Stupidity is when one fails to genuinely see things from some other perspective than their own.

It is not that hard to do, and does not prevent from taking a side eventually, but it helps one to realize that the distance to someone else taking a radially oposite approach is usualy not that large.

Unfortunately, this kind of mind gymnastic is rarely encouraged because it goes against the creation of stronger social circles I guess.

So, all that to say: don't give up. Cynicism is like a drug that feels right at the begining but that will damage a brain eventually.
Routinely reaching past the defined limits of the executive branch could be described as a coup. Depending on the event/circumstances, it's congress being overthrown, or the constitution, etc.

Assuming a definition of coup like "violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group" there's a reasonable case to be made.
Our club uses Spond for invites. I'm not sure what the financial side of it looks like, but it's been great for coordinating training/games/socials.
Can't remember exactly what one but I remember reading an article about some VM that added interruption checks not at block boundaries, but rather only at _backwards_ branches and call-sites, so "safe" forward jumps (if/else/break) wouldn't cost anything extra but anything that could go on "forever" had the checks.

Reserving 4gb address space oughta work on any 64bit machine with a decent OS/paging system though? I was looking into it but couldn't use it in my case however since it needs to cooperate with another VM that already hooks the PF handler (although maybe I should take another stab if there is a way to put in a hierarhcy).
They aren't unilateral. Trump is violating the law.

The problem is that the law doesn't spring off the page to enforce itself. Prior presidents haven't chosen to just ignore it to this degree.

I have just poked around and it looks like most of them are back online?

I run a tobacco related subreddit (cigars) and we are technically NSFW, presumably to stop ads running on the sub?

Anyway, the tobacco subs occasionally get this "closed for lack of moderation" message when someone from reddit is doing an investigation into something.

In our case organising private sales or trades via reddit is against their TOS, which we (mods) enforce by removing posts trying to sell or trade. However they also don't like it if someone posts whatsapp or other chat links to places where trading might happen. Last time we got that "closed for lack of moderation" message it was down to a whatsapp link that stayed up too long.

I know they do this with porn subs as well, but I'm unsure what the exact criteria for triggering it is, must be some behaviour they don't like going unmoderated.

At any rate, I would guess maybe this was a fuckup with some automated system? I don't know that they could properly "investigate" all these subs in one go?
Some of the listed subs appear to be back up. I went through some of the big ones on that list, and they seemed to be available again.
https://invite.social is another option. Free (up to a point), minimalist design, web-based so it’s cross platform, and built by a solo/bootstrapped founder buddy. 5/5 would recommend.
Considering that the US is a Crony Capitalistic country rather than a Free Market Capitalistic country we maybe need many more like Linda Khan, and in the US Congress especially. The Current Occupant of the White House is the most Crony of them all in the last 150 Years.
I don't understand people who would use kagi (or any search engine) sparringly. If you're already willing to shell out money for a replacement, why wouldn't you use it all the time?
Shenzhen is a Special Economic Zone and Hong Kong is/was a major hub for finance. People used to say, "China didn't take Hong Kong, Hong Kong took Shenzhen". It would be hard to replicate the opportunity of Deng's liberalizations being new and adjacent to a major center for finance. It would be like having Manhattan across the bay from an untapped backwater like rural Mississippi and have Mississippi declare, "anything goes, we're open for biz".

Look at the existing issues with the Rust Belt as an example. The higher cost of labor could be offset by higher worker productivity. The issues are in regulatory compliance, demands from politicians and unions. As soon as a major project is announced, the demands start flowing in. Look at what happened with Amazon's attempted fulfillment center in NYC. Look at the amazing strategic location and port infrastructure of a city like Baltimore, and ask why it cannot attract more development. There are major political obstacles which need to be tackled in every case. Even California's failed highspeed rail project should tell us something.

>Yes, he sold out after he left office and was criticized for it heavily.

No I'm fairly certain he sold out in office and then reaped the rewards upon leaving.

>Earlier he stood up to the US criticizing the second Iraq war.

Which is ultimately good but largely unrelated.

>Most of Europe, including Britain, got gas via Nordstream and its distribution network.

Most of Europe is easily divided and Russia made it worthwhile for those involved.
At the end of the day tho I believe from Russia's end it was about taking away bargaining power and influence from various eastern european countries. A pricing map for their gas showed it's wielded as a political pressuring tool. There was no capacity limit to existing pipelines nevertheless when european countries got cold feet Russia was happy to turn down the tap and blame it on north stream's shutdown despite every other avenue being wide open.

>France and The Netherlands also owned part of it but are never criticized.)

Their companies being involved should be duly criticized perhaps. But let's be honest. A head of state so blatantly doing something like that is an easy thing to notice and target. Especially when related policy decisions went well beyond north stream.
I mean on paper they're a good idea and well implemented etc. However, the main two flaws with exceptions are that one, most exceptions are not exceptional situations, and two, exceptions are too expensive for dealing with issues that aren't exceptional like that.

> 1) Merging.

It's really simple, much more than what we think at first. I explained it myself here, in section "three-way merge": https://lucasoshiro.github.io/posts-en/2022-03-12-merge-subm...

There are plenty of other explanations out there if mine isn't enough clear for you, just google "Three-way merge".

> blend two functions or whatever and it "works."

It's purely based on find changes and it doesn't check the syntax. If the commits has been merge correctly is responsibility of the programmer.

Look at this valid Python code:

if a == 1:

foo()

bar()

If a branch deletes foo() and other branch deletes bar(), it will merge to this invalid Python code:

if a == 1:

In Python we can't just leave empty blocks, like C or Java. In Python we would need to use "pass":

if a == 1: pass

So yeah, there are cases that merge doesn't work because Git operates over data, no matters too much what information they hold
Why does any regulation that affects China follow this recipe?

I'm aware of how to do most of those things in git, but that probably says more about me than git.

What I'm curious about though, since I basically entered the software developer workforce just as Git became mainstream and GitHub became popular, how would you do those things with the alternatives at the time; SVN, Mercurial, Perforce and the rest? Would it be easier or harder? Would it work better/worse in a sync/async context, without centralized servers?

There are lots of people complaining about how needlessly complicated git is, but they almost always fail to put forward some simpler alternative that can handle the same things. Is git actually accidentally complicated or purposefully complicated because the topic at hand is kind of complicated?
Does that work on anything other than openai?

In what way would that be?
As an Occam fan, I'd assume the main accomplishment is ensuring a minimum level of hardware capability for Windows 11. Anything on W11 will have a TPM so you can build around it. There's also a minimum CPU spec or whatever you can know you don't need to test under.

I'd imagine that cutting off support for 10+ year old machines and hardware would give a much bigger advantage then the revenue they get from a hardware refresh itself.
Hard to argue with that but it's a lazy article too - just a collection of opinions with no reasoning or supporting arguments.
No, we the people voted for this. This is what democracy looks like.
The article is too FUD-heavy. It talks about millions of businesses using Zyxel hardware. Later, mentioning that Censys found only 1,500 of the vulnerable models on the internet. (And no mention of how long ago the vulnerable ones were disco'ed.)

When Zyxel management was making this decision, there was also the issue of how many vulnerable models might actually get fixed. A "we spent the $$$, it did zero-ish real-world good" outcome doesn't deliver much warm & fuzzy to the bottom line.
Can AT Protocol support threads and topics?
I just love nuggets like this. I've been using VIM for 26 years and git for about 15. I never knew about adding c. I've always felt that :q! should exit with a non-zero status code, at least if no :w had been made.
This is the kind of dishonest motte-and-bailey framing that is all too common in academia, that my post was trying to highlight. There are many aspects and fields of academia that are very obviously ideologically captured, whether that's "studies" in economics and sociology that are obvious attempts to reify the modern consensus of human beings as identical, fungible, latently-liberal economic units. Or it could be well-known physicists being taken to task about how their research on cosmological inflation contributes to the cause of diversity [0].

When such things are rightly levied in criticisms of academic ideological capture, the discussion reverts to the idea that the entire industry is nothing more than "studying things", as you put it, for knowledge and knowledge alone.

>A PhD student earning $40k a year is not, in any sense, part of the elite.

You could say the same thing about a private-rank soldier, or a party secretary. The relatively low wages of one particular person is incidental to the main issue of the overall power structure, and who it serves.

> This is .. certainly something that might be happening, but it's also something that a lot of people are lying about

For the avoidance of doubt, I 100% agree that right-wing media is telling a lot of outright lies and you pointed out some good examples. However, I have seen left-leaning criticise tokenism in companies' DEI efforts. Philosophy Tube and Unlearning Economics are 2 examples off the top of my head.

> Investigations of the form "what actually happened here, who was actually responsible, what should have been done differently, and what could be done differently in the future" simply get destroyed by very loud demands for racially discriminatory violence, culminating in rioters trying to burn people alive in a hotel.

I disagree with this because I feel it misrepresents the riots this summer as a genuine expression of rage. It was not. It was organised violence by hardcore Nazis and football hooligans bussed in from Stoke to smash up a job centre in Sunderland and attempt to murder women and children.
Most programming is actually figuring out what already exists and what (and more importantly: why) the requirements are. This is best done long before a single line of code is written.

I think the author is taking a wider view of "programming" than the actual writing of code as the end product. Some of the most important work I've done is spend the time to argue that something doesn't need to be done at all.
It seems unlikely that either the current Congress or the current Supreme Court (the arbiters of what is Constitutional) will object.

Violent? I haven't heard about violence. What are you referring to?
> You shouldn’t ever need to go to the reflog unless you’re in an exceptional case

If "loosing your work and it's not in the git log" isn't an exceptional case, what exactly is a "exceptional case"?

You misunderstood what you read.

The list is not an exhaustive list of non-MAGA republicans, it is a list of non-MAGA republicans who publically opposed Trump's election even after he won the primary.

Non-MAGA republicans overall are about half the republican party.
Dating apps are nothing more than window shopping. The lowest effort, most shallow, unlimited options buffet of meat sacks to choose from.

When you have unlimited options, and a potentially better one is just a swipe away, people become disposable. Fuck or not fuck. Hot or not. Bang or pass. Where in the past someone might tolerate an insignificant quirk someone has, nowadays such a thing is often all that it takes to ghost and keep looking.

The users that get a lot of matches often put in zero effort into talking. They expect you to do all the conversation, and often act uninterested, if you ever get a reply after the match at all. Matching and never getting a reply after contact is more common than not, regardless of how much thought and time is put into the first message.

Profiles often read more like a list of demands, a quota that must be reached before you'll even be considered worthy. This is true for all the genders.

"Make me laugh" is a demand that I've seen on countless profiles. Entertain me monkey, make me laugh. So many "Make me laugh"s that I've started to wonder if most of the profiles I see are actually bot/scammer accounts, because so many of them have slight variations of the same exact profile bios. AI is only going to make that shit show worse, and I'm sure many people are already trying to wine and dine an AI profile and have no clue.

Let's also not forget about the clear "looking for a greencard" mail order bride profiles, and the weird as fuck profiles where each picture has a child as the focus of every picture, very intentionally so, in a way that I can't quantify but when you run across them, it just feels off, weird, saying something without saying something.

Dating apps are all exactly the same anymore. Same fake profiles. Same gamification of attraction that you have to pay to win or have to grind every day against those who do.

Dating apps are not there to match people. That would put them out of business. They are there to extract funds from wallets while keeping you hopeful that your perfect 10 is one more premium teir up the chain, one more swipe away, one more billing cycle in the future.
Because you can't capture the evaluation of a function as a value, or write the type of it. E.g. try to write a generic function that takes a list and a callback, and applies the callback to every element of the list. Now what happens if your callback throws a checked exception? It doesn't work and there's no way to make it work, you just have to write another overload of your function and copy/paste your code. Now what happens if your callback throws two checked exceptions? It doesn't work and there's no way to make it work, you just have to write another overload of your function and copy/paste your code. And you'll never guess what happens if your callback throws three checked exceptions!
We do R&D in the Dominican Republic. Like most nations in the USA orbit, we receive our eastern imports via the USA via transshipping.

This is also disrupting the nascent technology industries in the Caribbean and the Latin-American diaspora. For us specifically, it will increase our logistics costs by multiples and lead times by weeks.

I expect this will result in substantial schedule misses and cost overruns.

> The reason trump won is that is he authentic. He is following through on his promises. He doesn't have 20 speech writers corralling his every word to be completely neutral and say nothing at all.

I find it absolutely incredible that people believe this.

Trump LIES about everything, all the time. He just lies in all directions. He lies that the sun is blue, he lies that the sun is red, he sometimes that the sun is pink.

Then a decent chunk of the population chooses the lies they like and ignores the rest.
Math checks out:

if women use 4 criteria (face, body, money, iq) with a strict cutoff of even 55th percentile, they will reduce their like ratio to 4%. (0.45 ^ 4 =0.04)

Men are using only 2 criteria (face and body) to get to 25% like ratio: need 50th percentile on both: (0.5 ^ 2 = 0.25)
Trump Says U.S. Will Take over Gaza
Code style is one thing - formatting that is - but there's others like how features are implemented tend to change over time and with different developers as well, which is difficult to automatically test and hard to keep in line except with good code reviews, but for that to work you already need to install a culture of consistency, which also means that innovation may be stifled and developers demotivated (e.g. because the better solution requires the 100 existing solutions to be rewritten, which is too expensive or requires a whole team to be blocked until it's done).

Consistency trumps a lot of things IMO, but not everyone is on board with that... myself included, I'm guilty of breaking with my own consistency all the time.

Oh you're right, I remember something about sandbox-exec but I'm not sure if it's similar to jails.
I'm not sure we can have a productive conversation about this, but while Republicans are indeed full of shit, DEI initiatives certainly do have an effect on meritocratic selection. For example in colleges Asians are/were rejected at higher rates despite having higher academic performance because of representation goals; black doctors have lower MCAT scores/GPAs than doctors of other races; etc.

Personally, I'm all for affirmative action with criteria that aren't based on protected class. For example if you help out poor people instead of black people, you'll end up helping a lot of black people in the end, but you will also help Asian/other people that need the help, and you won't waste your resources "helping" black people who don't need it.

I mean that's the key point right? if its not getting through then the medium of delivery is not working.

Why are appointments not being delayed? There are many logistical hurdles that can be put up to get a better outcome for the _country_, but it appears they are not being used.

it seems that people are more concerned with getting fund-raising for the next election, which seems a bit premature, given that the dollar might not be the currency in 4 years time.
Even languages like Python and Javascript who are huge show a decline after 2022 which suggests ChatGPT is probably responsible. It would be better to have some other measure imo.

You're saying ergonomics aren't a good explanation? The entire point of a programming language over writing machine code boils down to ergonomics! You've got to do better than "it's just ergonomics" when your argument for a language to ban shadowing is also "just ergonomics".

The debate here is about which one truly has better ergonomics!
Any layout system that modifies the DOM currently has to be careful not to touch certain elements (like focused text fields) if possible. Preserving state means you could treat these elements like any other, rebuilding the DOM out from underneath them as you please.
Cute and quasi-unique geek toys have become somewhat of a cottage industry with the help of crowd funding.

"Why" or "what for" are questions rarely addressed. Educational value is perhaps the most plausible answer.

As an example, I suspect any real world use for this device can be easily duplicated using the smart phone that everyone already owns.
No, it's not the USPS. I said a private business to keep it a bit anonymous but if you don't believe me, here it is: http://808alohamail.com/
There's hundreds of households on a fairly small area who are not at all served by any mailman, instead they all drive down the road to this place. Three local ladies started it up because the USPS dropped the ball.

I happen to know about this because I know someone local. They also told me about their new place, also on Hawai'i, where the mail instead arrives at a UPS office. (Not USPS. UPS.)
This is pure speculation on my part but I think at some point a company's valuation became tied to how big their compute is so everybody jumped on the bandwagon.
In my experience, finding an actually good UI designer is hard.

Knowing how to make a branch is very basics of using git. If you don’t know how to do it (git checkout -b, btw) you are just outing yourself as someone who doesn’t use git or your just push to master i.e. you are only working on solo projects.

You can switch branch also with ‘git checkout’ and you just ‘git stash’ your changes.

‘git reset’ is fine to reset files, but again if you just want to ”clean” repo you can stash.

You can reset staged files again with ‘git reset’

Mo idea why you would want to checkout a random commit and the start committing from that, but you can also just ‘git reset --hard HEAD~x’ where ‘x’ is number of commits you want to go back. Hard is optional, but I assume that is what you want based on your comment.

Depends on the change. If you change different lines there will be no conflicts.

This is all basic stuff you should know if you are developing code with other people
RFK believes in things that are provably false and you seemingly believe things without evidence either. Our institutions cause obesity? Who keeps refusing protect the environment? Who refused to directly address the COVID crisis when it was starting and pedalled fake cures. Effective policy is hard to get right but the Trump admin are immeasurably worse than the alternatives.

I ran into the opposite a decade ago when I used dating sites. Many women would just be happy chatting forever through text or email to fill an emotional need and never want to meet in person (they could have been cheating, exploring, etc).

I would have a 2-week rule: If we didn't meet in person (or setup something in the future) within 2 weeks, I would move on.

This helped filter out the people that weren't interested in actually meeting.
