> Cars are weapons

Cars are obviously not weapons, they are vehicles. The definition of weapon is something which primary use case is to kill or maim. The primary use case of a car is transportation.

Do you say that a pencil is a weapon? You could stab yourself by accident with a pencil.

> It did order Hamas to release its prisoners

No, it didn't order Hamas to do anything, as it has no authority to order non-state actors. It, in the last of the paragraphs that are part of the discussion and not part of the provisional measures that constitute the binding orders, “calls on” Hamas and other armed groups to release all hostages immediately and unconditionally.

How does history prove any such thing? That's neither how history or proof work. Most of the wars that have been resolved to everyone's benefit have done so by the unconditional surrender of the aggressors, followed by amicable reconstruction.
> They just want Palestinians to have full human rights

Hamas certainly doesn't want Palestinians to have full human rights. Regardless of how unjustifiable some Israel's actions are or what one might think about them Hamas is a fundamentalist terrorist organization and they certainly were/are/would be unwilling to extend "full human rights" to Palestinians or anyone living in Gaza or anywhere else.
This is complete nonsense. Israel isn't pursuing genocide. They've killed less than 100,000 Palestinians out of several million. That's obvious restraint compared to what they could do if they really wanted to.

You may not like Israel but the word 'genocide' is being abused here, and this whole ICJ ruling is theater.

I think of it more from the writer's perspective. In my experience, a large number of people shy away from writing anything because they feel they cannot write in a way that makes them sound smart. (And if they're not smart, they believe the recipient will not be interested in helping them.) I think there's value in tech companies helping people overcome that fear.

It's a not-for-profit centered on mental health - they probably are in it for the good cause. You are right that the governance of a non-profit can be a lot like a business, but it doesn't have to be. If you really don't like the vision the directors of a non-profit have for it, you probably should either change the vision (by getting involved at the board level) or stop volunteer there.

> USB-C cables are ludicrously cheap

Shitty USB-C cables are ludicrously cheap. Quality cables are merely not expensive, and when you have to replace them in quantity [1], it leads to a decent amount of money having to be spent to replace otherwise perfectly fine non-USB-C cables and a whole bunch of electronic waste as those now-obsolete cables make their way to the trash bin.

—
[1] I easily have over a dozen and a half Lightning cables between the ones in my bedroom, my living room, my laptop bag, and my home desk. At ~$10-12 for a pair of braided Anker USB-C replacements, I’m looking at nearly a hundred dollars to replace them all.

> Have a "full" standard library where std::thread is M:N green threads and I/O is implemented behind the scenes that way, and a "thin" version where std::thread is OS threads and I/O is just passed through to the OS. (Then of course no_std for embedded.)

That sounds vaguely like what Rust used to have with its I/O functions before its green thread implementation was removed [0]? Not sure it's quite the same thing, though:

> In today's [2014] Rust, there is a single I/O API -- std::io -- that provides blocking operations only and works with both threading models. Rust is somewhat unusual in allowing programs to mix native and green threading, and furthermore allowing some degree of interoperation between the two.

> [snip]

> In this setup, libstd works directly against the runtime interface. When invoking an I/O or scheduling operation, it first finds the current Task, and then extracts the Runtime trait object to actually perform the operation.

> On native tasks, blocking operations simply block. On green tasks, blocking operations are routed through the green scheduler and/or underlying event loop and nonblocking I/O.

I'd note that there is Netflix for Meta Quest but it gets 2.5 stars

I haven't tried that one but I have tried Peacock and some others my reaction is "meh". Not so much that it a bad idea because it's not, but because as Karl Guttag has pointed out, apps like that seem to have had no thought into the user interface to control the location of the "screen". I find it baffling because it doesn't seem to be a hard problem.

In my case I have 2 TVs and I'm still most likely to watch TV on my tablet half because my XBOX sucks (doesn't like the coding tools used in many video files I have) and half because I like to get full-on cozy and lay on my side on the couch or the bed and hold the tablet size. If I could lock the screen to my head and do the same w/ VR that would be a reason to use VR.

Having used it heavily it is nowhere near painless. Where can you get a TPU? To train models you basically need to use GCP services. There are multiple services that offer TPU support, Cloud AI Platform, GKE, and Vertex AI. For GPU you can have a machine and run any tf version you like. For tpu you need different nodes depending on tf version. Which tf versions are supported per GCP service is inconsistent. Some versions are supported on Cloud AI Platform but not Vertex AI and vice versa. I have had a lot of difficulty trying to upgrade to recent tf versions and discovering the inconsistent service support.

Additionally many operations that run on GPU but are just unsupported for TPU. Sparse tensors have pretty limited support and there's bunch of models that will crash on TPU and require refactoring. Sometimes pretty heavy thousands of lines refactoring.

edit: Pytorch is even worse. Pytorch does not implement efficient tpu device data loading and generally has poor performance no where comparable to tensorflow/jax numbers. I'm unaware of any pytorch benchmarks where tpu actually wins. For tensorflow/jax if you can get it running and your model suits tpu assumptions (so basic CNN) then yes it can be cost effective. For pytorch even simple cases tend to lose.

Yeah sure this is the reason, also the iOS market is too insignificant to bother with apparently making a native app. Having it work for that minor platform called ios does make it a bit easier to work on that tiny platform called Vision Pro.
This isn't really an "operating system" problem. Particularly in the open-source world, there are a number of fairly core libraries that refuse to provide any kind of API compatibility.

Then, when there are a couple dozen applications/etc that depend on that library, it's almost an impossible problem because each of those applications then needs to be updated in lockstep with the library version. There is nothing "clean" about how to handle this situation short of having loads of distro maintainers showing up in the upstream packages to fix them to support newer versions of the library. Of course, then all the distro's need to agree on what those versions are going to be...

Hence containers, which don't fix the problem at all. Instead they just move the responsibility away from the distro, which should never really have been packaging applications to begin with.
There's pennies on the ground that the big places don't care about.

The charter of Hamas explicitly calls for the eradication of the state of Israel, the death of presumably all Jews, Muslim rule of all of Palestine, the explicit rejection of peace or any negotiated settlement (with explicit condemnation of the Camp David Accords), and Jihad as individual duty in order to achieve the aforementioned goals.

>Banks do not fuck around on this front.

So, I have a fair bit of insight into bank operations and their programming practices.

The vast majority of it is security theater. There is quite a bit of decent code near the core moving money portions, but once you start getting into the webapp side of things it quickly devolves into "Please do the basic minimum to ensure security of this application".
What you forget to mention is that, in many cases, a lot of those moves are indeed still contested.

And in fact, the Zionist argument is exactly that one: "because there were some Jews here 2000 years ago, this land must be a Jewish ethnostate". Why is that argument ok, but "there were Arabs here 80 years ago" is not?

Because, in reality, both arguments are stupid and tribal to a level rarely seen after 1950. Both should join modernity and move to a shared state - not based on XIX century racism, but on XXI century respect for democracy, religious equality, etc etc.

Unfortunately, the side with (atomic) power refuses to even countenance the possibility, because of a tribalistic ideology that shames some of their magnificent ancestors. And so we continue with an eye for an eye, like in the darkest of times.

There was an abusive manager (cursing, shouting, making subordinates cry) at a 200+k employee client I worked at. Subordinates told HR. I assumed they would fire him but they transferred him. I asked my manager because that seemed bonkers to me. He explained that that group had jobs to do that were low priority, had their own building, could only be transferred to. You couldn't leave except by quitting/retiring.

Some beancounter had figured out that the price of letting these horrible people wear each other out and quit was lower than firing for cause and facing lawsuits.

Sometimes at other clients I've wondered if the department I'm working with is their "roach motel" department.

They recently started releasing per-show viewing data. You can download a spreadsheet at the bottom of this press release. https://about.netflix.com/en/news/what-we-watched-a-netflix-...

At least if your goal is making money.

I think it can be a fun project to make an engine, and try to make models, together with some form of ingestion pipeline and finally solve and calibrate the models. Try some simple products, and see how close you can get to real world prices.

Making pricing/risk engines are in my opinion somewhat close to game engines even through that the domain is so different.

Really interesting write up. As someone that has spent a lot of time debugging these kinds of issues I feel the pain. I still have a lot of Apache instances lying around just on the basis that the stability, simplicity and consistency on offer outweighs the performance benefits of switching even to nginx.
