If you isolate the statement and offer 0 charity then it is, but from the context and the following sentence it's clear that he a) either doesnt know exactly when the Mandate began or b) did simply mean Palestine but confused time periods which becomes apparent by the following sentence: "That all changed once the ideology that the land belonged to Jews began to make rounds following the conclusion of WW2...". So I think my interpretation is fair and charitable based on a holistic reading.

I'm not sure that's true, and I don't see any obvious reasons why that would be the case. Do you have a source to back that up?

Of course we need roads. But the question is how many and how big they need to be.

Also the news here is that DARPA is interested in this, not that oysters protect shorelines – this has been known for some time. Thinking about climate change through the (slightly more practical) lens of national defense is a smart approach, perhaps it will bypass a lot of the B.S. involved in the discussion.
Or Bertolt Brecht, first half of the 20th century:

I find that it sloppily goes back and forth between old and new methods, and as your LLM spaghetti code grows it becomes incapable of precision adding functions without breaking existing logic. All those tech demos of it instantly creating a whole app with one or a few prompts are junk. If you don't know what you're doing then as you keep adding features it WILL constantly switch up the way you make api calls(here's a file with 3 native fetch functions, let's install and use axios for no reason),
the way you handle state, change your css library, etc.

{/* rest of your functions here*} - DELETED

After a while it's only safe for doing tedious things like loops and switches.

Perhaps the issue isn't poor customer service, but a garbage importation problem. The staff and management don't really expect a murder to happen at a train station.

You import the worst humanity has to offer, you make your bed in it. Meanwhile letting hundreds of thousands of actually legit white collar workers not obtain residency on time.
Ultimately it becomes just as silly as any microbenchmarks. Most people don’t care that they can do 100G line rate. But the superior QoS implementations available for Linux make a real performance difference for many people. For example, as a typical gateway, Openwrt will perform better than pfsense simply because of cake. I am not Netflix, I do not have their problems and very few do.
Nevermind their competitors doing fine with Linux.
Prior to today the only landings you've seen are Falcon 9, which has to do a "hoverslam" because it can't throttle low enough to actually hover.

Even just one engine in minimum thrust would make the rocket go up when empty.. so the computer lights the engine at the precise right moment so it will have 0 velocity at 0 altitude, then it cuts off the engine. "Hoverslam".

The Starship booster is different, it can actually hover.

It's probably worth reiterating just how big this leak/data breach is:

1TB of files were extracted by the hackers, including source code for at least Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black 2/White 2. Given the other resources posted here (early sprite designs, level editing tools, pitch documents, etc), it's likely that we now also have source code for generations 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in general.

What's more, the hackers have confirmed that source code for Pokemon: Legends Z-A (a game that doesn't even have a proper release date yet) and for the generation 10 games (which haven't even been ANNOUNCED yet) are included in some form. So we could have the full source (including version control history) for games that aren't even 50% complete and that aren't meant to be out for at least another year or two.

In addition to this, we also have their plans for the anime and all other adaptations (film, TV, etc) for the next year or so, original quality versions of the artwork for pretty much everything, and model sheets for every Pokemon and character that ever appeared in the anime (all 1000+ of them).

We also have all manner of cut stories and lore for the games, info on multiple cancelled projects both related and unrelated to Pokemon, full transcripts of basically every major development meeting the company had, information on the Switch 2 and (unfortunately) information on pretty much every employee at the company.

It's like if Google or Facebook got hacked, and suddenly we got the source code for Google Search, Gmail, Maps, Docs and YouTube all at once, plus a full breakdown of everything they said in company meetings while designing said products.
For things like that, they could build special versions of the star ship which remain in orbit as the housing. They would need no flaps, no tiles, just the 6 engines and the fuel tank. The body of the starship itself would be the telescopes tube.
More water in orbit sounds like a good idea to me
Can it even be blocked completely? Every layer of material geometrically reduces the proportion of rays going through. Or am I wrong about that?
Trade quotes include opportunity cost. Driving to your house and doing the 30 minute job could easily eat 1/4 or more of their daily billable hours depending on travel time and schedule inefficiency. Opportunity costs can vary widely depending on lots of factors,

The other issue was in most jurisdictions homeowners get exceptions on licensure requirements for small jobs done in their own home, a pro has to cover this cost. Also I’m guessing you didn’t need to pull a permit for the low voltage line, very possible one was not required but not necessarily.

You have an idea for a food delivery app, right? If you’re looking for a co-founder, what else are you bringing to the table?

It’s practically a meme for tech people to have a friend bring them an idea, want them to build it (ie do all the work), but only get half the reward. So again, what do you have other than the idea? The food delivery market is very crowded and you’d be up against billion-dollar competitors. How will you overcome that?
Robert Zubrin's Mars Direct would have got "flags and footprints" on Mars without needing something like Starship. He worked on a version of SLS in 1989 in Martin Marietta that would have cost $1B and been ready in the second half of the 90s and would be retiring soon after many successful flight to Mars (and to the Moon), but instead we got SLS and Orion so we need Starship to get anything done.
The FAA already has competent leadership and staff. They don't have the budget to handle the increasing number of tasks they have been given to manage.

The FAA manages more flights and space launch operations than it did in the 1980s, when it had a budget more than quadruple the size.

To put it bluntly: you get what you pay for.
(Not directed at the parent comment but the thread in general)

I don't know why people are more interested in labeling it than explaining it. (Although admittedly, they go side by side.)

Every grammatical aspect of "past time with -miş" (which is how I learned it) is the same as the other one, "past time with -di". As in, I cannot think of a sentence where replacing one suffix with the other would result in a syntax error, or any semantic difference other than certainty.

A point of confusion might be verbs made into adjectives using -miş, although I'm having a hard time coming up with many examples where there's an ambiguity between the adjective and the "tense". Doesn't help that the assertive(?) case is without suffix, so "pişmiş" might mean "[it is] [a] cooked [one]" or "[Apparently it was] cooked".

Another point of parallelism between the two past "tenses" is that it's perfectly valid to answer a question in one with the other. (Or is this a general language or tense thing? Hmm.)
Sorry what does this have to do with the linked article?
Hardly, the FAA is handing permits out the instant the mandated waiting time is up. They couldn't go faster without a literal act of congress.
> Once we await that callback to resolve, then the buffered data from before that point is known to be flushed.

This is not true IME. Just more likely.

> If I wait for finish, a background “thread” can extend the process lifetime by continuing to log.

Can you not address this by calling .end() on the stream?

https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#writableendchunk-encoding...

> Our rule: if you want the process to wait for your async work to complete, then `await` it.

In general I very much agree. In this specific case, though, the awaits are just buying you a bit more time to race the buffer which is why they appear to help. The "flush" will not wait for completion before exiting the process.

Maybe also worth keeping in mind that even if this would be working, stuff like this has historically changed breakingly a few times between major Node releases. If you're relying on unspecified behavior you're obviously in darker waters.
I mean, doesn't that prove the parents point kind of? Americans tolerate/enable a lot of BS. You could argue there are entire industries built around that (most tend to be multilevel marketing).

I suffer from RSI and definitely do not move enough when I am invested in some piece of work (personal or professional). I recently installed workrave[0] and have noticed marked improvements in just a couple weeks of actually taking breaks when it indicates.

I take a 25 second break every 5 minutes, and use this time to do one hand and wrist exercise (I keep some resistance bands and hand exercise balls at the desk). I take a 5 minute break every 25 minutes. I will either do some stretches, or a quick chore (e.g. vacuum one room).

Germans are generally quite precise, which can be both good and bad. It can mean that things are done correctly, but it can also mean that people waste endless time obsessing over how to exactly implement every minute detail of a rule.

Just to give you an example of the latter: a Vietnamese-German woman (a German citizen who speaks German natively) was recently in the news because the local authorities have refused to issue her baby a birth certificate for over 6 months.[0] When she went to get a birth certificate, the authorities told her that her last name, Le Nguyen - which already appears on all of her German documents - does not meet their standards. They refuse to issue a birth certificate for her baby until she changes her last name to something the German regulations allow.

To make the situation even more absurd, the problem is that the German regulations state that double family names do not exist in Vietnamese (surprise: they do).[1] If the mother had a French double name, it would be no problem.

The problem is not even the baby's last name - it has the father's last name. The problem is that the birth certificate has to list the mother and father, and the authorities refuse to write the mother's name.

Instead of just giving the mother a bit of leeway and issuing a birth certificate, the authorities insist on inflexibly following some completely incomprehensible interpretation of the regulations. Suddenly, after thirty-something years of living in Germany, this lady has to suddenly change her last name, and until she does that, her baby - a German citizen - has no official documentation and cannot receive any government benefits.

Repeat this daily across many aspects of daily life, and you can see how it would become a problem.

You can make this same mistake in PHP blocking operations with 1 worker process in mod_php, php-fpm, or handling sockets directly. The fix is pretty standard: run multiple processes, threads, or use non-blocking operations.

The most common PHP setups are simply running multiple processes behind a httpd daemon, so this problem is less frequently encountered. But it's still lurking at a certain concurrency level.
These contradictions (?) may be rooted in the reader’s assumptions about the world: the writer says A and B, but to the reader B implies (not A) because of their world view. In short they might not be actual contradictions.

This might seem very vague but a discussion on something so first-person as the mind is ripe for that kind of thing.

Which is resolved with dialogue. If the contradictions are brought up.

Reproducing sections is useful in academic publishing. I saw it while reading 100s of papers during my PhD.

(1) If you are reading your entrypoint into an area of research, or a group, it is useful context on first encounter

(2) If you are not, then you can easily skip it

(3) Citing, instead of reproducing sections like background work, means you have to go look up other papers, meaning a paper can no longer stand on its own.

Self-plagiarism is an opinion among a subset of academics, not something widely discussed or debated. Are there bad apples, sure. Is there a systemic issue, I don't think so.

I don't think that has much to do with it. Google's problem with Termux is that it downloads and executes native code. Also, you're phrasing that like refusing to acknowledge a megacorporation's version of the truth is a bad thing.

I'm confused because isn't the bitwise version the inverted logic? If the LSB is 1 then it is an odd value, which should be zero, yet that is shifted to become 32. The original modulus is for an even value becoming 32. Shouldn't the original code or compiler invert it first? I'd expect

let shift = ((~(i >> 5) & 1) << 5);

EDIT:
The compiler uses "vpandn" with the conditional version and "vpand" with the bitwise version. The difference is it includes a bitwise logical NOT operation on the first source operand. It looks like the compiler and I are correct, the author's bitwise version is inverted, and the incorrect code was merged in the author's commit. Also, I think this could be reduced to just (~i & 32).
