That you cannot understand technology without understanding the people. And you cannot understand people without understanding politics. Every choice you made has an impact on the world.
As it happens, I had this very conversation with a high school kid yesterday who was in my office on work experience. She said something to the effect of “I’m not political” to which I looked her dead in the eye and said: “You should be. Everything is political”.
Thanks for sharing. It’s always good to see people advocating for Free licensing for the right reasons.
As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?
These rules are convoluted and near impossible to apply. Specific braking speeds for some objects compared to others? That requires reliable computer vision, which hasn’t been demonstrated anywhere yet.
And those speeds? 92mph is 148kph! Why the fuck are cars even permitted to be capable of that when no road in the country allows it? And why would you want to introduce unpredictable braking scenarios at such speeds?
What is feasible is a speed limiter based on the posted limit, but that’d be too practical.
I love this. I can just imagine them paying poor people to drive and protest in their place too.
Yeah I share your issue with their stance on Nuclear as well (though having worked in the industry for a few years now, I’m coming to realise it’s a moot point). I’ll push back a bit on your other points though. I’ve always found their proposals to be well thought out and fully costed.
The reason I’ve long supported them (even when the leadership was chaotic) was that they were the only party with a platform that shared my priority: a world not on fire. the Conservatives muzzled climate scientists, the Liberals literally bought a pipeline and the NDP keeps cozying up to oil in Alberta and loggers in BC.
Sure we’ve got crystal-clutching anti-nuclear loonies in the Greens, but at least I can trust they actually believe the IPCC enough to want to do something about it.
What’s wrong with the Greens?
A lot of places don’t have buses and the roads aren’t safe for kids to cycle anymore. The assumption is that if you’re a parent, you just have to “make time” some-crazy-how.
Yeah I thought about the security cases, but decided it wasn’t a problem for my situation since I was only archiving links that I’m selecting. If I were to open this to us, yeah that’s a real risk. I should probably add something about this in the docs.
The suggestion of pointing to archive.org was floated to me by someone on Mastodon actually, and I think I’ll probably add that option as well. Just not right now. I’m tired 😆
Yup. But it only swaps out the link from remote to local if show_local
is set to True
, which can be done automatically if the remote URL ever 404s.
We don’t use X, and we don’t use Facebook, and I’m not even close to feeling sorry."
Love it. Subscribed!
You may want to promote this in /c/solarpunk.
Honestly, this is so much better than those cases when the codebase is an absolute fucking nightmare are the senior dev doesn’t see it. Instead they gaslight you into thinking that this is actually best practice.
This might be fun to write actually. Basically you need a central server you connect to via a websocket that would plot points out on a map (maybe with leaflet?) on receipt of notifications pushed via said socket.
The trouble of course is that with a central server, you tend to incur costs, so you’d have to pay, unless some sort of P2P mesh could be established between participating parties. That’d be a fun problem to solve for sure.
Don’t these dipshits have anything better to do?
The minute you automate someone’s job, you do necessarily admit that society doesn’t need that person’s work to get by. The only reason they shouldn’t get to put their feet up and take it easy is political. And politically, we have decided instead what happens is they die.
I have been trying for years to put this into words when discussing capitalism & technology, but I’ve never come across something so succinct. Thank you.
Could he now sue the people that beat him (or even Sainsbury’s)?
That was just what I needed today. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Honestly, after having served on a Very Large Project with Mypy everywhere, I can categorically say that I hate it. Types are great, type checking is great, but applying it to a language designed without types in mind is a recipe for pain.
This line of reasoning is broadly underrated. Sure batteries are a thing, but if a liveable world means regular brown outs, I’m cool with it. The alternative after all is so much worse.
That was my takeaway as well. I just wish I had data for the other seasons. It’d be interesting to see how that might change the percentages as they are.
As for
GEOGIOU
, I’m reasonably sure that this refers to both versions of her.
