"cost federal and state taxpayers more than $86.9 million, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants... A mere 6,500 participants have enrolled 18 months into the program, approximately 75% fewer than the state had estimated for Pathways’ first year. Thousands of others never finished applying, according to the state’s data, as reports of technical glitches mounted."

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a 'populist' fascist is destroying American science -- I've been fighting against pseudoscience & creationism for 40+ years. It looks like they're finally winning.

All European armies have to make a multi-year transition planning to make their fighting capabilities less dependent, possibly independent from the USA. This is a massive undertaking as anyone knows who knows anything about weapon systems in use.
But we can't have a president like Trump decide whether we are allowed to use a weapon system or not.

I think one of the most unintentionally hilarious exemplars of the modern web is the indie dev type who uses 97 pounds of javascript, CSS, and assorted frameworks plus a rat's nest of integrations to create a website that looks like it was built in 1997 using Frontpage.

Does anyone have experience in using AERC, the command-line email client?

I'd like to read posts outlining custom workflows and learn the proper way to set it up for my needs.

Boosts welcome.

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or topple the online pillars of capitalism - but it's making a political statement nonetheless. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web, away from the corporations". I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

Loved this line from the article in particular: "The most valuable skills often emerge from the intersections between disciplines, not from their cores."

There's really much to learn from working and collaborating with other people, whether that be related to your current line of work or maybe even something else entirely. I just hope more people do approach collaborating in this manner, to make interactions more worthwhile 😄

Want to know what US government workers actually do, vs. the propaganda spewed by DOGE?

that was a quick honeymoon:

“…concern among investors over a slowing economy and sticky inflation, leading them in search of safer assets.

Losses increased into the close as traders feared staying long into a weekend that could bring another barrage of headlines from the Trump administration, which has proposed a flurry of tariffs and other market-moving policy changes since taking charge a month ago.”
