I guess I'm the only person that isn't a right wing weird but has hated Noam Chomsky for decades now. Anyway, welcome to the party, there's plenty snacks and refreshments.

Gosh, it sure seems like there's a simple explanation for why the NYT has always been absolute trash. At this point, what excuses remain for keeping a subscription? They've been on the wrong side of everything in history.

Ok, reading about three-cueing explains SO MUCH about low reading comprehension. I'm not smart enough to know how we learn to read, but guessing feels like it's extra wrong.
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

As an NH constituent, what I say to her is I'll be happy when you lose the primary for selling the people of NH out. As a side note, Shaheen is the reason NH had some of the worst, most expensive insurance costs for decades. Coincidence, I'm sure.
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

Being really impressed by the community remaining nonviolent isn't praiseworthy. Local PD and federal agents are ratcheting up violence regardless of what the community does. Either we have a constitution or we don't, and it's clear SCOTUS and ICE believe we don't.

A thousand times, this. Recognizing the humanity in other people should be the default, and taking a second to care about them is easy, kind, and sometimes fun. We all like receiving it, so why not give kindness too?
Being nice to people is just fun. Asked young server at taco place how her day was going (fine but tired) and she asked me back. I said I managed to finish my to-do list and she unexpectedly gave me a high five! Treating people like people is always rewarding.

I feel like rewriting working code is the exact place you'd expect to introduce new bugs. Memory safety in a tool that isn't suffering the problems that the new language addresses doesn't feel like an improvement.
In concept I’m a huge fan of porting infrastructural code to Rust/memory safe languages, but shipping broken code — especially code that causes silent data loss — doesn’t help that cause.
`dd` incorrectly counts partial reads toward `count` limit, causing data loss in pipelines · Issue #9119 · uutils/coreutils
Summary uutils dd has a critical bug where partial reads from pipes are counted toward the count=N limit, causing premature termination and significant data loss. GNU dd correctly only counts full ...
