guykdm··on BDD in Deno with Cucumber
If you're going Deno, I suggest trying the integrated test runner, it's quite good and the experience OOB is nice.
guykdm··on Deno 1.34: Deno compile supports NPM packages
I'm using deno in production and npm compat is, for me, a must.
guykdm··on Supabase Edge Runtime: Self-Hosted Deno Functions
just wondering, what are the main places where deploying on supabase is better than deno-deploy? what's the main integration story with the rest of supabase?
guykdm··on Supabase Edge Runtime: Self-Hosted Deno Functions
Request pre-processing using JavaScript is amazing! Will I be able to deploy an Astro app on supabase edge functions? I'm building a multi-tenant B2B2C product on supabase that's deployed on a customer's sub-domain, so writing reverse proxy logic in js would be a boon.

I understand people not of indian origin can't invest or buy real estate in india?
guykdm··on Israel's Dangerous Shadow War with Iran
Ah, you wouldn't have carried out those "violent" operations? You would have let Syria which later fell into civil war have nukes?
guykdm··on Israel's Dangerous Shadow War with Iran
You are analyzing in a hyper rational manner that does not align with how geo politics and indeed history works.

- While would Iran do something that results in their destruction?

Because it might not lead to their destruction (lots of scenarios for this)

because they are fighting for their lives due to some unrelated circumstances,

because the regime is falling and someone thinks it's the last chance to destroy israel,

because the Mahdai revealed itself to someone and ordered Israel bombed,

because it's what the most religious man who trusts in god would do

--You are comparing them to Hilter who had taken over almost all of Europe, and had motivated the nation to take over those other countries. Nothing of the sort is happening in Iran like that. Iran has historically been defensive in its military spending and investments -- excluding the proxies it has funded.

all the facts here regarding Iran are wrong. Hitler took over europe due to appeasment from a world tired of WW1, that's exactly what Iran will do with the Gulf, Iraq and syria given the chance.

1967 saved us big time. Also we preemptively destroyed Saddam's and Assad's nuclear weapon reactors, someone thinks that was a mistake? a nuclear sadam?

History teaches we shouldn't play with such fire. They absolutely might nuke us. Nobody thought the holocaust was possible before it happened. That is not a sane risk to take.
guykdm··on Israel's Dangerous Shadow War with Iran
It's horrible, but also true. Germany had to be beaten to complete submission, fighting to the last inch until Berlin itself fell. Just recently, ISIS was huge, controlling vast oil reserves. The middle east is problematic to say the least and IRI fanaticism is in the hitler-isis category. The west has built a nice cocoon but this is the world in which we live.
guykdm··on Israel's Dangerous Shadow War with Iran
I would post the same during the appeasement of Hitler, particularly following the anschluss, which obviously was a grave mistake. The "pragmatic" west has a habit of believing others are as peaceful as it is, later waking up to a horrible reality. Same thing will happen with Iran if we don't wake up now.
guykdm··on Israel's Dangerous Shadow War with Iran
You obviously don't know much about them, they would completely agree with the religious war against Israel being a core tenant. If WW2 teaches one thing, is that we shouldn't believe what is soothing, but what we see.
guykdm··on Twitter suspends Israeli MK over call to kill Palestinians
This was said in Hebrew to an Israeli audience, and we quite simply know exactly what he meant. If he called to the killing of Palestinians in general there would be lots of outrage in Israel, such an opinion is not part of the Israeli public discourse. This is part of a known argument in Israel regarding the IDFs existing policy to minimize casualties among Palestinian combatants, which many argue puts the lives of our soldiers at risk. Anyway, Israelis know what he meant. I'm sorry to use my cultural and linguistical familiarity as an argument, but it is what it is.
guykdm··on Twitter suspends Israeli MK over call to kill Palestinians
He used "them" in regards to the killing of armed Palestinians exchanging fire. Now, you can choose to interpret it as calling to kill all Palestinians, but that is very ungracious. Maliciously so I'd say. So in short, this is ridicules and completely biased. Bummer to be an Israeli (and a jew) in that regard, we're treated unfairly.
guykdm··on South Africa's national electricity crisis to worsen
You can only blame the voters if the politicians leave them with a dearth of choice. If a society can't produce a single reasonable leader it's usually no coincidence. Cultural values matter and some societies are inherently more corrupt (e.g. Arab and African societies, as can be seen by the constant stream of corrupt leaders they produce)
guykdm··on Supabase – Realtime: Multiplayer Edition
Hey Kiwi, any chance of getting temporal.io style features for supabase edge functions? would love to have a one-stop-shop solution for all my real and not-real time needs.
guykdm··on What Beirut was like before the war (2019)
"Lebanese" is a modern invention. Lebanon is a contrived post colonial state with no historical foundations. Those most usually fail horribly.
guykdm··on Evolving Reddit’s Workforce
buying a sofa for your living room is very different than letting the sofa seller move in your house.

I live in a country with a land border to Africa, free immigration won't be fun for me, nor is it for the EU.

The new image solution is strictly more powerful than anything currently offered. Since they also control the initial rendering of the HTML, they can seamlessly opt to embed an image via a data url.

guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
Helge, this kind of suggestions may be reasoned from your moral grounds (which I don't share), but in terms of getting towards peace - they are so far from anything Israel would consider they venture into the realm of fantasy and thus will just stir hatred and conflict which clearly mainly harms the Palestinians. To end the conflict what the PA needs now more than fantasies is a dose of reality.
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
There are lots of Israelis living in the west bank, they aren't going anywhere nor is their presence harmful to anyone (nationalist feelings aside). Palastinians would vote to the PA, and they will decide their own taxes and laws, ext (as is the case now). The Israelis will vote to the Knesset. Besides the lack of arms to the PA, this isn't too far from where it is now. This is of course not apartheid, just a reasonable way to live side by side.
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
I don't know how you define sovereignty, as distinct from autonomy. The guideline for me (and I believe this is also the way the conflict will end in real life) is the most autonomy possible, without any security risks to Israel. It's not far from the situation now.
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
They already have autonomy. They might would like it to be better armed, and they are free to accept the deal of the century proposal, but they won't get more.
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
No, democracies don't work well when different groups in the country hate each other. Palestinians have their own autonomy, where they would manage it by their own standards.
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
The Palestinians (which do not act as a nation and never did, their loyalty is to their tribe) have autonomy, and they should be given as much autonomy as possible (without bad security implications).
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
Nothing really. We can go on creating a great country for the Israeli Arabs, Jews, Druze and Christians. This conflict is slowly ending.
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
This land was Jordenian and Jordan doesn't want it. Jordan had it for 29 years and did not establish a Palestinian state. So the legal status lie needs to end. Because I like liberal democracies better than Arab trible dictatorships, I hope Israel would take as many Palestinians as possible. Without turning itself into one.
guykdm··on Israel and UAE reach historic peace deal, Israel to suspend annexation
This land was owned by Jordan, not the Palestinians. It was lost by them in 1967 and they lay no claim to it today. Israel has every right to make this land as prosperous as the rest of the country.

Than it wasn't related to what I said, wasn't it...
