Mastodon FeedConvo today with a friend of my daughter:
Her: I have lots of #TaylorSwift merch.
Me: Really? Like what
Her: Lots of CDs, but I have no #CD player
Me: Did you rip your CDs?
Her: *Gasp* I would NEVER rip my CDs! Why would I do that?
Me: Ah. “Ripping” a CD means to turn its songs into #MP3
Her: What’s an MP3?Narrator: and in that moment, Lloyd realised there were not 1, but 2 #Generational gaps at play because #streaming is the norm now.

Spade now has a playground at https://play.spade-lang.org/
It runs the Spade compiler, and simulates the resulting Verilog code along with a VGA monitor right in the browser through web assembly.
Since it simulates an actual VGA/HDMI monitor, the code written here can be uploaded to an #fpga and will behave exactly the same!

Very important for Swedes to vote in the EU Election. Privacy is a fundamental human right, even when there are bad people doing bad things. Mass surveillance by the government does more harm than good.

“…thanks to the AI revolution, we are entering a period where it will be a great time to be a humanities major with an interest in technology. The conventional story of course is that we're in the middle of a mass exodus from English or History as majors…And to be sure, the exodus is real. But there is a case to be made that college & grad students are over-indexing on the math & the programming, just as the technology is starting to demand a different set of skills...”

NEW, by me: LendingTree has confirmed its QuoteWizard subsidiary had data stolen from cloud data giant Snowflake.
It's the latest company, after Ticketmaster, to confirm a data breach hosted by Snowflake.
Throughout the week, TechCrunch sent more than a dozen questions to Snowflake about the ongoing incident. Snowflake declined to answer our questions on at least six occasions.
These are some of the questions we asked Snowflake, and why we're asking them.

Here's some real ground breaking Māori Data Sovereignty news which you probably didn't hear because mainstream doesn't cover genuine DataSov just the kind that Big Tech thinks they're doing.
Tl;dr for Māori by Māori distributed data storage centers.

I really really like commuter rail, and I haven't really introspected all that much on why, but this is a good exploration of some of those things (from a writer who is not especially a railfan)

It's cool how multi-billion dollar companies still need unpaid, public research and feedback to be pressured into putting in even the most basic safeguards for a questionable (at best) product they attempt to impose on the public. Super cool.
