No one cares about whether or not they use a dashboard to track signals intelligence data. The interesting part of this story is the unpublished assassination weapon, not how they selected targets.

It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help

Did it?

It’s not, that’s a you and your partner thing. Healthy relationships have space for independence and personal hobbies in them.

A significant other should not prevent you from enjoying your hobbies.

Most of the people I know who don’t have kids and ‘don’t have time for gaming’ in reality just have a significant other who looks down on gaming and makes them feel bad about it when they do.

if you don’t have kids, you should have plenty of time for video games.

If you do have kids that can become harder to justify.

Honestly might be worth talking to a professional, but my gut wonders if this is really about the new kid, or about his current relationship with you?

Jealousy is a normal emotion, but it often rages when we feel self conscious, neglected, or unloved.

His traitor comment (especially when his mom has never been in the picture), really makes it seem like he feels like you’re not fathering him in a way that he expects or he feels like something is missing and now your attention will be even more focused elsewhere.

Lmao, this is hysterical nonsense.

Hey everyone on Windows, is your machine filled with thousands of shady app stores because you have the ability to install Steam? No? What a shocker! Who could have predicted!

I do wonder if Russia was planning on responding with these, and this is why they issued a ‘we’ll respond when we feel like it’ follow up.

Sort order for comments isn’t consistent across instances or apps or users or time.

It’s an example of a feedback system.

If people actually want to understand how most systems in life work, they should take sociology and various humanities and science courses, but everyone should take a course on mathematical Systems Analysis including feedback loops and transfer functions.

Virtually every system we encounter in day to day life, from biological ones, to sociological ones, are feedback loops, and understanding the nuances and complexities of how they work, how to analyze them when cause and effect is circular, and how their output changes and can stabilize, destabilize, oscillate, etc. makes a lot of things less confusing.

Feedback circuits can be used to make amplifiers that amplify or deamplify a signal a certain amount, they can be used to make amplifiers that amplify rapidly to catastrophic of explosive failure, or dampeners that will try and reduce any signal to nothing, they can be used to make oscillators that pulse rhythmically at a certain frequency and are the heart of all clock circuits, or they can be used to always hold a steady output regardless of disturbances to their inputs like in gyroscopes and control systems and governors that always try and stay on target… And these are just simple feedback systems created out of a few components by humans, nature’s feedback systems that have evolved over billions of years are wildly more complex.

Circular systems like this can’t be examined through traditional cause and effect logic chains, but they can be analyzed as a system as a whole.

The developer I report to was in charge of that side of the code base and doing all the code reviews for it … I thought he had a handle on it :/

We have linting set up in our codebase, I had to switch and focus on one half of our project, and I nearly lost my mind when I came back to the other side and realized that every time someone said they were ‘addressing linting issues’, that actually meant they were putting eslint-disable everywhere until the pipeline stopped complaining.

It’s Canadian but I use EasyDNS which has operated here forever. It’s privately owned by a Mark Jeftovic who’s fairly well known as an internet advocate / policy expert and ran as a candidate for the Libertarian Party of Canada, so is privacy focused.

This is a really good interview, and does a good job highlighting Javascript’s biggest strength: it’s flexibility.

“It was also an incredible rush job, so there were mistakes in it. Something that I think is important about it is that I knew there would be mistakes, and there would be gaps, so I made it very malleable as a language.”

He cites the “discovery” of asm.js inside of JavaScript, calling it “another thing I’m particularly proud of in the last 10 years.” It uses the bitwise operators that were included in the original JavaScript which are now the basis for a statically-typed language with machine types for high-speed performance. “If it hadn’t been in there from 1995, it would’ve been hard to add later. And the fact that it was there all along meant we could do incredibly fast JavaScript.”

He tells InfoWorld it’s “this very potent seed that was in the original JavaScript from the 10 days of May in 1995.” JavaScript’s 32-bit math operators (known as bitwise operators) trace their lineage all the way back to the C programming language — and to Java. This eventually led to WebAssembly — a way to convert instructions into a quickly-executable binary format for virtual machines — and the realization that with a JavaScript engine, “you can have two languages — the old language I did with the curly braces and the functions and the shift operators, and this new language which is a binary language, not meant for reading by humans or writing. But it can be generated by compilers and tools, and can be read by tools…”

Why is this mildly infuriating?

A farm animal killed a wild predator who was preying on other farm animals. That sucks, but it’s also a reality of us producing food.

It’s remarkably light on details about the coerced / forced labour.

It just mentions that they ship in thousands of workers from the western regions of China where there are forced / coerced labour issues.

I’m not one to trust or believe the Chinese government, but this article didn’t exactly convince me there was an issue in the first place.

Edit: never mind, I missed the link to this article which has a lot more detail: https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025-05-29/chinas-economy-runs-on-uyghur-forced-labour

Most overrated language imho. I actually enjoy Java more.
