The organization of the gunmen has created a situation where military victory comes at incalculable moral cost. Probably intentionally. It is a deep personal test to see which outcome one thinks means "letting them win."

Personally I do not believe it is conscionable to drop a bomb on a bank where the staff is being held hostage even if it would probably hit the robbers.
What does the license mean, if I don't change any of the code you provide, but use it to provide a public-facing service? Like if I use it for a forum, for instance, but am using a separate bit of code to push data into and retrieve out of ScratchDB?
I think it’s just another marketing term, just like military grade encryption..

Landrific is an all-in-one platform developed and authored by Ismail El Kasmi. This platform offers a range of features and functionalities, including chat with a virtual assistant (presumably Landrific AI), image generation, image illusions, video generation, audio generation, and code assistance. It serves as a versatile tool for various tasks, making it a comprehensive solution for users' creative and practical needs.
This is a bit similar to roll your own crypto conversation. It is fun, and a great way to learn. And once done, you should do well to never deploy your own crypto in any real life application.

Friends don't let (or shouldn't at least) friends roll their own protocol over UDP either (or IP; I mean why not?). There are very few apps that have such an explicit requirements that they can't do away with TLS over any number (==2) of existing, and well known transport protocols (e.g. TCP, maybe QUIC). For presentation layer, instead of implementing their own spec, most should probably stick to Protobuf[0] (or some of it's derivatives[1]), and encode the application data into JSON.

Check. Protocol design done.

Israeli official says will fight Starlink’s deployment in Gaza

The minister of communications has said Israel will “use all means at its disposal to fight” the use of Elon Musk’s Starlink to support connectivity for aid groups in Gaza.

Posting on X, Shlomo Khari said if the Starlink satellite internet is deployed “Hamas will use it for terrorist activities”.

“There is no doubt about it, we know it, and Musk knows it,” he wrote.

“Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters, elderly people,” he wrote.

Musk had made the offer to use Starlink in Gaza earlier today, although further details have yet to emerge.
...isn't that 30x? Also, I saw it listed as 500Wh/kg from the article, where was the 400 figure coming from? At 500Wh/kg, it's about 24x the energy density.

Also the NASA paper was published a year ago, and the article linked in OP was published a few months ago. Is there some development that is causing this to surface again now?
HN is pretty balanced between Apple haters and Apple lovers, the downvotes come from either poorly thought out comments or one side or the other downvoting/killing based on ideology rather than for any rational reason.
And when that's not enough to cover the yearly $100 fee, and Apple makes it purposely difficult to ship compiled binaries in any other way, you get no (niche) OSS software on the platform.
It’s easy to become disheartened, particularly in the world of web development. It looks like we’ve been around the industry for a similar amount of time, and I agree that the amount of wheel-reinventing in web development is shockingly bad for a part of the industry with so many resources poured into it by now. But have faith, my friend! Even in frontend web work, good ideas do break through from time to time. :-)

Not so long ago, there were plenty of FE people who would argue to the end of time that JavaScript was fine and building ever larger frontend applications wouldn’t benefit from static types that just take more work to write. Today, it seems TypeScript has almost entirely displaced JavaScript for that kind of work.

Not so long ago, we were trying to build those web frontends by manually tracking state implicit in HTML form elements and maybe doing a bit of automatic binding. Then React came along, the frontend world finally realised that immediate mode is a thing, and today building web UIs in a more declarative style from some kind of components is common to almost all of the popular libraries and frameworks.

Each of those changes must have saved millions of hours of developer effort already compared to how we did things before, as well as avoiding countless bugs. Now imagine what we could do if, just as a thought experiment, we could all use a language for frontend web work that didn’t have the legacy baggage that TS/JS have, did have a much more comprehensive and well-designed standard library, and provided better control over side effects and by extension safer and more readable code for all the interactions with remote APIs and state management and interactive DOM elements that modern web apps do all the time. I don’t know where such a language might come from today, but if we can shift such a large part of the industry to TypeScript and declarative/component-based rendering within a few years, it doesn’t seem an impossible dream.
I remember with great fondness using a NeXTStation Mono Turbo for about 8 months as my desktop many years ago. It was a great experience and the simple color scheme avoided "color poisoning" even when I later upgraded to a Color Turbo, and still looked elegant.

I had worked with NEXTSPACE under a VM, which is a Centos7 with custom GNUStep , it was nice, not quite as nice as original NS but still very nice. The problem is that getting that last 2% of full integration in terms of graphics, fonts, etc. is still not done.

Will definitely check this out.
yeah, that's what we did. We captured it at the last place in our network (a router) and then compared the tcp payloads to the packets that we received in azure in our firewall. Next step was to get the dumps from as much inbetween as possible, it seems that is only the edge router of Azure and our express route gateway. After looking at the pcap of the azure edge myself I verified that the package is still okay there, the MS support verified it's broken in the express route gateway, so it has to be flipped somewhere inside their Azure Germany network stack. They are still searching where ... :)
Microsoft profiles new threat group with unusual but effective practices
At a slightly-less-elementary level: Monopoly. Lots of decisions, but a lot of them are kinda "fake" - very rarely do you want to decline to buy that property you just landed on. And the game is often effectively over even before any trading or such. The pattern is little more than "land on the right spots, don't land on the wrong spots have other people land on the wrong spots, win."

Games with fewer meaningful choices and less exploitable patterns tend to be games that game enthusiasts move away from pretty quickly.

But they stay interesting as casual diversions or ways to spend time with kids for people who are less-game-oriented.

So I think there's two types of ways games are fun, and the latter one is simply "something to do together with friends and family" where the game itself is a diversion, not the primary enjoyment source.

One problem with SysAdmin stuff is that, like crypto, we keep telling folk it's too hard and just out-source. While I think don't roll your own crypto makes sense - we've done a dis-service to the trade to discourage self-hosting and other methods to practice the craft. Don't run your own infra, use AWS. Don't host your own email it's too hard, just use a provider. Etc. Then a decade later...hey, how come nobody is good at SysAdmin?

I'm running Lineage OS on a Moto g100. Overall, I'm really happy with it. I have full control of my phone and it has the hardware features I wanted - headphone jack, micro sd, two-day battery, and a fast enough CPU that it never feels slow.

Motorola has an automated process to get the bootloader unlock code, and the whole process was fairly straightforward.

LineageOS even passes SafetyNet, however there's an additional CTS Profile check that some apps do, and passing that requires rooting the phone, which is turn requires a SafetyNet bypass and makes updates more tricky because LOS updates un-root the phone.

It was incredibly confusing before I saw this comment LOL.

I was saying to myself I know that the one that I submitted yesterday didn't make it to the front page and I know I wasn't imagining it.

However, I'm not sure by your comment if the assertion was I did it under two accounts. If for any reason there was that presumption I would like to state I didn't make duplicate posts under multiple accounts. That was someone else doing it on their own.

Also curiously the post lost its points it seems? No matter just noticed.

Even for source code, the US does not offer copyright to programs that are simple enough to have effectively one way to accomplish the desired function rather than requiring creative (aka artistic) choices by the programmer.

We’ve been there for a long time. “Don’t believe anything you read” is something I heard from my parents generation and I’m gen X.

We’re just going to open the field of convincing looking bullshit to a whole bunch of newer and even more nefarious interests.

Basically agreeing with you though.
I don't find the opposing argument convincing at all. If you look at the US for example, all direct energy usage for crops and livestock production (~800 Tbtu) plus energy used for fertilizer production (~350 Tbtu) adds up to about 1% of all energy consumption [1]. This includes all the energy used to farm crops for biofuels and for export. This does not suggest some sort of looming agricultural energy crisis. The basic formula of mechanized agriculture has been in place for at least 100 years, and what is generally still happening is steadily increasing yields, decreasing energy consumption, and more knowledge and concern for soil quality and sustainability.

The argument that we all need to leave cities behind and "return to the land" is squarely in the horseshoe zone of radical politics. These days I associate contempt for modernity, industrial agriculture and cities more with far-right ideologues than the far-left ones he is targeting here, but to me they are on both sides borne out of a similar unrealistic, apocalyptic, and utopian mindset; and especially the desire (conscious or not) that such a destructive transformation would address their personal struggles or political grievances.

"Homoiconic" means that code definitions are stored in the original textual form, or possibly in a tokenized form from which the text is easily recovered. Thus the program's definitions may be edited, without referring to external source code.

Bash is homoiconic because you can type "set" with no arguments, and see all the function definitions in their original syntax (albeit reformatted and without comments). You can copy and paste these definitions, editing them in between.

In Common Lisp, the perhaps little-known ed function supports homoiconicity. Function definitions whose original definitions is available may be edited. (Like Bash's set, ed will serve you up a reformatted function without comments.)

Homoiconicity is mostly stupid and irrelevant, and an earmark of immature, naively implemented languages. A Lisp which compiles every definition that is fed into it, throwing away the original nested lists, cannot support a function like ed, and fails to be homoiconic, yet has all the oft discussed advantages of Lisp.

A feature that is close to homoiconicity that is useful is a REPL with history recall. In a REPL with history recall, we can write definitions. Even if those definitions are compiled, so the language image has no record of the code, the REPL has the original text in memory. So by history recall, we satisfy the use case of the programmer who wants to recall a definition, edit it and replace it. Or some of those use cases. Obviously, a program doesn't come with a REPL history of its definitions; only one that we made in the REPL.

This website. It advertises itself and the companies they fund.
I remember (guessing 20 years ago) a popular fad was to use Mr. Smith (the agent from a movie called The Matrix) as profile avatars in forums. In one of The Matrix movies, Mr Smith could convert unsuspecting regular people into clones of himself. The profile picture trend was a reference to this movie. Anyways, a lot of avatars ended up hotlinking back to a wesbite hosting the image. I don't remember why, whether it was the original intent to troll, or perhaps to stop bandwidth costs from mass hotlinking, someone hosting the Mr. Smith avatar switched the image out for goatse. The trend probably ended around that time.
