I quit my last job in no small part because of Bazel. I hated it so much. It tortured me.

I think Bazel is the kind of really complicated language that invites clever engineers to build incomprehensible balls of spaghetti. And the tooling and docs are really underinvested in.

But I got a new job, and to my surprise I've been doing Bazel all day. And I love it. I don't really know why.

Never attribute to jealousy that which can be explained by a difference of perspective.

Jealousy can explain any criticism of anybody. That makes it an epistemic hazard; you can always fall back to it, and you can develop a habit of doing so. And then you have deafened yourself. Any substantive criticisms will be lost on you. As will any opportunity to learn from those you disagree with. Your ideas will be hot house flowers, comfortable and safe in their controlled environment, but unable to contend in the wild. Aspire to weeds.

Where this happy infix world goes wrong is precedence rules, especially where they're different between different languages.

The numerical operators, with the Boolean operators, negation, comparisons, maybe implicit type conversions as well. Maybe && as separate from &. Maybe user defined operators with different precedence to the builtin ones.

Maybe the large precedence table you have to keep in working memory to use the infix conventions is still simpler. Maybe even when there's a style guide saying to put lots of parentheses in as well. It starts to be difficult to fit a definition of simple to the observations though.

Yes I have pics of cops eating pizza. No, I will not post the faces of particular pizza eating cops, because they are still people carrying guns in my neighborhood who can probably kill and get away with it. I don't benefit from attacking specific cops.

But every time someone complains about transit delays, I can share an anecdote about three cop cars parked on the light rail tracks, totally disrupting service while they chat around a person in handcuffs. And every time someone mentions the ridiculously expensive bathroom, I can point out that it ended up costing a lot, but less than one sheriff's deputy with overtime but not counting benefits. We can popularize the understanding that cops are an expensive source of problems, even if you're not a target.
Egypt is a sovereign nation with control over their borders. It is entirely within their power to facilitate as many border crossings as they see fit. The Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing is staffed by the Egyptian Border Guard Corps. The Philadephi Corridor is demilitarized as per the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty and is controlled by the Egyptian Border Guard Corps. Egypt has chosen to cooperate with Israel on the security arrangements at the border, largely because the Egyptian government regards Israel as an ally and Hamas as a hostile power.

Agreed. Though if you read the bill, the only reason people bring up jail is that there's the requirement to submit a report about the "positive safety determination" under penalty of perjury, which only applies if you knowingly lie in the report. I think that's a lot more reasonable: it also applies if you lie in e.g. your driver's license forms.

If you merely fail to submit such a report, you're only liable for civil penalties. (see section 2606, https://legiscan.com/CA/text/SB1047/id/2919384).
why bother when there are no competitors and you make all your money from the endless google stream?
I disagree, but I appreciate your opinion regardless.

The thing is, there is a definition of Genocide and while I think what Hamas did in October was absolutely monstrous I just can’t logically conclude they committed Genocide. So anyone saying that is just ‘saying it’ if you catch my drift. But for what is happening in Gaza, I just want my Government to explain why so I can know for sure that I am mistaken about it and it isn’t genocide. The definition shows it is, but my Govt are saying that it isn’t. It just feels like a whole load of double think to me. Y’know what I mean? If there’s a definition of what it is, then why is the world seeing with their eyes it is genocide and a few powerful allies of Israel saying it isn’t.

Why does logic need to be so controversial eh? A definition is right there yet ‘opinions’ are taken more than fact in this age.

> LyX

During college, I time-tracked how long I spent on each homework for each class. I can confidently say that using LyX instead of LaTeX for my math assignments resulted in me finishing them 50% faster.

I think that most of the improvement was that the WYSIWYM reduced the cognitive load enough that I could write equation reductions inside the editor without having to write them out on paper first.

I highly, highly recommend LyX to anyone who needs to typeset math equations.

I’m a big proponent we should apply the value of a life — about $10M.

Financial crimes should be scaled so the penalties for doing $10M in damage are equivalent to 1 dead person. Do a billion in damage? You’re going away forever, the same as someone who sets off a bomb killing a hundred people.

I think we’d solve a lot of our problems if we accepted money as life-equivalent in both directions, ie, not only as a value when a wrongful death occurs.

(Belated reply re URL parsing bug)

Per https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc, you can put your URL in angle brackets to override HN's URL parser:

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_att...>

The problem with binding asterisks to URLs is that sometimes the asterisk denotes the opening or (more likely) closing of italicized text, like this:

The URL for Hacker News is https://news.ycombinator.com/

This happens relatively often - here are a few recent examples:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40391982

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40324105

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40317677

Arguably we could deal with this by binding the asterisk to the URL unless it's closing an italicized bit, but this wouldn't resolve the ambiguity completely—for example it wouldn't let you put <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_att...> inside italics—so it's probably better not to chase the corner cases too hard. The angle bracket notation works, but only if people know about it of course!
Sorry, did you deliberately skip over a bunch of comments to read mine or something? It feels like you missed some context. The person I was replying to was saying that ScarJo should be happy and grateful that the OpenAI voice was chosen to sound like hers, and that she should feel honored. With that context in mind, my question was whether she should also feel honored when she’s chosen as the subject for somebody’s Deep Fake porn — something she similarly has no control over and is only selected for due to her appearance/voice. I brought up Deep Fake porn specifically because it’s something she has been a victim of in the past.

> Navigate to the Payouts section of your Balances page

I have no "method" filter on that page, only "date", "amount" and "status". Also they talk about 2 business days payments as default but in the settings you can only choose between automatic every day / week / month.

As someone that has built and operated large multipractice and acute care facilities some of the most vicious fights I've had with medical entities and boards is about changing hardware back to the older brass/copper which is inherently antibacterial and only needs cleaning with soap/water to self disinfect versus stainless steel which needs cleaning with bleach and can foster or even lead to the creation of resistant and other problematic bacteria. The objections were mostly about the visual appearance. I am not sure I see the advantage to this new material over the good old brass/copper. There is a perceived cost premium to it but it isn't meaningful in practice. This paper alleges this new process is cheaper but I would be incredibly dubious of that. At ClearHealth we were successful in substantially reducing hospital acquired infection (HAI) rates at managed facilities to industry best in part because of our "reversion" to copper/brass hardware.

One of the most obvious signs you are in a well managed health system is seeing copper/brassy touch surfaces instead of stainless.

My most robust desktop application has a single exception handler at the event loop that puts the exception message in a messagebox. Try and save your file to a network location that doesn't exist anymore? Click OK and try again.

I think we need to be very accurate here.

What you said: "It is public info that Israel is fine with killing up to 15-20 civilians for every lowest-ranked Hamas member."

Let's look at the quote from your article: "In an unprecedented move, according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any “collateral damage” during assassinations of low-ranking militants."

There are a few problems here:

- This is not sourced and we shouldn't treat it as fact. If other publications you read repeated that it doesn't change this. It's also not clear for how long this policy was in place if it was.

- This is a question of proportionality in the laws of war sense of the word. I.e. what collateral damage is acceptable when attacking an enemy combatant. If that statement you refer to is factual, which we don't know, it means that strikes against combatants are approved up this threshold.

- It's almost certainly not reflecting the total civilian to combatant ratio. It just says that in certain circumstances a combatant was targeted even if there are civilians present. That's something that happens in all wars. We don't have any information on the totality of strikes and which strikes met this exact threshold. I'm not sure what numbers other western armies use. The quote refers compares with previous situations which were not an outright war (and show that at least in the past Israel was a lot more careful about collateral damage).

Anyways, if you were more precise in your wording I wouldn't take issue, but I think the casual reader can read something different into what you've said. We can debate the morality of any particular collateral damage under conditions of dense urban environment, human shields, major war etc. but this is something that happens in all wars likely with somewhat different numbers.

The King's Quest game from 2015 started out excellent with some great puzzles and felt like a modern King's Quest. Unfortunately the later chapters were much lighter in terms of puzzles.

For Quest of Glory, I'd recommend Hero U: Rogue to Redemption from the Coles, it has a similar feeling and is a load of fun. For me it's the best quest for glory clone since (better than Mage Initiation and Heroine's Quest).

There's been other games by Sierra alumni but they just don't have the same level of polish.

> what Hamas did in October

...is not all of what Hamas is responsible for, nor a limited statement of its goals or desires. Nor frankly does it even reflect the limits of what non-palestinians like you are calling for. All the kids in NYC chanting "From the River to the Sea" are embracing a genocidal frame (that the expulsion of an existing population from its home is an OK thing to do). And... you don't really care, and choose to excuse that while you condemn the other side.

And so you (yes, you personally) are making things worse and not better. Because when Hamas or whoever finally gets to the line with an army capable of marching across it, they'll think they have your support.

Like I said, there will be no peace here. And the reason is opinions like yours that choose to excuse one evil while you rail against another.

This is either not true or misleading. Palestinians can't move without Israeli consent. It doesn't matter that what the egyptians have chosen voluntarily (they haven't), when every other path in and out of Gaza is controlled by Israel and subject to force and threat of death. For any other territory or nation that would be considered a threat of war.

>Under the Agreed Principles for Rafah Crossing, part of the Agreement on Movement and Access (AMA) of 15 November 2005, EUBAM was responsible for monitoring the Border Crossing. The agreement ensured Israel authority to dispute entrance by any person.[14]

This was in 2005, before Hamas. Now if you can't get to Gaza from the sea, because of Israel. Or from Egypt, because of Israel. Or from Israel itself...

Again, any territory or nation would consider something like this as an act of war, or if we don't see them as nation then apartheid. But no, the Gaza strip was completely free otherwise I guess?
