I don’t get this part

Nuuk concluded that ordering the containers removed “would not be proportionate,” leaving the government to choose between licensing drilling in an area that may fall under wetlands protection or refusing and risking handing Trump an opening to press his claim harder.

Why would it not be proportionate, given that they lied about having a license?

Since it was a while ago I’ve forgotten, but I think it didn’t interpret the stylesheets correctly. I should probably recheck, because it may have been fixed.

Similarly to Onno, I write everything in markdown first, and convert using pandoc. Then I use weasyprint to take the resulting HTML with CSS applied on it, and generate a PDF from all that.

The result is quite nice, and this system has served me for more thant 15 years. A friend working in HR shared that it does stand out, compared to most submissions.

Here’s a fragment of Makefile to summarize the concept:

docname=2026

all:
	pandoc -t html5 ${docname}.md -o ${docname}.html
	weasyprint -s ${docname}.css ${docname}.html ${docname}.pdf

They dream of reviving McCarthyism

Oh man the BBC is surely already preparing for Adolescence: rise of the robots

Yeah every time I see this chart I think “unless it’s performance critical, realtime, or embedded, why would I use anything else?” It’s very flexible, a joy to use, amazing interactive shell(s). Paren navigation is awesome. The build/tooling is not the best, but it is manageable.

That said, OCaml is nice too.

Reportedly they are already attacking Kherson and elsewhere.

Everyone has their opinions and circumstances, but anecdotally my time with children has been some of the happiest.

With Gitea/Forgejo you can run a local actions executor, which builds the images, pushes to gitea’s image registry, and using a script pulls them on the other side and restarts them. Worked fine in our small startup.

From what I read, the incursion force brought AA, making it hard for Russian air. Moreover, they did strike a few nearby airfields.

Same. Really happy with it.

Consumer drones already exist, that can recognize you by face and follow you.

I started doing exactly this. Write a bunch of functions, that may end up in different systems, on different machines, even. This allows you to define the interfaces, figure out data dependencies, and so on.

The code may be runnable, just printing out some statements. Then I copy blocks of it to the place where it will belong.

It’s more of a thinking tool, than “actual code”.

I have set up forgejo, which is a fork of gitea. It’s a git forge, but its ticketing system is quite good.

I know you asked about VMs, but fwiw there are GPU-capable containers now: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html

Used one of these and the setup is as easy as it sounds. It can run Houdini, Stable Diffusion.

Fair enough, i thought it should be noted. The difference was significant at times.

Same here, SMB was significantly slower in our organization than NFS.

Ditto on the usefulness and commonality of these skills. But we still need firemen, delivery workers. Lots of professions do benefit from this, maybe also sports.

Moving them too much into the “disease” category doesn’t do it service. It’d be better to teach ways to manage it.

Ditto. Pity that a “renaissance” education is not in very high regard nowadays (or I’m not aware). It’s where a lot of innovation happens, too.

Yes, it is. I find navigating s-exps way easier. Also it has some lispy features, and macros.
