> But in scenario 1, one is bombing unarmed civilians residing inside their homes. The only reason they do not literally have their hands up is that they do not even see the strike coming before they and their families are killed; and they pose even less of a threat to the person sending the missile than they would pose to a soldier that is physically located next to them.

We must be talking past each other. I don’t see how any of this contradicts or lessens what I’ve said.

> pointing out that people seem to find such massacres much more acceptable when done from a distance.

You misunderstand. People such as myself find such “massacres” (loaded term, by the way) acceptable when they’re part of collateral damage rather than intentional killing of civilians.

> The rest of your reply seems to provide motivations for such actions, and your last paragraph even provides justifications

Of course. Like I’ve just explained, killing civilians is justified when it’s collateral damage. You understood me correctly.

> the reality of the outcome is what it is — a deliberate massacre of civilians.

That phrasing sounds like civilians were deliberately targeted. They were not. They were simply in the way of the military assets that were deliberately targeted.

> Whether that is done by bullets at gunpoint or by a missile from a long distance makes little, if any, difference to the people being slaughtered by tens of thousands (and ongoing), and makes no difference at all to the death reports.

I’ll grant you that. But intentions matter. Intention implies that if civilians and combatants were clearly separated, the IDF would not continue to kill civilians at the same rate they’re doing now. If the IDF does not have the intention to target civilians specifically, then the only other party that can make a difference is Hamas, and that is where the blame lies for all civilian deaths.

A few years ago, I was working on a legacy system that required preparing changesets for a release by hand. There was no version control. The entire release workflow was manual. The release sizes were massive. During those days, it was given that a release would take an entire day. We were averse to Friday deployments then.

Fast forward a few years, we now have version control, a proper CI/CD with rollbacks for failure and small well-scoped releases. Cutting down the release sizes had two positive effects: easier rollbacks and, quick and precise feedback about the release's status. These days, we release things whenever they are ready and Friday is no different than any other day.

Is anyone working on solving the problem of building it once and distributing to all Linux package managers?
Yeah, but it's kind of a mess. You have multiple options when implementing it without a clear standard, and in practice, it's a lot trickier to make sure that all of your code does this consistently than it is to simply use different file descriptors for different output types.

And then if the user wants to debug their script, they need to know to pipe your command to `cat` or whatever to see what's actually getting passed through.
We founded a software startup in 1999. And I've worked as fractional CTO recently. My impression, we have not utilized productivity due to cloud, better tools, better SaaS (Hubspot, Linkedin, Pipedrive, Google Analytics etc.).

Here is the crux of our disagreement:

> I think if you answer these honestly you'll say that Hamas would certainly use ambulances if they felt that was to their advantage and that Israel would not generally target ambulances intentionally.

So if I’m honest, I’ll say that Hamas doing something bad is normal but Israel doing something bad is exceptional. Why would I say that, exactly? Israel is one of the most powerful countries in the world, backed by one of the most vicious modern day empires, waging a one-sided war against people they have blockaded inside a literal ghetto. My allegiance is always with the victims of oppression; that is a core Jewish value to me.

This is not the pot calling the kettle black. The aforementioned empire is the US; we have truly horrendous skeletons in our closet and continue to add more. But goddamn, at least I’m not pretending they aren’t there.

Palestinian lives don’t morally matter in the context of military strikes on Hamas assets. Same as how Israeli lives don’t morally matter in the context of assaults on IDF military assets. The IDF soldiers who were caught off guard and died at their bases? That is unfortunately a part of war. Israeli civilians who might be visiting those military bases at the time they were attacked? Sucks to be them, but their deaths are not a moral wrong.

Unfortunately not a particularly unbiased author. I’d recommend reading the writings from the earliest Christians, and Roman references:
https://www.ccel.org/fathers

The bias here is that the sources were largely preserved by traditional Christianity. It excludes gnostics, manicheans, arians or the like. However even for topics like the divinity of Jesus the Romans noted the Christians “worshipped him like a God”. They also thought they were cannibalism seemingly due to the sacrament of communion.

Linux can do this; binaries from the 90s work today.

Something like xv (last release: 1994, although the binaries were built against Red Hat 5.2 from 1998) still work today, and the source still builds with one very minor patch last time I tried it.

The problem running the binaries is:

% ldd ./usr/X11R6/bin/xv
linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7f82000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6 (0xf7e22000)
libjpeg.so.62 => not found
libpng.so.2 => not found
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf7e08000)
libm.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7d0b000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7a00000)
libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libxcb.so.1 (0xf7cde000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f84000)
libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXau.so.6 (0xf7cd8000)
libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xf7cd1000)

And Windows has exactly the same problem, but the tradition is to ship these things with the application rather than just assume they're present on the system. And you can "fix" it by getting old versions, or even:

% ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8 libjpeg.so.62
% ln -s /usr/lib/libpng16.so.16 libpng.so.2

You'll probably run in to trouble with PNG and JPEG files, but e.g. loading/saving GIF and whatnot works fine. Note how libc and libX* work out of the box.

tl;dr: much of the "Windows compatibility" is just binaries shipping with all or most dependencies.

Please don't break the site guidelines like this, no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are. It isn't in your interest anyhow, since it only discredits your own view.

The thing to do, when someone else is wrong, is to respond to incorrect information with true information, and to bad arguments with good arguments. If you don't want to do that or don't have time, that's ok, but please don't substitute for it with putdowns, name-calling, and so on; that just degrades discussion.

> I think the Israeli Arabs are a model/proof that it can work

Because they’re a minority. Look at what happens when Jews are a minority in a Muslim-majority country.

Even if Palestinian Arabs could get okay with Jews it would be a powder keg long term. Because the whole Muslim world hates the idea of Jews in the holy land, and uses Palestinians as a proxy against Jews. I’m from a “moderate” Muslim country. Out of thousands of Jews that used to live in the country, only a few families are left (openly). It’s really as bad as people think.

My proposal was simply that data-driven decisions should be made based on accurate data.

Nepotism and bias aren't the alternative here. If you require that decisions are driven by data and you don't have access to accurate data, you should default to doing nothing. If anything, nepotism and bias sneak in when decisions are made despite the fact that no accurate data is avaliable.

Many of the recent articles in the media about productivity are inaccurate, there is a big difference between plain English "productivity" and the economic concept of productivity. The quoted productivity #s are aggregates measured by the BLS, the only thing it measures is aggregate US output (~= to real GDP) divided by total US hours worked (# employees * avg hours/employee).

The reason productivity is up so much lately is that for the past two years:

- Employment (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS) has been increasing at 1-2% annualized rate (because unemployment rate/labor force participation rate hasn't been changing, so employment growth has come from population growth, which was 1-2% when current 18-30 year-olds were born)

- Real GDP (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1) has been increasing at 3-5% annualized rate

The reality is there is a giant consumption boom the past few years, but minimal increase in employment since we were already at full employment, so by definition there will just be increase in aggregate productivity. It is unrelated to concepts like how hard are people working.

The moderation point here is in no way "defending that", nor was this the issue with your comments. The issue is that when people get into the frame of "calling out", they're already usually over the line into flamewar. That has nothing to do with this particular topic, as the second link in my reply makes clear (as the topic of that previous flamewar was unrelated).

If you want to provide thoughtful critique, answering bad information with better information and bad arguments with better arguments, in a respectful and curious way, that's of course fine. If you call names, or take swipes, or post flamebait or high-dudgeon rhetoric, that's going to lead to getting moderated and/or penalized and/or eventually banned, regardless of the topic.

No. There were multiple attempts to destroy Israel by force and the outcome is this. There are Israeli arabs with equal rights as Jews so this isn't the ethnic struggle it was in the US or sa. This is what do you do with a defeated enemy.
> Interestingly that's also a claim made in the Quran, that Christianity had changed and become corrupted by pagan practices over time.

The most basic evidence is ignorance of the 4th commandment (all counter-arguments toward Christ "nailing Mosaic law to the cross" are eliminated by Matthew 5:17-18). There is no Biblical evidence for the Sabbath being moved to Sunday and recognized as "The Lord's Day" or a commemoration of Christ's resurrection. That "move" was an edict of the Roman Emperor Constantine.
