Israel has not expanded. It has shrunk. It returned Sinai to Egypt. It returned Gaza to the Palestinians. It gave control of west bank cities to the Palestinian Authority after allowing it's bitter enemy leadership (the PLO and Arafat) to return to the West Bank.

I'm reading Ireland between the lines. There is zero similarity.

A two state solution is not possible because most Palestinians do not want that solution. They want Israel erased and Jews "erased" from the middle east. Offers were already on the table and refused and the Oslo peace process was killed by Hamas violence.

I am a good programmer and believe in well-behaved software.

My coworkers aren't, but I was shocked to learn they believe all software is inherently brittle and fragile.

I fix issues at the root by changing code.

My coworkers fix issues by publishing user workflows which can avoid triggering issues, or removing execution paths featuring buggy code, etc.

My coworkers work less than I do, so I'm trying to be more like them.
>This is not achievable.

Maybe.

>And even...

Suppose any hardcoded path can be disabled, and decode done purely in microcode.

Performance would be a function of:

- how well the microcode can perform in decoding RISC-V.

- how well the actual execution units map to RISC-V instructions.

And whether this is worth it, ignoring the effort gone into it and the street cred of making something like this work, would be a function of whether or not it can beat a JIT emulator running on the same hardware.

To be fair, uBlock Origin has always been a special case. It's so good and so important and so trusted that it should have access to browser internals that normal extensions can't access.

Honestly, uBlock Origin shouldn't be an extension to begin with, it should be a literally built in feature of all browsers. Only reason it's not is we can't trust ad companies to maintain an ad blocker.

There's a difference between truth and lies - an actual, material, essential difference. It's not politics, it's truth.

People can take any relativistic position they want, but that difference is essential to anything and everything: The truth about database i/o performance is essential to your project; the truth about climate change is essential to preventing catastrophe; the truth about Covid was essential to saving millions of lives - and many died and much blood is on the hands of the liars.

But the liars were not, and shouldn't have been, arrested, deported, extorted, threatened, etc.

> You still have to be careful with supervision trees and parts of the tree restarting [...] Erlang gives you a good model to work with these problems but it doesn't allow you to completely turn off your brain.

Erlang gives architects the tools to restart as little, or as much of the tree as they like, so I hope they have their brains fully engaged when working on the infrastructure that underlies their projects. For complex projects, it's vital think long and hard about state-interactions and sub-system dependencies, but the upside for Erlang is that this infrastructure is separated from sequential code via behaviors, and if the organization is big enough, the behaviors will be owned by a dedicated infrastructure team (or person) and consumed by product teams, with clear demarcations of responsibilities.

Why are we moving the goal posts?

Parent claims the violence is simply due to:

"The idea of Hamas wouldn't exist if Gaza (and the West Bank) wasn't occupied by land, air and sea; their land stolen on a daily basis, and Palestinian people treated as subhuman animals."

This is not true. And this is what I'm addressing in my reply.

We can litigate 1948 as well. Plenty of Palestinian violence pre-1948. Their refusal to accept the UN's partition plan (which was a lot more generous than the two state solution people are talking about today).

EDIT: Also I hope you're not trying to say that Israel's actions during the war in 1948 (even if we accept they were in the wrong, which I do not) justify boarding a bus and slaughtering civilians 6 years later.

Your last statement I guess is true but not helpful. Plenty of violence to go around.
You are believing the trash talk and allowing it to intimidate you. You are helping them by spreading it and legitimizing it.

I don’t think the Linux one is that stupid, but it might be me.

It’s not a “magic comment” because it doesn’t depend on the runtime. It specifies an interpreter to use, regardless of the language of the file.

Eg you can use #!/usr/bin/python for a Python script. I don’t find it worse than the existing alternative of making the file name magic and finding and interpreter based on that.
Sadly two management levels above we’re just a line in a spreadsheet. Maybe even one level above.

On further reflection I think the sweet spot for R for me
Has always been prototyping and exploration. Where you don’t exactly know what the logic needs to be, or how the data needs to be cut to get at what you want. So that rapid type of exploration R is really really good at. Closer to math for me than software engineering. And if I had a job where I could just do that all day I’d be pretty happy at this point in my life. and you can’t use a pivot table Google sheets or excel to get at the cut you want or the logic is too complex to do in Google sheets. So for that sweet spot, which is still a broad niche, R is excellent and shines.
Oh cool — no I didn’t know. Loved Red October - it somehow seemed to be faster paced than the movie was, which seems rare.
I've read four Thomas Pynchon novels, probably the shortest and most accessible four:

The Crying of Lot 49, Bleeding Edge, Inherent Vice, and Vineland.

I have Gravity's Rainbow and Against The Day sitting in my bookcase, intimidating me with their voluminousity. I dare not start them for fear of how long they will take to finish.

Despite this, I look forward to any new Pynchon publications. This new one will take its place on my bookshelf, no doubt.

P.S. Inherent Vice is a great movie. Somewhat of a spiritual sequel to The Big Lebowsky.
As an introvert that’s been consciously working to make new friends, I’ve noticed a couple phenomena:

- I’d love to be friends with other introverts to enjoy quiet times together. but… int-to-int pairs will rarely form in nature, however extroverts are great for mediating the connections. Make friends with the talkative outgoing types, because through them you can meet the other quiet people they’ve befriended but you’d never meet in the wild.

- however, there seem to be some common pitfalls to introvert-extrovert friendships. From my (introvert) side, you can often find yourself getting insecure or jealous of all the other social connections that your extrovert friends have. There’s an asymmetry there that can feed lots of insecurities. I’m sure that there’s something equivalent from the other direction, but I dont know what it is
It takes time to develop relationships that have

1. Longevity. The longer you’ve been friends the more likely you’ll be friends in the future.

2. Trust. Trust in a relationship is anti-fragile. The more times trust is partially damaged but restored, the stronger it becomes.

3. Meaning. The story “we met while looking for friends to do MDMA with, and now we are attached” is cute when you’re 23. What those people mean to you is that you are lovable and able to form bonds out in the world. Good! But shallow.

TLDR; it may be an effective way to have intense but shallow and short-lived connections

That’s exactly the problem. The discounts are there to make you buy larger packs and the process of items are designed to not fit neatly into the pack sizes.

Guild Wars 2 doesn’t do that. 5$ is always 400 gems and items cost multiples of 100 gems usually. You can also convert gems into gold (the ingame non store currency) and vice versa.

It’s basically an abstraction over the real life currency to decouple the real money aspect from the actual store. Nothing more.

In comparison, most mobile games try to make this as obfuscated as possible to squeeze as much money out of customers as possible. Basically following the patterns that I was warned in school about regarding drugs. First hit is cheap or even free but once you’re a regular things get more expensive.

It's pretty amazing how much bs you're willing to believe about Israel, yet not a single critique of the perpetrators of this attack or their supporters.

Easily overlooking the holocaust, the farhud and the pogroms. Israel was founded because Jewish people were not safe without a state.

What is American life? Why can't people criticize whatever they want - that is American life.

> "Then they came for the Jews, and the administration finally deported the people who were coming for the Jews"

The vast majority of antisemitism is on the right. The administration does nothing about it (and supports and legitimizes much of it).

Also, the Jews will be next. By attacking critics of Judaism, they are entrapping Jewish people (and others) in legitimzing this oppression, and in making themselves into targets of hate. Then when the white supremecists turn on them, and say Jews are conspiring to control American, what will these Jewish supporters of arrests, oppression, and deportations say?

> Another difference would be that you are allowed to express your opinion, whereas in russia you would be put to jail, that's true but only in a very limited way.

This is more subtle. I have a lot to say about Israel, and I do post occasionally on Facebook, but I tone it down a lot because I have a few high profile people in the industry and academia among my Facebook friends (not actual friends). If I were to post what I really think, this would have serious career repercussions for me. People would brand me as an antisemite (they don't know that my grandfather is Jewish and he practically raised me).

Can you compare this to Russia? Well, I am Russian and I live in the West, so my choice of living here gives an answer to this question. I'd be in jail in Russia if they read my Facebook posts about the war in Ukraine. Yet, I'm now disillusioned about the Western liberalism, all thanks to Gaza war.

No, and in the context of the thread I care little about the US.

The US might be worse (I doubt it) but it has basically no relevance imo.
I have a lot more patience for flaws when I know they are not the result of a profit motive. For example if Linux deletes my graphics driver and I have to spend an hour reading up on fixing it.

If on the other hand I know that a flaw is a result of intentional, adversarial rent seeking behavior (eg ads in the search menu on Windows; introducing shitty UI design; dark patterns), my patience is non-existent.

Millions of thousands of dollars. When "health and life" is talking about whether ten people have overtime for a week, it's far less important than billions of dollars. And you can easily easily pay them enough to compensate for the stress.

The fact that works are produced not by a human, not for private use, but by a for-profit tool commercially at scale is important.

It's like saying they are both Turing Complete or that SML modules and Haskell typeclasses are functionally equivalent (even though their use in practice is quite different).

Aactors must always have a known address to be accessed and you share them by sharing addresses. You also wouldn't pass an actor to an actor and you'd pass an address instead. CSP channels are first-class. You can create anonymous channels and even pass channels through other channels. This is similar to languages with lambdas and first-class functions vs other languages where every function has a name and functions cannot be passed to other functions.

Actors are naturally async-only and (for example) make no attempt to solve the two generals problem while CSP implementations generally try to enforce synchronization. CSP also enforces message order while actors don't guarantee that messages will be received in the order they were sent.

These are all more theoretical than actual though. CSP channels may be anonymous to the programmer, but they all get process IDs just like Actors would. Actors may seem async, but they can (and no doubt do in practice) make stronger guarantees about message order and synchronicity when on the same CPU. Likewise, CSP would give the illusion of synchronicity and ordering across CPUs where none actually exists (just like TCP).
This has the same vibes as BP talking about the co2 footprint and personal responsibility.

Yeah I would never give a cent to some Swiss watch company. The only luxury watches I see actually worth their price tag are those made by independent watchmakers like Masahiro Kikuno.

I watched a documentary[0] back in the day that goes over his process of designing and making a watch and it's nothing short of amazing. There's something about swiss watches being so commoditized (even the most expensive ones) that makes their clientele seem outright stupid in my opinion.

Even if you're right, it would cause a fuckton of stress in the people filing taxes, many of them now undergoing a significantly higher risk of cardiac arrest than the guy who's on call 1 week per year.

And if there's even a few percent chance you're wrong, the fallout would be enormous. In both money lost and even more stress.

And how many people do you think it'll take to make the IRS wait? What if you're a bit under that threshold, still with a whole lot of very stressed customers?

As long as the amount of on-call time is very small, I don't think it needs to be restricted to a super critical subset of jobs.

I have a feeling you'll not appreciate my answer considering your current workflow.

I don't mind bash and the various cli programs I used to use for the tasks I was doing at the cli. However I was forced years ago to learn powershell. Now syntax aside I was able to use powershells native functionality to do things I'd have to call other programs for, read and process CSV, JSON, XML, etc. Nushell is like powershell but a much better syntax and I prefer the data model and love the output.

My main workflows consist of exploring data, cleaning it, and outputting what I need. Nushell has this covered.
