The people that executed the October attacks on civilians committed murder, just as any forces that kill children are also murderers.

The people that executed those October attacks swore fealty to the Hamas of 2023 and represent the Hamas of 2023.

That Hamas is very different to the barely elected Hamas of 2006 who were then the lesser of other evils and swore blind to the people that they sought peace with Israel.

The bulk of the people in Gaza did not elect the Hamas of 2006, nor support the Hamas of 2023, nor deserve to be starved and murdered.

Somewhere in both stories lie similar questions; what actions transformed the Khmer Rouge that opposed Norodom Sihanouk in 1970 into the Khmer Rouge of 1975 more aligned with Sihanouk and prepared to murder those that ousted Sihanouk, what actions transformed the Hamas of 2006 into that of 2023. Both stories prompt asking what justifies, if anything, the slaughter of tens of thousands.
I have these! They really do glow in the dark — but it’s much easier to capture in a photo than see with the naked eye. (Dim) “green tinted moonlight” is a good description of it. Or imagine a barely charged glow in the dark object. Still, cool technology!
Iirc it turned out some 20+ year old code was relying on an undocumented/unknown behaviour of dates when they are negative to calculate cashflows on very old perpetual fixed income instruments[1]. If you have a codebase that's large enough and worked on by enough people, for every possible hack/undocumented feature you'll have at least one person who will rely on it in some way.

It cost millions, because the serialization corrupted the USD treasury curve when we wrote it to the database, which meant that even though the code was reverted quickly, for a while no derivatives (like literally no derivatives) in the whole of the trading part of a big IB could price (because essentially all derivatives were priced in dollars using some sort of discounted cash flow mechanism which relies on the USD treasury curve). No price means no risk, because how you calculate risk of a derivative is by finding the underlyers, shocking those underlyers a little bit and calculating the new price (essentially an empirical method of finding the derivative of price with respect to each of those things).

> The downside of this approach is that you would no longer be able to see whether a journal entry balances out based on the labels alone.

Yeah, well, there is this cool new invention called a "digital computer" that can help a lot with that. You don't have to keep the ledger on paper using quill and ink any more.
I've yet to see a software patent which wouldn't have been reinvented by someone else looking at the same problem. The thing with software is that the cost to experiment is extremely low compared to other fields so we can, and do, "just try it".

At this point in my career for example everything I do is basically tweaking or adapting patterns I've seen in other systems to the ones I'm working on.

I recall hearing that yes, they could, but it will wear out the airframe faster. Like all engineering projects, they are designed within constraints. Of course this is frame dependent, but it also means new airframes designed without pilots in mind are now possible.
I’d be curious to hear an anecdote about a single software patent that benefited society at large.

For example, I agree it would be very interesting and arguably valuable to have a public document describing how Amazon built S3. Unfortunately, these patents don’t describe what AWS did. They describe how some random “inventor” thought a system like that could be built (more realistically, of course, that rando likely never dreamed of any valuable application like S3).
Thank you! Looking forward to your research.

> I honestly think this is false. Americans have decided to turn their back on many issues going on outside their borders, especially Ukraine.

> Why let this threat continue to grow?

Why is it self-evident that giving Ukraine weapons decreases the 'threat' and risk of the last world war.

I though the deal was that the American and Russian elite invades countries every now and than and the rest of us just complains. Not put our neck on the line?

Noone asked me to see my kids die from radiation posioning and starvation when the US invaded Iraq. Somehow there is some phychosis ongoing where people pretend to care for Ukraine's war effort on the 'willing to die' level...

Thankfully the alleged Gaza genocide made them calm down a bit though. It was like the jingoists remembered who they cheered for.

> there were so many mummies around from Egypt that they were used as fuel in some cases

Likely, but it seems they aren’t 100% sure of that at the Encyclopædia Brittanica. https://www.britannica.com/list/7-surprising-uses-for-mummie...:

“It was claimed by author Mark Twain that mummies had been used as fuel for locomotives. In his 1869 travel book called The Innocents Abroad, Twain describes the first railroad in Egypt. Because of the lack of trees and the price of coal, Twain claims that the Egyptians used mummies instead. He wrote, “[The fuel used] for the locomotive is composed of mummies three thousand years old, purchased by the ton or by the graveyard for that purpose.””

Also, FTA: “we know the British imported mummies and bones from Egypt on an industrial scale”
Developing robust programs in C just requires a clear understanding of the language itself (and of course a good overall skill set as a programmer). I have been writing (mostly) bug-free code in C for over twenty years. My only real complaint is that it forces you to write lots of "boilerplate". Beyond that, it is a fine language for systems programming (provided you know what you are doing). I have had many more issues working with scripting languages (I'm lookin' at you, Java and Ruby!) where the bugs existed not in my program, but in the VM itself. Having said that, I do enjoy working with higher-level abstractions.
This looks great, and the editor is nice and snappy. I'm not a react guy but might have to learn...

Also, do you plan to open source the editor?

> It's always funny to see people touting the virtues of de-escalation and soft talk. What happens when that fails?

That (common approach) takes what is rationally a question of risk and turns it into a reactive question of survival. The reality is that there are many risks in life and I can't mitigate them all. I need to identify the greatest risks and mitigate those, and also I want to live my life - not prepare fearfully for danger.

So far, I've never needed martial arts, off the top of my head I don't know people who could have used it more than a few times - probably not enough, even if they knew what would happen, to spend the time learning it. It's like people who want guns for personal safety - 'what happens if you need one?' turns the question into survival; the reality is that I don't know anyone who ever would have benefitted from having a gun in private life; I don't think the risk is there (also, even in truly dangerous situations guns are rarely useful - a wild west shootout isn't a good solution).

Other people have different lives and experiences. Maybe they have more risk of situations where they need martial arts. Personally, I'd try to change my life so that I wasn't exposed to those situations but I really don't know about their lives. I guess if I was going to be incarcerated a maximum security prison, I'd want to learn something.
This is a really great, concise summary of the significance of Durable Objects and the lack of alternatives. It seemed like every six month there was a new "we help you build realtime apps" product popping up, and they were all based on Durable Objects under the hood.

PartyKit had talked before about maybe hosting workerd themselves to provide an actual alterative provider, but I assume that's off the cards now with the acquisition.
>Sometimes state-owned enterprises might be able to outperform a private structure!

But it's extremely unlikely, given how often the opposite occurs instead in historical data.
I believe that’s very common. I worked at a larger casual game studio and we had Google analytics at the time in the game client. You could easily see where people got stuck based on those and theyd often inform what we did

Real hardware handles real trade-offs. For example, there are hundreds of instructions in Z80 to support various quirks of the implementation (like the duplicate register file).

Sometimes less is more, and it can be freeing to know that your code compiles to a CPU with just a dozen or so instructions.

It’s the same reason most universities don’t teach git, UNIX, and other industry tools. Sometimes computer science is best seen in its purest form. Same with computer engineering.

After a while of course nobody remembered the naughty movie and people just used Bob & Alice because those were the names one used for this kind of thing.
Suppose I accept your statements as true (as if NATO didn't exist). I didn't claim the world has no problems, or that Russia and China won't escalate conflicts with the USA. I asked what good does it do for Americans to worry about these things? Worry and talk and earnest blog posts do nothing to change anything in the USA, much less in the Russian or Chinese regimes.

Worry and idle talk, however well-intentioned, won't help. Voting may help but probably not much -- American foreign policy and mutual defense obligations don't change much across administrations. I grew up with the Vietnam war raging, and I worried about getting drafted, but my worry didn't affect the US politicians, or the North Vietnamese. Since then I've learned that it does little good for an individual to internalize world-scale problems and suffer over things none of us individually can change.

I don't know what I could do to influence possible futures at scale, especially in Russia or China or anywhere else. I can influence my own life and well-being, and have some influence over my children and family. I have enough things to care about that I can change, I don't need to waste time and energy worrying about or debating things I can't change. That doesn't mean I don't care, but it means I accept the limits of my influence and decide not to take a mental health hit over what happens in Moscow, Beijing, or Washington.

Some people worry so much about possible catastrophes they end up on Doomsday Preppers looking ridiculous. I have better things to do, and I can't afford to build a billionaire bunker in Hawaii.

I could see that sometimes but I don't think that's usually true. People who feel threatened are in the 'fight or flight' state; their sympathetic nervous systems is activated. They are less likely to trust you and de-escalate.
With all these AI tools requiring a prompt, does it really simplify/speed up things? From the example: I have to write "add a name param to the 'greeting' function, add all types", then wait for the result to be generated, read it carefully to be sure that it does what I want, probably reiterate if the result does not match the expectation.
This seems to me more time consuming than actually do the work myself. Does anyone has examples where promoting and double checking is faster than doing it on your own? Is it faster when exploring new solutions and "unknown territory" and in this case, are the answers accurate (from what I tried so far they were far off)? In that case how do you compare it with "regular search" via Google/Bing/...? Sorry for the silly question but I'm genuinely trying to understand

Now you have to ask for something "impossible" like using two hands to do sth (implying, still needing the mobile with one of the hands and no one had three of them) if it's a scam, they may be just put it in Generative without questioning. If it's a real human, there might be a response "how should I do that with two hands? photoing with the third??" or it takes a while, because it's an unpreparable, surprising situation. So the camera will be re-put to different positions, with checks how the photo looks like and eventual re-doings, because the photo looks like s*iat.
Generative would deliver without questioning in perfect quality within a few seconds.

Just like when one writes you "just woke up. Still on bed" and you demand a photo and get one sent, showing perfectly makeupped beautiful face - "SO, WHEN EXACTLY DID YOU HAVE TIME TO PUT MAKEUP ON?" the face

> it isn't in the direction that you think its in

It is exactly in that direction; just look at the outcomes. You take the long-term standard, where white (and Asian) males get advantages, and normalize it - norms are unremarkable, the null hypothesis. Changing the norm then looks like discrimination.

They are 11, 15 and 17.

Thanks to the screen time stats from their mobile, they can reflect on the time wasted per week. This works great for the oldest ones, but not for our youngest.

My impression is that getting older is enough for them to start reflecting as we are as adults also struggling. Screentime hygiene is for us a tooic we try to address like mouth hygiene, think about it every day, but do not make a big fuss about it.
> to encrypt email to you

this part is incorrect: keys have other uses.
It's not because you sign Debian packages that you encrypt your emails. With the same key. Hence the need to have a way to say "this key is for encrypting emails with such method and such protocol".

That's a pretty low bar.

For starters what's the outside made out of if it's hollow that explains why, gravitationally, it appears not to be hollow.

All known aspects of the moon are better explained by it not being hollow. Even if it turns out to be hollow, it's currently ridiculous to believe that given the current body of knowledge.

Show HN: I made a simulation for rental investment calculations
I wanted to make a tool for doing what-if analysis around cash-flowing a property.

I would use a tool like https://www.calculator.net/rental-property-calculator.html (which is good for 99.99999% of rental calculations), but I wasn't able to easily answer questions like "what if I live in the property for the first 10 years, and then rent it out after?" "How would the cashflow look like on month 121?" "How many properties would I need to have in order to generate a yearly income needed to put a down payment on a new rental property?" I don't think I can answer the last question yet.

This is barely functional. Because this is such an unintuitive UI, I made a demo video demonstrating the scenario where the user doesn't live in the property for the first 10 years, rents it out from year 10 - year 30,and sells it at year 30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXi-gGRuj7s&feature=youtu.be

It was only a harmful monopoly if you take the Chinese communist party's word at face value, which is a pretty naive thing to do.
Yeah, I understand it wasn't possible to use a different rendering engine. I'm just curious at who all these people are (one alternative browser claimed a 250% increase in users) who care about the rendering engine but didn't care about using a non-Safari browser previously. I would think the former would be a subset of the latter, in which case there would not be a noticeable uptick in the users who are using non-Safari browsers.
The problem is that most of the reactors are so old that many critical parts are starting to get brittle due of the radiation. Replacements, if they can be replaced, are sometimes faked.
another problem is the cooling of maby reactors that are using rivers for the required water supply and those are drying out and get warmer, so the production of power is problematic in the summer, since there is an non-zero chance that the waterlevel is below of the absolute minimum the powerplamt requires.
Yes. I’d like more, but that was the most I could do. I think the minimum is 25 grand. If I get run over by a car, I do not think 25 grand will quite make up that loss to my family.
