Where are we at on community understanding of the JFK assassination?

In this post-truth society, I have no idea what other people are thinking.

The JFK file were released recently and heavily redacted ("for protection of interests of US allies"), but I believe enough information was not redacted that implicated Israel connections with Jack Rubystein, etc. and it seems obvious to me as an outsider that there were three bullets from two or three different angles.

But my knowledge is only from Australian high school history class and some recent commentary. I have no idea what the Americans think or what the diehard historians think about it.

Intrigue and plot continues!

I would actually love for something like this.

I thought about making my own version, one where I could upload photos and videos, so that I could cross-reference.

"Look here's aunty Mel with uncle Roy. This was back in 1992, so it must have been in Brisbane" etc.

I have a complicated family history; immigration, DoCS, siblings put up for adoption, step parents with their own family tree, etc.

I have managed to retain some original photographs and letters, and would love to store them somewhere and begin to cross-reference them, so that I could see all the photos relating to one person, etc.

I've almost thought about getting some open source Facebook clone and using that.

(Edit: by coincidence, I just got a renewal reminder for the domain I bought for this project, maybe I'll kick the can for another year)

In the true business sense, you can see a need and fill a need.

But the thing to remember is that the other stakeholders have decided that it's not worth the investment for them. It might've upset others in meeting, but that's a temporary thing.

Especially when this is new fandangled software, they're not willing to risk the development costs just to make some front end.

You must look at yourself as another stakeholder in this business. You could ask for extra resources to build a front end and get more responsibility, but that's only if you can argue that it's worth it to the company as a whole.

Most employment contracts have some sort of line along the line of "All work you do this property of the company" anyway.

Usually the only way you can do this, is by making something on the down low and selling it to competitors

I can only assume that you have significant experience being a junior engineer

> you need to be competent enough to understand what is being generated

We're all competent enough to understand what is generated. That's why everyone is doomer about it.

What insights do you have above us when the LLM generates

    true="false"
    while i < 10 {
      i++
    }

What's the deep philosophical understanding that you have about this that makes us all sheeple for not understanding how this is actually the business's goose laying golden eggs. Not the engineers.

Frankly. Businesses that use this, drop all their actual engineers, and then fall over when the slightest breeze comes.

I am actually in favour, in a accelerationist sense.

In the age of hallucinations and AI summaries, actually getting news from the source is a revolutionary concept.

I guess describing ash as "the middle layers" is what helps bring the picture together for me.

The data/orm, I usually think of as a lower layer. Then you build domain on top and then interfaces on top of that.

I can see Ash be the middle layer, where you define the domain, (using nouns and verbs) and it pieces together the data and the interfaces.

This has been good to read and the pictures were very helpful, thanks.

I am a total noob, ok programmer but not a very good developer.

I'm coming to Phoenix with a Django background and I really enjoy what I've been messing around with so far, but I haven't done anything serious with it.

When I hear people say "ash is like an orm" then that fills me with dread. I actually come to enjoy how elixir/Phoenix/ecto has done things

If I'm trying to build something ie a news aggregator site (like hackernews ) - how would "make it in ash" help me? If it does things for me, does that mean I lose control of those things? Or they are hidden behind some macro magic that I have to pull apart to get to?

Dress for the job you want

This one was definitely funded by the poor. Good catch

I've seen backpacks with a fold out panel. You could probably imagine 3 panels = 90% charge in 1 week with no load.

But that pales in comparison to a phone getting depleted every second day

I think kakoune invented motion action keybinds, but Helix is the one popularizing it.

I love helix because it is very fast, it supports everything it needs to, and the built-in help/which key. It's what I wish vim was.

Shameless self-promotion of a discussion thread I started.

Same, chrome on Android as well

Redundancy is still "signal"

I don't think it's an argument of efficiency but rather the avoidance of noise.

The "ums" isn't redundant, it's not repeating or decorating the conversation. It's filler like static. Stops people from filling the gaps with their own thoughts

I actually LOVE making up words that fit. it's a little side game i like to play.

sometimes language has gaps. sometimes it's worth it to just invent a word to convey meaning.

if you've got nothing to say, you're just adding noise.

Roots of which started way back earlier than 2001 even..

I had a simple formula:

"I feel like I am contributing at least $X value to the company. If I am then it makes sense to pay me that, and if not I'd like to know how we can get there."

It starts a discussion and it's more honest: if I am not worth that much then tell me how I can be more valuable.

I have had a pay rise every year from this conversation but my company is very flexible and successful, so mileage may vary.

I find all other approaches to me gimmicky and tricks, and somewhat dishonest in some way.

As the other commenters posted, "yes, this is just meditation"

I think the real value of this post is that it's almost like discovering from first principles. Building up the knowledge bit by bit.

Thankfully it also provides a reference that can get past initial barriers and apprehension.. "meditation? Sounds too wooey" or "tried it, didn't work" are both I've heard often.

It could be the message that somebody needs.

> I doubt there's even the slightest difference in sports betting.

Cool. So it has positive effects on the city, without any negative effects on economic outcomes.

Cool. I'm in. Let's implement it everywhere

i think sms should be purely left to person-to-person communication.

i hate getting business sms

"which is to say, master" is the part we're talking about here. jesus isnt a modern day rabbi, but was a teacher in the classical sense. makes sense to me. thanks

That's fair. Thanks

> the first-century Jewish rabbi

I don't know why they put rabbi there. Jesus is later rejected by Jewish teachings and is probably considered heretical.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_Jesus

Although I really appreciate what Jesus adds to the religious stories as it opened it up to the world, in a sense of "everyone can be Christian" without the need for completely surplantting yourself with old laws and traditions (like circumcision).

I told my father-in-law about this, he didn't know anything about custard, but he pulled out a CD that he had of "Dave McCormack and the Polaroids"

Sure enough same guy, played at a pub down the road from us last year or so.

Very musically talented guy. It's so strange being a younger Australian and realising that we don't have to import fame/stardom from America. We got talent right here.

Closing the tab is enough, I don't think the "fuck them" is warranted.. fuck them for what? Not accepting less than $20?

Who gives a shit dude

"I care enough to cast $18 of my cold hard earned cash into a black hole for altruistic purposes, but nay shall it be $20, as I am but a humble mortal"

This is the animal kingdom. All is permitted.
