Where is that definition? I cited sources, so surely you can too.

Clearly they got a visa, so were sufficiently able to demonstrate the certificate of employment and bank statements. No part of the definition of "refugee" requires they be penniless and unemployed.

Which law are they breaking?

Again, why do you know they lied? Do you have evidence?

And, does it matter? Obrador has said Mexico will grant asylum status to Ukranian and Russian refugees. https://fronterasdesk.org/content/1760627/mexico-says-its-pr...

And the US has no restrictions on accepting refugees that have already been granted asylum elsewhere, excepting when there's an Asylum Cooperative Agreements. (The law is at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/... .) And there is no Asylum Cooperative Agreement for this situation.

So, flee to Mexico with a tourist visa, request asylum, get accepted. Travel to the US. Cross the border. Request asylum.

I've cited my sources showing every step appears to be legal.

What is your goal in continuing this conversation? Keep Ukrainian refugees out of the US? Learn more about international refugee law?
> A monad is a mathmatical idea.

Not here. A monad is a programming idea. It bears some similarity to a mathematical idea, but we aren't really doing category theory here. We're doing programming.

The programming idea is simple: Anything that implements certain methods with certain semantics. That's it.
I've used a lot of micros as a hobbyist, and many on this list. For my time and money, I like the PSOC, even though the author pretty much dismisses them.

PSOC always seems to be what I need. I've used it to read CCDs (timing is very strict, and works much better on the SOC than in software). I've made capacitive soil moisture sensors using the capsense. The psoc5 has good options for USB devices.

But I don't make things to mass produce, so $1 has no appeal to me. $10 dev board is fine for me, if it does what I need it to do. There's a lot to love about the PSOC, but if you ignore all of the things they do that these other microcontrollers don't do, it might not look great by comparison. Also they have a development environment that is free and easy enough to learn that it doesn't require living in datasheets.

Fifth wheels are just a specific type of pull-along vehicle that connects to the mount in the bed of a pickup truck.

There are many pull-along vehicles ("campers", "trailers") that offer precisely the same space and features as any particular fifth wheel, but connect to a regular ball hitch instead.

At least that is how I've learned the meaning of this term.
yes, I understand what collective responsibility is, as well as collective irresponsibility. in Russia, 90% of the population are below the poverty line and, due to their ignorance, are subject to propaganda from federal channels, which have been under the control of the state for many years. the remaining 10% of people go to rallies, defend (trying to) their position, try to convey their thoughts to the rest. but the policy of "fear", promoted by our government, quickly extinguishes all these people. we take to the streets and risk losing our jobs (and someone loses). now there are even fewer of us, because the government spends the budget not on the welfare of the people, but on its control and intimidation. why these 10% of people should be responsible for our government? for the remaining 90% of people? we were always against it, but they shut our mouths, put us in jail and ruined our lives. we are used to this from our authorities, but we are not used to this from the rest of the world.
This might sound weird but people sometimes use strange mental tricks to calm themselves down - it helps me think of it as me being a little part of history. My grandmother lived through world war and occupation by Germans, revolution, counter-revolution, invasion and occupation by Russians, another revolution, unusually long stretch of pretty good years and global pandemic. So far I only have one occupation, revolution and global pandemic under my belt. But who knows what the future holds.

The performance and battery life impacts of Windows Defender make it just not worth it for me though. I had a few months where I went back to Linux on my ThinkPad (unfortunately with an nvidia gpu - whose Linux drivers I think caused half my troubles) and it was soo much more performant - but it had enough various annoyances where I just went back to Windows 11 and WSL2.

The idea that pushed me over the edge to try it again was that, this time, I'd try disabling Defender (as I was 1/2 convinced the Linux performance boost was not having AV) and keep a fresh/clean install strictly limited to Chrome (now that I had gotten used to just using the web versions of everything like Slack, Spotify, etc.), VS Code, WSL2 and that's it. Basically what I'd been doing with Linux. And so far that's been great - better performance, runs cooler and quieter, longer battery life etc. than I ever used to have with Windows. It is like a whole new machine.

Knowing I don't have Defender I am even more careful about what I download (these days almost nothing - especially on the Windows side rather than the WSL2 Ubuntu dev side) and about ensuring everything is patched. But it is such a game-changer I am not going back...

That's true, but you can export resolved dependency versions at build time if necessary. I've rarely used version ranges because, well, semver rarely occurs, but for Jackson, allowing it for patch releases was a decision to ensure security updates were automatically picked up.

>Every OS does it, let your OS manage RAM.

Unlike linux[1], windows task manager correctly shows "cached" ram as "free" ram. Therefore it's highly unlikely that the memory usage is from the OS caching mechanism.

As for the actual behavior of using free ram, what happens if there are two apps that try to use the same behavior? ie. you have windows defender and a DBMS installed, both of them try to use up all the free ram. In this situation, what makes you think the behavior of "using all the available free RAM" behavior of windows defender wouldn't push out the "using all the available free RAM" behavior of the DMBS", leading to worse performance?

ATMs can be configured for all kinds of amounts. It's up to the bank.

In the mid-90's, my father's bank would let him specify a withdrawal amount down to the cent. He could take out $53.17, and the machine would spit out $53 in bills, and 17 cents would roll down a chute into the coin tray.

In the late 90's, I had a bank that allowed almost any withdrawal amount. I know I took out $700 once for an emergency car repair.

I think a big reason the banks limit the amount of money you can take out is so they don't have to refill the machines as often. It's a cost-saving measure for them.
This leaves room for such interpretation "On such CPUs C is at the lower levels possible.".

I'm fairly sure the Ghost of Kyiv came from a DCS (digital combat simulator) player originally and is actually based on this short DCS movie called 'The Ghost' which has very similar core details.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM8tXUz2q0c

Also some of the original footage uploaded that was purported to be of the Ghost of Kyiv was from DCS and I believe was even admitted as such by the uploader but like most rumours it has since taken a life of it's own and the exploits become increasingly more exaggerated over time.
In the US plenty of news agencies have reported on leaked information that the government wasn’t fond of without being imprisoned. The case with Assange is a bit special as he sought out and helped people steal and release information that they were not permitted to release.

If he made an effort to truly remain separate from the sourcing of information, as most reputable reporting agencies do, then he’d likely not be in prison.

Look at the release of the Pentagon Papers.
They still have some personal freedom to do things. I think that will start changing soon as Russia (well Putin) has decided to become and International pariah and return to Soviet era tactics and politics. I'm not sure Putin even cares how much of the population supports him any longer. I think he is rather fond of fear tactics and the old Soviet police state where neighbors spied on and reported on neighbors.

I'm totally against the death penalty, and even more so having spent a significant portion of my life in the criminal justice system. But, statistics relating to how many innocent people have been executed is simply not available, unless we extrapolate probable statistics from general exonerations.

One thing that has been very helpful is the sheer amount of time it often takes to solidify a conviction in the justice system. It can take close to 20 years to finalize death penalty appeals, often giving enough time for science, law and public opinion to change sufficiently to free those who are innocent.

(And please do not forget those who are guilty but who were not given their due process - they might be monsters, but if we allow them to be railroaded then we do a disservice to any of us who might find ourselves swallowed into the machine in the future).

SubscriptionFlow: - a Subscription and Revenue Management Platform
SubscriptionFlow:- A Subscription and Revenue Management Platform
I am thrilled to launch our revenue management platform that helps SMBs optimize subscription revenue. It monitors user activity to identify customers at risk of churning and automatically alerts the sales team.

The Problem

Subscription-based businesses spend billions to provide their subscribers the best experience with their streamlined, transparent, and perfect billing, payments, and subscription management. The market is not short of subscription management services providers, but most of these are either too expensive and cater to large-scale enterprises or are not enough flexible and customizable to resolve the vertical-wise issues.

The Current Situation of Subscription-Based SMEs

Though the overview of the market strengthens the deception that the market is saturated with several options. However, it is not.

In today’s competitive age, subscription management is not limited to managing recurring billing only. It now stresses managing end-to-end subscription lifecycles in one place.

Most of the small and medium-scale subscription businesses either rely on the manual management of the subscription business processes or subscribe to a number of cheaper CRM, billing and payment systems and, reporting and analytics applications.

The Solution

SubscriptionFlow is focused on providing an all-inclusive, integrated, and automated platform helping businesses explore more areas of growth with data-driven insights.

SubscriptionFlow Key Capabilities:

• Automated Billing, Payments, & Subscription Lifecycle Management

• Multiple Billing Models

• Access to Additional Subscriber Data

• Additional Customization & Workflow Automation

• Customer Data Portal for Subscribers

• Real-time Insights and reporting tools

Who Are We?

I am Kashif Saleem the founder of SubscriptionFlow which is SaaS subscription management software that manages recurring billing and subscription processes across channels. It is a comprehensive SaaS subscription management platform for subscription businesses to manage their subscription billing, payments, recurring revenue monitoring, and other operations efficiently. SubscriptionFlow offers innovation of automation and artificial intelligence to develop highly intuitive modules for subscription businesses.

How You Can Help:

Do you (or anyone you know) operate a company struggling with complicated and time-consuming subscription business processes management? Particularly if it deals with recurring payments, increasing churn rates, and declining recurring revenue. Please reach out to us to discuss some personalized solutions at @Kashif Saleem
Honestly, I had no idea. I recently had to have my MBP repaired (new logic board... as always). So, I got it back with the latest OS (Monterey). I needed to download some software that was for specific versions of MacOS, and I honestly didn't even know there was a OS 12. I thought I was still on "OSX".

If it wasn't "Monterey" and was just MacOS 12 there would've been no confusion. I feel like it's always an exercise of looking up the code name to find the version whenever someone is like "Yeah, I'm on Big Sur" .... ok one sec, let me google what that even means.

I saw a movie yesterday, the police in my country shared it. A little refugee girl at the border; it was her birthday, and all the personnel sang her happy birthday and she seemed so happy. I almost lost it, even now writing about it. Not even my children and they seem so important to protect at the moment that it really feels like nothing else comes quite close in terms of importance.
Yeah I just read some interviews with Russians fleeing to surrounding countries and they were afraid Putin had lost it and was returning to Soviet era tactics and the complete police state.
I said, "most of the rest of the form is constrained by physics and ergonomics," and that still seems true? At a minimum, if digital camera construction has substantially changed the constraints on lenses, this fact has not led to a significant change in their overall form, to the best of my knowledge. If digital sensors substantially changed the physical possibilities, then perhaps it is ergonomics preventing them from changing.

It's interesting that you bring these points up. Before I spent time locked up I didn't realize how little sleep prisoners get. That definitely affects their ability to understand the proceedings. I did eight years with an average of about four hours sleep a night during that time.

If you are locked in a facility awaiting trial, it is very unlikely you will ever see any of the evidence against. For instance, until very recently in Illinois it was illegal for your attorney to share any of the evidence with you if you were in jail. How can you make an informed decision about whether to risk trial or take a plea deal if you can't know what the case is? This is why so many innocent people faced with a death penalty following trial will accept a life sentence plea deal.
AFAIK the OS file cache doesn't get counted towards the process's memory usage, so if windows defender is showing up as using 2GB of memory, it really is using 2GB of memory for the app itself.
This seems like grandstanding to me if it's really just about the legal justification.

CBP is under the executive branch, so Congress isn't in their report chain. Congress also doesn't decide whether CBP's actions are legal or not; the judicial branch does. I don't find it surprising that CBP doesn't feel the need to justify themselves to Congress.

What I find very odd is that Congress even asked. If you don't want them doing it, pass a law banning it. Why does it matter what USC they're using to justify it?

The stated intent of the post is "to provide an understandable notion of Monads to people who do not get them", so it seems terribly ignorant of the audience to assume that they will know Prolog, a language known for incredibly arcane syntax that has mostly been unused except for a handful of circumstances, outside of the 1980s.

The author wants to draw a parallel between Monads and Prolog's execution, however how many programmers understand Prolog? Of those programmers, how many haven't grasped monads? Even I, who has some Prolog knowledge, now has the mental and cognitive load of having to parse the Prolog that I haven't seen used properly in perhaps 6 years, on top of having to understand the analogy to monads, on top of having to understand the description of monads.

If n-gate still existed, I would pay them to review this comment chain, personally.

Bolivia has extensive lithium resources which are known to be economically viable, but development of those resources is still largely hypothetical, though a few small production facilities have opened in the last decade.
Yes perhaps I misunderstood you. I was trying to point out that semver is okay with having elements in the "public" API of a library (public in the sense of you can import and use it, i.e. not hidden in private modules etc) but explicitly documenting that it is not considered public API in regards to semver.

If that is what you meant with "official API" then we are on the same page.

> None of the resources in task manager (or the resource manager thing) will show anything being capped so it's hard to troubleshoot what system Defender stresses so much.

Yeah, task manger is missing the most useful feature of FreeBSD top, the state column that lets you know what the process was doing at the sample time. If you saw your installer was always in state close handle, you'd have a good guess. But it's a straight forward throughput problem; if it takes 1 ms to scan a file, and there's no concurrency or pipelining, then you're limited to 1000 files per second. If you can thread pool closing, you get a lot more throughput. Unfortunately, everything that runs on windows and expects to close lots of files needs to manage a threadpool to close, but usually developers don't get to pick their platform, their users pick.
Or maybe you just don't like the idea of the government rifling through your shit.
