Oh wow, this hits close to home. Hope it’s not bad form to plug an adjacent project on your post — felt too aligned not to, and it seems like we've converged on quite similar ideas! I’ve been working on Wetware [0], which has significa

I had a similar journey of enlightenment that likewise led me to OCaml. Unless you're doing low-level systems programming, OCaml will give you the "if it compiles, it's probably right" vibe with much less awkward stuff

Hard disagree. The IDF kills civilians, yes, but I am not aware of a deliberate effort to target civilians. The civilian deaths are overwhelmingly a consequence of Hamas blending in with the population and conducting operations where any

Stopping humanitarian operations because these are being targeted by the enemy is not the same as targeting populations, regardless of what partisan news out lets like TruthOut have to say about it. Everywhere you turn, you will find that H

Do LGBT people in Russia deliberately target non-combattants with shocking levels of violence? If not, then the definition might still hold meaning and Russia's appellation might be ridiculous.

The argument is that the IDF is targeting enemy combatants, and not deliberately targeting civilians (unlike, e.g. Hamas). The existence of non-combatant casualties alone does not imply terrorism.

I’m learning freeCAD by making a radiator fan shroud for my 1990 Mazda MX-5. I have no idea what I’m doing. If anyone wants to help out a n00b, I will be forever grateful.

Yes, conscription is a measure of last resort.

To your first point, it really ought not require a citation to understand that people who have been training full-time for years make better soldiers than people you pull out of civilian life and ship off to the front after a few months, an

For one: modern professional armies do not want this, because conscripts don’t make great soldiers.

Question from a non-cryptographer: why use 192bit nonces instead of 256? I can’t imagine those extra bits would be considered costly in any practical application.

One of the most delicious ironies in life is to ask these people why they think philosophy is poo-poo, and then revel in the fact that their answer is exactly philosophical in nature.
