Ew siloing

They could inject random zero width non joiners to help detection too. Easy to defeat, but something a layperson would have to go through extra effort to filter out. Kinda like how some plagiarism cases have been won by pointing out identical misspelled words.

100%.Keychron keyboards are some of the best.

Well, Hamas kidnapped several hundred civilians from a music festival to use as hostages before Israel militarily invaded Gaza. Or is that fake news?

That's...Hamas doctrine. They use civilians as human shields to avoid western attacks. Israel is notably different in their approach where they have basically decided to ignore human shield attempts in order to more effectively counter Hamas. Arguably, if it never works and Hamas fighters get killed anyway, Hamas might stop doing it because being amongst civilians means there are a lot of people who can inform on where Hamas militants are and what they're doing. I suspect most civilians there support Hamas though, so it probably won't change Hamas doctrine.

In Afghanistan by contrast, the US worked with various tribal elders who didn't support al-Qaeda. This information allowed US forces to counter human shield tactics in those areas and fighters increasingly moved out to the remote regions so civilians couldn't inform the US where they were.

Actually he got a good deal. Those screens are more expensive because they don't come bundled with ad riddled toiletware, and they often have a longer lifespan to accomodate being on for so long every day. Depends on how much it got used already though.

He's just refactoring it

Sometimes I am happy about the increase in AI assisted coding specifically so junior devs won't get as stuck without outside help. Very frustrating when they don't reach out when they struggle, but at least they can privately copypaste into ChatGPT and get ideas. But, still requires a fine toothed comb when you're doing the review to know if any toilet tier material sprayed out.

I've always wondered why chalk and blackboard are still used heavily in professions like that. Are there really no decent software options? Even a smartboard would be nice since you can save and revisit past work. Or does artisanal Japanese chalk really just feel that amazing to use?

Which is faster, getting a squiggle instantly or discovering a silly bug at runtime later? So happy I could write code in Typescript and be confident it would do what I expected when it ran without digging out the debugger.

The language and its standard libraries lead developers towards common patterns. Javascript's standard library is pretty sparse excluding browser-only web apis, so there are tons of external libraries to fill the gap for better or worse.

Why do far right weirdos always have pinched, squashed little faces??
