Minetest was the vehicle through which I first introduced my youngest son to programming around 7-8 years ago (iirc). The way his eyes lit up when he wrote some code to change the game and then played it was just magic. He still—as a freshm

This is at least the billionth time it’s been pointed out, but the GDPR is not responsible for those annoying pop-ups. The GDPR is erroneously blamed for them, when in reality, the pop-ups are a deliberate choice made by site operators. F

While this may very well be covered, I think the general problem in meatspace is that there was no advance notice given to exercise the option to place the proper robots.txt directives to opt out of having one’s artwork collected for model

Because “less work” means less money—and we haven’t built a society in which people can access all the food and utilities produced without it.

Huge fan of the Ergo. I pair mine with the keyboard in the same family, both of which allow you to connect to and switch between multiple computers. It’s just perfect.

That fairly insidious strain of authoritarianism isn’t infecting progressives alone, sadly. Nor is it infecting progressives more. The “all problems will be solved if all my political policies are implemented” argument appears to be the sta

I believe you may have misread. They weren’t calling any specific group of humans a rot in our system. They said they believe a specific and overly powerful voting bloc perpetuates every corporate, oligarchic, xenophobic greed cycle one

Indeed. The historically proven and repeated best method to kill any moment of social and political consciousness that unites multiple segments of society across race, class, and gender lines is to turn everyone’s attention to a new divisiv

Just curious here—what sort of things were on your list that you couldn’t find? If there were better templates, what kind of trips would you expect to be able to plan?

Absolutely, if the locations are a good personal fit. Looking into that right now as a recent empty-nester. Weekly hopping is too frequent for me, however, and a month feels barely long enough. I’ve been looking at 90-day minimum stays, wit

Can’t recall where I’ve heard it, but that lag is almost always artificial—meant to convince the user that time was spent finding a good deal.

Hats off to your prof. This is such a brilliant idea for how to teach, anchored in a solid reflection of what “doing the job” is like day-to-day outside the academic context.
