This is awesome, I love this. Also advance sorry for the wall of text. Feel free to keep on ;) Actually, I have another super relevant example. The Talmud derives that one should always hold the kiddush cup (glass of wine) when making its b

This is an excellent example.. and my life ;). There are all sorts of things that I don't serve Ashkenazim (Europeans) that are kosher for us North Africans. In particular, I'm fond of Arak (and Bouja). I have Arak from Turkey (Ra

No, they're different - apologies if I'm not clear, or making assumptions in the following! Amongst most Sepharadim we have the מסורת that Swordfish is kosher - there is a discussion about the relative Kashruth (Kosherness) in t

The problem is that I want to control things with my voice. I have no desire to pass screens all over the house, nor do I carry my phone - or frankly most technology with me. When I'm going upstairs, and I determine I'd like to -

Stop being an expert in something, and instead learn how to learn, and execute. Aim to become a polyglot (or even a polymorph!), and go with the flow, rather than spending all your time focusing on what's currently cool. There is treme

Depends what I'm building. When getting it done as quickly as possible, I'd rely on Python - Django, and Postgres. If time is still of the essence, but not as breakneck, I'll use Python - Fastapi and Posygres. If I have more

It's fascinating to me how this is a topic of conversation in parts of the world, and a fait accompli in others. In Israel, may Hareidim use "kosher phones", which the world would recognise as dumb phones. Some allow for text

On the personal technology front - I've been finding desktop notifications incredibly frustrating - to the point that I've had them off for years. The reality is that on a per-service basis, I want specific notifications. I'

I hosted a server, in my bedroom back in the late 90s. By server, I mean a desktop running Slack, connected to the internet and allowing me to SSH into it. It could recover just fine from a power outage, but unfortunately due to a RAM issue

Books. Every year the "thing" that most enhances my life is culture. I read voraciously, read to calm myself, my brain, and to generally shut off technology.

IMHO this is the same sort of issue that hydrogen as a car fuel has. It's a stop-gap, interim measure that people hope will succeed prior to full bore measures like lab-based meat. But, it's more than that. It's also economic

Hi everyone! A tonne of the discussion recently about DALL-E, AI, and Stable Diffusion has been around technology, job loss, and the like. But, I was most struck by the recent story ( https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09&#x2F

Humans. It doesn't matter what country or culture. We're mostly busy arguing over the colour of a political party, as opposed to working on the root cause of important issues.

I find it interesting that the conversation herein is about the viability, as opposed to whether or not this is a desired outcome. Personally, I welcome every outcome where machines replace the roles people undertake (myself included). A fa
