Jake Archibald has an excellent post about progressive image rendering, including some metrics on JPEG XL compared to AVIF[0]. > "I was also surprised to see that, in Safari, JPEG XL takes 150% longer (as in 2.5x) to decode vs an eq

Nifty, but I see they don't support Facebook or X? That's a showstopper for a lot of people, including me.

What a remarkably misleading copypasta you have there. Rav Kook was not Israel's first rabbi. He died in 1935 - a full 18 years before Israel's rebirth. Nor was Kook the founder of Zionism. The belief that Jews should be able to r

Gaza (Hamas), the West Bank (Fatah), and Lebanon (Hezbollah) are the reason this technology is needed in the first place: violent religious fundamentalists firing cheap rockets at Jewish cities because of religious hatred. Over 16,000 rocke

Israel saw over 16,000 rocket attacks last year from fundamentalist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and Yemen. The Iron Dome intercepted ~90% of them, resulting in thousands of lives saved. Iron Beam is the newer incarnation of this tec

Fatah does rule the West Bank. That Israel has security checkpoints only reinforces the reality that Palestinian self-determination is undermined primarily not by Israel, but by its own violence against Jews. If there weren't some 50 t

Ah, the "Nakba", the catastrophe: the 1948 war where Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Islamic Holy War Army invaded Israel, despite being legally partitioned by the United Nations. Yes, what a catas

Sure. Just tell me how Israel should prevent the hundreds of terrorist attacks per month coming from the West Bank. There were 214 terrorist attacks per month in 2023, now down to 57/month today; thanks primarily to new security checkp

Israel does have a military presence in the West Bank due to the monthly terrorist attacks on Jewish citizens in the West Bank and Israel, currently at 57 attacks per month this year. As for settlers, I ask readers to observe the double sta

Perhaps there would be more freedom and self-determination for the West Bank if the Fatah government redirected spending its resources from terrorism to infrastructure and services for its people? In 2023, there were 214 terrorist attacks p

Thank you for acknowledging that 2 million Arabs live in Israel with full citizenship and rights. That undermines the claim that Israel is an apartheid state. As for the West Bank, it's ruled by Fatah, not Israel. Israel provides for i

Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005[0], evacuating every Jewish citizen and dismantling homes and synagogues. Today, there are zero Jews living in Gaza. Gaza is run by Hamas and the West Bank by Fatah. Israel does not "control [that] ter

This is interesting for sure. Kudos for bringing this capability to the web! One issue the demos reveal is, it doesn't _feel_ like the web. That is, I can't hit Ctrl+F to find text on a page. I can't select text with my curso

I know you meant it sarcastically, but Charlie appreciated thoughts and prayers. Because faithful Christians like Charlie believe prayer is powerful and effective, even if not in the way we want it to be.

Conservative, but definitely not alt-right. Kirk was a strong supporter of Jews and Israel, which put him at odds with the antisemitic alt-right. Kirk regularly spoke out against antisemitism on both the left and right. So much so, in fact,
