You should look at his translation of Beowulf. Not because it's an especially good translation (it isn't), but because it's really just a framework for a series of mini-essays on how much you can learn about the culture from that poem (and supporting material).

He examines the poem on a nearly word-by-word basis, and each one teaches something about how they thought about the world. That requires an absolutely encyclopedic grasp of every single fragment of knowledge we have: archeology, sagas, descendant languages, religion, etc.

You really read it for the footnotes rather than the (unremarkable) prose. Having read it gives you a much greater appreciation for other translations, and the way they translate the 6th century for today.

Best practice would be a pipeline producing an up-to-date bare image with your major dependencies tested and a CVE check. Then use that base layer in your deployed system.

Conventional would be to ignore it.

I have met Jews (Israelis to be more precise), Russians and Americans. All have been very nice people.

But I think it could be said about all of them as nations to have to some degree "insatiable appetite for war and killing" considering their recent history.

Naturally the Russians would label me a russophobe for saying that. Not sure what Americans would label me.

I also understand the position Israelis are in and I understand their actions. But they have made a critical mistake from the beginning and what they continue to make - not giving a fair compensation to the people they displace.

I think most problems would not exists today if that had been followed from the beginning. Perhaps I am mistaken, so please enlighten me.

I also envy Israelis that they can be in such position.
Ah, now that I'm rereading my own comment I see I'm beeing a bit "flippant" (?). Please believe me I did not mean in that way.

So what point am I making: I've read that schools are teaching creationism, others spend 80% of their time on sports, something with greeting the flag every morning with a speech?

A lot of time is spent on teaching how to make arguments (How to plead your case) instead of trying to work together in finding truth.

And most of all: do not criticise, but a "do as told" mentality.

Again: Sorry for that almost mean-spirited first comment of mine.
I bought a house 5 minutes from my office but I still prefer work from home. I get to spend all day with my wife where I’m most comfortable.

I think some see work as a vacation from home and others see home as a vacation from work. If employees are spoiled with many benefits in the office like gourmet lunches, famous speakers, entertainment, and free massages, It makes sense to prefer working at work when your office is a luxury spa - but most offices are not like that at all.
For us advertising a product with targeted ads definitely performs better than non-targeted ads. Also remember that most stuff being advertised is consumable so you will most likely at some point buy it again.
> Should you really be fired for things you said 13 years ago?

I think, you shouldn't. Unless you're a head of diversity. Then you must be.
Seriously, most of the stuff you've seen recently?
> Have you people ever met a Jew?

yes.

My Jewish friends are anti-war and anti-imperialist.
> it is almost always is something I don't want, already have, or just bought.

The explanation I have heard for the "just bought" scenario (I heard it on the internet, so grain of salt and so on) is that they're looking to catch people who purchased the item but have returned it, and are now in the market for a different version of the same item (e.g., you returned the chainsaw because it was too small, and now want a bigger one). Which makes sense, but whether there are enough people in that scenario to be worth the cost...
She also called her comments "deeply insensitive". How bent out of shape are you going to get over what a 17 year old says? "Sorry you're offended" is much closer to accurate. I'm nothing like 17 year old me and if you asked me to take present day responsibility for that person I would tell you to toss off.

How much did you do at 17 that you aren't proud of today?
Anti-Zionists deny being anti-Semites, claiming they make a clear distinction between Israel as a political entity and Jewish people in general, and are only against the former.

Bobb conflated Israeli politics with Jewishness and thus making the latter responsible for the actions of the former.

The fact that Israel defines itself as a Jewish state does not mean that all Jews see themselves as Israelis or are pro-Israel.

It is like criticising Arabs for the actions of Saudi-Arabia, or any other Arab (or Muslim) country, which is unfortunately an recurring theme in the West and justifiably regarded as a form of racism (Islamophobia).

Not all the news publications have the same ideals or strategies or tendency to bend the truth the same way, but all news (so far as I can tell) is impacted by the same negative incentive: advertising.

If your business model generates revenue through advertising, you are incentivized to attract attention, as we all know very well. News is no different; news publications are incentivized to write outrage-generating content to get you to look for ad revenue, whether it's CNN or Breitbart or ONN or Fox or NYT, it doesn't matter.

CNN isn't the same as Fox on this level, for sure, so it's not completely equivalent, but that's mostly because the ideology is different. But outrage on the left sells, outrage on the right sells. Those publications are different because the outrage they sell is targeted at different audiences.
History has shown that the world burns because of some fanatic trying to impose their theory of utopia which overrides human nature. People caring first about their own family, then their extended family, then their neighborhood, then city, etc, in radiating zones of decreasing concern is a required part of human nature and does not cause the world to burn.

The only bad thing about the transactional server, and IIRC openSuSe doesn't mention it anywhere last I saw, is that you can't break up your root filesystem other than /home.

I had installed / on an nvme drive which my BIOS doesn't boot from, so I have /boot on a separate partition. Breaks on every kernel update (although trivial to fix).
I'm not sure I will ever understand the need or the advantage of linking my doorbell to an Amazon server.

It depends. Even if they do, if Apple's revenue levels off and shareholders still demand growth, then the whole advertisement story might repeat itself.
> The ACLU is more of a partisan organization aligned with the democrats nowadays.

In that as the set of political realignments that started with the New Deal, got new direction from the Civil Rights movement and the response to it, and completed around the mid-1990s wound up, the Republicans, who were not consistently so before the realignment, ended up firmly opposed to both core principles of the ACLU and, as a tribal identity marker, the ACLU itseld (heck, even in the 1980s, Republicans used a Democratic candidate being a “card carrying member of the ACLU” as an attack.)

The ACLU didn't really go anywhere, the national partisan alignment shifted so that the positions it always held were partisan.
I think it honestly all depends on what the dominant causal factors and how this scales with node size. Effectively, if unreliability increases at the same rate or faster than the performance increase as node size decreases, and 'high reliability' compute can be easily and generally segregated from other compute, then it would probably be easier just to not decrease node size rather than parallelize at the chip/core level. Certainly, the software cost would be much easier.
I've been using KiCad professionally for 2 years, and I'm pretty happy with it. I made a token effort to try some commercial offerings but at this point the transition cost seems higher than the benefit for the mid-range boards I'm making. Would likely be different if I were laying out big FPGAs with RF and DDR5.

I'm really looking forward to KiCad 6. Tried the nightlies and the UI improvements and all the little changes are really impressive. Was tempted to switch my work over to it but was scared of the inability to convert projects back to the KiCad 5 format.

My one major complaint coming from a software background is poor support for version control. KiCad is closer than most to working with standard tools due to its structured textual data formats. However the structures in the files are ordered by comparing the objects pointers so every time you launch KiCad and save it randomizes the order of everything causing massive spurious diffs. I've seen some people use pre-commit hooks and perl/sed scripts to try to fix the diffs but could never get them to work. I've been meaning to contribute a better sorting system but the prospect of building 30 C++ libraries from scratch on Windows triggered PTSD flashbacks.

In the mean time I've been using cadlab.io which is a GitHub-like for ECAD. It can make visual diffs of changes which is quite nice. It can be slow, though, and it has a weird rendering bug on Firefox that makes everything blurry sometimes.

You could probably do something like using idle cores (or idle hyperthreads) to duplicate instructions on an opportunistic basis to verify outcomes on a less than complete basis. There would be thermal and power consequences but some situations care about that less than others.
By wave patterns (the island would reflect waves, and they could detect that in a canoe), by birds (land-based birds fly back to the island in the evening), and by clouds (certain cloud formations build up over land). Combine them all, and they could know where islands were that they couldn't see. The reflected wave thing worked even at night.
The Role of Feedback (Engagement) with the “Medium Is the Message” Theory
I find this an interesting problem.

On one hand, at YT scale it is nearly impossible to figure out what is right or wrong, and I really wouldn't want them to do it. It just doesn't work, and their blocking content around Covid and elections only highlights how much it doesn't work. "fact checkers" are humans with underlying biases ...etc.

On the other hand, if you were to give me 10 bottles of Tylenol, and paid me to promote it and sell it to others, but you laced it with cyanid instead, it's clear that you should be help responsible.

This is where it gets interesting because the question becomes is YT paying to promote fake products, or are they the ones being paid? You can see an argument that YT is simply a distributor that cannot verify the content, and therefore the only person in trouble should be the one who created this fake content, and told everyone it was real.

Thinking out loud mostly...
I agree that it is wrong to give companies a pass on this behavior, but, with respect, this is in fact pretty normal in the aviation industry. In fact, given the ambitions of Boom, I’d argue they’re doing quite a bit better than any of us might have expected.

The Guardian is an English newspaper with a political agenda on the left side of the spectrum. So articles like this serve to support a narrative its readers feel comfortable with. Similar to Fox News.
> But how do we abstract other resources like cameras, keys, contacts, network ports, or money?

Android has some of that figured out. For instance, instead of getting a permission to use the camera directly, an application can use a camera intent, which will pop up the camera application (which does have that permission); when the user takes the picture, the original application will receive something somewhat similar to a capability which can be used to access that picture (and only that picture). The same idea can easily be extended to contacts (use an intent which pops up the contacts application, which then return something somewhat similar to a capability to access the contact chosen by the user), and so on.
My intuition from reading these quotes is that this person spent a lot of time thinking about socioeconomic differences in relation to race[0], so they see things through that lens. It can come off as hostile, but the more generous interpretation that they simply emphasize this theme.

[0] I dislike the term "race" in these contexts. In biological terms there is only one human race currently alive as far as we know. Every time I read or use it I feel like the pseudosciences such as social darwinists have won.
That is specific to operators (Blender's implementation of buttons) since they are closely tied to their use in the UI. They may expect a specific context which is checked by the operator's `poll()` function. The namespace the operator is in should hint at what that context is, e.g. `bpy.ops.mesh` works with mesh data which is accessed in edit mode. Other operator namespaces directly reference area types, those need to be executed within that area. For instance operators `bpy.ops.view3d` will most likely require to be executed in an area of type `VIEW3D`. That is a requirement because the data that the operator needs is otherwise not accessible. I understand that the approach you are used to in Maya is more convenient.

When you have issues with calling an operator due to a wrong context, there are different ways to approach the problem:

1. Figure out what the necessary context is and switch modes, areas, etc. to match the requirements.

2. Figure out what the necessary context is and override the context.

3. Avoid using operators.

Approach 1.) could be accomplished by checking where the operator is originally used in Blender. For instance the `bpy.ops.mesh.remove_doubles()` is available in edit mode in the Mesh > Clean up menu. Thus edit mode is required to run the operator. This will work for many operators because they don't have very complicated requirements.

Approach 2.) is for when you must use an operator, it requires a complicated context and you know about Blender's internals. You can look at the operator's (poll) implementation and construct a specific context that is passed into the operator [0]. This should only be used if there is no better alternative.

Approach 3.) is preferable when you are working with mesh data. Instead of using regular operators you can use bmesh instead [1]. It doesn't require switching to edit mode or passing a context. It's usually the more efficient approach as well.

If you held BTC over the past 5 years you became rich.

> The vast majority of Israelis (myself included) do not suspect antisemitic motives in Palestinians

Speak for yourself, I'm Israeli as well and most Israelis don't agree with you. There is antisemitism among Palestinians and there is Islamophobia among Israelis (though to a lesser degree in my opinion), wishing it away won't make it go away
> Hopefully someone reverses the protocol DualSense speaks with PS5 sooner rather than later and can make an adapter for that as well.

Sony recently[1] mainlined its DualSense 5 driver to the Linux kernel, so reversing the protocol shouldn't be difficult. There previously were a couple of open-source 3rd party drivers for older DualShock controllers - I use a DS 4 controller for all Steam on Linux games and it works very well: most games recognize it as a PlayStation controller, display the correct button symbols on help screens and QTEs

Not sure if this is a joke, the emails refer to iPhone and it’s original sdk. Originally, to develop for iPhone, you had to settle for making web apps.
Anyone who doesn’t think cryptocurrency has facilitated monetizing cyberattacks needs to wake up. You can be pro-crypto and still acknowledge that the rise of ransomware has hone hand in hand with the ability to monetize it at dramatically lowered risk. This, in turn, broadened to scope of companies that were interesting to attack.
What? This event seems to match the collectively assigned definition fine.

"Cancel culture or call-out culture is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – whether it be online, on social media, or in person. Those subject to this ostracism are said to have been "cancelled". The expression "cancel culture" has mostly negative connotations and is commonly used in debates on free speech and censorship.

The notion of cancel culture is a variant on the term call-out culture and constitutes a form of boycotting or shunning involving an individual (often a celebrity) who is deemed to have acted or spoken in a questionable or controversial manner." [1]

Unintended Garbage Collection on the Web
Less so today than they did before BLM highlighted the way they repeatedly did so.

EDIT: I mean, two people actually think the recent spate of prosecutions of white law enforcement officers for unjustified killings of blacks is because in the last few years American law enforcement officers have just become violently racist in ways they previously weren't, and not a change in accountability resulting from public attention to the issue?
"Anyway" from what reference point? The gas stayed in the ground for millions of years before we poked a bunch of wells into the reservoir. If the wells are shut in correctly, they shouldn't leak appreciably. As the comment above notes, the more pipes you have, the more gas is going to leak.

Unfortunately, in many places you can't produce oil without producing gas, and with so much gas right now, there's not a lot of financial incentive to capture it all. If we reduce the need for oil, we'll reduce gas leak emissions as well.
Alternatively, you could just delete your social media accounts regularly to minimize your trail.
Apple employees to return to the office three days a week in September
Damore's quote says "in part" and "may explain," suggesting the possibility of multiple causes, and making clear that there is uncertainty.

Your paraphrase says "the reason" and "rather than bias/descrimination", suggesting both certainty and only a single cause.

How do you reconcile this difference between your paraphrase and Damore's quote?
in a culture where all white people are guilty for slavery, this mindset makes sense to me

It might be that personalised ads are only marginally better (if at all), but the perception of the advertisers and publishers is that it’s very important, thus creating a (fakeish) moat for Google, as it’s more difficult to execute. Or maybe that’s really not that important, as the biggest moat remains Google being number one web destination.
Do not track is marketing jargon. Apps can still continue to track users individually. What was lost was cross app tracking which was used for most mobile app ads.

Yeah, I don't have a very strong opinion on Damore, but the two situations are clearly not the same. One was published 14 years ago and another was published in the same week where it blew up.
I like this! I would consider using it for some of our projects.

Biggest issue I have is with the task list, for any reasonably complicated project we would at least need ability to group tasks into features or milestones. Task lists can get pretty granular, but communication to stakeholders or clients does not usually need to be that detailed, higher level groupings are preferable (and also makes it easier to organize the tasks).

As others mentioned, integration with Jira and such would be nice, but not a deal breaker.

Also I think I broke my demo project, I changed one estimate and the projections just say "New projections are being calculated". There are only 4 tasks :)
