Yes, exactly this. Although, fire codes do create a requirement here. You have to be sure not to create places where fire can propagate. And please use plenum-rated cables (fire retardant sheath). If you have punched holes in your old chimney in order to pass cables in and out, I'd do a fire propagation audit and mitigate any problems that you find.

40 years ago, the U of Minnesota built a new Elec Engg building. As I remember it, every single office for faculty and grad students, as well as every lab, backed up to a secure 6-foot wide hallway that was built specifically to be a cable chase. Brilliant idea. Experimenting with a new technology was a matter of changing out the access plate in the back wall of the office, and rounding up someone with a key to the hallway.

Treading a fine line here between Bayesian priors and stereotypes, but the worldwide Muslim/Jewish population split is something like 112:1. Obviously that's not going to be the same proportion on a given media-service, but it should still inform our expectations of what is the "default" state before theorizing about platform algorithm-tweaking or propaganda-campaigns.
It actually uses Flex/Bison, and does take advantage of the extended features they provide.

I’d also quibble about the buttons on the coffee machine. They might be properly designed, just subject to the normal wear-and-tear that is inevitable in the real world. This is not a defect, physical devices have finite lifespans.

As far as computers go… if we got to the point where the main thing that killed our programs was the hard drives falling apart and capacitors drying out, that would be quite impressive and I think everyone would be a little bit less critical of the field.

Dismantling the Israeli ethnostate is not the same thing as destruction or genocide of people living in Israel. I've seen many cases where the former is wilfully misinterpreted as the latter.

It's almost purely because of the connectedness and software-eats-the-world society we have today. Before it wasn't practical or even possible to withhold total ownership from consumers, but as soon as it was, corps jumped on it.

Honestly, no. It's a waste of energy, bandwidth and storage space.
It also skipped most of a century of historical context, pretending the conflict started two months ago out of nowhere. The specific origins of hamas are certainly relevant but so is the nakba, the 2018 border protests, the apartheid structure of israeli governance of palestine. etc.

True but that would be a procedure ordered up in response to the condition. We're talking about a majority of neonates getting cut without that underlying condition.
Now the hard questions:

- why is testable software higher quality? Does it add value to the software? I'd venture that untestable software has the same value (if not more) than testable software (due to time-to-market). You can write software that is 'obviously correct' and "high quality" at the same time, without any tests.

- Why does software that can adapt to new features increase the quality? If that is the case, we must argue that WordPress is extremely high-quality software. Or SAP.

- How does architecture influence quality? If that is the case, then there isn't any need for different architectural styles since there should be "one true style" that has the best quality software.
Yeah, IMO a key idea--which I wish was more popular in the zeitgeist--is this:

The vast majority of Palestinians and Israelis are both being abused by their respective leaderships, which--for many years now--have desired and actively promoted some degree of violent-threat and indefinite strife, because it's how they maintain power and crush political rivals.

My wife works as an acoustical consultant at a global construction firm. The things you hear about factories, offices, and even hospitals is wild. Don’t get me wrong the construction world works very hard to avoid issues but I think we in software tend to hold other engineering disciplines up on a pedestal that doesn’t quite match the messiness of reality.
> But suggesting that Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state is antisemitic as it implies ethnic cleansing.

You've got it backwards. The only way for Israel to exist as an ethnostate is through an ethnic cleansing. That's not specific to Israel; that's inherent to the concept of an ethnostate.

The assumption that Israel can only exist as an ethnostate is itself a political assertion - it's the hallmark of right-wing Zionism.
I’m not sure how you would go about attributing meaning to the sounds. Usually you need labels for that sort of thing. With current techniques we might be able to predict which sounds come next, but we still wouldn’t know what they meant.
But is the switch just an input that is read by the software on the device, or does it actually interrupt e.g. a data line, making it impossible for even hacked software on the USB device to write to memory?

I can't really find a conclusive answer.
worse than anything ever perpetrated by Nazis and ISIS alike

I quite agree that the Hamas attacks on civilians that took place on October 7 were an atrocity and should be treated as a war crime. But 'worse than the Nazis' hyperbole doesn't help you make that argument. Massacres of civilians are unfortunately ordinary in wars and by no means unique to a particular region or culture.
The Dream of a Universal Library
This explains my gripe with most of the messaging on socials (I came across at least) . You see accounts who never cared to post anything of this conflict suddenly being outraged and reposting stuff. It’s not that they should not care, but it’s a “outrage of the week” sort of thing, and as you say, often with nothing of the careful history and understanding.

For sure it’s a tragedy.

Letter signing looks like a masterful use of the bandwagon effect. Quickly reframing the issue, going to attack, and creating a sense of outrage and hurry. People start quickly pressuring each other because there is a need to be unity for the scheme to work and no time to think.

No, I did not "answer my own question". These therapies are priced at $2.2 and $3.1 million, much greater than their calculated cost-effective price. And these are not small molecules that can be easily made generic, so not likely to get that much cheaper over time.
Why not add Putin, Trump, Mussolini, or any other number of leaders and historical figures?

That's a really... weird article to read. It's like reading a fantasy book about another universe. Or a desperate attempt at "inception".

Reddit, at least, seems to be (rightfully or not) dominated by a strongly anti-Israel narrative.

Even the "great" BBC is not willing to call a spade a spade.
As OP pointed out, a billion Muslims is a lot of people. They may not have the palestinians at top of mind all the time, but a lot of them do at the moment.
>Many societies with excessively strong opinions on morals however are literally living in huts.

Setting aside that the US government is deeply influenced by Christian conservatism and the culture by Puritan ideals, to the point that no American President can be elected without vocally professing faith in God, Christ, or being seen with a Bible in hand, and thus is the most moralizing culture within Western civilization by far (particularly where sex and gender are concerned,) which hut-dwelling societies are you talking about, specifically?
I'll simply repeat: People are not rational beings.

Even today, we believe stories which could easily be faked. We get outraged over stories which have long been proven false. Our belief in stories can even become stronger in the face of such proof.

Unreasonable... humans are entirely unreasonable, and will remain so even in the face of AI.
You are not providing any counter-argument to my point.

Also, be careful what is meant by "occupation". You'll find that for some people it means that Israel is occupying and should be destroyed, as I mentioned previously.

The Geopolitics of Godzilla
I hear you, but I just can't be convinced that was a motivator. The main motivator, I believe, was to drive costs WAY down by eliminating pensions while shifting that burden to the workers.

I actually wonder how to navigate this actually. Like, I have seen criticism of things Israel has enacted in order to ensure that the population is a majority-Jewish, Jewish-own-all-the-political-power. Is that antisemetic to argue against anti-arab laws, if those laws are in place to ensure that Israel is a jewish state first and foremost, as opposed to Israel being a jewish state, if that makes sense?
What I find weird about Powershell is that there's no "fixed-width column" parser, which is a widely used format for Unix-style CLI tools.

I don't know if NuShell has it, I haven't tried.

In any case, it's much better for tools to output more-parseable data in the first place. Whitespace-delimited columns are fine of course, but not so much when the data can contain whitespace, as in the output from `ps`.

I don't see much reason why JSONLines (https://jsonlines.org/) / NDJSON (https://ndjson.org/) can't be a standard output format from most tools, in addition to tables.

As for the reason of removal:

any language that can interact with json output can use readdir(3) and stat(2).

Ugh. Any language of course can do it. But that's basically telling users that they need to reimplement ls(1) themselves if they want to use any of its output and features in scripts.

I understand if the maintenance burden is too high to put it in ls(1) itself, but it's a shame that no tool currently does this. The closest we have is a feature request in Eza: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/472
On the terrible civilian toll of modern warfare on civilian populations
The whole article has a straw-man feel to it. It is not the senior developers responsibility to create a proper QA policy for the project. It is good that the lead should know how to implement good QA processes.

HOWEVER, the real culprit are the MANAGERS.

After 50+ years of skanky software development policy aimed at low balling cost its time to blame the right people. No amount of cajoling, "business/budget" speak manipulation is going to fix a fundamental flaw in how managers at that level are trained and behave.

We have stop being apologists for mistakes not of our making.
If using QA techniques would increase the managers bonus then we will see it being used. If all it does is make better software then this post will be rewritten in 50 years and would still be relevant.

We did an analog tech version of that with a VHS camcorder on my parents’ house.

The only time we had to use it, we had both an inside and outside view that just missed the one key place we were about to work on. :)

It was good enough to still be helpful (we were able to guess based on the likely path of the NM-B (“Romex”) in the spots we could see), but it was amusing how we missed the key spot by inches twice.
This is the correct view. The Palestinian issue is a deeply-felt issue for a quarter of the world's population, give or take.

There are some Advent of Code 2021 solutions in TXR:

https://www.kylheku.com/cgit/advent/tree

That gives a flavor of how those kinds of problems can be approached.

The solutions are all self-contained; they don't share any AoC-specific library or anything, and were developed with a throwaway program mindset, where we just solve that problem and don't try to produce anything that is reusable other than by copy paste into the next program.
Uh huh? 10 years in pretrial detention is wayyy too long!! I do follow some trials, I have somewhat of a theoretical understanding of how things work. Who decided to waive that much time???

I don’t think that most (nearly all?) pro Palestine critics are saying that Hamas is in the right. All of the wording I’ve seen was focused on Israel’s and the IDFs response and actions. As you’ve mentioned, killing civilians is a war crime.

Many civilized nations have military installations, such as headquarters and office facilities, co-located and intermixed with civilian facilities. They also have military bases and complexes, but the intermixing is not unique to Hamas.

When the Palestinians in Gaza have been denied elections in nearly 2 decades and have expressed discontent with Hamas as well, it sounds disingenuous to characterize it as “invited […] so deeply into their everyday lives.”
What the hell does it have to do with musk? If a corporation changes its name, journalists usually use the new name. Especially for big corporations. Do you want them to not use the new (very stupid) name, just to... own the musk?
I do not think that is why they were called pirates. The term privateer seems to come from 17th century, while "pirate" is a general term for "one who attacks ships" from 14th century. Privateer / corsair is thus a pirate as well, even though not officially called that by their friendly government sanctioning their robbing activities. The terms pirate and corsair do not seem exclusive, corsair is rather a special kind of pirate - one with a government license.
It's back on. Perhaps -

We could add them. I didn't because I was keeping my statement within the context of the article focusing on a tech leader but sure, all of them fit the bill.
Forgive me. I thought I was being clear that I was talking about throughput.

My team, when we started to get better at not overcommitting in any given period was able to produce more countable work. Not just more story points (inflation is super common) but more actual deliverables. It was weird, because we all felt like we were working less, we just thought we had to be honest about our commitments. But when you looked at the trend line at the end of the quarter, there was an increase in what we were able to do.

I don’t claim to know why this works, but it’s such an old phenomenon that there are lots of sayings that hint at it. I know that when I’m personally not overcommitted I have more capacity to focus. When I have fewer things on my plate, I context switch less. But I think something else happens as well. When you say no to things, it forces others to be more deliberate with their asks. They stop asking for low value things.

>US views skew pro-israel, and GenZ is closer to 50/50, so if there's something going on online, it's not in favor of Israel.

That could also mean that Israeli online propaganda is ineffective, not that it doesn't exist. Even if they haven't made ground online, pro-Israeli views are universal in the mainstream media, with pro-Palestine reporters being fired.
