Who would have guessed that she's corrupt? Strange that she's acting just like her right wing anti-Constitution bosses on the Supreme Court. I wonder how that kind of corruption trickles down.

The right has been trying to destroy schools since they were founded hundreds of years ago. Secular, public education is an anathema to the racist and religious indoctrination required to maintain right wing communities.

This is very much a two birds, one stone moment for their agenda.

This voting season has a very different feel from 2020. I've been trying to understand what's up.

Because there's not the same kind of public displays of right wing movements, I feel that it seems like a safer situation on a large scale. The tradeoff is that the right wing nutjobs don't have the same public visible groups to join and yell about life with. They're likely going to be much more likely to lash out through terroristic acts and to be more individually violent.

So, while there's not nearly the same quantity of truck convoys of deplorables driving around waving flags, that same energy is going to be distilled into a more potent sludge of evil under the surface.

Your perspective might be why I enjoy microcontroller work. I love getting to know everything about the system, reading hardware documentation, and getting the low level parts to work in a highly deterministic way.

I use ATTiny85 cores when a ESP32 costs almost the same, but the 85 only has 256 bytes of SRAM and five I/O pins so I can track it all and ensure it will do exactly what I want.

The same meme with "wiring and lights" at the top. Then you descend to motors, transformers delta-y phases, RC and RL circuits, op amps, BJT circuits, reverse bias what?, differential equations, and eventually signals and systems.

The summary that I liked from the last post was "python is the second best language for everything". There's always something specialized and better for every given job. But, if you want one tool that'll do a solid job everywhere, python is your go to.

Plus the estimated million+ who smartly fled Russia in the first year of the war.

  • Women get educated
  • Women get their own money
  • Women get control over reproductive rights and tools

So much of our world is based around women keeping it on the rails without receiving credit for their efforts.

If the government financial trams aren't already investigating it, then they're stupid. This is shooting fish in a barrel for financial crimes.

We're entering the 'blockchain for every need' stage. Expect massive money to flow into scams, poor ideas, and outright dangerous uses for a few years .

Before Blockchain we had 'the web' itself in the dot com era. Before that? I saw it in basic computing as a solution to everything.

I had a student came into office hours asking why their program got a bad grade. I looked and it didn't actually do anything related to the assignment.

Upon further query, they objected saying that the CI pipeline built it just fine.

So ..yeah... You can write a program that builds and runs, but doesn't do the required tasks, which makes it wrong. This was not a concept they'd figured out yet.
