> - the situation was actually very clear from the start

Which start? There are so many in that conflict.

> - Israel has been illegally occupying, enforcing apartheid, committing war crimes for decades.

So did the other sides. For outsiders, it's very hard to know what's really going on in that region; so many history, so many details, so many emotions, so many abuse and killing... It's a chain of reactions and counter-reactions which is going for over a century. Don't assume that everyone can know everything.

Israel was also very good at manipulating the Western World and building on their collective guilt. Even if a politician knew what was going on, it would have been political suicide to speak out too much about this. Even now, it's a delicate topic. And people still blindly spreading hate against all Jews, while it's mainly the fault of some factions, is also not really helping the cause here.

> - I don't hear any apology about the above

Apologize for what? At the end of the day, there are all trapped in a situation where they have very little control.

Its not like that. If anything cycling has less doping than most sports. Cycling has been very serious about doping for much longer, than most other sports. Infractions are punished very hard; a guy like Hessmann had his career paused for a year plus, while also losing his contract, even though he hadn't doped. While a tennis star get three months for a clear doping infraction. Cycling also bans more substances than the international doping authorities does. As an example did cycling banned tramadol and other strong painkillers, while other sports don't care.

You have heard much more because from cycling over other sports, because the other sports don't want their dirty secrets aired out, and you heard about the huge scandals in cycling in the 00s.

Counter-take: this is a good thing.

Seems like some people are account-sharing or scripting/repackaging to such an extent that they were able to "max out" the rate limit windows.

Ultimately - this all gets priced in over time; whether that's in a subscription change or overall rate limit change, etc.

So if you want to simply use it as intended, over time stopping this kind of pattern is better for us?

My experience with a Pixel 6:

+ Doesn't have the same compatibility issues Termux has, so I can install things like bun.js and npm packages with native bindings (e.g. database connectors)

- Can't edit text selection, which makes it difficult to copy text

- Can't paste text

- Frequently restarts and loses all progress while switching apps

I can't say much about the battery because I just haven't used it enough to tell the difference. Honestly, with all these major flaws, I usually end up just using Termux.

I hope they fix these glaring flaws soon, IMO they're a lot more urgent to get devs to actually use this than GUI support.

Nitpick: also, a more distinctive name would be nice. Right now, it's basically impossible to search for solutions to Android Terminal issues

Betteridge's law.

There have been suspicions about this for about 15 years. Yet, in that entire time, not a single road cyclist in a UCI competition has ever been found to be doing this.

Even just from a practical POV, it makes little sense. Stock road frames do not have room to even mount such a motor. You would also need a sufficiently large battery somewhere on the bike that can deliver enough power to make an impact. Examples that people have built are usually replacing one of the bottles on the frame with a battery, but that would obviously be noticed immediately upon closer inspection of the bike. Even if you can remove the battery bottle, there would still need to be some kind of cable to connect it that you cannot remove on the fly without anyone noticing while in a highly public space.

They have also been scanning bikes for years for potential signs of motors. Nothing has ever been found. So, if it does exist, someone has found a way to build incredibly tiny motors and batteries that don't show up during checks, but are still powerful enough to make a difference for a cyclist who is already pushing 400-500w or more.

The much simpler explanation is that it's a complete myth that some people keep pushing for whatever reason.

Ah, the original site is dead but I found this: https://www.omniglot.com/conscripts/dotsies.htm

The way dotsies stack remind me a little bit of Cistercian Numerals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistercian_numerals)

I am thinking about adding a little semi-hidden "Toy box" option with little experiments, incl. generative art/playthings like drawing vines during typing or a spacial writing system.

I don't think this hypothetical behaviour would change the 95th percentile or any percentiles below it, would it?

If the income of everybody above the 80th percentile dropped to be equal to the 81st percentile, the 80th percentile income wouldn't change the ones above would just be very closely bunched.

(Last time I checked the opposite was true and they got more spread out)

> Motordoping does not exist.

It does exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femke_Van_den_Driessche

Aside from allegations about Cancellara (basically that his seated attack was too strong, plus he 'moved his hand suspiciously' just before) I always struggled to find an alternate explanantion for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ideiS-6gBAc

> There has not been a single case at top professional level even though they have looked for the motors for over a decade.

Or, no-one has been caught as they stopped before the checks were brought in, as it's impossible to hide without a much broader conspiracy?

> But journalists, bloggers, and youtubers love to bring it up as a exciting story they don't need to do any work to write.

Agreed. WaPo is about a decade too late on this one.

Yeah its a horrible situation, and I too am grateful I wasn't Netanyahu on Oct 7.

> If somehow I quantum-leapt into Netanyahu (shudder) on Oct 7, I'd tell the military to not bomb civilians indiscriminately.

They didn't bomb civilians indiscriminately. But they also didn't hold back when Hamas used civilians as human shields. (Eg Hamas put military bases underneath hospitals).

Would you have held back, even if meant more of your soldiers dying? Even if it meant you might not be able to behead Hamas, or bring your people home? (Leaving Hamas alive means risking October 7 happening again.)

FWIW, I don't think there's any right answer here. Just lots of wrong answers. Its weirdly symmetrical - the Palestinians also - only - had lots of wrong answers in reaction to the encroachment of Israeli settlers. The whole situation is horrible.

But Pi seams to be a property of the universe, because it's occurring in a lot of statements about behaviours of the universe?

There is a longing in people for love, happiness and justice which seams to be universal through the earth population? And people think they would like it if the world was more like that, so they try to influence others so that it is more like that, what's wrong with that? Some people conclude that there must be an origin for that desire outside of humans and that gets the name god.

So I don't know what you mean? Where do you conclude from that this is not real?

That's trying to find a technical solution to a problem that is not technical.

The sad truth is that law enforcement doesn't have the resources to go after a huge chunk of the cases - particularly before anything serious happens.

For this reason giving them even more power won't markedly increase prevention, but will introduce more cases of people abusing said power. Ultimately the government is run by people, and people are fallible:

In 1947, arabs refused the UN partition plan and decided to wage war against jews ( which accepted that plan) to remove them from the map. They were 100% certain to be able to do so, and nobody bet a penny on the jews winning at 1 vs 10.

They never stopped trying to do so since that dat, with the latest example being 2 years ago, on october 7.

Now you can try to blame it on the jews on X, but HN is an educated forum. Those kinds of arguments won't fly here.

I think the dynamic part is where the clauses themselves are optional. For example, say you have a data table that a user can filter rows using multiple columns. They can filter by just `first_name` or by `birth_date` or both at the same time using AND / OR, and so on. So you’re dynamically needing to add more or less “WHERE” clauses and then it gets tricky when you have to include placeholders like `$1` since you have to keep track of how many parameters your dynamic query is actually including.

You are forgetting the Natufians, residing in the Levant from 15,000 to 11,000 BC. Should we revive the Natufian identity and claim the land ? They are the OG Levantians after all.

> And the behavior of those participants in the Compulsive category couldn’t be explained away as laziness or poor motivation; it was a failure to integrate knowledge into action. The researchers made a point of asking what was behind those choices.

“We asked participants what they thought was the best strategy, and they often described exactly what they were doing – even when it was clearly the wrong choice,” said Jean-Richard Dit Bressel.

That sounds very much like a symptom of NPD.

I was reflecting on the whole chat apps and protocols the other day and felt we might just have trapped ourselves artificially.

If I want to casually keep in touch with a friend, I am supposed to have the following options:

- SMS/RCS: no need for an app but is controlled

- WhatsApp: no good to many reasons

- Signal: how can you believe it is not controlled once it becomes the mandatory app in the US Gov.

- Matrix: great but you need to self host a server, create accounts, etc.

- SimpleX: very interesting, but centralised and I feel it might just be the next Signal. Might be a solution since you can exit at some point by self hosting a server and I guess have alternative implementations.

- Delta chat: great but I guess email fall into the mass surveillance target.

Now most people do not have crazy security requirements and just want to be able to send a simple text message to a friend and be notified instantly without participating in mass surveillance. So why even using a formal Chat app that will be target by a regulation like Chat Control or kicked out of the App store?

Something like Gotify [0] or ntfy [1] are almost enough for most users. It has the whole free from Google and Apple push notification system figured out. You would just need to modify a bit the app to exchange keys with a QR code for individual topics (that you would use as contact or groups).

In a way we just need MQTT servers, a client with reliable push notifications and a manual key exchange mechanism. That would be really hard for govs to target.

Neat. I mostly play Discworld MUD, which isn't very often due to small kids these days. It's a good all-rounder, has both fine grind and massive amounts of quests, exploration and crafting. Over the years I've become friends with many screen reader users there, and some of them were the fastest hunting group leaders I've seen.

I would probably show up in their metrics as an active user and one of the 95% but I barely use the product. I have a Pro subscription which I use for personal projects but I do very little, maybe using it once a week for a short session. At work I use Cursor via a corporate account.

I imagine there are lots of people like me who have a subscription to be aware of the product and do some very light work, but the "real" users who rely on the tool might be badly affected by this.

Not a rumor anymore! Got this in my inbox (I'm a Pro subscriber):

Hi there,

Next month, we're introducing new weekly rate limits for Claude subscribers, affecting less than 5% of users based on current usage patterns.

Claude Code, especially as part of our subscription bundle, has seen unprecedented growth. At the same time, we’ve identified policy violations like account sharing and reselling access—and advanced usage patterns like running Claude 24/7 in the background—that are impacting system capacity for all. Our new rate limits address these issues and provide a more equitable experience for all users.

What’s changing:

Starting August 28, we're introducing weekly usage limits alongside our existing 5-hour limits:

Current: Usage limit that resets every 5 hours (no change) New: Overall weekly limit that resets every 7 days New: Claude Opus 4 weekly limit that resets every 7 days As we learn more about how developers use Claude Code, we may adjust usage limits to better serve our community.

What this means for you:

Most users won't notice any difference. The weekly limits are designed to support typical daily use across your projects. Most Pro users can expect 40-80 hours of Sonnet 4 within their weekly rate limits. This will vary based on factors such as codebase size and user settings like auto-accept mode. Users running multiple Claude Code instances in parallel will hit their limits sooner. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in Settings. We take these decisions seriously. We're committed to supporting long-running use cases through other options in the future, but until then, weekly limits will help us maintain reliable service for everyone.

We also recognize that during this same period, users have encountered several reliability and performance issues. We've been working to fix these as quickly as possible, and will continue addressing any remaining issues over the coming days and weeks.

> dynamic query building

it's not (really) addressed by sqlx (intentionally), in the same way most ORM features are not addressed

but to some degree this is what is so nice about sqlx it mainly(1) provides the basic SQL functionality and then let you decide what to use on top of it (or if to use anything on top).

If you need more e.g. the sea-* ecosystem (sea-query, sea-orm) might fulfill you needs.

(1): It can compile time check "static" queries (i.e. only placeholders) which is a bit more then "basic" features, but some projects have to 99+% only static queries in which case this feature can move SQLx from "a building block for other sql libs" to "all you need" to keep dependencies thinner.

Definitely didn't work for my carbon bike. It's annoying because sometimes those are put in place on very minor - major road crossings and those are dangerous to cross on red light (and the minor roads are exactly the ones you want to be on the bike). I had 2 of those on my usual loop when I lived in Poland. Sometimes I just waited for a car but especially on weekends I needed to risk it and run the red light as otherwise I would be stuck there for a few hours.

they never really needed it because their allies already got all the data but with UK out of the EU and US proving less reliable / more volatile ally its more important for them to have their own source of intel.

though, because lawful intercept is also a thing in EU, its stupid to assume they do not already have access if they want it.

despite not having 'dragnet' surveillance , they have effective and deep targeted surveillance and laws that allow them to do that fairly freely.... (most countries are more strict with their own citizens, but then its handy to have allies to do it for u -_-... wonderful world!)

Just to clarify for others reading: Statens Serum Institut (SSI) is a government agency, founded and primarily funded by the Danish Ministry of Health. It’s not a private company profiting from vaccines. In fact, SSI sold its vaccine production business in 2016 to AJ Vaccines and now focuses on public health, disease surveillance, and research.

The claim that their “salaries come from vaccine profits” is simply false. While they conduct vaccine-related research and some of their funding comes from competitive grants, their core operations are state-funded. Saying "Primary funding source: None" in a paper means no external funding for that specific study, not that the authors are secretly paid by pharma.

It’s important to hold science accountable — but misrepresenting basic facts about an institution’s funding just spreads confusion, not clarity.

You appear to have ignored everything I said. I hope you don't mind if I return the favour.

I'll just end by saying that, to me, Israels actions in terms of Gaza over the last 2 years mean I do not differentiate those who carry out the actions from Nazi's (dictionary definitions). And that applies to those who support those actions. I've worded this carefully so you know that I do not refer to all Israeli's, because I don't. But it probably applies to you.

> Deadlock-Free: This one is easy because Pony has no locks at all! So they definitely don’t deadlock, because they don’t exist! This really annoys me every time I read Pony description. What does deadlock free even mean here? Deadlock-free is typically the property of an algorithm, not a language.

Does pony guarantees forward progress in all cases? Does it means that if I tried to implement a python interpreter in Pony it will statically reject the implementation? Requires me to submit a proof of deadlock freedom with any program I feed the interpreter? Or any python program running on this interpreter is magically free of deadlocks?

edit: as an aside, deadlocks have little to do with locks.

Partly. But it isn't necessarily Xenophobia. Those who have different cultures happen to be typically immigrants, but not always.

e.g. In Northern Ireland (and parts of Scotland) there were clashes between Protestants and Catholics. I used to see them all the time on the news when I was a kid. There are two distinct groups (both Christian) that have not co-existed very well historically. I don't know if you would call them different cultures but they are distinct enough to cause a schism.

If you have immigration into one country. These people with different cultures, have different values. That creates a schism between them and the natives.

e.g. You can see this in Spain between British Expats and Spanish Nationals. The British Expats essentially live in particular areas and they are their own subculture in Spain (I know I was one). I lived the entire time in Spain learning nothing more than being able to order Beer, Lunch, Taxi and working out how to use the automated bill payment machine at the BBVA.

Not sure about the laptop with spyware, that's mostly illegal, though some security software could easily be used to spy on users if the company ignores the rules.

A lot of the stuff the government registeres about an individual is required to ensure that things runs as smoothly and efficiently as they do, even if Danes will frequently complain that the government is anything but smooth and efficient. There was always an understanding and laws protecting that data from being misused. Those rules have slowly been eroding over the past 20 years or so, by increasingly zealots politicians seeking to be "tough on crime and misuse of government services (i.e. brown people not working and living on social welfare)".

Illegal access to information about citizens are pretty frequent, yet our politicians don't seem to ever wanting to back down from collection and analysing data. They are either not smart enough to see the dangers or they are deliberately attempting to create a surveillance state.

All this is of course bullshit. The only response that would have a chance of succeeding would have been if most websites collectively just blocked everyone from the UK. Imagine if 60-70% of the internet just stopped working for UK People. The law would be toppled tomorrow.

Every Company that implemented any compliance is a traitor to the free internet and should be treated as such.
