Performance Improvement Plan. Basically HR collecting evidence so you can't sue after they fire you.

And here I was thinking that adding timezones for mars was going to be the biggest timezone headache in the next 5 years.

It is indeed one and the same. This is the post that triggered this article (warning: it's long and not well organized): https://blog.cr.yp.to/20231003-countcorrectly.html

Credit where credit is due, DJB is usually correct even if he could communicate it better.

According to starch cube theory, two pizzas stacked on top of each other is a cake, same as lasagna.

Dwarf Fortress almost made me fail a few courses in undergrad.

That is a game that redefines the concept of fun.

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.

Once the treaty is signed, the .io cctld will phase out over 5 years.

Unless ICANN get greedy and grant an exemption.

Ew no.

Abusing language features like this (boolean expression short circuit) just makes it harder for other people to come and maintain your code.

The function does have opportunity for improvement by checking one thing at a time. This flattens the ifs and changes them into proper sentry clauses. It also opens the door to encapsulating their logic and refactoring this function into a proper validator that can return all the reasons a user is invalid.

Good code is not "elegant" code. It's code that is simple and unsurprising and can be easily understood by a hungover fresh graduate new hire.

this could be better if it used subdomains to an evil extent - extract the main domain intended and use that:

google.com => google.phishy.pc-helper.xyz/whatever-bullshit-key-they-need

Bonus points if it works for any subdomain.

Extra bonus points for a subdomain that includes https and www (e.g. https.www.google.com.phishy.pc-helper.xyz)

Red circles are deprecated in favor of teal because of accessibility requirement WIP.DOnotUSE.14.g.2025.v0.

At this point, I'm half convinced these are intentional leaks as part of either disinformation campaigns, cover stories for other intelligence ops, or something like that.

It can't possibly be that expecting a bunch of obsessed 19 year olds to keep something secret would be unreasonable.

If you think the insanity stops here - you haven't heard of February 29th, 1900

Bottom rack retail workers distributing replica weaponry is hardly a good basis for a system of government

I'll try to stick to facts and not mix my opinions in:

• The area north of Wadi Gaza contains most of Gaza City, and several outlying neighborhoods.
• Best I can tell, the furthest point in the strip is 15km away from that line. Meaning this is requesting civilians to relocate by 5-20km within 24 hours.
• Hamas has built an extensive tunnel network underneath Gaza. These tunnels are constructed with reinforced concrete and are used to house both munitions and operational infrastructure.
• The US has transferred advanced munitions to Israel.

Now for my personal speculation:

• The advanced munitions are bunker busters.
• There is a significant risk of buildings collapsing due to the tunnels underneath being destroyed.
• The intent is to minimize civilian casualties both from the immediate airstrikes and from potential building collapse.

Obligatory xckd what if

Whatever you do, make sure that you learn legally and avoid those horrible sites that steal the hard work of researchers and prevent publishers from properly incentivizing academic research by allowing just anyone to download research for free. You know, horrible sites like LibGen, SciHub, or Anna's archive.

Totally disgusting sites that you should definitely avoid.

Clearly your gender field is a boolean. Which means it can be either true, false, null, or undefined. Except in javascript where for some reason it can sometimes be NaN, but only when you try to compare two people.

The headline is misleading. From the article:

Dror Eydar, Israel’s former ambassador to Italy ... who is also a columnist with the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom...

He is no longer in public service and does not represent Israeli interests in any official capacity.

...former Knesset member Moshe Feiglin...

He has not held public office since 2015.

Their statements are incredibly racist and dehumanizing, and have been condemned by the majority of the world. But they do not represent Israel in any official capacity. They are simply not newsworthy outside of documenting their existence on the off chance they reenter public life in the future.

I won't stoop to the New Arab's level of trawling for extremist wannabe politicians. I'll just look for a current Qatari public figure who are currently holding public office. That didn't take long.
