And i thought it was about those polo shirts and replicas of the horse logo on the “fake” t-shirts.

i thought the iran war was distraction from the epstein files. i'm losing all track of all these distractions.

Dang, your emacs config is older than me.

Man the moral degradation is off the charts. Prediction markets are easily the worst things to grace the internet by far and its not even close.

I think a good portion of the world has decided on “Muhammad”, just need to converge on a spelling and boom close to a billion men with the same name.

oh please, 9am should be whenever I log into my work computer.

voiceover on that video sounded like it was ai generated lool

It's unfortunate I couldn't fit the full title "Free, Open-Sourced, Private, Unlimited PDF WebApp. No Registration. No paywalls. No Ads"

HAH!

Also, thanks a lot for building this utility. I've typically used mac's builtin "Preview" app to do some basic PDF operations like deleting some pages and merging two pdfs, but doing so on windows required using some sketchy websites.

While somebody from Palestine side did fire the opening salvo on oct7.

Now, that's a re-writing of history if I've ever seen one.

Israeli and Palestinian deaths preceding the 2023 Gaza war. Of the Palestinian deaths 5,360 were in Gaza, 1,007 in the West Bank, 37 in Israel. Most were civilians on both sides.

Quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Israeli%E2%80%...

See the chart on the top right with the orange bars

I think this bit gives it up:

And now, with Iran's nuclear ambitions supposedly neutralized in a single blow, we can all relax. The threat is gone. No strategic aftershocks, no long term consequences, no unintended escalation. Just peace, stability, and a region completely satisfied with the outcome.

Sounds like sarcasm to me.

When coming from telephony and high availability [world]

That's a good point, its pretty easy to forget BEAM's heritage from the telecom world. The defaults on the VM are for that use-case, I'm so used to thinking of everything from a web perspective that I didn't even consider this, despite knowing of its history.

been reading / work with elixir and was interested in finding out the cause of high cpu usage.

TLDR: BEAM VM uses busy waiting under the hood to achieve fast response time when dealing with requests. you can disable it by setting a few options in the VM.

Edit: Interesting thing here is that there's no significant latency difference when toggling busy/wait, so not sure why that's the default.

for your sanity stop replying to invalidname, that dude is in every single Israel / Palestine post, with non-stop commenting. I think he's (she's?) paid to astro-turf here. Just look at their history, and then look at mine for a convo that I have had with them in the past.

what exactly is present in intellij that isn't available in vscode / neovim with lsp / newer emacs? I ask because, I use(d) intellij for java and maybe i'm not using most of its capabilities or they're hidden away in plain sight, but i haven't noticed anything special aside from the slow ui.

unless I'm doing some basic front-end stuff, i've found that AI code assistants are an absolute waste of time.

i've worked at a 30-50 person company that was (is?) super inefficient. at some point there were more directors, managers and product people than actual engineers doing the work. i remember specifically that at one point there was a team of 4 people with 1 engineer and 3 different "stakeholders"!

to expand on the parent's comment a little bit as well, most of these canadian bank accounts also have fees per interac transaction depending on the account. The richer the person, the more money in your account and more fees you can get waived. until recently I would not send interac e-transfers because it would cost me $.50 per transaction after the first 5.

makes me think that they haven't used python in a production environment. It's a mess, pip, poetry, stupid eggs.... that's just deployments then there's personal dev environments.

damn, thanks for this comment. I didn't go to their website, but I opened the comments fully expecting the vector design program built this especially with that title.

And, please, don't buy one of these $500 Obsidian courses.

It's weird how there's even a large enough market for all of these in the first place.

- You know what, just drop all the scrum nonsense

I pretty much agree with everything you said, aside from this. I think retros are pretty good where the team can come together and say why certain tasks too long and figure out solutions to those. But rest of the scrum stuff is pretty garbage, especially cross team demos.

because Israel has a well documented history of not letting refugees come back to their homes after they leave. So, if Egypt lets any amount of refugees in, they might as well be increasing their population permanently with a group of people who want to go back.

visited your city a few months ago during summer, had a lot of fun one weekend where you guys close up few streets in the core city and everyone zooms around on the electric scooters and bikes. Lack of food options were my only complaints. Incredibly beautiful though!

wow, as soon as we switched to LED bulbs I noticed something was "off" in the house and couldn't really put my finger on it.

Thanks for this comment, I guess I gotta do some research on this now.

yeah, I couldn't stick with Make it Stick either. Idk, something about the book just made it feel like a chore.

funnel velocity.

I read that as "funeral velocity"... maybe its all the school shootings that happen but that was a rather macabre.

everything was just peachy for everyone until Hamas just decided to attack out of the blue.

Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Israeli%E2%80%... for an very short example of Palestinian suffering in this 70+ years of conflict.

Wilful ignorance isn't a good reason to spout nonsense.

Anyway, if Gazan citizens learn the lessons of their mistakes, they still have a future.

OK, let's for a second assume that all this crap started on Oct 7. What exactly have the Palestinians' in West Bank got to do with any of this shit? 1k arrests, settlers gunning down people walking down the street there. This whole shit is absolutely disgusting and the fact that people sit in the comforts of their home and preach about teaching "Gazan's their lessons", whatever the hell that means.

Probably the best book I’ve read on this subject. There’s a lecture by the author[1] as a quick overview of what the book is about.

his suggestion that Israel's response constitutes a war crime, less than 1 week after Hamas' brutal slaughter of at least 1400 innocents, may be interpreted as insensitive and biased.

His comments came around the same time as Israel announced their blockade of all food, water and electricity into Gaza.

Dont use the deaths of innocent Israelis to silence legitimate critique of the Israeli government and the war crimes they’re committing.
