I would gladly buy any other laptop with a TrackPoint. Got any recommendations? This is not sarcasm I donated to https://community.frame.work/t/thinkpad-keyboard-mod-super-e... because I really want it to happen.

Minor point: classes are using the same syntax but you are right they typically won't work because the constructor have changed, in PHP4 it was a function named the same as the class, in PHP5 and on it's __construct, the PHP4 version was deprecated in PHP 7 and removed in PHP 8.0.
create_function is just gone. So is each(). Oh and HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA. The list is long.
If you have used == and in PHP4 we did that, come on, don't be holier than holy and claim you only used === in PHP4 then PHP8 will have some surprises for you.
In my experience rector became usable last year-ish, if you tried before, give it another whirl.
Honestly? All the better. There are obviously use cases where AWS is the right tool for the job but it's extremely rare. It's coasting on hype and somehow attaining "no one was ever fired for buying IBM" status.
It's really not practical.
This algorithm is not practical.
What it actually is a negative sum game and all such are inherently scams.
The only disagreement is about whether the differences to a Ponzi is insignificant or are significant and we have a new kind of scam, a "Nakamoto scheme".
It is in the interest of those who bought in to praise the game because the only way they can profit is by praising it and passing their loss to a greater fool.
And no, gold and stocks are not such. Gold has buyers who create value added products (electronics, jewelry and so forth) and stocks can create dividends. None of that happens for any crypto with transaction fees.
as the grandson of two concentration camp survivors: I'd call that a nightmare and I don't think it's so far from reality you'd hope for.
Also, the Analects use a very different version of the Golden Rule, much more a prohibition than a moral standard: what you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others. But roughly around the same time Egypt and Greece also had this thought recorded and it's somewhat hard to believe this was due Confucianism spreading like wildfire. Thales used this in ~624-546 where Analects is later than that.
Let me advertise git blameall from https://github.com/gnddev/git-blameall here's a part of Drupal index.php: https://i.imgur.com/Xw4OAEC.png
Also, my own creation which provides a safety net against git reset --hard https://gist.github.com/chx/85db0ebed1e02ab14b1a65b6024dea29 AFAIK this trick is the only way to override a built in command.
Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought this was only the reason for the predecessor of it on the PDP-7: Thompson wanted Space Travel to run on the PDP-7 and the necessary boilerplate became a rudimentary OS. But porting this to the PDP-11 was not motivated by Space Travel -- or was it?
I am surprised people are so quick to write Intel off. Not yet. Wait one year. Gelsinger said he bet the company on 18A. If PNL fizzles and there are no foundry customers this time next year then Intel is done but until then?
I have no idea what would I want to ask from leadership. They are so far removed from me.

The age peak is at 40-49 years. Indeed it's much higher in women but also even higher in transgender and bisexual people. It's almost as if stress from constant microaggressions makes you more susceptible to illness. What do I know, of course, I am not a doctor.
Then you fix the bug? If your team can't then pay a consultant who can? Isn't it open source? What did I miss?
this is dangerous talk.
it doesn't understand anything at all.
Reminder: We are more prone to anthromorphizing LLMs than to humanizing suffering humans.
That's an odd way of putting it, as if crypto scams were limited to the US.
Guns are pretty much irrelevant to the story, that's my point
The focus of the story is an AI chatbot murdering a human
Well, that's not the right words, we do not even have the right words for this because murder presumes intent and obviously there's no intent
An automated plagiarism machine has spewed such bullshit which pushed a teen to suicide. Perhaps that's the right wording.
Because the OFAC literally prohibits a US person receiving anything at all from a sanctioned person.
Can't find the specific sanction but here's a typical sample from https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1102
> All transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or blocked persons are prohibited unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt. These prohibitions include the [...] receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Note: for both "U.S. persons" and "blocked person" also consider corporate personhood. It's not just individual people. And so the Linux Foundation, Linus himself and every Linux user in the U.S. can't receive anything at all from the sanctioned so it's no wonder they needed to be excluded.
You are welcome to lobby the OFAC to carve out an exemption for open source contributions. Or the White House or the Congress, what do I know who has the authority to write such.

> If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.
That's all.
Both could've been handled better but there's no need to write ten thousand open source philosophy comments on the issue itself, bad articles and HN comments.
Yeah, that's the problem. Tech bros high on the AI kool-aid think the problem is not the chatbot driving him to suicide but having access to a gun.
