How many people died of famine in Gaza?

Read the article

I did. 450, according to CNN, no sources cited, and no reference to how many died of hunger before the war. One thing I did not expect on this board is innumeracy.

That's presumably the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

But, obviously, there's no reliable source in a war zone, and starving people often don't die directly from hunger, but from disease after being weakened. Most statistics about deaths from famines are estimates after the fact.

It is probably more related to people replacing multithreaded services with single-threaded workers.

I do not play games. I quietly celebrate each time my Linux-certified Fedora laptop successfully wakes up from sleep.

Is anyone even remotely curious why do government offices with no desks exist?

It's GSO-owned real estate. Most cities have seen a precipitous drop in office utilization post-COVID, and it's a weak market for selling commercial office space.

It's likely tax-exempt from property taxes, upkeep is likely minimal, and even empty office space is an appreciating asset. I'd be more surprised if it didn't exist.

Appreciation of the asset doesn't matter if you are leasing it. Neither does tax exemptions if you are the government.

Do you know what a lease is? I can explain if you need.

This is like asking "Why does my car that I leased for 3 years still exist after 1?" Idk man.

I hope your leased car has a driver's seat and can be driven. Also, I hope you leased the car with your own money

> hope your leased car has a driver's seat and can be driven

Huh?

And what does my own money have anything to do with this? The leases were bought and then they had to pay. Are you implying people knew Covid was going to hit when they got these leases? It's hard for me to understand why this is such a complex thing to grasp. Particularly since it's been a focal point in our lives for 4 straight years.

You are speaking with 100% certainty of the timelines. You don't know any details of these leases and are simply making assumptions. Even if your assumptions are correct, the pandemic officially ended 2 years ago.

> Even if your assumptions are correct, the pandemic officially ended 2 years ago.

You think the effects of a pandemic that literally stopped the world for over an entire year just goes away with the last case? I knew I was arguing with children on this site.

The pandemic pushed everyone home. The office buildings that were leased are no longer needed. And EVEN SO, you could make the argument that prematurely ending a lease when you weren't sure the biggest raging dipshit on this planet wouldn't get elected and force everyone back in (like he is doing right now) despite it being a really really dumb idea isn't that far-fetched.

You idiots will go to the ends of the earth to defend the absolute shitshow that is Doge and have this unbelievable need to believe that the government is chalk full of poeple who couldn't be bothered to make sure they weren't spedning millions on useless shit. GFTO

Read a book for christ's sake.

Have you read a single lease contract? Take your meds and read one

It is counterintuitive, but this feature did not do much for the Scala ecosystem. I wrote some toy projects but have not seen any in the real world.

some of the largest scala codebases under active development make heavy use of this feature.

Sure but but the argument here is that Scala.js failed to grow the ecosystem. It doesn't convince people who aren't already.

Jon DeGoes still works on the ZIO ecosystem along with his Rust projects.

True, I never implied otherwise. When I commented, I was referring to things he said in his article: https://degoes.net/articles/splendid-scala-journey

How come the hate? That's a pretty strong emotion for something as benign as a programming language.

Not OP, but the usual talking points were covered pretty well in this thread from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42884337

To sum it up, the biggest complaints are error handling, null handling, and dependency management. And y’know, being backed by a company of ghouls hellbent on extracting value for themselves at the expense of society.

Huh, people are extracting whole bunch of value in Python at expense of society. Should I blame Python or its contributor for it?

I fundamentally disagree with the assertion that Python operates at the expense of society.

Google is an exploitative monopoly. There’s been plenty of ink spilled on the subject to the point that I feel no obligation to repeat it.

While it’s true that GVR is currently employed by Microsoft, the ecosystem of Python is far more anarchic and decentralized.

I think he was probably making a comment about Python in regards to PyTorch and AI's energy usage.

i.e. Whether a language exists "at the expense of society" probably depends less on who makes the language, and more on what you do with it.

dependency management in Go is best in class what are you talking about? go mod is that good.

Referring to this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42885476

I don’t personally have a bone to pick with Go mod, save for how the GOPROXY DoS issue was handled.

I use Go a lot and I completely disagree. I have also used Ruby a lot and even though I prefer writing Go most of the time (it depends on the task) bundler is far better.

go mod is the second best I've used for sure, but if someone releaed bundler-but-for-go I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.

Strongly opinionated languages beget strong opinions on the same, both positive and negative.

These sorts of comments always make me wonder what you prefer.

I make a living with go, scala, python, rust, java, and sometimes ts and Js. I prefer scala and sometimes rust.

No one wants to talk about the amount of catching up the West needs to do in areas of AI and robotics/drones

Facts. OpenAI thought they had a moat, but even with the shittiest of GPUs, China managed to developer a better, faster, and cheaper mode, AND they open-sourced it.

With that being said, Llama 4 will be CRAZY

In some ways the discussion on banning DJI is also a discussion of simultaneously stimulating a few home-grown companies.

When I was six, some older kid showed me this trick, but I could never really cross my eyes. These days, I wear glasses, so I guess no new superpowers for me.

Does it not work with glasses?

it does work with glasses

I used to grab coffee in Toronto's Nordstrom cafe. The store was positioned so that you had to cross it after getting out of the subway on your way to other stores and offices—as prime of a location as it gets. It still got tanked by the rent
