Nonsense. There is already about equal distance to Moscow from Latvia, a Nato and EU member, as there is from Ukraine. Despite, Ukraine was not really ever even close to Nato membership to start with. Western political alignment is complete

Putin's Nato card is a ruse. The European part of Russia was actually mostly surrounded by neutral states, only sharing border with Nato in Norway and the Baltics before the war. Now Putin might be even turning formerly neutral Nordic

That sounds like a felony abuse of Python. Despite, wasn't perl originally a tragic attempt at such language? :)

Indeed. Unlimited remote option with no pressure to attend the office works the best for everyone . We had this already pre-Covid due to being a distributed team between two cities.

My experience is almost exactly contrary. At home, I get a "guilty" feeling if I don't work 100% effectively for the whole day. At the office, I never felt pressured to "code" the full eight hours, as I could see no

Flags are extremely powerful national symbols. Many countries have laws criminizalizing defacing the national flag. For example India: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevention_of_Insults_to_Natio... US: https:/

Whoa, that is indeed a really bad approximation. The site notes that all the flags are forced to 4:3 so many of them need to be retouched (few real sovereign flaga are in this ratio). But that's just really bad approximation - the sun

Please correct me if I am wrong but you control your Google Workspace domain, am I right? There's no need to change your email address, and reading Google's documentation it seems like you can also keep your Google account: https

Yes, and Hacker News calling it "killing for existing customers" is ridiculous. No service or access is being "killed" here - they are simply asking to start paying for it like everyone else.

Yup, this article actually inspired me to plant elderberry to my garden come spring. I once bought a bottle of the cordial from a store and it is the best juice I have ever tasted. Only downside being it's quite expensive.

You understand the power dynamics here wrong. You pay your ISP for unfiltered and uncensored internet access and your ISP wants to provide this to you. YOU are the ISP's paying customer. The fact that there are 3rd parties like recordi

The ISP happily routes all IP traffic. Their court-sanctioned solution was just blocking their default nameserver from giving any records for thepiratebay.com. This can be easily circumvented by editing your hosts-file, using some other DNS

There are important considerations for the correct use of the elderberry that this article omits. The roots, unripe berries and seeds are poisonous.

Another good reason to run your own private DNS resolver is censorship. I originally set it up after my ISP was sued to block access to thepiratebay.com. The court was satisfied that a DNS blackhole was good enough..

Pretty sure at the point you have over a billion(!) installs, even Google affords some leniency towards its Play Store policies. Or at least we are about to find out anyway.. Meanwhile, indie developers with smaller user base are subject to
