@elston_ @truthbait @cjd You left out "Palestinians" who stayed in Israel during the 6 day war and are citizens. And Messianic Jews. Those are large groups. There are probably more. (Christian missionaries living in Israel - don't know how large.)
@rygorous @wolf480pl That's why we used "emulators" of a virtual insn set (modern example being Java) - so that moving to a new ISA was trivial and barely a blip. Moved from 68k to 88k to PPC to x86 with all the code binaries unchanged - just port the emulator.
IBM did similar with their AS400. The apps were mostly RPG, which was unchanged as they kept changing the CPU.
@rygorous @wolf480pl My all time fave ISA as an assembly programmer was Dec20. 36bit insns and memory architecture. String insns could pack 4 to 12 bit values into 36 bit words. 4 bit hex, 5 bit baudot, 7 bit ASCII, 9 bit extended ASCII were all used in my code.
It's a pipe dream now, but I keep hoping a balanced ternary CPU will drop before I die.

@regehr @steve To wit: virtual memory is a lie, by design. Uniform memory is a lie. Shared instruction/data memory is a lie. Coherent caches are a lie, caches would rather be _anything_ else. Buses are a lie. Memory-mapped IO is IO lying about being memory. Oh and the data bits and wires are small and shitty enough now that they started lying too and everything is slowly creeping towards ECCing all the things
@truthbait @zephyrotv In Genesis, Joseph was considered "dead", and Israel adopts his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh when they are reunited - making 13 tribes. But only 12 are listed in the many listings - leaving one out. There seems to be a lot of coded meaning in which one is left out.
In Revelation, the tribe of Dan is left out.
@NGIZero What I don't want is "joint mainenance of FOSS code with EU govt". There was no "No" answer, so I picked "prefer not to say".

The European Commission has issued a survey on the Governance and Sustainability of Critical Open Source Software.
The survey hopes to identify "pathways for collective efforts" and make "actionable recommendations for public administrations".
It's a relatively short survey, takes max 15 minutes & provides lots of opportunities to rate FOSS as 'very important' 😛

@PNS What about supervillainy? Exceptional races have more supervillains as well as musicians, etc. The first black supervillain that comes to mind is Nimrod (from Genesis). What's a more recent one? Joseph Kony (LRA) didn't have enough influence to qualify as "supervillain". Same for US Congress critters like Mad Maxine.
@cjd You mean like a federation of between 13 and 52 sovereign states?
@cjd Part of the confusion is that there are two different words translated "knowledge" in KJV. The tree is named daath in 2:17, https://biblehub.com/hebrew/1847.htm while the serpent promises yada in 3:5, https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3045.htm
The KJV translates daath as "premeditated" in Joshua 20:3,5. The most common context for yada is e.g. 4:1, "and Adam knew his wife".
daath is choosing for yourself. E.g. Exodus 31:3 describes a needed quality of an artist for the tabernacle: able to make his own design choices.
yada is knowing by direct intimate experience. In Genesis 15:8, Abram wants some tangible evidence or token of God's promise.
So - the tree is indeed a test. Satan subtly alters what God actually said. Many think Adam may have exaggerated the prohibition with "neither shall you touch it".
