Good point. But it's a little tricky considering the vast majority of Palestinians (~7 million) are refugees that have been displaced from their homeland. So are we talking about the half a million left in Gaza or the entire diaspora?
Nowhere do they explain what "cloud-native" means. It does seem to run on local hardware, so I'm unsure what the even mean by "cloud".

Evangelicals vote 99% Republican, how does that explain unconditional support for Israel being the overwhelming bipartisan consensus in Washington? AIPAC and other Zionist lobbyist groups are massively influential, while equivalent pro-Palestinian groups are largely ignored. They can direct millions of dollars to primary congressmen who step out of line, or back their opponent in a swing district, and everyone knows it.

The US singleminded support of Israel has cost an incredible amount of money and political capital, but it helps congressmen and senators get reelected and lines the pockets of defense contractors, so clearly it is keeping the right people happy.
Most of the time, I don’t want the new version or features. If I didn’t think the current version were suitable for my needs, I wouldn’t buy it as-is.

You seem to be conflating future updates with the software as it stands today.

I am not buying support, I am not buying upgrades. I’m buying software once today (and even that is an exception, as the majority of my tools, including 100% of the most critical ones, are free software).

Additionally, I find proprietary software vendors who do open source cosplay (“open core” is something made by people who dgaf about software freedoms) to be generally disdainful. Open core is a slap in the face; nobody is forcing proprietary software vendors to be in denial about being proprietary software vendors.

I don't know what "silver bullet" claims you've heard, but I'm not sure how that is relevant to this thread. I don't think I've made any outlandish claims, or any claims that aren't substantiated by a preponderance of academic literature.
You're dead on about rigid mounts for the pedals. One of the first issues many sim racers run into with regular cheap pedals and a desk mounted wheel is that they pedals slide once you start braking hard. And with load cell pedals the expectation is that you'll be using even more force, so that problem will just get worse.

As for pedal mounting location, many pedals can be top or bottom mounted if your racing chassis allows for it. However, floor mounted pedals offer the same performance as top mounted, match the majority of purpose built racing cars, and are simpler to mount in a sim racing chassis.
Totally agreed one man distros might not get maintained after release or two but:

Behind Bluefin is a project called Universal blue which is a whole bunch of people with many interests, but biggest one being DevOps, devOps combined with its "immutable", image-based nature which should make maintenance of distro lot easier then normal
These are definitely valid criticisms against Hamas, But how does that even remotely justify Israel? How does armed gang storming your house and killing you is different than bombing? Will it be less painful death?

You want to take the claims about rape and mutilation though there weren't any proofs given till date, but doubt the number of people killed on Gaza despite all the names are published?

If your only solution to beat a "terrorist" organization is to be bigger evil than them talks about the weakness of your government, not a blanket justification to commit genocide.

It can transform the text you selected to whatever format you desire, e.g. SQL format, JSON format, Base64 encoding/decoding and etc.

You can actually do this via Alfred workflow, but the built-in text manipulation tools provided by Alfred is rather limited. TextService is an app designed specifically for this work with abundant text manipulation tools and provides manipulation extensibility.

Hamas did not drop a rocket on a Gazan hospital. Not even Israel said that. And the case is still under investigation. No honest person could claim there's without a doubt enough evidence to accuse a specific party
Handing your data over to Google's cloud is the sanctioned option, but I prefer an SD card and local backups to another device.
Currently we make it illegal for the current owner-resident to choose to bulldoze their single family house and build a quadplex and live in one unit. If you don't want to redevelop your lot that's perfectly fine, but why restrict your neighbor's property rights? The current system just rewards those lucky enough to see their neighborhood appreciate in value. Once it does newcomers are priced out and we have an equilibrium of urban sprawl, housing inflation outstripping inflation, and ever longer commutes.

Imagine if groceries were sold on a 30 year contract. If you chose the right grocery district you'd eventually get a sweeter and sweeter deal as your right appreciated. In the most competitive grocery districts, newcomers would have to bid $1 million to for the right to access groceries in that area. Or rent it at $3000/mo. Faced with a too high cost to buy into a centrally located grocery district, many would have to commute an hour each way to stock their pantry.
How can there be "most people in the know" when the Gaza strip is under the tight grip of Hamas? Israel has always published all the details of all causalities in all the conflicts, civilian and military. Hamas never did until this new list and has never broken the numbers by combatant vs. civilian. Who and how exactly verifies those numbers?

Your link even says: "International groups, even some operating in Gaza, and global media including Reuters are not able to verify the figures but reporters have seen large numbers of bodies.".

Hamas is motivated to inflate this number to make Israel look bad. You have to be incredibly naive to think they're above that. Maybe they do it a little, maybe they do it a lot.

Why are we even playing this numbers game in the first place?

> I'm sure Hamas could figure out how to install Signal from clean APKs

I think you are overestimating how technically savvy guerrilla fighters – or armies in general – typically are. Even if a handful of elites were savvy, the vast majority are going to have less knowledge and show terrible opsec. And considering that even many security researchers complain how difficult it is to ensure a secure setup for Signal or any other smartphone-based system, I wouldn’t expect Hamas to be any better.

Of course Gaza wasn’t a particularly poor country. It even has its own dev community attracting outsourcing work. But that doesn’t make opsec in this area any easier or them any more qualified than the average.
> When it happened in Iran the US opposed it: https://www.state.gov/joint-statement-on-internet-shutdowns-...

That's not comparable because that is not a military operation and there was no military advantage to the action.

> Right now you can not call ambulances or firetrucks or anything. Not all 2M Palestinians in Gaza are combatants, but I think that some people consider them to be.

I don't know what people think happens in a war, but generally innocents always pay the price. That's true in this conflict and it is true in literally every other conflict that has happened ever.

If only the guilty died in wars, we wouldn't say war is hell.

Generally from an international law perspective, the obligation is to ensure that civilian damage is porportional to military advantage. There is no obligation under the geneva convention to never do anything that could harm civilians, it just has to have enough of a military advantage to justify it (this is a gross over simplification)
We are definitely getting warmer. Exciting times. I would love a metahuman like diffusor for my characters. This would also be great for quickly generating props from photos or midjourney conjures.

In the first case, you're not rejecting candidates at all. Nor are you treating them like potential fraudsters.
Israel told a million people to evacuate. Literally impossible considering their blockade of any aid. Not only do Gazans know it's a trap and they'd likely be shot, but it's obviously a political excuse to pretend like they gave people a chance
Sorry, can you be clearer about which guideline you believe I broke?
Kinda funny. Antenna gain is beam width. Antennas with large effective apertures have narrow beam widths.

I can easily buy that it could be cheaper to launch a 50m spherical inflatable antenna than a rigid 25m parabolic antenna. But it's never going to be true that a spherical antenna with the same gain as a parabolic will have a wider beam width.

Most people in the US don’t ever leave their home country, and when they do, it’s usually to a small number of other first world countries.

I came close to being bankrupted this year because my US health insurer doesn’t support customers remaining insured if they live a lifestyle that involves being away from paper mail delivery for a few months at a time. (I live elsewhere half the year and they cancelled my policy with only paper mail notice after my payment card on file expired.)

It’s really terrible.
My point is that libc as the only system API is not a sane choice, and appeals to tradition don't make it less insane.
What nonsense. You could sit 500 people directly on top of one of those Hamas rockets, detonate it, and it wouldn't kill 500 people. Those people are not dealing with state of the art military equipment.

Specifically, the US annually gives $3.8 billion in aid to the Israeli military. In the UN, the US has also utilized their veto power to overrule 34 different resolutions related to Israel/Palestine peace since 1954. This really is the US' creation in so many ways yet so few Americans know anything about the topic.
> ship a desktop app

user doesn't want to download an app, since that has a lot of friction. Going to a url and waiting (even if the download time is the same) feels like there's less friction, and so this idea of shipping a blackbox is more desirable.

The only problem really is the jankiness of any non-browser controls. The user expects a good right-click context menu, keyboard navigation, scrolling, etc, which all would have to be implemented if you're compiling a native app into WASM. But if the app itself is just HTML+javascript, then shipping a WASM browser, then using that browser as the app layer solves all of those UX jankiness (since the user should not really be able to tell it's a WASM browser).

The idea is insidiouly bad for user freedom, but great for businesses like google (who wants to control the user space completely).

i would love to test this for my current game project .

> Unfortunately universities are not immune to the realities of living in a capitalistic society

This is of course true (trivially and of absolutely anything in a capitalist society). However, it's somewhat ironic in that academia as an economic system is basically communist and rests on funding and planning by state bureaucracies. We are in fact discussing the kinds of corruption and misaligned incentives that plague communist systems. That is not to say, of course, that just making it "more capitalist" would immediately improve it.

Do you have a breakdown of how many civilian casualties were in the north vs. south? And how many were killed on the way?

Israel denies attacking anyone on the way. There was plenty of reporting showing people moving along the main arteries that were recommended and those look clear with no debris or any other evidence of attack. I'm aware of a single incident where it was claimed Israel attacked someone evacuating and this is still contested.

Israel has never said it will not attack in the south of the Gaza strip. It just said the bulk of its operation will be in the north. It explicitly said it would go after military targets in the south as well.

I find this whole thread fascinating because nobody seems to have identified what functional programming is defined as (programmers can just use functions to code and end up with functional programming, it isn't an obscure style), who the advocates are or what they claim.

And yet, without any substance, the debate rages.
> how do you prevent legions of new Hamas supporters being 'born' every day?

Fully open the border with Egypt and provide documents usable internationally. Then many educated Gazans would happily leave for better opportunities elsewhere. It would make a dent large enough in Gazans’ demographics that Hamas would not longer be able to extract the same level of material support from the civilian population and camouflage its operations using that population.
Hamas is as big as it is because there are a lot of people in Gaza who think that Hamas is their best chance of changing the situation. If it is as bad as it seems to be to me as an outsider then you have to understand that for someone with absolutely no future and nothing to lose living in what has been termed the worlds largest prison that a large fraction will end up being recruited. This is a reflection of the degree of hopelessness of the situation, not that Hamas is popular in any other way.

If - farfetched - Germany would occupy NL tomorrow and would bulldoze my house, kill one of my kids and settle a bunch of thoroughbred Germans on the former site of my house leaving me with no recourse I too would become a terrorist. When the extremists of what is on both sides a thinly veiled religious conflict refuse to give ground it will simply never end until the last one of them is dead on either side. And that's a horrific thing to contemplate.

I'm not sure they have that sophisticated of an understanding or mental model. It just seems like they are looking at "Um, like, what do people pay for on social platforms?? Let's try charging for that and see if it works."

I am not trying to bust you. I'm trying to say you have this idea of why people might pay and I don't feel like they do. I feel like they are like someone who bought a restaurant and don't realize that people pay for food and they are going "Um, pay for entrance to the place? Um, pay to sit at the table for a certain amount of time? Um, bathroom access. People really need bathrooms when they eat. Let's charge for bathroom access. Surely that will rake in the dough."

(looks puzzled when none of that works)
> What if Israel stopped killing Palestinians and normalized relations with Gaza? Israel could choose a different path.

Hamas slaughtered over a thousand Jewish civilians three weeks ago. They've been continuously launching rockets into Israel since then. They have been able to do that because Israel had chosen to partially normalize relations, eg by allowing trucks to import goods into Gaza, allowing the import of concrete and other building supplies, and allowing Gazan's to enter Israel to work. The latter is particularly atrocious, as it appears that many of those cross-border workers used their access to Israel to help Hamas massacre Israeli civilians.

Obviously, normalizing relations prior to Hamas taking steps to reject violence comes at enormous risk. If Israel had instead decided against taking steps to normalize relations with Gaza, 1400 and counting Israeli's would probably still be alive today.

I don’t claim any expertise outside of once upon a time taking an engineering law course. But my discussion has mainly been about the larger umbrella of intellectual property. In this case, the US generally considers infringement of intellectual property with the intent to enrich oneself to be a criminal matter. It can be copyright, patents, trade secrets etc. I mentioned trade secrets because the example was stealing self driving car tech, which has had relatively recent examples of that very thing.
Genuine question-- is there something about Futhark that makes it particularly well-suited for parallel execution compared to any other functional programming language (especially of the purely functional kind)? FP in general is inherently well suited for this application.

As I understand it, Futhark aims to leverage GPUs in particular, and that approach seems to be what makes it unique within the category of FP languages?
Even if they exist, I am willing to bet they consume the limited time and energy of the people whose only crime was not living the same lifestyle as 99% of everyone else.
They touch on AI and open source briefly. There is a difference in that case, that many models (if you believe weights can be copyrighted) are being released under non open source licenses like RAIL or Meta's custom llama licenses, but are being promoted as "open source". Historically it seems there's been more honesty about switching licenses, now we have "fauxpen source" trying to use the terminology for marketing credit, and succeeding.
Spies, or even just sources, in the Russian government are probably somewhat more likely.
The degree to which this has been normalized is frightening. Take the Guantanamo bay scandal(s), you'd think that there would be some kind of massive blowback from that but it actually ended up being almost a speedbump in terms of the international response.
Fair enough!

I guess my take here is that I see this "pay to get your replies boosted or in front of more people" is roughly the same as "pay to feel important" in my mind...

I think they do know what they're doing, and they are trying to prey on the people who want to feel important on social media but can't get there organically, so will pay to do so, more for their own satisfaction than anything else..

But that's just my take! We can have many takes among us. :-)
