Blame the board, full stop. "Follow the money", there is really no other possible answer. Some set of people are responsible and to determine who that is, you read the corporate ledger, you read the financing contracts, you read the bylaws and governance structures, and what they literally state is that the board of directors are responsible for directing the company. The board is responsible. If you wish to be a director and responsible, then go incorporate, now you are the board! You are responsible! Good luck!
More countries are already considering building nuclear deterrence for the past month or so.
>A far more effective strategy to force them out of Ukraine, would be genuine economic starvation.

It doesn't seems like that. The West was pretty intolerant to business connections with Russia, and if instead of 80% cut there was 100% cut - it doesn't change the overall picture very much.

>by threatening sanctions on India and China

If We look at the trade balance of Western countries and China - the West isn't close to the position to do that.

>use it as a pretext to restart economic ties with Russia is the impending collapse of the Russian economy
>yielding to Russian demands.

That's a blatant conspiracy theory. It seems like the main obstacle in the Trump's "peace deal" is that Putin is thinking that he is winning this war and that the Russian economy has way more time than the Ukrainian army will be able to conscript new soldiers.

>employing the same tactics Reagan used to bankrupt the Soviet Union

Soviet Union collapsed because of it's own complete left economy, because oil prices were several times lower than now (even adjusted for inflation) and because Gorbachev thought that it is better for him to advertise pizza, then to be the Supreme Ruler of those piece of sh.t of a country.

It's not the first time it happens. For example, in 2006 the US stopped supplying spare parts to F-16s it sold to Venezuela.[0] Oddly, other countries kept buying F-16s.

Or think about Boeing and Airbus stopping servicing the planes they sold to Russia. Other countries are still buying from them as if nothing happened.

P.S. I was once asked to review the code of a famous programmer I won't name. I was shocked to discover that the large codebase had 3 different implementations of bubblesort in it. I replaced them all with a call to qsort(). He asked me how I managed to speed it up :-/

We all have our blind spots. I do, too.
In fairness, he's getting kind of old.
This is what is going on.

One of the earlier seasons of Survivor had the winner leaked because of something similar.

Their website had bios of every player, with a <playername>.jpg headshot. As they were voted out, their headshot was replaced with <playername>_eliminated.jpg.

As soon as someone realized that, they entered in every player's name with _eliminated.jpg. One player had a 404 for that file.
I still have a netbook. It's not an Asus Eee but a Samsung N102SP.

I don't really know if there's any way I can use it for anything nowadays. Windows is out of the question - it originally shipped with Windows 7 Starter, which it was already struggling with, to be honest.

I tried installing Linux on it, and it turned out that it requires a proprietary graphics driver, support for which was dropped from the kernel at some point...
You are a brave soldier - almost a true resistance hero. Chapeau.
SQLAlchemy is still arguably the most featureful and robust ORM in Python (although it is much more than an ORM). It is likely the best default choice unless you're already working within a framework that offers its own ORM.

SQLAlchemy does support type annotations [0], am curious what issues you're running into there?

As I mentioned, hazards are a physical button. I don’t know what the issue is.

For the fans, usually they turn on automatically, but sometimes I have to turn them on by voice control.

As I have said before, these are all things that are trivially easy to handle without removing one’s hands from the wheel or eyes from the road. Some folks are just hellbent on tilting at this windmill for some reason.
> The executive branch shouldn't have nearly as much authority as it does and anything we want to be difficult to be undone should be protected by law

It doesn't matter if rights are protected by law, if the executive branch has no intention to enforce that law.

Right now the executive branch is plainly violating laws established by Congress, and there is no one to stop them.
Makes sense. I also got the impression that the crates implementing embedded-hal aren't super robust. So maybe I should dial back the statement about not needing to roll your own drivers. However, I think it's just a matter of "when", not "if". I.e. Rust seems to have all the pieces in place for a rich and vibrant embedded development ecosystem (standardized HAL, easy to share HALs and tools with others, open source, a community that embraces docs and educational videos)

A problem with this article is it could easily give people the incorrect impression that there isn't significant mineral wealth in Ukraine (and occupied Ukraine). There certainly is, potentially trillions of dollars worth: https://united24media.com/business/ukraines-mineral-resource... Sure, these specific types of deposits may not be valuable. But there's plenty of other types of resources that are valuable, and many mines were/are operational.

Russia didn't invade Ukraine just because. They're doing it to steal valuable land and resources. They're not just evil or misguided. They're rational evil.
Nah, it's a by-product of giving people what they want to make money. This sort of issue has been building for a long time. It's based on abundance of resources and availability of choices. As we have more time and money to spend on things, we can make more independent choices and take positions on issues that we didnt even think about before. Essentially, the semi-homogeneous population slowly fragments into smaller and smaller factions that are not geographically constrained (thanks to tech).
at that point aren't you just replacing regular programming with creating the thousands of rules? I suppose the rules are reusable so it might be a form of meta-programming or advanced codegen

Is it a block level transformation. I could also imagine developer nuking the image and download it all again fresh “just to be sure”.
You realize all the printed money goes towards European and US arms manufacturers and just creates jobs in Europe and the US?

Even the billions in humanitarian support spend in Europe are mostly just housing refugees from Ukraine in Europe thus flows to landlords and supermarkets in Europe.

This war in Ukraine is costing us pennies for each dollar that Russia is wasting in the blood fields of Ukraine.
In tech, consultancy usually last between 3 months and 18 months, so one can have many consulting positions of under 2 years.
Meh. I think that's backwards. The US has a strong military because of its economic success.

Same with China. Get rich first then buy guns.
A simple Google search returns https://github.com/oapi-codegen/oapi-codegen

I get wanting to be productive and gravitating towards patterns you’re familiar with but in the end it’s all bloat. http can do routing and patterns and cookies and sessions. database/sql can do your DAL work. uuid (various implementations) work for user/tenant uid+oid obfuscation. JWT libs for auth. You can literally json.unmarshal your config for your whole application or use godotenv to use environment variables. template/html for views. Golang has batteries, it’s just you don’t know what you don’t know so you expect a certain perspective that isn’t how we do things. Like joining a new company, things are different here. If you spent some time to learn the “go way” you’d realize that you don’t need the bloat, you just need the structure. The “where I expect it”.
> That should be an immediate layoff for the ceo and his team

Maybe not quite that, but investors and the board (hah!) should ask really hard questions about how they got there.
Yes. Just need to protect speech by an gov official on gov topics. As in no lying.
The US government has been spending $4 for every $3 it takes in.

Hey Warren great job on the site, but what you'll need to do is SEO. You're a great writer so all you need to add to your writing skills is SEO. I did a basic SEO audit of semhub.dev and you have no SEO. While this is niche you'll need to add a blog to your website and use basic SEO keyword research to find what your target audience is searching for instead of just blogging to blog. Start reading https://backlinko.com/seo-basics-for-beginners and you'll be well on your way. It should take about a year for you to get some good traction. Don't rush, just keep learning more and more everyday and you'll get there in a few years with organic SEO alone. The comments here alone are proof that you have a viable MVP.

It doesn't help that the tech sector is falling in line. Spearheaded by Musk who is still glorified my many in the industry, other tech giants are following suit. Meta, Google, Amazon, nobody dares challenging the new US order and is playing along. This is really where the HN crowd should realize how much they are involved in this. Tech was one of the bullwarks against right wing fascist takeover. Not anymore, they are playing along. It's going to be dark.
No, it is correct.

Interesting concept!

I see in the debug log that you skip images that exceed 0.5 MB, but some bigger ones actually get through. I guess you increased the limit but didn't update the debug message?

For large images, there are often also resized versions available, it might make sense to use those.
We've known it is intentional since Cambridge Analytica at the latest.
why do you want the war to end? is it just a moral calculus of lives lost? how can you be sure that ukraine capitulating to russia will lead to less lives lost than one more year of war? 100,000-600,000 people died in the occupation of iraq, why do you think that a russian occupation of Ukraine will be less bloody?
I think it's the issues in "Go plus a few simple libraries". Frameworks come with all the extra features built in. If I need rate limiting, I can just open rate limiting docs and add it to my route, there is no need to search some library or blog post on the "best way" to implement rate limiting middleware in go.
For everyone complaining about the cost: Try Aider instead. You can easily limit the context and keep costs down.

A coworker tried both and found Code to be 4x the cost because it doesn't easily let you limit the context.
yeah... I'm seeing a big sentiment change on "don't just use Redis because other people do here!" but I'm not really seeing "do light/quick distributed things this way instead ___"
I agree, but I look at it like trying out for an athletic team.

Once you're on the team, you are mostly practicing plays, doing clinics, and simulating competition, but to get on the team in the first place you have to prove your general fitness by running, say, a 6 minute mile.

You may not be able to do that again easily right away once you've been on the team for a while because you don't practice running for pure time at that distance, but it's a level of fitness you should be easily able to obtain again if you had to, and it's a very useful benchmark to a scout.

When you're laid off, it's time to start doing that "roadwork" again. It will be a bit hard at first in practice, but if you've been a solid contributor, you should be able to get fit enough again to prove that.
Dang, me too.

I think we did that experiment in November, and it doesn’t support your assertion that people suddenly turn into rational performance evaluators after the election (or in this case an entire first term).

In any case, this time around the likelihood is Trump will be long dead (of natural causes, I mean) before the impact of this election is realized. The change happening right now is generational in scale. The voters’ children will be reading this chapter in their history book and asking what on earth they were thinking.
Use Aider to keep the costs low. You can explicitly tell it what files to use.

The closest I've seen to a class consciousness in America in recent times was the brief unity shown in response to the killing of Brian Thompson. People from both sides of the politcal spectrum who had suffered due to the Health Insurance industry didn't want to condemn what had happened, or outright supported it. I can fully understand how some people would be terrified by the current political divide being relaced by a genuine class divide.

It would be very interesting to understand the chain of cause-and-effect that led to Reddit implmenting this policy, and directing it specifically (it seems) at posts related to Luigi.
How many more billions do we need to send to ensure Russia loses? Any how many more years will it take?

Taking the study at face value, it only says that competition among HFT is bad. It also specifically admits that "As market-makers, they can update their price quotes fast when news arrives and provide liquidity to the market. In this case, the low-frequency traders in the market – the investors – benefit from lower transaction costs". In other words, at best it's advocating for some sort of monopoly for HFT, rather than getting rid of HFTs entirely.
I don't think that would solve the problem. Most people get their news from a specific biased source (or group of sources), not the government itself. And how that government message is explained varies by source.
> Is there even a remote possibility that a nuanced, truthful organization that covers global events could even get funded and exist?

I think it could. But it must be funded by readers and not accept outrageous donations by elite people. This is as to not create a potential dependency.

In reality, though, people will never pay for news (and will rarely even pay for magazines) and they need their dopamine hit.

To truly be unbiased, I believe that it must also be "slow journalism".
I've never seen people leaving great jobs for a 10% raise. It's always something else: a much bigger benefit, or a significant downside of the current job, which are not widely publicized. Instead, I've seen people going to a lower-paying position for a more interesting job, a chance to learn new hot thing hands-on, a different set of responsibilities, etc.
I can't get past the second paragraph, where he introduces "Chiang's Law." I click through for the definition:

> This law can be stated compactly as: science fiction is about strange rules, while fantasy is about special people.

Anyone who believes that has not read much of either. And the writer admits this immediately:

> Whether the story is about spaceships or dragons is irrelevant.

I have a hard time listening to someone who use established terminology to refer to some completely orthogonal concept, in a context guaranteed to cause confusion, for no reason except to snipe at a genre they don't like, for reasons they know are neither fundamental to nor unique to that genre.

That is the goal of continuous news. But one can easily sidestep that with a newspaper or weekly news magazine.

Which is more than sufficiently often. With extremely rare exceptions you never need more current news than that.

There are still plenty of ways to go wrong with that. But there is no value in getting news 24/7, and you can assume that such news is there to entertain rather than inform.

AWS and Azure have regional data centers in each one of the countries. Data in EU stays in EU. The CAPEX risk is entirely borne by US companies while being operated by locals following local laws. These states can easily nationalize these data centers if, say, US does something really bad to them. So the geopolitical risk for using AWS or Azure seems low to me.
So, move the goal posts. If you are doing it, and you are, turnabout is fair play. And with lives at stake (I can give examples) you’ll understand that he might get some shit done and yeah that is not perfectly comfortable for everybody, but maybe, just maybe, he is in there with a better view of the situation than you and I have.
You're so close! But you've got the conclusion backwards. People enjoy Musk's trolling because the culture has become so sanitized. There is a reason corporate HR departments have rigid rules--legal liability, the need to keep a diverse workforce focused on the job at hand. But the whole world shouldn't be like that.

> It’s the “things they wish they could say” that’s concerning. The ideological alignment speaks for itself.

The point of trolling is to say what will provoke the target of the trolling to have a conniption.

If we want this to go anywhere, not just super computing, the first step is to get devices, useful devices, in the hands of enthusiast. That means funding projects similar to the Raspberry Pi, but for RISC-V, and perhaps mini-itx boards.

You've got to do piecemeal validation steps yourself, especially for models like Sonnet 3.7 that tend to over-generate code and bury themselves in complexity. Windsurf seems to be onto something.

That's all external scaffolding and context built around the model to keep it on track.

Haha you must be young. It's entirely possible young people will make the same choices and face the same realities I currently do. They just havent gotten to that stage yet.

Don't get me wrong - I believe life is hard for almost everyone at at least one point or another in unique ways and to varying degrees.
