Microsoft working with Israel is a good enough reason for me to stay with Github. I don't let lies and misinformation (e.g. "Apartheid") guide me in professional settings

Authoritarian regimes don’t act aggressively because they’re provoked; they act aggressively because projecting power and testing limits is part of how they survive internally. History is full of cases where no meaningful provocation existe

They murdered primarily by Hamas, either directly or indirectly by their war tactics that prioritize civilian casualties.

I wonder where the Hamas members speaking out on killings of Israelis on Oct 7th ... It's always one sided. Not saying Israeli soldiers have perfect values and obey all international laws, but every time I see a story in the Guardian ,

I think the willingness to use CLIs often goes hand in hand with having a bit of a hacker mentality. To me, it’s obvious that if a certain command feels cumbersome (e.g., (1)), you can just create an alias, script, or panel to make it behav

Getting people to use the terminal to do things instead of the bloatware produced by Google/Microsoft tools is almost impossible... I live in the terminal, but most people in my company, including developers rather stay away from it

I agree. Israel has been radicallized. As an Israeli, I can say with a lot of confidence that people in my immediate circle despise the current government.

Can you point a war in the history of the world where one side sent buses to evacuate the enemy civilian population out of the way? Do you realize how absurd this expectation is? Israel send leaflets, phone messages and phone calls to aler

That's not true - Palestinians are allowed to evacuate. The border has been closed by Egypt, not by Israel. Just this month, for example, a group of children was evacuated and flown to the UK for urgent treatment. Since Gaza has no air

People who don’t really follow the region often paint Israeli moves as a "land grab." But since Oct 7, 2023, Israel’s been taking a much more active line against jihadist groups across the neighborhood. And look at Syria: the curr

As I said, you can hack your way through snakemake to make it work probably using DAG reevaluation and tricks with filenames, but Nextflow allows it in a much more straightforward manner that's more easy to follow, understand and debug

Here is a scenario which is relatively trivial in Nextflow and difficult to write in snakemake: 1. A process that "generates" protein sequences 2. A collection of processes that perform computationally intensive downstream computa

I have pipelines written in both frameworks. Nextflow (despite the questionable selection of groovy as the language of choice) is more powerful and enables greater flexibility in terms of information flow. For example, snakemake makes it ve

Didn't know that ... silly me. In any case, I think the question still relevant - is the secret just "if you build it, they will come?" I suspect it isn't since the competition is fierce, there has to be something beyond

Since you've been making games for 20 years, I'm guessing you're at least in your thirties. Just curious - do you develop games purely as a hobby, or are you able to make a living from it? If it's the latter, I'd lo

Live streaming is, by nature, a "one-to-many" distribution model, where content flows from a single source to many viewers in real time. BT, on the other hand, is fundamentally designed for "many-to-many" distribution, w

If I remember correctly, PopcornTime was able to stream via BT. Your claims are mostly correct, but I think some compromises can be made to make BT clients streaming proof. For example: 1. locally-randomizing segments download order 2. Crea
