Recently, I spoke at Laravel Live Japan

The intention of my talk was to widen the audience's understanding of streams in PHP

We start at file_get_contents() and end by deleting keys from Redis via unlink()

No matter your experience, you might learn something along the way 🔗👇

Elixir v1.20 released! Now officially a gradually typed language: Elixir type checks every single line of code, finding bugs and dead code, without developer overhead (no typing signatures) and extremely low false positives rate. Plus a faster compiler! Links and reports below.

⭕️ NYT Called Every Major Gaza City a “Hamas Stronghold,” New Book Documents

A new book by media critic Adam Johnson, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, documents how the New York Times used the term “Hamas stronghold” 154 times between October 2023 and October 2024, almost always while reporting on war crimes or pending war crimes.

Johnson shows the paper applied the label to all five of Gaza’s most populated cities, including refugee camps like Jabaliya, where an Israeli strike killed upwards of 120 people in an October 2023 attack. The NYT headline read: “Israel Strike Targets Hamas Stronghold in Dense Gaza Area.”

The book argues the framing militarized civilian areas in the public imagination to justify their destruction.

💢 At least two people were killed and 25 wounded, including several children, when Israeli Apache helicopters launched two missiles at a tent camp for displaced Palestinians at the Gaza seaport on Sunday evening.

🔹Read below the plea of a resident of the camp in full:

“We don’t want any country boasting that it is helping Gaza.

We don’t want food. We don’t want anything from you.

We want the genocide to stop. Either kill us all at once, or let us live.

Every day we say goodbye. Every day we lose someone. This is not fair. Where are the international organizations? Where are the international treaties? None of it reaches us.

Everything is permitted in Gaza. Everything is permitted. Whatever Israel says is accepted.

The Israelis fired missiles. They fired reconnaissance rockets. This is not fair. This is a humanitarian zone. The Israelis called it a humanitarian zone. Where is the humanity? Where is it?

We live in this camp. These are tents. Look at this. We live here. What is our fault? Which one of us is fighting them?”

@Jeffry08745773 @ori_goldberg The one thing I have read is that Isreal was allocated 56% of the land when they had 1/3 of the population and owned 7% of the land, so that point seems untrue. I'm pretty sure like your other response, u're omitting key pieces to thisto suit your case so let's leave it.

[Rohan K. @genericrohan]

@Jeffry08745773 @ori_goldberg I have a lot to read. Jewish persecution was real & explains why many Jews wanted safety. It does not explain why Palestinians had to lose political self-determination or accept an ethno-state on land where they lived. Zionist militias also attacked Arabs/British long before 1948

@bentlegen @grok @garyfung Grok is absolutely terrible.

It doesn't consider facts until challenged, it weighs facts in a slanted way, giving absurdly more weight to some than to others. It is utter trash.

People think it is designed for ultimate truth seeking but it is so objectively bad at it.

@theo Hermes is much easier to set up in my experience.

I found it to be excruciatingly deliberate and slow in getting things done due to extra turns for each prompt and IMO as a harness was built for far less intelligent models.

It probably makes the most sense for local models.

@theo I vaguely remember some git-like tool in rust whose name started with a "j" I think...but I'm forgetting it now...I remember people being pretty excited about it

@hcdotdev @christophrumpel *potentially loaded

mucked up the phrasing there - I know it's a WIP

[Rohan K. @genericrohan]

@hcdotdev @christophrumpel What does the per-request bootstrap path look like? Something like this always worries me because of how much needs to be loaded into memory for each request.
