They just want to annihilate the non-believers. If the Jews wouldn't have priority, they would probably bully the majority Sunni Palestinians themselves. > Just work on improving your economy, educating your kids, building up your i

Egypt and Jorden are totally fine without nukes. The only thing they had to do is stop attacking Israel, stop funding terrorist organizations that do and stop threatening Israel with annihilation. Iran is the aggressor here. If they would j

Right. You just wanna see Israel burn either way.

It's crazy to me that this is peoples take away. Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas have the explicitly stated goal to annihilate Israel and its people. But Israel is the genozidal one. They're attacking military targets in Iran. Iran is bomb

so you think they're not trying to get a nuke?

I bet. The middle east is more complicated than quantum mechanics. There are like gazillions of factions, local and foreign. You would think you can roughly group them into Israel+US, Russia, Shia, Sunni. They surely all hate each other. Bu

No idea whether that estimate is accurate but 3 years doesn't sound long for an existential risk. If a large astroid hits earth in 3 years, I better do something now. Should probably have invaded 10 years ago.

Unfortunately, I think it does. Even if customers don't want all that extra stuff and will never use it, it sells better.

Man that "Unreasonable Effectiveness of ..." pattern is getting a bit overused. With the original paper [1] you could still say that there really is some deeply philosophical mystery. But they now slap that on everything. [1] htt

Same. Until I discovered those parser combinator libraries which are THE way to do parsing in Haskell. It makes parsing so pleasant you'll never need a regex again. A parser for that CSV file probably looks like this: line = deci

If you have a pair of functions for encoding/decoding "something" you can do a round-trip and test that you get the original input back out, e.g.: JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(randomObject)) === randomObject That often

100% agree. I did not understand induction until I learned Coq. It really shows how mechanical proving can be.

I think at least some people who say this think of Java-esque type systems. And there I agree: it is a boilerplate nightmare.

That's both creepy and extremely interesting. It almost sounds like an acid trip.

Maybe I have that. I can totally solve much more complicated problems but this fencepost shit just messes with. Recently I thought last quarter ended March 1st because a quarter has 3 months and March is the third month.

What you mean with unidiomatic? If a language has Maybe<T> = None | Just<T> as a core concept then it's idiomatic by definition.

fast forward a hundert years and there is a massive culture war between the "rotation slowdown deniers" and people religiously buying "rotation friendly" products.
