Thanks for your input. Web dev seems great and I’ve considered trying to deploy some kind of useful REST API, like for computing directions from one place to another on campus, probably with FastAPI in Python. Doing something with Docker is also on my todo-list…
I just started Forces of Production the other day. It’s interesting.
The other day I started reading a Chinese scifi novel 猫城记 Cat City/Cat Country. I thought about trying to translate it even though it’s above my reading level by just looking up all the words as I go. But I’m below that threshold of 95% understanding or whatever and have to look up many phrases on each page.
There is no doubt that the unpaid internship is exploitative, moreso than the already discouraging/tiring path to a first job programming. But I also think you were right to accept it as a step towards launching a career. It’s something you will never have to do a second time… onward and upward
Great magazine, loved the articles about modern sailing ships and sewage handling by aquaculture.
I believe as individuals and society we are over reliant on unnecessarily advanced technology and should seek alternatives to distance ourselves from this.
I feel about the same way, to the point I don’t even really want print media to die. We’re still looking at something right in front of us, but at least it isn’t a screen. I’ve been framing it mentally as part of an intentional relationship I want to have with technology, and I think generally others should consider this too. Adopt technology selectively and critically, don’t just let them foist new consumer durables on you, LOL.
40 minutes is completely workable!
Think it’d be pretty easy to tell a kid you can’t, or just not inform them that there is an opt-out process in the first place, but I could get it if some people object to the lying by omission
Makes sense, a limit as strict as 8 minutes for the youngest kids seriously inhibits basic communication, so really this either has to iterated on or a great deal of parents will just opt out so it has no effect.
I’m considering starting a lemmygrad whitelist server with a couple mods. Maybe you guys would be interested!
comrade Jacob must have studied something well-compensated or become very skilled to pull 70k a year!
It’s a nitpick, but we mean the class right? Gotha programme etc., workers as individuals need to contribute some value to the commons and society more broadly, sort of thing. But that’s still the workers getting everything: First as an individual and second as a member of socialist society.
I played it for a couple weeks until I got tired of it for now. Me and the gf really like it!! It is an awesome continuation of the TerraFirmaCraft vision.
Thanks for your viewpoint and I think I’ll do that and keep working towards my first dev co-op etc. Nice to have the flexibility to transition down the line.
