Holidays, War, Technology ========================= We are now in the Jewish month of Tishrei - a month of holidays that begin with the Jewish new year's day. The tenth day is the day of atonement, Yom Kippur. And on this year's someone has decided to organize a prayer in Dizengoff Circle. Some didn't like it because the prayer was supposed to be in gender segregation with partition. For some, it is a reason to protest. I was in another city, and went to pray at the conservative synagogue with no segregation. I think I am good enough a citizen without going to disruptive protests. There were more prarets and protests in the some place during Sukkot. I had other things to do. I think that technology is by far more interesting. A war on Israel began on last Saturday, the morning of Simchat Torah. Hamas terrorists infiltrated. Hundreds of people got killed including childern and senior citizens. Don't those terrorists have better things to do? Why not deciding to desert once they got into Israel. leave the dictatorship behind and start a new life? Isn't technology by far more interesting than killing innocent people and maybe getting killed? I have installed Termux on my Android phone, so I can use ssh and sftp to access it from my desktop via Wi-Fi. And I have a good VNC viewer. I hope I will find the way to open links copied om my phone in firefox opened on my desktop. I also started a journey to integrate a rational function. there's a little problem with LyX's GUI, so I'm editing a TeX document in emacs. A great place to learn TeX is Wikibooks (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX). You can compile your work then using the command: latexmk -pdf I remember how glad I was to be discharged from military service and start academic studies. So, don't you think technology is by far more interesting than fighting us?
