Had to open excel for the first time in over a year today and it immediately froze on a single worksheet workbook with ~200 rows and 6 columns 🤦‍♀️

IT KNOWS…. (How much I hate excel)

Yowza, that went 0-100 real quick. You know, if I was being deliberately obtuse to the thesis of your video, I would say that the end scenario could again evolve. The cars could be coalesced into bigger longer cars for efficiency and savings on battery, air resistance and electronics. They could run on pre defined schedules based on known demand patterns. You could even replace the rubber tires and the asphalt with steel tires and tracks for better efficiency.

@ma_ui @sergiodomeyko @palin @Strandjunker I don't think that's the case. A lot of those dictatorships were installed by the US or other meddling. Look at Zapatistas in Mexico or the long democratic traditions in many latam countries. Where the tradition hasn't been broken, there's no more authoritarian leaders than in the "west" in my opinion.

@codinghorror @marcoarment Does “performative radicalism” include fighting to save the lives of another couple hundred thousand Palestinians? Or are you going to spend the entirety of the next 2 months trying to get Biden to implement an arms embargo now that your acquiescence to Democrats sociopathy has no value? Or was everything you said then and now all bullshit? Why, exactly, do you think you have any grounds to provide advice?

@tante it never did, though not just for that reason

“Social media friends aren’t real friends.”

BS. There are souls I’ve met on social media that have shared themselves openly and honestly, who have been genuine in their interaction, as much as anyone I’ve met in “real life.”

I feel like half of programming is remembering how weird stuff works and the other half is setting things up so that you do not have to remember the weird stuff

I think it's an actual conspiracy that American media outlets coverage of politics focuses on pointless, spicy exchanges between political figures, rather than focusing on actual policy issues such as basic income, Gaza, or the climate.

Most of the popular media is owned by politically motivated individuals. They ensure coverage is distracting from the ultimate issue of wealth distribution.

"orange man bad" is a little circus performance to divert energy from actual change we desperately need.

Shout out to my 2nd year students writing tail recursive JavaScript because nobody told them they couldn't.

@plexus people don’t recognize the value of organizing. I see it in the smallest things like organizing game nights for friends. Let alone dependencies, time tables, or budgets. 🫣

There was that time we ran out of kings and had to use the Scottish one. And also that time slightly before when we had a little war with Scotland (which we blame on the French, because that's basically what France is for).
