> The official Israeli counts support that they're killing militants to civilians at a ratio of 2:1 --- which is horrible, but better than warfare in urban areas usually achieves

Official counts by a party to the conflict also are invariably better than what the actual war they are prosecuting achieves.
Gyroscopic Screwdriver

My brother in law in a general contractor and raved about his new gyroscopic screwdriver a couple years ago. I bought one last month and it's easily the best thing I've bought this year. Under $100 and it's truly a must have. I have the dewalt one, not sure if any other brands make em.

Why is it impossible? It's certainly possible to tell apart cat and dog DNA. If the race theory proponents argument hold water, the same must be possible for different races.
"Congestion as in there is too many poor entering the Manhattan, so they set the fee so only those who can afford $15 can enter."

You said that will adversely affect the poor but that's not true, what poor person is spending $100 a day on parking? Poor people use trains like nearly everyone else does. The extra $15 will discourage people from making unnecessary trips into the city thus reducing traffic/congestion and improving quality of life for people who live in the city.

For instance if someone live in Brooklyn and needs to make a trip to lower Manhattan they'll be more likely to use public transportation.
I have a Leap V2 too from 2021 ($300 used). Best chair ever. So glad I got this instead of the much cooler looking Herman Miller Aeron -- the Aeron is amazing, but the Leap is more adjustable and has a more comfortable fabric seat.
People don't make choices by exhaustive analysis they consider a small quantity of options and by popularity or proximity select one and run with it. Successful ecosystems make it reasonably to pick a highly visible option and come out with something good enough. The proliferation of Linux distros is largely small difference that don't meaningfully decrease fitness because only a tiny minority who themselves had little problem finding a distro think its an issue.

By contrast issues like Wayland wherein your plumbing and hardware suddenly matter and you have to become at least somewhat familiar with the plumbing in order to select a usable set of options DO matter because they increase the chance of crapping out when you stroll down the aisle metaphorically and pick a box and end up somewhat satisfied.

It honestly makes little sense to compare Mac or Windows to Linux. In the eyes of 95% of consumers an OS either an immutable characteristic of a computer or a feature thereof and they aren't interested in it as a separate product. They might well buy a computer with that OS if the overall package makes sense but they sure as hell wont install it on their windows or mac machine. Those who are technically literate enough to be satisfied are unlikely to be confused if people add 3 more Ubuntu derivatives and 2 more arch ones.
- Plume supports Markdown (plus additional plaintext syntax).

- Plume is a block editor, unlike Joplin. Therefore plume can have advanced views inside the editor itself (like Kanban, image handling, columns, etc)

- Plume is faster than Joplin's non-native editor (the one that renders your Markdown)

- IMO Plume is way prettier with far more attention to detail.
Don't know it, but from the website it looks mobile-first and intended for simple apps like Spotify. Don't get the impression that I could build something like Blender or Kdenlive with it. Maybe my impression is wrong, but I would hesitate to use a framework for a purpose that the developers consider fringe.
I had read somewhere that Win32 (via Wine or Proton) is the most stable target for Linux right now.
I have no idea. General consensus from what I read is it's Russian, and very hacky, but works great. Even on Windows Home, no need Pro, or virtualization route where you have to split core/resources. They seem to primarily sell to developing countries, especially computer labs where I presume Microsoft don't care, or fine with people pirating if it means using Windows.
Amazon and Apple have had an agreement since ~2018 that limits third party sellers of Apple products on the platform in return for Amazon having access to new devices on the market. It's very likely that the seller was Apple directly and the device already in the warehouse.
What brand / model??
If the discussion was about Gaza attacking Israel ambulances then this piece of information from 2002 would be relevant. Otherwise I'm not sure what's the point your trying to make? That because Israel used an ambulance (not during an active war, but in the occupied territories) then Hamas can use ambulances?

Israel should not use ambulances for military purposes. Israel is far far from perfect and you can find many examples of things we can agree on being "wrong". Perfection is not the right measure though, Israel doesn't do things like: https://www.bmj.com/content/380/bmj.p451 The question is compared to what its peers in the "free democratic west" would do in similar circumstances how does Israel measure. We know that most of the world doesn't even try to hold up the same standards.
As a parent who participates in these status games, this 100% aligns with my experience. We spend way way too much on school -- and I am talking pre-school middle school, high school, not college.

If a party is the one most conservative and most authoritarian in parliament, it is completely fair to describe it as "far right". What else could it be? In order to be "plain right" you would need a party further to the right in parliament.

Console porting is essentially why the Godot co-founders formed W4: https://w4games.com/2023/02/28/godot-support-for-consoles-is...

> W4 Games is working on a complementary offering that is simpler in nature. We are developing and plan to offer fully middleware approved console ports for all platforms (Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony). This will place Godot in the same category (and offer the same assurances) as the large commercial game engines.

> Instead of offering porting services (which are still required by many developers and publishers), W4 Games will offer fully working console ports. These ports are intended to be middleware approved, meaning that the console manufacturer approves the port and certifies that it meets the required standards of quality, as well as supporting the full (or as close as possible) feature set of the console, including full integration to the console SDKs (for ease of development and deployment).

"Rinse and Repeat: An Easy New Way to Recycle Batteries is Here" (2023)
https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2023/02/01/an-easy-new-way-to-rec... :

> Their product, called the Quick-Release Binder, makes it simple and affordable to separate the valuable materials in Li-ion batteries from the other components and recover them for reuse in a new battery. [...]

> The new Quick-Release Binder is made from two commercially available polymers, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethylenimine (PEI), that are joined together through a bond between positively charged nitrogen atoms in PEI and negatively charged oxygen atoms in PAA. When the solid binder material is placed in alkaline water containing sodium hydroxide (Na+OH–), the sodium ion pops into the bond site, breaking the two polymers apart. The separated polymers dissolve into the liquid, freeing any electrode components embedded within.

> The binder can be used to make anodes and cathodes, and is about one-tenth the price of two of the most commonly used commercial binders.

Because the alternative is that Grok are reselling OpenAI API access fraudulently.

Yes, although the sizes of the binaries differ greatly. See this [1] Twitter reply. A "hello world" example produced an ~85mb binary in Node and Deno, whereas QuickJS produced a 6MB binary.

What do you mean lasted? If it is an intentional backdoor, it was vulnerable (to those who knew the backdoor) from day 1, so it was never secure let alone 30 years.

Would you recommend making the transition if it was available? I've been eyeing a lateral move from optical control/processing software into a sort of full stack rf role. Nobody is hiring from what I've seen but everywhere I've been I end up moonlighting with the RF team helping with DSP and high throughput ADC on down stuff. They're always understaffed and I have my amateur extra and know just enough to be dangerous so I get pulled on to help.
Yes. Additionally, there are extensive public/private partnerships.
Nice start, but needs a fair bit of work...I immediately thought of ten or so editors that are FLOSS, are widely used, but were not listed, including Emacs, Geany, Kate, and Nano. The Editor category also seems to merge text, diagramming, audio, and video editing.

The C++ category includes RustDesk, about which I know nothing, but whose name suggests it's about some other language. It also includes OBStudio, which appears to be a live-streaming tool.

So, mighty fine start, and the site looks great, but you'll need to rework your categories, and add a fair number of additional packages to make it useful. One suggestion: merely because a program is written in a programming language, that doesn't mean it should be listed in that language category. For example, Zulip is a team chat system; it may well be written in Java, but, unless it has specific features for Java development, that's not a sufficient reason for listing it in the Java category.
You're mixing up two Whiteheads
I bought a Bosch GO this year, my brother as well. Should be the same kind of tool. It drives the screw in (or out) if you apply pressure to it.
People like to shit on tools like Electron, but there's a reason they're popular. If you need to reach a broad audience with a native tool, using heavy-handed web-based plumbing is a bigger win for Linux users than supporting only windows and macos where like 97% of desktop users are.

Lifestyle inflation is definitely a thing, especially with a partner and kids. You're not going back to living in a crappy apartment with non-related roommates if you have a choice. And you don't want to give up nice trips and meals out.

Stepping off a well-paid career trajectory is also hard to do even if you're pretty sure you have enough savings to comfortably cover your annual living expenses. It can be hard to get back on if things don't go as planned. I've definitely known people who ended up pushing semi-retirement out a bit because work wasn't getting in the way of life too much and why not stash some more money away while the stashing is good?

My point is that if collection and processing is regulated then that covers AI. And thus there is no "sending user data to a magic black box may be illegal" but my whole comment was that this wasn't needed. AI is just a tool, it's just automated processing.

When I look at quickJS, I am thinking: Can we design a DOM, minimal enough, but good enough for a new "web", with ultra stable ABIs/APIs in time, which would not require one of the grotesquely and absurdely massive and complex current web engines? (including their SDKs). Which I could compile with a near 0 SDK and a simple C compilers (avoiding the latest ISO C tantrums and compiler-specific extensions)

Does it? Intelligence agencies were among the first informed. Those are the bad guys.

I know "bad guys" is a harsh phrasing, but when it comes to encrypted communication, they are literally the definition of the adversary. Anybody in intelligence that doesn't play for my team is a "bad guy". And since everybody belongs to multiple conflicting teams, even a person who plays on one of my teams is a "bad guy" from the perspective of my other teams.

If the first place you go with a disclosure is to the intelligence community, you are hurting users.
I recently listened to a 2015 interview with Ron Gilbert where he discusses this, it's here: https://youtu.be/cktmhqXMsGI?t=3638 and summarised in this reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/4bwnzm/comment/d1d...
If you prominently advertised that you don't retain data, but it turned out that you did and it got leaked, that's a straightforward case of fraud. Given that the services would be advertised over the internet, it probably counts as wire fraud which means the feds would get involved. On the other hand if they had permission to keep your data and they got hacked, it becomes a messy tort case where the plaintiffs has to prove that the company didn't try hard enough to secure the data. In other words, the point isn't to guarantee that your data won't be leaked/hacked, it's to make it straightforward to go after you if you decide to lie.

This is why I won't use any genome sequencing service that has a bunch of ancillary services attached (eg. analyzing your ancestry, or figuring out what diseases you're at risk for), and you have to request deletion of data. The fact they provide such services means that your data is getting automatically uploaded to the cloud, probably resulting in multiple copies to different systems/databases/vendors. Even though you can theoretically request deletion, all those copies means there's a non-negligible chance that there's a copy lying around in a decommissioned s3 bucket that they didn't delete. If they service promises sample -> sequencing machine -> lab computer -> [PGP encrypted email/mailed CD], that cuts the risk considerably.

A shavette/straight razor blade: even after deciding on going 100% bald I still love cutting my own stuff, so I decided to go down the rabbit hole of self beard cutting. Never had more fun, outlining my beard has become one of my favourite pastimes ever. And I can have my beard on point whenever I need to, at no cost. Paid ~20€ for the blade holder, and ~8€ for 400 blades. (Bonus addition: hair clipper. Just make sure you buy one that has a lever and enough RPM)

Audiophile IEMs: there's a lot of stuff under the 200€ mark that can make your ears feel previously undiscovered levels of joy. And if you're listening to music a lot of time, this is a damn good investment. Truthear and Moondrop have a lot of interesting affordable options.

Acoustic panels: if you play music on speakers a lot, getting your room to sound drier can really make you discover new levels of detail. Just don't buy the cheapest polyuretane ones, as they only cause random dips in mid freqs.

Smart watch/band: Nothing too fancy, just anything that can notify me of stuff so I can keep my phone away and avoid picking it up to read a simple text message.

European nations might buy a lot of hardware from the States, but the US also maintains a large and very expensive military presence there, and everywhere.

So if military relations cool down, the US pulls out of Europe, and Europe exclusively buys its own arms, it might actually save the US money.

IPv6 when it works is awesome.

However, outside some well-connected datacenters with multiple peering exchanges, I have no clue where in the world you can run everything in IPv6 with even a single nine in availability.
