Took a peek in worldnews recently and yeah it’s bad. I don’t remember it being so bad the last time Gaza was bombed. It’s like they cleaned out worldnews for the IPO or something.

I remember it looked really good for a PS3 game, I think the physics of the sand was a tech demo for the PS3’s dedicated physics chip or something like that.

One of my cats will headbutt me if I say “headbutt”, he’s like a pokemon or something. Hard enough that I can hear a thunk.

Replayed the Prime series a bunch, most recently the switch remake of Prime.

Great series, I didn’t like some of the dialog/cinematics of the third one but the gameplay was great.

Dread was really good, exceeded expectations. Final boss was hard I’m not sure I ever beat it.

Super Metroid was great but I’m not sure whether I ever beat Ridley.

I think I completed the remake though. Really hoping to see Prime 4 at some point, maybe on a new console.

I use Slack for personal projects and Teams for work. I think both are fine. The main reason it made sense to use Teams at work was because there were a number of products in use by different teams. IT had Slack and the rest had Zoom. Zoom was raising their costs and we already had Teams as part of 0365. So it was either buy Slack licenses for the entire company or just get everyone on Teams. It was kind of a no-brainer and it was hard to come up with a convincing argument to pay for Slack for everyone other than “Microsoft bad”.

I find it’s easier to explain this to people as “Southern conservatives used to vote Democrat, now they vote Republican”.

Yikes, yeah that’s another barrier to building that I didn’t even think of. I can see what you meant by “let us” build more.

Just another example of how building isn’t viable or affordable for everyone. My parents made the decision to build, but they also got the land long ago when the lot was cheap, and they did a large chunk of the work themselves including framing, wood floors, trim, doors, etc.

Eventually there will not be enough human workers creating training data for LLMS to hallucinate with, and they will just be training each other with more and more incorrect bullshit.

I do find GitHub CoPilot helpful to save typing, but last night it took me longer to track down the mistakes it made than if I had just did a combination of copy/paste + regex.

Or maybe part of the reason the prices are so high is that the price of building is also high with labor and materials cost increases?

Or maybe there is also a shortage of affordable, well placed, viable, empty lots to build on?

Why do they care what Hamas is armed with when they’re primarily killing civilians?

I’m curious what you’ve looked at? In New England and as a snowboarder, AWD and high range are both requirements and I’m not seeing anything cheaper than the Model 3 unfortunately.

Why not have a “no nipples” policy in general? I’m guessing that if parents think that their 7 year olds are going on Twitch to see boobs, they could lose some viewers.

But yes, policies should be applied equally.

I primarily use GitHub CLI to interact with the GitHub API, not Git. I don’t really see it as an extension of the Git CLI, which I use much more frequently. Everything you can do with it can also be done through their REST API.

I use it for things that aren’t really git features, like:

Syncing repository admin, pull request, and branch control settings across multiple repositories

Checking the status of self-hosted actions runners

Creating pull requests, auto-approving them

Just curious… In what way did Ross Perot come close to winning? I see that he got 8% of the popular vote in 1996 but I’m not seeing that he ever got an electoral vote.

If your goal is to have a third option to vote for, the best way to help is to support independent candidates on the right as well. If the fascist vote is split (say between Trump and Liz Cheney) then a vote for (Cornell West for example) is less likely to be a vote for fascism.

The immediate response to the war would probably have been the same, but another 4 years of Trump would have meant more time to inflame tensions in the region even worse with actions such as:

1. Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem
2. Withdrawal from the Iran deal
3. Assassination of Iranian generals

Etc

How do we fix it? Israel shot themselves in the foot by keeping the Palestinians divided and ensuring that a two state solution can not be viable. Therefore, the UN needs to step in and implement a one state solution. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank would be given citizenship and representation in a combined state. UN peacekeeping forces would have to fight against groups of terrorists (both Hamas and Israeli) who oppose this solution.

Israel has the right to exist, but no one has an inherent right to an apartied ethno-state. The combined state would have a more equal amount of Jews and Arabs, so the Israelis would be unable to oppress the Palestinians the way they currently do.

Is this a popular solution? No. Will anyone seriously argue that a two state solution is still viable and that Israel will work towards that? No.

The idea of a Palestine controlled by the UN was actually part of the original plan for the region that the British drew up, before they decided to use the Zionists as a convenient tool to screw over the Arabs.

The current state of affairs weakens the entire idea of the United Nations as a tool for preventing major worldwide conflicts. If Israel continues to get away with ignoring international law, and if the US continues to veto UN resolutions that seek to hold Israel accountable, it contributes to moving the world closer to WW3.

People will say that the situation is much more complicated than just “European colonizers oppress yet another group of brown people”. Fine, if that is true then that is a good reason why the US should not be taking one side over the other, and the US government should back out and let the UN do what needs to be done.

I wonder which borders have to be accepted, the 1967 borders? Genuinely curious… Whenever they expand settlements into the West Bank or annex parts of Gaza, do you have to re-certify that you accept their borders and right to defend themselves?

Part of the issue is that their sales pitch to get management to onboard is full of outright lies. They have one chart that basically shows that they are the leading cloud provider, beating out AWS and Azure.

As a software engineer I called them out on their bullshit right away. Sure, you can build pages on Salesforce, similar to SharePoint and some other CMS products, but it is NOT a platform that is truly competing with AWS or Azure.

Management still proceeded to go full hog into Salesforce as our “development platform” and pay consultants 300$ an hour to build shit solutions that should have just been built with standard languages on real cloud platforms. I left that dumpster file shortly after.

Now it almost seems like Salesforce is a joke in the industry, since many companies made those same mistakes and got stuck with huge bills and having to eventually back out. It doesnt help them that they basically priced themselves out of the CRM space, by trying to get you to build everything on their “platform”.

Live Nation apparently supports this bill, which is suspicious. Their statement in the article makes it sound like this situation is NOT their fault, when we know that it is. Seems real fishy to me, similar to Apple’s support for the right to repair bill that continues to allow them to screw over third party repair shops.
