Israel has a body of Basic Laws, and Barak has declared that body to represent a Constitution. The Supreme Court is doing a good job determining where a law contradicts a Basic Law, and invalidating that law because of a contradiction . E.

Stacking the Supreme court with likely-minded people is not limited to any party, and has indeed been used by both. I think this is a feature, not a bug, and it's there by design.

It doesn't have to be a type per method , and if someone is "going to bother with this" depends on the application — I guess in many cases it's perfectly fine to write a happy code with a single catch where you present

There's a lot of mechanical watches that are neither Rolex nor Nomos. Seiko 5s are excellent and can be had at below $100. No batteries need to be changed.

I think this is a circus, where Putin and Prigozhin are completely aligned, and the point of that show is to make one point: if the West doesn't like Putin, there are options that are much worse.

Laugh all you want, but Waze actually has less of the "social" side to it today than it had ten years ago. Maybe some Google PM even got promoted for removing some chat functionality for once.

I'm in an even smaller minority and I think C++ was a monstrosity already in 99. To use an analogy, it looked like a cat with 11 legs, even back then. Of course they added more legs since, and they keep on adding.

My point is: this is cool and all, but it makes the functional part of QR codes harder, not easier. While something can be functional and beautiful at the same time, and while QR codes are not beautiful by any means, this adds beauty but at
