Sorry, you think there's no longer appropriate and legitimate situations in which to call someone antisemitic? What does Israel's relative position of power have to do with how Jews are treated in other countries?

For that mater, I wouldn't necessarily use the word Sinophobic, but you don't think Asian-Americans being assaulted and harassed over the "Kung-flu" have a reasonable complaint or claim that their abuser was motivated by anti-Chinese sentiment?
This is fascinating. Email from Marc Horowitz, dated 12/1/1992:

"Does anybody have any contact information for David Chaum or DigiCash?

I think it's worthwhile to find out if any of the problems we've been discussing have been previously solved. It's possible that our experiment could increase visibility of digital cash to the point that a real commercial venture could work, in which case he may even be interested in helping us.

Email me personally, I'll summarize.

Marc"

If not for that missed connection, we might be living in an alternate universe where Bitcoin was invented in 1993-1994 and became the default mechanism for Internet payments, and PayPal never existed.
This great comment is another example of what's bad about Bazel: It has the least enlightening documentation. Bazels docs are thorough and useless. Every page you read assumes you already understand the concepts described on the page.

This comment explains a query, actions, and macros pretty decently, and I doubt you could find an explanation of these things in the Bazel docs that a new user could understand.
Like memory consolidation and physical restoration. My lay understanding is that we are unconscious because we turn our sensors off during deep sleep, and direct energy away from the prefrontal cortex, where reasoning and consciousness reside, to the limbic system, which processes memories and feelings, so that learning can take place.
It's ugly and clunky, which is why after seven years it's had very little adoption. Home users aren't network engineers so these things actually do matter even if it seems silly in a technical sense.
Yep. It was common lore at Facebook last decade that the reply to “my build is broken” was “raise the JVM heap limit!”

"Well, eet's no use crying over speeled mitochondria..." --Ren Höek

I don't think every mental health issue is traceable to mitochondrial dysfunction. But I'm pretty sure it's implicated in cardiovascular disease. Malfunctioning mitochondria can make your arteries more prone to inflammation which leads to greater lipid deposits. I even read somewhere (sorry, can't cite rn) that a major component of arterial plaques is bits of dead mitochondria.

>And if a US shoemaker wanted to undercut the import, a Made in USA shoe that sells for $100:

Somewhere in there you have to also figure in the cost of the fact that shoe factories and the suppliers of the goods to make shoes also don't exist in the US and will cost millions, and years, to get setup.
We also have a political environment that tries to gloss over the ways the two parties are similarly problematic and damaging while championing the idea that "we're the party of all things good and right and the other people are responsible for all bad positions".

Dems and Republicans alike support carbon emitting methods of power generating that result in over a million deaths a year worldwide. Voting for Trmp vs Bden probably doesn't have any real appreciable effect on worldwide pollution levels.

1. Start marking them as spam, to train my email provider that this sender is to be treated as such (correctly).

2. Set up filters to automatically archive/mark-as-read those emails.

3. If I was having a particularly slow week with nothing else to do, start finding the emails of engineers & managers at various responsible entities, and making it their problem every time an email comes in.
It would be great if there was an easy way to get trusted certificates for reserved domains without rolling out a CA. There are a number of web technologies that don't work without a trusted HTTPS origin, and it's such a pain in the ass to add root CAs everywhere.
Compiling things and wanting a robust build cache so developers spend less time waiting isn't a problem remotely unique to Google.

I think most of Europe understands that half of you did not vote for the orange man.

And in particular if you are well educated or work at a university looking for new opportunities you will be more than welcome.

If you misbehave though you will probably be frowned upon as a MAGA. But not much more than a frown. No reason to invent any risk, most of Europe is still an open society and have not changed.

If you plan to go to Hungary or places like Serbia, I am guessing that you will more greeted.

And soon enough I guess you will be able to travel to Russia and Belarus (also Europe), but I would not recommend it.
If you buy it vacuum-sealed from a shop, the packaging usually has additional branding from the producer.

Not a "favorite dairy", but if it's convenient to do so, I usually look for the "vacche rosse" type, which is more expensive but also noticeably different (and better). Of course it would be a waste to grate it over pasta; better to eat it on its own.
Just doing the same thing they do, basically. Have a tiny transducer "hit" the cheese and listen for echo back.

Now, I don't think ultrasound would work (it's a harder cheese than Swiss cheese), also the mechanical interface would be a complication (you can't gel the cheese). CT would work but be expensive

But tiny percussions and analysis of echo/transmission delays would work in principle

On the other hand these tools do allow individuals to connect and share.

I see it like politics ( at least the way it's managed in the UK ) - democracy means everyone get's to vote, leaflet door to door, politically organise etc. However there are ( in the non-online space ) strict regulations about money not being able to buy a larger voice - political spending is(was) strictly limited. You can't use broadcast media for political ads, apart from the government allocated slots.....

The regulations haven't kept up with the digital world - but they need to. Looking at what unfettered money has done to US politics is all the incentive you need.

One of the core problems is astroturfing is so easy online - money pretending to be people - in the end, I think the only solution is the loss of anonymity online - anonymity enables sock puppetry and astroturfing.

ie if we want to keep people's freedoms online to say what they want ( but within the law ), but at the same time stop money drowning out all voices, then you have to know what's automated and what's real - and people need to be held accountable for what they say or do - that's how the real world works.

You don't need authoritarian laws regulating content - social peer pressure is quite effective - after all democracy is the tyranny of the majority.

TLDR: Yes, of course.

For what it's worth, migrating from Java 8 to 11 is much smoother than .Net 4.x to .NET Core / Standard / 6+. In all honesty, in all the project we've migrated it was only ever so slightly more painful than migrating 11->17 or 17->21. You typically have to upgrade some libraries and your version of Gradle (assuming you're using it).

There is a much stronger case for enterprise apps being stuck on .NET 4.x.

This is a great way to see why invalid UTF-8 strings and unicode chars cause undefined behaviour in Rust. `char` is a special integer type, known to have a valid range which is a sub-range of its storage type. Outside of dataless enums, this is the only datatype with this behaviour (EDIT: I neglected NonZero<...>/NonZeroXXX and some other zero-niche types).

If you manage to construct an invalid char from an invalid string or any other way, you can defeat the niche optimization code and accidentally create yourself an unsound transmute, which is game over for soundness.
Is it still the case that the Linux kernel cannot be compiled using clang, or can you do that now?
In the instance of cow vs dog or horse, it’s only cognitively dissonant if you try to reduce it to a context-free universal truth.

With context, it’s simply “we should not eat animals we keep as pets”, where “we” needs to be contextualized to the person and culture. I keep dogs as pets, and therefore should not eat them. Other people don’t keep dogs as pets and are free to eat them.

More generally, we shouldn’t kill things we love. Pets are loved, and shouldn’t be killed for food. Farmed animals are a means to an end, not an object of affection.

Other contexts apply too, for the pedantic. Starvation is a context that would make eating pets okay, so on and so forth.

A lot of morality is contextual. If a good friend is going through a break up, I should care and be supportive. If a stranger like Taylor Swift is going through a break up, I have no moral obligation to care or be supportive (though it would be kind to do so anyways). Morality is contextualized by my relationship to that person.
Other commenters have given what's probably the right answer, but in the spirit of exploration, I wonder about electrical impedance tomography. I'd think a salty cheese would be a pretty good medium to pass electricity through, and since the wheels are very uniform in shape, you could make a chuck that held electrodes in contact with the wheel. We don't really need precise information about the shape and location of the voids, we're not going to do surgery on the cheese, so the coarseness of EIT might not be an issue.
thanks. I think security is super important, however I do not think it is necessary to obsess over it for no reason. If I want to share a dev password with someone, I can tell them the login over discord and then send them a link to temp.pw. Easy peasy and absolutely no security risk. This is why I created it.

> Past generations thought of these things and incorporated solutions into their lives that today would be called emergency preparedness.

Something which causes a whole continent to lose electricity for a year needs to be a catastrophe of epic proportions, it’s not a mere emergency.

> The silent and great generations did just dandy off-grid for years at a time very far from towns.

They didn’t live in an always connected world where everything runs on electricity and systems are explicitly designed to only work that way. There is a canyon of difference between living in a world where a technology doesn’t exist and one where most of society depends on one thing you suddenly lost access to.

> I think it's great they are at least asking questions and thinking about options.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t prepare. Being prepared is a good thing. I’m saying their scenario is unrealistic to the point there’s no proper helpful answer, like asking how to prepare for a meteor strike. If something like that happens your beans aren’t going to save you.
why the unfiltered back-and-forth between engineers and AI is becoming the most valuable system design artifact

These "design diaries" capture the messy brilliance of creation: questions, pivots, breakthroughs. Teams share them raw, trading static endpoints for living traces of intent. No more guessing the "why" — just read the chat.

It's like having an instant replay button for the design process, letting you watch the architectural decisions unfold step-by-step. Forget static blueprints; you get the raw footage of the design thinking, capturing the live decision-making trace, not just the highlight reel.
right but that one cherry picked number doesn't tell the whole story at all. if wages had also risen with inflation and economic pressure hadn't changed then i'd agree with you, but the fact is that an $80-90 hit today is harder than a $50 hit in 1992 because people generally have less disposable income now.
there’s a name I haven’t heard of in awhile
Arguably RSR vis a vis Ukraine in 2022 is a great primer on just how much the Russian military had decayed from their mid-80s Soviet peak. You can study histories and interviews from the late Cold War about just how much of a bloodbath the NATO militaries expected a Russian invasion of West Germany to be.

The USAF A-10 fleet was expected to have been wiped out in approximately 2-3 weeks of fighting based on expected loss rates, and nuclear escalation was not outside the realm of possibility.

What the Ukrainians managed to do in 2022 was impressive, full stop. But to understand what that reveals about the Russians, you also need to understand that the Ukrainians are essentially a JV military as opposed to the US, a NATO force, or someone like the Australians, Japanese, or South Koreans. The bravery is there, but they just don't have the same ability to integrate the details at scale such as fires, logistics, and large-scale joint operations, because they're still trying to shake off their Soviet past.

Whereas although the Soviets would have similar problems that come from being an authoritarian military, NATO would have been fighting them AND the entire Warsaw Pact (East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland et al). The Soviets wouldn't have had 30+ years of Russian societal decay and would have had the advantage of sheer mass.

I saw a How it's Made episode about cheeses like this the other day. They mix the ingredients in a giant electric mixer - but dump them in by hand. The inspection is still done by ear with a hammer - but when then need to flip the wheels over every few weeks they have a robot grabber thing do it.

Obviously, there's some balance in technology that is about right, but where do you draw the line? Because this could absolutely be done fully by hand or fully autonomously.

The episode after that showed a machine to milk cows which was fully automated with no human involvement at all!

I thought these paragraphs were the most insightful:

> While the Trump phenomenon feels unprecedented to many Americans, much of the world has seen figures like him before. Many Europeans have had firsthand experience — whether recent or generational — of chafing under a leader whose politics they find outrageous. In recent years alone, we’ve seen the rise of right-wing politicians across Europe who can broadly be described as “Trump-like,” from Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni, and from France’s Marine Le Pen to the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders. Trump is merely our local manifestation of a global trend.

> While Americans tend to be idealistic, many Europeans are steely-eyed realists. A hard history has taught them that you can’t always judge a person by their current leader. And they recognize that more Americans voted against Trump than voted for him; even if they’re alarmed at the actions of America, they don’t paint all Americans with the same, broad brush.

I think the reason that the rise of Trump has been so painful for many Americans is that it has shattered our view of American idealism (or perhaps a slightly different type of "American Exceptionalism", if you will).

When I was a kid and learned about the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, I remember thinking "How could people be so stupid? Why would they want to support these autocrats?" I don't think that anymore.
I clicked to satisfy the earnest request for attention. I even read some of the blog once I got there!
It reminds me a lot of the Iraq years. I don't think people judge individual Americans but be ready for people to say lots of negative things about American politics to you, even if you don't bring it up. Nothing personal but just generally.

I think these comments here are politically charged. There are a lot of walk of life in the US not limited to politics or who/what someone voted for.

I am sure if Americans are not welcome in Europe it isn't because they are an American, but that individual isn't very nice or polite around others. I haven't been to Europe in a long time, because Asia is so much more awesome.
