It is unimaginable to me for Gaza to ever resemble singapore. Singapore had massive advantages that took hundreds of years to create and its biggest continues to be its position along the straight of malacca. If singapore was not along the straight theres no doubt in my mind that it would be in a much much worse position today. Singapore actually has long standing hostilities with Malaysia. The only reason it exists today in its current form is the economic advantage given by its location.
I'm trying to make the moderation calls as even-handed as possible and have scolded many accounts (and banned some) who are taking the opposite position from yours—including the commenter who was just arguing with you here.

That doesn't change the fact that you (I don't mean you personally, but everyone commenting) need to follow the rules and post in the intended spirit regardless of what others are doing.

Everyone always feels like the others started it and are doing worse; if you take that as a basis, all we end up with is a downward spiral, and that's what we're trying to avoid here.

Oh this is fun. I'm in the process of building something similar, but I'm splitting it into two parts: the first part is a static site generator and the second is a CGI that implements the micropub spec, which can run the static site generator when it receives new content.
> According to the FTC's analysis of the order on its site, X-Mode violated the FTC Act by "unfairly selling sensitive data, unfairly failing to honor consumers' privacy choices, unfairly collecting and using consumer location data, unfairly collecting and using consumer location data without consent verification, unfairly categorizing consumers based on sensitive characteristics for marketing purposes, deceptively failing to disclose use of location data, and providing the means and instrumentalities to engage in deceptive acts or practices."

I wonder why is the term "Unfair" being used instead of the world "Illegal"?
While I'm not a military expert, I think it would be reasonable to rule out the possibility of a similar massacre any time soon, for decades at least. It seems unlikely that Hamas would get away with it a second time? They put everything into a one-day surprise attack. The Israeli defense was caught unprepared despite being warned, but they have much more power and they can learn.

What happens in the wider conflict (with other Iran-backed militias) is another question.
What Israel is doing right now should be viewed from the point of view of the goal of removing the Hamas threat as such. The logic here is "Hamas should go - what's the best way to make that happen?" and from this POV the situation is not too grim. It's obviously best to avoid casualties as much as possible, but we are far from perfect wars.
Its not a textual representation thing, there are other repeating sequences that do not converge.

I mention limits because that was the context in which I learned about this, others have pointed out you can demonstrate this with just algebra (which makes me wonder if I just wasn't paying attention when that lesson came up).
Yes. Not been to Turkey, but I read about cuisines, for fun, including on Wikipedia and food blogs. And IIRC, steak is called biftek in Turkey.
No, I don't think questioning the allegiance of pogrom victims is a good play.
It's definitely going down. But the fact that streamers pay them must mean they have some perceived value.
I take it more as frustration.

All available information sources are full of bullshit and conflicting information too, so good luck quantifying any of the available information on hazards.

Frankly, ignoring it all and just living a reasonable life with reasonably low processed foods seems about right though.
> And then everyone who wants peace invests lots of money and expertise over a long time to build a modern, prosperous, stable Palestinian society

When Israel left Gaza in 2005 it had no blockade and an airport. Israel blockaded them and bombed their airport because they kept using everything to attack Israel.

If Gaza and the West Bank were given complete independence with no interference, what makes you think it will turn out different and they won't use the open borders to bring in weapons to attack Israel?
There are ways to live that can tick all the boxes except for one: It does not scale.

If we accept non-scaleable methods then household chickens are great. They keep pets away from gardens, it reduce the need to cut grass, and they are much better than composts. Naturally this method is limited to people who own a house and have garden/outdoor area that is suitable, and where local government allows it.

An other great but non-scalable method is to eat anything that is invasive or which population is a major threat to bio diversity, assuming one do not cultivate or raise it. There are some obvious risk of perverse incentives, but it can be utilized to benefit the environment when done right.

For in-person summer math experiences, there is https://rossprogram.org/ among other math camps many of which are listed at https://summermathprograms.org/

Ross provides significant need-based financial aid (which can cover all fees for the six-week program).
Would it be democratic if it became independent, though?

Hamas specifically came to power via elections, but hasn't held any elections since then under various excuses, so they clearly aren't champions of democracy.
That is indeed weird.
I'm talking about dumping the subsequent bootloaders such as GRUB to a file located in a Windows-accessible location, and then adding a menu entry for Windows Boot Manager to chainload into it.

As far as I know, Windows doesn't just overwrite the BCD like that unless you explicitly tell it to.

Also, obviously the assumption is Windows isn't a showstopper such as in my case. I'm inquiring if there are any practical or technical concerns that would preclude using WBM as a shim.
Ask Carter what he thinks about that. I think he'd at least admit that Biden has a huge hindsight - the world today is so different from 1970-s.
Abortion is probably one of the leading causes of the demographic destruction (and by extension, destruction of political influence) of the black American community.

Not only religious fanatics oppose it in its current form in America.
This is by design; the CPU cores will use any power given up by other parts of the chip.
It's ~20k women and children killed/missing(presumed killed) at this point. There's no shortage of any kind of attrocities against civilians to be found online.

You can find anything from driving tanks over families with children, crushing them to death, and surviving children describing the ordeal, to videos of 9 year old being executed by a shot to the head in the street, to teenagers throwing fireworks and being shot and then finished off while laying on the ground. (in the west bank, even)

As for shooting people holding white flags, even CNN did a feature on that.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/26/middleeast/hala-khreis-white-...

Or the story of the church lady:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/family-remembers-cheris...

And there's an interview with the son somewhere (the person that is seen running to the woman in the end). I lost the link already, since there's a constant stream of new attrocities on Telegram, and there's no point keeping up.
Steer means something something more like Bull in modern German I think - it doesn't have the connotations of a castrated animal as in English.
The place I work at now uses Teams, and I legitimately didn't notice anything amiss.

- Channels randomly taking several minutes to load or outright refusing to load? Normal

- Calls dropping on a fast, stable ethernet connection? Normal

- Messages not sending, or appearing to send but silently never arriving/being dropped upon arrival? Normal

- Messages double- and triple-sending? Normal

- Messages being sent out-of-order? Normal

- Messages sending extremely slowly? Normal

- Attachments not loading? Normal

- Teams deciding logging in is just too difficult and I have to restart it at least once? Normal

I remember when I got an email today about an apparently outage describing all of the above (minus the call instability), I was like "wait, it's not supposed to be like this?"

And now that I type this out, especially having used Slack in the past, I realize what an indictment of Teams that is. (But I've also worked at a place that used Lync/Skype for Business/whatever they're calling it now, and it still manages to be pleasant compared to that mess. Though I won't give MS any credit there; the bar was on the floor, and they managed to avoid tripping over it.)
Probably unregulated capitalism.
I can think of many reasons, but for starters (obviously focused on web dev):
- pythons dependency management is insane. For PHP Composer seems a bit aged, but compared to all others i've had to work with in the last decade, it's still the best to work with

- the PSRs are pretty good & make the whole language seem like a good big framework

- php can actually be very fast nowadays

- decent type system (if you're unlike me any don't hate working with annotations, you'll be even happier)

- since php8 (especially 8.1 and 8.2) there were a lot of major new things (property promotion, named parameters)

On the contrary:
- php.ini must die. It's not causing much issues for me anymore, but it just doesn't feel right.

I don't know why, but no matter how much i work in other languages, even if i really enjoy them (eg. go), nothing when starting from scratch for web server stuff, i always end up going with PHP. Whenever it's "just web" on the serverside, nothing beats php. Especially when you ignore the bad stuff and look at really well designed modern projects based on php8.

I just think it might be time to fork php8, start with a new name & get rid of all the old, dirty stuff that's still there for some weird & non-realistic backward compatibility.

If anyone is up for that task, i am happy to help & finance parts of that.
It's not apples to apples. You need to pay an employee to take a few hours to handle one complaint, multiplied by number of complaints. And this is more expensive than paying lawyers a much smaller number of times.
Yes it is glorified spellcheck. They’re checking your methods. If you claim to have built a perpetual motion machine they almost certainly will not reject your paper on the basis that “perpetual motion machines are impossible,” but on the basis that your methodology [almost certainly] has an error.
This is not the approach the West took with ISIS, which involved similarly one-sided fights against terrorist forces [1], nor do I think it's an approach that would have worked. When "everyone who wants peace" doesn't include the people in control of the guns and rockets, who instead want to kill their enemies by any means necessary (and themselves do not respect international law), you can't simply dialogue your way out of it any more than Ukraine could have dialogued their way out of getting invaded by Russia.

The ICJ ruled that Hamas return the hostages unconditionally, but everyone knows that won't happen — Hamas is simply unaccountable. "Everyone who wants peace" can't even get the Red Cross access to the hostages, let alone get them returned. Vague calls for diplomacy with terrorist groups doesn't solve much, which is why people are asking you for specific solutions — it's easy to say Israel should stop fighting, but then: what should it do? How would you actually ensure it doesn't keep getting attacked, repeatedly, as Hamas continues to insist they plan to do?

1: Mosul alone had ~10,000 civilian casualties and that was less densely populated than Gaza City and didn't have tunnels: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/show/thousands-more-civilia...

And it similarly had about 1MM civilians displaced: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/06/world/middleeast/mosul-ir...

And that wasn't the end of the fight against ISIS!
Yup. And landfilling plastics is actually a decent and environmentally responsible thing - carbon re-sequestration, essentially.
No, this is what journals are and always have been. Historically they were much looser even. Essentially just mailing lists of interested parties.
Or just bury it in a landfill.
I assume lots of glitches occur (after all they "move fast and break things") and feel if they engage with one they'll be required to engage with others. While if they just spend the effort to stonewall the few who complain they'll save money in the long run. They have billions of accounts, so what's a few to them?
This seems like it's getting a bit repetitive at this point. I argue that a concept that is difficult to measure necessarily has a vague, useless, or exceedingly complex definition. I'm not seeing a good argument to the contrary.

Yes, I get that the idea of programmer productivity seems simple. It's just how much "stuff" they do! But, once you start trying to work out the details of what "stuff" is and how to evaluate programmer productivity, it all suddenly turns into a big hairy pear-shaped mess. To me, this makes the concept of programmer productivity pretty darn useless.

And yes, I've worked with or observed a pretty wide variety of developers. As is the case with any other industry, there are some geniuses and other people that are just fantastic -- but also, they tend to be people who have found the right role for their personality and interests. I've also seen a lot of fair-to-middling people who had unsung talents but were stuck keeping the lights on somewhere. I don't think any of this is helpful for understanding the meaning of productivity.

Managers have been trying to figure out how to evaluate developer productivity for at least 25 years -- that would've been about the time I read my first trade rag. All they've managed to do is generate a lot of human misery. You'd think 25 years would be long enough for people to come around to the idea that maybe this developer productivity thing they're chasing is an illusion. But ... naaah.
That was March 13. WWDC 2019 was June 3. Do you seriously think that Apple magically switched everything to iPadOS in 2 months? And why? How exactly did iPadOS even help with the Spotify complaint?
Germany was reduced to rubble, their population submitted to complete and total surrender, and their leaders were all executed. Japan was firebombed into oblivion and then had two atomic bombs dropped on their civilian population. And both were then completely occupied and had their government dismantled and replaced by their conquerors.

What Israel is doing right now seems to be far closer to what happened in Germany and Japan after WW2 than whatever diplomatic solution you are proposing.
> I can already easily answer their question without unlocking my device, and if they want evidence, they can get a warrant.

You can’t answer their question with anything but hearsay. This is why I brought up the DUI checks because we know some people are going to lie, and hard evidence can easily be acquired to sidestep that issue. The suggestion above would be similar in terms of having minimal privacy concern and because it’s cheap and easy it’d actually be done in non-egregious cases.
Ah this. Meanwhile, a face to face meeting is ultimately much more secure and avoids any ability of investigators to get a neat, clean transcript without bugging a cafe table with a mic. I routinely collect signal messages for my job. Not LE either! So be wary of what you trust. The capabilities of your adversary probably exceeds yours.
I don't know of anyone who uses these products. I would probably avoid.
Apparently even quite basic things like splitting a string are done in unsafe code. So it sounds like while it may not be 100% unsafe, most of it is.
Be careful; some AMD iGPUs (like the 7700X mentioned above) are incredibly weak (1 WGP) and not usable for gaming.
Kids losing life and limb to accidents did happen in the past, and the rates might be higher than what we want to tolerate today. We certainly don't tolerate the child mortality rates of previous ages (though most of those were caused by disease, of course).

So while I agree with what you are arguing for, I don't think your argument is valid by itself.
When lawyers are asked who are paid thousands an hour they would gladly go ten years at it.
it's not about users though. it's about the business relationship between gatekeeper and third parties who want access to the software and APIs and platforms.

if you sideload an app you are still taking advantage of apple's UI, user base, API SDKs, etc. and apple did enter into a relationship with its users which it wants to protect, in terms of security, privacy, and functionality of the device.

if apple wants to protect the enclave, for example, by ensuring alternate store apps use its APIs, that makes sense. this was never about running arbitrary code on iPhone; that's not what gatekeeper status or the DMA was meant to provide.

apple is like 22% of the market in europe. where's all the furor about every other business? the 78% owner also has a lot of issues, but i understand that apple is just so hated for being a company whose products people enjoy that don't get canceled after one year of operation.

also, the DMA doesn't say that apple can't make profit. the EU is still a capitalist society, and until there is a regulation that says what companies can and can't charge for phones, developer entitlements, services, then... there's not much to be done.

lastly, if there were no fees or hurdles or restrictions for alternate app stores then every single large company (not just gatekeepers) would open one so they could plaster their ads, make their own profit, drive users to their own stuff, and basically capture them in their fiefdom. and the DMA makes no provision as to how alternate markets need to behave. i and probably many many others do not want meta or msft or tencent or whomever to steal data, use underhanded business practices, ship shitty code, and do basically anything they want (that apple nor its users could control or do anything about) and that's just wrong.

openness is good, but if the cost is that chrome takes over the world like IE again and that meta can spy on iOS users and drain their batteries like no tomorrow, and force users to use their NFC payment system and secrets manager and whatever other ridiculous crap in order to use their social network, please stop. the DMA has failed if that is the case. we'll head back to the 90s and dumbphone era when you were trapped to use, see, or suffer from terrible and insecure 3rd party applications.

the one thing that cannot be argued is how good apple is at data protection and user privacy. please don't ruin that for millions because spotify wants to earn more money.
No, there were no reports of a pogrom against Jews in Egypt in 1956. However, during the Suez Crisis in the same year, some Jewish individuals faced increased tensions and discrimination. Many Jews eventually left Egypt, but it wasn't a pogrom in the traditional sense.
Thank you. I'll try to do my best.
Simon Roper is great. I was amused how I could understand the 'English' by the late 14th century pronunciation, but understood less when I was in Dublin in the 21st century when native hiberno-English speakers conversed together.
>Meanwhile, it's eminently possible to be effective without "tangible incentive" (not sure what this means, I'm guessing from context "money"). It's pretty common in the art world, in fact.

Huh? Most of the art world is extremely ineffective (and the part that is effective tends to be money-oriented).
A crack in Section 230 would be disastrous.

But this doesn't look like a crack at all, and IG never tried to claim that they had deliberately chosen to delete the account. That might even have pushed it under Section 230!
Not if they have more to gain in 'heaven'. Remember, Hamas are religious fanatics.
I decided to undertake the project after my friend Matthew Hinton introduced me to stack based programming -- he claimed that they were elegant because they allowed for both easy metaprogramming and side effects, to which I agreed after writing a little bit of my own language. It was really easy to implement, too -- most of it took only one day, and getting the basic functionality working took only 2-3 days.

Goals -- I eventually want to write an emacs-like text editor in stem by writing a C library that does bindings for ncurses. I think it would be fun, for one, and I think it would not be that hard of an end product to make. I also had plans of writing a stem compiler, and I already pretty much know how to do that, but there are a couple of difficulties in doing that. Namely, right now, there is no way of telling the difference between compile-time and runtime operations, which will slow the language down considerably. My solution to this currently is basically "interpret once, run binary forever", but the details are still need to be worked out.

Problems it solves -- to be honest, you can really do anything in any programming language, but this langauge aims to be a higher level rendition of stack based programming languages, mostly for scripting and creating abstract representations of things.

Note that I am still trying to write in a couple things, namely, an actual include statement as a builtin that reads from some predetermined standard include directory, and an OOP implementation using metaprogramming in the standard library.

Not to mention the fact that I have been really interested in writing programming languages since I was in high school. One interesting thing about stack based languages is that the AST need not be generated at all. I taught myself a lot of linguistics, specifically generative grammar, as a result of attempting writing various programming languages in the past, and so these types of projects are just interesting to me.

If you ARE looking for one unique thing about this language, though, it is that `def`, the method by which you define functions, is itself a word. I don't think a lot of stack based languages do this (because it is much harder to compile languages like this as mentioned above), but it offers much more internal consistency within the language as a result.
They've been applying sewage sludge to fields for years with the EPA's blessing:

https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2019-12/documents/ep...

All kinds of shit goes into the storm water drains, including a bunch of Teflon's relatives.

On the rare occasions that they test a field for PFAS, it often comes up positive. I think it's just "don't ask, don't tell" at this point.

(Edit: Ok, maybe it's "only" 5% of farmland: https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2022/04/ewg-forever-c... )

I mean, maybe I shouldn't be that hard on them -- you do need to reuse human and animal waste if you want to be sustainable, and this is a plausible way to do that, and they weren't thinking about PFAS at the time (only PCBs are mentioned in that document) -- but it should be obvious now that the current sewage system is not compatible with this use case. Too many nasty things can get into it. Which does create a problem -- if you don't apply the sludge, then what do you do with it? It's like we need a whole separate system for only organic waste. Or we have to stop selling to the public -- or to industry -- any compound we're not willing to eat.
