A great deal of Israel's history and culture revolve around existential risks. I think this newspaper is just catering to it's audience. See other HN submissions for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=is

the USA is today is quite a bit far off from that time. Not because people are more empathetic, but because the legal system effectively penalizes reckless behavior like this. Try living in a country with lax consumer protection and liabili

I remember being excited that this would be (eventually) coming to windows in the pre-Vista. It was called WinFS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS Unfortunately this got canceled, IIRC due to difficulties with back-

TenMarks (kids education) was actually quite good. It has been shuttered recently. For some reason it was institutional focus only, and getting a family license was quite expensive. too bad all that high quality edu content is gone now :(

i think the reason is that, in my example of networking, the network i/o is an "interupt" kind of event, that is triggered outside of normal execution. like if there's a socket timeout. probably didn't have to be

on node, this can actually be very difficult or even impossible if using 3rd party libraries. For example, some node internals like networking require the invoker to attach to some obscure .on("error") event to avoid uncaught erro

i also never see cloudflare problems. however some sites refuse to do business with you if you are on a vpn (craigslist, BoA, etc) probably due to abuse from the same IP

Private Internet Access (PIA) doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article nor HN posts. I think that must be good then. I've been a happy PIA customer for about 5 years. They probably arn't the fastest (I get aprox 3.5mbit

If you know a bee-friendly alternative to grass for the Pacific Northwest, please let me know. clover? and where to get seed for it? I have about .5 acres I wouldn't mind turning over.

I don't know about needing to be non-judgemental to be mindful. I tend to curse myself out (repeatedly) at self-infractions and it seems to help. Though i recently noticed that explaining my problems to others seems to help the most.

just off the top of my head, but a bad guy could distribute a "bugged" version of the url that installs cookies and phones home. very hard for a normal person to tell the good link from a bad link, and removes the way most people

keep in mind though, that it's no longer delusions of grandeur to suspect a 3 letter agency watching you. Just matter of fact. Just make an international phone call with a non-citizen, for the most obvious example. Slightly less obvi

Re Object/functions, I think his example is a bit flawed too, but not for the reason you give. A lambda vs named function doesn't really change his pattern at all. The big problem for me is that it's offloading the logic fo

Agree! There's a package for just about anything you could want. If you are in a small shop (I'm a 1 person team) it's so invaluable. NPM's module selection is so wide that it's sometimes hard to find the best one
