Assuming there is more oil to drill for…

Deja Vous

Here in a red state, when I venture into the real world, I still see Trump flags everywhere. Much more so than I recall in 2016. They definitely have upped their merchandise game. On the other hand I see many more Harris/Walz signs than I ever saw in support of Clinton. When I talk to people I get much more passion about Harris than I ever heard about Clinton or Biden. It is more akin to Obama’s first term, if not even more intense. This time around Trump is vehemently disliked. During Trump’s first campaign he was a disruptor and there was a lot of curiosity about what that meant. That has been replaced with fear and hatred. My few remaining social media friends who support Trump seem to do so from a religious point of view. Somehow they see him as more godly.

Toxic jobs really take a toll on your health, especially if you feel trapped in them. Looking for a new job is really a full time job on itself, it can be hard to do so while already working a full time job. If you feel your job is toxic you should start looking for something new right away - whether you’ve given notice or not. I’ve ended up in the hospital twice from the toll toxic jobs that I felt trapped in took on me. Another thing you can consider is diversifying your income. Ie, a “side hustle”. If you have more than one income stream you won’t be quite as trapped. You also will have something to help buffer the transition between your real jobs.

Isn’t he also an immigrant?

Are we at maximal oil, gas, and coal production? If so, then eliminating renewables will just cause shortages. Which will drive up short term profits for those industries but wreak havoc on the rest of the economy.

Good point. I think knowing where to draw that line comes with experience (and having to fix lots of other people’s code).

I would have liked some comments explaining the rules we are trying to enforce or a link to the product requirements for it. Changing the rules requirements is the most likely reason this code will ever be looked at again. The easier you can make it for someone to change them the better. Another reason to need to touch the code is if the user model changes. I suppose we might also want a different password hash or to store the password separately even a different outcome if the validation fails. Or maybe have different ruled for different user types. When building a function like this I think less about “ideals” and more about why someone might need to change what I just did and how can I make it easier for them.

White. Male. And Yale. These bros have never actually worked for a living. They don’t really know anything about tech. They just jumped into that market to grift because they were born rich and that is what they do. In years past they’d have been trading tea, or loaning money to poor farmers then taking their land

I often use imagemagick (cli) for cropping, rotating, resizing, etc.

This only impacts poor people because the more affluent simply leave the state to get care.

He’s feeding the echo chamber with hopes it will drive his supporters to a voting frenzy. If he can’t get them to the polls, he will lose. His goal now is only to stir and agitate and excite his base.

There are some monitoring tools which take a snapshot of the process table every few minutes. If you happen to run one of those, and your process happens to be running when the snapshots is taken you can catch it.

If this is a postgresql server and you have logging turned up with pids being logged, and the pin in question was a database process, you can probably find it in the database logs.

Gen AI is like super-autocorrector.

I bet if you cut it vertically the lights will go out.

IGS has a whole “community solar” line of business.

Nothing about OpenAI is open-source. The name is a misdirection.

If you use my IP without my permission and profit it from it, then that is IP theft, whether or not you republish a plagiarized version.

Most people’s body will change as they age. I haven’t met many who don’t age or never get injured or both. Selecting a partner primarily based on their current appearance means you are using criteria suitable only for short term relationships.

Genetic engineering that let’s people see in the dark.

In Ohio it is Republicans all the way down.
