Israel's high court orders the army to draft ultra-Orthodox men, rattling Netanyahu's government ( apnews.com )

Israel’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled unanimously that the military must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men for compulsory service, a landmark decision that could lead to the collapse of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition as Israel continues to wage war in Gaza....

It's "world's smallest violin" where I'm from. Are there regional/cultural variations on this saying?

deadbeef79000 ,

LoL.

The glockenspiel thread was worth it though.

deadbeef79000 ,

Isn't that a cello?

deadbeef79000 ,

Good.

Regardless of what crimes he committed or not or whatever, the extraordinary extent of his persecution was purely political revenge for airing dirty laundry.

Frankly, he is supremely lucky to have not had an "accident" already.

NVIDIA spent many many years doing a very very poor job of providing drivers for Linux.

Many people have not forgiven them for that.

Inshallah

It's not very typical.

El Reg pulls no punches.

Obviously the incorrect ones.

If China can't read the room, it is the room's fault for being counter-revolutionary.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

It's not directed at you or me or most others, it's a rallying cry to his supporters.

I'd call it a dog-whistle but he said all of it out loud.

Adobe's Employees Are Just As Upset at the Company As Its Users: Report ( petapixel.com )

Adobe’s employees are typically of the same opinion of the company as its users, having internally already expressed concern that AI could kill the jobs of their customers. That continued this week in internal discussions, where exasperated employees implored leadership to not let it be the “evil” company customers think...

deadbeef79000 ,

Remember: in most cases the c-suite consider you merely as resources(human) a source of labour.

To them employees are things.

Customers are just a revenue source, they are also just things.

CEO's are just chasing their next quarterly performance bonus.

I use IPv6 at home, I selected my last few ISP's because they had IPv6. Left one ISP when they removed IPv6 🤦‍♂️ .

If you can choose ISP choose one that offers IPv6 and let them know why.

Take an article from a reputable publisher, an article for a subject that you are expert in.

Read it and make note of facts they got right and got wrong.

Now apply that same ratio to articles where you have little or no expertise.

These guys are just speed running th at to its inevitable end.

deadbeef79000 ,

Psychopathy.

To get that rich, one needs to be able to think of other people as things. "Human Resources" as such.

If other people are things then there's no moral problem "decommissioning" them be it redundancy or killing.

What would make her evil is, if knowing this, she makes no effort to mitigate it. Given she's a billionaire: evil.

That's actually filtering not sorting.

That being said, it's more valuable (to me) to be able to find all my things for a topic quickly rather than type.

Foo_dialog

Foo_action

Foo_map

Bar_dialog

Bar_action

Bar_map

Is superior IMHO.

deadbeef79000 ,

Meh, a class is just a struct of function pointers.

deadbeef79000 ,

Depends on the language's constraints, but yes: more smaller files please!

deadbeef79000 , (edited )

We probably have slightly different work processes.

I'm more likely to be making "foo" functionally complete and then making "bar" complete than I am to be making all my dialogs functional then all my tabs/whatever.

This comes from TDD where I'm making a test pass for "foo", once done, I'll do the same for "bar".

Though it's even more likely these are different files entirely, rendering the arguments moot.

deadbeef79000 ,

... I think that was an application of Godwin's Law.

As in the NAZIs had genetic purity fanatics.

deadbeef79000 ,

Yup. Even my supposedly egalitarian country had relatively recent legislation ensuring "white" immigration.

Apparently it was a surprise to the government of the time that Indians some Pacific islanders were British (at the time) and that upset some people who equated "white" and "British".

A moose once bit my sister

My hovercraft is full of eels.

Or didn't and simply flouted the law.

There's a stereotype of people who own those breed(s) for a reason.

deadbeef79000 ,

Yeah I saw that but found it strange that it seemed to distinguish between registered dogs and certified owners.

deadbeef79000 ,

Catharsis.

deadbeef79000 ,

"hoe".

deadbeef79000 ,

Not while you're in a plane it isn't.

deadbeef79000 ,

I really don't like that underscore.

deadbeef79000 ,

I quite like "Pop!OS".

Or perhaps a play on IBM: OS/Pop!

Now that I think about it. It's just the !_ being beside each other that bugs me: OS_Pop! is cool.

deadbeef79000 ,

I'm reasonably sure it's the popping sound you make with your mouth oh ess.

deadbeef79000 ,

No, your thinking of RHEL which is danish for "redhatsegregiouslicensingbullshit".

deadbeef79000 ,

Gentoo enters the chat

deadbeef79000 ,

It's the only way to be sure

deadbeef79000 , (edited )

No that's Thorin, your thinking of a sharp growth on the stem of some plants.

deadbeef79000 ,

I'll go give you a hint: you made some crap CPU's and rather than binning them as lower spec'd units you sold them as is and then claimed they were performance units.

This meant that the spec overhead that previously MB manufacturers relied on to stretch the performance wasn't there anymore.

TL;DR: greed

deadbeef79000 , (edited )

I personally try to support the underdog, so AMD when it comes to x86.

Intel also refuses to provide Vulkan drivers for older CPU's iGPU's to drive consumers towards buying new systems, which I considered a dick move, and upgraded that laptop with an AMD based replacement.

We bought three 13900's for workstations at work, got burnt with two of them, bought 7950X3D's instead for the next three.

So, if you're set on Intel (which is your prerogative) ask someone else ;-)

deadbeef79000 ,

In the last few years, IMHO, single core performance has been irrelevant (for me personally and professionally).

Almost everything can be parallelized, it's just a bit harder to implement.

I've found disk I/O to be the biggest bottleneck recently, PCIe 5.0 NVMe has done more for speed than an extra few MHz have in years.

deadbeef79000 ,

Straight from the Boeing book.

Welcome to the guild of calamitous intent!

An old employer of mine that I fired was full to the brim of people who genuinely thought that nine women could make a baby in one month.

Like techies we pointed out that nine women could average one baby per month if that what they wanted over nine months but it requires another nine months of planning first.

They didn't get it. Just kept hiring fixed term contractors to "increase velocity".

The worst port of it was when my team was just the small internet hippy department that no one took seriously we never had these problems, then we got promoted to "proper department" and lost everything.

IIRC the Empire State Building was built "agile".

We'll keep adding floors until there's only enough money left for the roof.

Something about making things in that early 20th C. period of the USA was amazing.

deadbeef79000 , (edited )

I said "this is my contract mandated notice period, starting today".

deadbeef79000 ,

Urgh. I just sicked in my mouth.

Die in a hole DI frameworks.

I already have an injection 'framework' it's called a constructor. I already have a factory it's called new

deadbeef79000 ,

I just DI all the time, it's called a constructor.

It came over the wire as text! How did you turn it into that?

Gold.

Tens of thousands of civilian casualties is the price we are willing to pay for a strategic military asset the the middle east.

After all, tens of thousands of civilian casualties is the price we are willing to pay for the 2nd amendment.

We'd be hypocrites otherwise.

-- US Congress, probably.
