Any idea what kind of permitting or permission they had to go through to launch this? I'm assuming you can't just take what's basically a missile and go into the dessert and shoot it without the FAA knowing about it.

It started off as a fork of d7 (really very early d8) but it's since diverged into it's own thing. It still has a core that is d7 compatible, so migrating is very simple (you can import a d7 database and it just works), but the theming layer is different. It's placed an emphasis on usability and modernization.

It's definitely a good choice for migrating from d7, and could also be a great choice for a new site for someone who enjoys working on a classic drupal stack.

The people behind it are great, but the community right now is kind of small.

Drupal is very popular in government and higher education. It's a very flexible and non-opinionated CMS, so it's easy for a developer to build something really crappy with it by not following best practices. When Drupal 8 first was released, there weren't a lot of off-the-shelf modules like there were with Drupal 7, which resulted in people building some pretty crappy sites in some unconventional ways.

The situation has really improved in recent years. Drupal 10 and 11 (the latest stable versions) are mature, the module ecosystem is robust, and there has been a renewed focus on usability.

It's not the right choice for every site of course, but I think people who have had a bad experience with it in the past should give it a second chance.

Drupal is seriously worth another look if you haven't used it in a while. It's really a mature CMS that was completely rewritten a number of years ago. There's also currently an initiative underway to make a new "distro" of Drupal that is more user friendly and less developer focused, which could be great for people coming from WordPress.

Drupal does have a learning curve, it doesn't have the robust marketplace of off the shelf themes that WP has, but I love it.

I've wondered if it would be better for electronics to be just thrown out in regular trash. I know they have some hazardous materials in them, but when spread out in low levels across landfills maybe its better than concentrating them in places like this...

You left out that the officer who shot and killed him did so by accident during the arrest. The police are not out there killing people "for" betting as you said.

Yep, same. The process is obtuse, maybe intentionally to weed out bots and scammers too stupid to read instructions. But if you are legit and know what you are doing it was fairly straightforward, just pretty slow to hear back.

I also use Twilio for a hobby project. When the 10DLC changes came down I found it pretty confusing. I was able to keep my current pricing by purchasing a toll free number (trivial cost) and filling out a Word doc explaining how my website meetings some basic requirements (users opt in for SMS, theres a way to unsubscribe, etc)

I wrote about my experience on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/twilio/comments/z9q3i1/10dlc_confus...

Prior to legalized sports betting, was "state violence" used against people who bet on sports as a casual hobby? It seems like it was basically tolerated as long as it was kept amongst friends/coworkers, etc.

It's pretty bizarre to claim that WP Engine is causing confusion here when the real confusion is between WordPress.org and WordPress.com

Would google appsheet work?

Looks nice. One reason why I use a spreadsheet for stuff like this is I can share it with my wife through Google Sheets, so we can periodically update with our separate accounts.

Wild, I knew Frontier as an ISP in upstate NY that only provided DSL service with abysmal speeds. I assumed they would just die off, but I guess not.

I really like this idea!

I've been very pleased with Plausible as a Google Analytics alternative. I don't really care about the privacy and open source stuff, but the integration is simple and if you just want to know "how many people are looking at my site, where are they coming from, etc" it's fantastic. GA4 is really too complex for most people.

I've always been told resumes should be limited to a single page, one sided. At some point that means you have to drop old jobs from the list. Nobody really cares what your first job out of college was when you are 40.

I had to rent a car earlier this year and it was kind of difficult to find a gasoline powered car. All of the rental companies seemed to be pushing EVs. I have nothing against them, and they are obviously the future, but I don't want to rent one for a variety of reasons.

That will probably change in the future, but it feels like it's too soon for EVs to be the default rental option when they aren't the default purchase or lease option.

Hamas and PIJ re-entered the hospital by land. The tunnels in and around the hospital have been destroyed. The IDF was able to kill and arrest the terrorists in the hospital pretty quickly, with no civilian deaths in the process. It was a major success. Sure it would be better if they never re-entered the hospital, but I think pockets of insurgency and re-emergence are probably to be expected.

Hamas's ability to hold onto these places when they re-take them though is far diminished. Their tunnel network is in very poor shape, their weapons supply is surely being depleted, and thousands of their fighters are dead or arrested. They're going to fight to the bitter end (they're insane suicidal terrorists after all), but they are not as strong as they were when the war started. They are scattered, disorganized, and isolated.

This is just the nature of urban warfare against an terrorist group that is deeply embedded in the civilian population. The tunnels add a huge level of complexity to it.

Israel did themselves no favors by projecting a message early on that they would be able to "destroy" Hamas entirely in a very short amount of time. It was probably inevitable from the beginning that this would be a long, drawn out conflict. Hamas will continue to exist to some extent for quite some time. But the fact remains that their military capabilities are far diminished now, and continue to be futher diminished. That is the essential goal of the war.

> Given the total failure to achieve any of its stated objectives, has this use of AI benefited the IDF at all?

Hamas has been considerably diminished. It's not accurate to say the war has been a "total failure".

does it include The SAM Song?

Floor tiles in your home. Lots of homes in the 50s/60s had asbestos floor tiles installed. These tiles aren't going to kill you. You can leave them alone, cover them with another layer of tile.

If you remove them, you can hire an abatement company which takes a tremendous level of precuation, but when you consider the tiny amount of asbestos in the tiles, the fact that its not really breathable, and your exposure is not over an extended period of time, removing tiles yourself with some basic precaution should be fine.

The sorts of asbestos you find around the house that you absolutely don't want to mess with would be things like pipe insulation. That stuff is loose, lightweight and can easily be breathed in.

Basically just use some common sense and understand what makes asbestos dangerous.

Also the danger of asbestos is specifically when it is breathed in over extended periods of time. There are forms of asbestos that are really not all that dangerous to the general public, but people freak out when they hear the word.

If there are suitable alternatives its good to ban it and move on.

I tried to download that but the file was damaged

do you use WebObjects at all?

Is "disaster" really the correct term for an incident where zero people where injured or died and everything in the town was back to normal pretty quickly?

can this be used in conjunction with tailscale?

I could see how to choose dates, but I couldn't figure out how to choose times.
