> Have you read the Bible? It's shockingly different from what people believe is written there. It is a post-apocalyptic survival guide, as well as a collection of human stories and ideas that might date back hundreds of thousands of years.

You must mean hundreds or thousands, right? Modern homo-sapiens are not hundreds of thousands of years old.

> Have you read the Quran? Reading it is essential to understanding Muslims and their faith. It is first and foremost an anti-christian book, and the faith is foremost anti-christian. Just as christendom at one time was foremost anti-pagan.

I've only read parts of the Quran in translation, and I wouldn't say that I understand it that well. It's not organized in a narrative structure like the bible, and there are a lot of parts that are impossible to understand without outside knowledge, like a surah that condemns Abu Lahab but doesn't explain who he was [1]. The Quran is not really the sort of book that you can just read on its own without guidance and expect to understand.

So, with the preface that you should take what I have to say about the Quran with a grain of salt, I'm not sure how you could take away that it's primarily an anti-Christian text. Yes, it criticizes Christians and Jews a lot, but it also has good things to say about them. For example:

"Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve." [2]

The main villains of the Quran are polytheists (like Abu Lahab). It talks about them a lot more and never has anything good to say [3]. By contrast, the New Testament barely even mentions polytheists or pagans – most of its criticism is directed against Jews.

Muslims traditionally believe that Jesus was the messiah, that he was born of a virgin, that he performed miracles, and that he's going to return and rule the world in a future era [4]. It's also said that Muhammad was identified as a prophet by a Christian monk named Bahira [5]. Early on, Orthodox Christians identified Islam as a heretical form of Christianity, not a different religion [6]. These do not seem like traits of a religion that is foremost anti-Christian.

You do not have (or write programs for) filesystems that contain loads of ancient mp3 and wma files.

It is the bane of my existence, but many programs support all the Latin-1 and other file name encodings that are incompatible with UTF-8, so users expect _your_ programs to work too.

Now if you want me to actually _display_ them all correctly, tough turds...
there's a difference between sending someone back where they came from (what Canada did) and torturing them (what the US is doing, sleep deprivation is torture).
Can you share the part of the article where this is mentioned or a source?
Canada is at the top of my mind. You need to get a visa and go through the "full immigration processing" even if you are only transiting through and not leaving the airport.
Basically it mostly boils down to liability I think. Companies can basically only lose from providing true feedback, so its an incentives issue and they are just not aligned here.
Yeah, it's totally doable for the US to deport all the illegal immigrants. The consequences would most likely be pretty high inflation, but it's totally doable.

While I dislike the UK requirement to have a passport on your first day at work, I understand why it exists.
For me it was already hard to get into chromium's code base. It takes too long to build and there's just so much to understand about it before you can make changes.

It might help if there was some way to play around with the APIs without having to wait so long for it to build. But as far as i know that's not currently possible.
Here in California, we tend to have total property tax rates of ~1.5%, which includes improvements like buildings. For various reasons, this is lower than the rest of the country which is more like 2-2.5%. But also, the assessed values of buildings tends to be artificially low in most places. These low assessed values discourage real estate changing hands, because the new owner would often have to pay more.

There's a lot of economists who think we should have a higher tax rate, but only on the true market value of the land, to promote efficient usage of real property.
Have also used it since day one. Impressive to see what it has become, hopefully just the beginning!

>The broad root cause is that back in the day we had the genius idea of paying multiple private companies to run trains on shared lines.

Train travel has doubled since the privatisation.

The main problem is we don't know how to build out infrastructure in a cost effective manner (see HS2 and the electrification of the Great Western Main Line). This isn't surprising as we do it in a stop/start manner rather than a continual process.
The problem with this line of thinking is that - in Judaism at least - Pigs aren't special. Anything without split hooves or doesn't chew it's cud is prohibited. Pigs, Camels, Rabbits and the Hare (last 2 are speculative translations) are the only ones mentioned because they have one quality but not the other.

> If people don't equally well suspect `eval` then education attempts have seriously failed.

Haha yes, that statement was mostly made in jest. I would hope most people would be just as suspicious of an eval one liner with a singular emoji. Does make it slightly less suspicious than an equivalent eval which doesn't have 50 invisible bytes.

Good shout on fixing issues with eval in OSS--I think I might do that!

I like this way of measuring extra work. Is this standard at Google?
Because Windows is a bad neighbor and happily overwrites anything else.
Without going into the technical efficacy of such schemes ( I am a skeptic), the proposed solution requires the entity generating the media to use it. Isn’t that a flaw? Why would an attacker use it willingly? If they did not want to push an AI generated content as a real one, they would have willingly made that distinction themselves.

The point is, there is no good solution here unless there is regulation, but these attempts at solutions are useful in the long run
The involved engineers are most likely running around with a blushed-red face to this day, claiming "phishing resistance" in all the marketing materials but then having such a bug. I'd say the cover-your-ass (CYA) reflex was a big incentive for google engineers to fix it quickly.
Signal does not yet support disappearing messages after 90 days, which is rather unfortunate. For our main family chat, four weeks (the signal maximum) is perceived as too short, so we have not enabled disappearing messages there.

No idea why Signal doesn't match WhatsApp with a 90-day disappearing messages option.
You're right, it's just a coincidence that the advent of capitalism and an unimaginable increase in global wealth happened at the same time.

Thousands of texts written by historians and economists who dedicate their lives to understanding our past are totally wrong.
Dude, if you have a tattoo that looks questionable, you literally could be deported to a concentration camp in El Salvador. Granted, maybe you are white, and that might be the one thing which saves you.
That happened a while ago though. I figure focus on people doing bad stuff in the present. All countries did bad stuff in the past if you go back far enough.

Swapping out allocators won't cause some programs to crash and others to not crash unless your program is already using up all available RAM or your program has a bug and the allocation pattern happens to be more likely to trigger invalid memory access in a way that crashes.

This allocation pattern idea is unlikely to show up in any real application except at the absolute limit where your exhausting RAM and the OOM killer gets involved. Even then I think you're going to not see the allocator be much of a differentiating factor.
The bible is involved at the behest of the inauguree; we've had christian presidents, and so they've largely sworn in on the bible. John Quincy Adams used a book of laws, and Coolidge didn't use a book at all (there are a couple others, but they were unintentional).

Likewise, the US prayer is non-denominational (it typically is monotheistic though). Ireland, Canada, South Africa, and the UK also have parliamentary prayers.

UK currency often features the letters "D.G.", which are the initials to a latin phrase meaning "by the grace of God", but other European currency references to God have ended with the switch to the Euro.

The US certainly has above average entanglement of religiosity and governance, but hardly in a sense that makes it a theocracy. Politicians talking about faith and God is a very different thing from, eg, the country being run by the pope.
I don't, but your story could be accused of being anthropomorphic as much as my own. If it did have to work harder to forage though, it would have less time and energy to entertain itself.

A case where I know my own psychology has to do with it is the red winged blackbird which is a highly territorial bird which is always calling attention to nests that I'd otherwise ignore by buzz-bombing me and that I see high up in the air flapping frantically to nip at the tail feathers and harass huge hawks that are flapping languidly riding thermals. I see these birds sitting on top of "POSTED: NO TRESPASSING" signs all the time because these are convenient perches, although they have no idea that the sign fits their mindset really well. One of my photography goals in the next few weeks is to get some of those pictures though I don't have a particularly long lens so I'll have the problem that they'll probably try to buzz bomb me instead of sitting still to get their picture taken.
that's no solution. The standard of a workable city is Stockholm, not Tampa.
I didn’t know this could be per-session or per-transaction. That seems a way better way to take advantage of this for very carefully thought-through use-cases without setting up an invisible footgun in a global setting someone else doesn’t realize is changed from the default.

If you've previously been denied a visa you're no longer able to use the visa on arrival system. Hence you need to apply for a visa before you travel.
Viktor, the World Builder
All of the weird rules in the bible suddenly start to make sense in the context of an early human civilization "survival guide." Don't make clothes out of two different fabrics because one will wear faster than the other and it causes waste. Monogamy / rules about adultery are for stopping the spread of STDs. Don't mix crops on the same field because it makes it harder to tend to the plant's individual needs. Not boiling a calf in its mother's milk was probably less about the literal act and more about it being sub-optimal to slaughter calves when you have a mature animal available.

I think this analysis could be theologically consistent as well because that's a pretty smart play by a God who's trying to get us to be successful, but who also has to make compromises for early humans who need clear simple rules and who aren't yet advanced enough to understand the why/nuance behind a lot of them. It also provides a theological basis for the fact that "Cafeteria Catholics" are the norm because we've outgrown / understand better the basis for those rules.
Silly clawbacks by pharmaceutical dispensers.

I have a commercial prescription insurance card. My Rx costs $25.

Same Rx costs $10 using just only my revealed Medicare prescription card.

Same Rx costs $2.98 posing as a poor destitute customer without revealing any prescription card.

Later learned that the drug dispensers takes back and pockets the $22.02 and $7.02 if a prescription card gets procurred.

But, but ... BUT I get the Rx for free if I produce both cards.

It's a topsy-turvy world!
The DR system doesn’t look at ticket scans alone. It also builds a profile per customer based on a number data points.

It will flag up quite quickly if you are “sniping” delayed trains at different times.

That’s a shame. We’ve mostly been switched to some app-powered thing in my town as well, but they included some kiosk things as well.

Oh I see, sorry. Yeah the generalized prohibition is older than cheeseburgers but I'm not sure by how much. I believe I have read about rabbis discussing it in the middle ages but I may have misunderstood. I don't know that much about rabbinical judaism frankly.
I love meat yet stopped eating all mammalian and fowl protein more than 30 years ago. I compromised with fish, but have gone long stretches without. Yet somehow protein is still very primary in my diet. As many people speak of this difficulty to evolve and change their diet, I have come to theorize that people have a deep seated cultural need for sacrifice -- something must die for their meal to be legitimate. The OP/OA explores the history of this idea. With all of the well developed plant protein options, some imitative of meats and others unique and viable, and the obvious looming problem of scaling livestock production with population growth and climate change, there must be something deep seated holding our evolution back.
Good, Apple's behavior deserves punishment. They're lucky the EU didn't demand 10 years of tax payments in advance after the Irish tax fraud scheme.
How sure are you that if the hostages were returned, that the war would end? Netanyahu needs this war to continue to stay in power, I don't think he has an exit plan, I think he intends to have this war last as long as possible. 60% of all buildings in Gaza have been destroyed, when will it be enough? When the last building is destroyed, will they start blowing up the rubble piles? Do you think there's an exit plan?
I've been securing my cloud instances the same way I would for dedicated hardware. I use the same tools. I periodically eyeball usage data from the service providers to make sure their end is OK. Takes 5-15 minutes. Occasionally run updates. It all mostly just keeps chugging along.

What is a CSPM? Some cloud monitoring tool? What does it provide over open-source security and monitoring tools with years of field use that would make me invest time into it? Also, have these tools been thoroughly audited, scanned, fuzzed, and pentested by reputable people like some of the open source tools we've been using? Since tools are part of the attack surface, do these tools themselves increase or reduce it?

Serious questions since you think I should be very knowledgeable about these tools. My tech stack just works with minimal maintenance. So, I'd have to lose time on more important or fun stuff to even study CSPM or Wiz. Not counting setting it up.
I do believe we can move toward a real alternative, but the main obstacle is that the Play Store and App Store are pre-installed on most smartphones. People rarely consider where to get their apps from—they just default to what's already there.

The only real way this might change is if developers decide to skip those stores altogether. But given the massive audience that Google and Apple provide, it's hard to see that happening. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle, unfortunately. I’d love to see an alternative though.
We should start generating non sense information to feed up these hungry crawlers.
The problem is that they will keep working to find a way to mimic human behaviour to get the real data.
I think people are confused by the definitions of primary/secondary sources.

As an example, almost all textbooks are actually secondary sources. The primary source may be a journal article. And yes, often, those secondary sources are far superior than the primary sources. Insisting on reading all those journal articles as opposed to a good textbook is simply indulging in a fetish, IMO.

Well rent control has a long, well documented history of bad outcomes. Doesn't exactly make me eager to let the government set all the prices.

Well, we (in NL) are used to bikes going mostly the same speed and people in cars and bikes following the rules. With overpowered fat-bikes, it's now much more chaotic than a decade ago.

The established road / bike path system here runs so smoothly that changes like this cause problems. People can't seem to improvise. I've also been to Cairo a lot and had a bit of a traffic culture shock. I believe that the chaotic Cairo traffic seems to cope much better with unexpected situations.

Was this a codebase you were working with regularly already? This project exposes a C FFI, so unless you were already working in the guts here, I don't think this should affect you terribly.

edit: I'm actually not seeing the C FFI, looking at the library. It must be there somewhere, because it's being used from a C++ codebase. Can somebody point to the extern C use? I'm finding this inside that `fontations` repository:

> rg 'extern "'
fontations/fauntlet/src/font/freetype.rs
161:extern "C" fn ft_move_to(to: *const FT_Vector, user: *mut c_void) -> c_int {
168:extern "C" fn ft_line_to(to: *const FT_Vector, user: *mut c_void) -> c_int {
175:extern "C" fn ft_conic_to(

Privacy is not binary. Therefore, it is very likely that even if other people do not practice good privacy practices, practicing them already increases personal control over one's information.

It is very requirement heavy to imagine a theoretical situation where the behaviour of those around you perfectly mitigates 100% of your own digital hygiene.
Why doesn't your MCP catalog contain a server for working with cursor.directory?
They article quotes $1400 for these bikes as initial investment. Add that to my personal assertation that anyone working on a bike should be handy enough to DIY for all things related to service/repair. Bikes are not hard to work on at all. If you agree with that, then you should be able to convert a standard bike to an e-bike with a couple hundred dollar kit that is readily available. Unless there's some kind of market capture here where they can't access the cheap parts I have access too via Alibaba/Amazon, this could easily be a DIY with a few simple tools and some research on YT. I've done this myself with no special electronic experience (however, I did service my own BMX bikes when I was a kid/teen).
