It's just remnants of DEI for former slave holding states. Supposedly they are ideologically opposed to it, but as usual it turns out that only applies when convenient. Practically every conservative achieving office does so thanks to DEI giving huge advantages to rural areas over places where people actually live and business actually happens.

Gaza Health is a Government body, the Government is Hamas, and no independant figures are available due to Netanyahu-led government locking out observers and delibrately targeting journalists within.

That seems fair.
>or maybe the people with education and resources decide to volunteer and fix their own community?

The prototypical wealthy person is a small business owner or a well paid professional/executive. It's likely that they're very busy, and the prospect of them spending Wednesday afternoons volunteering at their schools is... unlikely.

>if all of the greedy, self-interested, disengaged people decide to leave, how is that not an improvement?

Conning people, being loud, bullshitting 100% of the time, taking massive risks to the point of getting locked up are not signs of intelligence. They just mean you have no clue about the consequences of your actions and you might get lucky to get away with it.

You should never do yourself masking or shifting.

The compiler will always choose the appropriate machine instructions for the target ISA, which may have dedicated bit field extraction and bit field insertion instructions that are more efficient than the equivalent sequences of masking, shifting and merging instructions.

Moreover, the compiler will handle any endianness correctly.

In networking applications, where structures created on a computer may need to be used on another computer, the communication protocol will always serialize any data to a known format and the protocol implementation will provide conversion procedures to and from the native data formats.

So the only place where one may be concerned about endianness is when writing a conversion function between a native data format and some format specified for communication or storage. In this case it is known precisely which are the endiannesses for the native CPU and for the standard storage or communication data format.

For the standard format, its specification, e.g. an Internet RFC, will specify exactly the layout of the bits. For the native data format, you do not need to know the order of the bit fields. You just assign data to the structure members and or you assign the structure members to other variables and the compiler will take care of the layout.

Pretty sure the war exists because Russia decided it wanted more land and resources.

If you want to argue otherwise, I would need you to explain how Russia has no agency and is instead a weak puppet for everyone else.

You cant have it both ways where Russia is a country that makes it own decisions, but also everything happening as a result of its actions, isn't their fault
There's a difference between,
say,
Watergate, and making and spreading memes that say FEMA will only give you $750 if your house gets destroyed.

If FEMA is violating their own policies, that's one thing, and very much should get investigated, but rumors are being spread that are just made up.
That's little consolation for the common man.
> I don't see where they outline the difference between games and books.

The difference is in who's money and how much is behind the law at the relevant points in time.
Misinformation is an actual problem, so I don't know what you expect the government to do about it.

I don't know. I do know that an incredible number of users do not understand that GitHub is NOT an official anything, and so I feel like we have an existence proof of this being a serious concern. (That said, I also can see an argument that once git allowed that to happen without a fight, or even AFAIK at least some retroactive agreement--and then further also allowed GitLab--that they don't even have an enforceable trademark anymore, at least with respect to this kind of prefix use. But like, this is a kind of oblique argument that I don't think you are already making.)

I mean, Meta’s ActivityPub integration is one-way on public profiles. I think even Facebook used to allow you to get RSS feeds of your friends’ updates in the early days. Threads’s lip-service towards AP is barely better than that.
Bluesky integrates with Mastodon better than Threads does at this point. I have bidirectional conversations with mastodon users, with notifications, using a bridge called BridgyFed. I can follow Mastodon users on Bluesky. I can’t with Threads.
The republican lead Mueller investigation sounds rather different:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mueller_report

"The Mueller report found that the Russian government "interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion" and "violated U.S. criminal law".[11][12][75] The report relayed two methods by which Russia attempted to influence the election."

"Social media campaign
The first method of Russian interference was done through the Internet Research Agency (IRA), waging "a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton".[26] The IRA also sought to "provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States"."

"The second method of Russian interference saw the Russian military intelligence agency GRU hacking into email accounts owned by volunteers and employees of the Clinton presidential campaign, including that of campaign chairman John Podesta, and also hacking into "the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC)". As a result, the GRU obtained hundreds of thousands of hacked documents, and the GRU proceeded by arranging releases of damaging hacked material via the WikiLeaks organization and also GRU's false personas "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0"."

"The investigation found there were at least 140 contacts between Trump or 18 of his associates with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries, though the contacts were insufficient to show an illegal conspiracy.["

"Ryan Goodman has examined the Mueller report's findings on collusion. He described the findings as "a series of activities that show strong evidence of collusion. Or, more precisely, it provides significant evidence that Trump Campaign associates coordinated with, cooperated with, encouraged, or gave support to the Russia/WikiLeaks election interference activities." "
Bluesky's marketing is rather annoying on my opinion. They're not defederated in practice and they probably never will be, but that's okay. People don't want a new Mastodon, they want a new Twitter after Musk fucked that up worse than ever.

Their promises of portability may ring empty but so far their lack of AI algorithm and ad feeds are what people actually come to Bluesky for

If you want federation, ActivityPub is there and ready to go. You could probably hack together a bidirectional Bluesky <-> Mastodon bridge without too much effort (requiring an account on BS to post from Mastodon) and enjoy the portability of your main account while also being able to follow your friends and such on BS.
> BlueSky's big claim is [they have] "no algorithm".

https://bsky.social/about/blog/3-30-2023-algorithmic-choice Over a year ago, a blog claiming the opposite

> But the actual BlueSky app does not implement DIDs. It's called "did-placeholder" on their github. It's a stub. It's TBD. It's not a feature, it's a feature request.

AFAIK People with did:web dids can make accounts and use bluesky

> And guess who just bought a seat on BlueSky's board with a $15M Series A round? That's right, a crypto vulture named Blockchain Capital.

And one of the first investors was Jack Dorsey. They've used libraries and concepts that are only vogue amongst those with cryptography/cryptocurrency interests. This is not new, this is always been the case.

Judging from your other comments it seems you’ve bought into the narrative that anyone who would ordinarily be protected by the laws of war is not when their presence inconveniences the IDF. I don’t think I can help you.
And I am okay with YouTube when a video makes sense, but in this case they have basically crammed a short article into a video, making it more awkward to read: slides with texts and diagrams, with some background music, and only a video demonstration in the end.
Outside of tech circles I think that’s generally true. Few people understand what it means for something to be decentralised and fewer people are idealistic enough to care if it means compromising on features.

It’s all about the user experience. See also privacy and security.
Why is it not just blocked in India? How come an American product, some of it is hosted on European servers cannot be reached in France?
So I don’t know this stuff so I’ll stochastically parrot a reply here of my understanding of what I just read.

The ML model is trained on the price spread and volume data collected with the cronjob every 5 minutes and stored in a database, and the trades with their respective data, but on previously collected data from 63 days up to 14 days earlier and then validated on the remaining later 14 days of data, apparently to not have temporal leakage which I googled and means unintentional backflow of training data which screws up the prediction. So to answer your question the model finds patterns over multiple weeks of data, to rank the best trading choices in the present moment. Then the java component executes the trade in-game with the player character.

What I personally don’t understand is if this data collection and training is rolling continually, or if he let it be trained one shot and then it’s smart enough to remain profitable. Don’t entirely understand the 49 day training, 14 day validation thing either.
Well if you do that then you get plenty of copies; just restrain your delete key finger a bit. It does risk some staleness, but only rarely.

And maybe you could write a small shell script to keep that particular file up to date?

Also the one program I've used that opens keepass files directly from dropbox servers keeps a local copy.
Dunno, this account[0] says Mastodon has 15.5m users, says it pulls from https://instances.social/ .. no clue how reliable/accurate their data is though.

I think whether it matters or not is very much your opinion. And whatever your opinion, Java was never pure OOP, in fact that was an early criticism of the language from OOP purists back in the day.

It’s still used in a lot of places and having these features available makes that a much nicer experience.

Whether I would choose it for a new project… maybe not. But we don’t always get that choice either.
A country that was aligned ideologically with USSR is an understatement. They were under occupation as a satellite state. Those people did not sign up for communism in 1945 willingly.
It causes me some dismay when the IETF lurches into politics. It's with the best of intentions and I know and like most of the authors. I just think it's both naive and counter-productive.

From time to time I have thought ISOC was shilling for FAANG lobby ideas in discussions about European legislation.

So I guess my take is: inevitable, usually unfortunate.

The lack of a clearly left wing tech bro billionaire stance is obvious, but you could imagine one being more like Warren Buffet or MacKenzie-Gates, or even Bill Gates: more nuanced than Theil, Musk, Bezos. Not anti union, not oppositional to social agenda like women's reproductive rights, housing, regulation of their industry.
>You're forgetting that Russia took Moldova from Romania

You are forgetting that Romania started building its own empire in 1918 and grabbed Moldova from Russia when Russia was incapacitated by the civil war.

>They interfered heavily with last week's referendum

The interference on the West's part was huge:
"Moldova’s presidential election and the constitutional referendum were being closely watched by Moscow, Brussels and Washington, all of which have sought to sway the outcome.

The United States and the European Union have offered economic support, including a package worth about $2 billion announced during a recent visit to Moldova by Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission."

>reasons to love Russia

Many Moldovans who at least don't mind Russia are working in Russia. In 2020-2021's elections Moldova opened 17 voting locations in Russia, but Sandu's pro-Western government opened only 2. This way Moldovan diaspora in Russia was effectively cut off from voting while Moldovan emigrants in EU had no problems. Considering that the margin was very thin (50.35% vs 49.65%) that changed the result of the referendum.

"There were more than 50 polling stations in Italy, 17 in the United States, and two in Russia (both in Moscow)." [1]

>Please stop portraying Russia as the Liberating Army when in reality it's more like the Occupying Army.

With few exceptions, after 1945 the USSR controlled the countries which participated in the Nazi's invasion. I don't think any apologies towards Nazi allies are in order.

> I forget to mention that we're still waiting for Russia to give our gold back after we sent it to them for safe keeping.

It's ironic that you are telling me this at the time when the West grabbed 300 billions of Russian foreign reserves which Russia trusted the West to keep.

bwahaha what. sad.
Close to nobody should need to understand what decentralisation means. This was/is a problem with Mastodon. When it was new it required understanding things most people didn’t want to know and arguably shouldn’t need to know.
This looks really cool! Nice
Because ORM attribute access usually trigger requests, and you must design the API so that those requests, which trigger called to the network, don't block.

Indeed. The same people from before who scoffed at the possibility of mass surveillance are the very same who pivoted immediately to a new justification of the status quo - something about national security, or it not being that bad, or it being a bit of a crazy world which we have to face, or whatever.

It's almost as if their reasoned arguments were always nothing more than poorly slapped together ad hoc justifications for whatever happens to be the norm at a given moment.

What I mean is the problem is remedied now and was likely not the big deal people thought it was. Sounds like they packaged something into the software forgetting it was under a different license and quickly relicensed it. But this thread is framing it like they burned a bridge.
there are numerous reasons and everyone has choices. I'm saying that the choices the US made were a major part of bringing about the war. It is 100% upside and the US would do it again.

I think keeping NATO out of Ukraine would have been sufficient to avoid the whole conflict. That is without getting into more exotic options.

Thanks for admitting that you flag the comments that you simply disagree with. That's very liberal, democratic and western of you.
I don't know. Maybe an expert can chime in but I think it is a hard problem because of ice etc. I think the 737Max has the problem where AoA matters more because you can get into a stall you can't get out of.

Whereas maybe before on older planes you get in a stall and you nose down to reduce AoA. You don't need a sensor to know this look at altitude etc.

So now you need perfect ten nines of reliability AoA sensors. Their use case has gone from a data point to mission critical, but the sensor is the same.
I was posing a hypothetical for people that seem to think they were never open source. They packaged a proprietary part of Bitwarden into the app and quickly relicensed it to GPL.

I don't see how you think introducing a GPL license is gonna lead to worse business practices? Unless you don't know what the license is.

Better to have no Google account at all. (Actually I have multiple, using each only for very limited, non-essential purposes.)
Bluesky has 1.43M daily active users on average and 6M monthly actives.

https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.d...

Mastodon has dropped to 800K monthly actives and has no data on daily actives which I would assume that number would be even lower.

Not a good look for Mastodon, considering that huge drop of 400K monthly users on that active users chart and did not recover even after Elon's changes to X, the majority of X users in Brazil chose Bluesky and ignored Mastodon.
The OP does not take issue with the algorithm part, but the claim of decentralization. I'm currently running my own instance of an ActivityPub server (GoToSocial), just for me, and it works like a charm. I would not know how to do the same with BlueSky, and I have tried to understand how.

Would you like to either not lie outright, or(if I am being charitable) explain yourself fully in the first place? The comment I responded to from you, was saying that the whole reason the war in Ukraine existed was because it was better for NATO and the US.

Walk that argument back, explain how you weren't nuanced enough in your original statement in the first place, or admit you're just pro Russia. I'll allow for another option I didn't enumerate, but you'll need to provide evidence for it

"TCP packet" is an absolutely correct term.

As the previous poster said, a "TCP packet" is not a "TCP segment".

A "TCP packet" is an IP packet that carries some part of the TCP byte stream, i.e. normally some part of one TCP segment.

Each "TCP packet" carries its own TCP header, so the division of the TCP segments into TCP packets is visible and significant when you look at a TCP data flow from outside, even if it does not matter internally for the processes that communicate through TCP.

There are probably much more people who care about TCP packets than about TCP segments. When you are configuring firewall rules or monitoring network traffic, you are concerned about TCP packets, almost never about TCP segments.
