What? Israel is at 62% fully vaccinated which is quite far behind countries like Canada and Singapore.

A big part of that is the Orthodox population who is choosing not to get vaccinated.

Not sure why you think Israel isn’t dealing with the same issues countries like the US are.
First, the military would need to have its own fight, which would probably reduce its numbers, and then it's a matter of sheer numbers which is on the civilian side. Again, I'm assuming cities won't get bombed, what's the point of destroying your own country. On the ground, there are potentially many strategies that could defeat the military if there are way more armed civilians.
You might look at the shoes from SAS. They're also US made.
Curious about the UI paradigm here and still newbie after all these years.

Is there a well written explanation about the idea / logic behind the terminology of kill line / yank somewhere for people who are used to ... well, just what modern GUIs provide, i.e copy/paste etc? Pros/cons? What functionality do these operations actually provide? Thanks.

I've found this to be a trend across agile workplaces in general, they seem to have some hatred of outlook email/calendaring and decide to just post meetings in a slack or teams channel when they start, its infuriating.

Great effort, but what is WireGuard's plan on getting a Microsoft signature for their kernel-mode driver? Bypassing the code signing is acceptable for beta testing, but not for production systems.
Because they're high quality and there's a fair amount of variety; three MCU TV shows out this year are all quite different from each other, for example.

Shang Chi just came out, and while there are some familiar Marvel beats, it still manages to feel moderately different from any of the previous MCU films. People go to see even an obscure character like Shang Chi because Marvel has done a good job of building trust that even their crappy movies are still okay.

It's apparent that many of the critics only watched the early movies that were more same-y -- by the time you hit phase 3 they're doing a much better job on average differentiating the films. Thor 1/2 vs Thor 3 is a perfect example of this, with the first two being competent but rote, and then Ragnarok being wildly different (and simply better).
That channel is cursed. I've reset my history with new incognito profile several times and regardless of what else i watch it always comes back. Seems like everybody else has seen them also. He must be lock-picking the algorithm by creating such big amount of videos and all within that 2-3min sweet spot of attention-grab.
First they have to decide what they actually want WGSL to look like.

Currently it looks like C++, HLSL and Rust had a son, and they are still half way there.
> anyone who has gotten IPSEC working is inclined to be a proponent, since it's an investment of effort and brain space one might reasonably hope would pay off

Oh dear me, getting IPSEC to work did not win it any admiration from me. Of course, what I was doing with it would have been better served by TLS with server and client certificates, but the other end were telcos so sure, I can setup IPSEC and cry myself to sleep.
I think I’m thinking of it reverse from you. A top 160 site could have more concurrent users than a small regional ISP.
I have the same experience. I control both the OpenVPN server and client. Windows client have abysmal speed. Linux box which is located in the same apartments, can easily saturate the 100 Mb/s link.

In the end I switched to IPsec which solved Windows performance issues. These times wireguard seems like a perfect solution, because IPsec configuration with various clients takes too much time.
Because the code determines how funds can/or not flow from one address to another and is viewable by everyone by default.

For one thing, the fact that Pantagruel shows spec examples right on the homepage is very nice. Being familiar with neither tool, I just clicked around the TLA+ homepage and could find no actual spec examples - at best is a link to a zip which supposedly has a start.pdf file in it.

TLA+ might be a better language, but with no prior horse in the race the better-described tool will be my first to try. And unless there is a showstopper issue, I'd likely stick with it.
Take a thousand dollars of your salary per month and use it to hire a private health coach / personal trainer. Someone that can tell you how to workout and how to eat. Do this for 6 months and you will be in the best shape of your life, which will solve your immediate problem of getting rejected. It will also give you the confidence to not get so emotionally distraught if you are rejected.

It's definitely the best thing to happen to Star Wars in a long time, but amazing? It isn't. It just goes to show how low Star Wars has fallen that boring drivel that is Rogue One and unassuming adventure for kids like Mandalorian are praised as the best thing since sliced cheese.
I recently learned that Falcon and the Winter Soldier was so bad because they had planned for the baddies to unleash a deadly virus which they had to cut out due to the semblance to COVID.
In my opinion, the more interesting article is the South China Morning Post one linked in the article [1]:

> Amazon.com said on Friday that it has closed about 3,000 online merchant accounts, backed by about 600 Chinese brands, [..]

That's pretty significant. Names like RavPower and Mpow are quite big in this space, it's crazy they did not already make some effort to clean-up their act. I guess this may be the wake-up call they need.

> The company’s campaign is not intended to target China or any other country [..]

It's just that the ban almost entirely only affected Chinese brands. I really am glad Amazon are finally taking notice of shitty seller practices.

> While questionable practices like paying for positive reviews often go unchecked on Chinese e-commerce platforms, [..]

This does not speak highly of Chinese e-commerce platforms.

> The crackdown has prompted some Chinese merchants to start investing more on other international online retail platforms such as eBay and AliExpress, according to the Shenzhen Cross-Border E-Commerce Association.

Seems interesting that rather than attempt to clean-up their act and not buy reviews, they would prefer to move platform entirely and continue this obviously immoral behaviour. I suspect it's mostly posturing though, Amazon is a massive platform and gateway into the Western marketplace.

"at a price that often exceeded the weekly salary of an educated worker"

Right, paywalls to knowledge are a disaster for any country that's trying to maintain an educated society/workforce and one of the great outcomes of what Elbakyan has done is to alert the world to the problem. We owe her a great gratitude.

As I mentioned in my post the situation with with the price of books isn't that much different now to what it was in the UK in the 19th C. except that in rich countries a person can buy about two specialist textbooks for a week's salary. Of course that doesn't apply to those in less well developed countries, if anything at $300 per book they're worse off in this modern world than English citizens were back in the 19th C.
I also "loved" how they started with "he's good, but not that good" to "yeah, he's an invincible undying god" in the span of three episodes.
Interesting paper but I mean c'mon

> Rate of learning, programming accuracy, and post-test declarative knowledge were used as outcome measures in 36 individuals who participated in ten 45-minute Python training sessions.

10 45 minute Python training sessions?

Don't really think this is indicative of learning to code.

Would be interesting to see a much longer study looking at CS undergrads or perhaps coding bootcamp students.

Once you get into Data Structures & Algorithms or something then you'll probably see math ability start to play a role.
I'd rather they build in my backyard than on Tempelhof. I live far from it, close to a lot more green space. We should keep Tempelhof because I consider access to such green spaces a necessity, even for city dwellers.
A good idea, but good luck with that in the U-S-of-A.
My understanding is that modern crypto is fast enough without hardware acceleration, so it's not strictly needed. There are hardware accelerations for AES, SHA algorithms which are slow without acceleration.
I don't feel like they are taking over TV.

I enjoyed Dare Devil, Punisher, and Jessica Jones, but I really cannot get into /any/ of the marvel shows that are on Disney+... Production quality is high but they are just so boring to me.
How about this: MCU movies begin production with the VFX work for the major action scenes. This happens before they have a script or even a director. Have you ever noticed how MCU movies feel like a completely different movie once the CGI action sequences start? It’s because they are. These are not serious works of craft: they are marketing exercises meant to keep a money tree well watered.

I was never the target audience for this stuff but I was willing to be dragged along to Iron Man and Captain America because at that time “October Movies” still existed. That is mid budget Hollywood dramas and thrillers targeted towards adults, typically with an edgier tone, released in October after the summer tent pole season has run down but before Oscar candidate season has fully started. Basically everything David Fincher directed prior to being scooped up by Netflix fell into this category. Nightcrawler, All is Lost, and Captain Philips, are other “recent” examples, but of course they’re from the first half of the 2010s because Hollywood no longer green lights projects like these in the cinematic universe era. When MCU critics talk about crowding out better films, this is the sort of thing they’re referring to.

Look I apologize for not containing my scorn, but the fact is that the typical 9 year old can understand everything there is to understand in an MCU film modulo the punchline of a couple jokes. These are thematically simple films with no point of view and nothing to say for fear of shrinking the size of the big tent. The sad thing is that films targeted at children don’t have to be dumb; Bambi for example is a shockingly grownup film that sensitively deals with the passage of time and seasons, death and grief, coming of age, the hardness of life, and the cycle of generations, all within a runtime of under 70 minutes. There’s a lot going on there for the story of a fawn who does stuff in the woods. Yet that kind of depth does not exist in the children’s cinema of our times, ie the MCU, and the popular audience doesn’t even know to ask for it anymore.

We’re a stupid people and we get served correspondingly stupid culture. Sorry to rant and be rude, but in my view the MCU’s popularity is one of the leading indicators of our cultural decline, right up there with Trumpism and social media.
I meant to say polystyrene.

OCW MIT: 6.006 Intro to Algorithms 2020
The value of a programmer at a startup isn't their output... it's their value relative to the second-best person the company could have hired. Sometimes the employee is a critical component, and sometimes they are a replaceable code-monkey. If you are easily replaced, code-monkeying simple code that makes $1B doesn't mean you provided $1B of value.

(I say this, as a software dev at a startup).
I'm still in camp subversion, my main gripe about git is the lack of a linear rev number for master. The rest of it is complexity you can either take or leave.

I've thought about writing a subversion compatibility scripts overlay for git, just to make my live easier.
> ...but by such a long margin Dart was my favourite.

Are you joking? I don't have any biases for or against dart and understand why they created a new language instead of picking an existing one. But honestly, dart is not a very good language to program in.

Why do you think dart is better than these other languages "by a long margin"?
They didn't include git push?
Can’t see how this is a good thing - property prices will rise since there is no cap on income generation

If my neighbor sells his house to a developer building condos, then my property appreciates

First house to convert to condos just makes everyone else’s experience that much worse: traffic congestion, parking, schools
For the most part abandoned? Have you ever been there? On a sunny day this place is packed to the brim.
the only way to block this traffic effectively is by asking your upstream peers to blackhole the traffic. dropping this with a firewall or other device is nearly impossible because of the high load.

remote triggered blackholing is done by BGP. which between peers only allows a /24 in terms of the smallest announcable prefix.

blocking every /24 from which an IP in a ddos originates kills most if not all of your reachability.
> do you cut off whole university campuses because someone's "smart" coffee machine is participating in a ddos

Yes?

That’s the only reasonable way to go about it. If you block only single clients you’ll just paint a large bullseye on universities.

Using Git only in a simple way isn't quite the answer to problems, because if you make a mistake, you'll still need to use non-simple commands to get yourself out of it.

When my level of understanding of git was "add/commit/push/pull", if ever I made a mistake, I'd then have to try a more sophisticated command which would then risk making another mistake.
He has a point. Crackdown on the higher education is coming because there is artificial, and needless, high demand for it - resulting in high prices and most people getting it just wasting years of their lives, additionally getting in debt. Much fewer people need to get higher education. It won't be much different if it was free: main thing is people wasting their time + becoming upset and angry at the society, perceiving themselves as the 'intellectual elite' that isn't getting 'valued' enough and unable to get jobs matching their qualifications. Because yeah, those jobs don't exist: society needs builders and plumbers, not masters of English literature and Sociology.
That was my take at the time too. I do take some blame for not flagging the situation to my manager or my skip (their manager) earlier, and for not being more aggressive about it. It's so easy to think it must be you when things aren't working out.

I did not escape without a bad review. Somebody had to take the blame when things didn't work out. That was also some textbook bad management: my poor performance was first described in the meeting where the review was delivered. Never once in all the 1-on-1s we'd had. Skip said there was nothing that could be done because all that mattered was that I did not deliver compared to my peers.

My manager moved teams then left the company not too long after as well. I'll never really know what happened, but I assume they got a poor review themselves.
I quoted the part I was responding to. The other part seems not true to me. Trump was extremely overblown by media and many believed it. He stepped down... that's not what dictators do, and it was Trump that as LARPing as a dictator just to get reactions. The evidence is that he was an entertainer and had a TV show. How many dictators in history had TV shows? He played the media, and then everyone went insane. Sure, he's an idiot, but thinking he's a dictator? That is also LARPing.

As far as guns, unlike your suggestion of right-wing authoritarian citizens enforcing government, there are many instances in history like Cuba, where the first thing a dictator does is take away civilian guns.

The point of the 2nd amendment, is for anyone and everyone to own guns. We can see this post and also last year during the riots (BLM, left-wing rallies arming themselves) that everyone goes against gun control once they realize they need to defend themselves.
WebGPU is a much more approachable API than Vulkan or DirectX 12 and is more portable than either (or Metal, which is secretly the best graphics API available today if you can put up with Apple). If you're trying to hack something together or write something nominally portable like you could in the good old days of OpenGL, I'd recommend starting with WebGPU. *

However, it's not at all a viable replacement and it's not clear it has a path to become one in its current state. WebGPU is limited to a least common denominator of features that sets it back at least half a decade of hardware and API advancement. Some of these features (like raw pointers to buffers) would be challenging to adapt to the safety requirements expected of WebGPU.

Then, you have to consider that it's yet another layer of indirection on top of a stack that's already filled with more magic than any one developer or company can keep in their head(s). It's another layer removed from the driver written by hardware vendors, too, so hitting the fast paths gets a little harder. Plenty of devs are already hesitant to move from DX12 to Vulkan, so if they move to WebGPU, it'll start with baseline support for browsers and not much else, then maybe expand if WebGPU somehow goes deeper into the hardware stack.

* I need to asterisk this because, to be honest, I think the whole paradigm behind all these APIs is complete and utter garbage but that's a much longer conversation and has no obvious resolution in sight.
There's lots of evidence and many studies that show that zoning causes high real estate prices. I don't think it's fair to say it's merely a preferred reason. Here's one of many:

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3507803

The bar that you're asking for is too high. Relaxing zoning laws in a specific locale shouldn't lead to lower prices necessarily. It should lead to a smaller price increase than what would have otherwise occurred due to supply still being restricted elsewhere and the relative fungibility of low to mid income housing.

But I agree that it would be good to see an event study of a natural experiment in addition to the correlational studies. However given the existing evidence we have, as well as the underlying economic logic, we shouldn't pretend as though there's no basis for bringing up zoning as a major cause of high real estate prices.
Spent several hours debugging that one a couple of years ago
A very nice property of shellac is that is easy to repair and difficult to screw up.

I recently restored a large cupboard that would've been a whole lot of nasty chemicals and sanding had it used modern film finish lacquer. Instead, it being shellac, it was a matter of a quick clean up for the worst scratches, followed by applying more shellac coats and blending it in with the old finish.

It's also very pleasant to work with on new projects and the results are awesome. With the right kind of wavy grained wood it can have a three dimensional hologram-like chatoyance, almost like a gemstone.

It means that every midlle-clas person, and every foreign and local company in the developing world is obsessed with "getting their money out".

And this rational fear is becuase our currencies continue to devalue.

You did ask.
It's a good thing because while land prices rise with density, rent prices will decrease as housing stock increases. If your neighbor sells his house and it gets replaced with condos, then more people will be able to live there.

Maybe it's counterintuitive to you, but dense housing is actually better for traffic congestion as people are better able to live near the places they need to go, instead of having vast swaths of suburbs a la Los Angeles.
