> Those settlements are not supported or protected by the Israeli government.

That's not strictly true. No matter what the government's official stance is, IDF soldiers are reported as helping Israeli settlers to raze Palestinian farms, orchards, and even homes on occasion. Just this year, Netanyahu "beefed up security" around the settlements, which sounds like military occupation because it is.[1] Even in cases where the government does not explicitly help the settlers, they don't punish violent crimes nor theft either.

> Why isnt Hamas just shooting rockets at the settlements and not Israel proper?

That's a good question. I don't have a good sense of what it's like on the ground so don't count my speculation for much, but I would guess that because Hamas knows their rockets aren't accurate (they're not designed to be, they're cheap and produced using poor equipment), they decide to launch them in directions where a positive hit is most likely. It may be that the settlements themselves are too small or sparse to have much real impact, even if it seems like it would be more symbolically relevant.

> Why do you believe that is wrong?

I believe what is wrong is the application of the word "should". Many societies have occupied that land historically, and the Abrahamic religions all consider it a site of immense power and importance. It's true that the region was the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity and that Islam was born further down the Arabian peninsula, but the history of the past 2000 years doesn't impose enough of a moral imperative to justify mass occupation and upheaval of people who are trying to live their lives. More glibly, if the religious folks are inflicting such pain and suffering on entire groups of people based on what amounts to in-group bias, I don't consider that pro-social and want that behavior to stop. We should not tolerate those who make people miserable and sometimes kill them in the name of some god.

it's 2023 and I can't plug my phone into a dock or monitor without fancy bits. At least I can plug in a USB and and it can act as a host.

I can't really agree. I think it's a sad indictment of this field that we so easily will throw away significant efficiencies - even if it's only a few milliseconds here or there.

Software today is shit. It's overly expensive, wastes tons of time and energy, and it's buggy as hell. The reason that it's cheaper to do things this way is because, unlike other engineering fields, software has no liability - we externalize 99.99% of our fuckups as a field.

Software's slow? The bar is so low users won't notice.

Software crashes a lot? Again, the bar is so low users will put up with almost anything.

Software's unsafe garbage and there's a breach? Well it's the users whose data was stolen, the company isn't liable for a thing.

That's to say that if we're going to look at this situation in the abstract, which I think you're doing (since my initial interpretation was in the concrete), then I'm going to say that, abstractly, this field has a depressingly low bar for itself when we throw away the kind of quality that we do.
I honestly thought I was going crazy for a few minutes.
Maybe an opto-isolator on each signal line at the HDMI end? HDMI inputs are generally on devices that have their own power source, so it's not like they need the power coming over the cable; and they're also generally on devices that have the room for active components like an opto-isolator inside them.
Or, rather, that's on the elevator (ba dum,crash)
Try it with RLS policies that have any plain JOINs in them to reference other tables and you'll see execution times balloon massively (as in, orders of magnitude worse) for a lot of simple use cases, because it's then doing the RLS checks against every involved table to determine if your original RLS check is allowed to use them. The only way around that if you have multiple tables involved in determining access is to use cached subqueries with SECURITY DEFINER functions that aren't subject to the recursive RLS checking.
So… the same connector as Thunderbolt, and it can deliver video like Thunderbolt. And in both cases it’s running DisplayPort over the connector.

I’m a big fan of vernier scales from my machining days, and it wasn’t until I read this site that I learned why: human vision has what’s called “vernier hyperacuity”: the ability to detect slightly misaligned line segments at up to 10x the acuity of regular vision. So that’s why they always felt so precise and easy to read!

Unfortunately I can’t make much sense of the clock presented here. It would help me understand if you had a digital clock next to the vernier clock and both were running at 60x normal speed.

I‘ve personally had similar issues with both “real” mini DP as well as USB-C to DP cables, adapters, or USB-C native monitors. Conversely, I’ve also used USB-C video without any hiccups in other device constellations.

It depends much more on the combination of monitor, source, and cable, than on native DP vs USB-C, in my experience.
In any case, this is admitting that the system is more about circumstances, connections, and luck, not so much about abilities or merits of your work. But this is really why meritocracy doesn't exist - the measure of merit is ultimately subjective...

It's a corporate shit test. A shit test is a manufactured grievance a corporation uses to test the mettle, competence and confidence of its prospective employee. It is an intentional provocation accompanied by an implicit and subconscious desire that the prospective employee put his foot down, set reasonable boundaries and demonstrate that they will not be bullied, nagged, shamed or guilted into submission. Its purpose is to confirm for the corporation that the prospective employee is capable of doing what needs to be done to provide for and protect the corporation and its subsidiaries. The subconscious thought process is, "If the prospective employee can't stand up to me, how will he be able to deal with the suits in corporate who keep us up all night with their bureaucratic machinations, let alone help bag a big client or fend off the software bugs or the angry customers?"

The worst thing a prospective employee can do when his corporation is shit testing them is assume the grievance is genuine and cave in to the interviewers. Despite them seeming to demand that the interviewee submit, if they do, the corporation will lose respect for the prospective employee, and once the corporation loses respect they will believe that they have invited a prospective employee who is not a good culture fit, which in turn makes the interviewers angry and resentful of the prospective employee. The interviewers will then escalate the tests, each grievance becoming more and more outrageous and irrational in a desperate bid for the prospective employee to finally draw a line and say, "this far, no further."

I wonder... With MS's virtualization based security, and the Arm/Cheri proposals, if it isn't time to revisit much of the capability hardware that AMD removed when they designed long mode. Never mind the long list of C mitigation hardware that both intel and arm are now reinventing.

The 4 layer security architecture that the 386 originally proposed, user, privileged library/service, driver space, and kernel, now with the addition of a hypervisor layer would be a good starting place for modern OS privilege separation. Plus base + size restricted pointers with an attached privilege provided by the 386's variable length segments are the kinds of things that CHERI is trying to bolt on using a slightly different paradigm. Even call gates if used between different modules/etc would have acted as a control flow mitigation technique likely partially obliviating the need for CET, PAC and BTI.

So it wouldn't surprise me at all, if in another 20 years 90% of the 386's capability model has been bolted back onto AMD's long mode in a slightly different, and likely worse way.

> The computer world pretty much standardized on DisplayPort already

Do you know why that is? I live in the Apple world do I didn’t follow the changes.

Last time I had a PC it was VGA and DVI, which gives you a sense of the timeline. Then it seems to have been HDMI for a while (?) and now seems to be moving to DisplayPort.

Is there a reason DisplayPort over Thunderbolt didn’t catch on? Maybe something about how common add-in GPUs are making implementing TB harder?
Cloudflare tunnel does support SSH on top of the main HTTP offering, but if it didn’t, it would be the kind of use case for this. And generally anything that talks something-over-TCP but not HTTP, so XMPP maybe? Databases, cameras and other IoT stuff?

And if you’re asking why anyone would even do that, like why use Tunnel at all, then well, many people are behind all kinds of NAT or, like me, on a public IP with my ISP’s stateful firewall preventing anyone from talking to me. CF Tunnel allows you to hide all that in a nice outgoing TCP connection and if your firewall allows that (which it probably does), you’re golden.

Not OP, but if you mean that ~200 page doc, it's pretty good but has some issues and inaccuracies some places, but it might just be me. Some things like how carries are supposed to work in some edge cases, for example, but I think it was written under the assumption that the reader would be familiar with a standard Z80 chip.

Something else I noticed was that there were some specs that I guess the gameboy follows, but not exactly. For example with swapping pages, it's supposed to take up to (I forget the actual numbers) 50 cycles, but the actual gameboy always finishes in exactly 38 cycles, and some games are written for that.

In the end, what worked for me was finding a working emulator that would output the registers' states every operation, and then making sure mine would match up with it.
Got it - I was wrong about that second part. The restaurants around you don't serve people who are poor, or people under 18. Smart choice.

Several restaurants around you (I've never seen one, ever) being bigoted and rejecting business, does not mean your general statement is true. 99.(99999?)% of physical businesses also take cash. A blanket generalization, like the statement to which I replied, is based on - umm - the general case. a .0001% case of it being true doesn't make it true.

Trees you see, don't grow on land. Because I saw one growing through the water in a shallow lake once.

Here in the real world, the polar opposite of what was stated is actually true. In fact, I'll bet you a lot more businesses Only take cash than only take credit. Adding credit to a business that does cash (most businesses), is expensive. Adding cash to a business that does credit (count them on one hand) is also expensive.

You seem to not understand that, so I do have more tree and fern examples - just ask. You'll have to wait a couple of days if you want other kinds of flora however, as my brain turns slowly.
$10B is less than 1% of Alphabet today so it could have been a typical angel deal like $100K for 5% (with subsequent dilution).
Ah, that's an interesting distinction. Makes this spec seem pretty much useless. Guess they had to put something out rather than give up control of their proprietary spec.

As it happens rich kids are the ones who get more chances at bat cause they have fall backs etc..

It is possible but you have to do things very differently, for example use monoids. There are a few compilers implemented on GPU, including Aaron Hsu's co-dfns and Voetter's compiler project[1]. The parentheses matching problem itself (the core of parsing) has long known efficient parallel algorithms and those have been ported to compute shaders[2] (disclosure: blatant self-promotion).

> Then it seems to have been HDMI for a while (?)

Not really. HDMI is basically DVI++ but it's first and foremost a TV and video interface.

Once DVI started to be limiting, both PCs and high-end monitors adopted DP. HDMI came to PCs and monitors later, sometimes with limitations, for instance my Dell U2711 couldn't run at its native resolution over HDMI. A few years later UHD 4:4:4 was literally impossible from a PC GPU before HDMI 2.0, while not a problem even on older DP 1.2.
Simple as in “not requiring protocol level conversion”.

There is a similar situation with DP++ to HDMI adapters; they need to only shift voltage levels (3.3V for DP vs. 5V for HDMI) since the DP++ port can output “HDMI on DP wires”, but actual DP to HDMI conversion involves actually translating things at the pixel level.
So, it's like two factor, but without the first factor?
i'd say that it's a bit more readable:

run(() => { return foo })

looks better than, and assuming pre-existing knowledge of what `run` does, is more understandable than
