> We really have to assume good faith in those who are claiming that destroying military targets that are being used by Russia in an illegal invasion of your country is tantamount to mass murder?

I reject the concept of “just war” in general in all instances and think all war is mass murder, definitionally. “Military targets” is a euphemism designed to diffuse blame for premeditated mass slaughter of human beings. It’s not something anyone wants to do, feel, or think about, so euphemisms like these are practically essential to our ability to cope with the world. There is another conflict happening simultaneously where you can see the exact same labelling-war playing out. The scores of dead children remain dead, the hospital remains in ruins regardless of whether it was a failed terrorist missile or a solemn and justified defense of a victim of illegal invasion. It takes two to tango.

As I said, it’s not popular to be anti-war these days. Humans seem to like retribution and righting of perceived injustice more than they like peace. We still have the death penalty, for instance, a clear violation of our widely agreed-upon standard of human rights.

Furthermore, even in your worldview, an American citizen using nominally American-jurisdiction hardware to enable airstrikes in a war zone that has nothing directly to do with America is an unforced escalation in the proxy war unrelated to “illegal invasion” that invites retaliation against Americans and American space-based assets. It’s a fool’s game even if you subscribe only to Realpolitik and don’t care one whit about the lives of enslaved Russian teenagers.

> We know Russia loves Musk because he supports their illegal invasion of Ukraine.

I have seen precisely nothing to support either of the claims in this sentence. They are speculation, not fact. “If you don’t support me, you de facto support my enemy” is not sound reasoning in war. One may simply be against violence in all forms, which seems much more plausible, given what we know about humans on Earth, especially skeptics like Musk who tend to resist pro-just-war state messaging.
That article badly misunderstands what vsync is. All vsync does is tell the GPU to wait until the monitor is done displaying a frame before switching buffers. That’s it. Turning on vsync eliminates tearing no matter what frame rate or what form of multiple buffering is used.

My Fitbit has a "find my phone" feature that uses Bluetooth to tell the Fitbit app on the phone to make a loud whistle. It's kind of handy and ive made use of it several times around my house, but obviously isn't useful outside Bluetooth range.
I tried Next.js 13 (with app directory) for ~3 months building out an MVP for a product idea I had.

I am unsure if the things that bothered me are still an issue, but they were...

1. Ridiculously long build/reload times (1~3 seconds for a fairly simple app).

2. Lots of memory/cpu usage while developing (2+ GB of memory, cpu spikes). I got tired of listening to my laptop rev its engine every time I saved a file and it built/reloaded.

3. Complicated logic for simple things like authentication. Really? I need to make a request to get the user/auth state on every page load? Potentially cache it and try to manage/pass it down everywhere? Maybe I'm old school and like the simplicity of the server doing all of that for me, but it felt so janky... especially dealing with styles/components while a refresh is occurring before it knows if it's authenticated or not. Yes-- you can sorta do it on the server with Next, but you can't mix server components and client components in one file, so it became a mess of both in different files with complex props/passing.

4. Although Next is open source and doesn't require Vercel, I kept getting the sinking feeling I was being locked into something (edge functions, etc).

5. Large (20-30ms) latency between the app server and the database. Maybe this is me being old school again and the benefit of running my app server on the same box as my database, but I like having 0-1ms latency from the app server and the database. I always strive for 50-150ms round-trip latency for my requests and that's hard when the database is adding 30ms.

Needless to say, I tossed it and re-wrote the entire thing. I don't consider it a waste of time.. I gave Next and the SPA gang a fair try.

This whole 'undesireable side reactions' thing is completely overblown for basalts. The effects to soil of volcanic ash from eruptions is quite well studied, not to mention crushed basalt is a recognised fertiliser in organic and biodynamic farming, and there have been places spreading it each year for the last 40 years (purely as a fertliser). You cant use rocks with significant sulphides or other heavy metals though, that has to be tested before spreading. Basalt is quite wide spread.

The ad density has gone up enormously. They introduced a "suggested for you" feature so they could sparse your friends posts and increase the ad quantity between them without it being perceived as such since they occupy the interstitial slots with viral content. That's why it can't be "disabled" - it's not about keeping you on the platform, it's about subtly increasing ad density between the content you actually want to see in the same way local news uses teasers to string the audience along.

Whether this strategy is a level of abusive that leads to atrophy or is sustainable is yet to be determined.

I would also say that this is a byproduct of how google treats its customers, even on paid platforms. I used to manage Google Workspace few years ago (2016 -> 2020) and GCP (2018-2019) and I remember the difficulty I faced when attempting to reach a human. Even if I were to able to reach someone, I got someone who clearly was a tier 1 support, who wanted me to troubleshoot things by "turnings things off and back on again".

I've also seen blog posts (some even on hacker news) mirroring my experiences, so I know it's not just a "me thing".

I think they’re saying that you’re not more vulnerable with a password manager than you would be without one. I.e. they can recover passwords that have been autofilled into a page, just as if you entered the password manually, but they can’t read all your stored passwords directly out of your password manager.
It's really disturbing that there are people out there who believe that this, in any way or form, is meant to be used to protect anyone.

Even more insane is this idea of yours, where everything is recorded for scientific research, completely ignoring that this absolutely will be used to manipulate us even more than we already are being manipulated.

You are absolutely insane. Get a grip on actual reality again.

I never programmed in Rust, but I had enough experience in C programming to know that segmentation faults are annoying to debug. I heard Rust prevents memory management problems at compilation level, so it forces you to create safer program. Given this, I want to ask Rust programmers here: For people who have no experience in managing memory at coding stage (basically programmer who have no experience in C-like language), can such people appreciate what Rust aims to deliver?
It's worth noting that a recent Supreme Court decision, Sackett v EPA, has somewhat curtailed the more... creative wetland designations.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-454_4g15.pdf

It's actually kind of disgusting how transparently the EPA has been playing their hand to maximize exploitable/monetizable authority and jurisdictional area without regard for real environmental concerns, development impact, or indeed their own legal mandate.

There's absolutely an element of that organization that doesn't care either way what happens to the environment or community, they just want infinite authority under the guise of environmental protection so that you to have a reason to bribe them.

There are "traffic circles" that aren't roundabouts but just a round block in the middle of an intersection that requires the traffic to move around in a circle so cross traffic is slowed. Also called a "traffic calming circle."

- In the early days, the "mailing list" was just a loop that would send an email to signed up customers using our cloud email service provider.

- We manually verify all new accounts before they can do certain things. Abuse prevention.

- We offer data imports from competitors. It's a semi-automated process - sometimes there's existing working code, sometimes it needs tweaking, sometimes it gets written as part of the process. Either way, it's a win if it helps someone make a purchase decision.

- We manually reach out to customers when a feature they voted for is released. This is also a great opportunity to gather further feedback.

Section 1 extends the offence of inviting support for a proscribed organisation in section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 to cover expressions of support that are reckless as to whether they will encourage others to support the organisation;

according to https://www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/terrorism

So the question is whether "I will support Hammas" constitutes "inviting support". That's not clear-cut to me. Probably be able to get him on section 12 though, "reckless" is a movable feast.
> I started writing tests in Rust as I would in any other language but found that I was writing tests couldn’t fail.

This is a common refrain in C++ testing: if it compiles then it's probably correct.

> Rust has accounted for so many errors that many common test cases become irrelevant

In practice, if you think this way I think it's a sign that you aren't testing the right things in those other languages. You should be testing business logic, not language stuff.

If you look at your test code and think "I would test this in JavaScript, but I don't need to do that in Rust" then just delete the test.
Correct me if I'm wrong... but compared to a traffic light, you have to go significantly slower, so most accidents are not as severe as at a traffic light. You also aren't crashing into someone in a t-bone situation, usually they are sideswiped at more of an angle for less impact force. Of course someone could still fly into a roundabout at full speed. Anything is possible, but feel like think overall there still have to be benefits.

People generally don't slow down for lights, and lots of times accelerate to make it through before it turns red.
This is super cool. Writing code to drop into the JavaScript console lets you do insane things. I’ve found great success using ChatGPT to help me write the code, which I then just cut and paste into the console. Asking it to “make it all run in parallel using async/await” will massively speed up execution of serial tasks.

For instance, I had GPT help me write browser JS that groks literally thousands of IP addresses in an open security tool that shall not be named. I can vacuum much of their entire database in seconds by making hundreds of async calls. While they do have bot protection on the website, they appear to have no protection at all on their browser APIs once the user has been given a cookie… I suspect this is common.

not directly relevant, but was riding my motorcycle in the boonies, and lost the phone which was on the handlebar (bumpy rocky path).

Looked for it several times on the path with no luck. Then I remembered my old iPhone was in the backpack. Did a Find my phone on the backup phone and it showed exactly where it had lost touch with the primary phone. This is all without cell or Wi-Fi service. Saved me a $1000.
No mental hacks, only a phone app. Always have the phone handy. Always note the task immediately before it gets forgotten.

Sure, and they'd still be proletarians, even if, in many cases -- and this will often be characterized as "middle class" or even "upper middle class" depending largely on income in American discussions -- part of the proletarian intelligentsia. There's also a wider array, now -- though its still a small share of the population -- of patterns of economic participation that involve loosely balanced (in the sense that both are important, if not equal, contributors) labor (either wage-labor for another or labor applied to your own capital in one way or another) and capital dependence, and which are still petit bourgeois, and which is still the distinct middle class between the proletarian and the haut bourgeois, not the false middle-income workers "middle class" invented to divide the class dependent on wage-labor.
> if a lot of early IT wouldn't have been dominated by a US "works for us must work for everyone" approach I think we never would have ended up with such limitations common in legacy systems

Most of the early work was in English and the people buying these systems all understood English. Nobody back then had a problem with a lingua franca for aspects of tech because there were still people around who had to learn German to study science.

I'm curious how recent your experience was with GCP support? Sadly several contacts of mine were not long ago laid off from working there. Many of them had 10+ years industry experience. Presumably their roles were off-shored but from my experiences with other companies who have off-shored technical support, I don't imagine you'd get the same customer experience as you did before.
