Jesus, that's a lot of negatives, give me a second.

So, the ED dept wanted to force colleges to get rid of race-based curriculum, financial aid and student services. But then a federal court blocked them from doing that. So they appealed the block. But now they're giving up on their appeal.

Okay, whew, sorry just had to work through that.

We would be a failed nation if we continue to betray the very people who put food on the table for us.

Lol, so are they also protesting the actions of ICE? Oh, they're not? Hmmm, weird....

All Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, including Starlinks, are in orbits that naturally degrade due to atmospheric drag. They require regular boosts to stay in orbit and will naturally de-orbit and burn up in the atmosphere at end-of-life. Look I hate corps and Musk as much as all of us, but let's at least get the facts right.

Haven't they done enough data collection yet where they just know who hates all this crap? It's not the way it should be, but I can't say I'd be mad if they just flagged any operating system I installed and said "this guy just wants a local user with no cloud service ads in his face all the time"

My younger cousin was in his first year of college, and he told me he wanted to make video games. I told him about how hard the industry is on developers, and encouraged him to look into other careers. He eventually changed his mind and picked something else (something programming related, I forget what exactly).

He's a really bright and creative guy, and we'll never know what awesome game he could have helped make, if I hadn't talked him out of it. So it can be hard to see what we're missing sometimes.

Did the title of the article change? Because currently it is "International Space Station astronauts resume normal duties after evacuation order"

God, I hate people who do that. There's something fundamentally wrong with them.

I've read so many headlines about a doctor that start with "Doctor Who..." that this time I was like "okay, haha, it sounds like the TV show, but let's see what some nutty doctor did this time..." and ended up getting double-bamboozled.

I wonder if reaching through a portal and, say, holding your hands would feel more like holding two strangers hands. I mean, you're still completely aware it's your own two hands touching, and you can feel any movement mirrored in both of them, but your brain would be expecting your two arms to be coming together, and the fact that they were spread apart...I wonder how that would affect the subjective experience.

I'm trying out using Claude on a problem at work that has been frustrating; lots of unexpected edge cases that require big changes.

I definitely know less about my "solution" (it's not done yet, but it's getting close) than if I actually sat down and did it all myself. And it's taken a lot lot of back and forth to get to where I am.

It'd probably have gone better if, once Claude provided me a result, I went through it completely and made sure I understood every aspect of it, but man when it just spits out a full script, the urge to just run it and see if it works is strong. And if it's close but not quite right, then the feeling is "well, let me just ask about this one part while I'm already here" and then you get a new complete script to try. And that loop continues, and I never get around to really going through and fully understanding the code.

Even less effort than what? They just released a superman movie that didn't have anything to do with previous superman movies. Isn't that the easiest way to do a reboot? How is shoehorning in a multiverse easier?

Oh snap, hypnospace outlaw. It's not in my top 5 or 10 games, personally, but I did really enjoy it. Glad to find another person who played it 😄
