As it turns out, Oxide and Friends was called out by another podcast, Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs, for some of our unvarnished thoughts on C++! We're fans of ADSP, so tomorrow @ahl and I will be joined by Conor Hoekstra, co-host of ADSP. We'll settle the beef between our podcasts -- and we'll hit on some bigger themes on tribalism in tech, the underlying fears that feed it, and what we can all do to moderate it.
Join us, 5p Pacific:

"A student on the same campus, Sam Klein, 20, also described feeling out of place. In the “Instagram activism” of his peers, the posting of Israeli flags and “Stand With Israel” videos, he sees no substantive discussion about the sources of the conflict. In the Israeli press, there is an open debate about the government’s policies toward Palestinians and whether they have led to horrific consequences, but that debate is not happening in the U.S."

"After Hamas’s attack last weekend, a member of the Israeli parliament, Ayman Odeh, among the most prominent leaders of Israel’s Palestinian citizens, declared, “It is absolutely forbidden to accept any attacks on the innocent.”Tragically, this vision of ethical resistance is being repudiated by some pro-Palestinian activists in the United States."

"Histotripsy works by using targeted ultrasound waves to form microbubbles within the tumor. The forces created as those bubbles form and collapse cause the mass to break apart, killing tumor cells and leaving the debris to be cleaned up by the immune system.
What that could mean for patients is treatment without the physical toll of radiation or chemotherapy, fewer concerns with drug compatibility, far shorter recovery times than with surgery and less treatment discomfort.

This is possible because it is much easier to ensure that histotripsy treatments are hitting the tumor, and not healthy tissue, compared to radiation or invasive procedures."h/t @bigzaphod & @lisamelton

"...when Palestinians resist their oppression in ethical ways — by calling for boycotts, sanctions and the application of international law — the United States and its allies work to ensure that those efforts fail, which convinces many Palestinians that ethical resistance doesn’t work, which empowers Hamas."

Zarathustra: How did this thing get its weird name

Clothes come from the Bible, so not being naked is proof of christianity.

- Atheists who argue that we are just animals are almost always wearing clothes. Do animals wear clothes? No. So instead of making a consistent argument that we are only animals, atheists are instead confirming a literal Genesis 3 where we wear clothes due to sin and shame! God gave Adam and Eve cloths after sin. This works with many other things: Why do we have a seven-day week–the Bible. Why does logic and reason exist–the Bible. Why does knowledge exist–the Bible. Why is marriage defined as a man and a woman–the Bible. This list can go on for hours! But in an unbeliever’s worldview, they lack the very foundational basis for such things. (remote)

It's interesting how silent movies use tinting to do basic scene-setting, especially when cutting between nighttime exterior shots (blue) and interiors (candle yellows). And how that goes away once full color becomes more common! No half-measures then, either full color or unaltered silver

Something always has changed either in SDKs, or the IDE, or the build system. I now realize this churn is exactly what's keeping me from finishing the damn thing.
