I hate how in common parlance "algorithm" has become synonymous with "recommender system", when it's so much more basic of a concept. But whenever I used to gripe about it, or inform people of the more specific terminology back on reddit I was downvoted. So thanks to you for bringing it up first.

I wonder, are there any intermediate languages that are non-binary? Java bytecode and the Microsoft Intermediate Language are both represented by binary files I think.

Little bit of a shame that he reads the thorn as b :-(

Otherwise pretty funny

Good eye, the left two are copied and flipped to also be the right two.

Here's the independet article, that was used for the screenshot. It doesn't even feature the base image:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/cow-escape-farm-live-bison-herd-poland-bialowieza-forest-belarus-a8177876.html

However following the link from there to the Polish original story brings us to the original picture:

We can also see there that the cow was shifted closer to the three original bison to make the grouping tighter.

I didn't want to touch on the intent question, because to some degree it's not knowable from the outside and to some degree there is a multitude of intents out there. And since the resettlement already doesn't fit the "method" criteria I thought I didn't have to.

For what it's worth I think Trump is more likely just trying to quiet the situation in a heavy handed way, for a political win, and to satisfy Israeli interests and maybe also to satisfy some interest groups local to him. I don't think he has a reason to want to destroy Palestine as a nation or identity. On the other hand he also wouldn't give much of a shit about their interests. And of course he spouts this stuff quickly, without careful analysis beforehand, as always.

In contrast I think some of the Israeli parties, the extreme settler ones, probably would like the Palestinian Identity gone, so they can "finally" claim all the land they want to call Israel.

As for Netanyahu, I don't know. Sometimes I felt like what he wanted most was a continued frozen conflict because it stabilizes him in domestic politics. But when the conflict heated up he changed to strongman tactics. What's next I don't understand well. Does he want to re-freeze, or find some sort of lasting resolution...

Iโ€™m 6โ€™3, size 13 wide.

So are your shoes 4.33 times as long as his, or is that not how those units work?

Also a body height of 1.85m, to make the conversion of units complete

Putting the Palestinians from Gaza in other Arab countries and giving their remaining land to Israel sounds like a recipe for destruction of their national identity.

Forcible resettlements are not listed in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article II, but in my opinion the essential effect would be achieved none the less.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

  1. Killing members of the group;
  2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

I really like the man pages for commands that have examples of some common usage at the bottom, that gets you kickstarted and you can just adapt your own command from the example.

l must be using man pages very differently from you. To me they are mostly the easy reference to check the available flags for a command, and sometimes the reference on available config file entries, e.g. ssh_config(5)

For those things I was using them quite soon when I started using Linux, because it's quicker than googleing every time if you just need one flag or one option name. For more complex things, like tar-and-gzip in one which needs like four, I still google though.

Probably there are very complicated ones too, the ones explaining subsystems or APIs of the kernel, but those I don't need as a user.

In case anyone else wants to look them up, it's spelled with a third "i" instead of "e" Parmigiani Fleurier
