By the end of the article they’ve framed much of this as being pro-Hamas / anti-Israel when a collaborative encyclopedia was seemingly worried about appearing neutral.

There’s enough there to have a good argument about sources and consistent wording but the article keeps highlighting people who think it’s purely political and even that people probably didn’t read the issue, they just wanted to be pro or anti Israel.

There’s still a lot of people who call this a genocide because they feel / think it’s a genocide, not because they’re on a side. Having consistent wording is important because you should be able to speak the truth and still feel whatever you felt… it’s not about hating Israel. I guess the beginning of the article sort of captures that mindset.

At the very least it would balance out the stream of reports of Israel bombing / shooting yet another journalist / American / medic / humanitarian.

There can’t seriously be respectable, noteworthy people in Russia saying that banning Discord is a mistake because it helps the Russian military. That’s bizzaro world stuff even for them.

Not understanding what a person means and thinking that means they’re a bot? That is reddit shit, I’ll give you that.

Whitlam was a PM who opposed the US and was immediately ousted in a brazen display of “we own you.” Hence, a joke about the man in Slovakia being ousted for opposing NATO aspirations.

The terrorism tweet:

“History is only written with the blood of such people — to tell the stories of those martyrs who made history, built nations and brought about glory. Their blood is the lifeline of our faith until the day of judgment. May you rest in peace.”

Crazy how tame this messaging seems living around Christians / GOP.

Nice, killed a big terrorist. Also created a few hundred, maybe even a few more big terrorists, but you got this one.

It’s using old techniques from Chinese history and applying them in a new way. Ai had to experiment and go through a lot of failure to produce such a different object. I don’t think the cube wireframe was important, just the old method being used to make a modern art piece.

I like the idea of reinvigorating ancient crafting techniques by making modern art. I’m not exactly an art guy so I don’t know if it’s a unique idea but it made me think so I like it.

When Republicans decide to have 4th of July at this judge’s house then I’ll believe he’s a dictator.

What I don’t understand about the handlers thing is that when I watch other famous people walking and talking: I see their handlers steer them, give them signals, whisper names in their ear. And you know what? Celebrities in their prime look awkward all the time. People who have nothing to worry about but their craft and being famous screw up all the time.

Damn, I guess I’m going to ignore years of evidence that Biden’s admin can function just fine and go with my feelings on this one. I mean would you vote constructively if it meant getting over yourself? Of course not. We’re Americans. We want a leader with a good jaw, not with good character or good ideas.

Nah but seriously though. Biden and Trump make me feel bad so I’m going to vote in a way that harms the country. That’ll show us.

Why does the Superbowl only have two teams? It seems unfair since I don’t know how the two teams were selected and I don’t really care enough to pay attention / find out.

It’s new to me, I think it’s saying that your system is built up by you declaring what you want in a file, a single source that everything comes from.

It’s atomic because each action the system takes is carefully completed rather than bailing out and requiring you to fix something.

It’s immutable meaning you declare how you want things to be set up and then critical changes stem from those declarations and nothing else. You would obviously generate preferences, save data, etc. but the files that make the system / packages work are carefully locked.

It’s like the concept of flatpaks + structured system defining + modern common sense OS operations?

No problem. I’m no guru and I’m currently on Zig but I think learning some Rust is a really fast way to hone skills that are implied by other languages.

S. Korean government is the woman before ~20 seconds, N. Korean government is the woman after that point, and I guess regular citizens are like the people in the diner.

Fighting is one thing, poop is another.

You use lifetimes to annotate parameters and return values in order to tell the compiler about how long things must last for your function to be valid. You can link a specific input with the output, or explicitly separate them. If you don’t give lifetimes the language uses some basic rules to do it for you. If it can’t, eg it’s ambiguous, then it’s a compile error and you need to do it manually.

It’s one of the harder concepts of rust to explain succinctly. But imagine you had a function that took strA and strB, used strB to find a subsection of strA, and then return a slice of strA. That slice is tied to strA. You would use 'a annotation for strA and the return value, and 'b for strB.

Rust compiler will detect the lifetime being shorter than expected.

Also, ownership semantics. Think c++ move semantics. Only one person is left with a good value, the previous owners just have garbage data they can’t use anymore. If you created a thing on the heap and then gave it away, you wouldn’t have it anymore to free at the end. If you want to have “multiple owners” then you need ref counting and such, which also stops this problem of premature freeing.

Edit: one more thing: reference rules. You can have many read-only references to a thing, or one mutable reference. Unless you’re doing crazy things, the compiler simply won’t let you have references to a thing, and then via one of those references free that thing, thereby invalidating the other references.

The more you give Israel the greater their scope. It’s completely obvious that you can attempt to limit their ambitions while still allowing them to defend themselves and engage in limited geopolitical maneuvers. They are not going to bet everything on manifest destiny at the expense of self defense and keeping terrorist groups in check. Make Israel have less and they will prioritize accordingly.

Does anyone believe that Iran thought they were going to incinerate Jerusalem, only to be caught off guard that Israel’s allies swooped in to help?

Or that Iran is incapable of working out the effects of their military operations?
