  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thousands of datasets from Data.gov have disappeared since Trump's inauguration. What's going on?

  • 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.

  • I don't think we're having the same conversation.

    This EO is about going back over the visa documents for people who entered legally and reviewing them based on a changed standard.

    The article is badly written with a sensationalized headline. The EO is written in standard legalese, and only related tangentially to the article. H1Bs likely don't need to worry too much, but postdocs on that visa who went to a protest may need to reconsider their political activity. The fact that CAIR is quoted should give you a hint as to how this EO is expected to be applied - towards international students on F1 visas - specifically those who have taken part of campus demonstrations involving symbols from foreign terrorist organizations (Hamas flag, Hezbollah flags, etc).

    Beyond that, it may be used as a stick against postdocs working on politically charged topics like climate change.

    Israel military is checking possibility it killed Hamas leader Sinwar

    The Israeli military said on Thursday that it is investigating the possibility that it has killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, one of the masterminds of the devastating Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war.

    At this stage, his identity cannot be confirmed, said the military.

    Hamas has not commented on the fate of Sinwar, who was recently elevated to paramount leader of the Palestinian militant group.

    Family confirms death of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin

    The family of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin announced the young man’s death early Sunday, ending a relentless campaign by his parents to rescue him that included meetings with world leaders and an address to the Democratic convention last month.

    Goldberg-Polin, 23, was seized by militants at a music festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7. The native of Berkeley, California, lost part of his left arm to a grenade in the attack. In April, a Hamas-issued video showed him, his left hand missing and clearly speaking under duress, sparking new protests in Israel urging the government to do more to secure his and others’ freedom.

    Israelis stage heavy airstrikes in Lebanon and Hezbollah launches drone attack on Israel

    Hezbollah has launched 320 rockets at Israel in the last two hours, alongside at least dozens of drones, but no exact number on the drones. Those numbers are based on a single source, so please take the number with a grain of salt - this source is generally correct, but it is a single source publishing those numbers.

    2 injured so far, and extensive damage to civilian homes and infrastructure.

    From the photos on twitter, it looks like it hit the only soccer field in town, landing between the field and the playground next to it. Hezbollah first claimed the attack, but now that there are 10 kids dead, and another several dozen kids injured they've backpedaled on it.

    Israeli airstrikes target Yemen’s Houthis day after deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv | CNN

    “A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the area of the Al Hudaydah (Hodeidah) Port in Yemen in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the state of Israel in recent months,” the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

    The strikes on Hodeidah came a day after a drone attack in Tel Aviv killed one man and injured at least 10 others.

    Air attack leaves 1 dead, at least 10 injured in Tel Aviv

    injuring at least 10 people and leaving one dead

    Yemen’s Houthis have repeatedly launched drones and missiles toward Israel throughout the nine-month-long war, in sympathy with Hamas. But until Friday, all were intercepted by either Israel or Western allies with forces stationed in the region.

    AP for what ever reason have decided that noone has claimed responsibility, yet include several paragraphs about the Houthis.

    From Reuter's coverage:

    The military spokesman of Yemen's Houthi militants, which like Hezbollah are backed by Iran, said on the X social media website that the group would reveal details about a military operation that targeted Tel Aviv.
