Given the massive propaganda value of these claims in terms of justifying the current assault on Gaza, it's hard to imagine they wouldn't have found a way to include them. Maybe there's some other evdence but it seems odd tha

Rape and torture were not featured [1] in the recent propaganda movie Israel screened to select people in the West, so there's no reason to believe such footage exists. 1. https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status&#

> Israel would devolve into another failed middle eastern state. Ignoring the obvious racism here, in what sense is Israel a successful middle eastern state? It regularly attacks its neighbouring countries. It keeps 2.3 million people in

Ok.. but "Gaza" did not collectively plan anything and it still functions as a concentration camp even if it has internal governance.

We moved to bugbug.io. It felt a bit dishonest on the part of Rainforest to get people invested in their platform and then without warning add $2400 to their annual bill.

The idea of light bending around gravitational fields is so fascinating. I wonder if there's a part of the night sky where some photons that bounced off the earth billions of years ago are being directed back at earth.

Punishing Spanish Jews for the actions of the Israeli settler colony would be illegal and morally wrong.. and also what the settler colony wants.. they need more Jewish migration to continue displacing the local Palestinian population.

The only fair measure is per capita and both of those countries are still producing way less CO2 per person. Also China is now doing a sizeable proportion of your manufacturing.. shouldn't those emissions count against Americans?

Having two ways to do the same thing is the mistake, and print() was always more consistent with other built in functions are invoked.

We've always used https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx which is just the standard package + mapping to/from structs.

I'd agree with that and honestly I don't really care too much how our stuff is described except that it seems inaccurate and unfair to apply something like "closed source" to a BSL project that takes PRs, and to insist t
109.
by rowanseymour 3y ago
I don't think anyone is arguing that BSL is capital O Open Source, and even the BSL licence stressses that it is not an Open Source licence. But both "closed source" and "source available" feel like poor descriptors

by rowanseymour 3y ago
But it's not just visible... you can submit a PR if you like, and people do.

by rowanseymour 3y ago
Closed source doesn't preclude developers distributing it for free, BSL isn't claiming to be Open Source.. but it's silly to insist that that software that is *publically available* to anyone to download and run.. describe it

My example was a bit simplified but basically the function takes a SQL statement and a slice of structs that use db:column field tags. It's no more doing "weird reflection stuff" than say json.Marshal

It's the simplicity of the tooling for me. There's no config file besides a list of dependencies. I push my code to github and it can be a dependency because a dependency is just a URL. My code is automatically formatted and there

The reason is the same reason that anyone ever writes a generic function (outside of writing a library) - to keep code DRY and avoid duplication. There is no upside to maintaining a large number of identical function implementations, and no

by rowanseymour 3y ago
Prior to generics we relied heavily on dynamic typing via interface{}, for example: BulkInsert(db *sql.DB, objs []interface{}) This unfortunately meant that any time you had []Foo.. you had to allocate a new []interface{} and copy ov

Obviously you gotta work with what you got and it might be the best business decision to hire some junior devs with no experience outside of JS/TS and build your CLI tool in that. But that's never going to be the best tool for C

I just don't get this way of thinking and can't imagine calling myself an "X developer". The human brain is more than capable of being proficient in more than one language. It's also boring only using one language e
