    I want to present a paper for papers we love. I don't know what. I usually present historic papers.

    Any suggestions?

    @rml Business loves to use sport metaphors. Many executives do endurance sports. They understand you work up to a point or two of peak performance in a year.

    Then they turn around and expect peak work performance week after week.

    It is almost like the point is extract as much value from people, and then dispose of them as drunk up juice boxes

    The US public consistently expresses majority support for policies like Medicare for All, higher taxes on the rich, free university education, debt erasure, rent control, legal abortion, and statehood for DC.

    The US lacks these because the US political system does not exist to implement the public’s preferences.

    @HeavenlyPossum It is amusing how among professional US politicians it is considered in bad taste to have a platform to bring those majority ideas into practice. "They are buying their votes by promising laws that will make their lives better!"

    Self-interest only helps society if you are a billionaire, it seems

    I feel a constant tension, a sense that things have gotten bad enough, broken down enough, that something has to give. Something has to snap and there will be a rush of change and, better or worse, things will be at least different for a bit.

    I keep thinking “how much more can we take and keep going on like everything is normal?” but we just keep going on. The tension keeps ratcheting.

    @loke I started working through your tutorial. So far, it is pretty good. There is a minor detail that can be improved so far, which is saying how to type the negative character. I can do the edit if you are open to pull requests.

    Again, very pleasant. I have been burnt out from learning programming this year due to the AWS dev cert, and your tutorial has been a delight to work through

    Rust is all drama

    Did you not see Guido stepping down as BDFL 'cause he was over with the community after trying to push the so called "walrus" operator?

    Did you not see Stroustroup whining like a child when asked what the C++ committee was doing to make the language safe?

    Reading "Beyond Good and Evil." So far, Nietzsche is a standup comedian performing for an audience of one, himself. Luckily he his book eventually found his audience.

    I enjoy the dissing of other philosophers, but I don't get what his point is

    HeavenlyPossum, to anarchism

    When people find out I’m an anarchist, a question I frequently get is “how would people with chronic illnesses like diabetes access treatment under anarchism?”

    There are a lot of unspoken assumptions packed into that question that I thought I’d explore a bit.

    The first is, of course, that people with chronic illnesses can access treatment in the context of capitalist modernity. Not everyone can! Many people in the world of states and capital suffer and die from lack of access to treatment.

    Not because the treatment is unavailable, but because access is mediated through capitalist gatekeeping. People, today, right now, in allegedly rich countries, die because they cannot afford insulin. For them, the question of “but how would we access insulin under anarchism” is moot. Many others access it only at the cost of medical debt and other forms of indenture.

    @HeavenlyPossum We do many things voluntarily in US society. No one is forced to go to church and contribute with money or labor. Children's soccer runs on a lot of free labor. The natural incentive is forming greater bonds via mutual responsibility with others.

    Coercion is only needed to make an individual insanely wealthy while breaking the normal convention of having a duty towards the people helping them become richer

    For some time I’ve curated a filter to block any American content from reaching me but lately there’s still a disturbing amount getting through and of course, this is unacceptable

    Does anyone have a good list of words to prevent America please?

    @u0421793 @trebach this is good. Add to the list "New York Times", "Washington Post", "Wall Street Journal", and their abbreviations, NYT, WaPo, WSJ. Also POTUS, SCOTUS. Maybe "Supreme Court" is safe. I barely see any frequent mentions from other countries, and the US is making a lot of news recently. Also "primaries" , "GOP", "republicans", "democrats"

    A good exercising in listening to other ideas. Wrestling with Freudian's concept of the Oedipus Complex, which I find to be the weakest concept in Freud's ideas. I tackled it as a concept.

    I explained it in my own words, and I could see how the term and the metaphor can stand for this complex experience between a child and their mother, and the mother having to pay attention to some other third person. Using philosophical methods, one can deduce how a child-mother is the first relationship we have, how the father stands for the first other person who can take the love away from the child, producing hurt, envy, anger, and aggression. Accepting the mother paying attention to others solved these problems. So the concept provided a good framework to explore the nuances of human relationships, desires, disappointments, and acceptance. I can see its usefulness. I will explore it more, especially as I read other Freudians take on it.

    I also write down some objections on it too. I understand it, but I still reject it for a variety if reasons

    @ianbetteridge We find ourselves in the strange position where corporations will use open source software without contributing, yet if they contribute there is often a monopolistic agenda behind it.

    History is proving that free software's critique on corporate friendly open source was right

    @HeavenlyPossum @RD4Anarchy @fedup @SallyStrange In my experience, leftists believe in classical economics; which is why they oppose the unfairness of it. Neoliberals are the ones consistently surprised when market economics lead to bad outcomes

    Here's what people on the outside looking in, don't get, Mastodon isn't an alternative to other social media, it is its own thing entirely.

    That's what struck me about it, and why I'm still there. People on Mastodon didn't care how many people were on it or if their favorite celebrity or journalist was here. They want to build communities with real people.

    All these kinds of articles are basically stating, "This wasn't for me, therefore these things are failures." How absolutely ridiculous.

    @RickiTarr mastodon feels to me like early twitter, before the algorithmic stream, when they could set you up to fight others.

    I like this. Meeting new people who are interesting. I don't think I have ever gotten one fight in here.

    And if this dynamic keeps the fighting people out, even better

    rml, to rust

    I think the biggest problem with #rust is that it's novel enough that its not the kind of thing the average #cpp developer can jump into and figure out as they go along. You gotta read a book, and getting good means writing lots of it. And most c++ developers aren't using c++ because they love it, they're using it because it pays. So the challenge is getting them excited to spend their free time training for what could hypothetically one day be their next job.

    hugoestr,
    @hugoestr@functional.cafe avatar

    @Feufochmar @rml I like many of the Rust concepts, but I find it hard to find an application within business programming when other languages are already being used. And in cases where it could be used, Go becomes a better fit since it is easier to train people in it

    Native tribes living in the NE US burned forest underbrush to open up the space while keeping the tree cover. I ran across this controlled burn that I think represents how this worked.

    The goal was to create an open game park-like space in which people lived alongside the animals they hunted and the crops they grew. This approach was different from how English settlers lived in nature, hence a key aspect of the culture clash.
