Israel doesn't restrict citizenship to only Jews,

But its laws extend greatly preferential treatment to (certain kinds of) Jews, of course.

"Jews" (or those deemed as such by certain disputed criteria) may naturalize, but with onerous requirements: demonstrating proficiency in Hebrew being one of them (that "other" indigenous language, Arabic, or other common languages of pre-1947 inhabitants such as Armenian just won't cut it). Also, if you're a citizen and you marry a non-national, citizenship is automatically granted -- unless that person that person has the misfortune of being an inhabitant of the West Bank or Gaza (which includes many descendants of people expelled from what is now Israel in 1947-1949 and afterwards of course).

Israel probably more heterogeneous than Palestine.

Given the 517k or so non-indigenous squatters (nearly all of them fit in this category, anyway) in Area C, and the 240k or so non-Arab residents of illegally occupied (that is to say, "still Palestine" per international law) East Jerusalem -- this is a highly untenable statement to make.

I don't see how [the Right of Return] isn't the will to create an ethnostate, it's a mirror image of Zionism.

In human terms, one could also look it as an attempt to restore basic dignity and liberty to these folks, more or less on par to what is provided to prospective citizens of Jewish ancestry via the Law of Return.

I am consulting as an architect for web development teams. Bridging the gap between product requirements and concrete implementation details.

If your team is having problems completing work on schedule, or you’re not satisfied with development velocity, and feel the need to hire more programmers to help finish the work on time, please reconsider.

It’s highly likely that what you need is not another programmer. Instead, what you need is someone to fill the gap between product requirements and specific implementation details.

If you could give your team a technical document describing how to implement a feature, it will help them do the work in a shorter amount of time to a higher quality standard.

This is what I hope I can deliver for you and your team.

Not that I've found and it would make sense there isn't really. Kubernetes with all it's warts is clear Nomad equivalent and insert random Kubernetes service mesh here.

I know neither of them are as nicely opinioned at those two services but there is starting to be plenty of more opinioned Kubernetes deployments.
Drives have warranties, after which the manufacturer doesn't make any claims about it's durability. This could put your fleet at wild and significant risk if things start hitting a wall and failing en masse. You may not be able to repair away if as you're repairing the data you're copying to yet another dying drive.

So you have usually a lifetime of drive tput and start/stop values you want to stay under, and depending on how accurate your data is for each drive you may push beyond the drive warranties. But you will generally stop before the drive actually fails.
For products it would be good to include a date so people can obtain the quality items second-hand.

That is the general idea. Past the 4 year mark with zero infections here (and that's with testing whenever I have the slightest case of the sniffles).

Admittedly the odds are stacked in my favor a bit - I'm a pretty extreme introvert in a quiet small town and have been WFH since 2012. I will never accept another position that isn't 100% remote, and avoiding getting sick is part of that for sure.
My ex killed herself not long after telling me she wasn't suicidal. This may surprise you, but suicidal people often lie about being suicidal. Or, they rapidly go from not being suicidal to being so. Or, due to mental illness, they've lost a grip on reality.
Whilst the British Library is spending a lot more money rebuilding, and expected to take a year or more to be fully operational again, there are some upsides to this. Their IT infrastructure used outdated and insecure practices, which enabled the attack in the first place, and the rebuilding forces them to modernise it. It also sidesteps the possibility of the ransomware group retaining a foothold in their systems, unbeknownst to the BL (though I will add that ransomware groups are, perhaps surprisingly, usually pretty honest once you pay them).
So standard right wing conspiracy theories. Odd indeed.
I was confused by the name, because I remember 'Uno' as part of OpenOffice.

I presumed that this was OpenOffice internals that support cross-platform UI and OpenOffice scripting.

But apparently, the 'Uno' internals in OpenOffice are just the internal object message bus and don't have anything that is visible to the user.

I will read it some time.

I still do not know what makes a theory “better” if it will never be provably correct, is most likely drastically wrong, and comparatively brings us little value. A theory that would instead focus on ourselves, whatever that might look like, seems like potentially a much “better” option, but because the path is poorly trodden the scientific community would defend its own dignity by laughing at those who venture there. Anyway, I’m not awake enough to argue well at this point.

> Google can't meaningfully improve their search without killing their profits and growth numbers.

This is a really good point and might mark a dead end for google. Most of their money is made when people click off of search and land on an advertiser's landing page. Almost everybody in our circle here on HN is unsatisfied with most of those pages they land on because those pages are designed to win clicks, not inform people.

If it turns out that people want answers more than they want search results then google is arguably stuck between a rock and a hard place.[1]

Content creators are in for a hard time too though. Already in Kagi I can ask a question and get a really good answer based on five or six sources without having to view any of those sources. If that's the future then those sources are going to be missing out on a ton of search traffic. Maybe it'll wipe SERPs off the face of the earth, but it doesn't bode well for search traffic for real content operations.

[1] Maybe we should prepare ourselves for "sponsored answers" -- LLM-generated word salad that still somehow tries to sell you a product.

Yeah, but your private copy would be more like "The internet: The Good Parts" (assuming you had a way to not store what you immediately dismissed as garbage; maybe only include pages with a dwell time of 15-30s or more.) That's enormously valuable (and why I've implemented it before - but in conkeror, which didn't survive the death of xulrunner - so now I use pinboard and text files and logseq, which are pretty good but a lot more work.)

I don't think that WHO list is particularly useful. Included in the numbers of "people without access to safe drinking water" is everyone who draws from a well or a spring. The US is huge and well water is extremely common in rural areas; most well-water users have their own in-house water treatment equipment. Nevertheless they'd be classified as not having access to an improved water source under this survey.

But I haven't identified anyone. I've said disinformation is widespread and has certain characteristics. Somehow you take from that I'm just taring people I'm disagreeing with.

One possibility is that maybe they don't care about their Github account that much.

I stopped using Twitch when they started forcing 2FA. I didn't really care about my account. I only created it so that I would have a list of the streamers I follow on the left side. But logging in with 2FA was too much work just to be able to see the list, so I stopped using Twitch altogether.

Another use case is to disable Github 2FA so that I can enable 2FA on my email account:

I store my (encrypted) KeePassXC database on Github, but on a new computer I need to log into my email to be able to 2FA into Github, so I have to disable email 2FA because I store the TOTP codes on the KeePassXC database.

If Github didn't have 2FA, I would just login with my password, download the KeePassXC db, decrypt it, and be able to generate TOTP codes for my email.
TLDR by Riley Testut, creator of Delta and AltStore:

"This is great news!! Completely free apps no longer pay the CTF, and developers making less than €10M/yr (basically all indie devs) now have a 3 year buffer before CTF bills kick in — giving them time to adjust if any apps do end up getting >1M downloads

"This is a great step forward, and most importantly means indies can try out alternative marketplaces like AltStore without fear of immediately bankrupting themselves" (https://www.threads.net/@rileytestut/post/C6eblZju5aA)

A bit off topic: I just wrote a bunch of lua C debug api code (lua_sethook) to pre-emptively run and context-switch multiple lua "coroutines" (well not so "co").

Is this library offering a lua implementation more well-designed for this use-case? I got all this code to unload the coroutine stack to store and and reload it before continuing it later. Does having C bindings to this library makes sense?
Meoaw sure about that.
I strongly disagree with this article. Perhaps in the days before Miri it might have made sense, but it's pretty trivial right now to discover UB in unsafe code with a simple `cargo +nightly miri test` run.

It feels like the Rust team is a bit wary of introducing other optimizations for fear of breaking unsafe code that has lurking UB, but it's better to start working on fixing these problems _now_ rather than get stuck in the present state of limbo. It's only going to get harder to fix incorrect code (which we see an example of in this particular post).

Honestly Miri is a superpower and it needs to be the priority of the Rust team to stabilize it. There's nothing inherently wrong with unsafe code: it's unsound code that's the problem, and we have the tools to prevent this exact problem from the article.
