I suspect the real reason they are doing this is to condition the students to accept oppressive and unjust surveillance in future workplaces.

Lots of jazz and rock music meets these criteria

Just ext4 on my Linux things; I got scared away from btrfs because of some file loss horror stories

chrome, the android os and platform and all the apps therein. I mainly use firefox, but some things only work in chrome.

I get the impression he is barely keeping his head above water – he seems to hardly understand what is happening around him. Not quite Mitch level, but similar.

Nice. Take that, adware installers! Web exploits and phishing are still (minor) risks though, since they’re mostly platform agnostic.

Sounds like a lot of hot air coming from the guy who bypassed congress to float an extra $106,000,000 so the IDF can use more guns and bombs on civilians.

I used to be a vote blue no matter who, afraid of Trump fascism, but a statement must be made that this is not okay.

This would have been helpful in, like, 2014, but better late than never I suppose. Interestingly, a recent skeptoid episode covered a similar topic

nomachine works well in my experience; it’s pretty straightforward to set up. And it offers nice performance. It’s free (as in beer), but it is proprietary software – they make their $$ selling enterprise features on their website.

That is a very good point. Cheers!

It’s not enough. It’s better than nothing, but it’s not enough.

Those “Wealth Increases” are only meaningful for people who are already extremely wealthy.

For the rest of us, people touting “the economy” are just background noise; the reality is, housing costs are out of control; people with professional jobs can’t even afford a one bedroom apartment. Food prices have skyrocketed; the other day, I noticed a gallon of milk cost me $7. A sandwich or a burrito costs $15. That’s nearly a half hour wage for me, which is about the same buying power I had when I was making $7.25 in the late nineties.

We need a sea change, and it needs to start with a wholesale replacement of our congressional body.

It makes me feel sick that Biden is sending more money to Israel, with no conditions, knowing that all of that money will be used for genocide.

It’s also upsetting (but not surprising) to see so many Israel apologists on social media.

bluesky is not that great. I can’t recommend it.

Oh, no! Billionaires with short term, selfish thinking might lose money! What a tragedy.

It’s pretty great - it has nice tooling and well structured problems to sharpen your programming skill on. One issue I discovered is, if you are studying a less popular language, the difficulty ratings tend to be inaccurate - things that are labeled medium might be super easy, while things labeled easy might be super difficult.

Also, just because something passes in your local doesn’t mean it will pass on exercism - the resources allocated to their cloud servers are skinnier than what you are likely running. This is part of what pushes problems another level up in difficulty.

Comments like this make me wish we had a downvote button.

If you have an android, there are two games that did a great job with 2d space combat and trading - spacerpg3 and spacerpg4. 3 is definitely inspired by EV Override, while 4 is very much its own thing.
