My grandparents decided to learn Welsh when they were 65. After two years of lessons in it (and talking Welsh with me at home, I was going to a Welsh school and was already fluent), they were fluent. My grandmother, around the same time, decided to overcome her phobia of water and had me teach her how to swim. She'd swim laps with me in the pool up into her 80s.

You're not too old and it's not too late to try something new.

@ArtistMarciaX @denikombucha @ansugeisler I would tip/pay someone who published a info-graphic covering current colonial cash flows

Tip: Create an empty 10GB file on a #linux partition like this:
`fallocate -l 10G /ballast`
Then, if your #disk fills up, you can "eject the ballast" (with `truncate -s 0 /ballast`), immediately freeing up 10GB of space, and hopefully fix your disk full issue.

(If #PostgreSQL fills up your disk, it'll stop, and you can't free up space until postgres is running...)

Yes, the US is running concentration camps at the border https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a27813648/concentration-camps-southern-border-migrant-detention-facilities-trump/?fbclid=IwAR0FbsrgsQjOVRZucyiMQLcXHBS90il2Qq8XBLo3oeMmNRNF_7M4P6TNjfA

Not subtooting anyone! Just realizations.

One of the things that's hurt me and made me resentful in my transition is, I wanted an experience that some trans girls report, of shedding a false skin and becoming a more beautiful self. Allowing a more exciting, magical me to be finally born.

It angers me that, socially, trans guys are denied this narrative most of the time. In subtle and also pointed ways.

The skin we "rip off" is already that of a girl, so we begin in a place of feeling guilted (overtly!) for "destroying beauty". Whether we're guilted from a sexist place of "but you're so pretty!" or a feminist place of "why wouldn't you want to be a girl, girls are so great!", it still can be like a harpoon in a trans guy's heart.

Has anyone here tried to use nom (#rust parser combinators lib) with webasm?
I wonder if it is worth it

"We've moved beyond the idea that women wearing pants is a problem. Women wearing pants is powerful, it's strong, everybody accepts it, and it's associated with the patriarchy, it's associated with being male. The minute a man puts on a dress it's disgusting, so what are you saying? Men are strong, women are disgusting? I'm not doing that anymore. I'm done with that. I'm a man in a dress and if I feel like wearing a dress I'm gonna wear one." - Billy Porter

The enchanter summoned four warriors; a tiger, a leopard, a puma and... a skinny black house-cat, with a white mitten.

The enchanter scoffed, unimpressed. Well, three warriors would suffice, surely, they thought, shooing away the diminutive feline.

The enchanter jabbed a commanding finger towards the dark cave and the bigger cats stalked confidently, obediently, forward.

After all, what was more powerful than they three..?

No, this isn't Photoshop. This is the Arctic right now.

Sea ice levels over great swathes of the Arctic ocean are at historic lows (in the 40-year-long satellite record) for this time of year.

Design student creates a high-tech adjustable binder for trans people, which is apparently safer and easier to use than existing binding methods.

33, but yes this is accurate

I compared the benchmark numbers for my multithreaded PNG encoder on my upgraded 2009 workstation (8 cores / 16 threads, 2.26GHz Xeon E5520) and this 2018 arm64 laptop (8 cores, 2.96 GHz Snapdragon 850) and they're neck and neck. :D

Sure, the laptop throttles down after a few seconds of sustained CPU usage, but it's a fanless light laptop, not a big ol' mid-tower case.

Tech advancement isn't just about how powerful a CPU we can make, but where we can put them at lower mfg & power cost.

okay so like seriously
if you know friends who want to write code who *haven't* been marinating in it?

stop trying to suggest they write stuff from scratch.

explain how to fetch source code for things, and keep it updated, and make changes, and compile

give them ideas like "make all the monsters in this game pink!"

the actual code is the easy part. teach them to work with using it, and learning to find where to put it.

You all know about Chinese Cooking Demystified, right? Check this video out: https://youtu.be/AujuLHK3hvs

Western cook books have a tendency to not only subsume all ingredient combinations under the rubric of French cooking, but also translate all regional cooking techniques into French ones. But there is no French equivalent to a proper stir fry technique, or a masala, or a Thai fried curry paste.

Videos like this demonstrate how important regional techniques are.
