Edit: I meant to say it's the first I have finished (which will happen soon). I'm not saying there aren't other worthy technical books out there I'm sure there's plenty.

Yeah this is probably correct. Still, on some rare occasions it's so hard to get into a topic that if there's a good book I would give it a try. For example: I'm interested in Ruby internals. The codebase is very very complic

Ruby Under a Microscope is the first and only technical book I will finish; if you like Ruby and are curious about how things work under the hood it's a joy to read. You need to look for something that actually interests you. Reading

One man's debt is another's asset. If the banks don't collect their mortgages they might collapse. Will I trust a bank to save my money if I knew their balance sheet is negative?

I don't care about NSO at all, they can shut down tomorrow for all I care. I'm just saying if the alternative is between something like the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood type movements - to something like t

It also runs on Intel and probably gets some supplies from Europe. It's pretty insane to boycott any company that indirectly works with the U.S military.

It would be quite a blow if the 5% of Israeli government who use IPhones (IPhones aren't really popular outside the U.S) suddenly have to switch to Android. As an extreme measure I suggest blocking their itunes accounts. And no more Ma

The U.S supports the same regimes. The U.S made huge weapons deals with UAE, Saudi Arabia and more. Selling actual fighting jets that destroy thousands of people, not some cyber app.

> Just sucks for everyone else Not necessarily. I assume you mean it fortifies despot regimes in the Middle East right? I no longer think at this time there is any sane alternative.

by montblanc 5y ago
Is that so much different than how the U.S operates, other than Israel is really fun to demonize? The U.S arms whoever it wants to arm, Europe as well. So selling F-15's is cool but cyber hacks isn't. Got it.

A bit more nuanced; Israeli Arab Muslims (besides Bedouins) and Arab Christians don't go to the army besides some very small number of volunteers. Bedouins are a special case but I think going to the army isn't as prevalent with t

Lots of people complain about Elixir's lack of types and possible incomprehensible mess caused by Macros. It kinda proves to me that everyone has different tastes in software and that's about it, there is no objective truth to any
