They dont have to do anything but wait. Its only a 2 week ceasefire.

And no way US stops bombing them unless they open the strait (I say US because Israel doesnt care about the strait). I think such an agreement is plausible. Trump really cares about oil prices, and i imagine Iranian leadership would really

Its only a 2 week ceasefire. Maybe after 2 weeks the sides stay settled down. Maybe they go back to shooting each other. I wouldn't call it over yet. As far as the geopolitical consequences of all this, i think its still pretty unclear

Really stupid question from someone who doesnt know much about io_uring. Wouldn't doing all this i/o async make the latency measurements less accurate? How do you know when the i/o starts if you are submitting it async in bat

> see for example DES's 56 bit key size In fairness, that was from 1975. I don't particularly trust the NSA, but i dont think things they did half a century ago is a great way to extrapolate their current interests.

Maybe this is a cultural difference, but i would generally consider it incredibly rude for a random person to interupt someone trying to enjoy their meal. A resturant isn't a singles mixer.

by bawolff 7mo ago
Of course not, but its also not an exclusive experience you can only get at resturants. And quite frankly noisey busy resturants are a subpar place to have that sort of experience. Most people who want to do that sort of thing go to a park

Do you commonly carry those around with you? I'm not mistaking a resturant for a library, i just want to kill time until my food comes out. Is there a reason why someone sitting by themselves reading a book on the e-reader app on their

Can you be specific what you mean by that. Are you just saying if you are alone you should go to other resturants? I mean, sure that is true, but that logic would also apply to a resturant that spits in your food.

What experience are you expecting in a phone-free breakfast joint if you are there by yourself? Interupting other patrons meals to randomly talk to them? That sounds kind of like hell.

by bawolff 7mo ago
Phone free resturants if you're eating alone sounds kind of miserable. Sometimes i want to read something while i wait for my food to come out.

Agree 100%. If you are doing it yourself shoot for the moon. If you want other people to work on your idea, then yeah you better be able to explain to those other people why the result would be worth it and why the approach is viable (or pa

Open source bug trackers tend to not appreciate people who just want them to implement someone else's idea without the other person putting effort in. That is true for both good and bad ideas. Its like going up to a tech person at a pa

If your idea is so in its infancy, that you can't explain its business case to people, even just hypothetically, than its too young to share. Ideas are cheap. Everyone has them.

Meh, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. You shouldn't listen to every nay-sayer. Sometimes criticism is not convincing and it can be a skill separating out useful criticism from unconvincing criticism. How

No doubt. But it still seems like a bizarre strategy. They can't shoot the people they want so they just shoot these other randoms.

I imagine the same reason they have a data center in places like Sao Paulo. More locally centred businesses want the low ping, and AWS wants to be your cloud compute provider of choice no matter where your target audience is.

I do think there is some irony that the Iran war took down all the AWS datacenters in the middle east except the one (or 3 i guess) in Israel, which is still chugging along. Like as a strategy its kind of weird. Iran plans to force Israel t

There is something fascinating about someone getting a copy of Encyclopedia Brititanica, reading about trees, and then going to Wikipedia for pictures and to fill out details.

On the other side of things, i've seen plenty of examples where technical people try to manage things despite having no administration experience and screw it up.
