The pearl-clutching is so hypocritical.

After all, history shows us the RNC would not flinch if she'd said, "You have to grab that door by the p*ssy."

Imagine opening the facebook app and being greeted by #facebook ‘s ‘memory’, only to realise that this post, which clearly no one has looked at for 15 years, has a glaring typo.

I would’ve remained blissfully unaware of this, but now?! What do I do?! What an embarrassing typo to be haunted by 15 full years after the fact! I will never be able to let that go!

Why did you have to show this to me, facebook?! Why?!

had a "oh, now I understand moment" when I moved to the German speaking part of Switzerland. Back in the Netherlands you were used to the nice understandable grouping of ctrl-x, ctrl-c and ctrl-v for copy/pasting. Working with SAP there is also ctrl-y as part of copying from SAPGUI. Only in Switzerland it hit me why a Germany company came up with ctrl-y.

@spiezmaestro keyboard layouts are a funny thing, aren’t they?

I’m just glad I don’t have to work with a French keyboard. I had to use one once to type out an email, and boy was it painful…

When I heard that there was going to be a book about software engineering and data science by Catherine Nelson, I was excited! I think it's a perfect combination, and as data scientists we can learn so much from software engineers about how to build reliable and good products.

Software Engineering for Data Scientists

Data science happens in code. The ability to write reproducible, robust, scaleable code is key to a data science project's success—and is absolutely essential for those working with production code.

Musk risks political fallout by endorsing Trump. Few CEOs are following.

Beyond Elon Musk, no other Fortune 100 chief executives have donated to Donald Trump's reelection campaign. Reputational and business risk may outweigh any benefits of backing a candidate.

В 806 моделях материнских плат выявлен тестовый ключ, позволяющий обойти UEFI Secure Boot

Исследователи безопасности из компании Binarly выявили возможность обхода режима верифицированной загрузки UEFI Secure Boot на более чем 800 моделях материнских плат, выпущенных компаниями Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, Gigabyte, HP, Intel, Lenovo и Supermicro. Проблема получила кодовое имя PKfail и связана с использованием в прошивках не заслуживающего доверия ключа платформы (PK, Platform Key), сгенерированного компанией AMI (American Megatrends International) и поставляемого в качестве тестового примера. Наиболее старые прошивки, в которых использовался тестовый ключ, выпущены в 2012 году, а самые новые датированы июнем 2024 года. По данным исследователей проблеме подвержены более 10% всех проверенных прошивок.

Why is Danielle Smith making evacuees traumatized by the Jasper wildfire wait for seven days for any financial assistance? Has she offered any towns and cities (including in BC) any funding to support the evacuees?

Also, what tears? Didn't see any tissues.

"Treating parenthood as some special qualification for civic responsibility is nationalists’ way of compensating for the right’s Trumpian drift away from wholesomeness. True to form, instead of simply celebrating the virtues of having children, their critique is framed mainly as a reason to distrust and delegitimize their political enemies. "

The right-leaning media (which is most of it) is repeating the GOP's attacks on Kamala Harris as being a DEI Vice-President. So what does it mean?

When you hear it, or when people ask you "Well isn't she a ...", remember that what it means is this:

They can't actually criticize anything about her record or performance, so they're going after her for not being white and male because that is what energizes their hate-filled base.
That is what it means. And they're beating this drum because Trump is afraid of her. He knows she can beat him.

@energisch_

Ja ich fühl mich hier auch recht wohl.

Drüben hatte ich zwar auch meine kleine Community & das war spannend und z.T. echt hilfreich .. aber mensch war Fremden gegenüber wirklich immer sehr feindlich als Grundposition eingestellt.

Hier hör ich mir erst mal alles an, schlaf ggf. ne Nacht drüber, und siehe da, so einige Konflikte stellen sich oft einfach nur als Missverständnisse raus.

Das hat der Eugen gut konzipiert & wir füllen es gut.

Klar gibs auch A-Löcher. Aber sehr wenige.

@energisch_ True. Ich hab auf Xitter fünf Mal so viele Follower wie hier, aber null Interaktion. Keine Replies, keine interessanten Gespräche, keine Retweets, keine Likes. Schlicht und ergreifend kein Feedback, das darauf hindeutet, dass überhaupt wer irgendeinen Post liest, außer diese komische Impression-Zahl. Und wenn doch mal eine Reaktion kommt, ist es fast immer ein persönlicher Angriff. Daher hab ich mich hier her verkrümelt, ist so viel angenehmer. @berlinfokus
