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.

Keycloak might seem a little daunting to start with, but is basically glue between your idp (ldap) and whatever apps need to authenticate.

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.

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.

How many tokens fit in your context window?

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.

Understanding the context and motivations of the administration is critical in planning how to survive the next four years.

Ignore it at your own peril.

So the actual EO doesn’t call out H1B at all, so I’m guessing this is sensationalized as H1B is the most “visible” visa in recent news.

The context for this is likely the Moroccan national who recently committed a terror attack in Israel. He had a green card and that was supposedly part of the decision to grant him entry as a tourist to Israel.

That having been said, this will likely result in some international students getting deported whether deserved or not. Semi-intended consequences is what I’d call them.

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.

I think you’re over exaggerating the effort needed for tagging resources. Between terraform/pulumi/cdk and the tag tool, it’s relatively easy to make sure everything is tagged. Doubly so if you have a finance department who’s literal job is to go through and do that (or ask you for help with it)

You can get a full itemized bill. The only thing that isn’t fully broken out are elastic ips. We found that out because we were tagging everything for billing and those weren’t showing up correctly.

Mind you, it’s likely a bit more itemized than you want. Like you’ll see a separate line item for each price tier you paid for something, and things like ebs disks are all split out. It can be a bit…much.

When I was a young dev
My senior took me into the city
To push my code to prod
He said "Son, when you promo
Would you be the savior of the broken
The buggy and the OOM'd?"

My immediate thought is that Klinger will be happy.

Trump’s legacy will be long term damage to national security, rampant racism and discrimination, and widespread corruption.

One upvote is not enough.

I once wrote a commit message the length of a full blog post comparing 10 different alternatives for micro optimization, with benchmarks and more. The diff itself was ten lines. Shaved around 4% off the hot path (based on a sampling profiler that ran over the weekend).

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.

I hope you’re wrong about both Israeli territorial ambitions and the unwillingness of Hamas to release hostages.

How are the Egyptian media covering the news?

In all honesty, there are a few outcomes that are potentially worse if he is dead: Hamas splintering into many smaller factions, or treating him as a silent leader and refusing to release hostages because “he hasn’t ordered it”.

Hopefully Hamas will confirm and whoever replaces him will agree to release the hostages.
