As Ukrainian, I can say that you don’t understand anything.

Some data points might be correct, but you have not enough data to connect the dots, so you make wrong conclusions.

Russia was threatening with invading Ukraine right from the beginning of its recent independence.

There were two large schools of thoughts how to deal with it:

1) try to “go around rain drops” by not provoking Russia but simultaneously to not give up sovereignty

2) move as fast as possible and seek protection from NATO like baltics and other eastern europeans.

When Russia starts regaining power internally, it became much harder to “go around raindrops”, as russia start to perform FSB style operation to discredit Ukraine in the west and to enforce its will on the inside.

Kravchuk (2nd president), falls the victim of that when Ukraine was accused of selling weapons to counties under sanctions, which made him a pariah in the west.

Later he was accused of ordering of killing a journalist which made him a pariah on the inside.

Also it was time when Russia tried to make the first attempt of annexing Crimea by trying to get first island near it - (Tusla).

Kuchma was able to make some agreement with russia a relax the tensions.

Then russia decided that the next president have to be Yanukovych - a criminal with served jail time.

An opposed politician was Yuschenko, who was famous for his reforms on the national bank and was considered by the time a successful manager and politician.

What’s worse, Russia helped to rig the elections and later poison Yuschenko with dioxin.

This caused a first revolution.

Yuschinko understood very well what he was dealing with and saw the only salvation from NATO as the threats from Russia increased.

And so on, and so forth.

US was not in favor of Ukrainian independence for a very long time and never helped in any way, except for disarming. The first time US president arrived to Ukraine was to talk the parliament out of proclaiming independence.

Europe was always afraid of russia and very careful with Ukraine.

Russia was always threatening and tried to regain control over Ukraine - both politically, by sabotage, special operations and military.

Ukraine was looking for help and screaming that russia will attack sooner or later.

Ukraine consider itself to be part of Europe by values, and is fighting russia for more than a century already paying huge price.

NATO was considered the only way to finally stop this cycle, but with US withdrawing, it may seems that all of the struggle was in vain as Europe might not be capable to protect even itself.

there's also a CRDT version of this, which allows two databases to be sync'ed to each other in real time (aka, updates to one will eventually make it to the other, and both database would eventually contain the same data).

It's https://vlcn.io/docs/cr-sqlite/intro , and i find it amazing that this is doable in sqlite. It is perfect for small scale collaboration imho, but it also works to sync across local client and remote server (for a single db per user scenario).
Patents alone aren't protecting ASML or other countries would have knocked it off by now. Trade secrets drive real innovation. You only patent what you think you can profitably protect.
no, undefined behavior not just behavior that is not covered by the language definition. undefined behavior is term of art largely taken from C/C++, basically meaning that correct programs are assumed not to have these behaviors. for example, see https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/behavior. the definition of ub is not "just marketing". many major security vulnerabilities stem from having ub (out of bounds access, use after free). the point of rust is pretty much that you have to try hard to have ub, whereas in c/c++, it's basically impossible to not have ub.
Probably not too different if: Biden acted like Trump during his first 100 days, was extremely abrasive and disrespectful to Zelensky, told NATO the US isn't going forward with any more security commitments, and then this deal happened.

Context matters.

Previously, I co-founded Taskrabbit. That was somewhat similar but now it's time to get LLMs in on the action!
It's in the app store, but still early in the game, so we are looking for engineers to build it out. We are using Python and React Native.

Apple can stay far ahead simply by not falling even faster than Windows. Finder and Spotlight have gotten worse, but they remain light-years ahead of their Windows counterparts.
I’m not against capabilities. I’m just highlighting it’s for the developers to implement protections against malicious intrusions against the OS, not for users to protect against developers doing malicious things.
Well, you could probably ask an LLM today what knowledge his brain contained and get plausible sounding answers. ;)
"Mandate" how? Unless they're doing expensive mandatory periodic inspections nothing is stopping me from plugging my EVSE into an outlet meant for a welder, dryer, pool pump, etc.

And can always charge L1 120v, even if it's unbearably slow.
Ada and Scheme.
Yes, I was a fairly early SwiftUI guinea pig, when I'd mistakenly assumed it was solid because of how Apple was pushing it, and your "WWDC demo" is spot-on.

The DSL could've been better (while still syncing between code and direct-manipulation GUI painter). And the interaction model seemed like it wasn't to be trusted, and was probably buggy (and others confirmed bugs). The lack of documentation on some entitlements APIs being demoed as launched left me shouting very bad words on multiple days (which is not something I normally do) before I made everything work.

I could feel this, and ended up wrapping all my UI with a carefully hand-implemented hierarchical statechart, so that the app would work in the field for our needs, the first time, and every time. Normally, for consumer-grade work, I would just use the abstractions of the interface toolkit, and not have to formally model it separately.

Don't get me started on what a transparently incompetent load of poo some of the Apple developer Web sites were, for complying with the additional burdens that Apple places on developers, just because it can. Obvious rampant data consistency problems, poor HCI design, and just plain unreliable behavior. I think I heard that at least some of that had been outsourced, to one of those consulting firms that everyone knows isn't up to doing anything competently, but that somehow gets contracts anyway.

There used to be patches in AOSP for Fuchsia but they all got reverted a couple years ago. I believe Starnix is the new strategy to get Android working on Fuchsia, if they are going to try for it.

> Feels a bit like saying that subsidising personal cars is good for the tank business.

I mean, in WWII, a lot of car manufacturers made tanks instead. Buick made the Hellcat, Chrysler, Ford and a variety of train manufacturers made the Sherman, and on and on. The skills are much more transferable than a lot of other fields.

In fact, this is explicitly why the US and others subsidize their passenger car industries.

This probably wouldn't work as well today, because most modern automakers just do engine design, assembly, and pick some parts out of a Bosch catalog, but I bet the more ambitious, vertically integrated automakers like BYD or Tesla could do an OK job in a pinch.
Here's my take on this Frankensteined assemblage of disjointed data sets they are trying to use (badly) to study the drivers of the gender gap:

It’s interesting to consider how different career paths and total time worked can affect compensation - for both men AND women. The topic certainly warrants further analysis.

That said, McKinsey’s narrative about their approach glosses over serious data challenges. While it’s clear their analysts made significant efforts (and leaps of logic) to transform suboptimal inputs into a grand, authoritative finding—it’s not clear WHY.

Knowing that errors compound with each step of a multi-stage analysis, and without additional visibility into the quality and utility of their source data and assumptions, I'm calling BS on McKinsey’s "calculations".

This sounds like you are applying shifting baseline syndrome. [0] [1] [2]

Another way to phrase shifting baseline is when people apply what they experience with an over weighted value. For example, the cost of living has skyrocketed in the USA compared to older generations, with the cost of a home, healthcare, and basic goods and services. Wages have been stagnant while the wealthy keep gaining more and more of economic power. Economic mobility is also quite low compared to 10 or 20 years ago.

Those trips are most likely more cost effective compared to the 1950s because the technology was new and still evolving. Air travel was a luxury and now it is a commodity. Engineers have improved the technology to craft air plains while finding ways to reduce production cost. Cost savings have not be pushed to the working class and are shifted to the wealthy.

If the wage increase of CEOs was linear with your wage. It would be higher and also be less of an economic for burden the masses.

People over value the rare lucky ones as being the average of all. Kind of how a number of Americans are against taxing the wealthy because they believe they are or will become wealthy. It is rare to become wealthy and often those that are lacking in empathy and morals. Just like my Uncle that worked for Arbys, which is a millionaire because he believes and supports the idea that those below him should not be payed a living wage.

At leas I learned from him that those franchises often run on debt because they try and pull out every last dollar into the owner's pockets. He was looking to become the owner but the debt was too great to buy in, as a millionaire.

That can be treated as an OS bug that’s fixed by updating the kernel to the latest version that fixes compat with that driver, which you can do because the driver remains unchanged. With Linux, even with DKMS, you’d need to backport your fixes to that old kernel in addition to maintaining the latest kernel version. And on mobile DKMS is not a thing.
> I wonder if they don’t really believe we’d come to defend them

I think every sensible ally of the US would now be developing (if they haven't already) contingency plans for any scenario in which they might get embroiled in that would (under previously agreed terms) require an ally to support them. Who can believe in an unconditional military alliance, when the US government is so nakedly prioritising economic transactionalism, even at the expense of their own long-term security (there's a reason countries get into alliances). This US government's handling of the Ukraine situation will undoubtedly turn out to have been the biggest geopolitical footgun for many a decade.

I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this but there's a bug in the display settings where:

- high resolution high refresh rate display (max res and refresh rate are higher than DP1.2 bandwidth)

- attached to dock through DP

- macbook lid is closed and plugged into dock

the attached display defaults to the highest resolution, even though it's unsupported by TB3. This leads to a black screen. Changing the resolution by opening the lid doesn't fix this because closing the lid will return the external display to the default resolution.

> first production versions of macOS? A couple of years maybe?

Ok, I'll bite. If we're talking classic Macintosh OS, perhaps.[0] macOS? No way. The first Mac OS X was released in 2001, and was in development between 1997 and 2001 according to Wikipedia.[1] But the bulk of the OS already existed 1997. Mac OS X was a reskin of NeXTStep. NeXTStep was released in 1989, final release 1995, final preview 1997 (just before Apple sold out to NeXT).[2] NeXTStep was in production for quite some time before the x86 version shipped (around '95 from memory). In case you are wondering, I can assure you that NeXTStep was a very capable OS. NeXTStep was in development for a couple of years before the first hardware shipped in 1989. NeXTStep was built on top of Mach and BSD 4.3 userspace. Mach's initial release was 1985.[3]. Not sure how long the first release of Mach took to develop. You can check BSD history yourself. But I'd say, conservatively, that macOS took at least 14 years to develop.

A bit of all of the above. Third party solutions mean some orgs and politicians can slurp up data and provide it to other third parties for kick-backs. Both RTA and third party can be bypassed and in fact would lead to more teens getting into credit card fraud and potentially giving them a criminal background before their careers even get started whereas bypassing RTA would not create yet more criminals. Gotta feed the prison industrial complex. Small children the original intended focal point would not be bypassing RTA thus giving good parents time to educate them on risks of websites and the people participating on them. Third party tracking allows people against porn to identify what kinks people are into much like Epstein lured people into compromising positions to blackmail them. Even if that is not their intention their sites will be hacked to acquire and sell that information for that purpose. With the RTA header none of this is possible.

Until big porn companies, social media companies or any companies use lobbyists to implement RTA it just won't happen. I bring it up when this topic comes up quarterly year over year. I've beaten the dead horse so many times the dust has evaporated. It's rather silly now since the original RTA header was the ICRA PICS header much more complex to implement. Adding a single simple header and looking for a header is trivial which means the obstacles are entirely human made and artificial. Perhaps when governments start creating more expensive laws and penalties around user contributed content things may change.

Well, now you know you're confident about an utter falsehood.

Every day our beloved, but flawed country, is descending into further ruinous idiocy, depredation, and cruelty. Callous fools voted in by callous fools, callous to the cruelty they cause, without compassion, empathy, or kindness, therefore: completely without humanity. Lying wolves in sheep's clothing, corralling manipulatible useful idiots to achieve their nefarious, selfish, destructive plans.

On this topic, you're a Dunning-Kruger low achiever who rates themself far, far too highly. And that's because you haven't done the work to understand that you're ridiculously overconfident about your perspective on life on Earth with our fellow human beings.

DNSSEC adoption across the Tranco top 1000 is very low, and DNSSEC adoption in North America has fallen recently. Deliverability is a function of multiple signals, and I don't doubt the C.W. that DNSSEC is one of those signals, but it's obviously not a requirement, since nobody is doing it.

The "clawing back" isn't simply a withdraw of resources back to America, it also requires structural fixes within America (mostly looking at the wealth inequality), as well as properly address the nativist embers that are currently lit.

An America that successfully claws back, but does not address the internal weaknesses in time will have its own version of China's and Russia's demographic challenges.

Allowing the concentration of wealth solely amongst the super wealthy.
Uh what? That's not what's happening at all. Russia is basically in control of the US federal government via Trump and Musk, both of whom have widely reported sympathies with Putin's administration and interests.

Putin is busting out the US, Soprano's style. Trump has signaled acceptance of the Russian war of aggression and has also signaled that China can invade Taiwan. Russia and China are allies.

This is part of China getting a foothold in the American tech industry. Kind of a followup to Deepseek, but providing the Chinese government more access to US chips via a physical presence. The original Trump plan was for TSMC to literally take over Intel plants, but Intel told Trump to get stuffed.
