I heard the same anecdote about the upper classes adopting French after 1066 but the farmers still calling the thing by its animal name. Trust the Germans to just continue smashing nouns together, Schweinefleisch, Rindfleisch and my American wife's favorite: "Hackfleisch" (hacked flesh). Too bad Germany didn't get invaded by the French until Napoleon.
The F-35 seems to still be struggling. Among other things, it still is unable to survive a lightning strike, which is a pretty basic requirement even for civil aircraft. Making it the overriding priority stank of politics.
Well the libertarian position is the "Bad" or Exploitive Monopolies, (True Monopolies not "monopolies" like when people say Apple or Amazon are monopolies) only really happen when government protects them, or "regulates" the market to where no competition is possible.
There's a lot going on. It's just that almost none of the many things going on today started in 1971.
From linked link[1]: CATL is marketing 173-Ah VDA spec (Rectangular cells: 148mm length, 26.5mm width, 91 mm height - German specification).

I presume manufacturers make packs using whatever cell sizes they can source?

I had thought the trend was away from cylindrical (eg 4680) and towards prismatic or pouch cells? Whatever happened to the 1 metre long BYD cell: https://pushevs.com/2020/05/26/byd-blade-prismatic-battery-c...

I'm not sure what I will do, but I'm not voting for Trump either way.

There is a lot written about civil disobedience through not partaking in electoral politics, and that's _likely_ the direction I'm going to go if Biden does not change his tone (and hopefully actually do a proper apology for his actions so far).

This sucks, and I'll participate in local and even congressional elections, but for president I can not really find myself voting for Biden. I do not expect myself to agree 100% with any candidate, but there are certain red-lines that a candidate can not cross. I have a few of those, being anti-abortion is not something I can tolerate in any candidate. Being pro-mass-killing-looking-like-genocide is also one. I suspect this feeling is not unique to me.
So this is international, but is the aim for it to be used by an international audience? e.g. if a Brazilian were lamenting the fact that UrbanDictionary is in English, is this site for them?

Because right now when I explore the entries, all the definitions are in English. Is this the intent? So it's for English people to find out what international slang words are?

I feel like it would be good to be really clear about your audience.

Maybe one option would be to allow the writing of definitions in multiple languages. Then a user could look up a word, and see all the definitions and find the definition in their language.
I’ve mostly done that, though some apps use one color for foreground and another for background, where it doesn’t work.
I think it's that software is not all bad. ;-)
I tried to do this recently at $DAYJOB, but when you statically link a binary with musl, the dlopen() you get is a no-op:

https://github.com/bpowers/musl/blob/master/src/ldso/dlopen....

I tried to hack in a copy of the musl's dynamic loader (and also from old uclibc). But it took a few hours and my only result was segfaults.

Do you have any pointers on making this work?
That line of thinking doesn't make sense since Xinjiang is part of China while Gaza isn't part of Israel. One is a domestic question, the other isn't (going by the international recognition).
This article is from 2020. It may not represent anything current. It should be marked with the year on the headline.
>But what if politics wasn’t a career? What if there was no profit motive? What type of people would it attract?

The only kind of people I can think of willing to put up with the negatives of high political office (which include a non-zero chance of conspiracies to assassinate you) for no or little pay would be zealots and ideologues, likely already independently wealthy.
I’m saying that it’s reasonable for a police officer investigating a collision to ask the driver about a very common cause of collisions, just as we allow them to check for alcohol and require you to take a test if you appear to be impaired.

The feature described would be a nice way to support those questions in a manner which does not reveal private information, require you to unlock the phone, or otherwise risk giving them access beyond what’s needed to answer the questions during an official investigation. You could of course choose not to use it but why you’d want to give them additional access to your device is beyond me.
They don't even share borders. How "suddenly" could they possible cross Iraq and Syria?

> methamphetamine

Although I have never done meth, I had an addition to a type of amphetamine in my teens. It was not a physical addition, in the sense that there were no physical withdraw symptoms, but I can tell you from experience that it was a very "real" addition in the sense that it a) ruined my life b) I felt like I had no control over it and c) I needed professional help to overcome it.

A big part of the cycle was that the "down" felt like an overwhelming depression while the "high" felt like pure happiness coupled with the ability to hyper-focus on anything, which really fed into my personality type. It was that cycle that created a psychological dependency that was very hard to break. Every use created an incentive to use again as soon as the high started to wear off. I've never experienced that with anything else ... not even other types of drugs.

Basically after staying awake for an entire week because I was high on a stimulant 24/7, when I "crashed" I slept for days and that's when my mother realized that I had a serious problem and got me professional help because she was worried I was in a coma or something.

I've never experienced anything similar with video games, gambling, television, social media etc. So I have no idea if it's the same for people who develop "addictions" to those things. All I know is that you don't need physical withdraw symptoms to experience a very real addiction that you can't break on your own.
People have three fingers on the mouse and there is nothing obvious or simple in the fact that they must use only one of the three fingers.

According to your theory, most people should cut their extra fingers, because it is too difficult for them to remember that they can do and they should do different actions with each finger.

The user must input eventually the same information with a 1-button Apple mouse or a 2-button Microsoft mouse or a 3-button Mouse Systems mouse.

An Apple user must compensate the lack of mouse buttons by either making multiple mouse clicks or pressing simultaneously with the mouse various keyboard keys.

All these additional actions are slower, more complicated and harder to remember than the task of a user who must just choose with which finger to click.

So no, the idea that a one-button mouse is simpler for the user is just wrong. In fact it is both slower and more complicated.
Is it? Have you read his EWDs? They're quite interesting and he comes across as far more humble than many people seem to imagine him as. Blunt in his criticism, certainly, but not self-agrandizing or boastful.
Note that this article is from early 2020 and contains links about the F-35 that are much older than that.

An updated article would be very interesting.
I recall reading that Lockheed did quite an extensive documentation project to capture the knowledge needed to resume production. To the point of even making DVDs that show the assemblers showing how they performed each step of the manufacturing process.
We've hit peak peak.
And web apps. Even as an iOS dev myself, I can see there's a lot of apps out there that should've been websites.
On one hand, it's disappointing. On the other hand, most of the PinePhone software has been developed, adapted, and patched by enthusiasts. Many applications were never intended to work on mobile devices in the first place. And no top-down direction. Android and iOS have been around for 10+ years, and it would be interesting to compare early Android to PinePhone now.

I believe PinePhones ship with Manjaro and Plasma Mobile, which is notoriously slow and unstable, and is part of the reason why I went with Phosh.

For a more feature-phone experience, there is an ongoing project to put NuttX RTOS on PinePhone [0].

For a very performant and customizable but unusual (button navigation, terminal-based) experience, there is SXMO [1]

I like him because he is outspoken rather than because he is edgy.

I don’t know how amenable he was to his arguments possibly being incorrect, but I love working with/knowing people who are that combination of outspoken and not-overly-stubborn. People like that are a firehose of ideas and knowledge, even if not everything they say is correct. They also usually are “passionate” about their work and at least competent enough to have unorthodox opinions that don’t just sound blatantly stupid.

Most people are too timid or low-ability to be outspoken at all.
I can recommend Ellen Ulman, The Bug. She's a treat.
> Reducing required operator skill level and training needed is absolutely major driver in commercial/industrial equipment development

No, it is an imperative driven by capitalism. Employees don't want this. Tool users don't want this (because as you note, if the blade can cut everything it likely doesn't cut anything very well).

The motivation for the kind of tool development you're referring to is not the development of improved tools, but reduced labor costs (and sometimes, possibly, tighter tolerances). That's not a model for tools explicitly marketed (by Jobs!) as tools for everyone.
Calling it a Muslim ban is pretty disingenuous, and always was. The ban left out some very large Muslim countries, such as Indonesia and Pakistan for example.
JP Morgan market cap is $500b, how dumb can the guy be?
Because this ruling is clearly about reading between lines. It feels like it is simply directly chanelling US will.
The "drop dead" phrasing... "drop dead" / "drop your pants".

Presumably one of these is more extreme than the other ("drop your pants" is a thing doctors say for a proctology exam much like adtech installed in your phone, not a sexual assault reference) but regardless both are figure of speech hyperbole.
Thats incorrect.

Competition is not a panacea.

In this case, there is already competition between distribution channels, the issue is predators/malafide behavior who will always be able to run circles around channels.

I suspect that the cost of review is not apparent - review at scale is going to be outsourcing. Thats a whole bunch of contracting, management, and sheer work that new distribution channels will not be able to afford.

Adding competition doesnt help. At some point, it simply creates more vectors of attack.

The situation you describe is better served by a policing force, that stops bad actors.
Ah ok, I see. You are correct, I did misread that part.
It's a standard tactic of drowning readers with lies and misleading "facts". It takes time to refute them.
In theory i think they are supposed to ask the security council to step in if the order is ignored. Which would be unlikely to do anything, so nothing.

I think its likely israel will comply. The order is pretty weak and mostly stuff israel already claims to be doing. It wouldn't be worth the PR hassle to ignore it.
Yeah, thats the main engine site, the link submitted here is for a specific port. Not the same.
No, mainframe had almost exclusively dumb clients, at most some local display trickery but cloud is way, way more distributed. I think the main point is valid though: distribution of SW is now much easier, the stacks of floppies of my youth are luckily a faint memory.
> Israel shows every day that they are willing and able to live closely with the Palestinians who accept their right to exist and aren't trying to murder their families, without using apartheid-like systems of control

This is very much not the case in the West Bank where expropriation and colonisation of Palestinian land by Israeli settlers continue, under the watchful eye of the Israeli army.

The Israeli state has done it's best to ensure that there can be no viable Palestinian state, condemning millions of Palestinians to eternal military occupation and second class status in their own homeland.

Any claim that Israel is acting in good faith towards Palestinians is very much undermined by these facts.
I haven't tried that specific case, but there's no reason for it not to work -- if #1 (you/foo) gets merged first, the only automatic modification that needs to happen is to change #2's target branch from you/foo to them/main, which is no problem since that target branch is just metadata that lives in your repo. (Merging #2 afterwards would again need to be done by someone with write access to them/main, as you'd expect.)
Thank you, I really appreciate it!

It can definitely be daunting putting something out into the wild for people to see, but I've found the constructive criticism (in most cases) that comes with the territory can only help improve whatever it is I'm working. Gotta take it all in stride.

It’s the incidence that is important here. So while there’s higher survivability for cervical cancer, there are many more deaths. (At least until this vaccine)

So people are concerned with the risk of having throat cancer more than the risk of death if they get it. And this seems reasonable. As I have a very high risk of death in many improbable situations and I care more about lower risk of death in very common situations.

10k cases of throat cancer in men each year in the US [0]. Although HPV-related cancer, oropharynx, is less than that and harder for me to find a good incident rate. Almost 14k cases of cervical cancer in women each year in the US [1]

> Microsoft originally put Solitaire into Windows to soothe people intimidated by the operating system, according to Duzan. It gave them something familiar and fun to do with their computer while it also taught them how to use a mouse. Not surprisingly, for years Solitaire was the most-used application for Windows, Microsoft officials say.

No issues here. Maybe buffer bloat?
My dad had a heat exchange loop buried in his back yard. I believe he had it buried below the frost line.

In any case, unless you're building on permafrost, you can bury your heat exchanger deep enough to have your heat source at least 0 C in the dead of Winter. Though, for most of the US, the time to recoup the extra cost of the heat exchange loop is pretty high/never (counting the time value of money).
Using playwright you can get coverage for your used CSS on each page. It’s straightforward to build into E2E tests. Chrome will also tell you which rules were used on any given page.

That in turn could give guidance for how you could pattern match rules even further
If they were being successfully invaded, and facing defeat, the US would not be able to stop them from using nukes. What is the US going to do otherwise? End its support of a country that no longer exists?

Haha. Sounds like Java/C#/Go. All corporate (Oracle/Microsoft/Google) languages. Coincidence? ;p
I was already looking for a bug tracker to fix the swallowed newlines and blank lines after submitting... I'm so used to open source now, it somehow surprises me not to be able to find at least a public bug tracker even if I can't directly submit a simple fix.

One can share "feedback" via Google Docs, though :') yeah, no thanks

Now that you point out the data license, yeah, this project will definitely be dead within two years. No sustainable license and not interesting enough to revisit daily like Mastodon, so it will neither build a community nor a sustainable dataset. It's simple enough that part time support will let it survive in the background for a while, but colour me surprised if the author hasn't fully moved on come 2026
Casablanca is Atlantic, not Mediterranean.

You cannot get into the Mediterranean without passing through territorial waters.
True

Nation states are often immoral and hypocritical

The outrage from the USA at the invasion of Ukraine, when the invasion of Iraq is a crime of the same magnitude - both dreadful stains on humanity

Most recently the international support for the actions of the IDF whilst condemning Russian actions in Ukraine

SA is just normal in this regard
I'm a trader who runs a couple of profitable strategies. You can generate alpha by implementing quantitative (or discretionary) strategies as long as you adhere to the basic principles of profitable trading with a strong emphasis on risk management. There are a million possible trading strategies, which of these will suit your personality/risk tolerance/system design is a matter of personal choice.
While that's technically true, they were elected in 2006 and since then no elections have been held. Not only that, members of the Hamas murdered Fatah rivals in the years that followed. Not to mention that most of the population today in Gaza are so young that they didn't even vote Hamas in.

So while they have majority support, it's not like they've had any real alternative.
Thank you for the kind words. Will reach out when I get home next. Been a long day - we did a big mission today and I'm wiped so please excuse the short answers.

1. Hamas was located in a significant want under Al-shifa. Israel released video of our commando unit raiding it. You can find that video online. Hard to watch.

2. Because they're angry and they're being stupid and reacting emotionally. Please understand, they raped our women, tortured them and then murdered them. They did the same to our men, old people and children. Imagine for a second if a specific group did all that to lots of people that you loved and cared for. How would you feel? What would you post as you took your revenge? Israel is a tiny country. Everyone knows everyone. Everyone is related to everyone, or is at least friends with them on some way. So the disrespect is because they are furious with our enemy, and our enemy identifies specifically as religious muslims and arabs. Hard stuff.

3. Oh wow that's a hard one. It's complicated. We're in a war to claim territory with the Palestinians. I mean, you could reverse the question and ask "why are the Palestinians occupying Israeli land". The Palestinians arent a people, per se. They are the random groups of different arab families that were living in the area at the time of the creation of the state of israel. Some are from iran, some from
Syria, some from Jordan, egypt, etc. so we are not "occupying" their land because there is no "them".

Really what needs to happen is that we need to be separated. We can't continue to live in an intermingled fashion like this because it's too messy and unsustainable.

But.... that's a problem for another day. For today we just need to deal with Hamas and Hezbollah.

Good night =)
Many words have been anglicized and so 'junta' wouldn't mean anything to English speakers with a Spanish j. But with a hard j, it has exactly the same meaning to us as it does to you. English is an excellent thief but not respectful of the origins. Even the giant % of the English language that is French, we pronounce in our own way.

From my understanding, if Israel doesn't show that they're able to reduce civilian deaths, they can grant South Africa's ask on the case which (from my understanding) is effectively ordering Israel to stop the attacks, and asking the world to help enforce it.
This could be the weirdest kind of moat yet. If you crawled all the things and built a model before everything became bot-generated, you can get clean post-2024 human data from the human inputs to your tool. If you haven't, then maybe you're stuck with the 2023-and-earlier crawls, limiting your models' relevance. We've already seen that the feedback loops of training models on model outputs isn't nearly as valuable, and can get wacky fast. It'll be weird to see how that plays out.
Well that goes against multiple different sources claiming that such long-term digital storage doesn't exist. Plenty of threads on data hoarding talk about the problem of keeping data fresh even a few decades. It's pretty hard to believe any film could last 1000 years, but I'm no expert and I'd love to be wrong on this one. Thanks for the link.
Heh—that, for fuckin' sure. The fiction there runs the opposite direction, where China pretends (and encourages others to pretend) that Taiwan's less independent than it is, meanwhile just about everyone acts like Taiwan's in fact very much distinct and independent from China, even if they say otherwise.
The Minto Pyramid Principle (MPP) offers an analogous, perhaps more accessible, process to problem solving similar to Andrew’s description.

You use a problem solving process built on structured analysis by first defining the problem in terms of an Undesired Result (R1), Desired Result (R2) — the S and S’ in Andrew’s process. Then, you determine the Starting Point in terms of the logical structures that generate your R1; these structures can be a sequence of cause-effect, a structural decomposition (e.g. of organization, geography, etc.), a classification, or some combination of the three. From this structure you can hypothesize experiments to confirm/disconfirm where the causes are. With these causes in hand, you can generate possible solutions or corrective actions. Finally, you’d evaluate your alternatives and arrive at your solution to move from R1->R2.

MPP’s problem solving process has the additional advantage of structuring your actions/results in a way that makes writing a document or presentation simple and straightforward, to convince others for example.

Check out the book if you’re interested in improving your problem solving and analysis skills.

Surely Apple recognizes “*nix-sphere web software developers who want a nice laptop” as one of their target professional markets in the OSX era, too. That’s sold a hell of a lot of MacBooks. It’s developers of software for their own platforms that Apple has long had a tense relationship with.

The original iMac hardware specs were also pretty reasonable for when it came out, no?
Cloud is the new mainframe, Kubernetes is the new job manager, microservices are the new COBOL.
