Listening to interviews of the people from the west who have been to Gaza (doctors and nurses) I think it has been pretty clear what kind of violence is being perpetrated towards the civilian population. Things I found especially disturbing

Oh, but only at about 145 meters. Dinorvig has a fall of over 300m.

One of them is moving almost seven thousand 25-tonne concrete blocks around. I can't see how it would ever compete with something like compressed air. It just seems so awfully wasteful. If someone can find some real costs I would be mo

That is obviously a scam. Not a chance in hell. I am giving that one a 0% chance of long term success. Edit: no seriously. Do some back of the napkin maths. The amount of energy stored is too small. Way too small. And then the infrastructur

I remember writing it in high school end ending up using a wheel (circular data structure) to avoid any modulo at all. Then my HS teacher said that it should be extensible so I wrote a wheel generator. Despite writing things in scheme I end

There are many languages out there that can grow the stack these days. If you have a language that can do tail recursion, it is really a very neat complement. In lisps it means being able to write a list building function in a direct consin

I am in the other camp. I prefer tail recursion and recursion over loops. However: For the simple cases it can and should probably be abstracted away like the racket for loops or my own goof-loop [1]. I just feel that a recursive calls make

It is like upscaling. If you could train AI to "upscale" your audio or video you could get away with sending a lot less data. It is already being done with quite amazing results for audio.

Not a modal dialog. A right click menu. I have had so many focus issues on gnome that what I meant is that they should do a new take on the whole thing. The problem has gotten worse, not better, over the years.

by bjoli 1y ago
Gnome should follow suit. I still have problems with context menus stealing focus and locking it to the window where they are opened. When I right click in nautilus I have to close that menu before I can click anything not-nautilus. It happ

The correct answer is, and has always been: Haha. What? Of course I don't. Are you insane?

It would not be the first time palestinians have been called amalek. Considering other ministers hang out with people voicing those ideas, I am not sure it can be as easily dismissed. Ben Gvir had a portrait of Baruch Goldstein in his offic

Netanyahu claimed himself that Israel were providing weapons to the Popular Forces/ATF. Seemingly for the same reason they bolstered Hamas as the enemy of Fatah: the enemy of their enemy is their friend. That PF has IS connections does

Influx of illiterate people, sure. But then it is an even worse thing to cut taxes and cutting the budget for SFI (Swedish for immigrants). The school results are worse. Even here the claim is that it is the immigrants' fault. The priv

Except for under the ceasefire there has been no point in the conflict where enough supplies and food has gotten in. There is an acronym, SWEAT-MSO, Sewage, Water, electricity, academics, trash, medical, safety and other. It is a framework

Well,I don't know about a population that have displaced and occupied/imprisoned for such a long time. I feel fine calling the refugees. And don't try to claim Israel left Gaza in 2006 Area C is still under Israeli control, d

I can name four high ranking Hamas officials that were assassinated by Israel after proposing truces where they accept Israel as a nation. Yassin. Jabari. al-Rantisi. The latest one is Haniyeh who opened up for a long term truce with Israel

Every humanitarian organisation on the ground have said that these claims are false. What they HAVE claimed is that the gangs that are raiding aid are doing so with the support of the IDF: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-14/gaza-

On October 9, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said: “We are imposing a complete siege on [Gaza]. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel – everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we must act accordingly.” If that was not cl

Why do people vote for populists that inevitably will just do the bidding of the rich and powerful? That man is such a disgustingly clear example. The same thing is true in Sweden. People vote for the party that blames the immigrants and th

They are not so stupid to believe that this kind of dependency (the android one) is consequential in any way.

I wrote this, which I find more usable than racket's loops: https://rikspucko.koketteriet.se/bjoli/goof-loop It does not use mutation, and should produce just as efficient code as the racket loops. It is also exte

I am no fan of racket's for loops. It is frustrating, because it fells like an almost-goosd looping facility. I do use racket, but for scripts I prefer guile. Guile-fibers is a lot neater than the racket parallelism situation, for exam

Milk brags about their "proprietary extension". I understand that the vendors can do whatever they want, but that turns me off.

That makes sense. I have always thought about what I would do if I could make a "modern scheme". A lot would be taken from clojure but definitely not everything. Cons cells would stay, but the star of the show would be immutable v
