These articles are kinda pointless. Every diplomat knows the score right now. Every state worth talking about is in whatever phone they want to be in. This is why the Russian ambassador memorizes code words in order to communicate with Mosc

Yes. Exactly. Thank you for sharing what I was going to share. Corruption exists where it is allowed by the people who act out of cowardice. As an aside, I've worked with plenty of academics and while I sometimes thought their research

> Some well intentioned papers share code which is hard to run years afterwards. Umm, not really? How many years are we talking about here? Because even Cobol is runnable. Sure some OS related quirks may need changing but getting the raw

(Like always, speaking just for myself here) The spam Twitter lets through is ridiculous. Is it hard to catch all offenders? Yes. Is it obvious Twitter is no where close to that? Also yes. We should have higher standards for our social netw

I used it production just fine before that. What didn't work for you? The unicode support was shoddy, but lots of other stuff worked fine. The problem as I remember it was that there were some critical tools that just were not making t

lol, are you me? Only thing you didn't mention is the importance of .git/info/exclude so my custom scripts don't distract me on a git diff.

This may sound strange to foreign ears, but I kinda like the ramshackle nature of local politics in Anglo systems. It feels more Bilbo Baggins. So long as the courts stay honest we can weather these minor outrages that crop up every so ofte

Jacques there's always been the stiff never-have-fun type floating around. They used to tell me I had to wear a suit and tie to be taken seriously in the nineties. I just roll my eyes and don't worry about it.

Yes. That's because they cost more than $300k and can only fly for ten or so minutes. If they costed 1/10th that and could fly at the very least 4x that then people would be losing their minds over these things. They are fast enou

I'm 90% sure you're telling a subtle joke, but on the off chance you're not "luddite" is worth a Google.

What does that mean? Is it broadcasting fee? I tried Googling it and I'm not sure. Anyway, Germany used to require people to join the military and kill other people. Now they don't. Progress.

Which services specifically? This is an international forum. I want specific examples and I don't think that's too much of an ask.

My bank has a mobile friendly website? I'm sure it would work on PinePhone. Either way, this is goalpost moving. I don't even need to own a bank account. OP said government.

You're right. It works better when I think "hard keyword search" than what I'm used to with DDG and Google. I tried "python super classmethod" and got here: https://legacy.python.org/dev/pe

No we aren't. I don't have to buy a phone. Yes, the apps make the border easier for Covid, but don't be ridiculous. I can fallback to filling out a piece of paper. Furthermore, I can buy an [PinePhone, Librem 5, etc] phone a

Yes, exactly. Again, if you have a good team though, they'll trust you to do the right thing from the get-go because they know you got their back.

I just tried "python convert datetime to unix timestamp" on marginalia and it came out with nothing. Kagi I signed up for the beta and I'm on a waitlist. Still nothing better that Google for me.

Eh. Manufacturing has never gone down in GDP terms. It just seems to have gone down due to layoffs as a result of further mechanization of production.

This is a bit of a nuanced topic with lots of shades of truth or context, and overall I agree with the article, but that said: Sometimes you know your team is going to do the stupid shortcut if you let them and you save them from themselves

It's really tough to air-gap these days. Are you really going to set up a perimeter where every phone, watch, and computer is dropped off before entry?

You know what? I don't care anymore. When this type of thing happens it's almost always China. Whether it's intentional malware or a lack of QA, how could one tell? They have such a reputation for both I don't know why w

Right. Well, I guess I just think the article is worded confusingly then. Because when I read it I thought "wait, it doesn't error, it waits " and I think that's an important feature.

When you own things, your benefit from them comes from your experience of them when they are in use. As you increase the number of things in your life, the average utility of them decreases. There are a few counter examples[0], but for most

There isn't one simple answer here. This is partially about shoring up Russian reputation. Partially about Putin distracting people from a Russian economy that has suffered under covid right after the state reformed the pension system.

> If pg_advisory_lock fails to acquire a lock, an error will be returned to the client. Well, I think it just blocks until the lock is released. I tested locally and checked the docs[0] to confirm. In any event, this is a cool mechanism

I can see both sides. If you're a startup that needs to be able to scale quickly if product market fit is achieved, the cloud really saves your bacon. Or is your ten person team really going to figure out how to get Postgres to reliabl

Yep. I used to love Yaml back in the day. But two things burned me. 1. Significant whitespace in a data storage file doesn't scale. Yes, eventually someone wants to dump a giant graph of data and the library breaks. 2. Intermixed conte

Two days later this kinda proves my point above. Had you asked about anything my OP there would have been 7 different work arounds or solutions offered up. But even on HN nobody cares enough about Word to really be a master at it because th
