I don’t think the total dissolution of a blurry boundary is a useful act. Yes, many document formats become Turing complete and run Doom eventually, but there is still a notable practical distinction between the intent to create a document

If I knew what you would have Israel do, I would not have to ask. Why avoid putting into words what you evidently feel so strongly about?

You're in the easy position where nothing you have to decide is of any consequence. How would you have Israel deal with the situation? How would you have the coalition deal with ISIS? Disengage and leave the turf to the militants? Then

Hamas does not discriminate between civilian and military facilities in their operations. If there are militants near a piece of civilian infrastructure, should that give them legal immunity from being targeted, in your opinion? If so, how

You say it's purposeful, they say it's incidental. Israel still supplies Gaza with water, albeit at a substantially reduced rate. Roughly 40% of the water infrastructure remains operational[1]. Therefore, your maximalist claim of

Then why is this selectively applied to Israel? Turkey is doing (a), (b), (c) to Kurds right now, where are the scholars? It is such an open ended definition that it could be applied to almost any conflict.

First of all, you can not argue anyone out of thinking it looks stupid or ugly. That is a visceral subjective experience and the extra space or whatever does nothing to make up for it. Now for the bezels, mind that an equidistant circle (or

It is a ton of C++ for what is essentially something that an OS like Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS or the browser would provide anyway. Apps that use it ship with a substantial minimum amount of bloat, e.g. Flutter for web.

But what do people actually use Python for the most, at least as far as industry is concerned? Interfacing with those C extensions. PyPy does have an alternative ABI that integrates with the JIT and also works on CPython, so if people cared

Words derive their meaning from the context in which they are (not) used, which is not fixed and often changes over time. Few people actually use the word RESTful anymore, they talk about REST APIs, and what they mean is almost certainly ve

Sure they can, but if you define an interface that allows this, every container type implementing it must support it, and it is probably gonna be rather slow operation for the effort. That's why the question is not "can you do t

What is the use case for that? Seems more like a footgun, at least for a generic container interface.

...but you don't have to use it. You can keep using raw promises and you can trivially use any async/promise-based API with informal callbacks. I doubt many people want to do that, but they can. Of course, in (browser-compatible

There is no such thing as a "colorless" alternative to colored functions[1] in Javascript, at least as far as browser-compatibility is concerned. Promises are a convention for what used to be all the colors in the rainbow (and the

Stacks of doom are worse than 1UPT, but not every player experiences it that way. Joining units is a decent middle ground. The new mechanic (commanders) does not get this right in my opinion.
