Don't drive into a mall parking lot, or use visa card, or ....

The downside is they will keep hitting you with that hammer :(

Could it be they are saving their airforce in case of western involvement?

Of course now Russia is itself under economic siege. This doesn't seem like a winning approach for Russia.

> But at least they will make some more money will doing so - and might even afford to save a buck or too, and eventually look elsewhere.

Yeah, I hope so. Maybe someone will come up with a better idea later.

> Their security features are awesome.

The certainly implement a layer of security on top of email, but as always the weakest link defines the strength of the chain. How often can you use these extra security features, given the capabilities of your peer? Back in the PGP days, I think I was able to send a real (not just some test email) encrypted email less than 5 or so times? I can't imagine things have gotten much better since then.

Edit: not saying to give up, but perhaps email just isn't a good choice for secure communication. I've had lots of success with Signal for example.

As an engineer, I have many privileges. Two that stand out here are salary, and the power dynamic I enjoy with my employer. I am well paid, enough said. I also am not beholden to the whims of my management. I can take time off, they need me to be happy, I can effect change on my management as they can effect change on their subordinates.

High pay is great, but to a point, I place a higher value on the dignity that I enjoy in my employment.

> Inflation-adjusted minimum wage imposed to all businesses/states.

I can't say I have a better idea here, but the whole concept of a minimum wage seems like a problem. It strongly implies that there are a large class of jobs where the employer has all of the power, and does not have to compete to attract employees. Also strongly implied is that minimum wage workers do not have an alternative means of supporting themselves.

Practically speaking, raising minimum wage regularly should help keep workers out of poverty. Still, these people will still have to contend with employers that treat them like commodities, with no real alternative way to support themselves.

Lots of confused beginners in this thread. IMO diagrams, and tutorials, that take this approach to teaching git are the reason people have such a hard time. After learning the very basic commands, the next step is to learn the internal data structure of git at a conceptual level. This may seem like a bad design to some, and that is a reasonable thing to debate. It doesn’t change the reality that knowing basic git internals makes git much easier to use.

I use a similar setup. The VPN is needed because it is the only port accessible outside my network. Wireguard is easy to setup right, and I already need it for accessing other stuff on my home network.

Spent some time reading through the networking stack, scheduler, synchronization, and networking device driver. It was a total breath of fresh air to read code in this area that wasn't a total spaghetti of years of maintenance and feature creep. Really happy to see a project like this!

Operating systems are a fundamental part of the experience of using a computer. Let me expand on that a little. For most of your tasks, it won't matter too much which OS you are using. The web browser is largely equally well supported on all platforms, as are editors, compilers, etc. Where the operating system becomes a fundamental experience is around the times when things start to go wrong in some way. What happens if you are missing an important tool? What happens if you encounter some bugs or other instabilities? What about when you need security updates? What if you don't like how windows maximize?

These error conditions are where operating systems differ so greatly from each other. On one end of the spectrum you have open source operating systems. When you encounter some error condition, you spend your time researching solutions. In the extreme, you modify whatever isn't working to your tastes on your own. On the other end of the spectrum you have fully locked down operating systems like iOS. Here when something goes wrong, you instead decide how to adapt your use of the device to avoid whatever issue you encountered.

What happens when things go wrong is what drives me to one OS or another, and is usually what is relevant in these discussions.

Yeah, but how are you supposed to bike in-place with your bike while still going faster than 15 mph??

I'm a 6'6" dude and I feel your pain. Every time I get company swag, the best they can offer me is a super wide belly shirt :(

Dumber than average shouldn't mean illiterate.

Aye matey

> Is it still "piracy" if you pay for the service, but torrent the video in question in higher quality?

Of course it is. Whenever you have these question, just ask what you think a mustache twirling characture of a villain would do and you will have your answer.

s/rebutting/renting?

Its a few days because you can rent digitally just before you buy it. Back in the Hollywood Video days, you also had to make a special trip to the video store. Often this was done days in advance.

Try looking up “Beginners Mind”. It’s a concept from Zen Buddhism.

Taylor did a great job

Oh good. I’m glad that was just a wooosh.

As a non-serious user of Go, this was something I found to be a negative. What am I missing?

The crime here would be more along the lines of selling the information that you leave your car unlocked with the keys next to your house.

My dad went through a similar transition. In his case, the world transitioned away gradually from his skill set. He was able to continue moving to new jobs that needed his legacy skill set, until eventually he couldn't find them easily anymore. By the time he was in this predicament, he couldn't find a a path to restart his education. The critical issue was employment, once he found a job, the critical issue was working and keeping that job. He didn't have the luxury of taking the time to build a new skillset.

Go itself is a huge project written in Go. What are you talking about?

WSLg for example. This was a windows 10 feature in beta. Windows 11 only at release.

>I read somewhere that Microsoft intends it to be mostly for new computers.

They are pushing developers to it as well. See new WSL features as an example.

"blinking yellow left arrow" is the same thing as not having a protected turn at all.

Technically, your email may have been transmitted in plain text over the open internet. Most email doesn't go through unencrypted connections, but it isn't guaranteed. Email also doesn't do much to establish the authenticity of the sender, at least not as part of its specification.

This is a great time to be thankful for what make HN great for me. Thanks Dang!
