So you’re only allowed to have kids if you join. Checks out, I hear they teach sex to new recruits. (in a very surprising way)

EXCLUSIVE: Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes (www.hackingbutlegal.com)

When China’s prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn’t just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens...

flamingo_pinyata,

Why are they going after people who are supportive of them?

flamingo_pinyata,

As in right now? Sitting outside in the city center on a Friday night watching people having fun with friends and trying to feel the same vicariously through them.

Don’t want to appear staring so I’m typing on my phone.

Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas?

Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella...

flamingo_pinyata,

Yes, if I’m too precise for example checking boxes where only a bit of corner is a bicycle, it thinks I’m a bot

And then be arrested in said country because it’s not corrupt enough.

flamingo_pinyata,

Just reminded me to replace the one I have. Bought it at Decathlon, one of their store brands. It has a cap with an opening mechanism which didn’t last for very long - like 4 months of daily use.

flamingo_pinyata,

Hopefully it does fuck itself up. Enough for airlines to abandon algorithmic pricing rather than try to outsmart Google

How to retain my evening optimism?

Sometimes when I stay up late doing something creative I end up getting this very comforting feeling about the future. A sort of certainty that everything will work out in the end and that luck happy coincidences will always be on my side. If I had this sort of confidence throughout the day, I would live a much more pleasant and...

flamingo_pinyata,

google BPD/bipolar. This is one of possible symptoms

flamingo_pinyata,

Wtf?

Sopuli was offline today / Sopuli oli tänään poissa linjoilta

Hello! Sopuli was offline today for several hours. Free disk space was low so it was expanded, but after that several problems popped up. From a technical standpoint, pict-rs (the service for displaying images) had a problem with corrupted snapshot files which has happened occasionally. The problem just got fixed and Sopuli is...

flamingo_pinyata,

Thank you. I was about to ask if there is a way to donate.

Media hosting can get really expensive, as the instance grows we’ll need a lot more.

flamingo_pinyata,

Does the literal translation of cruise missile mean “winged rocket”? Cool etimology 🙂

flamingo_pinyata,

Probably need to list all possible strings of options that nobody understands.

Have you ever been sexually attracted to someone you found repulsive?

It happened to me recently at work. I don’t even find her physically attractive, and her personality is not what I’m into at all. But I was still somehow attracted to her - and she also was to me. She didn’t like me, and I certainly am not the kind of man she goes for. It’s like we had a strong connection in one area...

flamingo_pinyata,

Very often. There are multiple kinds of attraction, esthetic and sexual don’t always overlap 100%. Meaning to say sexual attraction is not just visual - attitude, vibe, voice, smell, etc also play a role.

And none of it means you will get along with them on the personality level.

It’s just life. Part of interacting with other humans.

Don’t get an Nvidia gpu

flamingo_pinyata,

Despite the (valid) criticisms you will see here, you have to start learning somewhere, so an app will have to do. Or some tutorials, there is a bunch on Youtube. Some 5 years ago Codecademy was the trendy app, Exercism as well. I’m out of the loop these days.

The goal is getting an internship (even unpaid) as quickly as possible. Most real skills are not taught on these courses, or anywhere formally.

Aside of that, once you get through the basic level, start reading threads on Hackernews and lobste.rs. You will understand nothing. And that’s good. Try to make sense of it by googling definitions and concepts, that’s how you can learn CS theory outside of a uni.

flamingo_pinyata,

8 hours of nominal work does equal about 3-4 hours of actual focused work. This is completely normal don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Humans need to eat, go to toilet, socialize with their coworkers, relax the brain, move if constantly in the same position.

Btw, meetings are work. If you spend a lot of time in meetings that does count as actual work.

flamingo_pinyata,

Meetings and discussions are work

flamingo_pinyata,

Oh this is Alpine F1 team, not Alpine Linux distro

flamingo_pinyata,

Now we need a response from someone who is both F1 and Linux geek 🙂

Microsoft announces Python formulas in Excel... which have to get sent to the cloud (techcommunity.microsoft.com)

Since its inception, Microsoft Excel has changed how people organize, analyze, and visualize their data, providing a basis for decision-making for the flying billionaires heads up in the clouds who don't give a fuck for life offtheline

flamingo_pinyata,

Because it was so much easier to send data to the cloud than embed a Python interpreter. 🤦

I wouldn’t be surprised if there already is one in the monstrosity that is Excel

flamingo_pinyata,

and that’s why she liked sex when she wasn’t supposed to.

At the risk of shallow psychoanalysis I think we found the root cause. She was taught sex is a bad thing so she constructed an elaborate fantasy world to justify it

flamingo_pinyata,

Side effects are weird. For example antidepressants come with an increased risk of suicide. People start feeling full of energy and enthusiasm to solve their problems…

flamingo_pinyata,

This debates frustrates me to no end. Phrasing is so so bad, with very bad intentions.

Benefits? A slave is not a person, it’s a tool. A tool doesn’t have a possibility of self improvement, it can only be improved by owner so it serves better. Any improvement in the skills of a non-free person are morally irrelevant, because they can’t use them in the way of their choosing.
