I would be very surprised if the majority, or even a significant fraction, of those who are on the "Israel" side were observing Jews. Jews are probably a minority of Israel-supporting commenters, and observing Jews are, in my expe

Yes `uv` is great but using it to manage dependencies in an AWS Lambda Docker container is really not as simple as using pip or poetry.

Funny that this "proud Mexican" has such a long story to tell but zero proof to show. Neither he nor his girlfriend were able to record any of that while sitting comfortably in their car?

The funny thing is that it's impossible to know which side you belong to just by reading this one comment.

Not really? These people will simply disregard the clips, claiming they are a piece of right-wing propaganda, and that the protest are peaceful, because how could it be otherwise? Of course fighting ICE, feds, and helping criminals (in some

Nice write-up but to be honest, just use CDK and you'll be good.

What kind of performance gains can you get from that? Seems to me that 99.9% of the compute happens remotely.

As a parent of several kids, I have no idea what is the use case for this. When does it ever happen that a kid too small to be safe by himself has to be let alone, with a camera to record him? My eyes are a good enough camera, and my brain

It's preventable by closing your eyes, but you need to be very persistent. Some people manage to keep their eyes closed for decades, which I find impressive. The rest of us just come to terms with reality.

In Europe beauty freelancers are not really a thing, those who do it at home are typically immigrants who ask for lower prices and get paid under the table (meaning they don't declare it to taxes). On the other hand, beauty salon manag

I do the same with a small math problem and so far only Qwen3 got it right (tested all thinking models). So your mileage may vary, as they say!

Are you talking about deadlift? If so, there's literally tens of thousands of people who can deadlift 120kg (and much more) at your bodyweight. Definitely achievable with a bit of training.

I agree with you. The opposite opinion sounds psychotic and paranoid to me.

Not enough. Some immigrants come and stay to commit crimes.

Very poor take. The author clearly has very limited experience with raising kids. Most kids won't do difficult things if you don't push them. Playing music, learning to spell correctly, doing mathematics, and so on. A very small m

Impressive work! I did my share and added one billion verified numbers to your total, now you just need to get (almost) another billion of people to do the same and you'll achieve your next goal!

ChatGPT is very informal and talks like a millennial when I ask questions in French. I hate it.

This is a well-known fact with a well-established genetic basis. For pretty much any trait, the standard deviation of the distribution for men is larger than the distribution for women.

I agree with you that for such an application, Python is probably not the right fit.

I am not saying the author's remarks are not interesting, but they live in a vacuum. For most projects, the resources spent on the "serving" part of your web service are a small portion of the actual expenses. In many cases,

I had many meetings with our Indian counterparts at a previous company, where honestly I don't think anyone on either side really understood what the others had been saying. Our European accent was probably as hard to decipher for them

There's a very simple math question I asked every "thinking" models and every one of them not only couldn't solve it, but gave me logically incorrect answers and tried to gaslight me into accepting them as correct. QwQ s
