A fun story about the origin of some of PHP's first function names. The hash function in the table for function names in the interpreter was strlen(), so names were chosen to have a wide distribution of lengths.

And if they didn't want Hakeem Jeffries specifically, they could have bargained for someone else. If they were in the mood to cross the aisle, they would be holding all the cards.

Regardless, I'm glad they are being open about this. I use 1password, so I want to know absolutely anything that could be a threat, especially after the debacle with LastPass.

The Economist really does have a way with words sometimes. So many news agencies are "just the facts," but The Economist loves to mix in creative headlines and word play like that.

Seems like moderate Republicans weren't objecting to an extremist (ala Jim Jordan). They were objecting to an extremist who had too much of a public profile. They just needed someone obscure enough that they wouldn't catch too much flak for choosing them.

Yeah, that's what really gets my goat. Hamas is not a group that any of those people would like living under. Yet they have bought into this "Western" versus "non-Western" narrative so deeply that they will excuse even straight up war crimes by any group as long as that group runs counter to Western interests and values.

I'm seeing it on lemmy.ml. The mods on /c/worldnews there are removing any comment that isn't pro-Hamas. Not even pro-Palestinian, you have to follow Hamas' narrative or your comment gets deleted. Look at the mod logs if you doubt me. Even just doubting Hamas' honesty is grounds for a comment to be removed.

From what I hear, the aircraft carriers are mostly a threat to keep any additional actors from throwing their hat in the ring while Israel is distracted.

That's part of the point, that it gets passed to consumers. The consumer gets nudged towards lower carbon products. The rebate is there to offset the cost of the carbon tax that is baked into goods and services. It is evenly split between everyone so that people who cause fewer carbon emissions than average will see a net benefit.
