Please do teach us all how to wage a war on a jihadist organization, with zero civilian casualties. How would you do that? Apparently, extreme targeting by micro explosive devices is not enough. No matter what Israel would do, it will alway

You do know that those Hezbollah members have been firing hundreds of rockets daily for a year into Israel, right? The fact that those rockets killed limited number of people is a matter of skill, not will.

reinventing the wheel for trivial things like progress bars and so on (e.g. tqdm) makes zero sense to me.

Do not develop new cancer drugs too, because people in Africa are dying in masses from HIV and Malaria. Do not invest in sustainable energy solutions because that would benefit only the rich who could afford the costly infrastructure. Makin

I have been playing civ since civ2 and have been a major fan. However, i have to say that the concept has change very little and much of the focus has been on making new and improved graphics than actually enriching the game. My hope for Ci

Firstly, the territory in question is contested. Although I acknowledge that it is occupied—the West Bank by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt—historically, these areas were never considered Palestinian. To clarify, I fully support the establishment

Benjamin Netanyahu has generally been averse to war over the years, often avoiding major conflicts. However, following the debacle on Oct 7th, there has been increasing pressure for his resignation. In this context, the current conflict may

Assuming that's true—and it's a significant "if," given that every story has multiple perspectives and The Guardian's known critical stance toward Israel—such behavior by Israel would indeed be disgraceful. As an Is

I worked in carpeting, which involved glueing and unglueing carpets from floors. Although I had this job only for a year to save money for university, it was a miserable year. I developed a severe allergy to dust, the fumes from the glue me

So, actually the paper isn't saying that we are all spinning in sync with the center of every galaxy out there. What it's really getting at is that each galaxy might be spinning or moving in its own special way because of the spec

Disclaimer: the authors are good friends of mine and I'm a computer scientist, not a physicist, so I'll try my best to explain it: The basic idea here, is that the reference frames used to measure galaxy rotation curves may not be

Strange they didn't mention in this article that the discrepencies in the galactic rotation curves can actually be explained without any novel physics or particles ("dark matter"): https://www.mdpi.com/2075-44

The border between journalists and militants is quite blurry in Gaza. Many of the so-called journalists actively participated in the 7/10 massacre.

I mostly agree with all of your points. But IMHO, if (and that's a big if nowadays, with modern web and mobile dev) text editing is the core task of the app your'e using as your IDE, then all the graphics are just redundant. All t

Curious to see how it goes. For 20 years I have been working with Vim and recently added the Co-pilot plugin which is awesome. I can't however see myself using a different editor/IDE than the good'ol vim. It's not that I

If Israel could have removed all Hamas presence from Gaza without harming a fly, it would have done so already. Ask Hamas if they would be willing to co exist with jews, on this same piece of tiny land you'll get your answer. They stat

You are aware that multicellular life exist less than 500Myrs right? The event you're worried about is so far out in the future that no discussion about humans, or any living organism for that matter, is meaningless.

Well, that's because the premise of actions or policies being "right" or "wrong" is very simplistic. Both sides are active in the PR front, you think those "free palestine" rallies organize themselves?

Your perspective seems to skim the surface of a deeper issue. Let's be direct: what should a country do when 1,200 of its citizens are brutally killed? This isn't just theoretical; it's a grim reality that demands a firm resp

I get where you're coming from, But let's put things in perspective. First off, nobody's saying that the loss of innocent lives, especially children, isn't tragic. It's heartbreaking, and every life lost is a huge d

Actually, there's no genocide happening in Gaza. Yes, there are way too many civilian casualties, which is awful. But here's the thing: Hamas often launches attacks from places where people live, putting those civilians in danger.

Would love to see evidence for such a "plan" for ethnic cleansing. It would be a rather absurd plan to cleanse a territory in which you are not only a minority, but also surrounded by Arab countries which were pretty adamant about

I contest the use of the word "native" in that regard. People have immigrated constantly throughout history from place to place. Many palestinians bare the names of their 19th-18th century origins. Last names such as "Al-Masr

trashing on Israel became a rather common pastime activity ... I wonder how much of what is written is not fictional, given the misuse of words such as "sterilization". What's next? testing for christian children's blood
