There is true to that split, but the real army can not be fully de-powered. They still have a lot of the heavy weapons and large numbers.

The Revolutionary Guard outside the professional core isn't that dangerous.

I believe this split between Revolutionary Guard and the Army is what will one-day allow Iran to turn democratic.

Arguing in bad faith and encouraging their followers to disregard rational arguments is precisely what right wing groups (Fox News, Crowder, InfoWars, etc.) are doing. For example:

The popular idea of "owning the libs" is based on trolling instead of engaging in rational debate.

Labeling any even remotely left wing economic policy as "communism" is an attempt to invoke fear of Stalinism rather than considering the policy on its own merits.

Refusing to understand what progressives mean by "gender" vs. "sex" in order to make discussion of the related issues impossible.
It's by Andre LaMothe.

He has written several popular books in the 90s. His first (major, I believe) book was "Tricks of the Game-Programming Gurus", which revolved around Wolfenstein 3D (ray casting). In reality, it was an overrated and ultimately terrible book (amonth the other things, the book project was not an actual game, and his approach to optimization was to use assembly instead of better algorithms).

"Black Art of 3D game programming" is a good book instead, and also relatively relevant today, for those who want to understand the basics of 3d. It also goes in detail in explaining BSP trees, whose implementation is considerably more complex than one would imagine by reading "Game Engine Black Book - Doom" (nothing wrong with that, it's just a matter of page budget).

Iran to disband morality police amid ongoing protests
What a cynical reply! Are you not impressed by the incredible medical breakthroughs in mRNA vaccines from BioNTech and Moderna in the last three years? And billions of vaccines have been distributed and injected at record pace in human history.

Also, this phrase: <<medical system which administers these innovations remains so dysfunctional>> feel like someone writing from a US(-tainted) persepctive. Have you experienced well-functioning public health systems in other highly advanced countries? They are impressive.

Decade of 24/7 jet engine fans on every laptop I've owned and "surprise furnace in laptop bag" is basically why I bought the M1 Mac, which is the first Apple device I've ever owned.

If I can't stand MacOS for whatever reason, I can wait for asahilinux to modernize. If I had bought another intel leafblower, it would have still been a jet engine under linux.

I can't go back to the craziness of chasing on horseback with a lasso the power user features and how/where windows moved/removed/unset them on every update.

The person responsible for paperwork is called an accountant, a secretary or officer, not a manager.
A person handling presentations is usually a salesperson.
The person with deep knowledge about how a particular business runs and steps required to do so is called a business analyst.

Many so-called professional managers are actually salespeople who have leveraged themselves - sold themselves as managers regardless of how good they are at actually managing. The closest equivalent is politicians.

Sometimes an owner is actually forced to take on multiple such roles at the same time, especially in a small company or a startup. Then they tend to fail thanks to their shortcomings unless they get or hire help.

For example Jobs was not particularly any good manager. He was a salesman and a designer. He hired good managers.
When he managed directly he got abject failures, that only his skill in sales partly covered.

The article described a case where someone hired a manager to actually do the job of a process quality engineer/quality officer.
All the Filipinos I meet here say if they could go to the US, the first place they would go is Las Vegas. I tell them, "that's the last place you should go in the US, it's just a tourist trap" but it took me a while to figure out that culturally, they want the tourist trap experience and would prefer Vegas, LA, or NYC to someplace like Bozeman MT, Estes Park CO, Beaufort SC, or <pick your most beautiful town in the US>.
> It's not that powerful of a predictor.

Their research states otherwise.
I worked remotely before the pandemic. My world was already Zoom meetings and Slack threads and text chains. The digital world made it so I could attend friends' birthday parties, or game nights, and I was suddenly on equal footing at work with regards to participation, but where I could still be at home with my family and raising my puppy. The future is probably more hybrid than it is now, but it's not what the article claims, either, which was light at best.
AFAIK from 2019 to 2022 there were five elections, all of them where won by the center right (the center or the right)

The right is (was) led by Netanyahu, the center by Ganz, a retired military general, former ministry of defense. Not exactly two champions of progressivism.

I don't recall a victory of the left or the Arab parties in Israel, maybe it's because, like in Iran, the situation in the area forces them to act in a certain way, to not disappear.

I don't condone what's happening in Iran, but I think I understand why there isn't a democracy of the same kind we like to pride ourselves in the west.

I think OP meant to say that Iran is to be considered more democratic than its neighbouring countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Emirates (and so on). Some of them (we all know who they are) are close friends of the west or some western countries, one in particular (we all know which one is it), and I honestly believe they are more dangerous than Iran.
It often links to out of date or ad-ridden content ripped from legitimate sources though.

Yes to be fair to Word, his screenshots were taken when all the optional buttons turned on.
Elections is the most visible part of a democracy but I think separation of powers is even more important. And of course is the first thing a dictator will eliminate, even more than elections. Actually is the first thing wannabe dictators inside democracies attack

Chinese grammar is so different from English grammar that it's entirely unclear whether CCP or CPC is the more correct translation (from a grammatical perspective).

Just to begin with, Chinese does not modify words through endings, conjugations, etc., so it doesn't even have an equivalent to "Chinese" (an adjectival form of "China").

中国共产党 is just literally, "China-Communism-Party." There are several ways to render that in English, all equally valid, from a grammatical point of view.
That's quite interesting. I always found it difficult to relate to the left/right binary hatred.

Five learnings from building Cloud Academy for 10 years
Show HN: I recreated Coursera with 150 free YouTube tutorials
Reminds me of this sketch https://youtu.be/oN2_NarcM8c
OK, so it's not quite a complete learning platform. I've only covered the most popular resume keywords here.

The idea was to find the best YouTube crash courses for every "hot" tech skill. "Best" is subjective, so I had to rely on video popularity, viewer feedback, and my own watch experience to gauge how effective each one is.

This is for folks that:

- Want to quickly refresh their skills

- Want a preview of a technical topic before investing lots of time and money into it

- Have an interview in 30 minutes and desperately need something, anything

The goal is to get people hooked on a subject - give them a basic overview of what's going on, then lure them in with increasingly more complicated tutorials.

All possible thanks to the YouTube instructors who are kind enough to put up amazing content for free.

I think this should be more specifically referred as game engine programming (although, this is certainly a gray area).

Engines (for example, the Unreal Engine) take care of the really hard part for the vast majority of the games, leaving the devs to take care of the rest. This also supports the theory of a sibling post, that mid-tier game programmers are worse than mid-tier webdevs.
American outrage towards the rights of women in Iran is so fake it’s comical.

They just banned abortion in several states and not a peep from anyone. Where is the outrage for American women?

Google search absolutely does hallucinate completely fictitious results. It's called SEO spam.

Google just gives you associations provided by random other people on the internet. It's largely garbage, most often deliberately disingenuous (to make you look at an ad). Ad revenue models for the internet encourage the generation of this type of false material.

A better criticism would be that the same thing will happen to something like chatgpt -- and the question is whether the model for analysis can better handle it at scale.
Huawei designs its own ARM based chips and modems that BBK and Xiaomi do not.

I don't know that it's necessarily so much unpleasant emotions

Let me paint a picture:

My maternal grandparents are country folk, from Kentucky. My grandfather was an electrical engineer and a sort of whizz kid type. Architected/drafted and built his own house, made youngest highest-ranking naval officer in Coast Guard history, stuff of that sort.

Having lived their entire lives together, they are on very different sides of the political spectrum. My grandmother is... unfortunately, a somewhat stereotypical Kentucky old white lady. You can guess her stance on things like immigrants and who she voted for. I love her but I have to try to blank out some of the things she says.

My grandfather on the other hand will just say things like "Well, you have to try to see it from their side.", and "Don't you think that's a bit of a generalization?"

But God help you if you cross the old man. I've done it once in my life and rarely seen a scarier thing.

So (IME), you can have political tolerance separate of your emotional tolerance and emotional experiences.

Political tolerance (for me) really boils down to: "Treat others how you want to be treated; Live and let live" which seems to me the most logical/reasonable way to go about it.
I find academic fads fascinating. "Intelligence" has become a taboo word, and so we find "cognitive ability" in its place, which is I guess a shibboleth for the in-group when you mean intelligence.
Emacs is generally used as a normal program that connects to a Wayland compositor (Wayland speak for window manager). The idea is to instead make Emacs behave as a compositor, essentially connecting directly to Wayland and bypassing other window managers.

Yeah, a lot of review inflation in the US. I see loads of 4-star reviews on Goodreads as well as the restaurant review apps. I wish people would use the entire range as it makes the review more valuable.
> in terms of software complexity, video games are second only to OSs.

In these days it should be "game ENGINES are second only to OSs."

There are so many good game engines out there; Unity, Unreal, Godot etc. etc., and it's crazy easy to create a game these days.

What's more interesting, though, is that how much "game programming" differs from "traditional programming" in regards to patterns used. Sure, there are lots of similarities, mostly based on the game engine used, but there are some interesting differences.
Two things come to mind when reading this.

First: "as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise"

That's the trick, right? Reality shows that countering crazy ideas with rational argument is not working very well. There are still people in US convinced that "the election was stolen" whatever argument is used, and they will never change their mind (they don't have any reason to change their mind: any argument can be claimed being "part of the conspiracy" so they don't have to accept a result that they don't like).

Second: I don't see why it should be "all or nothing". Intolerance has different degrees of application. It goes from using violence to just refusing to give a platform to intolerant people (which is very mild: they can go everywhere else). It's part of "keeping them in check by public opinion". If someone has an intolerance level of degree 10, we can reply with an anti-intolerance measure of degree 10. If they have an intolerance level of degree 2, why should we not reply to anti-intolerance measure of degree 2?

the problem is ads. there will always be people who will try to promote their results, and it will somehow arrive to ChatGPT. there will be chatGPT SEO, people will try to promote their answers so that ChatGPT will chose these answers.
Think of "what's the best pizza in NY" - SEO would pollute the web with hundreds of different articles which places Pizza Foo as #1, and those articles probably be scanned by OpenGPT.
The good part here is that you might be able to optimize your query like "what's the best pizza in NY, based on /r/pizza subreddit? exclude bots (based on their karma reputation)"
> A few people only getting rich (and buying all the stuff in the ads I guess?)

Yes? What is incoherent about this?

Especially when you consider that while some products are commodities you can just produce more of, a couple of important ones aren't: real estate, influence, power. Unless we change course, the latter will get concentrated on fewer and fewer hands, and maybe we get more of the former in return.
Greaber's interpretation of Smith is just as shallow as extreme right-wing one. And what's worse is Greaber's whole cloth invention of Adam Smith's supposed morality.
As a Canadian I want to point out this article is quite misleading.

The issue is far more systemic than this article claims. In Canada MAID is the 6th leading cause of death, and is rising so fast it is basically guaranteed to be the 3rd cause by 2025.

Doctors that will not back the MAID initiative are fired, every year they expand the criteria under which you can be euthanize, right now they want to expand it to include poverty.Their are reports of children and confused elderly being tricked into euthanasia without their families knowledge. And we get reports on how much all this is saving the government.
Not a framework but I'm tinkering with the following stack:

1. Hasura - DB + Basic APIS

2. Ory.sh for Auth/Authz

3. React on the frontend

4. Windmill.dev for Scheduling/Batch processing/ Background tasks

5. Docker for deployment

6. Fastify + Node JS for glue code (can use Windmill for Glue code too)

I have used Hasura extensively at 2 companies. It's well done and saves a ton of time.

You might also want to look at Retool (and its open-source alternatives). Web dev has become simpler now.

If you like code-focused solution: Rails, Laravel and Django are good options.
This is true in the sense that most android devices are small/cheap off brand or Chinese devices sold across low-income markets, like Africa and the Middle East. Any mid- or top-tier Android devices, such as Pixels and Galaxy devices which compete directly with Apple, are usually on a monthly security update cadence for at least 3 years.
I would recommend Django, but it's really only the backend half of what you're looking for.

What you're describing sounds very nice though.

I've often wanted a VB6 equivalent for the web, but open source.
I do have to say there is something innately refreshing about putting on a vinyl record, and not having my listening habits tracked by an algorithm.

The other day, I happened to have some cash in my pocket and used that to buy a coffee, instead of using Apple Pay.

It almost felt like I was a spy buying something on the black market. Nothing being tracked, nothing to indicate I bought anything. It felt dangerous. It felt cool.

It was exactly how things were <10 years ago. What a thrill.
How is writing things in random languages "intellectual" ?

If I replace a random λέξη[0] in my comments with its equivalent in another language for no reason, is someone being "anti-intellectual" for thinking that's silly?

[0]: "λέξη" means "word" in Greek.
Heh, this reply is pretty-well entirely ad-hom and just-so story. Never mind!
A good, but small step forward.

Generally speaking for this to have any meaning and takes any effect, being the morality police must become punishable by law. Aka, harassing people for their clothing should become an offence that a judge should rule about.

I read about the government structure and all the parallel forces exist in Iran and I doubt officially abolishing the morality police is going to abolish systematic harassment of people in the street by Basij or other organised/semi organised forces.
I don’t disagree with the point you’re making and I too am angry about abortion bans but I’d hardly say there was “not a peep from anyone”. I heard and continue to hear (and make) a lot of peeps.
I do believe Elon could be a deciding factor for a liberal deciding on which EV to get.

I hadn’t thought of formalizing that little game; but I’ve definitely started counting that women can tell me their life story for 1.5hrs and sometimes 3hrs without me finishing much more than “I… I… So you…”.

It’s double-dark: It awakes misogyny in myself (“speaking 95% of the time shows how little importance they give others, and I want room in my relationship”), but it also shows that we have a lot of speech debt towards women (=everyone needs to speak, but not everyone gets their share”).

Your stance is refreshing. You judge everyone! I used to be timid, then went half-extrovert, so it’s encouraging to see there’s room ahead!
why

i think hebrew is fairly phonologically simple, isn't it

on glancing at the overview, the only thing that looks remotely challenging is that [χ] (כ or ח) contrasts with [ʁ] (ר)

even the vowel system is roughly the same five-vowel system used by languages like spanish (and nearly japanese), and both consonantal gemination and phonemic vowel length have been dropped in modern hebrew

we're not talking about something like keresan here

so what are you on about
Get change (coins) and try things from vending machines - particularly, the hot milk tea on a cold morning, but be prepared to carry your trash all day until you get back home. Try foods in supermarkets or convenience stores, especially weird candy. Bring Google Translate to use live translation mode. If you're not sure if your phone has the right bands for high speed internet, or how to get a sim card, you can rent a phone, though a dude in a suit will come deliver it to you and make you sign the contract. Eat a giant bowl of curry rice at a curry rice place where you choose your order from a giant ticket dispensing machine. Make a friend and join them at an Izakaya. In Tokyo, definitely go to Golden Gai and do karaoke in a tiny bar. The Miyazaki Museum requires advanced tickets and is usually sold out. If you go to Hiroshima, do not miss the Peace Memorial Museum, Miyajima Island, the cherry blossoms, or the okonomiyaki.
It's way far more complicated than simply a coup. Though it defenitly was a terrible thing to happen.

Iran has never had an effective justice system (religous reasons / kings' economic monopolies). Without one, nothing like a democracy is possible. It was democratic just on the paper.
Interesting, perhaps it has been fixed. I need to try tomorrow. In August it was definitely broken for several weeks for multiple people.

I still recommend some cash. In many cases cashiers have hard time using foreign cards since there might be prompts they are not familiar with. It's sometimes slow and awkward to pay with foreign cards. But if you prefer it and stay around Tokyo you are 95% fine with a charged IC-card and a credit card.

Actually I have even noticed some places and events in Tokyo do not even accept cash.
It kind of does in case of their new Questions & Answers feature. They often give wrong or nonsensical answers to queries. To be fair, it doesn't hallucinate the results but offers little snippets from the web that answer something else than what was asked.
