Yet people still believe them, spread their lies, and believe the US, the country that lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to invade them, and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, because they think if they don't believe Israel and the US, then they side with terrorists.
Great idea and love the initiative. Seems the "db" is in MongoDB. I'd recommend not going the no-sql route and just Postgres. Not an ORM, just postgres. I'd also move off fastAPI and to to something like Tornado for easy scaling and load handling.

Think I read something here about wrapping it in Django's Model paradigm. Personally i think Tornado gives you greater flexibility while not confining you to a particular lock in.

That said, again, great initiative. I forked the project and may even contribute to it.

For bikes the claim is safety, and there's probably some validity to this.

For cars it's part of the experience, not to mention that traditionally the roar level translated to performance.
I agree. The bombing didn't stop after the hospital. Shortly after a major bakery was bombed by Israel, another yesterday along with the third oldest church in the world that was harboring people who lost their houses. The bombing continues now, 6000 bombs were dropped before the hospital bomb. Thousands of civilians in Gaza have died and that's just getting started. The focus should be on an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aide.

> Why do you think the government did this?

You can't seriously disentangle the different factors. Clearly white supremacy was one factor that went into the overall vision. From https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/21/syracuse-new... :

"The construction of I-81, along with the rest of America’s highway system, was a part of the federally funded program in the 1950s called “urban renewal”, which targeted formerly redlined, urban Black neighborhoods, labeled “slums’’, for removal. The former 15th ward neighborhood of Syracuse, once a thriving Black community, was the chosen location to build I-81. As a result, dozens of Black homes and businesses were bulldozed."

"These infrastructure projects prioritized the needs of (largely white) commuters in the suburbs over the lives of poor Black residents in cities. It wasn’t limited to Syracuse or New York state; across the country, federal estimates show about 1.2 million Americans were displaced by urban renewal. That legacy lives on today: in Portland, Oregon, Black residents call part of the Interstate 5 highway that runs from Washington to California their “Robert E Lee statue”. In New Orleans, the Claiborne Expressway has been dubbed a “racist monument”."

> I will posit that it is because voters wanted it to happen.

While you can posit that, bear in mind that racial discrimination was official government policy when the interstate highway system was planned and construction started in the 1950s.

Quoting now from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_flight#United_States :

"In the United States during the 1940s, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, low-cost mortgages through the G.I. Bill, and residential redlining enabled white families to abandon inner cities in favor of suburban living and prevent ethnic minorities from doing the same. The result was severe urban decay that, by the 1960s, resulted in crumbling "ghettos"."

If you use the narrow lens that something is justified because the majority of voters want it, then you end up also justifying racial discrimination during the 1950s.

If the majority of voters want the poorest 25% of the population to subsidize suburban living, is that fair? Because that's what we have, and tyranny of the majority is a failure mode for majority rule. (Even more so given how black adults are dis-proportionally disenfranchised.)

Who is arguing "evil fossil fuel overlords"? That would be ahistorical.

This is the reason I don't work on free software anymore. The entitlement of the users was too great and their demands were too unreasonable.

More than once people have threatened to: sue me, dox me, put a bomb in my mailbox, assault me, kill me, kill my family, sexually assault me, sexually assault my family, plant a bomb under my car, get me fired from work, and spread lies about me on the Internet.

I'm aware that they're a minority of the users of free software. I get that they're probably mentally ill or going through it. I get that maybe they're just a few terrible people, but they by far were the most common messages in my email box from users - users who liked the software or even found it useful weren't enthusiastic enough about letting me know about that. For every 20 threats I got I'd get maybe one message thanking me for the software.

You know what nobody ever did? Offer to pay me a couple of dollars for either consulting support or to implement a feature they needed, but they were more than happy to threaten me with legal action if there was a bug that I had no way to test for.

Putin is 71 and doesn’t look particularly healthy. It’s not clear that he has any strong successor, nor that he would leave such a successor alive if there was one. His government is strained to the breaking point and couldn’t fight off an internal military attack by one of his lieutenants, to the point where they almost reached Moscow in a few hours. When he dies, it seems likely that the country will fall to pieces as different factions try to gain power. Because of the way Putin has suppressed the opposition, Navalny is one of the only people who has any popular legitimacy in that environment. I still think it’s very unlikely he makes it, but prisoner to leader isn’t unheard of.

Whenever I get on a call with an automated system, the first thing I do is figure out what do I need to tell it to dispatch me to a human in the shortest amount of time, sometimes I purposefully phrase it in a way that I know a machine cannot understand.

If I go though the trouble of making a call, then it's usually a complex problem that had no solution in the UI of the service that I am using, therefore it's highly unlikely that some automated system can solve it, if it could, there would probably be a button for it already.

One example would be a tool that you compile in and records some state after every LOC in a method which you are interested in.

If you wanted to use a normal debugger at the same time you would usually be shown your code with the tool's generated code mixed in.

With this you could step through just your code.

I had read all those comments. What I'm saying that is that re-flowable text is just in a very different class than web pages that auto-translate the text, have animations, or run arbitrary code.
I try to limit my intake of news, and so most of the story I only hear from my Tangle subscription[0] which has had a pretty even take on it. I've been impressed with them, so far, but of course everyone has biases and you have to take everything with a grain of salt, etc, etc.

Anyway, I agree that "Hamas said so" is one side, and it's weak. And on the other side you have the still-standing hospital. You also have Biden's statement, which I'm sure is based on the latest evidence he has access to.

But I do want to point out, that two pieces of the evidence you mention: the misfiring rocket video and the voice recordings, if they're what I think you're referring to, were both released by the Israeli government and have been disputed as well. The video had the wrong timestamps, as pointed out by a NYTimes journalist, and the voice recordings were alleged to be faked, by a mainstream UK-based news agency.

It's quite a mess.

> How do ownership costs get driven up by profit-making?

The cost of owning a home for the average person is primarily reflected in the amount they pay for their mortgage. The cost of a mortgage is based on the value of the property as mortgages are secured against the property. The value of a property is determined by demand which is driven up when the market is filled with players who have easy access to capital to turn properties into profit-generating tools.

> Historically, renting has existed for thousands of years. That wouldn't make any sense if owning was (until recently) always a more desirable prospect than renting.

Renting is a very useful tool that many people (including myself) value highly: I rent out of choice. However, renting as a necessity (because it is the only option to live) is the position most renters find themselves in. If you poll the people in your life who are earning an average income you'll find most would much prefer to own their home because it provides much more security and it's typically more cost effective over the long term.

If there's 10 families and 10 houses for sale, each family can own their own home. The most desirable houses will cost more but at the end of the day, every family will own their home at a price dictated by the amount that they can afford.

If there's 10 families and 10 houses but only 5 are for sale with the other 5 owned by a landlord, the price of the houses for sale is pushed up not just based on desirability but also based on necessity, up to the price that 5 of the families cannot afford. At that point, the remaining 5 families need somewhere to live and so they are forced to rent from the landlord who can set their own price. Everyone (including those who were lucky enough to buy their homes) is paying more all because a landlord is involved.

Home ownership isn't the perfect option and so landlords provide some value, however, that value could still be realised without interfering with the ownership market. Most property is built to be occupied by the owner, it's only later that it gets taken out of the ownership pool by landlords with access to capital. Landlords purchasing owner-occupied property are much like cats let outside: they kill everything around them.
I just taught one of my developers how to use a basic Oracle Flashback query to pull a historical version of a table.

This is my cheat sheet:

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT = 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS';

select count(*) from dual
AS OF TIMESTAMP TO_TIMESTAMP('2010/01/01 00:00:00');

I was aware that Postgres had "time travel," but I don't know if it used this syntax, but I am aware that the feature has been removed. I don't know if "AS OF" is still supported. In Oracle, it has been quite helpful.

Edit: Flashback came to Oracle in 9i, when "rollback segments" were replaced by the "undo tablespace" that could present any table as it appeared in the past, limited by the amount of "undo" available. The "FLASHBACK ANY TABLE" privilege is required to see this history on tables that you do not own, and that also conveys the privilege to fully revert tables to their previous contents. You must be a DBA to exercise flashback on tables owned by SYS.
I don't think our ancestors had the luxury of being vegan.

on the evolutionary scale, this is provably false. all the great apes are vegetarian. we have flat, grinding teeth like cows, and long intestinal tracts like cows too -- not the quick, short intestinal tracts of predators or their sharp, pointy teeth.

strictly speaking, not even cows are vegan. not absolutely, perfectly, and totally. one of the weird side effects of ubiquitous cameras today is people have caught cows eating birds that were trapped in fences. it doesn't happen a lot, but it happens.

but overall, with a reasonable margin of approximation, then yes, our ancestors were definitely vegan, at least our evolutionary ones.
That was a lot of words telling us all what introversion isn’t, but not a single word telling us what you think it actually is. Care to try again?
You had the opportunity to explain what introversion actually is, but instead this comment is only what it is not. I don't think that's useful if you are actually trying to help the commenter to which you replied.
Not saying you're wrong but there should be an upper limit. I don't need to hear a motorcycle coming from a mile away while sitting in my living room.

I realized I didn't want to manage profiles, I just wanted separate containers by default. So that's why I use Temporary Containers. I don't maintain a "work profile" or "shopping profile", etc. When I need cookies or other data shared between tabs I will Ctrl + click to open a link in a new tab, with the same existing container.

Now, to organize tabs I use Tab Stash. I put things like 200+ YouTube music tabs in 1 group, 1-off projects in another, k8s stuff in another, job/career postings I need to complete in another, etc. Things that are temporary are shown under the default group at the top. This also allows me to keep most of my tabs "frozen" and out of memory/inactive while still keeping 400+ tabs open.

(Tab Stash is vertical tabs. Sidebery was the fastest, but Tab Stash has the grouping and inactive tab stuff I need)

As I understand it, the sound of certain car engines is carefully engineered and it shows, they certainly have some appeal.

I'm actually a bit surprised we haven't seen more stories like this. I imagine there is a huge amount of espionage activities happening in Silicon Valley (or at least IP theft) that the FBI is trying to investigate so it makes sense they would try to cultivate a network out there.
You do realize that the linked article is actually a daily newsletter, right? That's the explanation for the mixing of unrelated news stories.
I see one but it's useless - too fast to see anything. That's probably the point though, I guess.
Could be, but if the marketing department can push spec change past tested conditions on critical safety components without retesting then there's an organizational/cultural lapse running very deep.

I was a big fan of Stewart’s when he was hosting the Daily Show. I was extremely excited for this new show on Apple. In short, I feel I was the target market.

I watched a few episodes and couldn’t stomach them. His personality seems to have changed since the Daily Show and he just seems so much more self righteous and arrogant. I didn’t enjoy them, even though I am predisposed to be interested in the content.

I also don’t think this is limited to this show. I heard him as a guest on the Strike Force Five podcast and again he came across as just unbearable.

Bond does feel sterile, dated and out of place. I've long argued that its cultural relevance died off after the end of the cold war. Goldeneye took advantage of that setting but subsequent movies did not.

Watching a Bond film feels like the cinematic equivalent of reading a SkyMall catalog. They should shelve the franchise for a decade or two and bring it back recontextualized around whatever geopolitical realities are fresh at that time.
My article for Carrier_IQ was deleted as non-notable for obvious political reasons then recreated yaers later after the spin around the company had been settled. There may also be some intelligence community shenanigans.

It's a great way to delete uncomfortable historic facts. Now it's just a funny little story about a rootkit with no specific political intrigue at all.
This sounds exactly like Silicon Valley approved humor.

People very rarely rely on extra source code generation stages or preprocessors in C#. The Javascript ecosystem is dependent on them because Javascript is the only language that's a first class citizen in the browser. You can also do some pretty expressive things in C# with LINQ, expression trees, reflection, and so on. You can even emit IL at runtime if you really need to.

The only C# generator I'm familiar with is for protobuf. I suppose the P/Invoke generators count too.
Interesting, it was the scene that sprang into my mind as well. Brazil is very much a flawed movie in my mind, but still enjoyable and one that I highly recommend.
Unnecessary is key. Fancy animations, interaction reminders, cookie popups... they arent "necessary", but they make the experience _mostly_ better for both users (convenience), developers (easier development) AND management.

I explained why I think it's rather intentional bombing, than an accident. It makes sense to me. That's all. If IDF will not allow independent investigation as asked for by UN, that's where my thinking about this incident will end for me.

I'm more concerned with Israel's overall genocidal aggression in Gaza, rather than individual incidents.
This sounds only marginally helpful.

Agreed. I think this looks like a lot of fun and could make reading during long flights a lot more comfortable, but $350 on a pre-order is a little steep for me. I can't imagine getting nearly enough utility out of this to justify that price. Maybe there's a category of person for which this is a hit.
