In the field of Middle Eastern Studies, Edward Said's Orientalism is seminal. It's the bedrock of how the field is taught in undergraduate classes, and as you observed, it's cited in a lot of papers. What you're doing here is like me jumping into a C++ conversation and talking about how Bjarne Strousop is Wrong about object oriented programming because the original Rollercoaster Tycoon was written in assembly. You're ignoring a lot of context about why this is an important frame of reference for the field, and bringing in a bunch of largely unrelated counterexamples.

Now, let's address those counterexamples: First, let's look at that quote again:

> Said defines [orientalism] as the West’s stereotyped perception of the Middle East – based in Western domination, *both colonial and postcolonial,* of the East

That knocks out your latter three examples right there. We know that European nations haven't always been the dominating force in global affairs (as much as my dead comment sibling would like to believe that). We know that all kinds of societies are capable of imperialism and war and genocide. Orientalism concerns itself specifically with how "Western" scholars and intelligentsia portray "Eastern" people, societies, and concepts in the service of imperialism. That is to say, Orientalism necessitates Western imperialism. If we're looking at an era before Western colonialism, orientalism is not a helpful academic framework - it doesn't apply.

Likewise, the atrocities the Ottoman Empire committed doesn't affect the premise that Western scholars portray the Middle East in a reductive light. The contention of Orientalism is that the West stereotypes the East as static and incapable, and that this perpetuates Western subjugation of the East. Said does not actually believe that Western societies always dominate Eastern ones, or that the east is incapable of domination themselves, quite the opposite.

a huge part of Orientalism is about defining the concept of the Middle East. Said contends that the "East" as we know it is a construction of the Western world, and that it is a perspective that serves to whitewash and perpetuate imperialism. In that way, Said's work is much less about forgetting history and much more about seeing the "East" for what it is: a multitude of different, not strictly related societies that aren't static and undeveloped, but rather equally capable, just now affected by the most recent round of empire. On that point, I think you and Edward Said actually agree.
Compilers never actively try to put demons in your program. However, they do occasionally end up making constructs that result from a reasonable (if not the most well-thought-out) chain of decisions that end up looking like demons to the untrained eye.
As a quick counter - I’ve had a lot of success using parcel straight out the box, both for personal projects and internal projects in big tech.

To be fair there are definitely times I’ve run into issues, [there’s still an active issue I encountered ~12 months back with including postcss :,( ], but I find such issues are usually faster to solve than looking up the web pack equivalent.

I expect the utility of usin parcel depends on the complexity of the project.

I'd imagine a common theme would be for red counties in deep blue states to leave and join their light blue neighbors, which may shift them red. (Or vice versa.)

For example if upstate NY joined Pennsylvania, then the D senator from PA would very likely lose. Or if (Republican-leaning) inland California joined Nevada, then Nevada would probably tip red. Or maybe (heavily blue) Jacksonville and Gainesville get fed up with DeSantis, and leave Florida for Georgia, cementing GA as a solid blue state.
I was going to make a similar comparison. I casually invest and trade crypto and stocks, I have been burnt when early adopters sell off after a company releases a good announcement. After a good announcement, new investors will buy and early investors sell off at their expense, I've seen this result in a stock losing more than 40-50% of it's price, sometimes it will never recover. I think both markets are affected by similar forces.

The best pens are the cheap ballpoint ones, unless you already have rapidographers. I don't like using Sharpies because they fade out in the middle of the drawing and you have to plot at low speed.

For example, I ballpoint outlined the staircase piece (linked above) and then I manually filled it in with a Sharpie.
There were several incidents involving a fire near the federal courthouse in Portland, but not "for hundreds of days at a time" and reports also indicate that in at least some cases the fires were on the pavement and were not attempts to burn down the courthouse. You could argue that the people who set them are nut jobs, but they don't represent the majority of Portland residents, even more than the Proud Boys who regularly invade Portland looking for hippies and antifa people to beat up are the majority.
Probably the title of the article.
MA few states don’t practice gerrymandering; eg Washington and California both use non partisan or bi-partisan redistricting committees (so legislative majorities don’t matter).
This is untenable, because different compilers will generate different sequences of instructions which will misbehave in different ways. For example, one compiler may choose to reorder the actual memory access until much later, to a branch of the code that doesn't execute in some cases, so "the hardware implementation" could vary from "nothing happens" to "consistent SIGSEGV".
Leaving aside that this completely ignores how relativity works, even if there were a fixed reference point (e.g., the CMB rest frame), our motion through space relative to that frame is ~ 0.07% of c.

Best thing you can do is to source the parts yourself, from Pelican or other online stores. Get an invoice, then you can find the exact parts online. Very easy for consumable parts like brakes, rotors, oil filters, etc. Mobil 1 is super cheap at Wal-Mart. To be honest, once you look serious about sourcing yourself, lots of mechanics will lower the price so the parts are at/near wholesale.

Biggest Porsche ripoff is the brake pad sensor - $70-80 that you can buy for about $8. It's just a sensor, doesn't affect brake performance.
> Faster than your local environment. Builds complete up to 20% faster and package installs complete >= 5x faster than yarn/npm.

Above is a quote from the post. I feel like this is a stupid question, but how can running yarn/npm in a browser on my machine be faster than running yarn/npm on my machine? Particularly when each page load runs a fresh npm/yarn install?

Nonetheless, this is a incredible piece of software that i'll be following closely

This is not correct - electric charge can also escape from a black hole.

The actual answer is that it is energy that can not escape and a static gravitational field (or electromagnetic field) is not energy (in and of itself).

However keep in mind that time is frozen by a black hole, so if you have a black hole with a certain charge, and a new charge falls in, the "change" in charge never escapes (it takes infinite time to escape) so you have no issue of non-static gravity or charge escaping from a black hole.

Either a business can thrive without selling user data, or it can’t. If it can’t, then eventually the data will fall in the hands of someone willing to sell it. It doesn’t matter if that someone is current management (perhaps under pressure from VCs) or future management (after inevitable acquisition or asset liquidation since the business is not viable).
Therefore it does not matter how current management feels about selling user data today, or whether they are vc-funded or bootstrapped. If they aren’t building a viable business, the data they are collecting will be sold eventually.

Frankly you are just ranting about conservatives and not talking about topic at hand. It is completely irrelevant if conservatives are hypocrites and whatever else you are accusing them of being.

If you believe in democratic institutions then people will sometimes vote for things you do not support. If Oregon and Idaho legislatures along with the US Congress also agree to this then it should happen.

Nobody is saying that we should not follow the rules and have the legislatures and congress vote on this. Your accusation that they are not abiding by the Constitution is ridiculous and just an outright lie. This vote is just an indication of what they would like to see. So instead of ranting about off topic things why don't you actually make a real argument about why this should not happen.

It is very clear you are not even trying to understand these people. You are not listening to them and are just being a jerk. It is people like you that cause these rural people to want to leave states filled with people who make libelous statements against them.

#1 ) I dont think you understand how sensitive the global food supply is to changes.

#2) The US isn't just a net exporter of food, its one of the dominant food producers (in exports) in the world. A country like Canada only became a net exporter of food in ~2019. These US exports are primary stables like corn, beef, pork, etc.

#3) f-35 funding is tangential to the conversation. bringing it up only makes you sound un-informed and polarizes your argument for the issue at hand.

It is possible for there to be multiple modes of transmission, and there is good evidence to suggest droplet transmission plays a meaningful role in COVID spread. How much it contributes versus airborne transmission may be debatable, but that doesn't mean taking preventative measures against droplet transmission is "dogma". Here is some discussion of evidence for droplet transmission https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768396

I'm also not sure why you would assume staff have had more contacts. The people that were eating at indoor restaurants in the middle of the pandemic were unlikely the type to be limiting their contacts. Most case studies also checked for antibodies after the fact, not just active COVID testing, so prior immunity would have been detected.

I hope they come to what seems to be the most reasonable conclusion (that the RISC-V patch acceptance policy should be adjusted.) The way I see it, Linux runs on and supports all kinds of stuff that is not well-specced and subject to change, and sometimes reverse-engineered. While the patch policy has good intentions, I think when silicon is shipping and emulators are emulating things it would make sense for Linux to support it. So let’s hope it works out.

The staging approach would sound reasonable on the surface, until you realize the Linux staging subsystem is more specific[1] than the name implies, and not just a dumping ground for stuff that can’t be merged for other reasons.

Unfortunately for your tastes of fringe and buzzard society and people in it at large prefer stability and regular growth. I like a bit of both. We need the fringe and buzzard for society to grow and change, and as a parent and home owner I like to know that society is stable and that I’m not in danger of losing everything some how.

Anyway, not an easy balance but such is living in a society.

I agree that is was good the designers of the 386 got rid of some cruft in designing 386 protected mode. It's unfortunate they didn't lean harder into BIOS calls to hide implementation details (such as allowing only the BIOS to manipulate page tables, and enforcing this by having the BIOS be the only ring0 component), effectively making the BIOS a hypervisor that only supported one guest kernel at a time. This is what the DEC Alpha did with its PALCode, and would have given a smaller interface that needed to be maintained in the future.

It would have made writing a BIOS more complicated, but would have made future kernel and hardware work more simple. It would also have meant all 32-bit and 64-bit kernels would have been paravirtualized from day 1, greatly reducing the need for hardware emulation in multi-guest hypervisors.

Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and it a business risk to depend so much on BIOS implementors unless you provide them a robust liberally licensed reference implementation to tailor to their hardware.

Programming fundamentals are valuable, but whiteboard interviews have little to do with programming fundamentals.

If you look at (hackerrank, leetcode, etc.) you will see that many questions asked in actual interviews are the sort of algorithm puzzles that you might see in "programming" contests like ICPC. As such they can be impossible to solve on a whiteboard or google doc in 45 minutes unless either a) you are Donald Knuth or b) you have a lot of experience with algorithm puzzle contests and have solved a similar problem before.

However, there do seem to be a number of NP-complete combinatorial optimization problems, so I think may be useful to be able to tell your interviewer "well, this problem is NP-complete, so in the worst case it's likely to be exponential."

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/florida/

It looks like New Jersey was hit early on (when it was also rampant in New York) and Florida got hit later. It could be that hospitals do better at treating it now. Obviously that's speculative. But there are like 30 things I could think of that would make it difficult to make direct comparisons between states. Climate is another one -- Florida is nice all year round, so you can have family/friend gatherings outdoors. I also live in a warm state, and we've just done family/friend stuff outside, even Christmas. At this point we do things indoors when everyone there is vaccinated, and outdoors otherwise. In the case of Florida, turns out all those people that ignored restrictions and went to the beach were something like like 20x less likely to spread it than people spending time indoors. Again... speculative. Point being, you'd have to somehow have the data you need to properly control for a multitude of factors if you wanted to make direct comparisons (including some solid reasoning on what to control for).

I loved my XM3. They eventually broke, and I replaced them with the AirPod Max as I’m all-in on Apple gear. Returned those within a week. The weight, the size, and the ANC side effects made it unusable for all-day wear. Some people love them, but I was disappointed. I’m back to XM, with newfound appreciation.

You can try both for a week, and return the set that doesn’t fit into your life. Both Apple and Sony can handle a refund.
I agree that it would be a political statement (if the statement gets made), but I also think there's a meaningful difference between "We are making this choice because we believe it to be the right choice" and "We are making this choice because of market pressures."

When, say, GitHub decides to have their place of business in the US and to subject themselves to US embargoes and therefore bans users in Iran, that's certainly a political statement. But if they say "We were forced to ban users in Iran, because we've decided it's net good for business to be subject to US law and the US does not like Iran," people interpret that as a pretty different political statement from GitHub spontaneously banning users in Iran because they themselves don't like Iran.
You mention being able to use the debugger. How do I do this? The docs are very poor.

Personally, I think it's important to encourage corporations to take human rights into greater consideration. Complex as the issue is, it still results in Apple enriching itself and a nation which could reasonably be considered an apartheid state, by doing business there. In my view, that gives them at least some responsibility to speak out against human rights violations by states hosting economies in which they participate, if not to stop doing business there entirely...
