Berbers were considered a different group than Arabs and still today there are distinctions. There is a distinction between the Almohads and later Almoravids who later invaded Al-Andalus and their different ways and culture than the previous Andalusians of the Umayyad Caliphate.

You can check out for yourself, most of the Muslims in Andalusia were from converts from Hispania by the later periods.

>Half of the Christians in Al-Andalus are reported to have converted to Islam by the 10th century, with more than 80% by the 11th century. Many Christians who did not accept Islam as their religion became increasingly Arabized in terms of culture.

[1].

When the emphasis is on the word invasion of Hispania by the Moors, but not on the invasion of the Christian kingdoms to the north (often termed the “Reconquista”), it is part of a politically biased narrative to support the idea that the Kingdoms like Castile, Asturias, Aragon, etc were merely retaking what was theirs. But in reality this was its own invasion and propaganda was used to justify a “Reconquista”. They forged an imaginary connection to the Visigoths in order to create the idea that Iberia was all theirs for the taking.

You can look this up, for a long time the term Reconquista was not even mentioned, it was used as a political tool to grab more land & claim a fight for Christendom. But the truth of Al-Andalus is that it was much more mixed up than this simple dichotomy. Even Castile had a religious edict of tolerance until they chose to revoke it following the establishment of control over Granada.

A lot of Spanish nationalist thought and the historical Catholic narrative constructs the idea that the Moors were merely foreigners. But Al-Andalus featured intermarriage and largely voluntary conversion of natives of the land.

There are even documentaries about the Moriscos who went in hiding in mountains and various ways they worked around the Spanish oppression at the time & attempt to root out their culture and religion.

For more on details of the original entry of the Moors into Iberia and how minorities like Jews welcomed the new rulers, see [2].

It hung in the sky exactly like a brick wouldn’t, and had a weird, knobbly shape - and as the jets approached, it became clear it was pretty sizeable. It was also quite definitely what the typhoons were there to investigate, as they immediately flew towards it, and I would be prepared to write it off as a weather balloon were it not for the ensuing cock-and-bull story, and the cloud that materialised around it as they neared.

Which is comparable with South Korea.

And looks to be tied to poor work-life balance, lack of workplace flexibility, lack of parental leave, high cost of living etc rather that macro-enonomic issues like debt levels.

Yeah my anecdote is similar. My parents lived 25 minute drive from Kanata (Ottawa suburb), a proper tech hub. The drive was over rural roads, not highways . And they had no infra. Internet was a terrible satellite. Water pump. Septic tank. It wasn’t wilderness or anything. Just farmlands, mostly occupied by non-farming owners at that point.
It shouldn’t be a big issue, fuel tanks of that size aren’t just empty spaces. They have baffles inside to prevent sloshing.
I’m by no means a test police. I’m in fact opposed to a lot of mindless testing for the sake of it. But there are places where unit tests shine, and this is one of them.

If you mean that criticism is only allowed if you are willing to commit labor, I disagree with that. I always welcome critique myself - it may be something that I’ve missed. The maintainers always has the last word. As long as there are no hidden expectations, it’s all good.
It’s not like the latter division is an obviously stable way to analyze the issue.

If we just ran a larger deficit, say 27% of GDP, that ratio would be (temporarily) much lower at only 25% of new borrowing. But that wouldn’t be obviously “better”.
I primarily use Jellyfin through the app on my Roku stick. Works pretty great for me and my family.

The Boeing 787 is primarily made from carbon fiber, including the wings which experience a mix of tensile and compressive loads thousands of times over their design lives. Of course deep sea submersibles occupy a much smaller market where a comparable degree of rigor may not be justified, but I think it's silly that everyone suddenly seems to be a expert in composite and/or submersible design.
> The US just lost a 20 year war in Afghanistan against cave dwellers with Soviet-era rifles, homemade explosives and random bits from the bottom of a toolbox.

To be fair the US left Afghanistan and the remaining Afghani army crumbled to the taliban pretty quickly.

I’d say the two situations are very different, the US successfully occupied a country that was ~7000km from them.

The Russians have so far failed to take a city that’s ~200km from their own border in about 1 and a half years.
Agreed. I believe "competency" is orthogonal to "liberal constitutional-republican and/or democratic values".

This is exactly what I mean when I say that we are not at The End Of History. Western values need not necessarily win out. The belief in that inevitability is the source of the west's sclerotic apathy, and without correction will lead no where good.

Anyone taking out loans for a PhD in the UK is a fool. Not only are our PhDs generally less well regarded than those from the EU and US, but there is also an abundance of grant funding available. If you can't get paid as part of a grant (and hence have fees taken care of) for a PhD here, then either the field of study has little economic value, or you are not considered good enough.
Most developers think in abstract terms all the time. We can easily see the variables take shape and create our intended reality.

But for a lot of people that never do that, that's hard, the more closer edit mode is to reality to easier it is to understand what it will look like and the less brainpower it takes the creator. But yeah in some cases with notion the difference between read and edit mode is not significantly indicated.

Depending on your Total PFAS blood level, you are at increased risk for certain medical conditions which require ongoing monitoring by a physician. Knowing this may prevent the development of future diseases or allow you to catch it early in its progression. NIH graphic: https://res.cloudinary.com/mpsh87/image/upload/v1687923551/N...

If your level is significantly elevated (>20 ng/mL), you can audit your environment by testing your tap water and installing a reverse osmosis whole house filter (expensive). If your level is low, you don't need to do any of this. By eliminating point source exposure, your PFAS levels would naturally decline in time.

Lastly, I bring up therapeutic phlebotomy as interesting emerging research because it points in a concrete direction to something that is very actionable (pending more study).

Edit: grammer
I was once lucky enough to take a physics class taught by the head of the department, and I remember one of his policies on tests or homework was that if you got an answer that was off by 1/2 or 2*pi or anything like that, he'd nonetheless issue full credit because "you got all the physics right."
Personally I'm heartbroken watching Diablo IV. There are many unpolished details, mounts rotate dead at the center, they simply seem to have no turning animation. Characters' feet slide instead of planting correctly on many scenarios. Blizzard didn't use to miss on these things.

> Modern Monetary Theory

Modern Monetary Theory basically enshrines the fact that scamming the general public of its wealth is a perfectly fine practice, especially when they don't notice it's happening, boiling frog style.

It also only works if - like in the case of Japan - the debt is held internally to a country, a captive audience if you will, which has no choice but to be ridden roughshod by its rulers.

Is the US sovereign debt held internally? I don't know, but my bet would be that a large chunk isn't.

Although that may no matter as long as they are the planet's hegemon, which sort of makes any debt holder internal.

But that latter status quo may not last very much longer.
> extraordinary proof

Anti-vaxxers show us there is no such thing.
Maybe a better comparison is to a post war economy? The US paid off the WW2 debt in about 17 years through ordinary taxation, but US taxes today are much lower than they were after WW2, at least for the very rich.
I managed to install those packages and now Blender recognizes my 6700XT as a HIP-capable device, however selecting the GPU and switching to render view crashes Blender with a segfault, I might have to do some investigation to see if I can fix this. Thanks for the help.
I'm guessing they've probably implemented baffles within the tank, but even if there wasn't it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Once they are able to get going and are not stopping quickly for emergencies, they should be as stable, if not more stable, compared to a regular bike.
From the article:

> After a grueling 304-lap test, Acerbis found they needed to use sponges to combat the sloshing inside the tank at the expense of losing some volume. The final tank weighed 15.2 kg (33.5 lbs) and could hold 108 liters.
Also you would need to technically zero out all positive bank accounts, since they are debt owed to people by the bank.
Monitoring if a pain, but lack of monitoring is a bigger pain.

I agree that monitoring doesn't often get the funding it deserves, but find it amusing/ironic that an article about the importance of monitoring also off-handedly diminishes the value of monitoring with

> "Guess your metrics system is now a production critical system instead of the debugging tool you thought it was"

Monitoring should be considered production critical by default
100% agree. The culture is a huge factor as well, but in some of the environments that I encountered before and after, that culture was there, but the tools didn’t allow the same cohesion.

To your point, other experiences have shown me the ego that rears it’s ugly head when trying to move that way in an env that didn’t have that culture. At FB there was a lot of candor, but in other environments I feel like I’m going to hurt someone’s feelings in code review, or even just watching what I say in slack messages. People take work too seriously in some companies. It’s so rewarding to have fun with it.

They used to say “Nothing at FB is someone else’s problem”

I hope they still do.
> I am not very good with people though.

It's not about being good with people. Plenty of people are introverts - that's fine. Many are neurodiverse. However, it's pretty important in society to be honest and not-fraudulent. You've lost a lot of trust. It's not that you're not good with people. You're manipulative and people are not good with you anymore. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrickcai/2023/06/04/stable-di...

A rule of thumb seems to be that oil drop test : PFAS make fibers grease-repelling.

Of course it could also just be from a very thin (and much less toxic I assume ?) layer of polyethylene that those non-recyclable "paper" cups seem to use ?
It's absolutely true that, if the USG were in possession of extraterrestrial technologic artifacts (ETA's, must credit me for this coinage), it would be illegal for people with firsthand knowledge to disclose them. But lack of firsthand evidence of ETA's does not constitute evidence of the existence of ETA's. It would be illegal for me to disclose the existence of a +4 Wand of Magic Missile, too, if such a thing existed. But regardless of what I say I've heard about DoD custody of D&D items, we both know they don't exist.

The rest of this: I don't care, except that you have to work yourself into contortions to simultaneously argue that all firsthand reporting of ETA's has been stymied by legal threats from DoD, but Grusch's claims are true because they haven't been.
And on the flip side, why would you ever loan money to someone if you knew you would be forced to forgive some portion of it?
Yeah, I struggle to see how a government convinces a population that they should switch to a currency where every penny they spend can be traced.
Well said. If you're not well informed, this isn't for you.
Heh, it takes a lot of work to convert illegible scribbles in lab notebooks to well-formatted numbers and descriptors that make sense to anyone else but the person who did the experiment.

This includes other lab members on the same project...

Whoa whoa whoa -- let's not get carried away there, Mr. Optimistic-pants.
In an interview with Stockton Rush, and sure we should take his insights with a grain of salt, he stated that in deep sea submersibles it's not about weight, but buoyancy. The carbon fiber is significantly more buoyant than titanium, meaning they didn't need very special foam and ways to mount it like is used in Alvin.

They are considered because of politics. New Jersey politicians have zero to gain, and their constituents have something to lose. New York may decide to give zero damns and risk litigation (who knows, maybe there's an interstate commerce angle?). Or they might throw them a symbolic bone.

Look everyone had to work on optimizing the game economy to make sure the seven in-game currencies all funnel into making sure players keep paying throughout the day, each day, every day. There's simply no time to fix irrelevant S3/P3 stuff like "giving models animations" or "pathing". Those things only generate dollars once, they have no value.
The buildings are nice, but the urban design is absolutely awful. Saw an exhibit about him in NYC, I think at MOMA, a few years back, and it was all these monumental buildings separated by gigantic plots of land with multi-level highways between them, absolute madness, totally anti-human. The exhibit I saw included models related related to Plan Voisin [1].

> If you take his idea of raising buildings on pilotis to allow the garden to extend beneath the residence, this is obvious nonsense because you can’t have a garden without rainfall and sunlight.

I feel like this is textbook Corbusier. He designed for buildings and cities that looked beautiful from the scale of the architect, standing miles above them looking down. Actual humans on a human scale do not want cities like this.

To be fair to him, I believe he was reacting to the dense cities of the time which were centers of disease and destitution, filled with pollution and sewage. Cities now are much cleaner and more livable, especially those that DON'T follow his model of an ideal city.

It’s a part of revenue.

Pretty sure they have some licensing revenue (clothes, accessories, products,etc) and, possibly, some exclusivity income.
In the article, it says they added sponges in the tank for that exact reason after they had a lot of sloshing during testing.

I believe this is no longer strictly true for UAP-related information [1]. Congress has gotten much more serious about offering legal protections to those who have knowledge about UAP programs.

Apps are the main driver. If there isnt a very strong client ecosystem it will always be niche. I run jellyfin side by side just waiting for a good tvos client
Does Jellyfin have user friendly clients for iOS, Android, Roku, AppleTV and various SmartTVs?
Exactly. Even if the software is never updated with any new features or changes, it still requires constant maintenance to fix bugs, patch security vulnerabilities, support new hardware, and OS updates. It costs money to maintain software, and a lifetime license isn't going to pay for a lifetime of updates.
There are numerous sources of legitimacy. Perceived competence is one of them, it is popular in Communist China, but rejected here because it depends on things the elite think are out of their control.

There is an appeal to tradition (we follow the same hollow rituals that our ancestors did, see the last few scenes in The Parallax View to see that mocked or the Schoolhouse Rock version of “How a bill becomes a law” for something more earnest8 or a constitution (Not that great because nobody who’s been alive for the last century has given consent.). The right in the U.S. used to think it owned the constitution but it seems to have given up on that and these pillars of legitimacy now belong mainly to the Democrats.

The right now seeks legitimacy through “we take a really extreme position and stick to our guns.”
> but can someone explain what the intended steady state is?

There is no intended steady state. (Also, projections of government debt to size of the economy into the future fluctuate wildly based on current circumstances, because they almost never have a reasonable basis for predicting the combination of future economic conditions and future fiscal decisions.)
Evidence from London strongly suggests congestion and traffic will decrease.
This thread is full of "I don't want to believe and/or can't".

If it's legit, could people itt put down their confirmation bias and handle that we're not the smartest around, not top of the food chain, that our governments have lied to us and kept it wrapped sealed through compartmentalization/removed from oversight through third party contractors for decades, have hidden clean energy tech from tax payers so private entities could profit, that people have been murdered to hide this tech/reality, among a long long list of other implications?

Of course if true, but from the looks of what's coming down the pipeline, it's no longer "haha little green men believing, xfiles wishing, tinfoil wearers", and more of "criminal acts have been committed out of greed and keeping control. Better get our heads out of the sand".

Pucker up, because this is likely going to flip all of our realities upside down in a weird, maybe even frightful, and extreme way within the next few years.
So the US is like a Google or Amazon, always growing? And so it can take on more debt.

By the way, you might be interested to know that recent reporting [0] (by Rolling Stone contributing editor Seth Hettena on the Substack SpyTalk, the media project run by veteran former Newsweek national security reporter Jeff Stein), based on legal filings in Guantanamo Bay cases against 9/11 plotters, suggests that the FBI believes the CIA did fund some of the 9/11 terrorists, in the sense that they were cultivating them as intelligence sources. The mundane explanation is not that they sanctioned or even knew about the 9/11 plot, but rather that they failed to share intelligence with the rest of the intelligence community because they didn't want to compromise their source. But there is credible evidence to suggest that the terrorists were not only on the radar of the CIA, but were being actively developed as sources.

What you're asking for simply isn't possible (at least in the general case) because of two reasons:

1. A CSS stylesheet cannot be interpreted without a corresponding document (HTML, usually) with which to test CSS selector rules against.

2. Excepting static sites, HTML is generated dynamically, which means (thanks to our old friend, The Halting Problem) impossible (in the general case) for tooling to use static-analysis-based approaches for CSS linting when given even a basic document-outline or structure for, for example, a React/JSX application.

(CSS static-analysis also got 100x harder when the `:has()` selector was introduced, because it invalidates a number of optimizations possible due to CSS's original (and strict) "forward-only" design (i.e. before `:has()`, CSS selectors could only match elements based on their ancestors or previous-siblings: never their descendants or next-siblings, which also meant that selectors didn't need to be re-evaluated as the document's HTML was still being loaded)

-----

Existing tooling does what-it-can, for example, I've been often surprised at how well Visual Studio (not VS Code)'s HTML/Razor editor can make very reasonable CSS class suggestions when typing-out HTML - and while there's often good stuff in the Node/npm ecosystem, especially for typical frontend dev scenarios, like building SASS/LESS in a Grunt build), a common problem I've run into is the tooling breaking completely whenever I want to use an ultramodern CSS feature, especially those that introduce a new syntax - YMMV, of course.
