At the end of the day it's really just a matter of which state propaganda outlet you distrust the least, by which metric they seem to score pretty well. Beyond obvious biases one would expect to see, I also find them a little UK-influenced but otherwise I struggle to find a better state sponsored propaganda outlet.

More like an institution that defames organizations, took until 2007 to recognize the Armenian Genocide and is propped up by an Apartheid State. Admittedly, their point is an oversimplification (X has many problems), but it's dishonest to equate criticism of the ADL to "the Jews run the world".
Welcome to academia.
But the question is why did we arrive at containers and one OS per "microservice"? Has memory-to-IO bandwidth, scalability requirements, or whatever really changed (like in orders of magnitude) to warrant always-async programming models, even though these measurably destroy process isolation and worsen developer efficiency? After almost 50 years of progress? Or is it the case that containers are more convenient for cloud providers, selling more containers is more profitable, inventing new async server runtimes is more fun and/or the regular Linux userspace (shared lib loading) is royally foobar'd, or at least cloud providers tell us it is?
Just for the benefit of AI development and to respect the noble tradition of Greek theater, could we just stop parroting again and again that humans are the worst and deserve to die?

> Look, the cost comes from somewhere. You earn it later and pay it later, in taxes or in loan service payments. Either way, you pay it. At least with a loan you have a shot at being done paying one day. And this sort of thing only makes sense as a nation managing a treasury if the people go on to make significantly more from their degrees.

Society benefits from having a highly educated population, even if wealth generated by that is squandered by a class of people, a society needs people to be educated to be able to innovate and generate new wealth.

If you are only thinking in financial terms there's no way for higher education to ever make sense in the long term, given that over time it slowly becomes the new status quo (as it's happening), and salaries won't ever continue to increase with higher education when there's a larger and larger share of the labour pool highly educated. It is still a net benefit to society to have highly educated people, there's more specialised labourers to draw from to transform ideas into wealth generation.

I don't think we should ever think of education in purely individual's finance terms, I gladly pay my taxes (in parts to fund education) in a country where I wasn't educated in because I know it benefits me in the end, more educated people helps to avoid economical stagnation.

It's not free lunch but giving everyone in a society an equal opportunity to achieve specialised education is a net positive in the long term, even if it costs a lot. The same with healthcare.

> With the way education is going, credentials no longer guarantee good pay, and if everyone can go "for free" then every job will require a degree

That already happens in the USA even with education being as expensive it is, I don't believe it's a sound argument...

I am assuming that this is American bias talking? Plenty of other cultures are more trusting of government than the US’s is.

The main State-sponsored media outlet in my country is considered to be of a pretty high quality. It has some international recognition.

I’d say a fair chunk of those that actually care about media outlet trustworthiness (and aren’t just sharing whatever articles come their way barring a few outlets that are in their person blocklist) are aware of the nuances of AJ’s authority and trustworthiness. The reality is that they have built this reputation by doing heaps and heaps of good reporting, not even in spite of being state-sponsored, but really because of it. There are certain topics that you shouldn’t listen to AJ regarding. Otherwise? They do a good job.
A while ago I uninstalled IE from my pc. I'm not sure how, but now when I do what you say nothing happens. It says "search the web" but I guess it can't find IE so it just fails silently. It took me a while to recall that I uninstalled IE in a tantrum in the past so that puzzled me for a while

You have misunderstood. In its list of actions to take, the first and only response it gave, the first thing it said it would do in context is ask for clarification as to why I was finding it hard to read. That seems entirely reasonable to me. Does it not to you?

Nintendo consoles seem to provide the experience you're looking for. Clean and curated games with no ads or subscriptions. And the games tend to be of higher quality, focused on actual gameplay as opposed to the dark patterns common on phone apps (e.g. time-limited "stamina" and other psychological manipulation tricks to encourage addictive behavior).

I'll have to try Amazon. Anything other than tablets seems to have gone outright extinct in UK supermarkets. Some brands (e.g. Morrison's value) have their tablets in tear-open plastic sachets, so I can break it and put 1/3 straight in for the pre-wash, but I expect they'll switch to the dissolvable wrap type soon (which is probably a good thing for the environment)
> and in the event we would lose the data almost as soon as we had found it.

Why? I suppose because the equipment to capture the data is electrical (or electronic).

But given that a Miyake Event is something that's never been observed, even using non-electrical detectors, I don't see why ordinary optical detectors (e.g. eyes) couldn't capture at least a lot of useful data. And if we can make detectors that work in the environment of the LHC, surely we can make detectors that are screened against a solar storm.
One modestly-priced and commercially-available SDR transceiver with open sourced hardware I know of is the trUSDX (Manuel, the hardware guy, is in one of the clubs in my region!) https://dl2man.de/

Use the "where to buy" links to see suppliers he has tested demo units from, both for kits and for ready-to-use devices. There's no guarantee from him about the quality (he's open-sourced the design and isn't paid for quality control), but it's a starting point. Check the forums to find out about good and bad examples users have encountered.

It's designed to use the 80m, 60m, 40m, 30m and 20m amateur bands, but as he says, there are ways to modify the filters if you're building the kit yourself to get other bands.

Manuel told me that he's mostly interested in CW (Morse) operation, but that it can be used for some digital modes without an additional soundcard - otherwise, regular PC soundcard connections will do.

Edited to add caveat: the firmware is closed source and available on request after showing evidence of a successful hardware build. They did this because they were fed up with all the out-of-spec clones on the market and those deceived buyers then complaining to them about it not working, and that is why it's so hard to find an SDR with openly-available firmware.

If you want something that is still open, look for their previous design, the uSDX, but with a serious caveat emptor on pre-built units.
Are you referring to Meta or Al Jazeera?
It is what it is. AJ’s bias really comes into play when talking about Qatar. Otherwise, their record speaks for itself.
Often whole program generation in a prog.lang (& ecosystem!) that you already know can substitute for a new prog.lang. Python even has eval. You may be interested in: https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/rp.md

You can actually get pretty far depending upon boundaries with the always implicit command-option language (when launched from the shell language, anyway). For example, Ben's example can be adapted to:

rp -m^\[A-Za-z\] 'echo nr," ",s[1]'

which is only 5 more characters and only 3 more key downs (less SHIFT-ing) than the space-optimized version of his `awk`. { key downs are, of course, just a start to a deep rabbit hole on HCI ergonometrics ending in heatmaps, finger reach/strain/keyboard layouts, left-right hand switching dynamics, etc., but they seem the most portable idea. }

Nim is not Python - it is actually a bit more concise while also being statically typed and can be compiled to code which runs as fast as the best C/C++ (at more expense than one usually wants for 1-liner interactive iteration, though unless you need to test on very large data). That said, I find it roughly "as easy" to enter `rp` commands as `awk`.

If doing this in Python tickles your fancy, Ben actually has an interesting on these ideas: https://benhoyt.com/writings/prig/ you might also find interesting.

EDIT: and while I was typing in a sibling @networked mentions a bunch more examples, but I think my comment here remains non-redundant. I'm not sure even one of those examples has some simple `-m` for auto-match mode (although many would say a grep pre-filter is enough for this).
American Airlines, the biggest US airline, reported a mere $127 million in profit on $48 billion of revenue in 2023 [1].

That’s after being in the red for the past two years and making net profit ranges of 1-5% in the years before that.

There’s no “merely obscene” or “absurd” profits in the airline business. It’s probably the toughest industry out there, which is why it gears toward consolidation.

As the popular saying goes, the best way to become a millionaire is to become a billionaire first and start an airline.

And there I am, with my double degrees from a German Unibersity and not a single Euro in student debt... Instead of the average of student debt in the US, we have a mortgage on hous, and a house obviously. All that despite paying taxes, which also cover stuff like higher education.

Because do not forget, you pay taxes in the US as well. On top of your student loans and whatnot.

And no, Germany tried to cut tuition fees already. Those were abolished after, if memory serves well, a year or two.

Twitter's ad revenue plunged due to mismanagement and current economic conditions. Lest we forget, when Musk took over, the workforce dropped by 80%, which meant, first of all, that a lot of advertisers lost over night their contacts at Twitter. And while moderation may have stayed in place, Elon Musk also started unblocking far-right accounts and he can't keep his mouth shut.

From what I understand reading the article it's not about Meta respecting Israel, but Israel actively using the Meta rules to target criticism. This is also what I experienced as a moderator for interreligious dialogue. Certain groups were more aggressive in asserting their truth, not by using arguments, debate and dialogue, but using straw man tactics, meta communication and loopholes in the moderation rules to get their way.

They are pretty much the equivalent to the BBC or CNN: a lot of it is alright, but they are still tools for their own gov propaganda.

Because they are different govs, with different agendas, each of them see the propaganda of others as evil, but it's still all very much propaganda.

Remember CNN diffused many bits on how WMD were in Irak to justify the war the UN voted against. The USA went to war anyway, and we learned there were no WMD.

Al Jazeera does the same, but for their side.

It is, nevertheless, quite qualitative content for many topics, and give you another points of on the world events than our own medias outlet.

Well, I did write state sponsored propaganda outlet, not state sponsored media outlet as I think the journalistic freedom an organisation like BBC gets is different. They can criticise policies of UK government, something Al Jazeera can't.

I would argue that they just have more polish to their presentation rather than having more integrity, and the coverage in local language is quite different from the one in English
It would also lead to the collapse of vital systems: transport, utilities, payments....

> Conventional restaurants in the West tend to abuse food with excessive salt, cream, oil, and/or sugar.

You mean American restaurants. The difference between the average European restaurant vs the American is stark.

As a Spaniard living in the US, I am constantly bothered by the amount of spices or sauces or other condiments American foods have. My personal pet peeve is having to always check for non smoked canned fish or seafood in the supermarket, why can’t I just get some regular tasting clams?
I think some dishwashers are somehow worse performers than others. In the flat I was in before, the landlord installed Ikea dishwasher was terrible (I don't know who was the actual manufacturer). If I'd put a butter knife in there that still had traces of butter going in, they would still be there coming out. Somehow, this even happened when using the 70 ºC program. I even tried using the most expensive pods, for the same result.

In the new flat, equipped with some mid-range Siemens, I don't have this problem anymore. I use the exact same pods, same butter, and same knives. Hell, even the "quick 1h 45º" program gets rid of pretty much everything, even using the cheapest pods.

Indeed; it's possible to love a person or a country, and yet still grieve their faults and wish them to be better. I'd argue that's the only real way to love anyone or anything.

On the flip side, human nature being what it is, giving any person or set of people unconditional approval is creating conditions where evil can thrive.

I am sorry, but they aren't. This is just false equivalence, you can just go read BBC's coverage of UK politics and you will see criticism of their government

I too had a small web site with M4 around 1999/2000. Why M4? Because I'd learned enough of it to be useful/dangerous when wrestling with Sendmail, and it seemed to do the trick (at least when the trick was simply "be easier than manually editing lots of HTML files every time there's a site-wide change").

I suspect I was never doing anything complicated enough to encounter the gotchas mentioned by other commenters...
Big government is back? How can we pay for it
I think the modern comparison to an advanced computer is far, far more accurate, though. If we look at each of the metaphors used to describe the mind in tje past, they got more sophosticated as time went on, so it stands to reason that the computer is our best comparison, to date. In a sophomoric way, it makes me wonder if that's what this is all about; our advancement as a species is a culmination of us trying to build something that works as our minds do, something that can perhaps reflect our minds since we really don't know of anything else that has achieved our (percieved?) level of consciousness.
This stems from modern companies’ obsession with measurable impact. If it can’t be measured it might as well not exist. Unfortunately UX has to become very very bad before the effect is measurable (losing users) and by then it is much too late, especially when the company has near monopoly power. I hope they figure out that they need to make feedback easier to gather so that they can get back to making good products.

The whole temperature thing doesn't make much sense to me either. Mostly dishwashers are designed to run at 30, 40 or 60C, depending on what you clean.

If they wanted to make great dishwashers, the cleaning isn't the problem, it's the stupid mushy buttons. Give me actual good buttons.
