“During a counterterrorism activity in the area of Turmus Aya, IDF soldiers identified three terrorists who hurled rocks toward the highway, thus endangering civilians driving,” the Israeli army said in a statement.

“The soldiers opened fire toward the terrorists who were endangering civilians, eliminating one terrorist and hitting two additional terrorists.”

How the fuck does anyone defend Israel when they are literally gunning down children for throwing rocks at cars.

What the honest fuck. I honestly cannot fathom how anyone could support Israel after they have committed atrocity after atrocity.

Lmao, this is absolute defeatist nonsense.

"You've gotta help us doc, we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

Because here's the thing, you literally just can ban advertising. Ban billboards, ban tv Ads, ban social media advertising.

You can still have companies publish information about their product, but that's not what advertising is in the context of this discussion.

It's also a form free market distortion that actual economic conservatives should hate.

Rather than having firms compete for who can make the best product or service, advertising instead lets them compete based on who can best psychologically manipulate the population en masse.

It's a "rich get richer" mechanic that any halfway competent dev would've patched out for balance reasons a long time ago.

You could but you'd be drawing a false equivalency.

Copilot web is honestly better than Google these days.

Do you have any resources by any chance that explain the difference well?

I work in high level software, so understand the benefit of doing things at ide time vs compile time vs runtime, and I've coded in assembly back in the day and understand instruction sets at a very rough level, but I'm not really familiar with specifically what differentiates RISC / ARM / x64, or why RISC's reductions would be good / bad / what trade-offs come with them.

The answer is no, and has been no for a while.

Lol Dean Blundell the shock jock? Is this audio legit? Has anyone vetted that it's not faked?

For an IDE.

I can configure VSCode as a full IDE for say C#/.Net development, and it performs pretty much just as well as VS which is written natively.

Ditto for configuring it as a Python IDE vs PyCharm, ditto for Java and Eclipse, ditto for basically everything else.

And I'm sorry but I have to respectfully disagree here: VIM / Neovim / any purely text based editor has never had anywhere near the same feature set as VS Code + it's extensions. They are more performant, run anywhere, and can be configured to be quite powerful, but they're still fundamentally hamstrung by using a typewriter's line by line interface rather than being able to easily draw arbitrary 2d or 3d graphics and use the power of CSS styling.

Like, just drawing out a list of items, and then being able to get more detail on one of those items, is fundamentally a pain in command line, requiring a list command and then an item detail command or a list verbose command, where is in a GUI you just list items and can then expand them or hover on them for more info.

My point is that there's no way forward without abruptly pruning several storylines. Thus, the story is basically impossible to finish in a satisfying way, and this is all we're gonna get from him.

I generally agree, but Dan and Dave fucked it up beyond all recognition. They were not the editor it needed.
