'A separate intelligence file in the trove of leaked documents said Beijing would consider a “significant” Ukrainian strike with US or Nato weapons on Russian territory as an escalation of the conflict that would merit sending arms to Russia.'... there is a lot of wiggle-room in the word "significant"

I have early memories of seeing auroras, but those memories are embedded inside memories of recurring dreams I used to have.
I also have early memories of a house my family lived in for a while, but those memories are also embedded inside the memories of recurring dreams (actually a childhood nightmare).
I wonder if there's a word for only remembering something through a memory of a dream?

FOSSi Foundation's Latch-Up was held recently in Santa Barbara, California. The videos of the presentations are up already. They're worth checking out if you're into that sort of thing.

Golang: (Still) Not a Fan
I try to be pragmatic when it comes to programming languages. I've enjoyed learning a lot of programming languages over the years, and they all have varying benefits and downsides. Like a lot of topics in Computer Science, choosing a language is all about tradeoffs.
I've seen too many instances of people blaming the programming language they're using for some problem when in fact it's just that …

Mastodon FeedFor reference, turning down the brightness by 15% on my 49" ultra-wide display makes a difference of 25W.
At roughly 10 hours of daily usage, that's 0.25kWh each day or about 50 Euros per year!
Mastodon FeedEasiest way to save some energy and money tho: turn down your display's brightness by just 10 to 15 percent. Makes a huge difference, especially with bigger displays.

Interested in pushing back? My DMs are open. We need lawyers, technologists, and NGOs (per state) to begin to change things.
