  • It’s insane to me that conservatives hide behind religion and idolize people with incomprehensible amounts of wealth. It also occurs to me that none of these extremely wealthy people who are seen as leaders have any grasp on the teachings of Christianity and are not concerned with the afterlife.

    I’m not saying having wealth is inherently sinful but having the means to effect positive change and instead continuing to line your pockets while the world burns when you already have enough wealth to live a hundred or thousand lifetimes in absolute luxury probably earns you a special place in hell, if it exists.


  • It may have existed before but it’s pretty clear this is about weeding out dissenting opinions, to my knowledge the only thing that would previously disqualify you would be extremist opinions that aligned with terrorist groups. Now if at any point you’ve criticized the actions of MAGA then you’re probably SOL. You’d probably be disqualified for saying Elon is a moron. Trying to downplay this as “not news” is pretty disingenuous considering they’ve shown they don’t care about the law or anyone’s constitutional rights.




  • Isn’t that what threading is? Concurrency always happens on single core. Parallelism is when separate threads are running on different cores. Either way, while the post is meant to be humorous, understanding the difference is what prevents people from picking up the topic. It’s really not difficult. Most reasons to bypass the GIL are IO bound, meaning using threading is perfectly fine. If things ran on multiple cores by default it would be a nightmare with race conditions.



  • To the users yes, or coax(DOCSIS), how they get to the Internet doesn’t really matter, the challenge for rural communities is how they connect to the urban networks(backhaul).

    A lot of rural towns are actually serviced by wireless point to point radios. They have some impressive throughput capabilities but nowhere near what fiber can provide. Also, they are affected by environmental factors like weather or wildlife (https://youtu.be/cZkAP-CQlhA?si=Q1PWMwxSsZHw6ahE)

    ISPs don’t really want to spend millions of dollars to run fiber through mountains to service a town of 4 or 5 thousand people, it would be a poor investment, this is where government programs like above can be useful in then allowing that town or region to have better Internet.

    They can probably make the argument that starlink is cheaper but it’s not a long term solution.






  • When people complain about Windows in a work environment, I wonder really what their complaints are. I mean I don’t like windows either but at the end of the day you’re just using visual studio and maybe a terminal emulator to access your work. Your codebase is on a test server or production server.

    That said, my mind was blown when I used my first mac. Even the best windows laptop I’ve been given at work would maybe last 4 hours without charging. I can use my Mac for almost two days without charging it which makes going to the office that much easier when I can sit outside. I don’t know if Windows is just extremely inefficient with its resource management or of it’s all the bullshit spyware companies bloat every PC with but if the company absolutely won’t let you install a Linux desktop OS I’d just ask for a Mac. Plenty of staff use them at universities





  • Nah, I mean, sharing this on LinkedIn is basically a “humble brag”, LinkedIn is all about marketing yourself as a professional brand. If she needed an outlet she’d discuss this with a friend, a coworker, or even an actual social media platform. It’s basically like “I can’t stop crushing goals, my husband is content just existing, is there something wrong with me? Why am I such a beast? Why is he content being lame? Anyone else feel this or am I in a minority of overachievers?”

    Not even bringing up the fact that this is very publicly scrutinizing her husband, or at the least, airing out her laundry. I’d be furious if someone shared a private, intimate conversation just to make a point for social media validation. But then again, I’m a pretty private person.

    I think if she was actually crushing her goals, she’d do so in silence. That’s what most overachievers actually do.

    All you need is a french press and they’re pretty cheap. You just put the coffee and water in the fridge overnight 8-10h and it’s good by morning. Way better than regular coffee imo. I’m sure there’s snobbier ways to make cold brew but I value simplicity
