>No. About 20% of Americans support Hamas; 4% the October 7th attack [1]. It’s an extreme minority.

Americans are the most propagandized people on the planet, even if they supported the resistance most of them wouldn't publicly admit that. American discourse, despite it's "freedom of speech" mantra, has a history of mccarthyist silencing to shut down debate, that's why certain ideas can't always be publicly expressed or one's affiliation revealed.

>Going back to the top point: Hamas hasn’t succeeded. Gaza’s occupation looks like it will be far more draconian than it was a few years ago, with the strip separated by security cordons all controlled by Israel.

Hamas has succeeded in their primary goal which was reminding the world that they still exist[1] and they won't let any normalization happen without a Palestinian state. They successfully derailed any normalization efforts. Another victory is that, for the first time ever, people, even ordinary americans, openly recognizing them as the resistance and showing support on social media where some of those tweets receive 150-250k+ likes, which was impossible before the genocide.
In contrast to before where people always had to hide their support in order to prevent being accused with the common smears by zionists who wanted to shut down debate and suppress any information that would reveal that its the zionists who have a century long history of zionist-terrorism[2] and that the natives have a right to resist colonization without being demonized for it.

>Trump's peace plan [2] is anathema to everything Hamas fought for. All the way to recognising anexations of currently-Palestinian territory.

Trump waffles a lot to appease his donors, what his real opinion or plan is can be discovered by his actions in due time. Many israelis were disappointed by his ceasefire push and said that this deal was "forced upon israel".

Edit: the zionist brigade is quick, not even 10 seconds after posting this reply it already had a downvote lol.

I once waited 20 mins in the Walmart camping section for an associate to come and open the propane gas cylinders cabinet. I noticed other people in other aisles also waiting for locked up items.

I left and went to Target where I was able to grab all the camping supplies I wanted from the shelves and checkout. I avoid Walmart since that day, as almost everything is locked up.
Lawyers have to paid now till then.

Companies settle much faster typically to reduce some of this costs, it ends up being cheaper.

Also many of these will be resolved through their arbitration clauses that would be present in the contracts. Arbitration is much faster and usually appeal proof
> still calls them terrorists

I’m sure that if you asked most people in Europe or the US they’d would agree. I’d bet on average more strongly than before the war.

I mean Israel is deeply flawed, oppressed and is committing war crimes. Can disagree about that.

Hamas on the other hand is objectively evil and should be destroyed. Arguing about what cost exactly is worth paying for that is reasonable disagreeing with the premise itself is wrong and immoral.

> make it the 24hr (...) period relative to the current timezone

What if the event gets shared - should the dates still be relative to the timezone of the creator? Or to the most popular timezone? Or should they be different for everyone? Or something else?

What if the event is recurring and the creator travels between the occurrences, should the times change? When should the times be updated? Should all events change, or only the future events, or only the closest one?

What if a participant uses multiple devices in multiple timezones at the same time?

…etc. Perhaps there are ways to solve all these and more; my point is that in the context of calendars even adding a flag can get complex fast.
those gigabytes of memory on sub-$100 devices are usually occupied by other apps taking the same careless approach to memory, so it's very problematic
This is the really hilarious ‘engineer thinking’ vs ‘normie’ thinking difference which rears its head sometimes.

As long as we can all pretend they were thoughtful and meaningful, and someone isn’t using AI when making it (or just picking random crap off the shelf, and they removed the price tags) or using AI when reading it (aka making a big show of opening it, and then throwing them in the trash immediately after the person leaves), then we all get along. It even looks like we’re doing a ton of work/spending a ton of money to make the other person happy.

Not that anyone does any of the things I’m describing, just being hypothetical, obviously.

I suspect it will be obvious enough shortly it will go the way of the ‘popcorn bucket’ fad or the like, but for now…

This is one of those things where again, one will have to weigh the costs of both alternatives. A rebalancing ETF usually has higher costs (management fees, but possibly also internal trading costs that show up as performance beneath benchmark index), but of course, manually rebalancing also has a cost – the cost of one's time and effort!
I tried Latavel, but there were some points that made me want to drop it very fast.

I work on Windows and I chose a PHP variant (don't remember, maybe one that supports threads or async) that did not work on Windows very well. Starting up a Latavel server took minutes. Took me hours to finally find that the PHP binary itself was the root cause. It should not be that way.

Then installing Compose on Windows was horrible. I believe I had to install PHP and compose in C:\php or it just would not work. The compose "installer" did a bunch of stuff to my Windows which I did not want. Installing it manually was a pain in the ass.

All in all, the experience was exactly the same as in the 2000's (horrible).

After I setup my first Latavel project and had some question, it was really difficult to get answers. The docs are really good, but also fragmented as hell with all the approaches one could take to rendering content, depending on what you choose and how you approach it. The forums - although big - seemed dead when I stated my question.

I don't know man, my experience with Django is so much better.
It's normal for altitude to decrease while the second stage builds up to orbital velocity; the Shuttle did the same thing.

Like all rockets, the second stage has a thrust/weight ratio substantially lower than 1 on ignition, and the motor points far away from the gravity vector, so there's a bit of a race between the vehicle trying to fall down, and the rocket motor trying to accelerate it to orbital velocity. The fact that the final orbit was 100 miles exactly suggests this all went according to plan.

According to this random estimate, black market economy alone in just the US is worth ~ $2 trillion/yr. [https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/underground-economy.asp]

Roughly 11-12% of GDP.

In many countries, black+grey market is larger than the ‘white’ market. The US is notoriously ‘clean’ compared to
most (probably top 10).

Even in the US, if you suddenly stopped 10-12% of GDP we’re talking ‘great depression’ levels of economic pain.

Honestly, the only reason Crypto isn’t bigger IMO is because there is such a large and established set of folks doing laundering in the ‘normal’ system, and those work well enough there is not nearly as much demand as you’d expect.

I don't use vscode but never had this kind of problem. Does vscode try to run language servers inside the containers or something? I don't even know how that would work, to be honest. I run language servers outside of containers and it all works just fine.
We used to have asm.js for that. For various reasons wasm is a replacement for it. JS doesn't even have proper integer types, it is not a good target language.
That's virtual address space, not physical RAM. E.g. (if my math is correct) 0.0015 percent of the available space per WASM process. I think that's acceptable ;)
My email is disliked due to its brevity, turning the single clear and concise sentence of into a multi paragraph treatise might just lead to promotions, raises and bonuses which I can trickle down through the economy.

I worked as a developer for an enterprise hosting company back in 2005. I took servers out to Ashburn a couple of times.

I had visited many data centers in Michigan but this place was at a completely different level. High level of security and more cages than I had ever seen before. It was like a little town with street signs so you could find your cage. Lots of logos of famous Internet companies.

The fans were so loud my ears were ringing for hours afterward. This was before the common use of hearing protection and I have no idea how people worked in there all day.

Lol. It is pretty clear that the key point of the summary I quoted was that the consensus among economists who have studied this was that at least 60% of the decline in airfare prices can be attributed to deregulation. You didn’t need to put in all this effort to misinterpret it. (No one was adding percentages or whatever you were claiming.) Them rounding to the nearest multiple of 10 is reasonable - not rounding would be implying a higher precision than is really warranted.

If anyone is reading this thread, it illustrates a problem common in on-line discussions. Someone will make a big claim that contradicts the consensus of the experts in the fields who have studied the issue. (I have found that when discussions touch upon economics, it is virtually guaranteed, but it happens in many areas.)

Someone then points out that if the person is correct and the consensus position of the experts who have studied this issue are all wrong, the burden of proof is on them. The original poster won’t try and do this but will instead try to come up with a reason that those who devote their careers to actually studying these issues can’t be trusted or are incompetent, etc. Unfortunately, at this stage, the person is usually even more entrenched in their personal pet theory. They usually aren’t so blatant as to say “Either they are utterly incompetent or lying.”, but that is where we are.
I have never seen this product or heard the term "blue raspberry" in my life, so probably not around the world.
Except FJCVTZS is not exclusively useful to javascript. Its behaviour is that of x86 rounding, which is what the JS spec encodes. So it’s also useful for x86 emulation / compatibility in general.

> If WebAssembly gets popular enough there will probably be hardware acceleration for it.

ARM already tried that back in the days with Jazelle. Plus much of the point of WASM is that you can compile it to machine code during loading.

's.
The choice and design of algorithm can itself be an aesthetic decision. Eg, OP generated some layouts, and spotted something that wasn't to their taste; the edges frequently overlap. So, we might approach the problem like this:

1. Choose an arbitrary algorithm to lay out trees where the edges don't overlap. There's many ways to do this, it doesn't need to be legible at this step.

2. Insert additional nodes along each edge. How many nodes is a tuning parameter we'll need to play with.

3. Use a traditional force-based graph layout algorithm, one that assigns charge to the nodes so that they repel each other. Because we've given the edges some nodes, they will have charge and won't bunch up together.

4. (Optional?) Detect edge overlaps. If they exist, randomize the initial state and try again.

(Note that the algorithm I've described is O(n^2). Patience will be necessary. You can probably refine it further, I only thought about it for a few minutes. Optimizations applied to physics engines (collision detection, gravity simulation) will apply.)

I've dabbled in generative art like this, and if you're willing to do the math and programming and iterate on the design, you can definitely get something of the aesthetic you are after. Bonus, the skills are transferrable to some other kinds of programming, like property testing and graphics.

> Rebalancing is just selling the high performers and buying the low performers.

Guaranteeing mediocre performance. Not my cup a tea.
Simple: Javascript can focus on being a human-friendly programming language, while WASM can focus on being a compile target. If you've been around in the asm.js times, this conflict was a real concern.
Thanks for the context, your respect for the Tofino team certainly came through in the podcast.
Zionists are perfectly capable of subverting and terrorizing their way and murdering those who oppose them.

> If you honestly believe companies and political groups are just throwing their hands up and saying there's nothing they can do because they need to be direct and honest all the time, and they'll never find any way to appeal to contrarians so the only option is to give up, then man.

Do you think the Tokyo Rose broadcasts were some 5D chess ploy to make sure Japan lost the war faster? No, they were people who had a job doing their job. Large organisations are barely capable of getting their members to pull in the same direction.

That’s not how voting works in practice. The people I vote for do not match my views on every single topic. Just enough (weighted) that they are the better choice.

It is possible that every single candidate on the ballot is in agreement on a topic that every single non-candidate voter has the opposite view on. That doesn’t mean nobody gets elected.
Yeah but you're comparing apples and oranges.

No matter how annoying Slack can randomly be, the text chat part is light years ahead of google. You can actually use it to coordinate work, while in a google-using shop you basically must use all other features to get something remotely resembling what you can do with slack.

Ofc google offers you the drive and docs. And "AI" now.
Well yes perhaps I am confused, because if the cards strength lies in their ability to capture understanding beyond what is written in the text directly then the ability to create them via copying and pasting means that your claim that digital resources are superior to paper based ones because of this is lacking

Mozilla tried that with asmjs. Turns out javascript has pretty half-assed semantics (notably around integer types), nobody wants to expand it to a useful compilation (asmjs was mostly an optimisation for hand-written code) target, and few want to compile to text, especially javascript.

Having a proper and well defined ISA is a lot more compelling.

Not only that, but it allows WASM-only compilers and runtimes with none of the JS baggage, and thus use of WASM outside of a browser context and with significantly lower resources requirements.
Wouldn't the fact that entropy must increase mean that you can never get to the exact same state as you were before?

Consider that Heisenberg's uncertainty theorem states that we cannot know precisely the position and velocity of a particle at the same time, not even in theory. Thus, they don't have precise values even in theory. Then how could you ever return back to the precisely same state which never had a precise value to begin with?
No country wants them.
That gives a clue of where the money is and what people use more :D
(1) WASM can be blocked with regular ad-blockers (just like JS)

(2) you can't do anything in WASM that you can't also do in JS (and the performance difference is hardly noticeable either for well-optimized JS)

DRM? That's news to me, the only DRM I was aware of in the web was EME. Can you elaborate?

Or are you just using a different definition of "DRM" to the rest of us, where your definition is "binary format == DRM"?

FWIW I know plenty of people who are excited about WASM because it + WebGPU/WebGL allows them to put their (sometimes open source) games on a website. "The ones cheering WASM are people who push DRM" is patently and obviously false.

Sadly all that is true, as I've asked myself the same questions already.
The reason they lie to the point of absurdity is because media giving up any notion of impartiality and going full ideological has led to a polarization in society (or perhaps it was vice versa - in any case, it is what has happened) and this has gradually led to people believing in caricatures of the "other side" which exist in only extreme cases. E.g. - conservatives believing liberals want to have children reading gay literature and defund the police. Or liberals believing that conservatives want to completely ban immigration and turn the US into some sort of white Christian ethnostate.

Each "side" does share clips of the other sides absurdities to galvanize themselves and their rightness, while simultaneously unquestioningly believing the absurdities their side posts. It's not reverse psychology.
