I am enjoying "trigbagging"/"trigpointing" in Israel (look it up!). I also built an app for this hobby (currently in open beta)

Exactly. You missed the point.

How unimportant was Bin Laden?

Re:Googleworkspace/CLI on Thursday March 05, 2026 @08:25AM (#47261325)
What a shame Google Photos have no decent API or CLI. Photos could have been the best SAAS but changes in the API make it terribely unusable.

I wish I could use an API/CLI to query/geoquery my photos.

Hopefully any leader that consistently sticks with "Death to America"+"Death to Israel" will find himself dead.

The world needs leaders that belive in Peace and freedom. The world and Iran are much much better without dictators like Khomenei. Especially for an "average Iranian".

I really dislike Trump. He is not my type at all. I dislike religion and consider myself a liberal - but: Trump said "help is on its way" on Jan 13, and today Khamenei is dead. He kept his words. Free Iran!
Hopefully Khamenei is dead. Sticking with "Death to Israel" was not a good plan for him. I hope the regime goes down ASAP.
Trump will be out of office in a couple of years, and hopefully Netanyahu as well. That's how democracy works. Israel has 20% muslim citizens, with muslim parties and parliament members, cities and vibrant Arab communities. They can work with liberal Jewish Israelis and kick out Netanyahu if they are smart. Much better then war and blood.
No it's not.
Anyway, sticking to the "Death to America" strategy and choosing to run a global proxy war and killing their own people, instead of choosing peace, have led to this moment.

Lets pray for the people of Iran we get rid of the regime this time, and eventually reach peace in the middle east.

Leta hope the good side wins.
No, it's because of the country is run by fanatics.
I believe this is related for Iran's decades old calls for "Death to America"/"Death to Israel".

Re:Datastar: Web Framework for the Future? on Saturday April 12, 2025 @03:55AM (#43662328)
From datastar's docs:

> Backend Setup

> Data star uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) to stream zero or more events from the web server to the browser. There’s no special backend plumbing required to use SSE, just some syntax. Fortunately, SSE is straightforward and provides us with some advantages.

As a django developer, this is very far from true. With htmx i get almost no backend changes (mainly in template code), where datastar would require me to rewrite it and may not be possible to implement at all.

Very cool! One can write a pytest plugin that executes notebooks from a folder with custom pytest fixtures support.

+ Google Reader (RIP 2013)

+ Google Music (RIP 2020)

I did. Usually I am not clicking the pinterest/quora links and I am left with nothing.
I feel like pinterest is being a "placeholder"/"fallback"/"default" of the web. Each time I encounter quora or pinterest search results I am getting the feeling I was looking for something that does not have good online answer/content.
Re:Bootstrap 5 Beta 1 on Monday December 07, 2020 @01:14PM (#25335080)
Builtin RTL (Right-to-Left) support is great. I have used Bootstrap with different RTL flipping methods. however - recently I have switched to postcss-rtl ( https://github.com/vkalinichev/postcss-rtl ) which I find much better than other flipping solutions.
Re:DevTerm - An Open Source Portable Terminal for Every Dev on Monday November 23, 2020 @11:47AM (#25188656)
Having a bluetooth thermal printer in my bag seems more handy than having it attached to the device all the time. Should be very cheap.

Wouldn't a cheap tablet be much more productive and cost effective?

I was so happy to see someone mentioned improv before me :-)
