Please share.

Your "very superficial explanation" is already orders of magnitude deeper than most people's understanding of the conflict.

Yes, but on the other hand biasing the models could be a way to influence reality.

As an engineering manager who's tasked with manually gathering a whole lot of metrics in the hopes that something jumps out that can then be improved, what would you say are the metrics that make the most sense?

As a former coder, I would say PR size (the smaller the better), automated test coverage, number of prod bugs, toil level (unplanned work, dealing with tools and environment issues) but also things like knowledge of the code base, level of collaboration, ownership of the process, org-wide collaboration and learning... Much of which is hard to measure but can be set as goals regardless.

Bravo. This is the right answer.

Breaking my own rule here, but whatever.

There's no need for a Jewish state per se. There's a need for a state for Jews, so they can live without fear of being persecuted, like they have been for hundreds of years.

Same reason there's a need for a Palestinian state.

During my relatively long life I've witnessed journalism morph from giving information to forming opinion. Sometimes they do it openly, sometimes they try to pass it as the context you mention.

I believe context is necessary now because of how fragmented people's attention is. We used to have 5 tv channels and two main newspapers and that was it. It was easier to keep the focus and remember the context back then.

Or, rather, we were all inside the same information bubble. Now everyone is in their own bubble, and there's no more common understanding of reality.

This conflict makes it super clear, because of its complexity and long history, that people don't have the time or bandwidth to understand the whole thing and end up repeating what they hear inside their bubble.

For example: your opinion is largely influenced by your location and your own history, much more than by the facts of the conflict. I come from Argentina, where most people support Israel, and I live in Ireland, where most people support the Palestinians. There's understandable reasons for that. Argentina suffered two Islamic terrorist attacks against local Jewish institutions, while Irish people identify with Palestinians because of the British oppression.

I personally live in my own bubble of course, we all do. I know my opinion is heavily influenced by my own history.

As a consequence I end up getting involved in online discussions where I argue for nuance and against simplification, but that just puts me on the "wrong side" of both "sides". So for my own mental health I've been trying to stop participating. I only wanted to chime in here because your comment seemed to capture some of what I think.

I'm saying fps because that's what the OP said they changed that caused the issue. But I guess you're right, he must have meant refresh rate.

No, I'm using the new projects (V2). Half-baked at best.

I wasn't being sarcastic, I do believe you. :)

Ok, I'll take your word for it.

It's rectangle, not in the app store but you can download it like bamboo said.

Ok, you know better. I had heard that the M2 was able to handle more external displays than the M1, but haven't tried it myself as in my current setup I can't even use one external display. Last time I was able to use external displays I had two, but I was using an Intel version.

Or maybe I don't care. I've never used a computer and thought "I need to change the fps".

Good question. The only answer I can come up with is gaming. If I was interested in gaming I would probably use a Windows machine. I am not though.

And that reason is?

I understand, and it's a bug, like the Mac OS is the only piece of software with a bug. Shouldn't be a reason to despise an OS.

I still don't see why you'd change the fps if not for gaming. Maybe I'm too old to notice any difference between 30 and 60 fps when scrolling through a website... IDK.

I've never changed the fps. Why would I do that? It's not a gaming machine.

I've recently changed jobs and my new company uses GitHub for everything, including "projects", its wannabe kanban boards, and I'm truly appalled at how bad they are. They've been out for many years, yet they lack the most basic features, like a decent API, or hierarchical relationships between tickets, or a simple integration between the board and the ticket status... Like what are they thinking!?

Yeah, GitHub has some issues alright.
