Unfortunately it's all perspective. A sceleton crew might be good for mature projects that require very little support of any kind. If there aren't a lot (and that is subjective) of incidents and tickets from customers things migh

In the original game it is a peculiar nation that is occupied, colonised and their religion (called the Temple or the Tribunal) humiliated. The natives are in bad mood and hate the player for being an outlander (at least in the beginning).

Maybe its my teenage nostalgia but Morrowind has one of the best settings I've seen. You got Ashlands yurts, Vivec city with its canals and ziggurats, a city inside a crab mushroom towers, and other architectures. Medieval Europe is s

This is not true. The president had abandoned his post and ran away and much of the military and security aparatus was infiltrated by Russia, which left Ukrainian forces in Crimea surrounded in their bases, without orders and much of the ge

It's best practice for longer scripts. I think anything over 100 lines is better off rewritten in a general purpose language as it is bound to have the complexity they are designed to solve and it will outweight the drawbacks.

It's either defeat by Ukraine or Kursk 2. And they seem to prefer the latter, even though this is likely to be even worse given that the Moskva has five times the number of crew members. It's easy to see why they spin it this way

When I was a student in university many years ago I didn't know anyone in a new city so I decided to say hi to the whole floor in the dorm which was around 60 people. There was some awkwardness, but I actually made some friends and had

This is a paper on insurgency, not conventional wars between nations like the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This looks like a list of great ideas of what to write in a motivational letter. They could have said: "these are types of things we are looking for in a motivational letter. we've listed them to make it easier for you, but you d

Unfortunately it seems it doesn't support Cyrillic or Bulgarian well. I googled the mayor of the city I live in and there are 5 results all irrelevant. Unfortunately the experience in 'minor' languages is consistently bad in

Look for established and older Ukrainian diaspora groups in the country in question. Also many of the countries have established portals for refugees. Try to vet any helpers, unfortunately there are criminals that prey on refugees

All this talk about encircling Ukrainian forces and taking ground would have made sense if the Russians had additional echelons to continue the rapid advance while the first one sieges. Without a second and third echelon the first one will

According to Soviet military doctrine Putin can't fulfil the objectives he set for this war. Defeating an entrenched enemy requires 3-5x advantage in manpower and materiel and Russia staged less than what Ukraine currently has. The Ukr

One problem they don't mention in the article is that Ukraine and the most of the rest of the former Soviet Union uses different rail track gauges. Which means that any trains must either stop to change wheelsets or the cargo must be u

Depends on the Java application, I feel your pain if need to manage application servers, but supporting and running modern Java applications shipped as jar files or docker images is not hard at all.

The Clojure programming language was a single person effort in the first years and all of the design and implementation was done by Rich Hickey in the first version (2 years of work, not counting previous experience). He was burned out from

The official manual + distro docs are the best source afaik if you need to run in a VM or VPS. It's not too hard if your needs are simple (i.e. you don't have any complicated DR or replication requirements). First and most importa

Ukraine itself is proof of how undisruptive is lowering natural gas use as it reduced it's own imports back in 2014. Natural gas has a lot of substitutes in electricity generation and other uses, and demand will fall as prices rise (go

Oil and gas can be only a short term disruption to either Russia or Europe, because both are commodities AND have substitutes. Natural gas is a little more problematic because the pipelines and LNG terminals are a big investment, but this m

What are the requirements for your app? Which databases, email providers, caches, queue services etc does it use? I think you will be cloud agnostic if the solutions are decoupled from any proprietary cloud APIs. If you are coupled to Dynam

I agree with the take, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Sometimes you want to abstract away the cloud provider and you are willing to pay the price for that abstraction. Sometimes it's easier/simpler to duplicate a bi

This is the Politics of Eternity as Timothy Snyder calls it. The idea that we are replaying history, that Russia is in a historical cycle of victimhood, that everything always remains the same, with the same threats lurking. Just like Groun

You can log and send metrics from your app over a network (which you should probably be doing instead of writing on disk), monitor a VM, IDS makes no sense when you don't have logins and such. And the tools are rarely installed on &quo

It's like exams and Europass CVs. At some point taking exams can be a separate skill from learning the material. CVs in Europass format, force all candidates at filling a form and the CV fails at it's purpose of differentiating ca
