Here's one way to understand what has happened to the public university in the last 5 years:

My bookmarks used to look like this: library.ucla.edu, it.ucla.edu, hr.ucla.edu, etc.

Now they all look like this: ucla.zoom.com, ucla.app.box.com, ucla.healthnet.com, ucla.salesforce.com etc.

@Sultry @graf The same thing's happening with cars. They don't need to secure your obedience when they can just continuously legislate manufacturers into doing their bidding anyways.

This is something that gets me really upset that I rarely hear people talking about. New units won't be constructed, and the supply of replacement parts will winnow out eventually. And then the only people that can have these things are those that can fabricate them from scratch themselves.

They're doing it to gasoline and diesel cars as we speak. They want everyone to have those useless electrics so that they can't have an army of angry ruralists packed into pickups overwhelm all the guard bases in an evening. And if that doesn't happen in the next 12 years, it's never going to.

Posting this because it can save some lives. If you use an empty list or dictionary as a default argument in #python, the same list will be used every time. So every call will just update the mutable element instead of re-defining it as empty 😱

Most IDEs will give you a vague warning (PyCharm does) but nothing more so it can be very sneaky and dangerous!

@feld the fact that BBC does not disavow any association with big black cock leads me to believe that they're okay with the association.

Any cool alternatives to the 5-way switch out there that I might not be familiar with?

I am aware of the blackberry optical trackpads, and hall effect-based trackballs.

Ein lebendes System kann nicht »klimaneutral« sein. Das ist völlig denkunmöglich. Keine Pflanze und kein Tier ist »klimaneutral«.

Und für einen ganz Schlauen: Wenn man von Holz redet, ist der Baum tot. Wenn ich Holz verbrenne und CO2 freisetze, kann es nur soviel sein, wie der Baum vorher selbst der Luft/Umgebung entnahm.

Der Unterschied zwischen der sonstigen Natur und dem Menschen liegt darin, dass nur der Mensch Verbraucher ist, weil er unverwertbaren Müll produziert. Das ist in der Natur nicht vorgesehen. Das ist das eigentliche Problem von Knappheit und Umweltzerstörung.
Niemand kann mehr Kohlenstoffverbindungen abgeben, als er vorher der Natur entnommen hat.

Die menschliche profitorientierte Produktionsweise und seine Art, alles auszubeuten, darüber sollte man endlich und grundsätzlich reden.
