It is simply not possible to evacuate over one million people in 24 hours from the zone of attack in Gaza. The answer to horrific atrocities by Hamas cannot be collective punishment upon an entire population, 50 percent of which are children.

I love the simple FidoNet BBS rules. There are only two:

• Don't be excessively annoying.
• Don't be easily annoyed.

I was a FidoNet Sysop in the mid 90s and I can verify that the rules worked. Word to live by.

I used to be a functional programmer like you, but then I took a monoid in the category of profunctors to the knee

Just a reminder, #Israel (along witht he hamas) both have a well recorded history of using children as human shields during military conflicts, targeting civilian populations recklessly, enacting punishment intentionally on civilians, and generally engaging in terrorism.

These arent speculation, they have been called out many many times by Amnesty International, the UN and many other international bodies...

If you want to be appaled at terrorism in Israel you cant do so objectively if you forgive either side.

Share of electric cars on 🇳🇴 Oslo's roads now 40%, expected to reach 50% by autumn 2025 (half a year earlier than expected last year)

Heavy electric vehicles have doubled their share, mainly due to the influx of more electric buses.

Post-pandemic growth in road use appears to be leveling off.

Okay, productivity set-back: I can't figure out how to get #haskell #sdl2 library working with #nix

I usually get sdlExceptionError "Couldn't find matching render driver" or "Couldn't find matching GLX visual."

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents. /1

The cost of green #hydrogen has often been projected to fall dramatically over the coming years as #electrolyser manufacturing scales and #renewable electricity costs drop.
However, developers speaking at the Investing in #GreenHydrogen conference in London earlier this month warned that the costs are rather getting up.
The production cost of electrolysers will not follow the kind of curve one may expect in solar or others, since it’s different economics.

“Turning up your base too high blows out your Speaker.”

Cistercian Numbers; are an extremely interesting and basically forgotten number system developed 8 Centuries Ago. It is much more compact than Arabic and Roman systems, you can basically write any integer from 1 to 9999 with one character.

I hope this spurs a rethink of fediblock policy. Conflicts over Palestine/BDS and how commentary related to it can be considered antisemitic/dangerous, is my go to example to lefties re why moderation on the #fediverse needs to be more nuanced. Less about safety than preventing the abuse that shuts down conversations. But that depends on what you want this place to be about. Sharing the best art and journalism or just a place to hang out with your peeps? #fediblockmeta

I'm sorry if my timeline for the next week is filled with landscapes and scenes from the mountains of the Picos de Europa. I have only just been able to get the images off camera (I know, I'm a bit old school that way!).

The mountains here completely blew me away! Anyway, here's a sample from the week to come. Dramatic peaks, cloud inversions, narrow gorges and beautiful alpine meadows.

Analysts keep modeling a classic #EV S-curve as linear because no one loses their job for taking the under. “EV transition will take 30 years”— nah 🤡https://rmi.org/the-ev-revolution-in-five-charts-and-not-too-many-numbers/

We may have passed some kind of Turing threshold when you go to a web page and can't decide if it's LMM-generated nonsense or simply the same old human-authored SEO-optimized bullshit as before.

And when pretty much every page in Google's search results is now one or the other.

A Venn diagram of faculty who don’t read directions and those who complain students don’t read the syllabus is a single circle.
