These reports also aren't counting anyone of entire families that were eliminated, which has been #Israel's strategy. Every one of my students in #Gaza who I've been in contact with since Oct 7 has lost contact and hasn't logged on in over a month now; I can only imagine they are all now dead. I guarantee you they've killed at least 200K Palestinians at this point, just like we thought only 100K people were killed in #Iraq, which later came out to be well over a million. And the destruction in Gaza is incomparable.
In all honesty, and I mean this with the gravest severity, I wouldn't be surprised if #Israel has already killed half a million #Palestinians in #Gaza at this point. From looking at the sheer scale of the ongoing destruction, including the bombing of every hospital and the policy of forced #famine, along with all of my students appearing to have been killed, it seems feasible that they've murdered 20-25% of the population by now.
@hegeliantaco the difference is that continuations reify the stack allowing arbitrary jumps between frames, and thus are more akin to longjmp (with delimited continuations being strictly longjmp)
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of lang struggle.
Compiled and interpreted, AOT and JIT, static and dynamic, IDE and REPL; in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary construction of a metacircular evaluator, or in the common ruin of the contending compilers.
@KatS I've never really learned it but its pretty easy to find what you're looking for. Elisp is just fun because its so interactive and immediately useful.
This looks interesting but is it just me or is the use of the word "sovereign" a right wing dog whistle/red flag?
Is sovereign a word used in outside of the context of right-wing libertarian circles? Is it a compsci term and I'm just ignorant of its uses outside of right wing politics?
Sovereign is a normal word to use when discussing jurisdiction and law, it is ultimately the right to decide over life and death — the divine right of kings. But "sovereign citizens" or any ideology combining the idea of sovereignty and individualism is typically anarcho-capitalist right wing nonsense.
never once have I been reading a book only for it to randomly interrupt me with an unrelated commercial break, causing me to lose my flow. just saying.
The post linked in this toot talks about how repls are stuck in the line-based nature of terminals which limits their utility, and something like Smalltalk would be better.
However, that would require having a whole graphical environment, would it not?
As a fan of the common lisp approach where the editor hooks into a running image
And can dynamically modify and re-evaluate things, that seems like a more scalable approach.
@crmsnbleyd i agree, repls need to be simple and generic, they shouldn't require a display server to run. And acting like "line mode" can't be treated like a DOM or similar GUI model is more of a skill issue than genuine limitation.
As someone Jewish who grew up in Israel, and has family there, I am very skeptical of people who claim all anti-Zionism is antisemitic. There's usually another post nearby explaining why it's totally OK for Israel to kill 10,000 children.
@itamarst We were the first anti-Zionists. Even in the early 19th century before Zionism proper, misnagdim litvaks + the actual perushim (disciples of the Gra who migrated to al-Quds to join the Old Yishuv... which today is represented by Neturei Karta & Edah Chareidi but attributed to the zionist Rivlin family in Zionist pseudo-history) issued fatwas against all the representatives of the Haskalah who had started flirting with the idea of a Jewish colony in Palestine. I think this is important to remember because it highlights that anti-Zionists have never had a problem with Jews migrating to Palestine. The problem is colonizing Palestine, establishing "Jewish sovereignty" there in direct defiance of exile.
