I'm getting tired of everybody saying "supply chain, supply chain":

first, you have no information.

second, it's so non-specific, it's less informative than "they inserted exploding batteries into the supply chain" vs "a container that was unloaded was not actually from the source" which I would say isn't even supply chain, like if I leave a box of dog poop at your door, I haven't tampered with your "supply chain"

maybe this hack started with hearing that they were going to upgrade devices. maybe it this hack started with convincing them to upgrade. maybe Turkey did it. maybe ISIS did it, they hate hezbollah.

it doesn't make you sound more informed to say "supply chain", it makes you sound less.
I used Lean too earlier today :-)

I saw what each #reduce c c ... c did to explore the "palette" I had to work with, and then accidentally stumbled upon the answer that way. I also stumbled on the c (c c) c solution.

May as well include a formalized proof while we're at it:

def c (g : β → γ) (f : α → β) (x : α) : γ := g (f x)

example (h : γ → δ) (g : β → γ) (f : α → β) (x : α) :
h (g (f x)) = (c (c c) c) h g f x :=
rfl

-- Or
example :
(fun (h : γ → δ) (g : β → γ) (f : α → β) (x : α) => h (g (f x)))
= (c (c c) c) :=
rfl

And how did watching videos of Hamas beheading people on October 7th affect you? And how did watching videos from the Hezbollah attack on the children's football field, that killed a dozen children, affect you?
All good, hopefully my original question about Strawberry makes more sense now.

Really isn't though. We don't know if there was an imminent action that Israel prevented by doing this? Did Israel do this instead of blowing up apartment blocks to target individuals, in which case this might be a much more limited collateral damage action than other methods might have caused. Without knowing Israel's motives one can't make any sort of judgement not sure why you are leaping to conclusions minus any actual information.
Now that's insightful.

Tons of people who get degrees in technical fields work outside that field. There are many people who have have spent at least part of their studies or career in hard science, SWE, IT, management consulting, law or finance before switching to something else in that list to improve their work/life balance, to make more money, to find employment more easily, or simply because learning the field and cracking its puzzles is engaging work for them no matter the exact technical field it's in.
Bold of you to assume that modern web dev isn’t also a terribly unperformant, bug-ridden mess of spaghetti.
Why does this get downvoted so heavily? It’s my experience running LLM in production. At scale hallucinations are not a huge problem when you have reference material.
If it was tied to their salary they would absolutely care, but otherwise it's just one line item during a performance review that someone might or might not care about at all, because politics matter more during performance reviews.
If you paid a price for a feature thats completely missing when you could have bought a different TV for less people tend to care.

Except for oil, the Middle East produces allot of oil and has for quite some time.
Mostly because In the 1980's the mergers guidelines at the FTC were dramatically narrowed explicitly to reduce antitrust enforcement and allow consolidation. It basically kicked off the wave of Corporate Raiders like Carl Icahn that dominated the 80s financial world (Gordon Gecko was based of this model of individual). Since then we've seen consistent, steady consolidation of almost every industry.

Matt Stoller writes about this frequently, and does an incredible job highlighting everywhere it's happening and what the downstream consequences are. I'm surprised he's not more popular on HN.

Article on what I described above: https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-secret-plot-to-unleas...
Actually, I think I was mistaken.

I’ll admit that I just skimmed it but it seemed to read like a paper describing autism but with the script flipped such that it’s written from the perspective of someone with autism writing about their observations about people without autism. It appears the same upon closer reading; in the post script it calls itself a parody. (It also claims to invent the term “allism” for the purpose of the paper, which is good to know as someone who’s heard the term, presuming its innocence. I don’t think its use is intended to be particularly kind. Kind of a bummer: I like words and that’s a good one.)

> If you haven't already worked it out: allism is the condition of not
being autistic. In current psychiatric practice, it is autism rather than allism that is considered pathological. This article, up to the postscript, has been a parody of conventional psychiatry; the parody would be a serious article in a fictional world where what what we in the real world call autism is considered normal.

Anyway, I seem to have confabulated this, but I got the idea of the paper being written in some hypothetical future where DSM-2300 would kinda make more sense, hence being part of the joke. After looking for it, I found that the page actually mentions DSM-IV specifically, so I really have no clue where 2300 came from. (I do notice that the digits add up to 5 but it’s not clear whether or not that was intentional, nor why it would be written as a set of digits which sum to 5.)

All that said, I think it’s actually worth a read but it is a bit inflammatory. Indeed, that seems to be the point.
The combatant to civilian casulties in this paper explosion is probably unparalleled in the warfare history. I wish all conflicts would strive to have such a great record.
Ran Boston and sub3’ed multiple times and have to say it was worth it. But the training process is all consuming especially if you aren’t naturally talented, like running 75 miles per week, so keep things in perspective
For the displays, it both depends on your Macbook model and your connection type: https://support.apple.com/en-us/101571

I also find that the quality of the dongle/docking station matters a LOT, and I've never found one that works reliably well :( You have to keep trying different ones until you find one that works... so far the best luck I've had was with OWC docking stations, but even that isn't always reliable. It sucks, coming from PC where that's all worked fine since like... 1999.

As for the modifier keys, I don't quite understand the problem. Are you saying things like shift-click or opt-clicking no longer work? Or the OS won't detect more than one mouse button held down at the same time?

I don't know if your mouse has special drivers, but one idea is to see if maybe you can use Automator as an intermediary? e.g. have the mouse send either a special key combo that Automator can pick up (or if the driver allows you to, to run a special command), and then have Automator send fake keystrokes to the target app? There are also third-party software like https://macmousefix.com/ that might help (never tried, just a random search).
Yes yes, discount the fact he'd just finished a battle and ran over 100 miles to get there in the first place.

> He ran about 240 km (150 mi) in two days, and then ran back. He then ran the 40 km (25 mi) to the battlefield near Marathon and back to Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon (490 BC) with the word νικῶμεν (nikomen[8] "We win!"), as stated by Lucian chairete, nikomen ("hail, we are the winners")[9] and then collapsed and died.

But sure, it's the last 25 (50 given both ways) that really killed him, not the other 150 miles.

The concern over tiktok is not that Xi’s autocratic regime is surveilling you, but manipulating the algorithms in its large social media market share to foment anti-American (& anti-Israeli) sentiment.
Seems easier to install a transmitter and GPS in the supposedly receive-only device. Then it could actually track people and show where they had been. It could store up readings and only transmit while the device was in motion at around walking speed, with signal strength above Y. That means the person was probably outdoors and moving, thus probably ot being swept by bug detectors. Well maybe not any more, now that everyone is thinking that way ;).
I mostly see STOP signs at intersections. Those serve a purpose.

Where are you finding these unnecessary STOP signs?
You have zero information about the goal here. There could have been an imminent attack from from Hezbollah that this action by Israel stopped, an attack that could have caused much more collateral damage on both sides of the border than this targeted at Hezbollah op. You literally have nothing to base calling this a terrorist attack on at this point.

Related, it's also blatantly ignoring that it's the first software that even allows interoperability in its space, and was thus in huge demand by both developers and administrators.

(Edit: Other anti-systemd rant sites sometimes mention these obliquely as "upstream dependencies" and "workplace-mandated", while ignoring the fact that those people have reasons to demand those things)

But HN really doesn't need to litigate this all again.

I used to sleep on the MAX(train) in Portland on my commute. I would never do that today. Too much crazy stuff happening in Weird Portland.

Besides, the sleep you get on a train/commute is not quality sleep.

Can't you just use Wix or Wordpress or Squarespace or Medium, etc.?

Otherwise, Astro makes it easy to self-host a blog written in Markdown, and Markdown WYSIWYGs you can easily get for your operating system. There are also older generators like Hugo and Jekyll, etc., but they've fallen out of fashion.

You can also consider headless CMS systems (disclaimer: I work for one) but I think that's kinda overkill for what you need.
> I'm not sure what the rules are on reconnecting with the US if you have formally renounced citizenship. However, I'm sure a birth cert from Yeehaw, TX or wherever will go some way.

It doesn't. Once you've renounced your US citizenship you're on exactly the same footing as any other foreigner in terms of visiting or living here.

And that's assuming you're smart enough not to admit to the government that you're renouncing your US citizenship for tax purposes. If you make that mistake, you've made yourself permanently inadmissible to the United States under INA 212(a)(10)(E).
That doctrine has worked. 2006 to 2023 is the longest period of time without conflicts on this scale since before 1970. Until 2006 there were significant showdowns at most every 5 or 6 years.

The doctrine also is targeting infrastructure for the purpose of denying it to Hezbollah, which is utilizing it to support their fighting. Otherwise, per the wikipedia link on this doctrine, the doctrine has reduction of civilian casualties baked-in:

"in the first stage targets were attacked which formed an immediate threat, and in the second stage the population was evacuated for its protection, and only after the evacuation of the population were Hezbollah targets attacked more broadly."
I mean, even on HN, I'd say if there's derision, it's mostly one uttered with a yawn rather than genuine hate. And that's almost justified; while I spend a lot of my time with lots of different languages (I can't think of a single one I outright hate btw), Python is the one that pays for my things and... Well, there's not much drama there is there (now that we're lost 2->3 anyway)? It's a glue language that's easy to learn, but offers tons of depth should you want it. My primary annoyance at Python used to be the typing, but type annotations have made this less of an issue. It's a nice language and you can do almost everything with it. It's a bit boring, but I guess that's a good thing.
I mean, CIA had similar blowback in the past for vaccines:

I feel for the enterprise Java devs. Doesn’t matter how good the language becomes and what shiny new features it gets, they are forever tied to a version 20 years out of date. Working with a client right now with dozens to close to a hundred Java 8 apps still being maintained.
I've been told that the manga is dubious science fiction, I don't understand Japanese so maybe it's a translation issue, but that's doubtful, and in addition I've been told most of the footnotes are kind of nonsense.

Why is a DNS proxy needed? My assumption is that you configure DoT or DoH (which I interpret as DNS encryption) somewhere in the settings of the OS.
For tax strategies that hadn't been ruled on by court, and are ambigious based on the law as written, are they tax avoidance, evasion, or are they just untested tax strategies?
It might be more of a contemporary American thing than an 'evangelical' thing?
China is the one major power that doesn't seem to engage in extraterritorial assassinations, so by default I'm more inclined to at least trust that the Chinese state won't ever decide to activate a kill switch against me.
Besides deflecting cases, the Federal Circuit sometimes works to effectively overturn the Supreme Court. A real mask-off moment from an patent attorney years ago: https://ipwatchdog.com/2012/03/20/supreme-court-mayo-v-prome...

How long will it take the Federal Circuit to overrule this inexplicable nonsense? The novice reader may find that question to be ignorant, since the Supreme Court is the highest court of the United States. Those well acquainted with the industry know that the Supreme Court is not the final word on patentability, and while the claims at issue in this particular case are unfortunately lost, the Federal Circuit will work to moderate (and eventually overturn) this embarrassing display by the Supreme Court. This will eventually be accomplished the same as it was after the Supreme Court definitively ruled software is not patentable in Gottschalk v. Benson, and the same as the ruling in KSR v. Teleflex will be overruled. I have taken issue with Chief Judge Rader’s statements that nothing has changed in Federal Circuit jurisprudence as a result of KSR, which is not technically true. What is true, however, is that the Federal Circuit continues to refine the KSR “common sense test,” narrowing the applicability in case after case and tightening the ability for “common sense” to be used against an application. We are almost 5 years post KSR and there is still a lot of work left to be done by the Federal Circuit to finally overrule the Supreme Court’s KSR decision. It took almost 10 years to overrule Gottschalk v. Benson, so we are likely in for a decade of work to moderate the nonsense thrust upon the industry this morning.
I don't know if you've been following this conflict, but Israel's enemies don't need excuses to attack Israel. They think Israel doesn't have a right to exist, and thus see the very existence of the state of Israel as a provocation that justifies violence against Jews.
I like to sneak in a Galactus reference during system design interview rounds when I feel like I'm about to overengineer the whole thing. I haven't done many recently, but for sure if I'm doing interview rounds, I will try to sneak in some Krazam references.
Students are already using it, but if they overuse the crutch, it's their own education they lose out on...

> The most batteries included multiplatform language right now is _by far_ Kotlin and nothing else is remotely close.

Kotlin is nowhere close to Java in this comparison. For all intents, there is just one realistic IDE for Kotlin. And realistically only one build system. And the community is very small. Java, by comparison, has many IDEs to choose from, many build systems, and a very large community to answer questions.

One of the most unambiguously good things Biden did during his term is appoint the actual most aggressive antitrust individual in the modern political environment to be head of the FTC, and a similar profile in Jonathan Kanter to the DOJ.
I don't see how an attack launched by one hostile military force against combatants of another, where both forces are in declared open combat, can possibly be described as "state-sponsored terrorism".

Again: all the available reporting suggests strongly that Israel wasn't simply targeting every pager in Lebanon. These were specific pagers procured by Hezbollah for military operations, something widely reported months before this attack.
"The New York Times reported that Israel hid explosive material in the Taiwan-made Gold Apollo pagers before they were imported to Lebanon, citing American and other officials briefed on the operation. The material was implanted next to the battery with a switch that could be triggered remotely to detonate."

No but they run "re-education" internment camps for their own people (estimated up to 1.8M people) in their own country:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_internment_camps
Their strategy seems to consciously be showing everyone that they are craziest mf'ers who don't care about any consequences or collateral damage ever.

I agree with you that there some pretty serious global consequences that will come back to bite them too, but, then, they pretty intentionally don't care, that seems to be the whole deal.

I have heard Trump supporters actually suggest that a similar thing is a winning strategy for Trump too. Of course he seems to be an irrational unpredictable guy who doesn't care about the consequences in foreign policy, that's great for the USA, everyone will be scared to cross him because he's so unpredictable!
Our World in Data is quite well known https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/9-companies-from-the-yc-w19...
Exactly. Our concept of sovereign states has become outdated by advances in technology. Up until maybe 1990 even second-tier countries could make just about anything indigenously. It might be a little worse and a little more expensive, but still good enough. Today only China and the USA are fully sovereign in terms of having the capability to build the full spectrum of electronic, communications, and military equipment. (We might outsource some of that to save money but the latent capability and capital reserves are there.) Even with nuclear weapons, India, Russia, UK, and France are only partially sovereign. Other countries can barely even pretend anymore, and their freedom of action will continue to evaporate barring some drastic realignment of the geopolitical order.
what do you mean by interoperability?
Most people just can't objectively do the "Counterfactual Thinking" of what if only Java had ever existed and JavaScript never did.

Any developer who has loved JS all their lives would've also loved Java if that's what was available to them all their life. It's largely just what you're used to.

Running JS on the server side is just a mess, and has only been popular to do since NodeJS was invented. Imagine if it was always the SAME code on both client and server starting since 1995. That would've definitely been a better world by far.
Is there some great mystery here...? Starlink is a huge generational leapfrog over the other satellite/wireless internet companies and offers dramatically more bandwidth for way less cost. Seems like a no-brainer.
> Boston has some kind of mythical status among marathoners. You're _not_ really there until you've qualified for Boston. I do not know where this comes from

It's literally because BQ is a tough target time. Even if you don't run Boston it's a mark you're in the top X% (X is a bit hard to calculate). So it's a status symbol. Just like 'Ivy League' or "D1 sport".

Similarly in the UK, it's the London qualifying time known as Good For Age or the more challenging 'Championship Place'.

And it's self-fulfilling. You get the time so you chose to run because you have it which keeps the time hard for others.

The race itself is, I'm told, a pain-in-the-ass because of the logistics but also the profile - despite being net-downhill it's got a nasty hill at mile 20. Plus with the race route being pretty much "26 miles straight, then hook a right", if there's a headwind, there's a headwind for 26 miles. If there's driving rain, it's in your face for 26 miles (see 2018's race).

(As an aside, there's a few tricks for the Abbot Majors to get places [aside from just buying one of the expensive guaranteed tour company places or being an elite runner])
Nope; no having to pause execution and clean up. Miguel de Icaza (the creator of Mono) explicitly mentions this as one of Swift's key strengths over GC languages like C# during a talk about Swift at GodotCon 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzt36EGKEZo&t=7s&pp=ygURc3dp...
So, skirting the spirit of the law, instead of the letter.
The Amazon contracts specially say five days a week in office, and always have. Even through the pandemic. The work from home was always a "trust us".

So it's not constructive dismissal because they are just enforcing the already existing contracts.
It's too clever and perfect - with all the cheese, and productivity messaging trying to make you insecure and everything with a corporate contrarian appeal. Everything Krazam is just so great writing down to detail.
Surely airport security scanners scan for explosive material
No. But does China have a horrible record on human rights and abuses? Yes. Have they been ethnically cleansing the Uyghur population for years now? Yes. Not to mention bullying and threatening all neighbors across the region. Just read about the recent worries over ZMPC cranes. The CCP will and has infiltrated private companies as a vector to spy on other countries. Maybe they haven't blown up pagers like this, but they've done other things that should make anyone skeptical of buying sensitive equipment from them.
