Thunks in javascript are barely related to historical thanks. There's so little overlap that they're borderline tangential.

And to the OP's argument, he's really just recounting his experience. It's a widely shared experience as you've admitted. There's a huge coterie of people who have seen things done well and seen things done badly, and while we ALL would admit modern javascript has brought some improvements over the old ways, we also believe the tradeoffs are rarely worth it and we are still building and searching for ways that are in line with the best paradigms we've seen.
> Bulgarian society is driven by a different set of cultural values and you cannot understand it through the lens of these grand-explanatory mechanisms offered by US think-tanks.

I am trying to understand that set of cultural values through the lens of my own eyes. I don't think the influence of US think-tanks is something that matters to me much.

Family values are something I understand, as we are not too different in South America.
Agree! See my next comment.
Does better government imply current government employees losing or having to change jobs? That’s sort of not possible at scale.
Their grievance is that Israel doesn't wait anymore until its killers come and try to kill people there, but has decided to make them go away. How exactly do you think we should address the Houthis grievances? Tell Israel "sorry, but the Houthi will only stop shooting rockets on ships if you accept getting murdered. Would this be okay?"

Not really, but if they were referred to as “Obamites” it wouldn’t be that jarring.

Are they referred to by something different in Arabic-language media?
The problem with provider supplied services like hosting and email is that people understandably don't want to tie cloud services to their home internet connection. What if you move, or find a provider that offers better/cheaper internet service.

As a result, few people use them, and because they stopped being a competitive advantage, providers stopped offering them, and when they do, it is usually not free and a borderline scam. A way to add fees to unsuspecting users for something they won't even use.
It can make logical sense, in game theory. For example, you can have two situations:

A) thing A is the most beneficial thing for person A to do

B) thing A benefits person B way more than person A

These are not mutually exclusive.

I'm not exactly arguing for this (I'm not sure if the US or its allies benefits more, and we'd have to define what "benefits" means and "who" benefits etc.. etc.. etc..) I'm just saying this is very obviously possible: where the US having a huge military is the best thing for the US, and also its allies benefit from this MORE than the US benefits from it.
I invest significant resources in my desktop. But my laptops? For the last 5 years or so I've used exclusively pre-owned chromebooks, cost about 50 dollars on mercari. Flash aftermarket firmware, install linux, and I'm in business. Its usually a celeron with 4 gb of ram, although my first was 2 gb. They're plenty snappy. Youtube loads pretty much instantly. Playing actual real games is probably a step too far, but as a second screen to just have and use around the house there isn't really any compromise.
Well yes, the goal is to shoot, talking wont bring more profit to lockheed after all, only killing can do that.
I assume because they are doing stuff that isn't OK with EU laws, for example, and they didnt bother changing that for EU users yet
I think most miss is that what the media refers to as "Houthis", is the de facto Shia Government of Yemen.

Pointing this out because some of the comments read as bafflement over their organization and equipment. They are not a rag tag collection of villagers who decided pirating is the best path forward. They are often trained military.
UNSC might force a ceasefire today which will likely stop these attacks on ships.

I think that maybe because a lot of its target users really care about their discord identities, it makes it easier to moderate with the threat of banning offending accounts
Kids shouldn’t be allowed to have phones while in school. We dealt with it just fine even in the early 2000s… there’s no harm. No you don’t need to be able to reach your kid at any time of the day. Remember when kids just went outside?
I like how Chinese do not want to get involved in protecting vessels, despite the fact that it’s their containers on board.

I built a vacation plant waterer with some tubing, 3d-printed heads, submersible pumps and an Arduino. For a longer trip, I needed a source of water that I could pump from.

I realized the toilet tank is self-refilling because of the float valve and won't overflow . So clean it out and a good place to pump my submersible pumps.
Why the heck is this guy using AI robot technobabble like "surprisal-minimization engines" and "hyperpriors" to reference the birth of their kids. That's so fucked up, not everything in the world is about "tech" and VC-fueled bubbles for goodness' sake! I realize that we're on the orange site and VC is everything here, but still it's the first time I've seen anything remotely like this.

And regardless it can't possibly be a mentally healthy attitude for any new parent. Your kids are human beings with needs and a moral standing of their own, they're not frickin "engines" or robots for you to train as your minions.
This is cool. I was recently looking for something to use for quick notes. This should serve my use case
If only it was limited to just kids. There's a whole genre of "influencers" whose main form of content seems to be annoying the shit out of the general public[1]. Not to mention cases like the guy who crashed his plane into a mountain[2].

Vim has several nice escape keys, including the ability to customize your own. Some of the ones I've seen people use are:

Ctrl + ]/[ (I forget which...I've never used this one)

jj

Caps Lock.

My preference is to globally configure my Caps Lock key in whatever OS I am to "ESC on tap; Ctrl on Hold". This works amazing for VIM and is fantastic for non VIM usage as well.

Note: I don't use the mac regularly enough since I discovered this so I'm not sure if it's possible on the Mac (historically Karabiner has achieved whatever I've needed, so I suspect it would be able to do this as well) or if I should set it to CMD instead of Ctrl (On Mac, CMD, or the Apple Key, or whatever Apple is calling it these days, is far more analogous to Ctrl on other platforms).
Heya, you might want to check out FusionAuth community edition (my employer). It's very comparable to Keycloak and definitely simpler to set up and run. It's free for unlimited users.

Serokell's Work on GHC: Dependent Types, Part 2
Re. sexual abuse, RAINN says 34% of child sexual abuse is by a relative. Unless you're replying to GP, specifically saying "incest is more likely to happen in the family" (which is definitionally true, but vacuous), this appears to be mistaken.

I remain to be convinced re. physical abuse, particularly from other children, particularly given what I know of adult care homes.
Their grievances are pretty simple and straightforward, they even put them in writing on their flag, which is just green and red text on a white background. Which ones specifically are you willing to support or concede for peace? Here's the list:

1. God is the Greatest

2. Death to America

3. Death to Israel

4. A Curse Upon the Jews

5. Victory to Islam

Autocracies work very differently. War gives them an excuse to crack down on dissent, e.g. criminalizing opponents. Also, the foundational reason for the existence of the autocracy is often an unresolved conflict or grievance, for example North Korea, so they need to perpetuate the grievance.
A week or so ago there were rumors they were building the functionality into the website, with some heavy users getting early access.

If you’ve been following this blog you’d know that this is a frequent subject of it.

This is similar to a programmer parent getting a “hello world” shirt for their baby.
I’ve been using reading to keep thinking about things I want to focus on. Getting involved with some different thoughts around a theme eases my anxiety around it and allows me to have a more ordered "vocabulary of ideas" around those problems.

This leads me to read some "boring" books, some simple self-help stuff whose sole point is not to engage and make it extremely important in my life, but to think and organize those ideas.

I'll read other nonfiction books because the subject interests me, such as history or math/probability.

However, my approach is insufficient.

I bought a cheap course from a local intellectual in my country (math and philosophy) on "how to have an intellectual life". My main takeaway was that I lack a fundamental question (or a set of) that I should use to guide reading and studies. For you to research, think, and confront your fundamental question you should have a solid base and read many angles, tangential including, around your fundamental question.

This framework should guide the readings since if something is way above your head or skill, there is some base knowledge lacking and you should study those first. The way to organize all of this is through writing and reflection, where you summarize and intentionally spell out shortcomings and conclusions, even if sporadically.

So yeah, I liked the approach and have, during this year, slowly adding to my study routine.

One final add is the latest Ali Abdal video which sort of talks about this

I find it genuinely puzzling. In my view, his involvement in "harvesting eyeball scans of poor people" (worldcoin) represents a risk of a public relations/media scandal that should put him on a blacklist for investment by universities, which are very sensitive to PR issues.

It looks like it's just an alternative python run-time that's small. Seems like the kind of thing you would use for specific resource constrained projects.

I don't think it makes sense for me here though. I wouldn't want people to have to learn about an alternative python distribution just to use the CLI, and 10mb isn't that big all things considered. Is rather have fewer apparent dependencies. I don't see anything about generating small executables with it yet from my search.

> Your conclusion shouldn't be that seatbelts don't do much

My conclusion is weaker than that. It's that while we try to do what we can, we should retain a kind of humility and realism, that we remember we don't get a 'final say' over own fates. And also that we recognize our continuity with the disabled, even in times of our own health, and that our individual pursuits of health not become a desperate striving to separate ourselves from others who are perceived as weak or helpless.

I think one of the things that has made my father's predicament so earth-shattering to him, beyond even the prospect of death, is that he really wants to think of him self as the kind of person who 'doesn't get sick', that he could really, simply, choose to be well. As a result, the cancer has been not just terrifying and uncomfortable, but an irreconcilable challenge to his worldview. As a result, it seems like he's really struggling to integrate an understanding of his current situation into his perspective. Instead, he flips back and forth between his old view (that he's kind of invincible, that disability and illness are for other people) and a new despair.

Remembering the limits of our control isn't, for me, about giving up, but about grounding ourselves and staying connected to others (including to those who are ill or disabled in ways we might not want to even imagine as possibilities in our own futures).
Going back a bit: Hilzoy, from Obsidian Wings, springs to my mind. I'm still sad that she stopped writing (at least publicly, under that name).

That RF remote control comes with a USB dongle; it appears as a HID device so essentially the buttons act as if they are keypresses on a keyboard (cursor keys, enter etc). So the code just receives the keypresses, and uses them to select the appropriate mpd function (forward/back, volume up/down while the power button simply acts as pause/unpause).
"Mitigation" suggests that the config change makes the problem less severe. This config change is a complete fix for the problem, although for a high-volume server that handles a lot of lists, it might impact performance.

In Middle East, any given actor hates most other Middle Eastern actors. Hate is not in short supply there.
They have asked feedback some time ago what users would want from a dedicated app. So I'm sure that is on the works.

On of the reasons I think is their statement on making it publicly available. In order to make your images private, you have to pay a hefty monthly fee. It levels the playing field as most of the prompts are public and you can learn from others.

The main application is actually a thin wrapper around a library that does exactly that, so the best way would be to not perform the final step of turning the data structure into an image.
That’s my point but I may not have made it well. On its own that “feels” high but a better representation would be to look over time and also try to adjust for things like services offered — eg more sports teams likely means more admin.

I don’t know if I’ve seen that dataset though.

What are your thoughts on Hubzilla?
You're describing life. This is diplomacy, while we can argue about its effectiveness I'm certain we can agree that it's still better than China, Russia and or Iran. It's just a matter of perspective - the west is the lesser evil here
A man I disagree with strongly (Donald Rumsfeld) said something wise that very much applies here.

It’s about the pesky Unknown Unknowns and systemic failure.

“ Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.”
It’s not just ships directly going to Israel but also ships going to countries that are aiding Israel (basically, all of Europe).

Was it violent, or did he have a normal autistic reaction to the shitty things police do when they're on a mission?

Every autistic interaction I've ever seen with police has ended up with the police making some obvious mistake that made it impossible for the autistic person to react "properly". They always say confusing things, and they bark their orders over and over really fast so you can't think straight and thus can't follow their orders fast enough. You make one "wrong" step and they think it's okay to start touching you, something that makes many autistic folks involuntarily react in ways that can seem violent but often aren't violent at all.

Maybe you’re misunderstanding my comparison. I know a cheap Chromebook isn’t going to be anything better than a new more expensive laptop.

But compared to this, which I found on eBay. Putting Linux on that? it would outrun that Chromebook by 1000 fold.
