Yes, exactly, destroying Associated Press and Al-Jazeera offices and equipment (and endangering lives). And despite all the protestations about concrete evidence that it was a "Hamas cyber HQ", and all the claims that the corresponding evidence had been given to the US, there hasn't been any such evidence released publicly, and as far as we know, not even privately to the US (the US denied receiving such evidence when the claim was made).

These reports use unnamed sources, but there are reports that it was almost entirely a PR move to destroy large structures, and that decision makers weren't aware of the presence of Associated Press and Al-Jazeera until after the "knock" bombs were already hitting the roof (it's my understanding that these offices are prominently registered with the IDF in order to prevent such events). https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-idf-only-discov...

> However, he added, the IDF was aware that Hamas was winning the PR war in Jerusalem, in mixed Arab-Jewish cities in Israel and in Lebanon. Moreover, its rocket fire at Israel was escalating. Consequently, he said, both the politicians and senior army officers “were looking for a victory picture.”

> ...

> This source linked the strike on Al-Jalaa to an earlier attack on Hamas’ underground tunnel network, “which began well, but afterward it become clear that it hadn’t succeeded, so they were looking for something to give the public, some victory, even a small one. That’s why the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit was so quick to release pictures and videos of before and after the attack on the building. The IDF didn’t understand the implications of this incident and released the pictures of the building’s ruins as a public relations victory.”

Interesting to see that a book on the topic of learning git "from the inside out" includes a section on remote work (chapter 6).

I see that a VCS is almost a necessity for working remotely with others on code, but I wonder how specifically git practices used in co-location and remotely are different (git practices, not GitHub practices).
You can remap it in system preferences. For a UK keyboard it makes the most sense to map it to “section” which is directly above tab.
to exapnd, there are three similar shortcuts (add shift to reverse order):

1. ⌘⇥ (cmd-tab) - regular mac app switching

2. ⌘-`(cmd-grave) - "Move focus to next window"

3. ⌥⌘⇥ (opt-cmd-tab) - "Move focus to active or next window"

this last one needs manual configuration iirc, and this is what mine is configured to. it's the one that acts most like "switch back to the last active context". however, the system is somewhat unintuitive about how it designates the "next" window (especially if you intermingle all three shortcuts), so it's not very reliable.
An Interview with Geolffrey, Founder of WatchIt, the Decentralized Netflix
> Why not just fix them to handle non-colorization in non-TTY context correctly

"Why not just" = lack of experience in the domain

From my experience, the usual reasons are: unwillingness from tool author to accept PRs, tool is unmaintained/abandoned, tool forces color across a non-TTY in child processes calling other tools inside of itself, "ain't nobody got time to patch hundreds of random tools that are downstream of some popular colorization library", etc.

Your reading of the motivation is naive. Piping is something users do. Whether a single user never wants colors or only sometimes is kinda irrelevant to the point that the feature is desired by users at all.

As I mentioned in my other comment, colorization wonkiness doesn't end with NO_COLOR; there's also FORCE_COLOR, --color/--colors/--no-color/--no-colors, TERM, CI, glue tools calling other tools with one or more of those flags, users who sometimes want colors but sometimes not, regardless of TTY-ness, configurable terminal colors, user-facing non-TTY pipes, fragmented TrueColor support, etc.

There's probably enough wonkiness in the domain of terminal colors in the wild to write one of those "falsehoods programmers believe about" articles.
Mostly because I never cracked a programming book in all of college, I’m going to say the Wrox PHP book. I’d been working with PHP for 4 years at the point that I bought a book on it to try to figure out something I needed to do. On a page next to it, I saw something else that I never knew how to do that made my life a lot easier.

After that I sat down and binge read the entire tome. I haven’t really touched PHP in 10 years but now my first step when I want to learn something is to read an entire book on it cover to cover.

I only wish I’d learned the lesson sooner. Assorted guides and blog posts on the internet just don’t come close to the level of thoroughness and understanding that a book will.
DERO is a new blockchain protocol and smart contract platform, using an account model with homomorphically encrypted balances. This means that tokens issued by smart contracts inherit all the privacy and fungibility properties of the native DERO token. Because it has an account model, wallets synchronize instantly, and nodes can run in "light" mode, pruning their history.

It is a proof-of-work chain, using a variant of the BWT algorithm for hashing, which is bottlenecked by cache/memory bandwidth, which helps to minimize the performance difference between different device types. Together with the fact that each node can act as a mining pool, this helps to increase egalitarianism and decentralization of supply, access, and control.

Finally, the DERO blockchain is implemented as a directed acyclic graph, rather than a pure chain. Transactions can be included in multiple blocks (which induces the graph structure), without being counted twice. These "side blocks" help to increase the network throughput: on test net, the DERO DAG has achieved >750 transactions per second.
> All I'm saying is that "average" isn't really all that meaningful here (as it isn't in many cases). For example, the number of men who have just one or two badly lit photos from their webcam is staggering. That's just a no-brainer.

You're missing the point. The major finding in that OkCupid post was that (according to that post) women have an unrealistic expectation of the attractiveness of men. They demonstrated this by showing that the majority of women consider the majority of men to be below average in attractiveness. This claim is not refuted by your observation that some men send unwanted dick picks, and it's not refuted by your observation that some men use badly lit photos. I don't know why you feel like these observations somehow refute this claim? Even if 100% of men were sending dick pics and 100% of men were using badly lit photos, this still wouldn't change the fact that 1+1=2, or the fact that top 50% of men in terms of attractiveness are above the median in terms of attractiveness. If a person holds a world view to the contrary, their world view is factually incorrect.
Isn't postbox just a thunderbird fork?
People don't want to give up their whole nation and independence, just for some slim chance of getting back at the invading force, by sabotaging their actions in a conquered country. Once they allow the Kremlin to take over, they will have a hard time to get rid of them. There will be armed troops in the streets for years. Who doesn't do what they are ordered from Kremlin side will be replaced. "Just another Ukrainian."-style. Meanwhile Russia will have plenty of time to reinforce areas of control inside the conquered country, making it very hard or impossible to retake what was stolen. Ukraine's best chance for any independent future is to deal as much damage to the aggressor as possible.

Putin is a complete hypocrite, of course, because if he manages to take the Ukraine, then there will truly be no buffer country between him and NATO. Is he going to go insane again then, claiming, that for example Romania needs to be demilitarized? Then he takes that and claims the same for the next country? When does it stop?

If the result is a weakened Russia, then that's good. Empires governed by madmen and dictators should be weakened. We have no use for them in a modern world. In the end Putin will probably manage to reach the exact opposite of what he wants. He wants less threat of NATO, according to his own words, but with this unjustified attack, he has caused NATO partners to move closer together and he has inflicted a cost on his country, which will hopefully be significant enough to stand as a warning for other countries invading their neighbors.

China is probably as you say benefitting from all of this. The Chinese government probably is happy right now, that things escalated and that Russia is sanctioned. They can just watch it all play out and act as the "great peaceful bystander" calling for peace, giving themselves a "peace image", all the while they are still putting Uigures into "re-education" camps. It means, that they can dictate trade with Russia more, as Russia has less options. No one wants to buy your gas? Oh how sad! You can sell to us at reduced price! Only on the very surface Russia and China are friendly towards each other. China will take advantage of any economic situation it can take advantage of. There is however not much anyone can do about more trade between those two anyway. In my opinion it is better to do something now than allowing Putin to chip away at Europe.

Edit: And yes, I agree, Putin is the kind of dictator, who looks for outside trouble, when things inside are not going well. Typical dictator stuff. Nothing else is to be expected from him.
The US has the social security program, to which both employer and employee make mandatory payroll contributions, but it pays very modestly in retirement. Many employees now contribute to their own self-managed retirement savings/investments. Employer sponsored pensions are disappearing.
> unexpected?

What? Surely Putin didn't think the world will just go la la la, while he invades a neighboring nation?
So you actually ask to squeeze more money out of your own people? More specifically poor people, since AFAIK they are for biggest domestic gas consumers in France. UAU....

What you propose IMVHO will happen, not by sanction but by scarcity excuses, and not to damage Russia (actually EU push for a partial SWIFT ban, to II level Russian actors, leaving the biggest aside, while buy from Russia surge yesterday and still today) but to keep financing the Green New Deal and cutting the push toward energy giant windfall taxes.
> But war also happens over important things. The USSR really did have a different political and economic system.

That's a funny example. The moment Russia had its communist revolution and people got from semi-slavery into a minimum of empowerment, the first thing they did was taking their country out of an international war.

Important things are almost never far away, so if the fight is there, it's almost never important.

A lot to like about DERO:

* Smart Contracts
* Homomorphic Encryption (not just obfuscation) for Privacy, Fungibility
* Σ-Mining (anyone mining on the DERO network can earn rewards based on the amount of work contributed, instead of a ‘winner-takes-all’ reward model)
* Account model
* Written from scratch in Go

>(I suppose they may have significant overlap, as they seem related to some kind of spatial reasoning or perception).

I have ADHD and perhaps some light autism (hard to say as a light autistic-like personality would seem perfectly reasonable given my earlier life), at any rate in high school - in the U.S - they decided I needed some testing and they gave me a battery of Reading comprehension / Math / Spatial reasoning tests, in the reading comprehension I tested at the top 1% of the population, math top 20% of the population, spatial reasoning lowest 3% of the population - which caused them to give me physical therapy for a year with a guy who had me do crab walks and a bunch of other physical exercises to make me capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time I guess. I have also since read there is some overlap with spatial understanding problems and autism.

At any rate I still have a hard time understanding schema diagrams and UML models and of course IKEA building instructions, but I understand directed graphs and tree structures pretty well.
Indeed, it's the "real new Ottoman Empire" in its death throes.

We already know what is the issue with only scalable renewables (wind & solar) - unrealiability. Germany is doing pretty much nothing to scale up energy storage, so this all is just a fig leaf to burn more coal & gas (or imported "renewable" wood). See last autumn - when wind did not blow and sun did not shine as much, you were pretty much just burrning stuff to make electricity.

Hydrogen is a joke, just the infrastructure to distribute it will dwarf any costs nuclear could ever have. Not to mention production costs . . .

And you are already irradiating your country by burning coal, so no idea what do you mean by "Instead of investing into irradiating our country".

If I were in Russia, I don't know what I'd do. I tend to be the fiery type but the outbreak of war is a terrible time to disappear for my family.

Russian state media has cast the spectre of treason over anyone protesting the war. [1]. Even before that long prison sentences were common for even peaceful non-seditious protests. [2]

Despite this, a couple thousand Russians have publicly protested and been arrested. [3] It's both sad and brave. Since protests are illegal people go on "walks" with the crowd. Someone will hold up a little placard saying "No war!" and get immediately dragged off by the police. That's the allowed degree of protest.

The ones not brave enough to do that still have my sympathy.

A dozen or so miles east of you, I’ve been observing ubiquitous support for Ukraine—but that doesn’t necessarily translate to support for direct engagement with Russia. The people with whom I interact seem to acknowledge that our direct involvement may become necessary, but are concerned about Russia’s reaction if our troops are visibly present in significant numbers.
Look at the first curve, adoption was increasing even just between 1990 and 1991, 1991 and 1992 etc etc.

So I am saying the opposite, the price drop after solar became cheaper than coal is largely irrelevant. Once it was cheaper than coal anywhere without subsides it demand would skyrocket and prices would continue to fall as adoption increased.

Before that point PV was still useful for an ever wider range of niche applications, satellites for example can’t connect to the electric grid. Various applications where connecting to the grid was expensive or inconvenient swapped to solar at various points on that cost curve ex:sailboats. That was sped up by subsides, without which panels might still be 50$/watt and mostly used for calculators etc.

After bridging the vast technical gap to become cost competitive with coal adoption was going to increase dramatically, no subsides needed. So sure without China panels might be 20-50% more expensive, but that simply isn’t a big deal because PV would still be the cheapest option.
Boooo

Seriously though, a state announcement on Facebook reposted in a tabloid style website without any of the pertinent information, like what currencies are being considered, perfectly sums up the problems with information technology. I should be reading www.colorado.gov

As for the crypto, this seems like a nice way for the state to collect and keep tabs on cash flow. So good on them for being smart I guess. Is it actually easier for people? No. But a lot of people did get sucked into this crypto thing, so you move where the money is.

Shameless self promotion but this is already possible using my shell https://github.com/lmorg/murex

It works with YAML, TOML, JSON, jsonlines, CSV, and regular shell command output. You can import from any data format and convert to any other data format and even in line SQL relational look ups too.

Since SQL inlining literally just imports the data into an in memory sqlite3 database it means you can do your JSON import into sqlite3 using this shell. And in fact I did literally just this last month when using a cloud service restful API which returned two different JSON docs that needed to restructured into two different tables and then a relational query run between them.
