For context, Major Paeta Hess-von Kruedener emailed [1] days before saying that Hezbollah were using his positions and the IDF was being forced to fire on them out of "tactical necessity". This isn't as clear-cut as you're attempting to paint it.

So unless what you're saying is that the setting is not obeyed or doesn't work as it implies, you're either working off ancient memory or lying and I don't necessarily have reason to believe you are the latter.

You wrote "Private automobiles do not belong in cities." I'm not sure what's ambiguous about that. Certainly if you tell me I don't belong someplace, I would take that literally.

Yes, that is valuable.
same I’ve tried to use flux multiple times and there’s just not an intuitive thing about it. I could barely draw a schematic.

I should add that I’m somewhat experienced as well. I’ve successfully designed 6 layer boards with blind via, BGAs, Bluetooth trace antennas before trying flux. Still have no clue how to use flux.
Yes? Use your basic reasoning. Hamas fights in civilian clothing, they hide in civilian buildings, they hide in hospitals. They use regular civilians as shields. This is not your average fight; Hamas hates their enemy more than they love their own country.
If I'm an app developer, am I not allowed to complain about Apple's policies on social media?
Basically my experience with homegrown. If you give it a typescript template for outputs, and a ton of prose to tell it how to respond, you usually get the right responses.
Unfortunately, everything is politics and politics is inescapable. "Ignoring politics" is also a political action and a political statement.
Might be worth calling out that it supports any OCI images, which seems to be the case from a quick skim throught the repo!
I have never been asked anything like that, except when it was for legal compliance (such as opening a bank account).

That 69 figure cannot be remotely close to accurate. Millions of civilians died from mass bombing campaigns alone, which certainly killed many journalists working for local outlets in those cities!

Each atomic bomb on its own probably killed more than 69 journalists.
That honestly does seem like a recipe for good code. And sure, there's tons of open source out there of dubious quality.

@resource0x in a sibling comment made the point that it's possible to write great code even if the program is a flawed design. I'm probably conflating those things.
So for one we do cache to remove load from dbms, then makes a lot of sense to remove load from dbms by giving it the load of cache too, another thing might be that separate services might be optimised for different tasks, redis is built with being first class in memory cache service, postgres is built with different first-class usage in mind, another one I can think of is resources, I can scale redis and dbms independently as their specific needs change

Overall for me this cache in postgres is a bad idea too
Well then, with that argument you can also stay with apple store and leave those second, third and fifth stores alone for those who want them.
Sure, maybe this was the better strategy given either strategy was going to be a long shot, but they high rolled for what was ultimately a contract renegotiation and lost worse than if they had played their cards differently. Higher risk can mean higher rewards, but in this case it just worked out to be a bigger loss. They were never entitled to the outcome they fought for, but it was their right to fight for it and Apple’s right to defend themselves and their policies.
But this isn't about quality at all.

It's about Apple trying to milk the system for all it's worth.

You can absolutely build a great product w/o trying to maximize profits to the extreme. That's just frowned upon in the current business world.
Transfer speeds by year
2001 USB: 480Mb/s

2012 Lightening 480Mb/s

2023 USB 80,000 Mb/s

2023 Lightening 480 Mb/s

Apple wasn't hesitant, they knew it was an inevitable switch so never invested in to Lightening.

They were quite happy knowing once you bought Apple, you kept Apple or you lost all your accessories.

They're still playing the same game now. My Airpods work grate on iPhone, but they only connect to some non-apple devices over bluetooth (not PS5), and when they do connect, if the mic is on the audio is awful.
What is striking about these casualties, is many of the reported deaths also include large numbers of family members of the deceased, killed at the same time.

So what is it then? The plausible deliberate targeting of the journalists mentioned? Or just, plain old indiscriminate bombing? Either ways, shame.
It did not. Find me that language in the ruling. Some media said that, but not the ICJ. If the ICJ thought this was really plausible they would have ordered Israel to stop. They did not.

30,000 dead is way too much for me. Not for the Hamas apparently? For Israel going after all 40,000 Hamas combatants, is probably legitimate, as long as Hamas keeps fighting. I would so much prefer that all of the Israelis that have been killed and all of the Palestinians that have been killed still be alive.

> Having a choice of marketplaces… imagine if Mozilla gave you that!

It sort of does, it's just not something devs take advantage of or that exists in an official way.

If you don't want to be listed in the addon store, you can do a signed addon that goes through a much less rigorous check and then distribute it however you want. Similarly within the addon store Mozilla has a concept of "vetted" and "unvetted" addons. You end up with roughly 3 layers of validation.

There's technically nothing stopping anyone from setting up a separate addon store using only the 1st-layer of validation (or even adding a wrapper around the 3rd layer of validation since it's all still ultimately XPI files). Automatic updates would even work, you can specify URLs to check updates from. I haven't fiddled around with it much though.

And sure, it would be nice to be able to skip even the 1st-layer signing when necessary, but what exists is still better than what a lot of other app-stores allow and in practice I suspect most addons aren't going to have trouble getting their stuff signed, so it's (likely?) not a huge deal if you wanted to make a 3rd-party store to require Mozilla-signed extensions. Maybe there's something I'm missing though.
I don't think they said that it was the highest, they just said "one of." From that list, 2:1 or 3:1 is certainly quite deadly.
I'm always puzzled by stories like this:

Why not just cut staffing to a minimal number of people -- go back to existing customers, and renegotiate existing contracts down (due to reduced support), and try to balance out the revenue with costs to get back to some level of profitability.

2-3 person indie hackers that bring in 400k in revenue are considered wildly successful. I have to imagine airplane.dev was bringing in enough revenue to support a team of 10 - 15 people who could forever be a thorn in the side of companies like retool. Maybe there could even be an exit one day for the people staying behind.

Even the founders could leave, just hand it off to a group of employees who are still interested in working on the problem, will have more control over the company, get better work life balance, etc. Rather than just scrapping it all

I'm sure it isn't this easy, since that seems to never actually happen, but can anyone illuminate me on why?
> How static are we talking here?

Enough for the executables to run everywhere. So I'm happy for system libraries to be dynamically linked.

That's what I'm imagining. A windows binary that starts a Linux VM in which the container runs.

Yep, inside of the Linux kernel. Here's what PID 1 looks like: https://github.com/NilsIrl/dockerc/blob/non_linux/src/init.z...

It's not 49% of the phone market in the EU. More like 36%, and in some markets like Italy and Spain, far far smaller.
I like the efficiency, but moreover I like low latency and highly observable solutions, perhaps because my first and most formative job was building hard-real-time interactive devices and this left me with a lifelong distaste for any system that responds more slowly than 100ms. Proxies inevitably introduce the latency of buffering, and this tends to go exponential to the point of timeout beyond 99%ile. Not saying network protocols don’t suffer at their limit too, but it’s more graceful and more directly instrumented.

Neither are particularly straightforward to reason about, but ordering guarantees (in the Lamport sense) are (in my experience) harder to ensure at regional scale with proxies and service meshes. There’s a counterexample, of course: at intercontinental and interplanetary scale we lack the ability to stabilise tree topologies with predictable forwarding latency and are forced to use service proxies and bounded timestamps on replicated data to achieve ordering guarantees instead, of which the best known example is possibly TrueTime. This trades interactivity for scale.

Multicast is definitely not easier to program for, and although I could attribute that to a shortage of high-level libraries, in practice the shortfall is mediated by the infrastructure dependency. This places it beyond the radar of most system designers in commercial environments, thus completing the elements of a downward popularity spiral. It’s a shame, but that’s tech.

I feel like this article should be called "The Law of Bad Abstractions." I often see this cited as a blanket rejection of complexity in software. But complexity is unavoidable and even necessary. A skillful engineer will therefore design their abstractions carefully and correctly, balancing time spent thinking forward against time spent implementing a solution. I think Joel understands this, but it feels weird how he frames it as a "law", as though it's something he's discovered instead of a simple fact that arises from the nature of what abstractions are: things that stand in for (or mediate interaction with) some other thing without actually being that thing. What a surprise that the stand-in ends up not being the actual thing it's standing in for!
> Personally, if I could own Kagi stock, I would.

I hope it never becomes possible to own Kagi stock. They seem like a great company, I'd hate to see them become worthless chasing eternal growth because shareholders demand it.
The reason AppleTalk was chatty was to make discovery easier. Unlike the corporate solutions, AT was peer-to-peer. Ut who are your peers? Uh, well, hmm.

That was also when networking was new, and chatty on thinnet meant lower bandwidth.

To be honest, i doubt the chatty protocols really impacted anything...except that "network administrators" didn't like the idea of packets ie: they wanted a clean wire. This might have been due to the phone company origins of networking people.

Oh, and maybe the chattiness fired up those uucp links?

The world now is totally different. Even on my home network there's tons of crosstalk.
I'm a happy Kagi user. It's not ground breaking or anything I'd even recommend to most people. It's a slightly worse Google search, with substantially better power usability. Normal, every day searches could be done on either Google or Kagi and the Google results are slightly better especially with regard to geo based critera. I don't have to specify "Name of City" in Google nearly as often as I do in Kagi.

However, when I'm trying to find some archaic technical solutions that I know is out there on the web somewhere, Google just can't really do the job any more at all. Exact search doesn't even work! Kagi's filters DO work, and the ability to black list stackoverflow scrapers cuts out a lot of the useless noise. It's at those times when Kagi earns its place.

Agreed that it's gotten old, especially if I'm traveling somewhere. Needing to cart what you needed (plus backups of course) ends up taking up a surprising amount of space.

I will say that making the switch from a tubed pump (t:slim) to a tubeless (omnipod), it's drastically cut down on the waste for pump stuff at least.
And what if Russia had been colonizing Scotland, then Wales, then half of England, only left disjointed pockets of UK residents not allowed to vote, being watched 24/7, being beaten, harassed and killed by settlers under the watch of Russian army, and then being beaten when going to the funeral of their dead, being robbed of their natural resources, having to go through checkpoints to see their family, London being half the UK capital and half the Russian capital but actually Russia says the entirety of London is, Russia bombing neighbour countries, all of this illegal and happening for 75 years and no one in the world does anything because the richest country in the world blindly supports Russia ?

Context, always.
Not even close. MS is allowing the end user alternate means of installing software. Apple is trying to rob each iOS developer of 30% of their sales.
I was just trying to be considerate to the most recent and arguably quintessential use of the phrase, with regards to ground zero and 9/11.

The point I was aiming at was the general semantic meaning of the phrase. It seemed mismatched from the meaning intended by the sentence. With startups, there are various phrases, like "get in on the ground floor/level" or "build it from the ground up" where the full semantic metaphorical meaning of the phrase maps to the meaning intended. If you said you wanted to get in at ground zero, there's a semantic mismatch, so the meaning doesn't fully apply in the context in which it's used.

I don't think it's necessarily controversial, either. Comedians use the term "bombing" for performances gone bad. If a night went particularly bad, they could call it a holocaust. They also refer to "murdering" a crowd, when sets go really well - "my bit last night was a nuclear holocaust" might work to convey great success.

I gauge the level of correctness to the various levels of meaning and metaphor, so if multiple levels don't track, or if a singular level is mismatched to the context, then I don't consider it as a very correct use of the word or phrase. It's not totally wrong, but of the many ways in which that phrase is used correctly, it's not very right, either.

Anyway - My mistake for highlighting an admittedly minor issue among language model enthusiasts. We seem to enjoy delving into language's technicalities, and LLMs are great for exploring how meanings align with a sentence's intended message. I get caught up in these things easily.
I'm quite sympathetic to the stated goal, and the technical limitations are understandable, but the fact that it sends a list of all your extensions to an extension-oriented ad network is a bit sus...

This is an example of where the West's patent system is its undoing. Lithium batteries were invented in the West and manufactured first in the West. In particular LFP which is what BYD is based on (they say their batteries should get around 25 years) hasn't been made in significant volumes in the West. That's because they were patented, and the patent was vigorously enforced.

Meanwhile China ignored the patents. They could not sell to the West but grew their volumes due to internal sales. So now they have large economies of scale and the West is 20 years behind. Or to borrow the term used in the article, "on the back foot".

The patent system has been a mess for most of my working life. 20 years might have been appropriate for the rate of technological development 100 years ago and perhaps it's appropriate for pharma now, but it's far too long for most types of engineering.

The funny thing is, AI might be the cure as apparently we aren't going to let AI inventions be patented.
Interesting, I'm curious though, once you do drop down to the ASM layer, how do you ensure that this code doesn't get overwritten by new compiler output? Or is this something you somehow include in the compile step?
Computational chemistry seems like the obvious application. I guess the existing methods that run on classical computers are accurate enough for most purposes. These methods become prohibitively expensive for large systems but modern quantum computers are no were near big enough to be useful there anyway.

Very dramatic. No actual technical arguments.

Leaving isn’t particularly expensive regardless: compare egress prices to non-Glacier S3 prices. Leaving doesn’t cost more than a couple months of staying.

It's just noise. Scaling this to other examples: if there was a school shooter inside a school, should the school be bombed? The answer is a resounding no, but with Gaza it turns into a yes.

This is why the common rhetoric given from politicians and jingoists is that all of them are guilty and that no one is innocent. Using the same example, the workers and students of that school are de facto responsible because they allowed that school shooter to enter the school.
Absolutely, neither would I (and yet I use gmail) my intention is to drop this off at github at some point (when I have implemented E2E encryption) and let people host it themselves. It's only a few lines, so it should be rather easy to audit before self-hosting it.

Andrew Johnson's drunk vice-presidential inaugural address
Whether or not a certain religion is "proven false" is generally not a productive question. But many religious people would proudly state that they would continue to hold whatever sacred belief they have even if it were proven wrong. So I think the popularity of religion does show that people want to believe false things, regardless of whether the religion is true or false or (most commonly) unfalsifiable.
