That’s it? That’s like an upper middle class boomer’s retirement fund. I presume much of the compensation is going to be in diplomatic concessions.

An issue I’ve seen brought up in the open source community is that they have audits that look at the number of untriaged issues and time to resolve serious issues that their funding depends on.

I’m in software, but not open source, so it seems like they don’t have someone aligned with their team who they can sit down and say “either we need more resources, cut scope for new features, or accept quality / security issues coming up” to, its kind of this weird game of politics they end up needing to play to get any kind of funding for full time maintainers.

That’s the main reason they can’t just ignore issues that come up in their backlog, especially security ones.

Kind of, in this case its a vulnerability in a portion of code that you need to compile with special flags to even include in the library (ie its not in the default build, you need to rebuild it and opt-in) so its super low impact and just ends up giving the maintainers excessive paperwork.

Security vulnerabilities are different, especially when they also put a 90 day disclosure period in it which is more severe for a security exploit.

That disclosure bit, not in the article, is really what tipped this all over the edge. If it was just hey, here’s a bug then its really just flooding the backlog for the maintainers who need to triage that. Disclosures are often used so people are aware that they’re using libraries that the maintainer has refused to patch, but in this case its really just holding the maintainers hostage so they end up wasting their time going through irrelevant issues.

Also, many of these libraries get security audits to make sure they are actually triaging and working through their backlogs, so could lose actual funding they get.

Ideally, they would either use their supposedly capable and powerful AI code gen to just make a fix and send over a patch, or at least use LLMs on their own end to triage the issues and only send over the most sever X periodically.

Because its the only one that supports rendering the opening cutscene from a decades old lucas arts game.

They wouldn’t have penny auctions. They would be virtual so they couldn’t be bullied into not bidding and the bidders would be global so they wouldn’t give a shit about the person whose land it was.

Caveat, I don’t play a ton of modded games, but Dwarf Therapist for Dwarf Fortress is such a good mod. Makes the game playable, lol.

This is why humanities degrees are important. We’re putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.

Do you have a source for that? Only clip I could find had him also endorsing Susan Collins and was clearly satirical. The stream I watched had him not really sure how to react to it for a while. I think he assumed the skull was more well known than it actually was, like if he had an actual swastika on his chest.

Idk, I was raised Hindu, and the swastika is a fairly common icon and is perfectly reasonable to use but if I’m presenting it in a public context, I understand that I may need to clarify how its being used to people who are not familiar with the specific cultural context in which I’m using the iconography.

He’s not doing that, he’s just like I thought it was a funny skull, and it seems like he was made aware of it before hand, didn’t really get it with any intent around the historical context, and never thought to get it covered up.

I’m not saying he’s a secret Nazi, but I do think he’s just careless with his public image which has real repercussions as a politician on a national stage. Its not even about what other skeletons he has in his closet, its has his campaign team even done its due diligence vetting him and having proper communication strategies around potential scandals that may arise.

No one’s perfect, but part of doing politics professionally in a national scale means taking the job seriously and running your team professionally. It doesn’t matter what your policies are if you can’t develop any influence to actually push your ideology. Otherwise you’re just one vote.

Nancy Pelosi made a good point about AOC when she first joined and tried to aggressively push for policies, she has her agenda and cast her one vote which is all the political power she has. Now that’s not to say you need to bend the knee completely, but AOC has since been able to develop and leverage political pressure from the general public through a well curated personal brand by asking useful questions and running personal brand and her campaign in a serious intentional way. From what I’ve seen of Plattner, I don’t see that coming from him.

Say what you will about Hasan, I think his take on the tattoo is spot on. Regardless of whether or not he has or had Nazi sympathies, it shows a just complete incompetence in how the campaign was run and he’s just a liability to progressive movements.

If he isn’t going to take his campaign itself seriously. How you present yourself and are perceived in public matters and affects your ability to develop coalitions to push through legislation, especially on a national scale as a senator.

If I were a Maine voter, I would hold my nose and vote for him, but the next election cycle, he’s got to go unless he really shows some maturity in how he runs a national campaign within the first year. Otherwise, start looking for and pushing a different candidate for the next election cycle.

Hot take is pretty much a synonym for a gauche non-sequitor, but point taken.

It doesn’t. It costs money to skip a lot of the effort and have someone guide you through a curriculum and give you direct guidance and feedback on how to get that knowledge.

I have an Engineering degree, everything I learned there could absolutely be learned by someone curious poking around on the internet for videos, papers, and course slides that you’ll probably need to read alongside a wiki page. They tend to come up pretty quickly once you’re familiar enough with a field to start investigating one level deeper from a basic high school education.

Hot take, but French people have an inflated opinion about their food. It’s good, but they’re in Europe surrounded by German and English fare so it seems mind blowing to them.

Check out Asia, Vietnam did wonders with whatever the French introduced and that’s like a few decades of guys in street stalls while France has entire institutes dedicated to this stuff.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei had banger after banger for its openings.

One Piece OP1 is a classic

Gintama’s early openings and endings are also really good. Pray and Mr. Raindrop are great.

Would be remiss if I didn’t honorable mention Eden of the East just straight up using Falling Down by the band Oasis (the guys who wrote Wonderwall).

Its way better than it used to be. I don’t know if that’s just because there’s less drama happening right now regarding reddit, but I didn’t get a flooded front page when reddit’s chatbot citations started plummeting which is a huge improvement over the past.

I don’t think we should never talk about reddit, but I think it gets really annoying when people start clickbait spamming with Reddit headlines which hasn’t happened in a while.

The interviewee is consenting to this being something that is released soon after they die. They’re not stupid, they get that its a gimmick but also means they can say whatever they want to a larger audience because of the hype.

Ask people in western China how that’s working for them. And that’s only the width of one country, not a continent or hemisphere.

Where are my balls Summer?
