As noted in 3) in the Shepherd's comment, 2^k has no odd digits when 2^k mod 10^n for all integer n have no odd digits as well. So many k would be filtered by checking whether 2^k mod 100 has an odd digit, then another portion of the remainder will get filtered with 2^k mod 1000, 2^k mod 10000 and so on. (EDITED: Thanks to andrewla!) All of them would be periodic, so first few steps can be made into a lookup table to filter almost every k.

Oh, it’s possible in Germany. What problems do you have in Poland?
That's one video with material from the Nova festival, and no, as you can see, the palestinian ran after them for quite some distance rather than just kill them. It is unclear whether he tried to take hostages or not.

I've also explained that this event was unorganised and spontaneous, it wasn't an organised resistance activity such as I meant above.

To me this material prompts the wish for justice, with due process and so on, but you apparently believe it excuses occupation and genocide. I don't think we'll reach common ground here, in part because you also seem to think it should be fine to go on a molly roll next to a concentration camp and not risk harm.
We have moral duties to the extent we collectively share values, which are arrived at subjectively and change with time.

In the secular world in the West, even human life in itself isn't considered sacred, as exemplified by sentiment on abortion. The moment we pop out into the world though, we assume personhood and are protected by the social contract.
Because people that make an effort of announcing these things are all about virtual signaling.

>it seems to me that there has been a huge increase in violence

So you think that there's more violence because you hear about it on the news/social media, or is it informed by actual statistics? The latter shows a slight bump during the pandemic, but is back to pre-pandemic levels.

>Now I also read about non-US citizens being detained on the border.

The two cases I've heard about both involve people with visa issues trying to cross a land border, with neither side wanting to accept. If you're traveling for a conference and don't have obvious work intentions (eg. interviews lined up) you should be fine.
Yeah, and I'm not anywhere near as distressed about it as this article implies I should be.
It boggles my mind that anybody thought gluing exterior panels to the car was a good idea. Not just trim, entire body panels. Any other vehicle has the body as part of the actual structure, but for some reason on this one they're just decorative cladding. Is there any good reason for this?

I had a long response typed up with more personal data but the short of it is that yes, I am more hesitant to visit the US than I was in the past. I was already quite hesitant due to my experiences over the years (I did my undergrad in the US) but now I feel like there is a risk of more than simply being denied entry and swiftly returned to my home country.

That's not so simple. If you reduce the battery size and therefore the range, then you need to deploy the 1 MW chargers much more densely. We already have a trouble with that.

Giving up on that treadmill after investing 3 insanely intense years consuming everything about it was the best thing I ever did. Now I write elixir (phoenix liveview), sometimes I write javascript (phoenix hooks), sometimes that javascript uses Alpine. Zero pain.

I have never felt more vindicated understanding HTTP, Hypermedia, and HATEOAS than I have in the last three years.
Some people apparently don't remember Windows 98 and how Microsoft tried to demonstrate that Internet Explorer is suddenly such an integral part of the OS that it's technically impossible to separate it.

It didn't work, they were forced to decouple it again (which was susprisingly simple), and despite the somewhat weak result for Win98 I think we can be thankful for that.

I don't want to imagine how Windows 2000 would have looked if they would have continued cementing IE6 into the frontend...
The resource usage is really a big problem (if you don't sell them). Being stateless is a blessing and curse at the same time. Reproducible but forces you to feed in all required data every time.

Simple scripts like these are enough for most projects and it is a blessing if you can execute them locally. Having a CI platform doing it automatically on push/merge/schedule is still possible and makes migrations to other platforms easier.
> Maybe, but when regulation made by activists starts touching the lives of people that don't care about the thing activists want, they may not like the idea of activists deciding for them.

That's not just any regulation, that's any act of government.

> we don't know how most people will react if suddenly something they want is not available to them because of a minority that think their expertise is above their wants.

My best guess, tbh, is apathy. That's rather why they're not activists in the first place.
Israel is a small market and English fluency is worse than much of Western Europe (imo roughly comparable to France), yet they were able to crack the US market despite both being poorer than much of Western Europe until barely a couple years ago and having similar access to American markets.

And barely 20-25 years ago, Dutch firms like Philips NV and NXP Semi were both major players in the electronics and software industry, yet squandered their lead.

The issue is European leaders in both the private and public sector just don't care for technology, are overwhelmingly from legal and non-STEM financial/consulting backgrounds. The capital flight due to the Eurozone crisis also played a role, but Israel was also heavily impacted by that as well.
Apple has many, many tools to prevent this from being a problem. To name a few:

- They can lock the API behind entitlements that must be manually requested and reviewed by Apple

- They can lock the API behind a user approval

- They can regularly prompt the user if they still wish to share notification data with the watch (same way they do to keep giving an app localisation data)

- They could enforce that the notification is sent encrypted over bluetooth, without giving access to it to the app itself - forcing its handling to be done on-device - if they're so concerned about this.

It's also worth noting that this problem is a complete non-issue for Android, and nobody seems to believe it is an issue there...

When there’s hostage situation, nations normally don’t skip straight to genocide. There should be an escalatory response. Genocide is way, way out there and most people wouldn’t advocate genocide even if it was their own family who was captured. The fact that you don’t even realize you’ve skipped past all reasonable responses and settled on the most extreme, insane response, is why I’m asking you to self reflect.

Obviously, it was horrible for the hostages. I feel bad for them and I’m glad that many have been released.

But Israel’s response shows how insecure they are, how immature and dangerous they are.

Let’s be honest. All you have to do is admit Israel is committing genocide and is wrong to do so and start advocating for more peaceful measures, and by doing so you’ll discount the neonazis. I’m being really blunt here. Because right now your position is so extreme, so unwilling to truly change, that all your doing is making people who hate Jews look correct. Is that what you want?

In light of all that, please self reflect. I’m being your friend, I apologize for how painful this conversation is for you, but you have got to learn because you’re right, the stakes really are high, you are just playing by the wrong rules.
Speaking of front end frameworks, whatever happened to Angular(JS)? It seemed to be required on every other job posting, but now things seem to only ask for React or React Native.
definitely more burning li-ion
Would love to see a ditching of not just tech in favor of homegrown options.

I admit that I was initially on the globalization bandwagon, but in hindsight it resulted in products being made in countries with the cheapest costs which led to a decrease in quality and the destruction of smaller, more local businesses.

Go to a tourist area anywhere in the world and you'll be confronted by the same businesses--Starbucks, McDonald's, Apple Store, H&M, Zara. It's the homogenization and boringification of the world.

No one uses the word diversity by itself to mean that.

Even if the writer did, it still isn't reasonable for a million readers to presume that a writer meant anything other than what they wrote, according to the consensus usage of the the words/phrases in the given context.

It only makes sense to assume the writer meant what most readers would interpret they meant, and don't move off of that assumption unless the writer issues some update or correction.

American here, and I think your stance is reasonable. Authoritarian regimes are harmful, and a boycott is one approach.
I'm skeptical that there's a significant increase in violence, though; maybe that's news amplification? Far too many Black, Indigenous, and other non-white people have been murdered here over the centuries (by the US Army, by cops, by posses, etc), and that continues apace.

Generate some of your own meshes and drop them in Blender.

https://huggingface.co/spaces/tencent/Hunyuan3D-2

The meshes are very face-rich, and unfortunately do not reduce well in any current tool [1]. A skilled Blender user can quickly generate better meshes with a small fraction of the vertices. However if you don't care about that, or if you're just using it for brainstorming starter models it can be super useful.

[1] A massive improvement in the space will be AI or algorithmic tools which can decimate models better than the current crop. Often thousands of vertices can be reduced to a fraction with no appreciable impact in quality, but current tools can't do this.

Not sure how to explain this and I don't want to imply anything about US culture cause I don't know it but it is so unimaginable to me that there were 500 shootings in one year.

Were I live we had none (zero) in the last 10 years or even more. Of course a smaller country so probably not comparable.
The Cybersecurity Ecosystem
I lived there for years as a legal resident. During Covid I got a national interest exception allowing me to return to USA from Europe while the border was closed to non-citizens. So I have reason to believe my immigration sheet is clean.

I’m still afraid to go back now. It seems like they’re simply making an example by throwing random people into weeks of detention at the border. A green card holder credibly claims he was tortured over a decade-old marijuana misdemeanor on his record.

Needless to say this perception is pretty bad for American tourism, business travel, conferences, etc.
Why does FE development have such churn? Desktop toolkits from 30 years ago work just as performantly today; what is so difficult about the browser that demands constant framework updates?
This is simply the American empire in decline. Maybe with the ascendancy of China, we'll at least get trains.

This is what people need to understand about the current US administration: there's no grand plan. There's no deep strategy. The people in charge have absolutely no idea what they're doing. I'm not even sure if people at the top even know how tariffs work, like is the idea that foreign countries pay it just propaganda? I hope so. But do they believe it? I'm actually not sure.

It's just a bunch of Ayn Rand devotees who are out to destroy the government that made their wealth possible to begin with. to try and recreate a "traditional" society like the 1950s, just without the 91% top marginal rate of taxation that made prosperity possible. It's only when neoliberalism fully took hold in the 1970s did the standard of living start to decline and the wealth gap rise, just so the very wealthy can have just a little bit more wealth.

Gutting USAID says it all. That money mostly went to US firms, so they've lost that income, and the purpose was to project US soft power. Through organizations like NATO, the US used its military to get allies to do what they want and to buy US arms. Withdrawing F16 support to Ukraine, for example, completley undermines confidence in US arms.

The rush for US tech CEOs to kiss the ring and fall in line was always going to alienate other countries. They really are going to kill the golden goose.
Games aren't manufacturing. Studios can try, but no one is going to make Elder Scrolls VI feel like ES6 except Bethesda's team, design, and tech. Especially when people doubt Bethesda can do it themselves. Silksong is not something you can outsource to China. Even decent competition can't quite nail that feel people have about The Sims.

Games also aren't zero sum either. Turns out consumers can buy more than 1 game a year.
No separation between backend and front end is hard. I’m not good at front end, and we don’t have a designer. I’m miles better on backend though and other team members are more talented than me for front end design.

As a U.S. citizen my fear of being involved in gun violence on a day-to-day basis is zero.

Basically all gun violence in America is either confined to very specific economically depressed areas, that are well-known and easy to avoid, or is between two private parties.

Yes the big news headlines are scary, yes I wish the number was zero, but the reality is that the risk is still extremely, extremely, extremely low and is not something the average person needs to even think about unless you live in one of the violence prone neighborhoods.
I don't know about you, but most of us are human. Rational or not, we do not routinely do cost-benefit analysis for each of our actions and choices.

In fact, in human matters, relying purely on logic means ignoring the fuzzy, analog decision system called instinct and gut feeling, which has served us very well historically.

Since the benefits of going to the US or not are relative, not purely right or wrong, there is no incorrect choice; gut feeling is good enough and takes much less effort.
They're the only company selling server grade ARM chips but others are rolling their own for internal use, such as Amazons Graviton line. That's Ampere's problem really, their biggest potential customers are so big that they can afford to cut out middlemen like Ampere.

I've been writing React professionally for over a decade and React from 5 years ago is obsolete. Like, literally won't build with current tools. To their credit, I think the React code itself has maintained reverse compatibility pretty well (it's not React's fault), but the build systems I was using 5 years ago have all changed and broken reverse compatibility. EDIT: Forgot about component lifecycle methods...

Even a well-maintained project like React can't escape the squalor of its ecosystem.

I don't always have this option, but usually these days I choose vanilla JS, imported with no build system, do as much as I can with Python/Django on the backend, and opt out of the JavaScript ecosystem entirely. I haven't regretted it.
