There are a bunch of units under the Israeli intelligence corps, each doing their own thing. They are not the units with the 007 spies, they are technological units with a very small minority of them in defensive/offensive cybersecurity.

Looking at the profiles in that page it looks like all of them are just programmers/integrators or training other how to use the intelligence systems that are in 8200. not much spy shit.

If it's on linkedin, it's not really secret.

While rockets are the main weapon (they also like to do stabbings) used in the palestinian-israeli conflict over the last years, the main reason of israeli palestinian hate is their past love of exploding inside busses and restaurants during the first[1] and second intifada[2]

honestly since the iron dome we are kind of "fine" with the occasional rocket (on a personal but also to some extent on a political level)

The precentage of woman and children in the population is known but that is only relevant if you assume Israel is bombing randomly

Some civilians evict themselves from these areas (north and central gaza mainly)

Some of the bombed areas would have less civilians in them even before the war since they are used by hamas for war (but obviously not 0)

Israel publishes the high ranking Hamas members that are confirmed dead but don't report civ/"grunts"

Not that I am saying we should take the health ministry word as fact (they lied before, Al-Ahli Hospital is just an example) but I don't think their numbers would be orders of magnitude off

It's Meld creator. not a random user. That's why it took longer than expected to fix meld on the latest version of macos

Great game although i have some feedback

1. Make the score more clear. If i ended up opening 15 clues is it alot? very little? no idea

2. Have an option to play previous days. Most daily games have that option

3. When i put a check for person X in room Y at time Z the crosses should just appear in the other rooms. QoL change to reduce errors

while a PR doesn't exist in git it is no more than a branch with extra data attached to it

I've been using GH at work and personally for a while now and i never wanted/needed to use the GH CLI/GUI, the IDE will cover you if you need it to.

If they really removed the easy to use copy button it would be annoying but calling it "extinguish" is definetly some HN warrior attitude. They didn't remove it though, just moved it a bit and OP is being a bit dramatic

Just checked to see if I just missed it when i use GH

when cloning a repo you get 3 tabs instead of 2 before which are HTTPS,SSH,GH CLI

based on the gh command you wrote you were trying to checkout a branch related to a PR so i tried that on top there is now the `Checkout with github CLI` section but underneath it there is `Checkout with Git` with the HTTPS or SSH options

yes, they changed the layout and put their CLI on top (which came before microsoft btw, unrelated to them) but there is still the original workflow right there

Either OP is on some A/B bucket where they "deleted" git or OP didn't bother to look

I used to comment on (semi) controversial topics and get into very long and very tedious discussions with strangers

I also did that alot in real life with non strangers

Once I stopped doing that I became much happier. Stick to things that are facts/proven instead of controversial/edgy opinions and you will be much happier

August 2017 - Android picked kotlin over java

September 2018 - Flutter release preview 2 released (can't find the date on RP1)

December 2018 - 1.0 release of flutter

Flutter is not going to be the primary framework over JVM-based for Android any time soon, these things takes lots of time. But android didn't pick Kotlin over flutter, it was just not ready to be the preferred language at that point in time. I would even say Kotlin could have been promoted even sooner then it was

Unless you hire a good (read: expensive) devops person to look after your infrastructure, clickops-ing your way through the AWS console will likely leave behind a pile of unused instances and components that will eat into your budget.

While this is true-ish (finding lost resources or just not creating them in the first place is not that complex), when the day comes that you will need/want to move to one of the cloud providers you will need a good devops to handle that hybrid cloud environment and making the transfer as painless as possible. cross cloud routing, DB migrations and not to mention setting up secure access for all of it is less complex in my POV then cost managing your cloud account

Thoughts on RSS 4 years ago

You can still use RSS for most news sites and some feed type sites

youtube,news(papers) and so on have support for RSS or are supported using 3rd party providers

Yeah.

Other than for news and stuff i have a google apps script that uses my RSS feeds to add new youtube videos to specific playlists I have.

Since youtube's "subscriptions" page became so bad in the past years that script is a must

If you stop pirating you would still have 30TB of disk space. you might not need it but you would still have it. Anyway, it would be much easier to download stuff on demand than to hoard the entire movie archive on your disks

An idle computer (just disk IO) shouldn't cost 45$ a month in electricity unless your prices are much much higher then the average

you don't a 40$ subscription to pirate. just buy an invite to a couple of private trackers and you are done

Desktop used for gaming or work stuff that doesn't have to go through the VPN (zoom,calendar,slack and so on)

Living room desktop running plex for stream to the google TV

my uni laptop is still being used by my SO when she needs to look at some 3D imaging which is painfully slow on her uni laptop

so i/we use 2 desktops my SO uses 2 laptops and an fire tablet when shes on the train
