I feel like I missed part of the article where it said that the current administration was planning on distributing this medal. What I read was more along the lines of them saying that the current administration is potentially implementing some pronatalist policies and the it describes one policy promoted by a pronatalist group, but nothing about the current administration planning on implementing that specific policy.

Not saying any of this is good and I tend to mentally gloss over parts of text that I read, I'm just earnestly missing where it says that specific policy is one that is being looked into and I would appreciate someone pointing it out to me.

I would say that we can't really quantify morality on a time scale that large. I may be confusing terms here but the specifics of what is and isn't considered moral will vary wildly between different groups of people and different time periods.

Even if you break morality down to the concept of "don't cause unnecessary suffering" leaves a lot of room for different interpretation.

AI is a tool, Ashish is 100% correct in that it may do some things for developers but ultimately still needs to be reviewed by people who know what they're doing. This is closer to the change from punch cards to writing code directly on a computer than making software developers obsolete.

Honestly, I just ask if they can solve FizzBuzz. It shows me how they approach problems, how they communicate their process, and that they know basic programming concepts. The rest of the interview just kinda tells me if I'd get along with them as a person. Most other things, good and bad, only show up over time.

Then again, I work with software that isn't exceptionally complex.

I wonder how biology plays into this. I never noticed a huge shift in hangover intensity. Yeah they got a little worse in my 30s but nothing as debilitating as what I've been lead to believe would happen.

I'm up to four or five. Honestly, we should keep track and see who gets the high score

Part of me is wanting to put that new PC build I just started saving for on a credit card instead.

Real leftist use Arch, obviously.

That's a good idea, I do use Obsidian for TTRPG notes

I understand sentiment after seeing how a lot of tech companies are. The other side of it is this: Developers still have bills to pay. FOSS projects are great, especially if they're done by a small team and have a supportive community, but there are only a limited number of developers who have a combination of knowledge, skill, free time, and financial capability to truly dedicate themselves to FOSS projects.

If I could support myself by coding for FOSS projects, I would probably try (hell I just might not be aware of opportunities for this) but that isn't the reality in front of me.

The Black Hole is a fantastic movie (at least if memory serves, it's been awhile) that nobody seems to have heard of.

I've tried to get into Mastodon, but always struggled to get into it. This is just me making assumptions here but I feel like the lack of centralization hurts something like Mastodon. Having to pick an instance, then sign up, and the kind of wrap your head around Federation limits adoption and I feel the limited user base hurts Twitter-clones more than other kinds of social media.
