The same reply, again and again... The usual ostrich policy that ignores Hamas, what they stand for, what they do, and their support in Gaza.

As I have just written peace with Hamas is not possible since their aim is to destroy Israel and remove all Jews by any means necessary. The only thing achievable is a deal for a temporary truce, which Hamas will use to regroup and rearm until they launch their next attack.

Hamas praised and claimed responsibility for the attack on Monday in Jerusalem in which 6 civilians were gunned down. That's how seriously they are "negotiating" for peace. [Israel's bombing of their "negotiators" in Qatar came the following day]

So let's really help the people of Gaza and step up pressure to rid it of Hamas. That's how this war ends sooner than later.

> Yet in the current model that doesn't matter one bit

It matters because if it's that important to you then you have a sovereign right to leave the EU and do away with all the rules you don't want

Staying inside of it and accepting primacy of EU law when decisions are lawfully taken following the process you've agreed to of your own country's free will is a choice

I think the article picks the wrong pure / impure dichotomy. Much more interesting to me is the split between people who want to abstract the application domain and people who want to engage with it. To the former, a CRUD app is a CRUD app. To the latter, CRUD is still a useful framework, but it’s just a tool that’s subordinate to a bigger purpose. Or take game dev; the decision to go deep on game engine design can be driven by your opinions about shipping versus tinkering, or it can result from having a game in mind and picking the best way to realize its mechanics. CS attracts a lot of abstract thinkers, and CS degrees reinforce the abstraction of the application domain, so I find that a lot of programmers take it as a point of pride that they don’t engage with it.

It’s probably clear where my sympathies lie here, so I’ll balance that by saying something nice about abstraction: it really can help you see the problem more clearly. It’s a great tool to avoid solving the same problem over and over again. Just make sure you’ve correctly identified the problem first!

I don't like the idea of them doing 200+ mph anywhere near me, but the Musk idea of them doing high speeds along dedicated tunnels would be quite cool if they could make it work.

But the solution to that is not making some other people disappear in order to make some room for Jews. And they have already stolen half of Palestine and turned it into their own state and that state is - despite its illegal origin - now internationally recognized and therefore unlikely to be undone. They just have to be satisfied with what they took and stop attempting to take the rest of Palestine, too.

Mmm, I don't think what you're saying is true?

I'll be honest I haven't touched Java in a long time, and I'm haven't had to extend my Clojure code this much before (but it's nice to know that I can - and use protocols with confidence)

Say LibraryA has some record..

LibraryB and LibraryC `extend-type` the record and implement additional functionality by implementing protocols..

Now you want to us both libraries in your application and use this record with both extensions. In Java this is forbidden due to diamond dependencies restrictions.

You can use multiple protocols in Java, but you can't have the protocols implemented (there are default methods but they don't have access to the Record's state)

Is there some way around this..? As far as I understand there isn't.

Furthermore, all the extensions need wrappers and need names. Nobody is doing this b/c you'd go nuts. But in Clojure it'd be a natural way to extend a library.

For instance

(defprotocol MyProtocol (foo [x])) (extend-type clojure.lang.PersistentVector MyProtocol (foo [x] (str "Vector of size " (count x)))) (extend-type clojure.lang.PersistentList MyProtocol (foo [x] (str "List of size " (count x))))

I can keep using vectors and lists as before and have new functionality. I don't need a new wrapper to think about

This is probably due to concern about legal regulations around temporarily recording someone else's voice so it can be processed for translation. After all, there is no mechanism for the person you're talking to to provide "consent", and the EU does have particularly strong laws on this.

Alternatively it might have something to do with the translation being performed in iOS, and the capability not being exposed to competitor audio devices, and therefore Apple needs assurance the EU won't consider it anticompetitive?

Or both.

Politicians will always politick, but they do not tend to be the ones who make policy in a parliamentary system like Germany of Ireland.

Ireland basically has no army, and is entirely dependent on the UK for it's defense. As such, their politicans are free to say whatever (as long as it is not against the UK) because it's not going to come back and bite them in the behind. That said, that's now changing as the UK is trying to renegotiate the deal [0][1]

Apropos, you can listen to Charlie Kirk answering that precise question, during the Biden presidency in 2021. (I assume Kirk is fairly a representative voice of the far-right movement?)

https://bsky.app/profile/chrisjustice01.bsky.social/post/3ly...

He was asked this question: "When do we get to use the guns?" "How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?" [sic]

I think it's best to watch his answer in full, and decide the nuances for yourself.

From my PoV, he agrees with the spirit of that comment. His response to "When to do we get to use the guns?" is to concede: "We *are* living under fascism. We *are* living under this tyranny" [sic]. In the context of that 2nd Amendment question about shooting tyrants, he identifies President Joseph Biden as a tyrant.

It's not ambiguous who these people think deserve to be shot.

I think it's highly remarkable that in that answer, Kirk actually never once condemns political violence. Listen to it and hear: not a word breathed to say killing political opponents is wrong, or immoral, or abhorrent to civics or American democracy, or, well: murder. His non-response is in a qualitatively different direction: he explains to the "When do we shoot them?" guy that murdering leftists would instigate a draconian law-enforcement response (by that same US government he had identified as "fascist" and "tyrannical"), and that that would set back far-right causes. That is, beginning to end, the entire substance of his response to "Why not shoot them?": fear of consequences.

It is just beyond experimental now, and finally in the early adopter phase. Those early adopters are trying things are trying to develop best practices - which is to say as always: they will be trying things that future us will laugh at how stupid it was to do.

There are still some features that are missing from compilers, but enough is there that you can target all 3 major compilers and still get most of modules and benefit from them. However if you do this remember you are an early adopter and you need to be prepared to figure out the right way to do things - including fixing things that you get wrong once you figure out what is right.

Also, if you are writing a library you cannot benefit from modules unless you are willing to force all your consumers to adopt modules. This is not reasonable for major libraries used by many so they will be waiting until more projects adopt modules.

Still modules need early adopters and they show great promise. If you write C++ you should spend a little time playing with them in your current project even if you can't commit anything.

> Over 65000 people were killed by the Israeli "Defense" Forces in Gaza since October 7th. 31% of them were children

When “roughly half” of Gaza’s population “are under the age of 18,” your statistic actually describes discretion [1]. As for total kills, the data I’ve seen on CCRs put the IDF’s actions in the precedents range of guerrilla wars.

The way the IDF is conducting the war is, unfortunately, normal. What is not normal is the restriction of food, detention conditions and Netanyahu joining the Russia/China/Turkey club (along with Trump) on throwing out international law.

> Broad statements like that are just plain wrong and aren't reasonable. Saying women were happier with the get married and have kids model denies the fact that all humans have different aspirations.

No. They are right. When you survey people, most women are happier working for their children rather than their boss. Most women feeling that way doesn't preclude other women feeling differently. Not does it prescribing a definition of happiness for women that want to work for their boss.

Honestly, they could be. Have you read those sources? Here's something I found from Amnesty International.

6.1.1 DIRECT ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS OR INDISCRIMINATE ATTACKS It lists 15 cases of air strikes which it uses to support its claim of killing/harming members of a group which is part of the definition of genocide. However, all/nearly all of them say "Amnesty International did not find any evidence of a military objective.". So it seems possible Amnesty just doesn't know the secret military information and Israel didn't disclose it to them. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Do you believe there can't possibly have been any military objectives that make those air strikes legitimate?

Paranoid time: Target him because he's notable for being willing to actually talk to the other side. Without people like him, all we have is people on both sides yelling at each other as hard as they can.

Why would someone target him? If they want more division. Maybe even if they want a civil war.

Who would want that? Maybe someone in government who wants disorder as an excuse to impose order by force. Maybe someone in Russia who wants a world order not let by America.

The US military would be the defending force, though, which would put The People at a disadvantage. Pushing through the defenses of a multi-trillion dollar military with AR-15s seems unlikely. I don't even think that China's armed forces could defeat the US military, let alone civilians armed with AR-15s

All being said, I am no military guru and I could be wrong

Oh I agree with you :) I love TUIs myself.. But we talk about Desktop OS like in TUI.. with is.. well.. hardcore :)

Most of my tools are TUI really, because its much esier to develop. Code reusability is huge. You wrote some nice interactive TList class? Cool, you can reuse it easly in other TUI projects.

Today world is a bit multitasking, so having TUI based Desktop is very limiting imo. Yeah, distractions.. Thats I think personal thing. I run old OS with 4 virtual desktops because one desktop is not really enough. Desktop 1 is generic. Desktop 2 is work. Desktop 3 is usually some Network Simulations I do. Desktop 2 and 3 usually have their own Xserver running, displaying stuff from remote servers. So, leaving GUI is not an option. Just use it smartly :)

And yeah, I use ViM ether in terminal or gViM (native Win32).

In my high school there as a mediocre science teacher who made an effort to do all kinds of technology gimmicks: computer presentations, recording audio, getting special equipment. It felt like a massive distraction and waste of time.

This teacher won all kinds of teaching awards from district, state, etc. The administration loved him.

even teaching favors the promoters over substance.

Not mentioned in the article is a year ago Bending Spoons acquired Brightcove, (a cloud platform that helps businesses manage and monetize video content), in an all-cash deal valued at $233 million.

So this seems to be something of a strategy being played out.

Vimeo was previously valued at $2.75B.

I'd love to know where they're getting the cash from. Someone must be financing them.

Recent events have proved him right, haven't they?

> On 24 October [2023, right after 7th October], Ghazi Hamad—member of the decision-making Hamas Political Bureau—explained the 7 October attack: "Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country because it constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation". [1]

We’re talking about how the ability for the public to use strong encryption is contingent on laws allowing that.

Normies won’t start using PGP. Normies will use whatever popular app their friends are on.

Those apps can have their encryption made illegal, kicked off stores, and their developers jailed. The thing protecting the developers from this isn’t the strength of their encryption, it’s the laws saying the encryption is legal.

That is certainly alarming and I am firmly opposed to what ICE is currently doing and what they've been ordered to do.

However, they are obviously keeping their identities a secret because they know if they don't, they will become targets of violence. I don't see how that can be attributed to fascism beyond the surace-level aesthetic of masked law enforcement. The mask itself says nothing about their ideology.

Secret police wear masks to instill fear into the population because they never know who's watching. ICE is wearing masks so they don't end up like Charlie Kirk.

GUIs are tough in open source because they need way more than just code. You need UX designers, testers, feedback loops, and infrastructure — stuff most volunteer projects can’t sustain. That’s why devs can dogfood CLI tools but GUIs are a whole different beast.

Even *Windows* and *macOS* struggle with this — just look at how messy *fractional scaling* is [link](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20221025-00/?p=10...).

And yet, *Linux/KDE* has been pushing GUI innovation for decades. Apple and Microsoft have copied so many KDE features it’s hard to keep track.

Those markets are very supply constrained. Despite a few recent piecemeal reforms, it's still very hard to build new housing (and it takes time to build more, with things like construction costs also becoming more expensive recently).

When supply is constrained, anything that increases demand - like return-to-office mandates finally bringing back workers who left for other states during the pandemic, or a boom in AI investment causing headcount and salary growth in a small sector that's very geographically concentrated in a single rent market - will greatly increase the price.

Slavery is evil though. It's pretty straightforward. People that participated in it were wrong to do so, and that should be self evident to all participants. I don't accept any excuse for participating in the slave trade. I'm not special or unique to point this out, it's obvious no matter the century.

Would you like to argue that it isn't? The floor is yours. Otherwise your point about consensus is moot. Evil then, evil now, evil forever.

Your first study says smartphone use is associated with conduct problems and hyperactivity in 6-year-olds; no teens or stupidity in sight.

Other studies discuss distraction, cyberbullying, bad diet/poor exercise, toddlers' sensory processing abilities, anxiety, and lost sleep. None of this covers stupidity, and much of it is not about teens.

The most interesting study you cited finds structural brain differences in preschool-aged children who spent more time on screens. It's still a stretch to make claims about the intelligence of teenagers based on the fact that babies who spend too much time on screens are, at age 3, less developed.

There's also a magnitude problem. Even if we assume smartphones do have some cognitive effect on teens, how can we know it's the only or largest one? You can't attribute anecdotes about kids being dumb to the presence of smartphones.

If you'd join any Palestine protest community you'd see that's not true.

Mobilisation for every issue is increasing everywhere, and there is strong solidarity across movements. Because the genocide support is radicalising an entire generation who then join the other movements as well.

I'm very interested to hear if you have personal experience to the contrary. However if you are not involved in anything, then you have no right to criticise those who are.

I also want to note that the genocide is only possible because of our silence on the matter.

No, they make more than one recommendation - including which partitions to make and the sizes for each of them should you opt into their separate partition path in the installer. So they have defaults for multiple partitions and partition sizes - and I trusted them to have thought them through.

Two improvements that could be made: 1) Easy: put a brief Note in the installer indicating what might fill up the partitions quickly so people can have a heads-up, do a little research, and make a better decision. 2) moderate: still keep the Note, but also check the disk size and maybe ask which type of workload (server, development, home user), then propose something a bit more tailored.

I heard that too, and it kinda makes sense, but what I also heard is that this one time price increase may not come all at once but drawn out over a longer period because some industries will eat the tariffs longer than others.

So instead of a massive inflation bump in one month you may get a sustained inflation rise over 6-12 months for example, which from the consumers POV probably looks just like higher inflation overall

> Rents would go down because deportation of illegals will reduce demand

The number of people deported is negligible. Around 200,000 people.

Despite all the news and drama, this number isn’t actually very different than normal. Any large country will have a steady stream of deportations if they enforce immigration laws. It has been like this for a long time.

Don’t believe the news and political rhetoric. Look at numbers. Do no trust any political claims without looking at the numbers.

1. Client-side scanning of the content that is externally encrypted is impossible. So if you are a criminal, you just don't share the photo, you share the encrypted file to circumvent this restriction.

2. Reliable client-side scanning of images is impossible (you cannot download illegal content to client devices for exact matches, so it will be only signatures and collisions are possible), so there will be false positives that will be reported, which will inevitably result in violation of privacy, possibly persecution etc.

I've been curious about BSD in the past -- the thing that stops me is that I like to play with software that requires containers (docker) and I'm not sure if I'd ever get used to the difference between the core gnu cli utils.

The other thing that worries me is that I've had a lot of trouble building software that mainly supports BSD from source on linux machines. I'm worried if I switch to BSD, a lot of the software I want won't be available in the package manager, which would be fine, but I'm worried that building from source will also be a pain and binary releases for linux will not be compatible. Sounds like a lot of pain to me.

I'd be happy to be corrected if these are non-issues though.

I have been excited about bun for about a year, and I thought that 2025 is going to be its breakout year. It is really surprising to me that it is not more popular. I scanned top 100k repos on GitHub, and for new repos in 2025, npm is 35 times more popular and pnpm is 11 time more popular than bun [0][1]. The other up and coming javascript runtime, deno is not so popular either.

I wonder why that is? Is it because it is a runtime, and getting compatibility there is harder than just for a straight package manager?

Can someone who tried bun and didn't adopt it personally or at work chime in and say why?

> In America, at least in restaurants, employers are allowed to pay a lower minimum wage to tipped employees. So tips are an essential part of a servers compensation and should not be considered optional.

This actually varies state by state. In Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington the minimum wage does not change tipped vs non-tipped. Also in other states if the pay after tips do not meet the state minimum wage the employer is required to make up this difference.

If you actually look at the data tipped employees make significantly more vs median income in countries with tipping than without.

> If you can't afford that, then you can't afford to eat out, choose a different option.

I think this works if we're talking about a full restaurant, If we're talking about a mostly empty restaurant then even a 5% tip is money that the server would have not otherwise had, pretty certain they'd choose more money over less.
