Clearly you didn't take the axiom of choice. Because otherwise you could have chosen to not make that monstrosity

Google Docs is the worst IDE ever

BGP isnt just Turing complete, It's Cthulhu complete

real men write their code one bit at a time with a laser pointer and a fiber optic network cable

Or you could just use zig which is better at compiling C than C (the second it supports the espressif chips I'm never touching C again)

Squirrel vs snail - who wins?

I get very far by just keeping a set of folders for each piece of equipment in a git repo.

Pictures, etc, and sometimes the PDF manual if I bother.

The difficult part here is being consistent over time - making sure you mark down when you bought things, serial numbers, etc. a proper website/app will force you to do this, but there is flexibility in having whatever convention you like most

My favorite is from reading through a military analysis of the siege of Gondor, I learned that Tolkien included a reference to the Song of Roland

How very noble

Strongly agree. A guide for dead simple setups would be incredibly useful (e.g. gsuite as idp, oauth for a single app).

It took me a few days to get that basic setup working, and a few days more to improve it. But once it was up, it was rock solid.

Keycloak might seem a little daunting to start with, but is basically glue between your idp (ldap) and whatever apps need to authenticate.

FAKE!

Even children know that the sun isn't the center of the universe - it's Earth. Duh!

DOGE is not meant to cut spending. It is to systemically root out opposition within the executive branch and promote the business interests of Trump, Musk, and their cadre.

This is a distraction to keep you occupied while they do something far worse.

Many cloud providers (the cheap ones in particular) will put patches on top of the base distro, so sometimes root always gets a password. Even for Ubuntu.

There are ways around this, like proper cloud-init support, but not exactly beginner friendly.

Throughout my career, I have used (in no particular order)

• Eclipse (as Android Studio)
• IntelliJ (as Android Studio)
• SublimeText
• VS Code
• IntelliJ (as IntelliJ)
• various CLI editors when sshing into servers (vim, nano, a few others)

Switching your muscle memory takes a long time, which is why you have things like spacemacs, or different keybind presets for almost all of these editors.

There is more value in understanding how to extend and customize your editor than in searching for a new one. Use whatever your workplace provides the best support for, and then customize it from there.

How many tokens fit in your context window?

Having worked with data.gov extensively, this may be a huge nothing burger. The number of datasets fluctuates constantly, and ultimately the vast majority of those are just links to specific agencies. If you're lucky, they link the to actual data, but most of the time the link just goes to a landing page for the team that collected the data.

The project stopped running years ago, or I'd pull actual statistics on what was removed or if there's a shared keyword.

But running and syndicating articles based on two screenshots is not particularly useful. At least send in a FOIA request to find out which ones were removed.

Agree. The vast majority of people at those protests do not support Hamas as an organization and certainly not their methods. I simply believe they'll be accusing people at the rallies that did have Hamas/Hezbollah flags of guilt by association.

Yes. The narrow case is that if you express support for a designated foreign terrorist organization that is grounds for denying your visa, or revoking your status. So if you are on a student visa and went to a protest wearing a hamas headband and carrying the flag then you'll end up on a plane out of the US.

Where it gets iffy is the question about people who showed up to a protest and didn't know or see or agree with the hamas flags being flown there

Why choose self as the exemplar? It may be the "purest", but the list isn't based on "purest" or pascal would be the exemplar of structured languages.

At the very least, improve readability by moving the disclaimer from the last sentence of the section to the first.
