Yes, but the political blowback from both parties would likely not be worth it. Especially because Republicans would immediately add double the amount Biden would, and it would very likely quickly grow into full bore shenanigans.

I guess not. I thought that I remembered an old AP article online about this from the 1980s about a police raid at a farm compound somewhere in Alabama. However, I cannot find the original source for this claim anywhere! So either all evidence of this event has been scrubbed from the internet, or I have misremembered the event. I consider one of these more likely than the other.

From what I remember of the story, this family had basically just kept their slaves hidden away on their small plantation during reconstruction, then just kept them hidden away from the rest of society by not allowing them to leave the compound. Someone finally escaped during the 1980s, was discovered, and eventually taken into police custody. This eventually led to the raid on the compound and the AP article that I remember.

I remember doing a lot of research into neoslavery right around when this video from Knowing Better and this video from All Gas No Brakes came out. Both videos talked a lot about slavery after the Civil War (The AGNB video was more indirect, but an interviewee in the video name-dropped a lot of stuff that I was ignorant about), which is what piqued my interest. I guess that I must be conflating a couple of different events despite my vivid memory of the article. If anyone else remembers reading the article, or the event occurring (because again, 1980-something is not that long ago), please let me know!

Friendly reminder that chattel slavery didn't end in the United States until almost ww2, and ~~some places still illegally enslaved black families continously since the civil war up until the 1980s~~. (EDIT: I thought that I remembered an old AP article online about this from the 1980s about a police raid at a farm compound somewhere in Alabama. However, I cannot find the original source for this claim, so I am retracting it.

Then obviously prison slave labor is still an ongoing issue.

In regards to the known bug with the mouse, you can press "e" on the keyboard to shoot.

Reasonable minds feel free to disagree, but I've got to admit that I'm shocked to see the lemmy community rally around the defense of Ray Croc of all people.

And Ray Croc didn't invent McDonald's, but poured the foundation that McDonald's is built on. I place Musk in a similar, although not entirely the same, category.

"We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. This is just one of those other things." - My dad quoting JFK at me to get me to do the dishes as a teenager. I don't think he would remember even saying that to me, but has always stuck with me. Something said about something so monumental being applied to something so benign. But that wasn't the point, because it was hard for me.

A mechanical metronome will help with a visual indicator, but this smells like a classic XY problem to me. Your issue isn't that you need a visually distinctive metronome, it's that you are rushing the beat and need to break that habit.

Sadly, a metronome can only get you halfway in that endeavor. The real fix will be to practice with other musicians who can call you out on it in real-time. It is embarrassing, it is time-consuming, and it isn't fun, but it WILL break you of the habit and force you to play better. And make sure they call you out on it immediately. As in you do not get to continue the song once it is noticed, and you must start over like dying in a video game.

Teaching also involves stating an idea - which the author forgot to actually do. If it is your article that I am criticizing, I'm sorry for being crass, but make no mistake, the writing is half-assed. An article whose primary piece of advice is to "focus on the datatypes", shouldn't avoid the word "datatype" until the 2nd to last header.

Truthfully, the article would be better served by removing the first and 2nd to last section and instead be titled "Why I dislike working with monads in languages that support monads."

Holy cow! What an absolute slog of a read. I'm not an AI model, but I'll do my best to summarize that link:

[When writing code that works with non-trivial and null-able data types,] use a data structure that makes illegal states unrepresentable. Model your data using the most precise data structure you reasonably can[, ...] as quickly as you can. [W]rite functions on the data representation you wish you had, not the data representation you are given. The design process then becomes an exercise in bridging the gap.

There. Hopefully someone out there learned something cool without having to read a 25-minute striptease before the author rushes through their main idea in the span of two bullet points found in the final 25% of the article.

That word would probably be either "skeuomorph" or "vestigial"

Not really, once Reddit closed off their API to all but the absolute highest of bidders, it broke a lot of functionality of a lot of smaller apps like this. You might still be able to find something to spruce up the CSS client side somewhere, but a lot of devs abandoned the ecosystem once Reddit, the company, made it clear in no uncertain terms that community support and 3rd party partnerships were unwelcome.
