Most countries restarted funding when Israel did not produce any evidence of UNRWA malfeasance to back up their allegation. The arabs within Israel do not have equal status to Israeli nationals, and less than any Jew who claims lineage but

I built this sort of notebook before, the issue I have with notebooks though is version control, debugging, testing, and general integration eg. with deployment processes. In a large org, if you're missing any of them it's a shows

Having to configure a new machine has put me off upgrading stuff. If I have to spend time doing that, it takes away from more important things. Obviously for major QOL improvements eg. Eye-level laptop screen, it's worth changing, but

I think this is the crux of the problem, case law exists to help 'refine' and 'classify' a case ie. a crutch for an incomplete specification (the actual law). The 'workflow' is that the judgement on the current

Agree, and this could be related to the libs you import (adding abilities), or the traits you specify (restricting).

You could ask the same questions about that yes, but whataboutism does not answer the questions here. For Ethiopia it's flagged as humanitarian aid, and likely for Jordan as a result of the neighbouring Syria war. None of that is arms

The question here is why is only Israel covered in this act? Also anti-BDS legislation in finance, regardless of ethical etc. concerns? The US gives $4bn/year to Israel gratis, and so far $20bn in weapons over the course of this confli

Somewhat yes, but compilers can inject vulnerabilities, and you also require composable code to avoid composition vulnerability.

As far as I can see, the article is somewhat about whether we can trust open source software, given political tensions, language barriers, and malicious actors. To that, the article suggests a central authority with global membership to cre

I guess you could look at this as a restatement of the 'Reflections on trusting trust' paper ( https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_Ref... ), in that the whole software chain needs

Well you can't compensate a dead person, but you can compensate a living person. There is the cut-off from historical perspective. In this spirit, a single state allowing right of return and equal (voting) rights is a workable solution

I'd guess yes, and you get the SQL goodness to boot :) Sounds like you have an encoding issue somewhere, windows has it's own charset - Windows-1252, so I'd vet all your libs that touch the file (including eg. .Net libs etc).

I think it depends what passport etc. you hold... One dystopian take is the trolley problem, where the self-driving car in question uses smartphones to determine the identity of the people involved, to work out who is cheaper to kill.

Lots of forths can quote, which is kind of what you are asking here - https://retroforth.org/Handbook-Latest.txt Retro uses operators on the quote. Similarly, Freeforth (anonymous definitions) and Able Forth (same) can do t

This looks the same as in Vale? I like this technique, and Vale tries to go further with index elision to remove the memory and checking overhead. https://verdagon.dev/grimoire/grimoire

That's the way I tend to read it. The fun bit then is applying context at eval time. Rebol allows you to use a block as a list/function/thunk, which is lazily evaluated. This changes the scoping in that you BIND a context to

Looks complicated to reason about, but really interesting. Freeforth implements a similar mechanism to eliminate swaps via register renaming, obv. the focus is different in that Freeforth tries to still be an optimised stack, rather than a

I'd take a leaf out of Freeforth's compiler ( https://github.com/dan4thewin/FreeForth2 ): It implements a repl via single-pass (as with all forths) compilation of an anonymous block. Scoping in forth is dynamic

A lot of people do similar with 3D printing now (esp. over COVID to print PPE), so there is a glimmer of this time :) Time to offer a real-world POV-Ray printing service? ;)
