That’s a rich man’s problem. You miss the point - having this type of problems for a startup is a huge win

Yes! Yes it did! Israel is risking its soldiers’ lives and gives up home land security to reduce harm for civilians.

Since October, I've replaced my M-series 14" Macbook Pro for a M-series Macbook Air and I'm pretty glad with it. I can do almost anything I could have done with my Pro (Figma, coding, Docker) with so much less weight on my shoulders (commuting to work, working in cafes, etc).

I remember sketching such a device 10 years ago as a young Apple fan-boy. Love this!

I’ve been waiting for something like this to pop up for a long while! Do you consider integrating with VSCode?

There’s no apartheid in Israel. 20% of Israel’s citizens are Arab. There are Palestinian civilians who chose to live in a separatist area and refused time after time to recognise Israel and have their own state in the West Bank.

Because there was a formidable Jewish population in Israel before WW II and the horrors of the holocaust made the world understand the Jewish people must have their own country. On the other hand, the UN wanted to give the Palestinians (which were never an independent nation before) their own country.

Mind you the Jewish helped the British to get to Palestine in the first place. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nili The British, like in many other colonies were bad rulers, and even so the majority of the Jewish population didn’t wage war on the Brits and waited patiently for the Mandate to be over

What the hell does it have to do with the 1947 resolution??? And yeah the UN is full of countries that call for the inhalation of Israel today. They expect Israel to stay silent while its citizens are being slaughtered, kidnapped, raped and bombarded

That is not true, the Arab countries decided to wage war in Israel after the UN proposed the two state solution. Herzl and many other founding figures in Zionism called for peace and integration in the Middle East. Jewish people thought because they had no choice. Meanwhile in Europe Jews were massacred or if they were lucky bullied and harassed.

It is back

Slide out, now that’s a 2000s throw back!

Love the idea, and the blog post writing. The author really comes off humble, honest and a constructive project leader. Good luck!

Except for technical correctness maybe I don’t see your point. What’s wrong about saying it is built on Postgres and provides the elastic search functionality?

I’m a long time reader of HN and don’t recall many threads about other wars, especially in the ME (but I’m open to be proven wrong).

The news coverage of Israel’s war in western media is huge. And while other ongoing wars in the ME, many of them led by dictators that are not even trying to seem democratic or just BTW, Israel gets the spotlight every single time. And HN definitely showed more interest in this than many other bloody conflicts in the ME.

Many of the Israelis commenting here are not supportive of the West Bank settlers including myself.

Israel is not colonising anyone. Even the West Bank was occupied in ab existentixal war against proper state armies and violent civilians groups in 1967.

Do you know Israel was trying to strike peace deals with the Palestinians multiple times and faced stagnation and rejection from their leadership? Also, the only reason Hamas exists is Israel completely pulled out from the Gaza Strip in 2007 letting it be self governed like an independent state. So no, it doesn’t matter what happened 56 years ago. Things have changed, there were many, many opportunities to change course and nothing justifies the horrific vicious terror attack of October 7th.

The Israeli army is making a huge of effort to reduce harm to civilians. Including notifying in advance before striking buildings and giving proper time for evacuation of civilians from Northern Gaza. In many cases, Hamas forces Gazan people to stay in the danger zone despite IDFs warnings for people to die in their holy war. It is super hard to act morally when your enemy is using their own people as human shields

As I wrote in another comment, most Israelis in tech are not religious and take on call duties during Saturdays and religious holidays

Most Israelis in tech are not religious and take on call duties on Saturday (Sabbath) just like Christians take on call duties on Sundays.

FYI Israelis are not on holiday - our holidays are on whole different dates. Hire Israelis and experience no down time while working with Silicon Valley level talent

Not always true. I for one love cities (if they’re walkable, clean and safe). Never intend to move to the suburbs.

Great writing piece, thank you for submitting!

This works really well. Don’t love the force graph animation. I think UI of pages that you can go in and out is much better for this use case

So it's basically an ontology? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology

Just would like to share React Spreadsheet is a simple alternative. Fully open source, fully customisable and maintained for a few years https://iddan.github.io/react-spreadsheet/

For people who would like a more safe and structured approach (but almost as powerful and with the option to resort to SQL strings if needed) I highly recommend checking out Prisma https://www.prisma.io/

I fail to understand why not use the native browser rendering engine, or at least SVG for the UI. It must be cheaper in resources (memory, network, cpu), easier to make accessible and easier to render

Another rather new option is VSCode + the Java plugin
