I’ve read / heard various interpretations on the relationship/lack of of The Philistines and The Palestinians.

The main one being, that original Philistines are not modern-day Palestinians, yet the etymology of the name seems to have its roots.

The alternative etymology is that Palestinian literally translates to παλαιστής in Greek which means "fighter" and in Turkish (the π/μπ sound is written and pronounced as b, so Balestinian where a Balesti is also a fighter in Turkish).

I’ve also heard/read that The Philistines were individuals (possibly some type of proto-Greeks) that were essentially outcasted and banished from Crete and other Aegean States as they were problem individuals, à la Australia? So thieves, liars, shillers, connivers, etc. Which ultimately settled in modern-day Gaza/Israel.

Last year, there were new scrolls discovered that were dated as BC and contained the contents of some of the most important books in The Torah and written in Ancient Greek - where the Hebrew texts of these books were discovered much much later as in centuries later.

There’s also the mystery of that whole area where the scrolls were discovered that were for the last part of the century closed off from further archeological studies and excavation (orders from the State of Israel) which has always puzzled historians and archeologists. As if, to avoid rewriting any history as has been written or further disprove / prove any claims individuals have long argued for.

Now that the site is back to being open (I think) for such further explorations, maybe we’ll get more truths / alternative histories. I once heard from local Cretans that back in the post WWII era, there had been Israeli divers that found Hebraic potteries/treasures off the Cretan coast that had looked aged, but ultimately were found to have been planted and staged a few decades earlier.

Again, never confirmed any of this, so it’s all here-say, but there’s definitely some forces that are or have been trying to keep certain truths and facts well-hidden out there.
Most isn’t all and a lot of places will be inaccessible if you don’t build out.
I wouldn't call it unstable hackery. There's a library called signal-cli that's being used to develop a native desktop app for signal (as opposed to the absolutely horrible electron web app available officially). The server software is open source already, so it isn't hard to develop a to spec working client that only spoofs identifiers to prevent detection.
It's not even related to the publisher, they're two different products that are separately licensed. Generally the publisher only retains some rights to the book and how they may use it and same goes for the audio book, with the difference that the recordings are owned by those that produced the recording and not the original writer (unless it's licensed as so).
I'd love to see some modeling of charging demand based on travel patterns. Something that takes into account trips that take into consideration trips that would be served by overnight home charging vs need for freestanding charging out in the wild.
That'd be a pretty drab day.
I’m not a Go programmer, doesn’t having everything async make your code riddled with race conditions? It seems like it would make ordering very hard to reason about.
> Intuitively it makes sense to me that more complex systems collapse faster because potentially they have more points and modes of failure.

For me, the word “complex” complicates the assertion without adding much value.

I prefer,
“Systems fail faster as the number of modes and points of failure increase.”

This paper makes we wonder whether there are ways to automate the search for the most plausible posits (see Figure 1). If scientists could choose the right combinations of data, then could a lot the discovery process could be automated?
> technically speaking, switches do not hash TCP information but hash based on data in the Ethernet frame.

I'm not sure the distinction you're drawing here. When my switch balances based on port numbers,-- yes, it's technically just peeking at "data within the ethernet frame". (is this IP? OK, let's add the address at this offset to the hash. Oh, it's TCP too? let's add the port numbers at this offset to the hash).

L2 hashing puts everything from a single pair of hosts on the subnet on one wire, but this can suck when a lot of traffic comes in through a gateway. L3 hashing fixes the gateway problem. L4 hashing lets individual connections have entire links. And, of course, the more fine-grained the hashing, the better the balancing can be expected to be and the lower the odds that 80% of your traffic goes down 1 link in a 4 connection bundle.

Have a healthy relationship with your parents if you can. Find a partner who is a emotionally stable and well adjusted and you can maintain a relationship with throughout life. Be an involved, invested parent if you choose to have children. Find a therapist if you have your own issues to work on. Everything else is outside of your control.
If you're referring to the pictures sliding off the edge of the central div, I think that's intentional.

The website seems to work fine in GNOME Web (tested on Epiphany 3.36.4 and Epiphany 42.2, which both use WebKit 605.1.15). I guess it must be a Safari only problem? Consider reporting your problems to Apple if the website doesn't work right on their browser, as the open source version of the underlying engine renders it fine.
US firms can pay higher R&D/engineering salaries because they have a lower cost of capital.

Part of the explanation for the lower cost of capital, is that US investors have a higher risk appetite than those in most other OECD economies; also, the US has an arguably more efficient pipeline (VC firms, etc) for getting money from investors to entrepreneurs.

Some of it is no doubt influenced by regulatory issues (such as taxation differences), but cultural differences likely also play a role.
I’m just glad to hear that the legal world has finally moved on to something besides WordPerfect.
This reminds me of all the people that memorize leetcode problems to pass FAANG interviews instead of actually working real problems. Yes, it’s cheating.

The consent is you’re given a random question and let’s see how you do under pressure to solve it. What creativity do you have? What can you remember? How do you interact with the interviewer?

Memorizing the question or the patterns commonly used and being able to regurgitate it out doesn’t make you good. You’re lying and breaking the agreed upon consent. You don’t know what you’re doing, you’re just regurgitating out a string answer instead of creating the object oriented program you lead them to believe you have. This puts real programmers who don’t have time to memorize trivial work at a disadvantage.

Programming interviews need to be based on real world situations. If that’s not possible, memorizing a bag of tricks that aren’t useful or practical in the real world is not an acceptable solution.

(How about you do a paired code review instead? You’d see real code, show team work skills, and demonstrate your knowledge by the questions you ask or bugs you flag as potential problems.)

You don't have to build out every feature much less at once. You just need to be able to iterate your own novel features. That's what writing your own code for your own tooling lets you do, and what you can't do currently with these walled gardens.
Just want to say this was a really interesting article and deserves more comments! It makes me want to dive more into the details of PCIe so I can better understand it. Great demonstration of engineering skills.
If we expect electric cars to replace all gas powered cars, we have to have places for all the apartment dwellers to charge, as well as for all the people who are driving on long trips.

Even with the limited number of Teslas on the road right now, I ended up having to wait for over an hour for a spot to charge while driving from Northern California to Southern California on a holiday weekend. The station had 40 superchargers and still had over and hour wait to get to them. If every single driver on I-5 had to stop to charge, you will need a LOT of charging stations.
I find the concept of Curve pools (liquidity pools) like UST/3CRV, dual token systems, algorithmic pegged stablecoins, and services like Achor very complicated to follow. Is there any good literature that I can read the help understand the relationship between these components. Do they map existing components in traditional finance?

It’s not everything I’d like changed, but it’s everything I have changed.
I live in Oregon, and I went for long drive last weekend. I tried to charge twice at Electrify America charging stations... and both had lines of people waiting!

I will appreciate this.

I doubt it is a decision a developer arrived at. More likely some arm twisting by a short sighted and kpi driven product manager.
Fewer people dying and more people overpaying for ineffective treatment is potentially a good tradeoff. As a society we already funnel massive amounts of cash to new medical treatments, we just do it in a really inefficient way.
I would agree that drugs which have passed Phase 2 trials should made available to "mercy" patients during Phase 3 trials for patients that were not able to get into the trial...at cost to the pharmaceutical company that hopes to sell the drug/

This would eliminate the profit motive that other commentators have noted would be a huge issue.
Overbuilding? I regularly stop at highway rest stops to get gas and have to wait on line at an 8 pump gas station they takes minutes per fill. If people were using electric cars with similarly distributed infrastructure that took 1/2 hour or more to charge, it would be impossible to go anywhere. I don't understand how it moves from niche to mass adoption, but under the current system, I guess it involves an insane amount of chargers

Edit: my point above is that I'm talking about highway rest stops which are presumably exclusively frequented by people on long road trips. Maybe some started without a full tank, but the majority are gassing up to extend their range, and my point is that current infrastructure already gets bogged down with that despite the comparatively high speed of filling a gas tank.
Something about the GDPR maybe could fill that need :-) Good question anyway
Why? If you like it, why not give it a good rating and review if you’re going to take the time. For ratings apps can only present them officially like once or twice a year on apps. So once you rate it, then nothing should bug you again. What’s wrong with companies attempting to get positive feedback from those who like the app. The people who don’t like it, or when there’s one little thing wrong, go out of their way to one start it anyway (like if they have popups that ask you if you like the app even though it addresses the problem you have and that’s why you downloaded it). And if it is free, well, then going out of your way to one star it is a real bummer for that dev trying to make something of value for free and grow via star ratings and having you detract from that. (Unless they are free and collecting and selling all your data - at that point, and if they did this in a shady way although that’s hard to do because of disclosures - I could see giving a low rating review.) just seems overly critical in my opinion but maybe efforts like yours will change dev behavior overall.
There's more use cases for vehicles than driving around a major city, I use my vehicle as more than a grocery fetcher. I routinely drive hundreds of miles, I'm routinely in remote areas, I really value freedom of movement. At the moment an EV is completely out of the question for me because the infrastructure isn't remotely close to what would support my use case. I guess if you want to convert more people to EVs you need to actually build out a system I'd be interested in using.

I wonder if there's any links to possible negative affects (potential for dementia, etc) of vivid dreaming and/or recall.

I have tons of vivid dreams that I can usually remember. I am fairly creative, although many would probably us the adjectives 'weird' or 'smart-ass'.
To me it definitely seems to be in the puzzler category based on those descriptions. The trick is realizing it's "just" asking you to solve the well known formula for radius to circumference, 2*pi*r=c, for c=6 would give r≈1 while you can ignore the rest of the information worded to trick you into thinking it's a complicated problem which would require a fancy solution. Of course if you're not dealing with geometry every day of your adult life it's more likely it leads to seeing what your general thought process is, such as "I'll fall back to Fermi Estimation to get a ballpark going".
I highly recommend trying natural light and bright rooms. I can notice a big difference in strain after working 10 hours in a dim room or under harsh fluorescent lights compared to working outside or next to large window for light.
No way my parents would have forked over $100 to me on some computer thing they didn't understand. Being able to spend your parents money on the internet as a kid is rare.

Nice, thanks. Didn't show up for me
I would love to charge at home. My landlord doesn't quite agree.

I would love to own my own home.

In the meantime, I will accept other EV charging initiatives.
That’s not true. I’m a gamedev and have never had to learn git. The closest would be downloading a zip from GitHub. Almost all game dev is done on Perforce due to the enormous asset sizes we work with.
There used to a lot more fabs in the US and Europe back in the 90s. I used to work at a company that supplied fab equipment to many of them. My guess is there was a lot of consolidation over the years due to lax environmental laws and labor costs in Asian countries.
There's no formal theory behind complexity. There's qualitative and scientific studies but I have seen any strict mathematical formalism around it that fully fleshes out that system A is more complex then system B definitively.

I remember reading that currently there is a movement take intuition of of complexity and transform it into a formalism. If you squint it looks like it's possible, however this isn't always true.

For example the term "life" can't really be formalized because the intuition encompasses a set of things that are over complicated and even blurry at times. It's a loaded word that spawns philosophical debates and nobody realizes they're debating about a poorly defined arbitrary concept. It could be that "complexity" is the same thing... personally it doesn't look that way to me, but I'm not sure.
Fair.

It used to be that Cliff would ask on his mailing list, "does anyone want to host this person?" He'd get these giant catalogs from the publishers of their upcoming books, and there was no possible way we could host them all.

Usually I'd be the only one to raise his hand. I liked to bring authors who wouldn't get a chance otherwise. Thus, you've never heard of most of them.

And, of course, I had no idea how many people wanted to come see them, either.

You found Larry Wall's Perl book rambling and incoherent?
And you a professed book-lover? Are you aware that different book authors have different styles? (Ofc you do.)
Or that Perl is a language, a set of creators and authors, and an ecosystem that does not feel the need to toe the line of the conventional, in fact, disregards it in favor of exploring different styles / options / methods?
Explain yourself, Sir Noufal, or pistols at dawn in Buckingham Park. Okay, your choice of weapons. I shall come armed with the Camel book, nothing else ;)
We’d have to change societal expectations and the capitalistic behaviors within our global society to really make this problem lessened. (Not happening) I’ve known quite a few women who took a break and got back into work - it wasn’t too bad for them. That said - they live in SV, well educated, etc. I can believe many who take longer breaks could struggle but the author isn’t even a month into their search. (The leetcode studying can be a hassle enough in itself)

I’ve often been told that as a man, I’d have to provide for my wife while she takes care of the kids. I’ve often resisted this because I think it’s patriarchal bullshit. People argue logistical points but there are solutions thanks to capitalism. Who is gonna carry the kid? Well, the woman can but that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to years off of work post-preg. I’d give you no longer than the standard time off at FAANG plus a month as compensation for your work of getting to eat whatever and destroy your body (I’m not a fan - neither would you if you saw me permanently gain 40lbs of fat). Alternatively - we pay for a surrogate. I’ll pay the cost if it means you have to play corporate war games. $100k for a few years off and you don’t lose your great body and have postpartum who the fuck knows? Sounds extremely cheap and advantageous to me! Yes, please! What about breast milk?! Women donate that and I can buy it. Again - cheap in the scheme of things.

At this point - it devolves. It’s clear it’s about want and not need. It’s just annoying people rarely take this stance because it’s shown to be a selfish choice and shown as one that is actually more enjoyable than corporate war games. Yes, it turns out $500k+/yr jobs are often very stressful, competitive, and full of hell. No wonder you want to escape - but so do I.
The weirdest one is the security notification I get in my email whenever I login. I get an email saying Please verify your device - click this link to continue signing in - but I'm already signed in. I've never clicked the link and sign in works correctly anyway.
Most EV owners will only need to charge at these types of chargers when on long road trips, which are likely to be infrequent (for most drivers). Overnight charging is all you need for any daily driving <300 miles.

Everybody needs to go to the gas station whether they are road tripping or a local. It’s not the same for EVs.
I often hear US investors have a higher risk appetite, but why is that the case? I imagine it can't be just cultural differences.
Reminds me of discussions I had in the early 00's! People would say "Linux is cool and I'd like to try it, but Windows is where all the jobs are".

It's a fine point, and quite reasonable. It is however I think important that we don't all take your approach.
Not everyone uses Git, or even works with projects that use Git…

No one in SV does microdosing anymore. The new in-thing is macrodosing, basically every three days you take 10x a normal dose.

It definitely improves creativity.
Seems like anyone relying on a few critical special parts should just leave some space on the PCB around the part so that you can just replace the pads for one part with those for another and then route and jumper the pins to match the functionality of the old layout. It would make the boards a little bigger, but it would make it much easier to replace an MCU with another part. Zero ohm jumper resistors make adding jumpers for routing easy for pick-and-place machines. For small scape manufacturing the added costs would probably be minimal. If you're going to have to redesign the product anyway, might as well make it more survivable while you're at it.
Is this import and export loseless (at least from the git side)? From the documentation I read last time I tried something like this, it wasn't and required workflow workarounds on both sides.
Thanks for clarifying your perspective. Honestly it just seems very narrow and pedantic since even non-parents benefit from efforts to blunt the incredible costs of parenting. It leads to quality of life improvements, even if modest, for families. Non-parents themselves, and all their friends, love interests, and family have to come from parents somehow. If society does nothing to help then more parents will choose to have fewer, or no, children.

And these leave benefits are just so miniscule compared to the effort and finances required for each child. So why complain about missing them?
If you're interested in PvP, you must pay in order to be competitive. Whales will simply have 50% more health and damage than you. So if PvP is your jam, you're shit out of luck if you don't also want to pay a ton of money to succeed at it.

Remember on the other side of every advertisement is a business desperately trying to reach customers.

We could certainly do without the tracking, dark patterns and other unscrupulous behavior but at the core, advertising is businesses trying to reach new customers.

I mean I still block ads and recommend ublock origin to people I know but I also see the other side of it.
I gave it a shot about 10 years ago but quickly gave up. Libreoffice was way too limited. Exchanging word / powerpoint with others was basically impossible, importing from ms office mostly messed up layouts. Just too much hassle. You got to focus on the business, not fighting with your office suite.

Recently, frustrated again with some excel shenanigans, I looked around and I discovered softmaker office. I immediately got a license and experimented a little. It seems very compatible with ms office. It still costs money, but less then ms. So in the near future I might try that route, along with thunderbird to replace outlook.
The comparison is not relevant because people don't fill their gas cars with gas at home.

An EV can leave the house every day at 100% charge.
Reports from back in the day said that Apple strongly considered adopting this chip for their laptops before ultimately switching to Intel.

>The Register is reporting that PA Semi had a close relationship with Apple in the months prior to the switch, and that the two companies were working together to gauge the feasibility of running native PowerPC-coded software on 2GHz dual-core chips that PA Semi claims run at only a third of the 21 to 25 watts consumed by Intel's Core Duo models. Sources who spoke to El Reg say that executives were virtually positive that they'd win the contract, and that CEO Dan Dobberpuhl was understandably "furious" when he found out PA Semi had been passed over.
