“I need some more [input] sanitizer for my eczema script, the console is red and inflamed whenever I check it.”

Is fail2ban still maintained in the time of the fish & the mage?

Some choice excerpts:

Problems arose immediately for the A-TEAM nationwide. In California’s Salinas Valley, 200 teenagers from New Mexico, Kansas and Wyoming quit after just two weeks on the job. “We worked three days and all of us are broke,” the Associated Press quoted one teen as saying. Students elsewhere staged strikes. At the end, the A-TEAM was considered a giant failure and was never tried again.

“These [high school students] had the words and whiteness to say what they were feeling and could act out in a way that Mexican-Americans who had been living this way for decades simply didn’t have the power or space for the American public to listen to them,” [Stony Brook University history professor Lori A. Flores] says. “The students dropped out because the conditions were so atrocious, and the growers weren’t able to mask that up.”

She says the A-TEAM “reveals a very important reality: It’s not about work ethic [for undocumented workers]. It’s about [the fact] that this labor is not meant to be done under such bad conditions and bad wages.”

And what one dude who went through the program as a 17 year old has to say about it now:

But he says the experience also taught them empathy toward immigrant workers that Carter says the rest of the country should learn, especially during these times.

“There’s nothing you can say to us that [migrant laborers] are rapists or they’re lazy,” he says. "We know the work they do. And they do it all their lives, not just one summer for a couple of months. And they raise their families on it. Anyone ever talks bad on them, I always think, ‘Keep talking, buddy, because I know what the real deal is.’ "

My reading is that it failed because there was no political will to actually provide for local-born farmers any more than immigrants. And as such, it was doomed to fail from the start.

Call me naive, but it seems to me that if everyone was pitching in for a season of farm work, less people overall would be doing 8/15/etc consecutive years and getting their bodies destroyed.

…is that a Code Lyoko reference?!

the police say they are targeting the criminals responsible but cannot “arrest their way out of the problem”. They also say manufacturers and tech firms have a bigger role to play.

Even though I fully expect the police here aren’t doing as much as they could (I mean come on, are they expecting phones to come with wiimote hand straps?) , I’m at least glad their public rhetoric is that they can’t “arrest their way out of the problem”.

I imagine that’s poor compensation when you’ve just had your phone snatched, however.

The audacity to tout classism and ableism as reasons as to why people should “get to” use LLMs for their “write a novel in a month” challenge…

Even when someone’s inability to write a novel in a month is because of their class or disability, I somehow doubt they want to let a machine write their novel for them. I mean, it’s not like NaNoWriMo is a way to put food on the table or something, right?!!

This feels like the arguments Mid journey fellators fanboys were spouting a year ago (or has it been two?) on how not everyone can afford a school of fine arts 🙄

Their starting aside is pretty great as well;

And I’m using that term throughout this post because it’s the commonly accepted descriptor, but we all know it’s not really artificial intelligence, right? I also want to distinguish it from actually-useful and ethically-produced technology like what gets used in the medical field to help humans examine and analyze impossibly huge datasets in the service of doing things like curing cancer. We’re talking here about the plagiarism machines like ChatGPT, everything it underpins, and all of its conceptual mirrors.

Leave no wiggle room for the AI sycophants.

As we have seen in months past when Linux takes a sizable dip, it’s correlated to a rise in the Simplified Chinese use. In August the Simplified Chinese use further grew and helping out Windows at the cost to the Linux percentage.

So, the solution is clear: get all Simplified Chinese users to switch from Windows to Linux :D

Après ~6h de jeu, je fais le constat : ca fonctionne plutôt bien !

J’ai pu faire une partie en quick match sans soucis. J’ai aussi pu faire plusieurs parties custom avec un pote via le système d’invitations. Le seul soucis avec celles-ci, c’est qu’apres la partie terminée je n’arrive pas a rejoindre une nouvelle partie via invitation sans redémarrer le jeu. Il met a peine une dizaine de secondes a se lancer sur ma machine, donc c’est loin d’être bloquant pour y prendre mon plaisir !

précisions : je suis sous Arch Linux et j’ai suivi a la lettre les instructions dans le lien de ce poste, inclus la partie “pour jouer en multi”

Je suis agréablement surpris par la qualité de cette video !

Traînant dans le game dev moi-meme depuis quelques années, je n’ai rien a rajouter sur le sujet de l’IA, et ma seule critique de la video serait sur un des tout derniers propos. Si la lutte est souvent requise pour prendre du plaisir en la réussite, il faut quand meme avoir l’impression qu’un jour on réussira pour continuer a lutter (dans le cadre du jeu video comme passe-temps ludique).

We also added the ability to pin the resource patch, and the count of remaining ore will update as the patch is mined. You can use this to keep an eye on how things are going, and be aware when a patch is running dry.

Yet another great mod transcending its mod status to be assimilated into the base game!

1950

Given they were still serving wine in school cafeterias until 1956 (and in highschool until 1981) I’m not surprised this man was not prepared for the taste of Coca-Cola ™ !

Having just watched the lecture, the only classified info I can recognize is the capabilities of 80s era satellites.

Given that, I think it’s quite a shame that the whole thing is only now available. Rear Admiral Hopper seems to have been someone who deeply understood both computers and people. The prescriptions she gives regarding “systems of computers” and “management” vs “leadership”, to name just two, are spot-on. Her lecture is quite grounded in what I’d call “military thinking”, but that’s just because she’s in a room filled with people who are of that life. In my opinion, everything she talks about is applicable to communities and businesses.

The general gist of the entire ~90mins reminds me of Project Cybersyn in its perspective on how computers could serve society.

The idea is neat, and there is a certain precedent for the approach in .htaccess files and webserver path permissions.

Still, I worry about the added burden to keeping track of filenames when they get used as stringed keys in such a manner. More plainly: if I rename a file, I now have to go change every access declaration that mentions it. Sure, a quick grep will probably do the trick. But I don’t see a way to have tooling automate any part of it, either.

Que changerai-tu dans les paroles de la Marseillaise?

Even a blank name can work for some; https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ is a fun read if you’ve never encountered it before.

The second season of Iron Blooded Orphans is a good follow-up to the first, and certainly contains the themes you’re looking for.

Sympa, mais ça passe un peu vite sur pourquoi les gens sont généralement “de gauche” sur masto. L’article prétend que c’est surtout par anti capitalism, alors que pour moi c’est surtout que les instances qui ne sont pas de gauche se font défédérer car elles se savent pas “se tenir” (au sens ne pas être horrible envers les gens).
