  • Old Mac OS before Mac OS X used : as path separator Macintosh HD:Users:yourUserName:Desktop:My File.txt. It’s still used for AppleScript. Converting from and to POSIX paths using / happens pretty regularly when writing AppleScript nowadays.

    That’s also the reason why : is still an illegal character to use for file names on macOS.

  • The UN and aid organizations of course don’t publicize their inability to distribute aid inside Gaza. They will always blame Israel. However there are also statements by aid organizations and UN that they can’t distribute because of armed groups.

    COGAT are the ones actually checking and counting all the trucks going into Gaza. Aid organizations only count their own trucks, so their numbers are always too low. Commercial trucks have been going into Gaza all the time as well.

  • There is no meaningful difference between getting rid of a group by forcefully removing them and destroying them.

    Please read that again. There’s a gigantic difference between dead or alive.

    100,000 Armenians were ethnically cleansed in 2023 with less than a dozen civilian deaths. Compared that to the Armenian Genocide at the beginning of the 20th century with a million deaths.

    Using the same term genocide for both is watering down the term. It betrays why it was coined in the first place.

    Of course it’s still a terrible crime.

  • Your watered down use of the word genocide is the core of the issue.

    There is no mention of the word genocide in this article for starters.

    They aren’t in this list of genocides either. Only the Pontic genocide is listed where 25% of Greeks in Turkey were killed.

    Do you consider the forced exodus of Jews from Arab and Muslim countries after Israel’s independence a genocide?

  • From the same Wikipedia article.

    Ethnic cleansing has been described as part of a continuum of violence whose most extreme form is genocide. Ethnic cleansing is similar to forced deportation or population transfer. While ethnic cleansing and genocide may share the same goal and methods (e.g., forced displacement), ethnic cleansing is intended to displace a persecuted population from a given territory, while genocide is intended to destroy a group.

    Your quote is just a bunch of insinuations leading questions without an answer. Pure bad faith.

  • During the time of his he pier, trucks were also getting in from other entrypoints. Israel even constructed and opened new ones.

    The problem with aid availability was mostly related to challenges with distribution inside Gaza.

    The pier had the same issue. Aid was piling up next to it, but distribution further into Gaza was slow.

  • Programming languages come with their own niches, tools, culture, and history. Gradle has lots of verbosity, complexity, and so on. It’s a build system and a dependency manager in one. Other languages separate these duties.

    A cultural preference for tools written in specific languages or available for specific platforms exists as well. Lots of C/C++ programmers dislike everything Java. They will cite performance and philosophy. They ask why should they install and manage JVM versions and installs for a task they can do with a make file, a shell script, and Conan/vcpkg.

    Not even all Java folks use gradle. maven and ant ant are still around and I’ve seen someone write Java build tasks using rake.

  • Also known as “ethnic cleansing”.

    Evacuation of civilians from warzones is not only legal under international humanitarian law, it’s required.

    “Human shields” argument also completely unsubstantiated

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_human_shields_by_Hamas#2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war

    hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed

    Hamas run health minister claims 62,000 dead and missing. Where are you getting these ridiculous numbers?

    Gaza Strip has been completely flattened

    Estimates are 59.8% of buildings in the Gaza Strip had been damaged or destroyed.

    Destroyed buildings are not a genocide.

    What he’s posting is literal genocidal incitement

    You have completely lost the plot.

    I never advocated for Palestinians to be killed.

  • provide any real proof of this

    https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/how-israel-avoided-bidens-red-line-ad715144

    For obvious reasons, I don’t have transcripts of secret diplomatic meetings.

    saying the “red line” had not been crossed, despite Rafah having been completely destroyed

    Yes, because the civilians had more time to leave because of US pressure.

    would have ended the genocide

    The ICJ ordered Israel to take measures that ensure there won’t be a genocide.

    It’s a brutal war in in a dense urban environment against a deeply entrenched enemy hiding behind civilians.

  • The American left completely splintered into subgroups that all hated each other and nobody was good enough to be an ally.

    Supporting a two state solution is nowadays branded as colonialist fascism.

    Not only the right became more extreme, the left has radicalized to an extreme level as well.
