That is the first time I've seen South Africa listed separately from Africa

Great article.
Israeli liberals and Western diplomats tend to believe there are two paths forward: a binational, single state, or the two-state solution.
I fucking wish Israeli liberals would be in for a binational state. This is an extremely fringe opinion among Jews. The secular liberals generally prefer a two-state solution or just keeping the status quo (and just "managing it better"™️).

That was quite light in substance. Since it's titled a "success story" I was hoping to find a deeper dive into challenges they faced - especially with Alpine, which isn't that trivial to use at scale, not even mentioning with Junior developers.
This article seems like writing for the sake of writing, or rather padding the blog page on your personal site

Damn that would be so cool

Damn that's cool, then maybe I should take a second look at Wordpress

Yeah actually writing Wordpress themes was easier than I thought. But I wrote them for the old editor, not Gutenberg – I opted for ClassicPress instead which was quite a banger in the effort-to-outcome equation

Hey sup:) Idk if it's Cloudflare or something, but the problem is I have an RSS reader hosted on my Hetzner server in Germany, and requests originating from its IP are blocked. Well not exactly blocked, but they return HTML titled "Just a second..." rather than just RSS. For example: `GET https://programming.dev/feeds/c/python.xml?sort=Active` ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-US"> <head> <title>Just a moment...</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"> <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> ... ``` Obviously I totally understand if you wouldn't want to do that – I'm sure it's there for a reason, I was just hoping that this single endpoint could be an exception =] Thanks!

I feel like Python is coming to its senses in the recent years, with releases focusing on typing constructs and the match statement. I think they're on the path to be a great statically typed language, don't you think?
Twitter user @DanyX23: TIL: pyright, the python type checking engine that is used by VS Code, has support for exhaustiveness checking for match statements with union types! If you add the following to your pyproject.toml, you'll get the attached warning [tool.pyright] reportMatchNotExhaustive = true

How did you manage to convince friends and (especially) family to actually use Matrix? Quite impressive!
I don't entirely subscribe to the first paragraph – I've never worked at a place so dear to me that spurred me to spend time thinking about its architecture (beyond the usual rants). Other than that, spot on

Yeah idk what went into her in this video. It only seems to be half a joke, which is terrible. The rest of her content is amazing so I'm quite confused
I can't seem to find any trace of comparison between these specific libraries. I'm planning on using Python for them. I just don't wanna write YAML. Pulumi seems more prone to the ["single vendor is the new proprietary"](https://opensource.net/why-single-vendor-is-the-new-proprietary) theory, because they're an actual business and shit, so might do a bait and switch here Terraform-style. But that's the only difference I can spot besides obvious API differences. Does anyone have an opinion?:)
Thanks for putting it up btw I love it

Your stance is great. I'm very glad you're taking the liberty to remove posts, moderated spaces who are strict about what kinda content is allowed are just more pleasant. Hackernews, lobste.rs and me_irl come to mind. Unsure why the poster in the picture reacted so dramatically lol

Incredibly common, but I don't really have an indication as to whether it's an extreme amount or not, because I've lived here my entire life and haven't been abroad too much, so I'll try describing it their presence in public:
- Soldiers are one of the primary users of public transport, because they're teens and they barely have shuttle buses
- Some administrative/technological roles in the military might not provide you with lodging, so it looks like a 9-5. Sometimes you'll end your day and go fuck around in the city while in uniform; I did that frequently
- Infantry soldiers have a choice when going back home for the weekend: either wait hours for the privilege to deposit their weapon in a safe, or just take it with them home and carry it around

Why is this downvoted? This is likely the slickest post I've seen on the platform. Didn't cause any physical reaction but it's sweet non the less.

Can someone take a picture of what the last year's emoji look like? XD
It's gotten too much. I think 1100 is a bit too much custom ELisp code. I also got to a point where my customization started interfering with Doom's core modules, yielded weird errors from time to time. I found out that Doom's defaults are actually beautiful and idk guys I feel refreshed, I'm ready now to _get shit done_, I can now _actually work™️_. I have offloaded the annoyances to Henrik. 2024 year of bankruptcy let's go

Love it! I did feel uncomfortable with 2010s-Facebook-style excessive public sharing. Most of my friends, with me included, abuse the close friends Instagram feature and I'm all for it. I know a couple of people who deleted their old Facebook accounts because digital footprint was too frightening – particularly, the shit they posted during their teens in private Facebook groups that they have long left.
All of this is obviously not related whatsoever to data harvesting; this fight is against individual stalkers rather than corporate ones. But it's a blessed one non the less; stalking shouldn't really be a thing.

Another thing that got lost in the translation is "fought on a cliff" – while he really said Tzuk Eitan, which is the 2014 Gaza war

Technological advancements have the unfortunately intended side effect of corporations having less people they gotta pay to, because machines are quite the competitor sometimes. While I think OP is being a bit pedantic here, efficiency in and of itself is not inherently good – the question should be who's extracting the profit. If the increased efficiency translates into less working hours... hell yeah. If it translates into record megacorp profits, then... I see no need in eliminating these unnecessary jobs for now – the worker gets their bread and that's what I care about
Yeah like a smiling computer or smth. Would be cool eh?
Tryna get back to RSS. I currently love reading tonsky.me but that's about it, and it's not uhhh devopsy. So I'm all ears for anything interesting that you all like!
