“Get your car out of the bike lane” gets 'em real mad every time.

I should hope it would be, because those antennas don’t fit in my rack and wouldn’t be appropriate even if they did (because I have separate WAPs distributed across the house via PoE).

Boasting a nearly eight-decade run, Archie is widely regarded as an iconic staple of pop culture.[21][22] The series is credited with codifying several of the archetypes found in subsequent teen and young adult media, such as: the girl next door, the mean girl, the popular jock, and most importantly, the love triangle;[23][24] the dynamic between Betty, Veronica, and Archie is perhaps the most referenced and lampooned example of this particular trope in media.[25]

Yes, they’re going to do something even if we don’t react. But no, it’s not necessarily martial law. I feel like people aren’t understanding what “plausible” martial law and the Insurrection Act invocation will really mean. It can and will get unimaginably worse, for not just those who choose it, but for millions of innocent people. It’s possible we can’t avoid that, eventually, but the rational choice is certainly to do what we can to avoid it.

No, it’s not necessarily the rational choice. Not if, for example, delaying to act causes us to lose in the long run, e.g. by giving the fascists more time to shift that Overton window slowly enough. In fact, you yourself acknowledge that in another part of your comment: that we have a limited window of opportunity before hypernormalization kicks in, and we’d better not squander it.

IMO Jupyter notebooks are a good example to look into first, if you want something more contemporary and somewhat widely-used than “tangle and weave.”

Welp, looks like the car-brains have gone full mask-off in Czechia. I always knew they were terrible people, but I wasn’t expecting to read an article making the connection quite so strongly today.

As Turek’s image as a tough guy with an expensive taste in cars shows, Motorists mainly represent younger men living in smaller towns, often dependent on cars and the automotive industry.

…

The group’s representatives often praise self-discipline, healthy lifestyles…

LOL, pretending car-dependency is a “healthy lifestyle.” All reading that makes me think of is how utterly fucking weak, pathetic, and generally inferior those losers must be compared to folks living an actually healthy and disciplined lifestyle.

It would require 3D printers sold in New York to include technology that blocks the unlicensed production of firearms and gun parts. It would also make it a crime to possess, sell or distribute digital blueprints for printing illegal guns.

This is an attack on my property rights as a 3D printer owner, never mind the Second Amendment (or First Amendment, for that matter). In practice, this would essentially require all 3D printers to have closed-source, DRM’d firmware and almost certainly spy on you. It is way, way more authoritarian than people only thinking in terms of “gun violence” likely give it credit for.

Also never mind that “is this 3D model a gun?” is an absurd thing to have a computer try to figure out, even with the recent advances in machine learning. That goes double if you care about things like distinguishing a gun that would actually shoot bullets from a water gun, nerf gun, or other vaguely gun-shaped nonfunctional object (which any frothing-at-the-mouth jackbooted thug who would stoop to supporting this clearly wouldn’t). And even then, guns are fundamentally simple devices made from multiple parts – is it going to SWAT you for printing a cylinder because it might be a gun barrel?!

This proposal is dangerously insane in every conceivable way, and probably several other ways I haven’t even thought of yet.

I like the way you presented the ctrl-c blog post as sort of introductory to the tonsky.me one. The second one is much more useful in terms of exploring the details and making specific recommendations, but the first one does a good job of motivating why I should care.

Also, it’s funny how both authors are kinda beating around the edges of literate programming e.g. in their discussion of code comments being one of the things worth highlighting, without ever quite getting there.

It’s a joke (and a bit of a dig on javadoc-esque documentation).

Veronica has literally been the archetype of “not ‘the one’” in American pop culture for 80 years, LOL.

But with the addition of an ifunny watermark. The law of equivalent exchange, I guess.

Once they left the facility, they were again hit with chemical agents officers were using on protesters in the area.

“We were not charged with a crime,” said Sigüenza. “We were released and then tear-gassed on our way out.”

Just in case there was any shred of doubt left about how sadistic these complete monsters are.

Putin could have his troops pack up and fucking leave any time he wants.

So far, I’m not finding it as enjoyable as the other two.

That’s 'cause it’s not.

It’s still good enough to be worth watching, though.

Making it easier for both parents to work isn’t as good as fixing the economics such that one parent could better afford to stay home (e.g. with UBI), but it’s a Hell of a lot better than fuck-all a liberal would’ve done.

Does he, though?

Think about it.

My additional complaint is that it should be nationwide.

Well, as the feminists say, “the personal is political.” 🤷

But still, I think this one is closer than some others that have been posted.

Just because it’s unencumbered by licensing issues unfortunately doesn’t guarantee open designs

Permissive vs. copyleft strikes again!

As more variety of hardware gets released, sooner or later Valve is going to need a “compatible with SteamOS” test that has little or nothing to do with hardware specs and will basically be equivalent to a generic “this game works in [at least one distro of] Linux” statement. I look forward to that.
