Of course, goes without saying - the parts I'm most happy to discuss here are about the tech... though... this was a slow-burn of a project I started nearly a year ago and then abandoned. I think the pixel-perfect occlusion query stuff

I do consider it a feature, in hindsight. Learning to program by asking "dumb" questions was great, because chats were ephemeral, nobody cared if the same question was asked for the 10 millionth time or risk of embarrassment being

Starting in the 1800's is pretty arbitrary. Try going back a couple thousand years. I am not interested in debating Ethiopia, I know nothing about it, and wouldn't presume to take a strong position on a subject I know so little ab

You have it completely inverted. I am talking about the indigenous people returning to their land. I am talking about the original (and much more prolific) religious claims to land being restored over subsequent weak-claimed usurpers. That&

Interesting.. believe it or not, I don't pay much attention to politics as I often feel like they miss the forest for the trees and exchange integrity for votes. But at a glance- it seems like I am in fact proposing something like his

0% of those who accept Israeli government wholeheartedly, choose to live as law-abiding citizens, and teach their children to do the same (similar to many Israeli-Arab and Druze populations today). 100% of those who actively support the era

That's the question we should be asking and the pressure Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan need to be put under by Saudi Arabia, UAE, US, France, Russia, China, etc. I realize that's a stretch- but it shouldn't be. Fantasy sc

Re: genocide. None of those criteria fit when talking about Palestinians in the West Bank (or Gaza before the war, but let's put that aside for now). The Palestinian population has increased in Israel, they are free to roam, reproduce,

Simple question which I asked before- if you accuse Israel of genocide, why is the IDF not dropping bombs on Ramallah? One would think that if the goal were genocide, Israel wouldn't discriminate between the PA and Hamas, right?

What's the irony, what's the arrogance? You can't just say "what if" without proof (I mean, say whatever you want.. but..) Back up your accusations with simple explanations please, I am not going to go watch 30 minu

What does proportion have to do with anything? You can't actually expect a country at war to supply the enemy with ammunition, period. I don't expect Hamas to allow an Arutz Sheva, or even Haaretz, office to operate on their air

Yes, in many facets of this war Israel is held to a higher standard than America itself. When the towers were hit, the gloves came off. America wasn't accused of genocide when civilians were accidentally killed as they went after ISIS.

It's often desirable for UI to be described in a declarative fashion, i.e. instead of where you have "do something" (set button color to red), refactoring so it becomes "is something" (button is red if state is x) I

I write frontend web code in Rust (dominator). There is no plugin for Figma that handles this out of the box, but by copy pasting the CSS and putting it in a comment, Co-Pilot can then infer the transformation to Rust syntax. In the past I

Hamas has the stated aim of jihad in their official charter, targets civilians, and quite literally wants to murder every "Zionist" (even those in America). That is their actual stance. It's insane and why they are recogniz

In the exact same way that blockchain does - you present a token that can be validated by your peers. However, in blockchain it's the combo of your private key to sign your wallet, along with the consensus engine where decentralized vo
