Zero. Russia has plenty of regular weapons to level Ukraine and big part of Europe (look at thermobaric bombs). It also has industry and resources to produce such weapons for long …

Yeah, we should put nuclear missiles to Ukraine, 200 miles from Moscow, that will teach him!!

Attach diesel generator on trailer, and charge it while moving. Some EV cars use electricity from coal or natural gas, there is no difference... Or skip battery, and use electricit…

Magnetosphere of planet like Jupiter or Saturn is the most radioactive place in solar system... Also energies (delta V) needed to travel between Jupiter moons are greater, than tho…

> building a GitHub, Okta or Auth0 clone Because it is is not necessary. Setting up something like Github onsite takes 1 hour. Network effect really is overrated. Where it hurts ar…

Kotlin folks are working on something like that. There is multiplatform UI toolkit that targets native, android, java desktop, web and who knows what. I do not remember the name (S…

I just mirror all channels locally. This way I can also control what my kids see.

There is also plausible deniability. Speech on meeting is not recorded, is vague, can be misinterpreted etc... Easy to spot, if there are no meeting minutes, transcript or any othe…

I dont want to argue about this specific case. But if direct manager promises pay increase or promotion, it is not binding or "official" as well.

But this was the first case! Very important project for legal compliance, not some sort of abandonware nobody cared about. I had enough skills to put it on track, on official assig…

Are they meritocracy? How does it go with diversity and other noble goals? The only way for highly productive individual to get fair salary is to start their own business and do co…

Really bad advice! Hard work does not pay, corporations are not meritocracy. About 15 years ago, our corporation had orphaned project. Entire team of 5 developers quit without noti…

I bet such organization would be fine with no internet. Just good old trusted newspapers and TV broadcast!

Water resistant != water proof, there is very big difference.

Not just developers, but lawyers, accountants, analysts... I think you grossly underestimate complexity of this thing. We implemented relatively simple income tax reform a few deca…

SAP can be quite innovative. I remember SAP circa 2003. The only think that used XMLHttpRequest (AJAX aka dynamic html) was Outlook web frontend, and SAP web UI. GMail that widely …

Electric heating blanket works pretty well.

Just six months ago, some banks connected to Russia bankrupted (Sberbank...). They were normal EU banks, incorporated in Austria and Netherlands, with EU bank license. There is als…

Been there, now II have 15 cards from 6 different banks. There is also problem with deposit insurance. In EU deposit in single bank is insured upto 100k euro. If bank bankrupts, yo…

I had covid, pretty mild, flu was worse. Damage from all the lockdowns was devastating. My business and marriage fall apart, lost many friends, became alcoholic and now I have hear…

I have Dell XPS 13 2015 (9350). It gets fair abuse and fell on floor couple of times. Over years I replaced keyboard, battery, charging port, bottom plate from case (display hinge …

Who would top talent work for somebody else? It is remote, but you still have to deal with meetings, HR, woke bs, egomaniac visions... And there is always a risk that startup fails…

Ok, sorry that was way too confrontational. I guess it boils down to definition of a "race". But given historical parallels, I still insist casteism is a type of racism.

Suing tech giant for racism is way more punchy, there are already laws and precedences... Educating people about "racism of a new type" is pretty complicated. Reductionist approach…

I understand casteism, I worked with indian devs for two decades. I would suggest you to read what Gandi said about negros. I have a news for you; "brown" people can be racist too.…
