Israel is a Jewish state - it was determined long ago the Jews should get a nation state along side a Palestinian nation state. Considering Jews' unique history of persecution it would be pretty crazy to argue they are not a people, so

And trying to destroy Israel (cos it's just like South Africa!1) is completely rational? Plenty of lunatics on both sides of the fence here. I don't like the woke religion more than the evangelical religion.

Ember is pretty nice as a framework but the harsh truth is the community barely exists. As an Ember noob the fact that many Stackoverflow answers on Ember are outdated (Ember has changed a lot between versions), and many things are simply n

Your jew friends are under quite some pressure to fit in and not come out as priviledged/zionist pigs/disloyal Americans/etc etc. It's not really an easy position to be in.

Haaretz is about 50% non Zionist (looking at the regular writers like Gideon Levi, Amira Haas, most guest columns and not to mention the Arab writers). It represents the views of maybe 5-10% of Jewish Israelis and I think I'm being gen

"Israel’s leading tabloid, Yedioth Ahronoth" Huh, Yedioth Ahronot is a tabloid? It's centrist, it's no tabloid. It's probably the most important newspaper in the country still. Sorry this article is trash and the to

I guess for people who like types whatever tools Elixir comes up with will never match a true typed language like Java or Kotlin. Was the whole thing really worth a rewrite - have no idea. They also mentioned lack of libraries. I don't

It's not necessarily about disliking JavaScript. I can see Node people using this as well, why wouldn't they? Not everyone wants or needs to double their app code by building both a server app and a SPA. I might be exaggerating by

I like how many frameworks end up cloning what Rails is doing (Stimulus / Turbolinks etc).

What framework are you using then? Rails is pretty intuitive and easy...I am biased yes but nothing I saw from Spring or Django made me think they made more sense than Rails. The whole Bean thing is pretty crazy. Django is an over engineerd

Shopify is not a unicorn...sorry for nitpicking. Its a publicly traded company worth 210 billion dollars. It used to be a unicorn a long time ago.

YOU are faster with Typescript. Can you accept the fact that certain people are not and do not like Typescript? You live in a Typescript bubble so you conclude everyone is doing that. Just open a jobs board and see for yourself not everyone

What does super common mean? Do I see these bugs once a month? No, I do not. Null exceptions are common I agree with that. For me its not enough to appreciate something like Java or Go but I understand the argument.

Have never heard of Divvy and Slab. PagerDuty is a nice company though. Thats still not much. You can't compare it to Go or Kotlin or Swift who are about the same age as Elixir.

Null exceptions can even happen in Java. I wasnt refering to those.

I think people may be traumatised by what happened to Perl or Cobol. They don't want to become obsolete. In reality what happened to Perl isn't the norm imo.
