For what it's worth, I think the current cadence of allowing one flamewar every 3-4 weeks on this topic is bang on, you're not censoring it and also not letting it take over the site. Nice job.

I don't know that. Surrender what? Military control of the strip? Top ministers in Israel have been very clear that population-level suffering and ideally expulsion is their goal. Meanwhile, West Bank violence has skyrocketed. And

They ARE fixed-width binary data, and they're effectively opaque unless you have IEEE 754 open on your desk, it's all handled in hardware otherwise.

Fp32 or fp64 in a strongly typed language would be no problem as hash keys. Yes, they're imprecise for math but the 64 bits of data should work just like a long as a hash key.

All true but it's also worth adding that we've given Iran zero incentive to work with the IAEA. If they're going to get sanctioned and attacked anyways..

They were funding the Houthis for what, 10 years before the current fracas? And then the Houthis made peace pretty quickly. Their big picture strategic posture WAS to try and have a deal with us and normalize, but we've made it clear

Iran has behaved pretty rationally IMO. We killed one of their top generals, unprovoked, 5 years ago. Israel bombed their embassy in Syria a year ago. Both times, they sent telegraphed, calibrated missile barrages that let them deescalate

Ahh, yeah, misremembered, I was thinking of Asok. Still. "White guy writing about banal stuff must be white privilege/resentment" is a real stretch to apply to the comic during its prime. Your 2022 example only highlights t

They are far and away the leaders in manufacturing. Also the only country with a tech sector on near parity with the US. Yes, their housing market is messed up and that causes problems in the financial sector, but it's a real stretch t

So, I'm not sure if this is less cynical or more cynical, but.. have you ever talked to the decision-makers who buy something like databricks? They can't build it themselves, and it's highly dubious that they'd be able t

Libertarians took over a town in NH and abolished town wide garbage collection. The free market produced a bunch of trash in people's yards, which attracted bears, causing havoc all around town. True story. That's not to say you

By "pique", I mean that the motivating factor I've heard from most Trump people, and that I'm reading from your posts, is "make the libs cry". First term was fine, he was mostly harmless and made the libs cry e
