Which subject or subjects interest you? Do you prefer just reading, or are audio sources fine?

E.g. literature and story themes have good coverage on Nebula or YT.

History has a lot on just plain Wikipedia, or sites like NativeOak.org digital library.

There is no contradiction. Progressive is about taking the forced mold away, not creating a new one.

“Can help relieve” is a weak claim.

Squeeze weak and poor people more is the goal. I don’t believe they deserve we pass along this positive narrative of “well meaning”.

Does your diploma come with gold embossed lettering and a red stamp? If so I’m in.

Try to have a conversation around what this diploma “unlocks” in her life that she wants. If all she needs are a diploma to flash while witching, there are cheaper diploma mills that take less time.

Edit: Reading back it sounds like I’m being light-hearted about this. I’m not really. At some point children are adults that make bad choices that are out of your control, and the best you can do as a parent is to not alienate them by trying to prevent it but help them think things through.

That’s not the same as encouraging bad decisions, but accepting them. In a year or two that thinking may be what they need to make better choices, and they will still trust you to talk things through.

Usually, it is not the case that all the other cars on the highway are not going the wrong way.

I’m on the toilet right now, focusing on burning issues. Let’s circle back to this later and touch base to lock down an updated roadmap.

Here’s my problem with anime: I keep getting burnt on recommendations.

Anime fans do not share my distaste for sexualized child-coded characters. Which would be tolerable if they would even acknowledge the CONCEPT.

It’s a dice toss whether the anime is a Cowboy Bebop or something with loli side characters halfway through season 2, and I’m just rarely up for spending the time to do that research for a recommendation.

And “Achshually, these are just drawings not real people”, “umm, she’s really a 1000 year old dragon who just chooses/got stuck with a small human body” fuckery just tires me.

I went to check. Turns out no, sorry.

Then the entire store applauded him and he went home and pumped iron for 82 hours straight while coding up the first version.

Russia just launched one called MAX 🙃

Thousands of H-1B workers would be sent back to India, and those submissive, loyal Indian workers would be replaced by locals – something venture capitalists don’t want. But guess what? AI will eventually replace these workers anyway.

Most big tech companies are full of unnecessary employees. Elon Musk recognized this and fired many employees after buying Twitter. Everyone thought it was a crazy decision, but it worked perfectly.

Unhinged rant, not news.

The number of guns will be increased again to handle the problems caused by the increased number of guns.

Take the train to Spain. They have such lovely terrain.

People will easily list a lot of credible legitimate usecases

that are hypothetical

and have remained hypothetical for 18 years.

Rich guys make a Reddit mee-too, wearing the clothes of a long-dead website.

It has no unique content, is not the center forum of any community, no untapped niche to fill.

PROMISINGGGHHHH says the journalist

Edit: I fucking hate mainstream tech journalism.

When one person says it’s sunny and another says it is raining, the role of the journalist is not to report the claims. The journalist’s job is to look out the window and check.

When one person says it is sunny, the tech journalist’s job is to sit in their windowless sweat cubicle and go “Wow! I am excited by how sunny it is!”

That is one of the points, yes.

But, the reason for wanting the IDE to validate based on partially entered expressions is given as making it easier to follow the code for a person working left-to-right.

And it’s not an invalid thing to want, but I expect the discussion to also include how it affects reading the code for a non-beginner.

Is string length len, length, size, count, num, or # ? Is there even a global function for length? You won’t know until you try all of them.

This is Python basics, so the argument would be to optimize readability specifically for people who have zero familiarity with the language.

(The other examples have the same general direction of readability tradeoff to the benefit of beginners, this one was just simplest to pick here)

That’s a valid tradeoff to discuss, if discussed as a tradeoff. Here it is not. The cost to readability for anyone with language familiarity appear to be not even understood.

If Adobe-or-Whatever has an undisclosed vulnerability, a few hundred people could easily already know about it due to working there. It can be due to bugs, or intentional backdoors required by corporate HQ or government.

They will leak this information. Either by accident or for financial gain. Those people will re-sell it to other shady people.

Now you sit on software where an unknown number of third parties can hack your shit. And you don’t know about the vulnerability, what is at risk, how to protect yourself, or who from.

You can mostly trust corpos to protect against general hackers to some extent, but backdoors by government or from their own needs they will just keep secret.

Sony’s Rootkit fuckery is probably the biggest example I can give, but there are tons more. Anti-piracy software are historically frequent offenders.

Sounds genuinely interesting! Is this available to read without giving traffic to a nazi allied platform?
