Nuh uh

Elon is always trying to find the biggest bottlenecks holding back humanity's technological progress.

See Hyperloop (lmao), a project dedicated to torpedoing trains. Elon is always trying to find and suck up the biggest federal grants.

I just wonder if, if I may add notorious zionist and racist by other means as well, Shaun Maguire is lying to himself or just to everyone else.

Title had me excited before I read past the first two words

The treatment of the West Bank today, just like the early days of the Irgun and Haganah, immediately disproves every suggested notion in this. It's frankly insultingly bad, the same trite propaganda from all the way back to "I would say to England if I could an Arab Palestine is a threat to Great Britain and a menace to the world. A Jewish Palestine is an asset to Great Britain and a blessing to the world."

I hope this guy is just grifting for clicks, which would explain rationalizing Trump and defending Eric Adams, and didn't actually buy any of it himself.

We are unable to disclose the company’s name

No need, I can deduce it to be Brooklyn Bridge Sellers, Inc.

Thanks for the spoiler, I was just about to start

They are literally fostering Linux games by selling and endorsing a platform where those games would be native as well as having native releases of their own games. They aren't gonna force any third-party devs to do the same, but they're showing that there is a market while also growing it.

As a means of control

Steam Decks run on Arch Linux

About once a year I try running Windows, but it's still too annoying, ad-ridden, bloated yet limiting and ultimately powerless that I'm willing to stick with the higher performance alternative.

In my humble and correct (trumping anyone else's) opinion, they are both garbage.

The person is concerned about securing AI, especially its potential use in weaponry. While AI offers benefits, the risks of misuse are significant. "Securing" AI means ensuring its safe, ethical use, but balancing security with practicality is challenging. Overly strict measures could hinder AI's function, while weak safeguards could lead to dangerous applications. Perfect security isn't possible, but manageable risks can be achieved through safeguards, regulations, and ethical guidelines. Ongoing discussions and rapid response systems are needed to address emerging threats, and AI could also enhance security. Ultimately, full security isn't feasible, but risks can be minimized.

I'd be ashamed to publish such shoddy "work" using any real account or name

Great, now all that is missing is a decent packaging system for Python.

It was my pleasure.

You're welcome

I'm doing my part!

Crowdstrike is a bunch of idiots

The US had nothing to do with Israel forming beyond being part of the UN vote

I put on my history hat and check the books

Liberia's Ambassador to the United States complained that the US delegation threatened aid cuts to several countries.

After a phone call from Washington, the representative was recalled and the Philippines' vote changed.

After considering the danger of American aid being withheld, France finally voted in favour of it. So, too, did France's neighbours, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

Mind you that I am not calling foul play here, this is par for the course for politics. This is just to refute the quoted point above, unless you consider bribery and threats of sanctions a "nothing".

destabilisation of Middle East diverted them away from continental US

I put on my critical thinking hat and look at the timeline of "US meddling in the Middle East" and "first terror attack in the US by a middle eastern".

I then notice that the years are 1948 and 1993 respectively and that wet roads actually do not cause rain after all.

$this is a much better experience than $that, even though it only has a subset of $that's features

I concur, and:

sed 's/even though/because'

Every compiled language can do it until you run into issues with glibc vs musl or openssl version or network stack defaults and remember you weren't as static as you thought.

Do you remember what the word "root" means?

Some[1] may have missed the point, emojis were never supported by some[2] in their projects and they consider them to be the mark of the beast[3]

Don't have any data I must say, just a series of discussions here and elsewhere over the years, voicing either appreciation for the platforms above or displeasure with the logistics/price of TFcloud, e.g. with one I remember

https://old.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/eaq8bh/terraform_em...

The vast majority of projects that I've come across at work just had the tf CLI wrapped in a CI/CD pipeline + some bucket, but the managed competitors seemed to come up more often (compared to other tools/platforms) when people wanted to use/were using something as a service. Perhaps it's really just a perception thing, I never checked their financials

edit: I think I went off-track from the point. The point was that the ones selling managed versions were not the hyperscalers, but people building wrappers and similar around it. The other commenter with the list of fork-backers illustrates that nicely.

The hyperscalers weren't selling Terraform though, Hashicorp was losing to Terragrunt, Spacelift et al, who had decent to good offerings.

I'd say Elasticsearch is still the comparison to make here for a product that clouds just resold, then again, Redis the company didn't build Redis the software and their latest marketing smells more of VC hawkery than any reasonable pitch

The West Bank serves as an example of that and also what happens without violent resistance:

The ethnic cleansing happens anyway, followed up by settlers.

civilians as shields

For as much as the IOF likes to market this expression, I only ever see them do it in the actual sense, like chaining literal 12 year-olds to the front of armored vehicles
