There's surely a lot of evil being done, but I'm not entirely convinced by the article about civilian losses. 42% are children (compared to 6% in Ukraine, 8.6% in Iraq and 10% in Syria). How could an attacker ever achieve that even they tried?

If those atypical numbers are true it shows that defenders are not protecting their children like any sane population would but rather place them in obvious military targets to turn them into martyrs.

Personally I believe that those numbers should be treated as indication that they are not accurate. Author of the article prefers to take them as a proof of unique evilness of Israel.
> When I removed loader-spinner.gif, the placeholder we display while the menu options load, the page stopped crashing. Eureka! It’s the gif! We swapped in a different gif and the page did not crash.

I would love to have the original and the un-crashy gifs mentioned. It's super easy, generally, and even without an extensive knowledge of image formats to get a grasp of what might be going on and then going down some really exciting rabbit-hole of image encoding/decoding issues.

Just take the two gifs and run them (one by one) through ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick to print out the details of what's in them, and look for differences.

Assuming ImageMagick is installed (or GraphicsMagick) installed, something like:

#imagemagick

$ diff <(identify -verbose loader-spinner-CRASHY.gif) <(identify -verbose loader-spinner.gif)

#graphicsmagick

$ diff <(gm identify -verbose loader-spinner-CRASHY.gif) <(gm identify -verbose loader-spinner.gif)

...and rabbit-hole away

Are you suggesting the French government wants their ministers to be spied upon by the US intelligence services?
My first "big" program was a school project submission done in TP. It had an editor for drawing pixels in a (text) grid .. one line at a time. You could draw polygons, name them and the next time you drew something similar to the earlier ones it would recognise it and suggest the same name. If it couldn't find one, it would ask you for a name to remember.

Was so much fun writing it. The interface was fun to write. You could use it to tell apart isosceles triangles from equilateral triangles, for example.

The machine I used only had two floppy drives and still I recall TP was fast as a Ferrari.
You've misunderstood. Awareness absolutely is not "when thoughts come back online".

This is simple to experience for yourself since it'd mean we stop being aware when listening so intently thoughts stop. Obviously we don't cease to be aware at such times.

You've also misunderstood what is meant by nothingness ("no thingness").

Again if you lost your job you would do what it took to get another one wouldn’t you? So what’s the difference between changing jobs when you do have a choice and waiting until you don’t have a choice?

If you don’t make time now to upskill, what do you think is going to happen if/when you don’t have a choice but to look for a job and be stuck with in your words “dead tech”.
Agreed.

Chromium source code is open. They could also certainly try different versions of Chrome to bisect when the issue has started to happen. Isn't there a chance perhaps this crash might actually be disguising a buffer overflow vulnerability as well? Typically user inputs aren't supposed to crash browser/renderer processes.
I’d have agreed around the turn of the century but it’s really hard to believe that’s driving the current sales boom. I see new trucks all the time - as part of the morning commute, loaded with frills which wouldn’t hold up in a work environment, and in pristine condition. The actual tradesmen are driving vans and older trucks because those cost half as much. There’s a huge construction sight near me, and the actual workers are arriving on bike, bus, or carpool in a sedan – except for two fancy trucks parked near the foreman’s office, which are pristine (not even mud) and always parked in the same spot morning, lunch, or afternoon.

Now, I live in a city so I’d discount that except that we’ve spent a lot of time driving through rural areas (my son loves railroads) and the same trend holds there, although less intense. You see the pretty rancher cosplay trucks in the rich exurbs, and then when you cross into actual farm or mining country you see a lot fewer of the $70+k new ones and more beat up old trucks which are clearly heavily used, and almost 90s levels of smaller cars because they’re so much cheaper.

The point he was trying to make is the books for decade are mantra it as safe even though it is not. The new thing in this article rant is set a unique value before nulling and freeing allowing easier tracking of mysterious crash later. When I look thru hundreds of juniors code reviews with C++ coding, I have never seen one doing it (this is with Ivy Leagues or just Udemy/Coursera self-taught background). Even senior C++ devs dont do it. They either depend heavily on profile debugging tools or printf out at certain lines. It is a good article just maybe not for decades experience C++ coders or academically inclined one that dont do large production coding low level algorithmic much (their response is like yours not-perfect use-others-it-is-your-brain-problem)...in C++ (doing many API calls programming don't count...they are merely API programmers). Anyway, companies I worked with already migrated to rust and haskell/erlang to avoid this kind of C/C++ issues - same or even faster speed (some parts code in asm) and 100x times safer and more productive than just C++. C++ in 2023 is just badly hotch-patch up language - ugly, inconsistent, lack advanced features, even the so called biggest reason using: speed totally not match against zig/asm/even Java in some code implementation. At this point using C++ is mostly a laziness of programmers to record the existing "proven" C++ libraries a bit like Cobol - seen these conclusions over 20+ companies I audited across the world. A lot of time, when analysing using C++, it is fast if you measure specific execution timing but then fall apart and burn down the company with lawsuit-litigations when factor in bugs and debugging. Rust and Haskell and especially Erlang (Scala too) just steam-rolled C++ when you do total time (coding-execute-maintain-debugging). Whatsapp is good example of my case, you will never be able to create Watsapp with C++ in those short time and very limited resources - rather than just a couple of programmers for programming, you need a committee and specialized team internal and sometime external to do debugging in C++. C++ was designed for the 486-pentium era where bugs is not important but speed is. Today, just go buy a better hardware and charge end willing paying customers more (military/telecom/medical). C++ is just not worth it unless maybe you need to translate it into another programming language.

Typically W.Australian setups haul trailers and often use vans, private and fleet.

The advantage of towing is you can have multiple preset ready to go "job type" trailers | floats | caravans that can be detached at work area, leaving vehicle free to travel elsewhere.

I'm just pushing back at the GP insistance on the "one true" working vehicle setup and dislike for crew cabs - getting people to unpaved sites across fields and scrambling is pretty much the reason for getting any kind of high clearance vehicle, be it 2WD or 4WD.

I'm a parent of two classical musicians in training, and I took cello lessons through high school. Today, I'm a jazz bassist, and a scientist by day.

I wonder if the cost and competitiveness of the training has something to do with the problem. The people who can win auditions are in fact elite musicians, and are almost exclusively from affluent families.

I enjoy the challenging music too, in the jazz genre. Given that I'm not trying to make a living at it, I'm grateful for the fact that I can play for a tiny but appreciative and loyal audience. I think there are a lot of niche genres that are sustained largely by amateurs and hobbyists.

Eh, a pickup truck provides three things:

1. A bed for hauling.
2. The ability to tow.
3. Off-road capability.

If you value 2 & 3 more than 1, a short bed can be very reasonable. Hell, if you're hauling things that aren't dimensional lumber -- for instance, dirt and gravel -- you're only going to get that 8 foot bed about half full before you exceed the weight capacity of the bed.

Meanwhile, if you have kids, not having a second row to throw car seats into is a bigger limitation than having to leave the tailgate down to pick up plywood.

Walking your blues away by thom hartman is a beautiful book that applies emdr + walking to process trauma.

In the book, he notes the prevailing theory that our daily happenings remain on a sort of temporary scratchpad. As we sleep we sort, discard, process as necessary. Trauma however, is too big, too hard to process naturally. So, it stays on that daily scratch pad. Always with you. Every day, the same as if it were happening today. No relief, no dissipation of the emotional charge. Emdr therapy while walking to facilitate both hemispheres of your brain working together, is his prescription.

The book/methodology I can honestly say saved my life and gave me a life, a future. A way to cope with things that were driving me crazy. Everyone I've given a copy to has deeply thanked me later. Please, if you have anything weighing on you, give the book a look. It's only like 70 pages.

Contrary to the implication of your statement, language models don’t actually understand what the words they spit out actually mean. They can regurgitate definitions.

I don’t class a person who inherits land as ‘the poorest.’ In reality, truly poor people are forced to pay income tax which I think is immoral. Most parts of the world had long periods where income taxes where nonexistent. We can do the same with LVT and get the added benefits of less property speculation! Not to mention reducing distortionary effects of income taxes.

I agree no one would make a loan longer than 7 years under that policy, but I don’t think that would be good for anyone but the richest in society.
We already know an electric vehicle has better straight line acceleration and torque than ICE vehicles, so not sure showing this again is really going to convert many people.

Reminds me of the touring car racing with both Dodge Vipers and Porsche. The Vipers kills them down the straight, but then look like they are standing still vs the Porsche when there are corners. I'd love to see real examples of how well the Cybertruck corners and handles rougher terrain.

And lets face it, i'd rather get there a little later in a beautiful car then drive around in this Homer Simpson Persephone looking monstrosity.
> We've assumed a fuel economy of 20.0 miles per gallon for a comparable gasoline powered truck.

This is absolutely misleading. F-150, Tundra, RAM 1500, Sierra, every single one of these pickups has a better fuel economy than this. It's not really a comparable economy if you pick "a number worse than every alternative" as your baseline.
Weirdly, Turbo Pascal was my first high-level programming language and it was on my Macintosh Plus. (I have come to find Turbo Pascal was more of a PC thing.)

In college I used a student loan to buy my first Apple computer, the Macintosh Plus. By chance there was a classified ad in the college newspaper for a copy of Turbo Pascal for the Mac — some professor was selling it for like $40 or something. I snagged it.

It had the manual, thankfully, but very simply tools for Macintosh development. No ResEdit, but the odd R-Maker app that expected you to create a Macintosh resource as a text file and then run it through the tool to create the resource fork.

My first few apps were Turbo Pascal implementations of algorithms from the Computer Recreations column of Scientific American (thankfully requiring little UI — a window and a few buttons typically).

Later I would learn of and move on to THINK Pascal — a much more Mac-centric IDE. Later still I would take the leap to THINK C....

But I will always look back on Turbo Pascal and remember it with fondness. It was a time when I was entering a wild new world and Turbo Pascal was there to hold the door open for me.
The rules of the game are itself like a virus. Looks like everyone here played a slightly different variant. It mutated wildly across space and time.

After I learned two different rule sets from two different sources, I went on and invented my own version. It became an instant hit in our class for many years to come.

Basically:

1. the map is randomized, with some "islands" randomly drawn, separating the map into "land" and "water"; map size is the whole A5 sheet, which is around 30x40 I think

2. player has 10 moves per turn, moving on "water" cells counts as 2 moves

3. the objective is not to kill everything, but only the enemy starting unit ("the mothership")

4. we even added FFA multiplayer later, where each eliminated opponent nets you +2 moves per turn for the rest of the game, to promote aggression. The diplomacy was intense at times, with "vassal states" and coalitions formed against stronger players.

Oh the memories.

This isn't really the appropriate metric. For example, a strategy which is short favourites and long underdogs needs a win rate much lower than 60% to overcome the house edge (and pay for this software).

> The result is terrifying. Both terrifying to drive, and terrifying to realize that these things are out on the road, in the hands of a public I don't trust enough to handle this sort of power. Up on Angeles Crest, the Plaid is incredibly quick, but it doesn't have the chassis, steering, or brakes to deal with the horsepower. Especially irritating is the damping, which is never settled in the Plaid's multiple drive modes. And that yoke steering wheel is just so incredibly stupid.

It is scary. Consumer automobile trends are chasing more and bigger in every dimension and our regulators are either asleep at the wheel or on the payroll. Pedestrian deaths are trending up, we have hard data showing that pickup trucks are 2.5x more likely to kill the occupants of other vehicles in a crash, and there is no sign that anyone gives a single flying fuck about any of these lives that have been needlessly snuffed out—a pile of corpses as a monument to the pigheaded vanity of adult children. It is fucking disgusting.
