I don’t know about Mental Outlaw specifically, but there’s a vein of FOSS YouTube influencers who are very American libertarian in nature. And the important thing to understand abour american libertarians is they are largely fascists. They fly don’t tread on me and pro cop flags together. Its not that theyre anti authority. They’re pro authority beating up minorities. Does that make sense?

Java devs have some of the worst habits when they learn a new language. Why create a global variable for a setting in python when you can instead wrap that global variable in a Singleton class that makes using it no safer, and far more complicated

Cube6392,

There are good reasons to do singletons in python. But your first instinct shouldn’t be to jump straight to one

VS Code + vim plugin is sooo slooow. I’m happy it works for you but I can’t wait to finish on boarding my onboarding buddy so I can go back to vim where I belong

I’m going to give what I’ve realized newer folks to Vim think is a scorching hot take: VimL is nice. Theyre the same editor commands you use in your day to day life, even if you’re using NeoVim + Lua, just all written out in a file.

That said, using NeoVim + Lua makes it far easier to organize your config, which also makes it easier to write more complex configs. It’s like the difference between building a shed around back for your home office vs building a cathedral. Its fine to work in a shed, but once you know you can build a cathedral, you’re kinda tempted to just up and do it

Election denier and 'MyPillow Guy' Mike Lindell confirms he's out of money, can't pay legal bills (news.yahoo.com)

Attorneys who’ve been defending MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can’t pay the millions more that he’ll owe in legal expenses going forward....

Keep in mind a right wingers view of the left is like a Catholic’s view of satanism, agnosticism, and atheism. The assumption isn’t that the left wants fundamentally different things, the assumption is that the left wants different means to the same end, that end being a controlled world view. When right wingers create these things, they tell on themselves. They present what the left wants as simply being fully in opposition to their target audience thinks about. They view left and right as oppositional parties thirsty for control. It doesn’t matter if the reason the left defended Bill Clinton in the 90s was that impeachment should be used to curb illegal behavior, not for personal petty squabbles. That’s how the right uses impeachment trials, so that’s their presumption of what the left uses them for, too.

As for the things the left does want but don’t appear here? These are things the right doesn’t conceive of as being actual aims. No public transit? That’s because they do not care about or think about it

What software and organization systems are you using for your PKMS? (kbin.melroy.org)

I’m not using any particular organization strategy like Zettelkasten or PARA or anything. I am using Obsidian for most things, but my to-dos are in Apple Reminders and there are some scattered pieces of information in Google Docs and Notion that I still have yet to migrate to Obsidian.

Academia is a scam and in a lot of ways the only reward for locking yourself into it is the opportunity to tell young people to just follow your narrow path to success. And I’m not saying everyone in academia is a trying to scam students, I mainly mean that PhDs lack objectivity on how the world works because they’re so locked into their weird little corner of the world and view of as fine and normal

I assumed we weren’t talking “expected semicolon” since that ones pretty explanatory and would never appear on a blank line. That said, it does provide an opportunity to talk about the worst code style I ever saw. A dude decided he wanted semicolons at the start of lines so that compiler error always mapped to the line he would have put the semicolon on

That’s what we get with the Republicans’ hostage taking political strategy. True policy improvemants take around 30 years to enact, oversee, and reap the benefits from. Starting with Reagan, almost nothing ever gets seen through. Every politician is on a two year clock to block or pass enough bills to get funding to do it again. As an organism our country has ADHD

Also this isn’t how you shoot a horse

Cube6392,
@Cube6392@beehaw.org avatar

If you’ve never done it before, congratulations, try to keep it that way. If its your first time you’re going to want a tube of greese paint or some chalk. Draw an x using it from the left eye to the right ear, and the right ear to the left eye. The convergence point is the thinnest part of the skull. You’re going to want to use a small caliber hand gun for this next part. .22 is what most vets recommend. A police service pistol is way too much and will make a huge mess. You’re going to shoot the horse at the center of the x with the gun held very close, but not directly on the horses head. The idea is you cannot miss from this distance, but you also won’t create a pressure problem that causes the gun to misfire. The idea with all of this is its the least likely for mistakes. In an emergency, such as shipping a horse overseas on a plane, a trained attendant will use a higher caliber handgun, such as a .38, and skip the x, instead eyeballing it.

Attendants ride with the horses when shipping overseas. If a horse panics it can imbalance the plane leading to catastrophic failure

They are sedated to oblivion. Its just that like any sedative or anesthetic it can wear off if things get so stressful that the drugs turn out not to be enough.

Cube6392,
@Cube6392@beehaw.org avatar

The horses that ship internationally like this are generally worth $1M+ so its not like this was the solution every settled on as “eh, good enough” and more like, even with all this time and effort, this is still the beat solution we can come up with. Also for what its worth, I don’t know that this measure has ever been taken in my lifetime. The sedatives have always worked in every case I’ve know. Putting down a horse in international shipping for safety is an extreme edge case

The restraunt my friends used to work at did tip pooling. The workers made sure the cooks and the hosts got paid what their work was worth and would work with servers whose sections were underperforming to see what they could do to close the gap. The cook friend I had in that group had dreams of being a chef and opening a restaraunt as a co-op
