I worry that any serious attempt to get rid of Hamas will create so much collateral damage and/or will cause many people that are currently 'fence sitters' to switch to the Hamas side because of optics will cause the conflict to worsen rather than to move towards a solution. It's rare that you can get a conflict fought between insurgents and a professional army to look acceptable from the outside world looking at it because of the inequality in capacity and force. That coupled with the inevitable asymmetry between the losses is going to cause more problems than it solves.

Note that the IRA wasn't 'wiped out' (in spite of many years of trying to do just that, but less visibly aggressive), they simply ran out of support and that was that. Something like that might work. But Israel would have to commit to some kind of compromise, for instance to halt any kind of settlement program, hand back land taken by settlers and to vow to stick to some kind of well defined border. And that's the bit that I don't see happening and every time someone gets murdered it will simply escalate right back to where we are today only then with more chance of really spiraling out of control.

Hardliners thrive on conflict, and as long as - on either side - hardliners are major players the conflict will be prolonged and possibly expanded. And each side has the capability to do something about their hardliners.

edit: this is the sort of thing that will come back to haunt Netanyahu no matter how the current fight unfolds:

You don't play 'divide and conquer' with what is effectively a terrorist organization just because you think that you've got them bottled up and they serve your goals of destabilizing any attempt at normalization and/or paths that would force you to compromise.

The cynical side of me wonders if the hardliners and the right wingers aren't still quietly (privately) cheering on Hamas just so they can strike back that much harder and impose more restrictions on Gaza and possibly the West bank because that is what they really have set their sights on and the occupants of those areas are seen as best removed in some way or other.
As early as the Bronze Age, Britain was part of wide-spanning trade networks that funneled Cornwallish tin to the empires of the Near East. I would imagine that even before the invention of true coinage, various quantities of gold and other precious metals were circulating in Britain from those Mediterranean sources.
Having had the pleasure of visiting Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway I have to say I definitely underrated them for a long time. I had a great time exploring the cities with their public transportation and since all the capital cities are ports you can take ferries to nearby islands without paying extra. Their museums were also topnotch and the nearby landscapes are absolute beautiful with some world class hiking in the outer regions. My biggest complaints would be the food, yes the best restaurants were good but I was constantly spending $20+ just to sit down and eat some pasta, even kebabs were minimum $15. That said I highly recommend people to visit them in the summer or fall if you get the chance.
Sure, no new licenses, but the entire AirBnB neighborhoods in the tourist areas are still there, sucking up valuable housing stock. There haven't been any reduction in the amount of AirBnB, just no new licenses are issued.
A lot of friction also comes from kernel modules not having a stable API they can target meaning they need to be updated for new versions.
Yeah, 100% agree. The main place that connection tracking is happening is whenever there's NAT involved and that's going to need to happen for both TCP and UDP.
They certainly used _accounting_, but not money (currency). They were not assigning certain monetary value to items.
They can be scheduled on shifts instead of being on call.

It just requires spending more money hiring more people.
You’re assuming that “women” asked for the full package of changes we ended up with. I’d argue that their focus was more on being able to vote and being able to have bank accounts, and the sexual revolution was driven more by liberal men than by a broad coalition of women: https://blog.ninapaley.com/2019/08/23/andrea-dworkin-on-the-... (“Norman Mailer remarked during the sixties that the problem with the sexual revolution was that it had gotten into the hands of the wrong people. He was right. It was in the hands of men.”). The package of changes was “women get to be able to act like men, in the workplace and in dating,” without regard to women’s distinct realities and preferences in both spheres.

More over, the disconnect here isn’t between what “women” want and what they say they want. The disconnect is between the beliefs and attitudes of a minority of elite liberal men and women, and the average woman, especially the average non-college educated woman.
- In assessing risks vs. benefits, it isn't sufficient to use a single figure (e.g. 5-year relative survival rate). It's not binary. Screening which detects potential cancer does not just prevent death. It prevents the suffering and disability which may accompany late-stage detection (even if you're still alive after 5 years). Early detection could have prevented the two surgeries and rounds of chemo a friend of mine went through. Or the death of another friend after 3 rounds of surgery and 2 rounds of chemo. It could prevent living the rest of your life without normal bowel function.

Figures can't capture individual assessment of risk/benefit. Many of us buy insurance of various kinds even though the insurance companies have done some figures and expect to make money - in fact, they count on us valuing certain things above what is indicated by the raw numbers.

- The NordICC study [0] is cited by some as showing modest benefits from colonoscopies. It looks pretty good, but there's something I don't understand. They say: "Follow-up data were available for 84,585 participants in Poland, Norway, and Sweden — 28,220 in the invited group, 11,843 of whom (42.0%) underwent screening, and 56,365 in the usual-care group. A total of 15 participants had major bleeding after polyp removal. No perforations or screening-related deaths occurred within 30 days after colonoscopy." Given the number of screenings, I don't see how there could be no perforations. For example, the USPTF study [1] (see their "Supporting evidence" link) reports 5.4 perforations per 10,000 colonoscopies from colonoscopy to follow-up positive screening results and 3.1 perforations per 10,000 colonoscopies from screening colonoscopy. No perforations seems unrealistically low - maybe someone can explain this.

- Discomfort from the prep or procedure depend on the individual, and I don't think one can usefully generalize. I've had 4 colonoscopies, the first two with sedation and the last two without. I had 3 polyps removed the first time, none during the second, 2 polyps removed during the third, and none during the fourth. The advantages of no sedation are that I don't feel groggy afterward, and I can drive myself to and from. The procedures without sedation felt no worse than a bad case of gas (not surprisingly!). I watched the polyp removal during the third colonoscopy and didn't feel anything above the ambient gas pain. But some people might find the procedure very painful, or might get queasy watching. Everyone's different. And if you start without sedation and decide you want to stop in the middle, they might abandon the procedure and require you to come back again (in which case insurance is unlikely to pick up the second try). If you have one of these done with sedation, you might find it interesting to look at the itemized insurance docs and see how much they charged for the sedation (often done by an outfit independent from the GI practice). As for prep, the miralax with Gatorade is much better than the old stuff (which is damning with faint praise).

What are the safety implications of benzodiazepines in terms of anxiety relief? Do they offer a cleaner anxiolytic effect compared to other substances, or do they pose similar mutagenic risks?
Just a small clarification: The maximum 5A of the original power adapter can't be met, but without a disc drive a Wii pulls about 15-20 watts, then add in a screen and that's maybe another 5 watts, well within the 3A (45W) a power bank can provide.
Brittonic was likely very close to gaulish. It's possible the authors just had a simple mixup or possibly subscribe to one of the various hypotheses that they're genetically closely related (e.g. gallo-brittonic).
> Our team still got more done in a year with a fraction of a good PM than my current company has gotten done in over two years without any PMs

This is a great testimony. I think that stretching their capacity is a forcing function to stay high level and vision oriented, and avoid having PMs go too deep and start building up useless processes, or over-define features.
> "hiring low performers will hurt your company"

People who hire people just can't seem to help themselves but hire shit people, especially people who talk a lot about how they need process etc so it doesnt happen.

Day in day out, they always hire low performers, and I have no idea why. An untrained chimp with a stack of CVs would have a better strike rate.
I think it would be fun to go through all of these books in a group, but to also do worksheets with something like XCas, Maxima, Fricas, etc.
Yep, we rented a Tesla from Hertz during a recent vacation. Took a small pebble in the window causing a 1-inch spider crack on the lower part of it. Over $1200 repair bill sent to us for it, luckily we had insurance through our credit card.

I've know about EPR since the spec was release, but reading "48V USB" somehow still caught me a bit of guard because it just sounds cursed
I wish I could find a better framing in my head than the negative thoughts that reoccur so regularly across so many years. It's not always: but maybe half the time, there's a sadness & sense of misfortune that boils down to companies that don't trust or believe in engineers. Companies who think the people doing the work are not to be trusted or given power. And org charts that try to create corresponding hierarchies of power with workers at the bottom and lots of buffer inbetween.

The engineers are most connected to the tremendous energy. Have the most idea of potential & costs & a savvy for appreciating what is most directly possible, sharp intuitive angles towards mechanistic sympathy/finess. But are made to mete with all manners of checks, have their will impeeded. Bargained down ongoingly from doing good.

There's definitely a lot of being a junior engineer where you want or need direction. The more formal org's high-structure is good here, is predictable. But on the whole, I think companies have become far lesser for being so managed. There was a great thread recently where the discussion turned to middle management, and it was great if sad hearing such stress & strain mirrored about. I will fucking haymaker you if you mention agile again, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37894676
> I’ve gone cycling with people slower than me and it’s literally so boring. You either go at your natural pace and wait at a lot of stoplights for them to catch up or you pedal way less.

Depending on the route (and your interest), when you’re way ahead you could perhaps cycle back to them (i.e., ride in the opposite direction), go behind them some, and then turn again and race past them. You wouldn’t have to stop or slow down then.

I have mixed feelings about this. I've been through nonstandard analysis. My response was, "We shouldn't need the axiom of choice to define the derivative."

But I think that it is extremely important to understand that the infinitesimal notation really MEANS something. Here is some Python to demonstrate.

# d is a functor. It takes a function and returns a second function.
# The second function captures the change in f over a small distance.
# The dx/2 business reduces artefacts of it being a finite distance.
def d (f, dx=0.001):
return lambda t: (f(t + dx/2) - f(t - dx/2))

# d²x / dx²
def second_derivative (f):
return lambda t: d(d(f))(t) / (d(x)(t) * d(x)(t))

def x (t):
return t

def cubed (t):
return t*t*t

print("The second derivative of cubed at 1 is near", second_derivative(cubed)(1))

The point of these dating apps is to make it much quicker to meet a potential long-term match, and thousands of people then end up marrying that someone after putting in the effort. I think as person who's used these apps can attest, finding someone who's a good long-term fit and then establishing a relationship is still a great deal of effort even with these apps.
I don’t think they care if you believe it.
I would specifically make my product non-conformant if it meant I didn't need to include that logo.
The discussion is making me scared from another perspective.

I have experience with a pretty wide variety of development. I've worked with embedded microcontrollers (minimalistic RTOS), embedded applications (on top of a proper Linux), desktop applications in Java and in C#, some C++ work, gamedev and more. But to this day I haven't touched Web apps. I have not written a line of JS and the closest I've done to modern web is a tiny API in Go that sends a JSON response and renders a static HTML page.

With my total lack of Web experience (and self-confessed hate of webapps as a user), I have no opinions on React, Rails, Node.js, Vue and whatever people are naming here. But I'm taken aback at the variety - there's 20-odd replies all giving different answers.

Does Web development in 2023 not have 2-3 tech stacks that dominate? Are the existing frameworks/techs so lacking that new ones keep appearing to address those problems? Is there a high rate of change because things keep improving? If so, where is that improvement for me as a user, when webapps still feel inferior to late 90s native programs?
Being on call is firemen job, and they do have shifts.
In most of the companies you have something akin to construction workers that work from 9 to 5 and then also are expected to be available to do casual firefighting from 5 to 9 because it's "easier".
Wanting to undo progress isn’t progress. Going back to “the way things were” (not a real thing) is a pretty central idea to conservatism both in theory and in practice in the US. To your example: calling roe v wade the status quo because it was the law from 1973 to 2023 seems like a stretch to me.

As for the ukraine war example, yeah that one kinda breaks the mold. My best understanding of it is because the conservative position is to seek national strength, rather than the less concrete strength of unity. Sometimes that means war (e.g. iraq and afghanistan, nominally to prevent future terrorist attacks) and sometimes that means not-war as in the case where the benefit of keeping ukraine free, to the US, is unclear.

Ultimately i think you’re right - as a political ideology, conservatism is more fickle than just “don’t change things” - but since that impulse is definitely in there i think my original point stands

“Magnets that accelerate particles”… the only particles that a magnetic field can accelerate are magnetic monopoles, and they are yet to be discovered.

The lhc, as well as all accelerators, use electric field to accelerate particles. Supraconcting RF cavities.

Since it’s not very practical to work with 7000 billion volts, physicists use magnets to bend particles paths so they pass several several times through the rf cavities.
> If they do exactly the same what US does they'll get hit by inflation even harder.

My entire point is that the monetary policy in the Eurozone has been considerably looser between 2014 and 2020 and comparable after that.

> If you want to compare impacts of printing you shouldn't compare it with GDP or central bank assets but with total amount of given currency already in circulation globally.

So the ECB "printed" considerable more if measured that way, prior to 2020 at least and they were relatively "fine" inflation wise.
That also includes the employer's data you keep in your head.
My understanding is that the biggest challenge with terraforming Venus is the atmosphere. It's roughly 93 times the mass of Earth's, and mostly CO2. What do you do with it? Cycling it into the crust would take geologic spans of time. If you just cool it, you get deep oceans or thick glaciers of CO2 covering the planet. If you've got the energy budget to actually remove it from Venus completely (or sequester it rapidly), you've probably got the energy budget to do something easier like relocate a moon or dwarf planet.

Sure, 50-60km up in the atmosphere it's fairly hospitable, but colonizing that isn't terraforming.

if you have a reproducible build, then the notion of "software was built on date by user" is kind of useless information, no? Because it does not matter - if you can verify that a specific git hash of a codebase results in a particular binary through reproducible builds, a malicious adversary could have built it yesterday and given it to me and i can be almost surely confident (barring hash-collisions...) it's identical to a known trusted team member building it.

Having information about which git has was used, as well as the time it was published, is part of the source distribution so an output can contain references to these inputs and still be deterministic w.r.t. those inputs.

If you REALLY want to know when/who built something, you could add in an auxiliary source file which contains that information, which is required to build. Which is essentially what compilers which leverage current time do anyway, it's just implicit.
"Monetary economy" means that it uses money for the exchanges, rather than barter. Most pre-industrial economies were not monetary.

Barter economy certainly existed, probably from before the Human Sapiens. But _money_ is a relatively recent invention.
You are studying dating like it’s some sort of academic discipline. I think it’s mostly an emotional and even carnal physical thing. You mostly need to get out of your head and in touch with your body and emotions. IMO pick up artists are mostly super awkward and non authentic seeming. The confidence is a thin veneer that falls short once the script runs out.

I do what my instincts and body tell me to do with a partner, but was afraid and culturally conditioned not to do. I hold her hand and look her strongly in the eye. In bed I was shocked to find that I am extremely aggressive now, even violent… my partner usually gets at least some minor injuries, but has a good time. Maybe not everyone wants that, but the women compatible with me do.
This is what they are referring to: https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIPIFY
'Solving' it without losses on the Israeli side and without giving up settlements and giving guarantees about the future is not going to happen.

'now' implies that both sides back down from their frankly ridiculous stances and that in turn would require both sides to drop some fragments of their religion and to start controlling the hardliners in their factions. But as long as Arab money and Iranian weapons subsidize Hamas, as long as Israel sabotages any kind of compromise or real government on the Palestinian side and as long as settlers continue to piecemeal expand the size of the state of Israel this isn't going to happen.

You can't have change without wanting change and you can't solve a problem if neither side really wants it solved. Israel would like Palestine to disappear and pretty much all of the Arab world wants Israel to disappear. If that doesn't change eventually one of these groups is going to get their way and that would be a loss for the world as a whole because I predict that that stain will not be easily washed away if at all.
I dunno, I credit the explicit “this is a dating relationship” context setting with making things possible for me that would not be otherwise.

This was the opposite of clickbait.

The pertinent part of the discovery is a 2100 year old coin from pre-Roman Britain stamped with some (“obscure”) ruler’s name, meaning the British Isles had coin-based commerce before the Romans arrived. The ruler’s name is incidental and not itself germane to the conversation, hence why it was elided from the title.
It's definitely not "most". It does happen, but it's actually very rare. Most people nowadays who go to the trouble of making a native installer do so because they want some kind of OS integration, so it's a nonstarter anyway.

> IMHO this was an overreaction. If the issue was pricing out locals, you could simply remove real estate as a qualifying investment under the visa and/or increase the minimum investment amount.

This is what the ban did. The golden visa for creating 10 non-temporary jobs remains, but for 9 years, there were 250 jobs created, with 20 takers (meaning almost all of them created the bare minimum 10 jobs).
