“That Damned LMS Dependency”

> What does it say about education that this particular piece of software – one that was once utterly reviled by students and teachers alike – is not now only ubiquitous across all grades and all levels, but is viewed as essential to its operation?!

It was alway funny when people called my queer ass homophobic, and my writing against racism racist because I talked to racists in the process of talking about racism.

Also engaging with Anonymous was racism and homophobia, no matter how many times I tried to explain how that culture worked, it was just too hard to actually think about what I was saying.

So all these years later, not talking to racists, not interceding at all, it KINDA FUCKIN BACKFIRED, DIDN'T IT?

I get called terrible things for writing stuff like this https://medium.com/@quinnnorton/the-problem-with-white-shunning-56b67cc2d726

And I just think the other white people cancel me for calling them out.

Yo uso esta otra escala, pero la que plantea Aria me parece más global, la mía es un intento de describir la situación cuando el dolor no te deja hacer vida

Escala de dolor:
0: sin dolor
1: está presente
3: dificulta hacer vida normal
5: imposibilita hacer vida normal
7: cuesta aguantarse/lágrimas de dolor
9: hueso roto/expulsar algo por los uréteres

There were never any real prospects for a U.S.-Iran deal to fizzle. That was just a media narrative, one driven by prioritizing words from a serially lying White House over the consistent facts of the war. In a month of uninterrupted rain, you ran multiple headlines of “Sun Comes Out, Trump Says.”

So, I'm trying out Helix editor despite loathing the anti-GUI nature of most terminal text editors because of how frustrating most of the bigger editors have become

And one thing that's weird is that all of the language servers I use work much more reliably in Helix than in, say, Zed or Sublime. That on its own is shaping to be worth increasing the cognitive overhead of work by losing the file tree and mini-map

Also, turns out less lag while typing does partially make up for the mode bullshit

obviously i am going to be fair and give it as much help as i can. i'm confident it will perform piss poorly even given considerable help.

help of course means writing an AGENTS.md.
here are the things i have decided it should pay particular attention to. any other recs?

• alignment requirements
• strict pointer aliasing
• memory leaks
• use after free
• automatic casts
• undefined behaviour, especially:
  • strict pointer aliasing
  • overflow and underflow

In the latest in a series of articles about Debusine, our developers and sysadmins do a deep dive on how they managed to investigate and fix #Debusine workflow performance issues caused by complex interactions between a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues.

It involved delicate work to avoid system deadlocks, optimizing our workflow orchestration, scheduling fixes, worker refactoring and reducing the high database write volume.

RE: https://mstdn.social/@marick/116550557064314183

So a recurring observation I’ve encountered from educators of various stripes is that their students are resisting doing the work to a greater degree than earlier students because they are extremely uncomfortable with looking foolish, bad or incompetent

Tawny Platis noted this in a recent video on voice acting students, for example

The problem is that feeling like an idiot as you make crap is an integral part of all creative processes

Aaron Swartz joined the RSS working group when he was 13. At 15 he became a foundational member of Creative Commons. He was working on precursors to markdown at 16.

We should not be locking young people out of our communities and keeping them away from digital tools that can open doors for them, expand their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and help them grow into well-rounded adults.

Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.
