I'm not a religious scholar either, but if we're discussing what Islam says is the purpose of fasting, then yeah it couldn't be clearer in that verse. If you want to derive a sense of compassion for all beings from the idea of God-consciousness/piety/taqwa, then yeah you may have a point that it is a secondary effect of fasting, but Arabic has adequate expressiveness to cater for that if that was the prime motive, so I disagree that that is the central reason for fasting.

Bad advice. I've seen people give notice way in advance, being terminated on the spot.
There is a free and independent press, but they're not the ones owned by Bezos and friends. This leads into OP's point - that you need to always be doing the work yourself of triangulating on the best approximation of the truth. If you give that up, then you're a prime candidate for manipulation.

Make no mistake, there are strong and concerted efforts by very powerful organizations to control what the masses see. And you will see some dissent even within places like the NY Times, but there are real bounds to expressible thought (all the news that's fit to print). Others have covered this ground for decades a lot better than myself.

Kind of? Surely unix file path conventions are of a similar age (if not older), yet somehow they seem to exhibit much less weirdness..
> way harder to stop the proliferation of software than hardware

Two interesting thoughts that shake out of that:

- Hardware that used to be exotic and easy to control proliferation of has become significantly easier and cheaper to acquire; as an example, the MEMS gyros and accelerometers that are in your smartphone are $1 devices that 30-40 years ago would have been the size of a shoe box and orders of magnitude more expensive. Alternatively, you could download/develop code for a high-precision high-speed GPS receiver using an RTL-SDR or other low-cost software-defined radio for $20. For night vision/all-weather, you can get a decent resolution uncooled MWIR camera on AliExpress for about $1000; these have historically been ITAR-controlled, but when a factory in China starts pumping them out, ITAR kind of goes out the window.

- Software makes a lot of the exotic hardware less important too. For example, the terrain following system in a Tomahawk could likely be implemented on a $100 Jetson Nano and a low-cost global-shutter camera. Kalman filters, compute power, and redundant $1 sensors can compensate for crappy sensors.
VA quality is very much a regional thing.

A friend of mine (Iraq vet) has the worst experience with the VA offices in Southern California VA offices, they regularly fuck up his prescription refills and refuse to issue him extra/backup scrips so he often has gaps in his medication regimen that debilitate him until the refill comes in.

He moved back up to Oregon last year, solely for access to more functional VA offices. Another friend keeps his residence in Arizona and regularly travels back for appointments, again to avoid dealing with CA VA.
Is it a weird path? It's just a simulated computer with hostname wsl$. It looks like this is just a network share server running on the loopback interface. Similarly, \\wsl.localhost\ will also show you your WSL files. The dollar sign has some weird special meaning to the Windows security system (trusted account, local computer, etc., in AD it's related to this mess: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/core-infrastructure-a...) but it's essentially just a standard Windows UNC paths.
That's base without equity. There's no equity play here.
Is this the new "Android people are poor"?
For my 55th Birthday last summer, I pulled my original Atari 800 out of storage and played Star Raiders and MULE non-stop for a weekend. Great fun. The most challenging part of getting the 800 running was finding an old enough TV that I could connect the game box too.

I also couldn't get my 810 disk drive working, so I found a copy of MULE on eBay burned on a ROM, so that was a nice find.

Great old machine, I think I'll buy one of these, the addition of HDMI and USB alone are worth it. Plus it'll be fun to write a game on that thing, something I dabbled in as a kid and was my start as a programmer so so long ago now.
Right, it's hidden and has a warning prompt, and I expect Apple to do something similar. Probably with an even more ominous warning.

Miami’s Crypto Dream Lives On
I don't think so, maybe just outdated.

ca 2000 when I was in HS, it was clear that the font & format limits were to also help get students used to submitting printed standardized manuscripts later in academia.

But also to save the teachers from all of the same empty formatting flourishes which people do in the corporate world too. Colored text, unrestrained use of bold, fonts which are harder to read ...

12 pt, double spaced, Times New Roman was honestly a standard which started to be taught as early as elementary school.

In uni, strict formatting rules weren't uncommon either! At my school, within the humanities, formatting was strict to get students used to APA/Chicago and more persnickety guides.

Even in Analytical chemistry, charts made in Excel were banned outright because the prof wanted to push students onto tools capable of generating publication-ready graphics.
Static-PHP-CLI: Tool to Compile a Statically Linked PHP Binary
We do all the time. In industrial automation COM ports are still shockingly popular, although it's usually the USB emulated variety. On a lot of our development and on some of our production tools we end up with COM20 or COM30, not because we have that many running at one time but because over time we've plugged in that many distinct devices. Nowadays most drivers will assign COM(n+1) when they see a device with a new serial number.
Yes there is two main opinions for scholars. The first one is obvious, people in this place follow the fasting time of the nearest place that have sound sunrise/sunset times. The other is to follow the fasting times of mecca.
I do not think these "AI" programs are an issue at all. The way I see it, the only problem is that one side suddenly had the bright idea that a nuclear war could be won, these toy programs have no role in any of that.

The "problem" is really that the need for security became obvious in the web/networked world first. Think back to how insecure devices were 20 years ago.

That security is slowly trickling down to other areas of the software industry. Even when you have individual engineers or teams who understand that it needs to be more secure, their procedures don't have that built in. And securing the car needs to be done at a system level, which means coordinating across suppliers & subcontractors, which requires management buy-in.

Similar problem in the medical device industry, but at least we have FDA cybersecurity requirements to adhere to.

Putting the truck vs cars issue aside, there is still an incentive to make large wide trucks. The fuel efficiency allowance is based on the vehicle's "footprint" which is the distance between the wheels side to side times the distance between the wheels front to back. This metric comes out to some number of square feet. The fuel efficiency allowance is proportional to the number of square feet. Larger trucks are allowed to consume more fuel without penalty.

Now it turns out that making a truck, say, longer by 10% does not increase the fuel consumption by 10%. If you are a manufacturer, you want to maximize the ratio of the allowance based on the square footage divided by the actual measured fuel consumption of the vehicle. The sweet spot comes out on the large side. So the fuel efficiency regulation, ironically, is causing a trend that leads to more total fuel consumption.
Systemic changes you say? As in laws, made by people…who are greedy? I think there might be an issue there

Excellent_migrations: Detect potentially unsafe operations in Ecto DB migrations
One thing that make Windows paths wired is that Windows API, NTFS and most Windows tools have different restrictions on file paths.

NTFS would accept almost anything. The Windows API (I think of the old Win32 one) would apply most restrictions the article mentions.

But for example not the normalization part. A filename can end with a space, no problem.
That lead me once to a minor bug in .NET Framework. One of the path related functions (I think it was Directory.move) did not correctly apply this normalization and could produce directories with trailing whitespace. Good luck removing/fixing those in Windows Explorer.
> "gain resources to send to the home country"

The resources are already in their home country from the beginning. Then the local elite sell those resources to foreigners and leave their countrymen being poor. Since poor isn't stupid, those countrymen learn to write essays since learning is free. Then they work for foreigners to get some money, so they can buy resources. It's a circle of stupidity.

Everything in life is step by step. I completely understand those who emigrate or work for foreign companies instead of working on improving their country - I had to do that myself after fighting for many years. Nobody can be so patriotic that they throw their life away in that manner. What I don't understand is how the rulers can decide to continue on this road to ruin.

Do you mean a closed-form equation that simply moves from the initial state to the end state in one hop? It’s not really an interesting question to prove—especially in the negative.

In the most general case, it has already been shown that mathematical optimization is NP-hard. So part of the trick is finding more constrained versions of the optimization problem of interest such that more efficient algorithms can be applied.

In many ways, that’s the success story of deep neural networks. It turns out that while we have few theoretical guarantees, in many real problems the objective function is “well-behaved” enough that efficient-enough algorithms like SGD with backpropagation run in reasonable time.
This depends solely on what you're defining as an opportunity. Are the job positions there today? I.e., the "opportunity" that's an alternative to writing essays for foreign nations? Not enough of them. Could they be after a long cascade of primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary development? Yes. But they aren't there today. That's the key thing. People need to put food on the table today.
I don't know if the article changed its clickbaity headline, but I definitely see other news sources using the headline "US warship collides with tugboat in disastrous launch".

Came here to mention []. For those who haven't looked it up, in addition to * and ? as wildcard characters, PowerShell supports "[xyz]" and "[a-z]", meaning "x y or z" and "anything from a to z", so "[a-z]alls" would match calls, falls, walls, etc.

I knew the guy who tested the feature in PowerShell and he was deeply frustrated over the fact that there was no way to escape some sequences. For example, you can loosely match "[abc]" with something like "?abc?" or "[[]abc?" because the [[] indicates exactly one opening square bracket but there's no way (as far as I know) to say "this section ends with a square bracket".

The PM really wanted that feature, though, even though you could probably count on one hand how many times it's been used in real life.

Edit: That guy down there corrected my example.

Isn't Ethernet's CRC-check symmetric? Like a 1-bit parity, except 32-bits?

IE: A 1-bit Parity bit is symmetric, and will *NEVER* miss a single-bit error. 1-bit Parity can only miss 2-bit, 4-bit, 6-bit, 8-bit... errors.

I have an expectation for Ethernet's 32-bit CRC to have a similar property.

EDIT: I looked it up at the CRC Zoo. Ethernet is __NOT__ symmetric. https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/crc/c32/0x82608edb.txt

That means 1-bit, 3-bit, 5-bit (etc. etc.) errors can slip through.

That's how it works and generally it's to the user's advantage. We often set specific parameters based on the device's serial number so getting the same COM port is nice, sometimes the devices are so simple that you cannot query its serial number.

Sometimes I'll do a "blank slate" and delete all my accumulated COM ports in Device Manager (need to enable "Show Hidden Devices").
1- You should abstain from bad things all year round everyday. In Ramadan, during the day, you shouldn't eat, drink, smoke or have sex. This will nullify your fast if you do instantly. However, other things such as lying, backbiting..etc it's also bad and you should abstain from it as much as you can.

2- Big dinners are everyday at sunset. Some people/cultures have several meals before dawn, some other prefer to have just one or two.

3- Nobody get gifts. Usually, it's kids who get new clothes during Eid and they also get money gifted to them (usually small change and can range between $1 and $20 depending where you are). During Eid its required to visit family and friend in their home.
