still an important question

sometimes you hear people say that when we have "figured out everything about physics", then we'd have figured out everything about the world, as the world is guided by physical principles.

Even if they had a complete model of all of physics, it still wouldn't answer all questions, as a lot of important data is just random. Whether nature decided to go with D-molecule or L-molecule is essentially random.

Where are the videos from the Iranian perspective?

Why are we giving Israel a stage, but not Iran?

I'm worried about vendor lock-in. Once GNOME has migrated everything to AWS, Amazon might start being a dumbfuck and abusing their "clients", as they abuse a lot of other organizations as well.

I can't think of any specific threats from this, but knowing Amazon, they put more effort into coming up with vile shit that i could even think of.

It's not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.

The alternative, btw, would be to fry everything in butter or some plant oil, i believe. That's what they're opposing.

Instead of even trying to chase jobs that seem out of reach, Gen Z is embracing living like a rat—not showering or leaving the house for days at a time.

The millennial era of “work hard, play harder” and “girl bossing” has given way to a new trend. In China, at least, Gen Zers are proudly calling themselves “rat people”—they’re spending entire days procrastinating in bed, scrolling on their phones, snoozing and ordering take out.

I think it has something to do with "giving up" on the economy: if you have very low chances of landing a job anyways, why even try?

The article does not directly tell us how many people participate in this movement consciously. It does hint, however:

Today, over 4 million American Gen Zers remain jobless. In China, the government has said that as of February, 1 in 6 young people are unemployed.

step 1: send your men to a pointless war
step 2: potential mothers realize their sons would only be meat in the meat grinder
step 3: nobody wants to have children anymore
step 4: be confused??

Consumerism (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm saying this because lots of people ask "who will buy your products when the people are poor?" to the companies,

but the companies don't actually care whether you buy their products. As long as they have extracted enough out of you that they already own everything, further profits are not a priority.

I'm saying this in the context of people getting poorer and poorer and the current cost-of-living crisis, where companies don't pay a living wage anymore and people ask "who will buy your products when we can't afford to?". It was never about revenue, it was always about ending up owning everything.

What i mean with the title is: Mothers often feel as if they can't be successful themselves, due to their role as a mother. So, they try to make their child(ren) "successful" in their place. What that entails is a strict, hierarchical upbringing and a lot of "discipline" for the child(ren). As a direct consequence, the child(ren) have significantly reduced Quality Of Life, to the point of many committing suicide, and as such they are definitely a thing that can end lifes, or personal worlds (for the children). As such, they are clearly one of the "horsemen of the apocalypse".

zip is better than tar.gz for some applications though.

notably, individual files can be read from a zip archive without unpacking the whole archive, different than tar.gz files.

tar.gz files are only better if you pack and unpack the whole archive at once, but even then, they don't have much advantage. the major advantage is that you can pipe the output of tar creation over the network to another computer who decompresses the tar immediately, thus transferring a folder. zip has index at beginning/start, so it requires seek when writing or skip when reading, so it can't be streamed.

isn't this also, like, a tweet about queer people?

applies to words as well

Honestly the problem I see here is not the layoff, which was disguised as a "lack of performance". Yes, it wasn't done perfectly, but still, it's no tragedy.

What is definitely the problem here is the absolute lack of a social security system in the US. That should be implemented.
