One upvote is not enough.

I once wrote a commit message the length of a full blog post comparing 10 different alternatives for micro optimization, with benchmarks and more. The diff itself was ten lines. Shaved around 4% off the hot path (based on a sampling profiler that ran over the weekend).

Ew no.

Abusing language features like this (boolean expression short circuit) just makes it harder for other people to come and maintain your code.

The function does have opportunity for improvement by checking one thing at a time. This flattens the ifs and changes them into proper sentry clauses. It also opens the door to encapsulating their logic and refactoring this function into a proper validator that can return all the reasons a user is invalid.

Good code is not “elegant” code. It’s code that is simple and unsurprising and can be easily understood by a hungover fresh graduate new hire.

Most AIs are trained on older poster art like this - they’re well labelled, have consistent style, and because they’re older there are likely to be a bunch of duplicates in the training set.

Pretty sure this one predates AI art.

It’s from 1986

It’s Loss

If you’re aware of someone or a company violating sanctions, you can earn up to 20% of the fines as a whistleblower.

Considering the fines start from 100,000 per transaction, you could easily retire on a single report.

Locks are only held during system calls. Process termination is handled on the system call boundary.

You’re projecting windows kernel insanity where it doesn’t belong.

What the duck Microsoft bullshit is this?

There is no concept of locked files in extfs, much less inside the kernel. Resource locks and unkillable processes is some windows bullshit that no sane operating system would touch with a ten foot pole.

No need to wait. Here’s their statement: https://www.anera.org/press/anera-convoy-attacked-en-route-to-emirati-red-crescent-hospital-four-killed/

No Anera staff were harmed, though one Anera employee, who was in the second vehicle, witnessed the incident at close range.

Despite this attack, the remainder of the convoy continued its mission and successfully delivered the critical aid to the hospital. Anera has coordinated with the United Arab Emirates 24 prior shipments for the Emirati Red Crescent Hospital since May.

Considering that Hamas are holding bodies and hostages and demanding an end to the war in exchange for releasing the hostages, changes to that situation are quite relevant.

Are you communist left? Or socialist left? Or cryptoanarchist left?

Are you republican right? Or fascist right? Or tankie right? Or cryptocapitalist right?

If it’s off by one (center left instead of center, mixed instead of high) then just chill. It’s close enough. The point is to highlight the extremes, especially for when someone went headline shopping and posted some relatively unknown source.

Lemmy doesn’t have karma farming because it doesn’t have karma.

Accounts earn their reputation based on name recognition, not some artificial score.

I needed a laugh. Thank you.

Deif is dead. Haniyeh is dead. Something like 40% of all the senior leadership is dead.

The hostages aren’t keeping them alive, they’re putting them in the crosshairs.

Do you have a copy of the bridging proposal? I haven’t seen any actual text.

I have to say that this is the most color I’ve seen in months on the actual reasons why. On first read, it gives an understanding that both sides are willing to approach a deal - but lack trust in the process and the mediators ability to coerce the other side to actually commit and follow through.

A more cynical read (my second one) through this is that Hamas is still viewing civilian hostages as an asset and leverage. They are hesitant to get a six week ceasefire because they think they should get more than that for civilian hostages. Recent reports are making it clear that Hamas is executing the hostages. Whether as part of their negotiations, a breakdown in discipline, or just simple evil - the mediators have failed to impress upon Hamas the depth of their strategic mistake.

I wonder if this was some concession by Hamas as part of the negotiations

You got me. I was trying to bait you into saying that ethnic cleansing is obviously a bad thing and we should apply a consistent standard to avoid dehumanizing rhetoric.

So perhaps they can allow Israel to exist within US

It sounds like you’re suggesting ethnically cleansing Jews from the region. How is that any better than suggesting that all Palestinians be moved to Qatar or Iran?

The polling data also shows they overwhelming don’t consider what Hamas did on October 7th to be atrocities. They have demonized Israel so much that they dont consider Israelis human. People like you just spread that same dehumanizing message outwards.

Seriously. Stop and think for a few minutes about what you just wrote and flip the word Israel with Palestine.

There are no economic or diplomatic ties to cut. Saudi Arabia does not recognize the existence of Israel.
