Hand wringing about "placing people in buckets" is one the last things we need to worry about when it comes to dealing with racism and it's effect on victims of racism. Like, "now we are colourblind, hooray! racism is fi

Fossil fuel mining has had the same effects, e.g. Shell's shenanigans in Nigeria, Angola's general malaise, the mishmash of autocratic monarchies in the ME, their effects on air quality everywhere, … yet somehow they get a pass an

All my life I have used Excel, OO Calc (now LO), and Google Sheets interchangeably and I have found experience in one carries across both the others pretty seamlessly. I actually think of them as just one thing. Formulas are pretty much the

The map in the article may be a bit out of date. For instance, the north-wise road from Nairobi through Isiolo in the center to Moyale (on the Kenya-Ethiopia border in the North) is marked as unpaved, but construction on it has been complet

I haven't written any Ruby. Maybe one gets used to this after some time, but this honestly looks like it will enable you to write extremely clever and succinct code that makes perfect sense at the time, but a chore for anyone else to r
