> targeting military targets who stand no chance if they segregate themselves from the populace due to the power dynamics

This is flawed rational. If you can't find any parking lot you keep driving, it doesn't allow you to double park and block someone else's car. If you are too weak to maintain your posture at war you shouldn't fight it on the backs of civilians. Your inability to execute your wishes legitimately doesn't provide you with any right to act illegitimately and inflict the cost and pain on others.

I brush and floss every day but the cost is not trivial. Saving ten minutes EVERY day for everyone who brushes would be a massive, massive success. Not to mention it would improve health for people who can't get into the habit.
Perhaps. Still, in any pool of 3000 people it's fairly reasonable to assume that one or two (or ~2950) are "fucking stupid". Because people, as a rule, are.

If I'd let my prejudice run loose, I'd even argue that militant religious groups have an above average quota of "fucking stupid" people, so odds are indeed fairly good that some of these devices would make it into the hands of someone other than the original owner.

Some would argue that "being related to someone who is fucking stupid" is not a capital offence.

You say that like it's even possible for these people to have original ideas.
Guerrilla warfare has been a reliable way for a less powerful entity to resist a more powerful one. However, it often requires the less powerful entity to hide within the general population; which results in the problem that we are seeing here.
I think its ironic for these pop-ups to frequently only offer "accept necessary" or "accept all"...
You can't stop. Look at how fucking long all the borders are (land and maritime), there's a market for it, someone will try to squeeze it into the country.

There's no possible way to guard all the borders 100% of the time, even less if there's huge profits to be made, people are smart and drug traffickers are people, they will find a way through. If you want to play a forever game of whack-a-mole then go ahead.

No, the US cannot completely stop the flow of drugs, it's not about the southern border, if that is absolutely sealed off other ways will be found to smuggle them.

I think they mean 'disrupted' in a more benign, quotidian sense. Like, changed significantly. That said, perhaps you could clarify your comment about "shitty tools that can't do what some tools could do 15 years ago"? Like what? I'd preemptively argue that Google Search has changed for market reasons, not technical ones, but I'm curious to hear if you meant something else. Objectively speaking, chatbots from 15 years ago (or 2...) were just not at all coherent. You can criticize modern LLMs all day, but they're definitely coherent.

People who say this rarely also recommend learning toki pona or Esperanto before learning a spoken language they have a practical need for. Some do, but few.

In don't think it makes sense to learn a "clean" language first. Always learn a useful language and never learn a language that has no organic utility as step 1 of learning a useful one.

Unless the person taking this advice will program MIPS devices, then go ahead.

Or, to put it more generally: corporate greed ruins everything it touches. I was a big fan of the original Lemmings games as a teenager, and installed the "free to play" app version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sadpuppy.l...) a while ago. It's a shadow of its former self! You have new "tribes" every month with "special" Lemmings you can collect (just one more way to try to get money out of your pocket, because you will never get the "full set" if you don't pay) and other such nonsense, but the level design barely changes (the levels of the original 1991 Amiga Lemmings game are more varied graphically than the levels in this app!) and it only has 3 (count'em!) songs which are played in the background. Sad...

The python problems with opentelemetry are mostly due to python being a bit of a mess. Yes, the async model is weird and that in turn makes it harder to instrument compared to something like .NET. But then the combination of libraries and environments change out from under you, you update your autoinstrumentation agent, and now the app crashes. And you find some GitHub issue saying that flask brings in this new dependency that somehow breaks something else and so now you can't instrument flask apps.

^^^ most of the above is just what I've dealt with as a maintainer in OTel, and it's maddening. FWIW that's all been finally dealt with, but python just feels like something ready to keel over at a moment's notice to me. Far more fragile a language and ecosystem than anything else.

I'm not advocating for anything. I'm just saying that it's unrealistic to expect people to just roll over for an enemy with greater conventional warfare capability.

Hiding among the civilian population is bad, but so is a situation where powerful states can oppress others without any check.

Personally, I'm not sure what a better alternative is. Which is why I asked my question.
Alright, let's take this in the context in which it's been given to us then.

-> Your task is to, with as much accuracy as possible and with the minimum loss of civilian lives as possible, target a hostile force that lives within the population and does not identify themselves. They live outside of your borders.

-> If even a single non-combatant is lost, you are a monster.

-> In the mean time, every month that passes, hundreds of rockets rain down indiscriminate destruction upon your country, an action that has cost the lives of 12 children already.

How do?

> armed guards in gentrified neighborhoods

It's interesting, isn't it? When I see armed guards, regardless of the setting, the message I get is not "you're safe", it's "this area is so dangerous that they need armed guards".

I have the same reaction (albeit to a lesser degree) when I see surveillance cameras, especially ones installed by regular people.
I request another article from the author, about "Detecting writes to /dev/null". In this case, even close() won't return an error yet the data your application has produced will be gone! Forever (a very long time)! Oh the horrors. Should we, the program authors, detect it as well? Probably not, but let's ponder it for another 10k symbols.

Or how about our users using, not a NFS, but one of those fishy Chinese flash drives that cost $0.50 but claim to have 128 TiB of storage? So many things that we can check for, as the application developers.
Windows 2000 ("NT 5") was the most usable of that era (just a bit later). It was stable, solid, and had a responsive UI.
The UNIX libcompat (a compatibility library for older UNIX functions) was integrated into Mac OS (specifically, macOS) rather than directly into Mach OS.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Mach OS refers to the Mach microkernel, which primarily focuses on low-level system functions such as task scheduling and memory management. It is not a full-fledged operating system, and thus, libraries like libcompat, which are higher-level UNIX compatibility libraries, would not be integrated directly into the Mach kernel itself.
• Mac OS (particularly macOS, formerly OS X) is a complete operating system that includes the Mach microkernel, the BSD layer, and various other components. macOS has a strong Unix heritage, and libcompat is part of the broader Unix-like environment included in macOS to support legacy Unix APIs and applications.

Thus, libcompat was integrated into macOS (or its predecessor, NeXTSTEP) as part of its Unix compatibility layer, rather than into the Mach kernel directly
But they did it during peak blockchain hype though.

> Gold Apollo founder Hsu Ching-Kuang said the pagers used in the explosion were made by a company in Europe that had the right to use the Taipei-based firm's brand, "The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it"

He also said it was strange he got paid from "Middle East". That statement of his also indicates this was not a long standing "licensing" agreement. Someone likely called up from "Europe" and asked for the license for that specific device.

Conclusion: the company in Europe is a paper fiction. The devices were made in "Israel" and the only time they may have been in Europe was to get them from Middle East to so a "European" company can ship them back.

This also means Hezbollah has an asset in its upper ranks. We can assume this since they announced before "We're gonna use pagers from now on folks" and thus prior to this Shin Bet had no reason to run a cutout in "Europe" making pagers. The entire production chain was then a fiction setup likely recently, certainly post "headsup everyone, pagers" announcement by the targeted organization.

So the chain of events is clear:

- "Did all you hear we are going to use pagers?"

- Shin Bet sets up the phony production Taiwan -> EU.

- Devices made in "Israel".

- Asset recommends make / model / seller.

- boom.

I really like the fact that the content of the conventional user content internet is becoming willfully polluted and ever more useless by the incessant influx of "ai"-garbage.

> close a file (which ironically is the poster child for RAII)

Yes, I call this "RAII is a lie" (T-shirt pending).

Closing file descriptors is univerally used to showcase RAII, but it should never be used for that.

C++ has the same problem:

In there, it is acknowledged that a manual Close() should always be provided, and used if you want guarantees.

Good that Rust at least figured it out early that it's a bad pattern!

Never use RAII in situations where the cleanup can fail!

I don't understand how anyone is shocked by businesses trying to integrate "the next big thing" into their offerings. Objectively, there are new things we can do with the recent advancements in AI. Experimentation is natural, even if those in charge are not intimately familiar with the technology. Some experiments will be useful and some less so.

How does seeing "generate image" on WordPress make you fume? Why would they implement the option to disable it? It's a perfectly sound idea. Instead of finding some stock image to use, allow users to generate one without leaving the platform. Regardless of any qualms with the technology itself and its implications, it now exists as a commercial offering. Businesses are going to try and use it to improve user experience and make more money.

Yes, sorry, that was a strawman, didn't quite realise it. On that point, I _do_ believe that there are too many humans. I'm certainly not in favour of taking any drastic measures against that, but in the long run, I think we'd all be better off if there was less of us. Seems like we have a dynamic right now that will see to that over time: demographic transition.

But my main point - which I didn't make very eloquently - is that we humans do have a tendency to keep ourselves busy no matter what, sometimes doing things that are objectively pointless, sometimes doing things to the detriment of our species. I think the majority of what I've spent my life building falls into one of those two categories, unfortunately. Most applications of generative AI I've seen certainly do. And even if we do things that are objectively beneficial, we still spend resources doing so.

I think it's cool that there's research into the magnitude of that. If you want to save money, you start by understanding what you spend your money on, to use an analogy here.
Show HN: DocsBoard – Knowledge Base for All Document Formats
Hello HN,

I’ve built DocsBoard – a platform that aims to solve the chaos of project documentation. If you’re tired of searching for relevant documents, dealing with outdated information, or struggling with onboarding new team members, this might be for you. Works with Google Docs, spreadsheets, slides, PDFs, Markdown and more.

How it works:

• Create a new board for your team’s project.

• Import your documents in the format you already have, without any conversions.

• Drag-and-drop to easily organize documents into groups and keep track of them.

• Invite your team members!

Try it out and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your feedback!

It's harder to hold them to account when their combatants aren't held to similar standards.

It's a very solid defense to say "well, if we're being attacked by a non-military force that breaks the rules, then what choice do we have".

If they were being attacked by a military force that followed the Geneva conventions it would be easier to drum up anti-Israel support internationally for an intervention.

So, sorry to say it; but it's a fair criticism to say that one side is even more flagrant of the rules: why should Israel even bother trying to abide them?
