These were USA's 12 demands from Iran, and this is Iran's response[2]. Iran has sort of colonized Iraq and Syria, similar to how it has control over Lebanon using Hezbollah. IRGC even recently announced Syria as their 35th province. This video from 6 yrs back captured from a killed Iranian Journalist in Syria gives a clear picture of IRGC's actions in Syria.

https://youtu.be/ZI_88ChjQtU?t=868

I have linked the video at a timestamp where an IRGC soldier says how the Arabs who are living in that village aren't humans, but watch the whole video, it is good. So what is happening is Iran/IRGC is using the Shia identity to get poor and oppressed Shia people from Afghan/Pakistan with a promise of citizenship in Iran, to wage a war against Arabs and Israel. There is also a war going in Southern border of Saudi with the Houthi of Yemen, supported by Hezbollah/Iran[1]. So Saudi and Israel are concerned with this, and using their support from the current Trump administration, they are trying to get Iran to act.

mod_perl had the issue that it had hooks deep into the webserver, which wasn't "shared hosting safe" mod_php had less hooks and some basic cross-vhost-access mitigations (Safe_mode oben_basedir etc.) which allowed independent users to put PHP scripts on the same server, which in turn made web hosting cheap.

> choosing a boundary around certain places as within it and outside it is very arbitrary

Drawing an exact boundary is not possible, but is also not necessary. If you are trying to argue that every single country in the world today embodies a roughly equivalent version of the traits of "Western Civilization", then we evidently don't live on the same planet and there's no point in further discussion. And if you acknowledge that there are significant differences in cultural traits, that it is meaningful to describe certain countries as part of "Western Civilization" due to certain traits, and others not, then what's the point of quibbling about the boundary not being exact down to the last atom?

> So you're saying that state-sponsored non-interference in people's beliefs is an important element of western states

No, I'm saying that the state simply not interfering in people's beliefs is (supposed to be--again, it's hard to tell these days in many western countries) an important element of western states. The state doesn't have to "sponsor" non-interference; it just has to not interfere. (And this whole idea that the state has to "sponsor" anything significant in a society is also not supposed to be part of Western Civilization.)
This is a peculiarly common missing feature of online social networks, including several I've been closely associated with..

My suspicion is that it would tend to reveal the thinness of actual coverage. That outside a few hubs (mostly major costal cities), the social graph is quite sparse.

It might also enable advertisers to bypass paid advertising targeting, or (especially for ad-free networks) attract spam. On Mastodon, sex-worker-friendly nodes spam the hell out of locality-based hashtags to the point that default instance blocking is required, and sex work seems particularly prone to this. Location is secondary only to intent. Excessive legibility can be a vulnerability.

The principle alternatives seem to be local or personal groups, though those are weak substitutes.

The B-52 had this as well. It was used to augment thrust for takeoff, especially on hot days.

It was as simple as pumping water into the compressor stage, cooling the air after the compressor had heated it. This allowed more fuel to be burned without melting the turbine stage. I think the extra mass of the water (steam) may have helped as well.

This is where the terms "Dry Thrust" and "Wet Thrust" came from.

Why? The model is wrong. There are always going to be severe bugs in deliberately complicated software. Hiding them behind terms that pretend the issue is about responsible disclosure is much more harmful in the long run because the real problem does not get fixed. Instead, due to a dependence on bad software, the problem can be used to attack speech.
I love Japanese entertainment. I'm not a native speaker of either, but I often use English subtitles with Japanese audio, because my English is better than my Japanese. As a result of having both languages in front of me at the same time, I often notice when translators take liberties and sometimes even rewrite entire personalities of characters, and it has always annoyed me a lot.

This article was great for helping me understand the motivations for localizing stories and characters (instead of simply translating them). I certainly don't blame the author (and other translators) for trying to provide the American audience with what they think is the best possible experience. But for anybody who isn't American, the localization might be entirely wasted - there's a good chance that they're just as familiar with Japanese culture and history as they are with American culture and history.

What's worse, in cases where the localization is wildly different from the original, the audience probably doesn't have any way of knowing it. It would be fair to tell the audience when the localization is inspired by or based on the original, instead of a direct translation of it. Otherwise, consumers can be misled to thinking they like or dislike a certain writer, while in reality their opinion is based entirely on a translator.

Slightly related: in Final Fantasy XIV, a character in the main story was COMPLETELY changed for the English version of the game. Playing in Japanese, I grew quite fond of the character, so when the character eventually died in the story, it had an actual impact for me. A friend of mine plays the same game exclusively in English, and when I discussed the death with him, he told me that this character was completely forgettable for him and he didn't even really remember the circumstances of the death. I'm fairly certain that the lack of impact for him was entirely because of the localization.

I dabbled in PHP to create a blog[1], learnt C at work in the meantime, stumbled upon (F)CGI and am in the midst of (voluntarily) redoing my blog in C.

Does anyone have any links to a nice FCGI library? The official site went down ages ago AFAIK, and whatever I have[2] isn't working out of the box, at least not on Windows...

(Yes, I have a Linux server and I will deploy the FCGI on it too, but I develop on a Windows machine...)

Apart from improved insulation I don't think there's been much in the way of improvements since the late 30s --- if you look at the hermetic systems, they haven't changed much in decades.

In fact, the newer "environmentally friendly" refrigerants are less efficient than CFCs... so it's sort of a tradeoff between risking more ozone depletion when they leak, or putting more CO2 into the atmosphere from the higher power consumption...

Answer me this: what is, really, the difference between bias and knowledge?
It won't be faster, but could be fast enough™.

Mind also: With a CGI process for each request the process has to be created, program loaded, runtime linked and executed. With any semi-modern PHP setup the PHP process is running already (be it mod_php, fastcgi, fpm, ...) and the "compiled" version of the script is in memory ready to be executed (opcode caching) thus PHP can win in startup time.

If you then out the heavy calculation in a C extension module you get simple templating around it in quite fast.

Future versions of PHP might also receive some form of a JIT (experiments are well progressing) an ideal JIT might even beat a C program (as it can compile to the specific CPU and can analyse and optimize the hotpath; see also hotspot and similar Java runtimes) PHP won't be there (as the jit has to call too often into PHP runtime) but there's room for future iterations.

That's not my mentality at all. I understand technology can be lost and forgotten.

In this case, I actually think the naive mindset is the one that assumes, more durable is better. No, more durable is more durable. Is static typing "better" than dynamic typing? No, it's a different tool for a different task.

I think one of the overlooked things of the process-per-request CGI scripts we ran back in the day is how you might run out of PIDs. I remember this happening once, but I think(50/50) it was because the PID was a 16-bit value at the time and the system and an uptime of about 6 months.

This is definitely in the same vein as http://boringtechnology.club/ After several years of drinking the client-side kool-aid, I've come to realize that it almost never has a positive ROI. On top of the false premise that it "makes pages faster", it doubles the cost of the entire pipeline/stack, it doubles the amount of documentation that needs to be read/written, and it doubles the statefulness of the app, amongst other things. Maybe under the best conditions by the most knowledgeable devs, client side apps could be impressive, but your typical company doesn't have those resources.

Startup Says It’s Changing Eye Care for the Better. Others See It Differently
I may hold an extreme position here. I believe sanction is always a bad idea. I grew up in a formerly sanctioned country, Vietnam. Life was rough for normal people. They become increasingly attached to their sanctioned regime. The US sanctioned Vietnam mainly because it took down a genocidal regime. Sanction is not an effective tool for change.

The right way to move the world forward is to lead by example, to become the society that other countries want to emulate.
> Accommodation pricing is typically set by supply and demand.

Obviously, but taxes directly effect supply (supply is not the quantity of units available, it's the function mapping price to the quantity of units people are willing to provide at that price; likewise with demand with “pay for” in place of “provide”; taxes directly paid by the party providing a good or service as a consequence of providing it shift upward the price at which they are willing to provide any given number of units of the good or service.)
But then you need either new denormal-accepting instructions or, worse, a new global state bit enabling bfloat16 denormals, all to support use cases probably over two orders of magnitude less common than ML.

I found the book you mentioned - A Dinner of Herbs by John Verney. Looks good.

Somewhat confusingly there is another book called Dinner of Herbs by Carla Grissman which is also a travelogue describing close contact with 'peasants', but this time in Anatolia in the 60s. It also looks good.

(There's even another book with the same title, but it's a fiction novel by Catherine Cookson).

Edit: I've just found that the title is a reference to Proverbs 15:17, ‘Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than feasting on a fattened ox where hatred also dwells’, which explains its multiple use.
> Mind also: With a CGI process for each request the process has to be created, program loaded, runtime linked and executed.

Yeah, that's CGI though, FCGI alleviates this by persistently running a single process/service/application that listens to the port and acts according to the received HTTP headers.

Whatever PHP can optimize can thus be done directly with FCGI as well. You can load everything the webpage needs into memory and just pipe that through to the user, and it would only need to read disk once at startup (or if you update the sources, but that's another issue).

The downside is of course the increased development time and complexity you'd have to invest...

EDIT2: Another downside specific to FCGI is that it is OS-dependent, because it needs to interact with the host in order to listen to a port, something that doesn't affect normal CGI because all you need there is stdout.
