The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

"This is a different way of thinking, different values, a different view of the world and of their own culture. We are on entirely different pages of civilization with them, on different pages even of our basic understanding of what life is," "Fidel" said.

"They [Russians] have no concept that your freedom ends where another person's freedom begins." -"Fidel", Founder of the 14th Separate Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Regiment

The Ukrainian Defender emphasized that they plan operations to avoid losses, whereas the Russians do the opposite.

While the world seeks a path to peace, Russia responds with missiles.

The overnight attack on Kyiv shows a deliberate choice to escalate and mock the peace efforts.

Russia must stop the killing and negotiate.

I've decided to translate for you a post from the Russian Telegram channel "Nezygar" about the current state of Russian refineries and fuel market⤵️:

🇫🇷 "Putin is a predator, an ogre at our gates", – Macron

Putin has rarely kept his commitments. He has been a power of destabilization, seeking to revise borders to extend his power.

Russia has lastingly become a destabilizing force and a potential threat. We must not be naive.

August 18--A Historic Day? Will Europe's Leaders Rise To The Challenge?

Hi All, Just sent out this post about today. August 18 could be one of the most important days in modern European history. Decisions will be made and leaders will stand up or not. This cannot be avoided now--and what is decided will determine a great deal. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

With vibe coding tools going mainstream, it’s entirely predictable we’ll keep seeing many of these cases.

Eventually, the “better” vibe coding apps will patch most of these (not all!). Till then we’ll see all information leaks, security issues and trivial to “hack” such sites

Software is About Promises (to JS programmers: not that kind)

"Software Is About Promises", blog post by Bram Adams: www.bramadams.dev/software-is-...
"What are you promising your users? And how is this promise testable?" - Great questions to ask yourself when building software solutions.

Using LLMs for "smart duck" talk about coding problems, I also do that all the time.

My PR to make heapdump restricted by default: github.com/spring-proje...

Yes, it seems to be a Spring Boot app. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4403...

I guess heapdump should be restricted by default in Spring Boot, in the similar way as shutdown, docs.spring.io/spring-boot/...

The URL used had the path /management/heapdump, possibly a Spring Boot app. I never imagined that my contribution github.com/spring-proje... in 2016 would result in this disaster 9 years later. In Spring Boot, you should set management.server.port and never expose management endpoints externally.

Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms.

Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability.

Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.

Tomorrow (Thursday) you can join me, Tim O'Reilly, Addy Osmani, Kent Beck, Chip Huyen, Birgitta Boeckeler, Jay Parikh and several other tech professionals giving our take on how AI will change software engineering - but why software engineers won't be "replaced" by AI or "AI sw engineers."

Psychological safety is NOT about lack of disagreement.

Psychological safety REQUIRES:

* disagreement and debate
* setting standards for behavior and performance, and enforcing them
* telling people things they don't want to hear
* courage, from the bottom up
* humility, from the top down

Siitä voisi poimia ne hyvät asiat.

Ei muuta kuin Orpon puheille, että JULVA (julkinen vaikuttavuusvirasto) perustetaan ja laitetaan asia käytäntöön. Tie voi olla pitkä.

Toki Mikko Suomen DOGEn vetäjäksi. 👍
