Our newer, faster CPU is complemented by a newer, faster GPU: Broadcom’s VideoCore VII, developed here in Cambridge, with fully open source Mesa drivers from our friends at Igalia.

Idk about fully but the above is a good change imo

Idk I think all o' that new-fangled com-putin stuff is a fad.

Cuz I'm sick of not really owning my media. I have to hope the streaming company stays around, doesn't magically lose records or my purchase, etc.

Just a reminder, if your waitstaff...

OH. That kind of server.

My dumb ass is like "what does it mean to tip a computer server? Is that some weird gen z IT slang I've somehow missed that means overloading it somehow and if so why not just call it DOSing like the rest of us?"

I'm such a dope sometimes.

The medical profession needs to do a total rework if it's training and work patterns / work ethic. From what I know, it is totally unhinged.

The training system was developed by William Halsted, a pioneering surgeon who worked at Johns Hopkins hospital in the late 19th and early 20th century. Halsted battled addiction throughout his career, even as he revolutionized surgery by developing new surgical techniques, advancing anesthesia and promoting infection control. He became hooked on cocaine in 1884 while conducting experiments with the drug. ...

“This man created a culture where you lived in the hospital,” says Michael Maddaus, a retired surgeon who developed a narcotics addiction while working as a professor of surgery at the University of Minnesota. “Part of the ethos of that is you don’t complain … You just do your work and shut up and have discipline to be strong and pretend you’re OK when everything’s not.” ...

In 2003, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, which oversees medical training in the US, ruled that trainees could work a maximum of 80 hours a week in clinical care. The first time that any national limit had been set on trainee work hours, it cut into the 100-hour-plus weeks that were often the norm for surgical trainees. ...

Just the first paragraph or two are laughably slanted.

For example, Amazon's business model isn't "making users happy" ffs. It's about having everything for sale available quick. If they wanted us happy they would fix their fucking horrible UI, they would sell quality stuff instead of so much crap, they would do more about fake reviews, counterfeits, etc.

A stray canine in Brazil has turned out to be a whole new breed of adorable. According to a genetic study, the female animal is most probably the first of its kind – a hybrid between a South American pampas fox and a dog. Otherwise known as a dogxim.

Didn't ZZ Top do a song about that?

retards

Sigh can we just not?

Call them ballsacks, assholes, fucksticks, cuntbags, or whatever else if you like but using that word sounds like something they would say.

Trump... logic... these cannot coexist.

Me irl spending an hour trying to figure out why vscode reformats pasted code by 2 spaces when I've set 4 spaces for indent as the default.... so I could write ten lines of code (as a hobbyist)...

More reading social media posts than reading books, probably. If one doesn't make the connection between the sounds and the proper written word, then you might be more likely to make mistakes like "would of" instead of "would've" (which is my pet peeve, incidentally)

Unfortunately, fascism isn't bad for business, possibly even the opposite. So those monied interests care a lot less than us peons.

I believe the going theory is firearms are more likely to succeed whereas other means aren't. So you get fewer suicide attempts and more suicides :(

We need to be asking why are teen boys committing suicide at high rates? But also we need to be able to support and help them somehow instead of casting them off on their own once they hit puberty.

PS:

Vinik noted that the suicide rate, already at a 20-year high, is rising the most quickly among young people of color.

Article goes on to talk about the difficulty of accessing mental health care for black boys, and other factors.

Presently, the firearm suicide rate is highest with Native American and Alaska Native young men and Black men — but Asian and Pacific Islanders, Latinx, and Black young men constitute the fastest-growing firearm suicide rates of any racial and ethnic groups in the Unites States.

Also

Michael pointed to “traditional, cisgender masculinity” as a factor in the rising suicide rate among teenage boys and young men.

“If you are a person that’s either been raised to believe that seeking help for mental health ailments is a sign of weakness, you might also be a person at risk for suicide,” Michael said.

Multiple times since 2016 it has hit home like never before: anything related to freedom and democracy has to be continually fought for. When we stop being vigilant (say from 1974-2015) those that seek money and power above all else chip away at everything until they get it.

Damn that's impressive. I had a poodle as a kid that had a vocab ... but not that big! She knew 2 or 3 toys and family members and a couple basic things like outside or food. If she heard the word cat in casual conversation she would go looking and barking at the back sliding glass door.

Byeee

Sounds a lot like me. That's not communism, that's just being a decent person. One that respects others and just wants everyone to live a good life without being the target of hate and harassment.
