Nice hits!

If he wants to support Ukraine, this is a great way to start: “I spoke with Putin, he will not stop his invasion of Europe, we must make him stop” signs pending €90b EU package for Ukraine

Iran never pushed for nukes, it’s a lie made up to trick you.

“In February 2023, the IAEA reported having found uranium in Iran enriched to 84%…the Iranians have been openly enriching uranium to 60% purity, a breach of the 2015 nuclear deal.” Source that also contains a shitload more details and sources out the ass.

You generally enrich to 3% - 5% for nuclear reactors, with some designs asking for up to 20%. Iran enriching Uranium to 60% and 84% isn’t for reactors…

Yep. Other countries would attack Saudi Arabia if they enriched Uranium past reactor-grade. As you said, other countries don’t want Saudi Arabia having nukes.

Edit: Hell, even enriching just up to reactor-grade might be enough, as other countries would suspect they are going further. It’s one of the reasons many countries with reactors buy their Uranium from others and submit to regular checks. They don’t want any doubt about what the fuel is for.

The reason for the war is that the petrodollar is in decline

This isn’t a competing idea. In fact, this idea goes quite well with my point.

Nukes were never on the table.

Nukes are a major reason Israel was part of this (you certainly can’t argue Israel cares about the status of USD), and Israel being part of it was a major reason the US was. If you recall, shortly before the war, the US specifically struck Iranian nuclear enrichment and storage facilities.

Even if the US didn’t do anything in the future, others (most notable Israel) would put Iran’s nuclear ambitions back. No other country, least of all their neighbors, wants Iran to have nukes. Thus, Iran continuing to push for nukes ensures this war happens again.

I hope that Iran is just doing it as a stalling mechanism so that they can make strategic moves like actually acquiring nukes.

A major reason we had this war was Iran enriching Uranium for nukes. No country but Iran wants Iran to have nukes, least of all their immediate neighbors. Iran continuing to go for nukes in the future ensures this war happens again.

The new version of the program doesn’t seem much less confusing than the current system, as there are still a whole bunch of branches, sub-branches, and exceptions to rules

As I read more about the new system, this was my exact thought as well.

they do address the other major pain point of the Insider Program as it currently exists—the thing where you read about a new feature in a fresh Insider build, install that build to your PC, and then don’t actually see the feature on your system.

It was fucking crazy that was even a thing before…

accuracy is not a huge concern at the design stage

Then I doubt they are running the mentioned most accurate, two-week-long physics solvers at this stage either. You only do that when you need accuracy. A quick simulation doesn’t take long.

I’m failing to see why the creative writing machine is better than a simulation set to ‘rough’.

Apparently not, given the headline ends in a question mark. If he had, they would make the headline a statement.

Don’t worry about labeling yourself or otherwise over-complicating things. It’s not what defines you.

I’m generally the same way. If I made a contribution, there is either a bug that is annoying the shit out of me, or it’s actually preventing progress at my job somehow. Which means I pretty much only make drive-by contributions.

That said, there is a benefit to this from a human perspective. The drive-by fixes from people like me should improve over time as we do more of them. The same can not be said about a bot.

Hole in the bottom for poop.

This is actually just a really nice out-house.

Yeah, this wasn’t some civil war scenario. Iran was simply mass-murdering the people.

Apples are really, really fucking popular. It isn’t surprising they show up as a small minority on something like this. Macs have a pretty limited game library. But, if you already have a Mac and just want to play something from time to time, would make sense to install Steam and pick something up.

I doubt the Mac sales are very high per-capita though. Anyone who is into computer gaming is going Windows or Linux.

God damn. Truly, finally is the year of the linux desktop.

Bullet tracing is mostly a TV fiction. This headline is just the natural state of things.

Please stop asking because I am not telling anyone the reason.

Is it spiders? I bet it’s toilet spiders.

Jesus fuck that is bad. That PR should/would get rejected regardless of the code content. Would also consider further action against the contributor for spamming my repo.

I’m actually amazed at Microsoft’s audacity on this one. And that bar is already hard to clear for a company I have such a low opinion on.

Love these guys. Have one of their laptops and one of my friends recently ordered one as well. :)

in 2024, Azure Linux Platforms Group Program Manager Jack Aboutboul told me that 60% of Azure Marketplace offerings and more than 60% of virtual machine cores use Linux

From what I see above, mostly Linux.
