True... but where were the terrorists? Where was the evidence? Apart from the ludicrous 3D animation that was created before Israel destroyed the first hospital, I haven't seen so much as a shred of credible evidence. Oh, apart from the Arabic calendar that was totally a list of hostages.

Nobody seriously believes that every single hospital in Gaza was a hotbed of terrorist activity, especially without evidence. What we have seen, is the IDF illegally setup bases of operation in Gazan hospitals though!
Adaptive Request Concurrency in Vector
recently delved into Vector's Adaptive Request Concurrency (ARC) mechanism, which dynamically adjusts request rates based on real-time system metrics. This approach, inspired by TCP congestion control algorithms, optimizes throughput and maintains system stability without relying on static rate limits. Also found another video talking about this method - SREcon23 Americas - Adaptive Concurrency Control for Mixed Analytical Workloads https://youtu.be/-UDeh-kBRbc
> the population of Gaza would not grow over time

That has nothing to do with anything. If I steal from you, I steal from you, doesn't matter if you get more than I stole from elsewhere. By that logic, not even the Shoa would be a genocide. So how can people say this, and not even once, but over and over? It just means you're not even treating the charge seriously.

> The Israelis don't want to remove Palestinians from the face of the earth

It's nothing to do with "the Israelis". It's about the specific people and organizations espousing genocidal rhetoric and engaging in respective actions, such as starving off civilians. Whoever is guilty of that doesn't get to invoke all other Israelis as a blanket. Specific people are guilty of specific things. All Israelis want safety, but not all Israelis dance and sing "there are no schools in Gaza, because there are no kids in Gaza".

More importantly, wanting to wipe someone "off the face off the Earth" is not required to meet the standard of genocide, not even close. It might be required for the whole "Amalek" thing, but not for genocide.

Just take this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_genocide

> 8,372 killed (Srebrenica)

> 25,609–33,071 Bosniaks and Croats killed (wider definition of genocide)

Not only are those "low" numbers compared to the survivors, not even in their wildest dreams would anyone ever claim the goal was to "wipe Croats off the face of the Earth".

Those who want to annex Palestine don't care if it's via ethnic cleansing or genocide, and made that clear in word and deed. There's no getting away from that.

They don't have a right to own land in 90% of the country. You literally have to be Jewish to buy land. Also Jewish people started burning down buildings full of Arabs during the war. They can get evicted from their houses. They are discriminated against. And I don't think you're a full citizen if you can't even buy and keep property.
I don't understand why you're drawing attention to their failure, it doesn't mean anything. Failure by anyone on the first time of anything is understandable.

Just Use Postgres the Book
I’ve always thought that "Just Use Postgres" would make an excellent title and topic for a book. And we’ve partnered with Manning to bring it to life.

Looking forward to your feedback on the TOC and chapters that have already been released. The book is current in the Manning Early Access Program (MEAP), which lets read it while I continue to write the chapters.
I think our organisation needs to increase headcount.
This is a silly argument that is often made.

Everyone knows alcohol is a toxin. It is regulated. You have to be of certain age to buy it. It isn't normally in things you consume daily as a secondary ingredient in doses that would be harmful. You can taste it if it is. If you cannot taste it, you can recognize the effects from drinking it.

The dose makes the poison with any substance, that is a base tenant of toxicology. Not many people are unintentionally poisoning themselves with water.

Food and drug regulations save lives. If you want to argue against them, please at least do so in a manner that doesn't rely on absurdist examples.

This is easy for the phone calls if the politicians cared: Every provider knows who the previous hop was for a call. You report every abuse and your previous hop has two options. 1. They're covered by local law and can point at their previous hop or direct customer. 2. They're abroad and it's their responsibility to deal with their previous hop.

Nobody wants to get disconnected from being and to call the US. This would solve the spam/scam calls issue pretty much immediately.

For the internet it would be harder to enforce.
I assume the "Perplexity" refers to the LLM that generated the list? As far as I can tell, none of the listed books are hallucinated though.

> reasonable counterarguments to all those accusations. To cover them all would result in a massive wall of text ... intractable security problems ... extremism in the wider region ... justifications for Israel's existence ... 'never again'

Goebbels also laid down "reasonable" arguments in "a wall of text" on intractable security problems, extremism among the diaspora, justifiable 'Reich must not fall again' rhetoric when it came to German Jews. He was indeed "just wrong". If 'never again' is our ethos, we mustn't be like Goebbels.

The [Palestinians] are responsible for the war. The treatment they receive from us is hardly unjust. They have deserved it all.

It is the job of the government to deal with them. No one has the right to act on his own, but each has the duty to support the state's measures against the [Palestinians], to defend them with others, and to avoid being misled by any [Palestinian] tricks.

The security of the state requires that of us.

> contrast Israel's behavior between Gazan vs Israeli arabs

Settler Colonialism 101. Nothing dramatic about it at all, as many have who spilled ink on the topic have taken pains to point out, like here: https://archive.is/UAs9G

Members of the same community were separated by chance into three different groups. All suffered occupation and oppression by Israeli governments. All had lands and property stolen, and all were denied collective national rights. But only those inside the Green Line were given citizenship (without anyone asking their opinion). East Jerusalem residents had permanent residency imposed on them (with a theoretical possibility of becoming citizens). And Palestinians in the territories got Dayan's “different relationship.”

After 56 years, the results of this experiment are clear. It’s the citizenship, stupid! Arabs in Israel, despite the discrimination and for all their reservations, have by and large integrated into Israeli society. Every day, we entrust our lives to Arab doctors, nurses, bus drivers, lawyers and mechanics.

I would say that the vast majority the quote-unquote "normal" homeschool parents I know are broke hippies/homesteaders/vanlife/wooden-sailboat types.

No really. The Shorts and Reels algorithms are so one dimensional. They both interpreted me disliking smug milquetoast rants about Republicans and Democrats as not wanting politics in my feed at all. I do want the politics, but I don't need it hammered into my head that Republicans are dumb as bricks. I don't need to see the performative Tom Cotton and Jasmine Crockett clips that have already been shown 100 times.

TikTok's algo, OTOH, somehow understands that interests are multi-dimensional and that maybe I just want a different kind of politics or discussions that go deeper than cheap shots. I never in my life thought I'd encounter an anti-Marxist right-libertarian who actually read and is familiar with all three volumes of Capital, but TikTok figured out that I'd find it interesting.

I actually made the opposite experience. Books nowadays have so many different format and colors, it’s really hard to make it esthetically pleasing, I have multiple walls full of books and they look like a mess, I dislike it.

Even if I could make it look nice, it would then be an intellectual mess, it wouldn’t be organised properly, I would struggle to find anything.

Literally. When you get down to it people just hate Arabs and want to collectively punish them. It's fucking weird and racist. Palestinians do not get to suffer for Arabs from other countries who pushed out the ancient Israelis or Arabs from countries that expelled Mizrahi Jews (lets not even get into how much that was provoked by the Zionist project). They are not collectively responsible.

The problem in this space is that a quarter of century(!) after Fielding's dissertation [1] we don't have a serious follow up on "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures". A blueprint of a class of well constrained designs that can optimized and adapted according to use case.

The missing abstraction gap goes beyond Django (on the server side), and beyond Javascript on the client side. With the hardware and network capabilities of today it should be much easier to create wonderful networked software and mind blowing experiences but the appification of the Web is denying its very essence. The Web has become in essence a conduit for delivering proprietary apps.

What would a worthy follow up look like? It needs to take into account the mobile revolution that happened in the meantime, which sort of requires taking into account clients of very diverse capabilities. It needs to take into account WASM, GPU etc.

My company is doing some similar crap. Half a year wasted on some bullshit AI thing that half the engineers were questioning from the start. Usage numbers are in the low 10%-20% range and are dropping despite massive push from marketing and onboarding teams.

The solution is to of course push even more AI stuff. The actual quote one of the C-level used was "Users don't understand the power of AI yet!" and I could barely hold in my laugh when I heard it.

I've been feeling like the world has lost their fucking minds with the AI push. I know that VC/investors play a big role in it, but I've never seen anything quite like it. The AI toothbrush [1] really took the cake for me for peak of absurdity, I wonder what these geniuses will come up with next...

Hi everyone!

I'd like to share that we've just released Centrifugo v6 - a major update of scalable WebSocket server. The release addresses some usability pain points and adds nice features and more observability.

Centrifugo is an open-source standalone server written in Go – https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifugo. Centrifugo can instantly deliver messages to application online users connected over supported transports (WebSocket, HTTP-streaming, Server-Sent Events (EventSource), GRPC, WebTransport). Centrifugo has the concept of a channel – so it's a user-facing PUB/SUB server. Everything implemented in a language-agnostic way – so Centrifugo can be used in combination with any frontend or backend stack.

These days we also provide Centrifugo PRO version – and trying to find a balance to be sustainable.

The server is based on the open-source Centrifuge library - https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge, so many improvements mentioned in Centrifugo v6 release blog post (even those for Centrifugo PRO) may be used just as a library in Go application.

We provide real-time SDKs for popular client environments – for browser and mobile development – they connect to both Centrifuge library based servers and Centrifugo server.

Generally Centrifugal ecosystem provides a good alternative to Socket.IO and cloud services like Pusher.com and Ably.com

Will be happy to answer on any questions

> The land claims of the territory both come from the Torah, in the end. Its just that the Jews and Muslims disagree on who God was referring to.

What? Palestinians don't claim the land based on a promise by God. They claim it because they hold the legal documents going back for centuries. Even those expelled in 1948, still have the fucking keys covered with their grandparents blood after the Nakba ethnic cleansing.

You know what? let's forget about legal documents, about who is native to the land by DNA, since it's you know "complicated", right?

1. Zionists today (not a story in the past) continue to put outposts in Palestinians farms to snatch more and more land.

2. Israeli troops and settlers killed 171 Palestinian children in the west bank (an area smaller than Delaware) in 2024 alone [1].

3. They continue building illegal settlements on Palestinians land that's illegal even by US admission.

4. Israel is taking advantage of the power vacuum in Syria and advancing deeper inside Syria borders while taking more and more cities. It's literally provoking and asking for another war where they will claim they were victims.

5. The blood of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza is still fresh [2] and more crimes in the past with no one held accountable, soldiers are literally posing and filming their war crimes with no accountability. Many humanitarian orgs believe the number of those killed is actually undercounted as many are still undocumented.

They celebrates killing babies (who they claim will be terrorists of course) so soldiers are praised and incentivized to annex entire blood line like savages.

Here's a challenge for you: Emit labels like "Palestinians" and "Israelis" and ask someone with no prejudice, hearing it for the first time, "who is in the wrong?" If you are honest and not manipulative you'll get your answer.

But nah let's stick to the theory that the entire world is against us and respond to any other theory that it's "complicated" while continue committing war crimes openly admitted by our soldiers ever since Israel was established.[3]

Do you agree that everyone who was involved in war crimes to be held responsible, no matter what ethnicity, religion, or passport they hold? That is the core of the problem, Israeli have done more terrible things than the side they claim as terrorists.
