Is there any direct source for the questionability which does not come from Israel, or from entities backed by Israel? Because nowadays, all of these “sources” which I’ve seen to be shared were clearly lying propaganda, like “they lied about what the link said” obvious lies, or shared links which were said by Israel basically. The funniest was the account whose only purpose was to show that Palestine was rich in reality, and tried to show that shops are still full with stuffs there, while clearly tried to disguise from where or when the information came. And it does only that, nothing else.

I know Japanese does not have a th sound, and I don't think chinese or most other asian languages have it, but am less sure about that. Unfortunately I lack the data needed to substantiate my claim.

with lang_sounds as ( select lang, unnest(string_to_array(ipa, null) ) as sound from world_dictionary ), totals as ( select lang, count(sound) as sound_count from lang_sounds group by lang ) select lang, totals.sound, count(sound) / totals.sound_count from lang_sounds join totals on lang_sounds.lang = totals.lang where sound = 'θ' or sound = 'ð' or sound = 'θ̠' or sound = 'z' group by lang, sound order by count(sound) / totals.sound_count

> ‘ȝ’ was used to write two completely different sounds in Middle English

Was it, though? By comparing English and Dutch you can clearly see that one of the ways this harsh "gh" changed in English is it became "y" as in "yesterday". "Weg" (Dutch) - "way" (English), "gister[en]" (Dutch) - "yester[day] (English), etc. I wonder if at the time pronouncing it as "gh" was still common and this would make using the same letter in some words much more logical.

> Neither of those are natural or forgivable, and I've never listened to a damn word Kirk said in my life

I haven't either. That's probably why I don't have an emotional reaction here. A guy was brutally murdered in public, and that's all I had to respond to.

Finding someone having mean thoughts--not actions, just thoughts and words--unforgiveable is, well, it's how you get entrenched, hateful, multigenerational conflicts like the one we're discussing.

It's hilariously depressing to imagine how impossible it would be to build something like that in the US. It's not only the fact that it's an engineering feat—it's also the fact that it was built in such a human-centric way. The cafe at the top, the light show with the water. These things are all superfluous, but make these projects exciting and add novelty which makes these areas just fun places to be. The U.S., in it's current form, could never build any infrastructure projects in such a human-centric way, because, well, we apparently have an inability to build anything at all.

Seriously, when's the last time we built something like this. The only initiative I can even think of is California high speed rail and that project just so happens to be a testament to the absolute antithesis of what I'm proclaiming.

I think when you’re young & doe eyed what is shiny & new is exciting and your wants are easily confused with needs.

You don’t need the shiniest & newest framework to tell a computer to generate some HTML & CSS with a database and some logic. And don’t have the lived experience of building & shipping to realise that only 1 in 1,000,000 projects probably ever get more than 100 sets of eyeballs so end up using much more complicated tools than necessary.

But all the news & socials will sing praise to the latest shiny tools x.x.9 release so those needs easily get confused.

> So eternal apartheid? That's what will make the Palestinians happy? When the Tamil Tigers were defeated, they were able to vote in their country. The separatists in Spain get to vote in Spain. The kurds get to vote in Turkey.

A military occupation is not an apartheid, apartheid is race based discrimination, the occupation here is citizenship based discrimination(which basically all countries have in various forms). I'm not really sure what the best solution here is, but it's probably going to need to involve some serious de-radicalization on the part of the Palestinian people and then some form of a two-state solution.

> Israel is the only country that says: do not separate and create your own state, but at the same time if you stay here, we will NOT give you civil rights.

They tried that approach already with Gaza, it backfired massively. It's pretty obvious giving the people who elected terrorists(and based on Palestinian opinion polling they would likely elect Hamas again) the right to vote in Israeli elections isn't going to lead to a peaceful coexistence.

> don't think killing Sinwar means much. Israel definitely wanted him dead but, to their national security, it doesn't mean anything

You don't think the next jackass who pitches an October 7th attack won't get second thoughts from his lieutenants when they consider that all of them will be killed, their friends and families--best case--rendered homeless, their cause set back decades, all while Israel suffers fewer deaths from the entire operation than Hamas was able to notch on its one day of glory?

Start with using your knees as a pivot instead of your feet. Then work up the count while keeping the form. It shouldn't take too long (maybe a month) if you keep it steady and soon enough you'll be doing normal push ups (starting back at a low count). You'll be surprised how quickly you can go from 5 to 10, 15, 25, 50 push ups simply by accepting your daily limits and doing them again nonetheless.

I don't think you've anything to apologize for.

I really liked the long run on sentence about the horses you pasted in. It's lyrical and preachy, maybe a little breathless. It drones and twirls like dervish

I found it broke down In my head Into verses Alternating Between a few And several syllables each And lo! I heard it sung By Bono By Jim Morrison By Johnny Cash and David Byrne Each having His own band Accompaniment Alike unto his kind.

I can't really represent it as I experienced it. But the prose really lent itself to some of the more epic pop music in my head.

It was a minute of cinema piped directly into my mind. Quite a treat. Thank you for dereferencing them!

Having said all that, it's still a cheap shot of dopamine that leans heavily on this reader to pick and layer his own poisons for effect.

I'd dare say another reader more skilled in poetry might be able to dice it into various meters and recite to different types of music.

Werner Herzog's voice, pronunciation, and pacing are fun to use to read these

Kermit the frog? Hilarious!

the fact that it allows more screen space for content is appreciated, but the way it was forced on everyone pisses me off.

You can change it in settings -> Apps -> Safari, under the "Tabs" section - "Bottom" is like what it used to be. I immediately switched to that after the update to 26, but once I realized you could swipe up from the address bar to get to the tab view, I switched back so I could get more content space.

I don't like that it's two taps to get to the share button now though.

In "distinción" spanish, the classic pair is the word for house and for hunt - "casa" and "caza" respectively. If you pronounce them the same (with an S sound), you're a Seseo speaker like (most) latin america. If you pronounce them with different sounds, one an S sound, the other a TH sound, you're a "distinción" speaker, and if you pronounce them both with a TH sound, it's the more uncommon ceceo accent, usually largely Andalusian.

> How do you get food to all of Gaza while there is raging fighting?

Berlin airdrop and pile it up at the borders from trucks for starters.

> southern areas have a lot more food

But not enough. Start there. Also, if you make food plentiful enough in the south, it will find its way north. The point, again, isn't just to starve the famine. It's also to reduce the value of food as a recruiting tool.

> How is the hostage problem resolved? How do we get Hamas to not rule over Gaza any more?

Not relevant to not starving people!

> When I ask Claude to find bugs in my 20kloc C library it more or less just splits the file(s) into smaller chunks and greps for specific code patterns and in the end just gives me a list of my own FIXME comments (lol), which tbh is quite underwhelming - a simple bash script could do that too.

I explicitly asked it to read all the code (within Cline) and it did so, gave me a dozen action items by the end of it, on a Django project. Most were a bit nitpicky, but two or three issues were more serious. I found it pretty useful!

> Buy a Doro if you just want to call.

The thing is that even the elderly want to do more than just that. Some want to be on Facebook. Some want to do their banking, especially if their PC is 17 years old and a smartphone makes for a cheaper purchase than a new PC.

A Doro or equivalent is if you literally only call (and maybe text), but even the elderly generally want to (or are functionally forced/compelled to) do more on their phones.

Unlikely, as pointed out in sibling comments the core ISA is too limited. What might prevail is profiles, specifically profiles for application processors like RVA22U64 and RVA23U64, which the latter one makes a lot more sense IMHO.

I was little little during this time and the percent of adults that owned computers was tiny and the percent who could program them was even tinier. I think its very easy to fall for "le wrong generation" narratives because they are so ego pleasing to think things only got this way recently. That people are somehow magically 'dumbed down' now.

When instead its always been like this. That certain types of people do certain things and others are highly disinterested in it, and this sort of modern 80s or 90s renaissance never occurred. It was the same tiny community of people doing the highly technical work, just like today.

This is just a feature of Castilian Spanish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_Spanis... \th\ only occurs naturally in like 5% of the thousands of human languages that have ever existed. Just because those languages are some of the most widely-spoken ones worldwide does not make the sound a commonly-occurring one in a meaningful phonological sense.

to be fair, I did do exactly as you described, and im glad I had both under my belt. But the amount of bs you can get when doing exactly that, "going back and changing a previous step" can be very annoying. Changing dimensions or previous sketches is usually fine, but anything more complicated often results in everything in your stack breaking with strange errors, leading it to just be easier to re-create the model. For many of my more complex mechanisms, ive made the entire thing three or more times

All of these teens use Microsoft Word instead of Google Word, Microsoft NetMeeting instead of Google NetMeeting, Microsoft Hotmail instead of Google Mail, etc.

I miss the times where vision was determined by substance, not charisma or other irrelevant to final result traits.

The last iOS device I owned was an iPad Mini and I basically interact with iOS now only in emulators, besides doing small things on someone's phone when their hands are tied or whatever.

To an outsider, the iPhone UX is heavily dependent on non-discoverable gestures. Some of the gestures are obvious and shared with the design languages in other operating systems, but some aren't. Some of them "make sense" once you learn them, but others feel arbitrary and non-obvious.

If I was ever handed an iPhone and asked to contact someone specific in an emergency, I'd probably end up fumbling around for a dumb amount of time. I'm sure the necessary steps are easy once you know them, the issue is going in blind not knowing them.

Having worked a job getting seniors acquainted with using desktop computers as a teen, I don't imagine the same task would be easier today with iPhones. It feels like the UX assumes you're already fluent in their language.

I think a clearer way to think about this is "at least once" message delivery plus idempotent workflow execution is effectively exactly-once event processing.

The DBOS workflow execution itself is idempotent (assume each step is idempotent). When DBOS starts a workflow, the "start" (workflow inputs) is durably logged first. If the app crashes, on restart, DBOS reloads from Postgres and resumes from the last completed step. Steps are checkpointed so they don't re-run once recorded.

Income equals expenditure. They are one and the same.

I had an endoscopy done, 15 minute procedure where they put you under. The bill came and the anesthesiologist charged $980 for those 15 minutes. And there was a gastroenterologist and two nurses in the room as well. While I understand that my life was literally in that professional's hands for those 15 minutes (i truly do get and respect that) I don't think "affordable healthcare" is compatible with billing almost a grand for 15 minutes of work. Whether my premiums pay it, or my taxes pay it, or I pay out of pocket, as long as people are charging $4k an hour, it's not going to be affordable. Simple as that.

Isnt it only the _design_ of stage manager somewhat resembles some design choices by project looking glass?

this design has also been adopted by the other OS's like windows+tab has previously (in win7 days) created a similar looking view - though it no longer looks like it nowadays.

I remember a bug/feature report for some Android ROM complaining that switching the 3-button navigation layout to have the back button on the right side, and someone mentioned that they probably wouldn't do that, since button navigation was going to be deprecated in favour of gestures anyway, so no point in putting in the effort.

The comments following that one weren't very kind. And I agree with them. I'd hate for gestures to be the only option, and find the 3-button layout option to be the saving grace saving me from dreading to use my phone. I can't imagine that option disappearing, precisely because Grandmas and the like need that option to use their phones, but the fact that there are people out there who see that option as deprecated, and not even as an accessibility option at best, scares me. That thought is the start of process that eventually ends with some critical functionality being removed and never coming back, breaking a category of device for a large group of people, in a similar way to how the X11 to Wayland migration has broken several accessibility features on Linux.

I dunno man, I migrated to the Netherlands and our digital ID is an amazing system that literally makes my life easier anytime i need to interact with something.

An open standard for the world to use for this seems like the ideal way you would want it to happen.

I also personally think we are going to need some form of digital id and hopefully some sort of attribute based credential implementation à la the DECODE project[1], where we can start raising the barrier of entry for all of these bot farms to require at least a felony in identity theft to start.

Curious what others opinions are :)

Have a look at rendezvous hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_hashing). It's simpler, and more general than 'consistent hashing'. Eg you don't have to muck around with virtual nodes. Everything just works out, even for small numbers of targets.

It's also easier to come up with an exact weighted version of rendezvous hashing. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_hashing#Weighted_re... for the weighted variant.

Faintly related: if you are into load balancing, you might also want to look into the 'power of 2 choices'. See eg https://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~michaelm/postscripts/mythesis.... or this HN discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37143376

The basic idea is that you can vastly improve on random assignment for load balancing by instead picking two servers at random, and assigning to the less loaded one.

It's an interesting topic in itself, but there's also ways to combine it with consistent hashing / rendezvous hashing.

Ytterbium, Yttrium, Terbium, and Erbium were all named after a village in Sweden that had a mine: Ytterby

We are happy that Rbium didn't become the next name of choice.

The mine closed down long ago. Today, it's a relatively expensive location for villas.

I really don't understand all the hyperbole around this bridge. It's a suspension bridge, so the relevant bits are at the pylons, which just happen to be on either side of a huge canyon. It clocks in at #14 on Wikipedia's list of longest suspension bridges, with a main span that is 603 meters shorter (2023 meters vs 1420) than the longest.

More interestingly, to me at least, is the fact that 31 of the longest 50 are all in China (as are all but two of the 24 in the "under construction or planned").

I split my push-ups usually between 50 normal ones and 50 "wide" ones to get the pecs. Do I do them correctly? Hah. Probably not half of them. I try to keep myself planked, but of course my stomach slips toward the floor sometimes. Generally just make sure you're actually using those muscles. Forget about a coach. You know if you're doing it or "cheating".

Instead of 50/wk. Try 10/day. Just from my own experience, there's a benefit to a short concentrated burst of activity on a daily basis, versus a longer one on a weekly basis.

If you came up with a rotary phone, a keypad might feel unintuitive or even difficult to learn a new technique- even though it’s faster and easier. For the first 60+ years of life for this cohort the only option was to remember phone numbers or keep records of them. The concept of not having to “know” a phone number anymore, and of a searchable contact list is pretty far out. In the past 20 years there have been plenty of people who saw no problem with what they had. Now we can push virtual buttons on glass to do things that used to take a phone call. Some people really enjoy talking on the phone. Some people need it. The fact that the smartphone is so mutable means it’s a phone new relationship with a device and its makers. Not everyone is ready to commit to that sort of relationship, and I think that is a freedom we should fight to maintain. App-only services aren’t really accessible, and says they only care about a certain kind of customer.

I am not sure why one would have to use an engine for this. A blog consist of mostly repetitive list of posts made from a single identical template. Any 10y old kid could just master it enough to write them in html directly. And pandoc is just installed in seconds from any package manager if one wants to use an even easier different markup language. Heck in age of microblogging and social medias most blogs aren't even seeing a new post every week, barely anyone is on dialup anymore[1] and those who do probably won't load images automatically, one could have all their posts in a year on a single html page and just anchor tags. This is certainly the case from the blog linked here.

A shell function is enough to call pandoc, update any kind of index (date or tag based) and an rss page really. I would hardly call that an engine, it is just an helper to not forget to update indexes and feeds.

[1] loading speed was the main reason blog engines used to split posts in single pages

> Today, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) announces a new advisory rescinding the Hatch Act advisory opinion dated May 20, 2024, and a related advisory opinion dated October 15, 2024. The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activity of federal employees while they are on duty, in the federal workplace, or acting in their official capacity. The new Hatch Act advisory opinion (the “April 25 Advisory") supersedes the May 20, 2024, and October 15, 2024, opinions in three ways.

> First, OSC will return to its traditional practice of referring Hatch Act violations by White House Commissioned officers to the President for appropriate action.

> Second, OSC is pausing the referral of cases against former employees to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) until the legal question concerning jurisdiction is resolved.

> Third, OSC is discarding the “year-round workplace political item prohibition" on wearing or displaying of political candidate or political party items in the workplace related to the campaigns of “current or contemporaneous political figures (CCPFs)." In practice, the blanket prohibition created too great a burden on First Amendment interests.

As a a javascript dev I kinda feel you and agree that the tools are moving faster than most codebases. The thing is though, you don't really have to use that many tools unless you really want to.

You can spin up a node server yourself and use web components and it will run fine probably just as long as the lua code will. It's also way easier today to just use web components and not any framework since LLMs can help you speed up the development.

I can agree it happens, but i wonder if it will not eventually destroy these platforms as users are turned away? Even if there are no better platforms to turn away to (say no better social media now that FB, TikTok, and X are all shit), just stop using any at all? There's nothing that forces anyone to use any social media, and same is true about virtually any online service.
