
I think this shows the problem of non fiscal pegs - the value of rare earths or duterium is going to be impacted by technical change. For example let's say that a new processing technique means that a rare earth can be extracted at 20% of the current cost, or a new deposit is discovered. The whole economy is now flexed around this change... which has nothing to do with the economy.

I don't think that there is a fixed asset that could be suitable as a proper peg.

Those videos are amplified greatly by Russian propaganda bots, one thing to put them in check is to ask how many hundreds of thousands of young Russian men fled and climbed through walls once the mobilization was announced by the regime.

Yes, but it raises the question of what exactly the "character" count is supposed to mean.

It's more a convenience tax. The nano also has battery management onboard, which is one less thing to think about. But really at that price difference picking the nano over the bare pro micro has to save me less than an hour of design time and it's already paid for itself if I'm just building a keyboard for myself. If I was looking to manufacture something at any more than "it's just for me" scale it would be a different story but it's extremely well targeted at its niche.

It was his right to refuse to send it to congress.
