I doubt those Russian assassinations were ever meant to be undetectable. Rather they were intentional spectacles, where there's no doubt in who was behind it. The goal is to make it obvious, but also deny it officially, while knowing t

My pet theory is that due to zero interest rate policy, too many startups were able to raise too much money and so they hired too many engineers that didn’t have anything really productive to do for years. So they kept reinventing wheels

YouTube's search is the worst. It's basically "here's 3 videos potentially related to what you're searching for and here's another 50 completely unrelated videos".

I can't speak to his opinions on other topics, but since the full-scale Russian invasion started a few years ago, his frequent opinion pieces on world politics started popping up a lot. They were some of the most batshit insane, genoci

No idea about the US, but I've seen European grocery stores heavily use Euro containers [1]. Empty ones are taken away in the same truck that brings new goods, so there's no extra cost in transportation either. [1] https:/&#

And non-plastic bags last forever. The oldest grocery bag that I can accurately date is from before at least 2008 and I haven't had a single one wear out yet, so no idea how long they'll end up lasting. I don't know about hem

What works quite well for iOS/macOS apps is breaking the project into a barebones Xcode project plus a Swift package that contains all of the code. SPM projects work well with VSCode and you get full auto-complete support with the offi

I've found having Netflix play in the background helps a ton. It has to be a show I've seen a few times and know the plot to, so I know what's going on without paying attention when I zone in and out of focus. Something easy

It makes tests self-contained and easier to reason about. As a side-effect, random tests won’t accidentally break whenever you change some seemingly unrelated csv file. As a rule of thumb, I also only assert on input/output values that

Reading the comment, the impression I got was that while the image quality is similar between LG 5K & ASD, overall ASD is still worth the small premium. The 27" 5K Studio Display is in a weird category, where they actually have zer

Last time I ran the numbers for this, price arbitrage alone using lithium batteries is not gonna be profitable. Current lithium batteries are just too expensive, store too little energy and degrade too quickly for true grid-scale storage. T

Given the nature of EHR systems, it's just not realistic to have trial periods, because everything in a hospital is interdependent. Even the relatively small system I worked on did everything from billing, accounting, insurance, HR, in

I'm assuming the hospitals in Norway & Finland used some form of a public tender where the cheapest solution wins. I don't think you need malice or corruption to explain it, just good intentions.
