Pinned post

I'm trying to improve my Japanese by replying to everyone whose posts I understand with what I hope is both a grammatically correct and coherent reply. If you got one and can read this, please forgive me if they're neither. I don't mean to bother you or anything. My Japanese is just that terrible.

I am a reply guy and I approve this message.

(Seriously, people who are eager to talk and pontificate but not to listen piss me off.)

It shouldn't be surprising we get inhumane tech when we seperate out stem and the humanities

Wrong. My old blog stopped working because browsers decided (from one day to the next) that local CSS (i.e., CSS rules that were only valid on one part of the document) was too hard to maintain. For me, however, it was a great idea, because it meant that I could introduce CSS in a post or a page without having to modify the whole theme.

I may be late to the party (apparently it was republished in 2016), but still a pretty good article if you haven't already read it. One thing it does not address, however, is the question of what triggers that something in people to become nazis. That is where I think the key lies. It is a work of years, to make them feel unwanted, unloved, unappreciated, and then get someone to uplift them. They will become as faithful as dogs, and, in my opinion, once we reach our breaking point, we all have it in us, so let's be careful.

Ver a gente, supuestamente de izquierdas, lamentando la condena en los comentarios me da vergüenza ajena. A ver si nos enteramos: el FGE es del PSOE, eso quiere decir que es de centro derecha en sus (pocos) días buenos: nada que lamentar.

“Es que tiene menos instancias que los demás para apelar. ¡Qué injusticia!” Sois una panda de lamebotas. El señorito tiene menos instancias para apelar porque así lo quiso él y los que son como él. ¿Os acordáis del 15M y sus 3 puntos básicos? Ya sé que no, era una pregunta retórica. El caso es que uno de ellos hablaba, entre otras cosas, de eliminar los aforamientos. ¿Se han eliminado? No, porque el FGE y sus amigos querían ser juzgados por los de su calaña. Así que poneos a cavar, a ver si hay suerte y encontráis vuestra dignidad en alguna parte. Mamarrachos.

If BigTech companies are rewriting GPL-licensed critical, battle-tested infrastructure and rewriting it in MIT-licensed Rust (“Remember, remember the 18th of November”), that means there must be something about the GPL that they don't like, and so we must preserve it at all costs.

One of the reasons I prefer the BSD/MIT license is that the GPL does not remove the profit motive. [0] ... It just hides it. So if the ideal of GP...

A ver, señores: si no nos gusta Google, lo que hay que hacer es no usarlo. “Es que si no, nadie conocerá Mastodon.” En primer lugar, eso no es necesariamente malo, pero además ¿de qué sirve? Si os habéis dado un golpe en la cabeza y queréis que esto se haga popular, contádselo a vuestros amigos (porque tenéis amigos, ¿verdad?), familiares, etc.

La vida real existe y podéis usarla para hacer cosas. No todo es Internet. De hecho, casi nada lo es.

🗣️ “Para mí la nacionalidad española significa no olvidar nunca y defender la humanidad”, dice una de nuestras compatriotas recientes.

Una idea hermosa de España que no cabe en ninguna pulserita.

Every once a while I think about this clip of John James, an early hacker/artist, making paintings with his computer in 1970.

Who was he?

What else has he built?

Where did the paintings go?

Not only was he a child trafficker and an Israeli operative, but also a TOP POSTER.

Jobless growth

Softbank invested 30 out of its planned 40 billion dollar investment in OpenAI in 2025.

$30B invested in regular software startups would've created 30,000 software engineer jobs and at least that many sales, marketing, admin etc. jobs for others.

This is one VC's investment in one AI startup in 2025. I don't know the aggregate statistics but this by itself is staggering.

Si Amazon no da trabajo en sus Centros de Datos, y despide en sus almacenes y oficinas.... ¿Qué hacen nuestros políticos lamiendoles las botas?

P.D. Aunque dieran trabajo, tampoco deberían permitirse estas corporaciones.

Today, let’s remember Dennis M. Ritchie, who was born #OTD in 1941. Ritchie received the 1983 #ACMTuringAward with Ken Thompson, for their development of generic operating systems theory and specifically for the implementation of the UNIX operating system.
