I don't like the killing by a drone (to easy for it to be misused), I am less ok with the killing of his 16-year-old son, and even less so for his daughters killing.

But... It seems he was a member of al-Qaeda, and the "Public Law 107–40 107th Congress Joint Resolution" passed by congress did authorize:

> That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force
> against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned,
> authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on
> September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to
> prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States
> by such nations, organizations or persons.

That does seem to authorize extra-judical killing in this case. I am not really happy about any of this, but since we are talking legalities, this seems to apply.

They were widely understood to not have that immunity prior to either today or 2020, depending on how you track it. Somehow, that didn't happen.

Have you considered building this as a standalone game? I wonder if you could provide ways to "zoom in" or summarize individual "dates" so that it could be played as a simulation game a la The Sims. Why did #m#12 reject #f#5 so quickly, etc.

Also (and I don't watch Love Island), another feature for a game version of this would be the post date interviews right? "Oh I couldn't believe when #f#5 said she hated Italian food! Like wow, what a turn off"

Very nice!

> So you can become more immune to next year’s colds by being exposed to many of them in present?

I can't tell if your being genuine.

Colds aren't like the flu. The flu tends to surge in a way that has a semi-predictable set of strains. The annual flu shot is largely an educated guess on which strands of the flu are going to be most common that year.

There are dozens (hundreds?) of viruses that are responsible for causing colds all over the world. Just by the nature of how viruses spread and survive in a population, viruses strains tend to stay somewhat regional. You'll build immunity to the cold viruses common in your region, but you won't "pre-build" immunity to cold viruses from other areas. Overtime, though, virus strains permeate to other areas. People work together, people travel, etc, etc, etc. That means there's almost always a new "cold virus" that you can get exposed to.

For example, if you dropped 100 people on an island and isolated them, they may all transmit cold viruses among them - but over time colds would disappear on that island. Everyone would have caught every possible cold that was brought to the island. The virus might actually hang around in the population, but people would have immunity to it and not get sick.

However, if you just started dropping random people on that island, two things would happen:

(1) Those people would likely bring new colds to the island, which everyone on the island might get

(2) The island people might give the newcomers their colds

-----

Part of the reason people get sick so often when flying is because they come into contact with a LOT of people who have exposure to different virus pools.
Yeah this too. Basically offload anything that needs more CPU/GPU.

I run into my problems.
I built Webfoundry, a precision visual Tailwind CSS editor
Hi all. Over the past 12 months I've been working on this project called Webfoundry and a friend even posted here about it a couple months ago.
It's a precision visual Tailwind CSS site builder/editor, meaning it's not a "dumbed down" drag-and-drop-based site builder, which can be very imprecise and quirky.
Instead, elements in Webfoundry are added using simple editor commands such as Create After, Create Before, Create Inside, etc. Those commands all operate relative to the currently selected element.
You can click elements to select them.

There are 2 main modalities for using Webfoundry. The first is to develop an app entirely in Webfoundry, which has untethered support for JavaScript (we're looking to add TypeScript support eventually).
The second is to only use Webfoundry as a Tailwind CSS editor. In other words, you'd still use React/Vue/etc, but you'd be copying JSX to and from Webfoundry.
For example say you have a header and you want to make changes to it. First you'd copy its JSX to Webfoundry, then you'd make the necessary changes to it visually, and finally you'd copy the JSX back to your source.
In my experience, once you get the hang of the editor, you can develop UIs up to 2x faster than by writing code (not made up, I measured it!)

The editor's source code is available for the curious minds, but for now it's proprietary: https://github.com/guiprav2/webfoundry3
We want to make it fully open source soon.

We use Intercom for in-app communications and reply quickly. You can get any help you want related to web development with Webfoundry there.
Would love to read your opinions on it!

Cheers,
Gui @ Webfoundry.app

I wouldn’t call Atom/VSCode “clones” of Sublime Text. They were clearly inspired, but are missing the minimalist interface and high performance that for me are key features of Sublime Text.

In this sense, I consider Zed to be more of in the Sublime Text genre than VSCode or Atom was.

> There's a race condition where writting data then calling close() may cause the other side to receive no data. This does NOT appoear to happen with TCP sockets, but this doesn't hurt the TCP side in any case.

This might come down to a different default for SO_LINGER for UNIX-domain sockets than for INET{,6}-domain sockets, and possibly Unix-domain sockets not having an equivalent of RST to signal the loss. IIUC, typical best practice anyway is to shut down the sending half then wait for the receiver to shut down the receiver half before closing the socket. It's been almost 20 years(!) since I've played with this, but the behavior you get by just calling close with unsent data at least used to vary by platform anyway with TCP. [1]

No, but the Spartans did send their slaves, who outnumbered Spartan warriors 7:1. Spartan women were also somewhat more independent than the women of other Greek city states. Considering Sparta was not a particularly large city-state, and if they didn't control so many other city-states and have such a large cache of slaves, they might have needed to send their women after all. (bot that it matters as we're comparing a 2,500 year old society to a modern day one...)
I mean, if Biden investigates trump and finds wrong doing and takes action, is that an impeachable offense, for improving his election choices?

Like it or not, the allegations against Biden and his son have only become more substantiated over time.

Trump should not be punished for investigating.
Yes. Hopefully the military wouldn't coup. But notably, the US President ordering them to perform a coup would be immune from prosecution, because it's an official act.
This has nothing to do with unitary executive. Immunity of the head of state derives from the concept of sovereign immunity, the government’s immunity from suit. In the U.S., it derives from the Crown’s immunity against suit.

The notion that former heads of state have some sort of immunity for official acts is also common in developed countries: https://oxcon.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law-mpeccol/law-mpe...

“Functional immunity applies to both sitting and former heads of state; however, this immunity is available to such individuals solely with respect to acts performed in their official capacity (Fox 667).”

This notion is the core of the supreme court’s holding in this case.
I think we are agreeing, directionally.

I don't have a strong opinion in either direction and wouldn't be qualified to express one. I'm a vulnerability researcher with a little bit of cryptography to me, so I tend always to err on the side of utterly skeeved out. I assume, regardless of what national standards bodies recommend, this stuff will all be run hybrid for the foreseeable future, but who knows?

I don't think anybody can easily shut down the argument that it's too early for lattice PQC to simply replace ECDLP cryptography.

Yes you are right. My bad. I edited my original comment.
So the prior textualism was just tactical?
I think that the reasoning is the same:

* sqrt(-1) = a/b

* a^2 = -1 * b^2

Then either a^2 or b^2 are negative but a square can't be negative, so contradiction and sqrt(-1) is not rational.

The main "problem" with this proof (and the original with sqrt(2)) is "how to prove that a^2 >= 0" (or that "if a^2 is even, then a is even")

The first one is easy to prove:

* a^2 = sign(a)^2 * abs(a)^2

* abs(a) >= 0 for any a

* sign(a) = 1 or -1 for any a so sign(a)^2 = 1 (either 1*1 or -1*-1)

* so a^2 >= 0

The second one may be proved:

* Assume a is even, then a=2n, then a^2=4n^2=2*(2n^2) so a is even => a^2 is even

* Assume a is odd, then a=2n+1, then a^2=4n^2+4n+1=2*(2n^2+2n)+1, then a^2 is odd

* a is either even or odd

* So the only possibility for a^2 to be even is for a to be even
I wonder how the ratio of people:stuff breaks down WRT boats and trucks. I’d expect trucks to be much more person intensive, but the vagaries of crew sizes and canal widths could throw that off I guess.
This makes a lot of sense. People are fundamentally changed by their experiences in combat zones. I'd imagine that going somewhere new afterwards allows you to be whoever you now are on your own terms, whereas going home means continually experiencing the pain of no longer fitting in to the life and loving relationship that you'd had before, with no relief in sight.

So this may surprise you but the government of the United States is naturally immune from any case where it kills you or harms you in any way.

Congress has consented to being liable because it thinks that's nice, but it withdraws consent whenever it wants. The entirety of the idea of 'suing' or 'prosecuting' the government is something that only happens with the governments consent and they regularly withdraw it if it's upsetting the them
It also reflects common practice: https://oxcon.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law-mpeccol/law-mpe... (“ 3 Functional immunity applies to both sitting and former heads of state; however, this immunity is available to such individuals solely with respect to acts performed in their official capacity (Fox 667).”)

France, for example, has prosecuted former presidents for things like bribery. But I don’t think you can prosecute a former president of France for something he told the Ministry of Justice to do.

I suspect this distinction between official and unofficial acts is also what most people assumed the law was, until Trump forced the Supreme Court to confront it under a particularly unsympathetic set of facts.
SUSE has the fixes under testing. I assume you could install them directly from OBS. I have not tried because I have no exposed system. https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-6387.html
Yes. Mercurial wasn't scalable enough but now has been made scalable enough to be used at Google for individuals.
To quote the majority opinion: "Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial." Sounds almost impossible & a pretty definitive statement.
SCOTUS didn't need to make a special POTUS-only right to keep that "evidence" out. That would be covered by attorney/client privilege, a right that is available to everyone in the American courts.

Would you be ok with mandatory draft registration for women if conscription began with only women aged 36 and above? National fertility would be unaffected, since women of that age rarely have children anyways. Then the draft would be gender-balanced and the war hawks would get more bodies for their machine. Everybody wins.

Thanks for writing this. Simple upvote is not enough, this was really great reminder how to navigate these messy topics.
My beef with code reviews is that often they lead to tremendous amounts of wasted time, that's many thousands spent in a single week sometimes for simple pull requests.

Working from 6 years, not much, and not in as many places like others, I have built the opinion that code reviews are like tests, they should be used as a tool when they are necessary, they shouldn't be the default for every change.

In best case scenarios is the person creating the pull requests that requests reviews or decides the place needs tests.

My opinion obviously applies to product software, for libraries, especially when publicly exposed you want as much discussions and tests as possible.

The 'new conquest': Why Latin American companies are racing to invest in Spain
Agreed. I mainly manage and review code at this point in my career. I find many bugs, every once in a while finding something that would have caused an outage or notable problem for users.

What I find more though is code that isn't thought through. Tech debt and code smell are real, and they affect the performance of a team. Nipping that in the bud takes quality PR reviews and time to meet with submitters around issues you find.

Knock on wood but working at the company I do now where I, along with my team, have made quality PR reviews normal.. our codebase is now enjoyable and fun to work on. I highly recommend it!

One key aspect is being “kind, not nice”. Be helpful when leaving comments in PRs, but don’t be nice for the sake of avoiding conflict.

Also if you find code reviews to be a waste of time I can reccomend one thing I do often - give warnings. I approve and give comments around things I’d like to be fixed in the future for similar PRs. I don’t hold up the merge for little things, but at the same time I won’t let the little things slide forever
