Terrorist is relative... my country was liberated from the nazis by what would then be called "terrorists".

For many people down there, they're considered freedom fighters, and israel is considered to be commiting genocide in palestine... And the sentiment is spreading, not just in lebanon.

After you get woken up by pages enough time you really start to question the monetary value of sleep. You will also miss life events such as birthdays, helping friends move, your child’s sporting events, etc.

Being on-call at these companies is equivalent to making work your first priority in life every few weeks. That is a big sacrifice.

Would it be moral to make people who work in israeli army explode even when not in uniform?
I disagree as when you have a team of 8 people understanding whether something is one day of work or 10 is a big difference.

I don’t think you need precise estimation down to the hour, but knowing if someone can do 4 things in a sprint or just 1 is really important because people have interdependencies.

I don’t think I’ve ever had arguments about estimates and it’s usually a really quick exercise of “I think this is a couple days” and others saying “ok.”
>"Can a compass and straightedge construct a line segment of any length? By Gauss’s time, mathematicians knew the surprising answer to this question.

A length is constructible exactly when it can be expressed with the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or square roots applied to integers.

[...]

Remarkably, the rudimentary tools that the ancient Greeks used to draw their geometric diagrams perfectly match the natural operations of modern-day algebra: addition (+), subtraction (–), multiplication (x), division (/) and taking square roots (√).

The reason stems from the fact that the

equations for lines and circles only use these five operations

, a perspective that Euclid couldn’t have envisioned in the prealgebra age."

Agreed. It’s classism institutionalized in MBAs. The managerial class despises low level execution and instead considers strategy to be the most important thing. And they consider workers as replaceable pawns and not partners.
> whole of English Wikipedia baked into them (IIRC it constitutes the bulk of the training data for pretty much all of them)

Not a dig on anything you are saying (because I agree that just shoving a link into an LLM and asking for a summary is a horrendous stand-in for learning), but worth correcting that wikipedia is a very small fraction (certainly under 1%) of the training corpus for LLMs these days.

B sounded nice, and it's one of the reasons that Americans (at least) would stand up for the rich. It's possibly part of "temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome." However Elon Musk completely ruined this line of logic, forever - at least for me. He said he was going to buy twitter. He was then forced to buy twitter. He then somehow came up with the 40-50 billion to buy twitter. Remember, he only had this "wealth" on paper, prior to this. Up until the minute he paid, people were saying "he only has it on paper, he can't buy it, he's going to get punished for [messing with the market or whatever]." Then the sale went through. Lots of people said he was dumb and just lost tens of billions of dollars - in fact, people still do! He "convinced" the board or shareholders of another company to cut him a check for about the same amount of money (that he only had on paper) that he bought twitter for.

this is what it read like to the average american that was paying attention to it at all. It doesn't matter if the above "isn't what really happened" - that's what was presented, in the rough order it was presented.

When you have "a billion dollars on paper", you can manipulate a large amount of perception, laws, policies - basically whatever you want. My point is, Musk was one of the only billionaires to use their wealth in the open in this way, and it eliminates the "only on paper" argument.
I know personally companies that laid off a major percentage (50% in one case) of their software engineers to replace them with cheaper foreign and visa workers. I don't know if you've tried to find a job recently, but it's as bad as it's ever been regardless of level of experience.

Don't think US citizens are sitting in luxury. Your company will fire you and replace you with cheaper replacements in an instant.
What connection do you think span has to text? To me, span is just the grouping element that defaults to display: inline. This can be used for text, but it can be used for about a million other things too. To me this looks like a fast path to a lot of docs that say “We aren’t actually putting any text in this element, but for legacy reasons it’s called Text. Version N+1 will rename it to Inline”.
>I've been predicting a "Steam of mobile" for a while now, a place to curate for those console ports or 2008-2012 style premium mobile games. I'm baffled that it looks like Epic might beat Valve to such an endeavor.

I thought somebody would make "Xfire of mobile" in the early days of smartphones but is too late now I suppose. Epic won't beat Steam at anything: not at Store, not at live service games(Valve makes better games(Counter-Strike, Dota 2, TF2, new MOBA game - Deadlock)), Epic only has Fortnite and Epic can't beat Valve at revenue, Valve overall makes more money than Epic.

It is possible that there was an explosive planted, plus some sort of thermal detonator that was triggered electronically, or even that the battery was used as a thermal detonator to detonate an explosive.

While the Note 7 exploded with quite a bit of force, they never caused injuries like these, and the Note 7 likely had much bigger battery than these pagers had.

We won't know for sure until the devices have been examined.
these days most distros lock down perf_event pretty tightly by default, making it fairly useless unless you have admin access to your machine

this is due to timing attacks you can do with detailed perf info, but also due to the constant stream of bugs found by the perf_fuzzer that took years to fix and it was easier to just lock down by default
It really depends on your commute. For me I take a 20 minute subway ride but could also choose an hour walk or a 30 minute bike ride. I definitely prefer my situation to working from home 5 days a week. But if I were driving an hour in traffic I'm sure I'd prefer to be remote.
Maybe on purpose. Most print encyclopedias included small typos and small fake articles, so they could prove plagiarism if needed. (I use that same excuse to explain all my published errors:-)
I would also add that since Apple chose to lock their software and support of various file format/data storage to their own hardware solely; they have a responsibility toward their longtime customer to provide a good long-term experience.
Otherwise, the only "solution" is to get stuck in time at a particular OS release and it doesn't work in IT for many different reasons.

There is a large difference in computing devices versus other simple objects, in that they need software and software can change which is problematic but should not be a problem for the customer/user...

In my opinion Apple is largely failing at providing a worthwhile platform, when they don't just discontinue stuff for their bottom line, most of the changes are for marketing reasons or increasing lockdown to extract more money from customers.

There is not a whole lot of useful stuff that have been added in the last 5 OS iterations but a lot of major annoyance or downgrades/roadblock/complications for usage, etc...
The devil's guide to doing your PhD
A search warrant has to specify exactly what is expected to be found and exactly where. If the police get a warrant to search your place because they believe you're manufacturing LSD and they find a dead body, that body cannot be used as evidence in prosecution.

So a drug sniffing dog alert being justification for a search, presumably they'd expect to find drugs upon opening the package. I think the same thing would apply here, they thought they found drugs, they didn't find drugs, so they can't do anything, let alone seize the property.

No problem. I know that you can use a traditional midi controller and use computer-based synthesizers, some of which support a wide variety of tuning options. I never got too much into that myself. When equal temperament is too constraining for me, which is not often, I can get what I need with the bend wheel.

I build browser automation systems with either Playwright or Chrome Extensions. The biggest issue with automating 3rd party websites is knowing when the 3rd party developer pushes changes which break the automation. The way I dealt with that is run a headless browser in the cloud which checks the behavior of the automated site periodically sending emails and sms messages when it breaks.

If you don't already have this feature for your system, I would recommend it.
Yes, and for interested parties it's probably worth elaborating that Git might be something like

class Git m where
clone :: Url -> m GitRepo
currentHead :: GitRepo -> m CommitHash

and Logging might be something like

class Logging m where
log :: String -> m ()

which is very similar to defining

data GitDict m = MkGitDict {
clone :: Url -> m GitRepo,
currentHead :: GitRepo -> m CommitHash
}

data LoggingDict m = MkLoggingDict {
log :: String -> m ()
}

class Git m where gitDict :: GitDict m
class Logging m where loggingDict :: LoggingDict m

So the "record of functions" style and the "final tagless" style are equivalent, except that the former passes operations manually and the latter passes operations implicitly. The former can be considered more cumbersome, but is more flexible.

I maintain a library to simulate input on Windows, macOS and Linux. There are a ton of quirks on all of these platforms. On Windows you can simulate text input. The text cannot start with a new line character though. It is perfectly fine if it's not the first one though. macOS also allows you to simulate text input, but the text has to be shorter than 21 characters. Linux is especially difficult with X11, multiple Wayland protocols and libei.

S/M/L is about as good as it gets. I’ve tried using story points but I think the point isn’t to have exact estimates but to figure out if 1) it’s too big for the spring and if so break it down into smaller; 2) is this someone a single person can do or it takes multiple; 3) can I do a couple of these in a single sprint (M) or it’s the only thing (L) or it’s just “5 minutes” (S and usually a day or two because nothing is 5 minutes).

I’m a fan of Taleb, but also a fan of using good maps. Note that Taleb isn’t advocating no maps at all, just that it’s stupid to use the wrong map just because it exists.

I agree that I’d rather have no estimate than a bad estimate, but it’s not like those are the only two options. I want a good estimate or at least a useful estimate over nothing or bad.

As literature I think (1) it reads like Chandler, (2) reads like a non-genre writer imitating the genre such as E.B. White in The Morning of the Day they Did It (who even scoops Rachel Carson)

https://archives.newyorker.com/newyorker/1950-02-25/flipbook...

I'd say real genre writers such as Heinlein, Asimov, and Doc Smith were always more careful how they used neologisms and didn't just drop them out rapid fire in search of affect. But you sure see that in parodic material such as Calvin and Hobbes (which would parodize Chandler and sci-fi)

My favorite part was when they immediately fact-checked the statement that US soldiers are not currently deployed in any active combat zones, which not only demonstrated the even-handedness of their fact-checking rigor but also proved that truth—not partisan media bias or running cover for the current regime—is and should always be the ultimate goal of any media fact-checking initiative.

That's a weird question. It's war. There's no morality involved. But if your question is "is it within the norms of war to strike service members when they're not in uniform", then the answer is emphatically "yes".
Yes, they are belligerents in a battle.

I am more pro-Israel in these conflicts, but you are a military target or you aren't, you don’t leave the military when you remove the uniform, only when you agree to leave the military.

This is it right here. Bodies are innately sexual always and sexuality is sacred/naughty/bad/too intense to ignore/whatever.

Hence why having any relationship with a woman is stated as a problem why others are completely confused who didn’t grow up with this repressed idea of sexuality.

I’m lucky enough to have had opportunity and encouragement to do research most of my career, and work closely with other researchers for decades.

The first job of a researcher is to understand what others have done, before attempting discovery. Failure to do that critical step means it’s not considered research. The second job is to build on the work of others. And the third job is to communicate those results to others. Discovery is the seeking of knowledge, which is education. Framing it as self-education is feeding a narrative of research as being an individual sport, but in reality research is entirely a collaborative team sport with incremental dependent results.

Yeah, I feel like the answer seems most likely to be "no one gets excited over going to the moon the nth time". With Apollo, it was something we had never done before, and I imagine a lot of people genuinely didn't know if it could be done, making it a huge achievement for humanity. Nowadays, people grow up learning that we already have done it, and "do the same thing we did in the 1960s in the 2020s" isn't an exciting enough achievement to get the public at large interested (and would make any failures even more embarrassing).
The exploit provided in the article requires PMUs, i.e. hardware events, which are privileged. The PMU itself, at least the Intel one, is full of bugs and can be used to at least DoS the machine, at most take control of it. Letting anyone access the PMU is already a high-trust event, and I take a skeptical read on exploits that require the attacker to own the machine to start.
I'm lucky in that my company closed the office far from me, and consolidated on an office about 15 minutes' drive / 25 minutes' bike ride from my house.

Now, when I weigh 30 minutes of commute versus being cooped up in the same room I was in for the whole pandemic and almost lost my mind, it's easy: office whenever I can.

That said, I'd be very loathe to _have_ to come in to the office. There are whole weeks where it just doesn't work out logistically, and it's nice to be able to work from home.
The best way to conceptualize hexagonal is as a kind of crutch to accomodate the inability of unit tests to effectively fake stuff like the db and their tendency to tightly couple to everything.
