I'm a Russian native speaker and that's first time that I hear these term ever.

Package manager should be pinning exact versions and never updating anything unless my manifest changing. Ever.

Cooldown should be feature of dependabot/renovate/etc

Safe and socially acceptable: "war is bad and I wish it will end sooner". "We should be friends with Ukraine and/or West". "Putin was not right to start a war". "I want that Putin resigns and/or voted out"

Safe for regular person, but socially risky: "We should surrender and pay reparations" "This war is totally Putin'a fault" "Putin is corrupt dictator" "Zelensky is a good guy"

Could in theory lead to a fine and/or losing job, but mostly safe: "I support Navalny", donation to ACF or some kind of western-affiliated NGO.

Could lead to a fine and/or prison time, when it done in social media or on the square: "Slava Ukraine", Butcha fakes, Let's willingly donate to Ukraine war effort, etc

I'm writing this comment from Russia, St. Petersburg, and yes, you can be against the Ukraine war in Russia.

> Taiwan has and always will be a province of china

You know that's official position of 99% countries in the world, including all superpowers and every NATO member?

Ironically, a lot of countries with metric system calling half inch pipe a "1/2" :-)

There are operating nuclear powered ocean vessels for decades.

Much more economically feasible than battery powered ones.

Russia is operating nuclear civil vessels (icebreakers) since 1957

Actually, both. Perimeter dead hand system algorithm: 1. If perimeter have been activated 2. AND there is nuclear explosion at russian territory 3. AND there is no connection to commander-in-chief

THAN release launch codes to every local military commander.

New comment by leosarev in "Restructuring Announcement"

leosarev — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 06:23:11 +0000

I worked at middle-sized company that instituted a pay cuts, cutting all bonuses and stopping raises. After year, company lost almost every person in tech managenent and most of team leaders, their clients actively executing forking rights and no one believes in company future now.

I once heard wise words from some CEO. In harsh times, clients do not want cheaper and worse services from us. They want less services. So we are moving out headcount down, while keeping pay and even execute raises for those who stay.

New comment by leosarev in "Ruby “Thread Contention” Is Simply GVL Queuing"

leosarev — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 11:39:14 +0000

Intresting that this problem (IO-bound threads should have priority over CPU-bound threads) already solved at OS level (most OSes will give priority boost to thread that was unblocked because of end of IO operation in hope that thread will soon block with another operation).

What would it take to add refinement types to Rust?

No, we can provide proprietary scripts that install GPLed software (i.e. setup Linux machines), but can't provide proprietary scripts that install AGPL.

Dear telegram! Why you have something that resembles OAuth, but not OAuth? Please create OAuth compliant endpoint. Thank you

I'm a vendor of some packaged on-premise solution. We are using a Redis as a cache layer inside. Risk of being forced to GPL out our installer is unacceptable for us.

New comment by leosarev in "Docker Compose Isn't Enough"

leosarev — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 13:29:11 +0000

I also think that both docker-compose & k8s & helm are wrong layer of abstraction. I see a lot of people building a opinionated way to run containers and way for them to communicate with another, to request a DB or a redis.

I like to name some such attempts: - .NET Aspire - Avito Plato (home grown PaaS of ¨russian Amazon") - infrastructure layer of our ZIIoT (MES platform on top of k8s)

New comment by leosarev in "A comparison of Rust’s borrow checker to the one in C#"

> Maybe I’m bad at searching for these things, but these changes to C# seem to have gone completely under the radar in places where you read about memory safety and performance.

The reason is this changes are not aimed on average Joe developer writing C# microservices. This changes and whole Span/ref dialect of C# are aimed on Dr. Smartass developer writing C# high performance libraries. It's advance-level feature.
