For me personally, the answer to the original question would be "only once no other non-violent means are available".
Does this resonate, or would you consider it different to your perspective? I see them as similar.
Surely protecting is by definition preemptive since it means you are not allowing the violence against yourself or someone else to occur? Not saying your first point is wrong just doesn't seem consistent to me.
Only revenge/retribution would not be preemptive which imo is not better.
Hey, the anime isn't going anywhere. You can still enjoy it whenever you like. Just accept this isn't for you, and be happy for the people it is for instead of gatekeeping.
Absolutely not. Citizens can be just as much a victim of terrorist states as those they affect beyond their borders, and are just as deserving of humanitarian aid as any other civilian in an active warzone.
Not a fan of the framing here, 'were' vs 'would be' as if the later is just a hypothetical rather than the reality of civilians in Gaza.
Highly recommend the podcast 'It's probably not aliens' if you want to find out more about the real history of the claims made in these kind of shows, and how the claims of aliens are often rooted in racism and colonialism
Sounds all too similar to Brexit unfortunately, once again showing why we elect representatives to understand complex issues, rather than offering it up to the public where snappy slogans and misdirected anger trump any kind of nuanced take.
My first ever lecture of my CS degree I was told 'Computer Science is the science of Abstraction' and it always resonated with me.
Personally I believe you should always have at least some understanding of one abstraction lower than where you operate, in order to write the most effective code. That doesn't mean you need to be fluent in ASM to write C, but knowing what the general structures are, and roughly how the compiler works will benefit you.
The same knowledge is not at all useful to a Python or Javascript dev, since there are just too many layers between. Instead it is sufficient to try to understand the libraries, frameworks and interpreters that they build abstractions on top of. Without this knowledge there will be cases where your code is sub optimal.
Any particular goals with Ada? Had an academic curiosity for a few years but never used it in earnest.
