The Nakba is not without prior history either. It's simply the most complex sociopolitical issue on Earth today, if not ever in human history, it can't be "summed up" in some hot take.

I don't think this "claim to land" works in the modern age. Countries were established and fought for in blood all thorough history, and the winners kept their land. End of story. Unless we are talking about some remote villa

"The Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group.." From Wikipedia. You are absolutely wrong here, it is as much an ethnicity as it is a religion. "Palestinian" didn't mean anything before, it's just the name of

Would you be okay with being responsible for the never before seen bloodshed that would result in, with millions of innocent people dying as the direct result of your actions?

Maybe the "solution with the lowest Kolmogorov complexity". In a sibling comment, I replied that usually a repeating pattern can also be applied, but that one usually requires storing the n-sequence, rarely making it the shortest

This is exactly what I hated about these kind of questions!! Or just, the pattern simply repeats for the n next number.. like come on, there is no objective metric for which rule is "better".

The implementation details don't matter. LLMs not being able to properly reason though is a fundamental limitation and no amount of re-running will help.

But it's not itself, it's an array of characters. It's AST can be represented as simply as a recursive list data structure (with a head and a tail), but I think this is a bit over-mysticized.

Well, foreign projects communicating with each other is always ground for a mess, but this is not an either-or question. Also, your mileage may vary based on the niche you are working on - in case of, say java, the initial setup of the buil

More like there were actually multiple vendors that would have to agree on a common thing, but they died out so the single leftover can do whatever it wants...

Miro board is simply unusably slow, but plenty of other commonly used websites have annoying breakages, like login screen not actually logging in and the others.

> Or they could do what Brave, Vivaldi and others do and simply use Chromium as a base. Don't you even see the problem?! Even Microsoft dropped out from developing a web browser, it literally has a larger scope than a whole OS. But

Sure. Continuing my analogy to the British empire's rule over the seas has also surely resulted in technological improvements, but that is not the only way to achieve that. For a more practical example, Linux is also developed mostly b

Try using a miro board. Unfortunately many sites have started breaking under Firefox, and it's a shame that web devs don't test under the 3 remaining browser, at least on a surface-level, before release. It's not like support

by kaba0 2y ago
So why are those standards impossible to keep up with and we already see plenty of sites break under Firefox? Which by the way is the only independent browser remaining in game, even goddamn Microsoft leaving the domain behind?

I do mostly agree with grandparent, but not with your take. What is the problem with government regulating, say, the ingredients that can be used in foods, forbidding addictive drugs from being added to them? Or selling drugs that are compl

I think what people fail to see is that this is the same as "owning the sea by the British Empire" or "owning the railroads/roads". The economical benefit is not direct monetary gain, but nonetheless absolutely huge

Both. My phone could easily serve thousands of concurrent users.

The second point is absolutely fair and your project is very cool and impressive, but the speed one is misleading. I am fairly sure you actually leave a fair bit of performance on the table simply by how convoluted parallelism and async IO

Still, why would I want to write C? Then use a script language with similar memory semantics, PHP started out exactly that way, if I'm not mistaken.

Hi, is there some further info on iOS "internals" like this? I was always interested in how it works, but I found much less information compared to android (which obviously makes sense given one is more or less open-source), even

Well, generics are mostly meant for library code. Just because you don't need it, doesn't mean that code you use doesn't need it.

Given human events, he was not wrong in that conclusion. (If we even consider ourselves super intelligent)

I believe we were only the 3rd most intelligent on Earth, or something like that? Both dolphins and mouse being more intelligent.

I mean, CPUs do a bunch of work to make us believe they still operate just as a fast PDP-11, and I would wager that besides compiler experts that work on the backend parts of compilers, not many people have a real feel for modern hardware

My point is that even that little can sometimes lead to less pleasant experiences, like stepping half a function's body ahead.

Logging can change timing issues though. There are too many cases where an added log statement "fixed" a race condition, simply by altering the timing/adding some form of synchronization inherent in the logging library.

by kaba0 2y ago
Why not both? For any sufficiently complex app you will have some form of logging either way, and then you can further pinpoint the issue with a debugger. Also, debuggers can do live evaluation of expressions, or do stuff like conditional b

I mean, even then c/CPP will optimize out stuff and you won't get as nice one-to-one mapping as you do with eg. Java.
