>Israel's stated goal is to neuter Hamas and return the hostages, not kill civilians

Sure, yeah, just like it was in any number of previous operations, which at the time they declared successful, even though they did quite a bit more of the latter. Per Occam's razor, either they are prodigious bunglers, or you are overly credulous.

Yeah I'm struggling to see the value here.

Eh; it's maybe dumb to suggest the only way for a project to be sustainable is to monetize it, but responding with "I'm rich, you peasant, I'm above such concerns" is infinitely worse.

Meditating to the first track on Ambient 1 is one of the only things that is guaranteed to relax me when I'm overstimulated.

I didn't think it was possible for anyone to express this thought more obnoxiously than DHH but here we are.

IIRC, he was on his way out by the time the BSL shenanigans were underway.

In my professional network, people mostly just reshare and like things their peers are doing or that they want to boost engagement for (mainly job postings, which they also post occasionally).

I _do_ have acquaintances I made outside of working life on LinkedIn, though - the only two that are really active are a mechanical engineer who mostly just posts about robotics and someone in marketing. I don't know if it's because I'm just really good friends with the latter person, but I've never felt annoyed reading their posts; they mostly seem to just talk about enjoying conferences or new externally facing projects - ad campaigns, large-scale promotions, etc - wherever they are currently working. I don't know if part of that is they're in the EU and the culture for marketers there is different?

Is it making it easier? I feel like having to parse a comic like this is more cognitively demanding than just RTFCode, and I'd still have to review the code afterward to confirm its accuracy and whether the approach is sensical.

>Definitely still needs a "human in the loop."

At which point I feel like I would rather the human have invested their time into writing a design doc that we could discuss well before they submitted a PR.

Meanwhile I've been watching a lot of standup lately and so my brain went to "video of person roasting the code review process".

I would suspect there's lots of overlap between the comic book collector/reader and hacker demographics anyway.

>Also, Indonesian food IMHO is at the bottom of SEA food culture. MY has wayyy better food (both in quality and diversity).

I won't speak for the quality but this seems like an extremely dubious statement. Malay cuisine is certainly diverse, owing to settled migrant populations from other parts of Asia, but they don't have the dizzying array of indigenous cuisines on offer in Indonesia, many of which aren't readily available in Java.

Yes, of the publishing method at giving authors ROI. This should be pretty clear from the context.

Why is it misleading? The fact that alternatives exist doesn't mean that they're any good .

>Partisan does not mean wrong.

Sure, but all of this:

>conflates storylines, uses flawed logic, and a variety of other journalistic malfeasance

...combined with the Manhattan Institute's ideological priors don't really help.

Nozick's libertarianism is not really an anarchist school of thought.

I guess if you have/had a PSP this isn't an option but they did release a collection for the PS4 called Requiem that has these changes packed in.

Not good, I imagine; IMO part of the magic of a game from the era is that blocky aesthetic. I'm reminded of how Dracula X Chronicles completely sucks all the joy out of Rondo of Blood with ugly 3D models and weird arrangements of the compositions with 'real' instruments (or just a different synth).

>that thing is overwhelming with all its popups, hovers, sidebars etc.

I think it's fairly normal if you're coming from heavy IDE use, eg: Eclipse. If you've spent most of your time editing using tmux/[vi|nano|emacs]], maybe that's not the case, but I can't really speak to that as I've never really worked that way.

This was a great read, and the previous post in the series. I see a lot of very convincing arguments here (https://maximullaris.com/awk.html#why) but for me one of the biggest points in favour of python (and I say this is someone who, for learning, will always just reach for C++ because of my muscle memory) is its eminent readability. If I'm writing a script, quite a lot of the time, it's meant not just for myself but for my peers to use with some degree of regularity. I feel pretty confident that there would be much more operational overhead and a lot of time spent explaining internals with awk than with python.

Why, is New York insufficiently car-dependent and racially segregated?

I wish the answer was Thief: Legacy of Shadow but considering the war crime that was Eidos Montreal's previous outing on the franchise, I doubt it.

>in reality there are only individuals.

Man, HN is really bought in on treating subjective value judgements as universal laws.

ChatGPT is the product of a private, 300B USD evaluated company whose founder has whose net worth outpaces that of over 99% of humans alive. It's compute infrastructure is a subsidized by one of less than ten companies that has a market cap over 1T USD. It is practically embedded into the governments of the US and UK at this point.

I would say it's a crazy world where an educated adult would see it as an antipode to the establishment.

Looks like you missed the part where I rather clearly said "in the article you linked". As for the articles you just linked because of this, literally none of them evince the charge that Hamas directed its brigades to gangrape hostages, let alone that Palestinians cheered this on. And again, it's pretty wild that you would argue that a healthy society tacitly or explicitly (it's the latter in Israel's case) encourages revenge rape, especially when it quite literally had always called itself the vanguard of the west in the middle east, the most moral army in the world, etc.

> Google it!

I did, and here's what I found: https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10173130920930377&set=...

You should credit Mr. Fuld, plagiarizing hasbara seems a bit gauche.

>And the kids that look starving had preexisting conditions.

Caused by prenatal nutritional deficiencies that wouldn't have occurred if they weren't born under siege. It's pretty wild that Zionists are still engaging in this transparently cynical fuff.

>A googleable claim.

Yeah, this time it comes from an unsourced post on Threads. Not that it would matter, much like the charge of genocide, ICL doesn't require a particular threshold of deaths.

>real famines

I'll defer to the FAO, WFP, Oxfam, EU JRC and any number of actual authorities on what constitutes one of those.

> It's a factual matter, nobody debates it.

Nobody with a material interest in supporting Israeli expansionism, yeah.

It's libertarian woo; David D. Friedman even makes an appearance in the comments.

I wonder if Revanced could integrate this.

And now we're onto gish galloping - word of advice that this tactic works best while speaking; when typing, lobbying a multitude of bullshit claims at a rapid pace doesn't have quite the same effect.

>Obesity is common in gaza

This maybe works as a claim if humans exist in non-linear time where 2020 and 2025 are perceived simultaneously. In fact, though, it's not a claim that any current data evinces.

>there are restaurants everywhere

And as we all know, a restaurant under rubble without sufficient access to ingredients or consistent utility supply is still operating at full capacity and its patrons don't need to have funds, able bodies, or the absence of the threat of random artillery strikes to avail themselves to their services.

>there aren't any pictures of starving families; all the pictures of starving kids have turned out to be of kids with serious pre-existing conditions

Adults have more developed organs and digestive systems than children and those pre-existing conditions are ones that would either have been managed with sufficient access to food or had resulted from prenatal nutritional deficiencies caused by insufficient access to food. Your previous point was solipsistic, this kind of immaterial distinction, though, is just cynical.

>there have been only about 200 malnutrition related deaths in two years of war in gaza

Outside of a comment on Threads, I can't find any source for this. I wonder how many qualifiers you'll add to the ynetnews editorial you'll quote in support of this one.

>no belligerent in the history of war has ever allowed in more aid to the opposing side than Israel.

Per Israel and its material partners, yeah. Not so much per every internationally recognized human rights watchdog, aid organizations that aren't staffed by mercenaries and funded by the IDF and the US, or genocide scholars and other academics in related fields. It's unclear whether simple credulity or ideological priors are at play in accepting such a premise.

>Just because you called my argument a strawman doesn't make it one.

No, of course not, the fact that you keep trying to derail the argument by mischaracterizing what the people you disagree with are saying makes it a straw man. No one here has rejected the common law convention or said there shouldn't be a trial. A sizable contingent of your ideological brethren have. You refuse to confront this, and that's your own cross to bear.

>By the way, there is no serious debate about whether the video was altered. Any casual watcher an see it's spliced clips. The question is only whether it was altered maliciously, to paint a specific picture. That is what needs to be tested in court.

Not especially, the material question is whether it depicts the assailants performing the acts that resulted in the prisoner's injuries. Notably, you've stopped even trying to argue that point.

>I see you ignored this opportunity to confirm the accused is innocent until proven guilty and deserves a fair trial before people call them rapists. Too bad.

It's not actually required for someone involved in a discussion to waste their time responding to straw men.

>This is just reporting, and it will need to be tested in court.

Ah, so we've moved on from strawmanning to moving the goalposts.
