Invest in the Ukrainian drone producers which proved themselves on the literal battlefield! Some of the Gulf states already did.

The demand for more Patriot missiles is large, now that much of the stockpiles have suddenly been spent. Raytheon should do fine just based on that.

Would you be fine with the ethical implications of funding the industry to fight WWII? Would you consider funding Ukrainian military unethical? Or Taiwanese? This is, sadly, not theoretical, and I'm afraid we'll soon see more of s

I ran a Debian box for my daughter when she was a toddler and a pre-schooler. She was good at selecting her favorite movies and music in XBMC, and enjoyed simple drawing apps.

Looking around, and especially forward, it would be military tech, e.g. [1], and its supply chain, e.g. [2] :-\ Valuations are not as crazy, but I bet there'll going to be a lot of demand in the coming decade, unfortunately. Chip produ

I think this is reality-distortion field rivaling that of Jobs', and a crisis of faith. Nobody apparently believes that capital is worth investing into anything but AI.

This is a great idea. It very compactly implements a barebones parental control system: a parent (with admin access) can assign an age group to a user account, and apps which care can easily check it. I think it's exactly how such a

Why, it's fine to have these values in a corporate environment: name, work email, office location. I'd be fine with an ability to store the birth date, the blood type, the zodiac sign, actually an arbitrary list of key-value pairs

Corollary: write the commit message first , implement things later! Not a joke, this is almost like TDD works. (TDD writes formal tests, which is much more involved.)

Go no farther than Futurama! Its very first episode sort of tackles the issue.

I suppose we can postpone this problem for another 100 years.

Very nice, with a few surprises!

For great many businesses way past the "hobby" stage, a managed DB + managed queue + managed cache + a few VMs under managed k8s + serverless functions is plenty enough. Given a right architecture, this could serve a million pay

Come on, this is plain wrong, fortunately. I'm subscribed to the DO newsletter; let me skim the archive. What they introduced in the last couple of years was: per-second billing, various identity providers for their SSO, managed Postgr

Unless these problems only started after an upgrade to Tahoe, I would strongly suspect defective hardware in your case.

Fingers, for instance, not only have higher sensitivity, but also much higher spatial resolution due to the more dense nerve network. I can't tell why other areas may have needed higher spatial resolution; maybe it was evolutionary imp

Why, no, deletion is possible in immutable structures, as long as nothing else references the deleted nodes. This is literally how lists / trees / any complex structures work in Haskell (and apparently in Clojure): a mutation gi

A causal link is easy to imagine. An Alzheimer's onset makes one unfit to work as an ambulance driver, they switch to a less demanding job. When, years later, the person dies, the death is not counted towards ambulance drivers.

Immutability indeed gives a lot of features to a data store, because nothing ever can go invalid. Doing anything in parallel is trivial. Caching anything is totally safe. Distributed queries can be certain that the other side did not cha

Works smoothly in Firefox. But the default key mapping is busted: fire at Alt means that it opens and closes the menu in Firefox with each press. Also, Alt + left arrow ends the game and goes back in history. Interestingly, it was more chop

Sanctioned shadow fleet takners still get arrested. With enough oil shortage, these tankers can be left alone, and the whole activity quietly encouraged. Truly, Iran turns out to be an invaluable ally to Russia.
