www.aljazeera.com Australia must recognise Palestine to promote peace

Such a move would support the peace efforts, not undermine them, as some have argued.

Australia must recognise Palestine to promote peace

Labor Senator Fatima Payman defies her party to advocate for the recognition of Palestine

> In opposition, our prime minister and the Labor Party were fierce champions of Palestine and passionate voices for justice. I ask that we summon that spirit of old and do the same in power.

Carbrained problems in narrow (wide) streets at the edge of suburban sprawl
  • I'm Australian, and the photo clearly showing that you can park a car and get two cars past one another tells me that these "narrow streets" are substantially wider than all the normal streets in my vicinity.

    I suspect this is more of a stroad (and planning) problem than an actual narrow street problem.

  • How do I learn to optimize my code better?
  • The functions you've called out are higher order functions regularly associated with the functional programming paradigm. "In the first place" for a lot of people would be a functional programming course at a university.

    For your specific case, rust (like a few other languages) implements these through iterator programming. There's a section in the rust book that might help.

    Apart from academia you learn from experience, including a healthy amount of reading other people's code, just like you did to find out about these functions in the first place!

  • www.theguardian.com ‘What is our future?’: the Nauru detention centre was empty. Now 100 asylum seekers are held there

    The number of asylum seekers at the centre has been slowly growing, with fears they will spend years trapped on the island

    ‘What is our future?’: the Nauru detention centre was empty. Now 100 asylum seekers are held there

    > “We must not forget that people have the legal right to seek safety and asylum. It is beyond comprehension the Albanese government is continuing Australia’s cruel legacy of banishing people offshore simply because they sought safety by sea, and to prevent political fallout from the opposition.” > > Abdel-Raouf said authorities on the island had kept asylum groups separate – and so unable to share information – and restricted people’s ability to contact family members, support agencies or advocacy organisations. Asylum seekers have had smartphones taken from them – and with them access to apps like WhatsApp to communicate with family – replaced by “brick” dumb phones without cameras, which means they cannot take photos to document their detention.

    OS3M Mouse | "Awesome" Mouse - the open source 3D mouse

    hackaday.io OS3M Mouse

    The awesome mouse sets out to conquer a problem I have yet to see solved in the maker community, a 6DOF, 3D-printable 3D mouse to use for CAD programs (and other modelling applications). I use a name-brand 3D mouse at work most days, but one day I came home and wanted the same capability here. After...
