Trump’s coin dropped already.

Tl;Dr you’re declaring war on Lebanon.

Then just admit it, this bs dance is childish.

You’re either at war with them or the Lebanese are innocent bystanders where you have to minimize collateral damage, can’t have it both ways.

that can’t be employed at scale as readily

Well there’s your problem right there:

You’re concerned we can’t scale up arbitrary killings? Would you prefer something on a larger, more industrial scale, perhaps with large, gas-fueled ovens?

Killing should be hard, and it should be personal, not vaguely waving a hand in a general direction. You should know their name and hopefully have filled out a few forms beforehand.

If you want to kill somebody, when you aren’t at war with their entire country, then BE SPECIFIC.

Drone strikes that take out a known Al-Queda leader: ✅

Drone strike that takes out a random Afghan wedding: ❌

Ok, on the one hand, yes, blowing up Hamas is funny.

OTOH, this is not cool, bombing random people is a problem.

The US has this wonderful system called the Hellfire R-9X which is basically a flying slap-chop that ginzus a single target with 9 pop-out blades. Can we hand a couple over to the IDF and Mossad so they stop randomly blowing up parts of Lebanon?

It’s not killing Hamas that’s the issue, it’s the collateral.

Exponential funeral growth.

Russian cultural paranoia.

They cannot consider themselves safe unless they have a ‘perimeter’ around Russia.

The thing is: that needed perimeter is always growing, eventually your country becomes part of it, ask Poland and later east Germany, Afghanistan, and eventually, your country.

Got banned for saying Russia was committing war crimes in Ukraine.

As a comment to a AP story showing evidence of Russians committing war crimes in Ukraine.

Apparently that was ‘bigotry’.

This was 2 weeks after getting banned for threatening violence. For posting a NBC news article reporting on the Trump shooting. They reversed that on appeal, but I’m not appealing the second one, they’re just broken now.

Basically anyone can report anything and they don’t have anyone to review it so it’s easy censorship. Yet somehow the subs that actually threaten violence have no problems.

Their country, their responsibility.

The Germans learned that lesson the hard way.

Uhh, maybe 2 decades ago, they sold all those weapons on Wish.com, where do you think all those super-yachts came from?

This is beyond the pale.

But not surprising. Not for Russians.

Jesus, eq is life hijacking.

Try project Lazarus, it’s the best of eq without all the painful time consuming bs.

Phantasy star 4, though it’s still great to play now anyway.

Oh yeah, it’s a 3588, all out of tree, I’m very similar.

Yy3568 has most if not all of that, sata also and thats hard to find.

There are far worse things in the darkness than jira :( but yes.

That’s not the problem.

Software used to be an artisan job, a skilled engineer carefully sculpts a solution for a problem.

Management didn’t have much to add there, or visibility, this was a world-breaking problem for them, where was their value?

The solution was issue-tracking, make every line of code a bureaucratic nightmare, ensure panopticon-like visibility for everything, that guaranteed the manager was always in control.

Progress slowed to a crawl, that’s fine, you just need to hire more developers, hundreds, they scale, right?

Good programmers stick to startups because large companies are just well-paying torture firms. I wouldn’t go back to Google for any amount of money, but I’ll do a startup almost for free, because they let me write code.

Whoops, thanks my bad.

This has been a problem forever, the googleization of CS where everything is assumed to scale to gigabytes and therefore all that matters is big-O.

In systems that’s meaningless, what really matters is memory locality, loop placement, caching/lookaside and other features.

The JDk is an excellent example of both large scale and small scale optimization, the GC systems and much of the low-level features like locking use microoptimizations while the higher order data structure features use algorithmic optimizations.

Also, you can back up your dB to encrypted json and restore it later.

You only need 2 pairs for 100base-t, try forcing a lower negotiation, see if the pairs you need work? Maybe unbundle the other set of pairs and try them?
