That was fast.

The company didn't abandon, Microsoft bought them out indirectly and killed the competition. Nothing to see here.

More than 1,200 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank have been forced from their homes since the conflict started, according to rights groups and the United Nations.

Data gathered by activists and verified with satellite images by Al Jazeera's verification unit, Sanad, show that between October 2023 and January 2024, settlers in the occupied West Bank have built at least 15 outposts and 18 roads - illegal under both Israeli and international law. In addition, settlers built hundreds of metres of fences and multiple roadblocks, further limiting Palestinians' movement.

The unprecedented uprooting has led to the disintegration of at least 15 Palestinian communities so far, with Israeli settlers fast expanding their presence. Their goal, experts say, is to reshape the demography of the West Bank while breaking the backbone of the territory earmarked for a future Palestinian state.

ANTLR is for writing parsers. You don't need a new custom parser, just use an existing XML parser.

That's an odd definition of non-public if the information is available to everyone. More like annoyingly public.

Yes, but with things like syscalls it's easier to do this than require every high-level thing building on the syscall to be modified and recompiled. Very few people need to use such low-level APIs.

These include semgrep, ast-grep, LLMs, and one-off scripts. After running these tools on a large code-base, you usually end up with lots of additional unintended changes. These range from formatting/whitespace to unrequested modifications by LLMs.

Maybe LLMs do, but why would semgrep or your one-off script be making unrelated changes? This is like using sed to replace something and using grep to filter out the very things you just specifically modified. It should be unnecessary if you commit frequently enough and don't do 10 different refactorings before starting to commit each one.

Isn't that just drafts for that comment's reply?

Because I just saved a comment draft, went looking at something else and wanted to go back. The problem was that I couldn't find the right post/comment where I saved the draft.

I thought Boost saved that because going to reply to the same comment would automatically bring up the draft.

keep mum about energy use

Whose mum?

 

Am I blind or is there no way to view comment drafts? I recall this being possible in Boost for Reddit.

If I search settings for "draft" two things come up:

  1. The "Save drafts" option that I have enabled.
  2. Some "Drafts" under Lateral menu. But when I look there, there's no "Drafts" option anywhere to be found.

Visit takeout.google.com and select Google Podcasts to export your Google Podcasts data in OPML format.

I wonder when that became a thing. I migrated at the beginning of the year and had to manually add all subscriptions because Google Podcasts had no way of exporting anything.

I guess someone made a GDPR complaint.

This is the crucial detail that everyone is missing.

It's the same as with the Linux kernel GitHub mirror.

Now we know how much they're making with tracking and ads per user.

I might be the minority who was affected by this but how they handled the physical goodies last year was the last straw for me. Unlike all the spammy contributions that rush to it, I didn't rush creating some pointless PRs on the first day or whatever. My last PR finished its embargo period a few days before the end of October. They even sent out a congratulations email, but when I clicked the link and went to the website there wasn't anything there. Only when I checked their discord, I saw others with the same confusion and someone semi-officially saying they might've run out. It's obvious they didn't even ever consider running out and had no system in place to handle that.

Other than that, some of the rules they introduced in recent years were also so detrimental to meaningful PRs even though they thought it'd motivate that, instead of spammy PRs. Clearly that didn't work at all and actually had the opposite effect in some cases. It was a lot easier to get spammy PRs counted than meaningful ones.

I could rant in more detail about the latter if you're interested, but I'll refrain right now.
