<p>An iranian expat here. I have been following the news closely, mostly getting my data from my friends in Iran before the internet shutdown and after it was (sort of) lifted.<p>The death toll is way above this number, you have to consider the fact that Iran is a big country with many small cities, and in my city alone (which is very small and rarely has any protest going on) many people have died (i don’t have the exact numbers but it could be anywhere between 100 to 200) and when you put this into perspective you will understand that in scale of the entire country a lot of people have died.<p>I have heard that not only they killed people on the street but they have chased those who fled and killded them at their places or hidings, let alone the killing of the injured ones in hospitals.<p>It’s is a big tragedy and people are reluctant to talk about it because those who are committing this massacre are MUSLIMS and support PALESTINE so this is a moral dilemma for the left lovers! because they see Mullah’s regime as one of their biggest allies when it comes to attack West/Israel/Free market<p>It’s a shame that all those activist that would shred themselves for Palestine are absolutely quite about Iran</p>

<p>I totally agree, Microsoft is ruining everything with AI, like all Microsoft product have been on decline for years even before the LLM era, and now they are on an even steeper decline.<p>it makes me sad to see that github is now going through the same shit, and people are using other random half-ass alternatives, it’s not easy to keep track of your favourite open-source projects across many source forgeries. we need someone to buy github from Microsoft and remove all the crap they have added to it.</p>

<p>You’re Iranian and call me a traitor for wanting the regime gone? That’s nonsense. I know the Iran-Iraq War—my family suffered through it. The regime used that war to crush our people and grab more power. Don’t lecture me on history while ignoring 45 years of the mullahs’ crimes: killing protesters, jailing women, executing LGBTQ people. You’re okay with that?<p>You say Israel and the U.S. attacked “our land.” Wrong. They hit the regime’s military and leaders, not our culture or people. You bring up Libya, Syria, Iraq—sure, those were messes. But the mullahs are already destroying Iran: no freedom, no jobs, no hope. You want me to stay quiet while they ruin us? No way. I’m not cheering for Israel or the U.S.—I’m cheering for the end of the mullahs. If strikes weaken them, good.<p>You talk about pride in Cyrus, Darius, and Reza Shah. Where’s your pride in fighting a regime that shames our 3,000-year history? They’ve made Iran a prison, not a great nation. You say negotiations were happening? The regime’s negotiators and scientists were killed—how’s that for wanting peace?<p>You call me naive, but you’re the one ignoring the truth. The regime’s enemies aren’t attacking our soul—they’re hitting the mullahs. I’m not siding with Israel or the U.S.; I’m siding with Iranians who want freedom. If you think defending the regime saves our honor, you’ve lost yours.</p>

<p>You think I’m not Iranian because I used GPT? That’s just stupid. My English isn’t perfect—I’m Iranian, and like many of us, I use tools like GPT to help write clearly. Doubting my nationality over that is brain-dead logic. It’s 2025, and using GPT is normal for non-native speakers. Your weak attempt to shame me shows you’ve got no real point.<p>As for your claim about Israel “invading minds and culture,” that’s just wild conspiracy nonsense. Israel’s strikes hit the regime’s military, not our culture. You’re dodging the real issue: the mullahs’ 45 years of killing, oppressing, and ruining lives. Where’s your outrage for that? Instead, you’re twisting things to sound clever. Try focusing on the actual problem—the regime—before throwing shade at me for hoping they fall.</p>

<p>As Iranians, we are exhausted and frustrated with the Islamic regime in Iran, which has proven to be more destructive than any weapon. Despite numerous attempts to peacefully change the regime, each effort has been met with brutal violence, mass killings of civilians, and imprisonment of anyone who dares to oppose them. Over time, we’ve realized that protests alone cannot overthrow this regime; it requires a force stronger than them to bring about change. Now, after 45 years, Israel’s strikes on the regime’s key figures and military installations have given us a glimmer of hope. When my non-Iranian friends ask how I feel, I tell them I’m overjoyed—this is something we’ve dreamed of for decades. War is not ideal, but in a far-from-perfect world, it can sometimes prevent greater harm. This conflict is doing just that by challenging a regime that promotes a toxic ideology, one that disregards human life and thrives on death and destruction to achieve its goals.
While many Iranians feel hopeful that this could pave the way for real change, it’s disheartening to see left-leaning activists worldwide aligning with apologists for the mullahs’ regime, chanting “Stop the war.” This is deeply troubling. Where were they during the past 45 years when the regime slaughtered thousands, forced countless people into exile, oppressed women and minorities, executed LGBTQ individuals, and held Western travelers hostage to extort foreign governments?
To those who believe they’re doing good by opposing this war, you are, at best, a useful idiot supporting the mullahs’ regime. You cannot fathom the consequences if this conflict ends without decisively weakening them—Iran’s people would face an even darker era.
I’m not here to glorify Netanyahu or Trump, but their actions have achieved something we’ve long hoped for. My hope is that this leads to the complete dismantling of the regime and its proxies.</p>

<p>i put together something in godbolt and here is the result:<p><a href="https://godbolt.org/z/sbzPT33nq" rel="nofollow">https://godbolt.org/z/sbzPT33nq</a><p>“quake” version uses “lea" to pre-increment pointers before storing values.
“normal” version uses “add" after storing values.<p>The “lea" instruction is often faster because it performs an addition in a single cycle without modifying flags, whereas “add" may introduce a dependency.<p>“quake” version might have a slight edge due to better pipeline efficiency.<p>“lea" is often preferred over “add" in performance-critical code because it is a single-cycle instruction on modern x86 CPUs.</p>

<p>i really like firefox to shine. but it’s very ugly and turns me off every time i use it. it's been around forever but the UI has never looked good, I’d argue that in recent years it’s gotten even uglier.<p>recently i’ve been using duck duck go browser on macos, it’s literally my main browser for the past 6 months and I’m very happy with it’s simple and beautiful UI.<p>i mentioned duck duck go browser because of multiple reason, first of all, there are many of us who are willing to ditch chrome, and a lot of us can live without all the goodies that come with chrome, a lot of us can live with a browser that is a bit slower than chrome, but i’m sure there are also a lot of us who cannot force themselves to deal with an ugly browser.</p>

<p>There are different factors to consider when investing in a crypto project such as market cap, price volatility, etc. Many sources already provide this information, but what if you want to know about a project’s development activity and the people behind it? Your only option is to dig into Github, but Github is not optimized for this job. That is why we started <a href="https://coincode.live" rel="nofollow">https://coincode.live</a>.<p>Coincide Live is a perfect tool for non-technical investors to quickly gain insight into the development and technical information of crypto projects. We are launching the Alpha version of the product that provides the following information:<p>- project observability (how transparent a project is)<p>- development activity rate over the different periods (last 
week, last month,...)<p>- project details<p>- top contributors<p>- open and closed issues on Github<p>- …<p>We are currently monitoring over 1000 crypto projects from Github and Gitlab and are planning to expand this number to cover almost all known crypto projects.<p>Our 3-6 month goals are:<p>- Finding correlations between a crypto project development activity and its price history to<p>- facilitate future price prediction (currently work in progress)<p>- RESTFul/GraphQL API for developers<p>- Allow crypto project owners to create their own profiles and list their coins on our website<p>- Allow crypto project owners to only promote repositories and branches they want to and not 
   everything<p>- Allow project contributors/developers to create their own profiles on our website.<p>- Connecting blockchain developers with proven experience to the blockchain recruitment network<p>Your feedback will be most welcome, you can reach out to us at the following links:<p>Twitter: twitter
