Its a mystery how "the terrorists" have launched 1000's of missiles & drones, in 70+ (and counting) waves, across 3 weeks, spanning across the region, and yet they have ABJECTLY FAILED to:

* hit any hospital

* blow up any school

* nor murder any journalists.

Yet, despite this stunning lack of accuracy from ... "the terrorists", they have somehow managed to hit EVERYTHING ELSE they were aiming at.

On the other hand, the "West", who are absolutely NOT terrorists, have managed to blow up schools, slaughter hundreds and hundreds of school children, smash multiple hospitals, take out as many health workers & first responders as possible with double tap strikes ...

and let's not even mention the number of journalists deliberately targeted & killed, nor the families of journalists, deliberately targeted & killed

And to answer the "but they killed 25 million of their own civilians just weeks ago", it would be almost churlish to point out that the MASSIVE pro-Iran public sentiments expressed by ALL sectors of Iranian society would, to a logically thinking person, lead one to conclude that perhaps, just perhaps, the media campaign behind those riots was just pushing a complete LIE. Because those reports don't fit in a reality where, under direct bombardment and personal risk, those same civilians are supporting their state, their government & their leadership.

As always, the simplest explanations which fit observable facts are usually closest to the actual truth. And the simplest explanation is that the "definitely NOT terroristic" West has been lying about Iran, consistantly, for decades.

Either that, or the Mango Mussolini is the new Oracle of Delphi.

Go pick the hill you want to stand on ...


Actually Iran has hit the Soroka hospital in Israel in the previous war and the Weizmann Institute, a research university

Iran literally hit a preschool in Israel today, with an MRV which is solely designed to terrorize the population (and is a war crime btw). Plus a 12 year old is in critical condition alongside 40 civilians from a single Iranian missile hitting a residential building later today. And in June Iran hit a hospital in Israel with a ballistic missile.

> Its a mystery...

Not a mystery, though, is it? Israel has excellent air defense which is why the damage isn't x10 worse. But Iran is definitely making a huge effort to hit the civilian population for maximum damage.

Unlike Iran which is literally aiming statistical weapons at population centers, the US has high accuracy weapons - the school was hit because intelligence wasn't up to date (it used be an IRGC building).

Your comment is absolutely misinformed, or worse, spreading disinformation on purpose.


cuis smalltalk has multiple "browsers". One browser allows you to restrict your view of the system (the leftmost pane) to a specific package (eg: the one you're actively creating right now).


You may be aware of this already, but if not: it sounds like tiddlywiki was made specifically with you in mind.


It would be, if I could discipline myself to carry it around on a thumb drive --- the one time I tried that, I left it in a computer at work and when I got back the next day, it was gone (really hated that job/workplace).


If you're on iOS there's a neat little Tiddlywiki "client" called Quine

(I know Tiddlywiki is just an html file) but it syncs it and makes using it quite smooth. I think it can be synced with iCloud or whatever


Since I have to have a Wacom EMR stylus on my devices, no iOS here (which I'm kind of bummed about) --- it kills me that I mislike the Apple Pencil (and that Apple won't make a stylus-enabled Mac, or a device w/ an e-ink screen).


He's referring ... to his "art". Thats what the piece he linked to was a part of.

Its not poisonous nor reductive to decide not to follow an "artist" because his "art" is repulsive.


"I will never read anything by [AUTHOR] because some things [AUTHOR] wrote are now in my no no list."

Sorry, that just doesn't make sense to me.


With the amount of fiction available to read, why give your money to authors who are bad people?


Did you read the thing I linked? It's on the same level as the Turner Diaries or Fu Manchu or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

I'm only on this earth for so many years, and the number of words I can shove in my eye holes is finite. Dan Simmons thought it was a good idea to write that, and publish it on his own blog. SF is the kind of genre where you run the risk of getting hit with a big bolus of the author's politics at any time, and why would I drink from a well somebody's already pooped in?


Sure, but at the same time it's debatable whether even an artist themselves gets to retroactively reinterpret their own art that way.


https://github.com/teclabat/tcltk-binaries

For jimtcl (the production-ready minimalistic tcl implementation which antires started (with full closures & gc'able lambdas) - probably an outgrowth of picol), you can get static "(some) batteries included" binaries at:

https://github.com/dbohdan/jimsh-static

For full tcl with the kitchen sink, bathtub & shower included, for android (hence the name) & regular Linux:

https://androwish.org/home/home


Well, if you use flightaware to track flights, you're using tcl. The vast majority of their codebase is in tcl.


I read your BRILLIANT synopsis in the tone of Sir Humphrey (the civil servant) from "Yes Minister". Fits perfectly. Take a bow, good sir ...


Wow, thats one hell of a reaction to someone's blog post introducing their new project.

Its almost as if someone charged you $$ for the privilege of reading it, and you now feel scammed, or something?

Perhaps you can request a refund. Would that help?


Hmm, so this is essentially the appimage concept applied to web pages, namely:

- an executable header

- which then fuse mounts an embedded read-only heavily compressed filesystem

- whose contents are delivered when requested (the entire dwarf/squashfs isn't uncompressed at once)

- allowing you to pack as many of the dependencies as you wish to carry in your archive (so, just like an appimage, any dependency which isn't packed can be found "live"

- and doesn't require any additional, custom infrastructure to run/serve

Neat!


Ah, so the daily LARGE protests, in Venezuela, against his kidnapping are not indicative of "the vast majority of Venezuela".

But the celebratory pics, which were claimed to be from Venezuela, but were actually from Miami and elsewhere (including, I kid you not, an attempt to pass off Argentine's celebrating a Copa America win) ... that is indicative of "the vast majority of Venezuela"?

If I were smarter, I might start to wonder why, if President Maduro was so unpopular, why would his abductors have to resort to fake footage - which was systematically outed & destroyed by independent journalists within 24 hours? I mean, surely, enough real footage should exist.

Probably better not to have inconvenient non-US-approved independent thoughts like that.


do you have links, all the chatgpt and gemini references I've seen show the large protest happened 1 time, not daily. And beyond that, the chatbots suggest it's overwhelming support for the arrest.

There are no news sites claiming large daily protests that you claim.
