aaa_aaa··on Gifaanisqatsi: A Random Koyaanisqatsi Generator
Commodore 64 game Delta uses this music, very good.
aaa_aaa··on NASA – Artemis I Liftoff
It's not the same thing. They can sell their services to anybody.
aaa_aaa··on NASA – Artemis I Liftoff
Yet, money was not taken from individuals' pockets.
aaa_aaa··on Kemal: Fast, Effective, Simple Web Framework for Crystal
Nah fez is cool. Also there are fictional characters with fez (eg, ustura kemal). Besides Kemal Atatürk used to wear one, suited him nicely
aaa_aaa··on John Berger: 90 years of looking, listening and seeing (2017)
Article states `Avoid at all costs the mean-spirited obituary published by the Guardian.`. Any idea why is it mean spirited?
aaa_aaa··on Twitter to start layoffs -internal email
Nobody worshipped him anyway. Musk is openly against some major progressive liberal and left viewpoints. And he is an awkward impulsive super billionaire. So naturally there is a sour crowd here.
aaa_aaa··on Bye Twitter – Manu Cornet
Honestly, mediocre at best. Drawing style is even less so.
aaa_aaa··on Vectis IP Announces Call for Patents Essential to the Opus codec
Here is a debate on IP with two different libertarian perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep2-ohgFOys `Abolish the IP laws` side provides some pointers to related research and empirical evidence against IP.
aaa_aaa··on Splunk IP suit against Cribl
To me, unless there is a legal document you signed with your employer, there is no line. Even, IMO, IP is not `property` so that it cannot be used against. But that is another discussion.
aaa_aaa··on Open source development is not sustainable
This is just unnecessary projection.
aaa_aaa··on Open source development is not sustainable
Well I do not share your past, culture, ethnicity and probably ideology. I am an open source developer. I am baffled when people conflate irrelevant things like this.
aaa_aaa··on Open source development is not sustainable
Why do you say `a white middle european dude`?
aaa_aaa··on [dead]
Maybe, people should stop preaching what should others do and build their own sport events however they like.
aaa_aaa··on Paving the on-ramp to Java
Groovy is not Java.
aaa_aaa··on An early disruption event is starting for the Polar Vortex
Because if they say it like that, they think It would undermine the climate change image in the minds of the masses. That is why we see such silly headlines like `Earth had its 6th-hottest July and year to date on record` from NOAA.
aaa_aaa··on An early disruption event is starting for the Polar Vortex
Man that temperature color scale is very annoying. Red hot is 7 degrees and -23 is pinkish? -23 and 14 has almost the same colors.
aaa_aaa··on Open Source Bait and Switch
Author says "We need to get paid". Who is we? He should have talked for himself. This "we" talk is sometimes get tiresome.
aaa_aaa··on The Ethereum merge is done
Second issue is more political-ideological. Stopping crime is just an excuse. Current states will never allow a competing currency (against Fiat).
aaa_aaa··on Kiwi Farms is down across all domains as DDoS-Guard terminates service
This information is hard to believe. How is a forum is responsible? Seriously, has someone hired a hitman or what?
aaa_aaa··on Study: Chances of serious side effects from coronavirus vaccines
Universities or government institutions (including Army) did not allow working or studying without a vaccine. This is forcing.

Also numbers are out there. It is laughable people comes with "alternative was dying" argument for young people.

aaa_aaa··on Study: Chances of serious side effects from coronavirus vaccines
Yet they (Government, CDC and media) downplayed it blatantly. They certainly made people believe forcing it to young people (<40), especially teenagers and kids was ok. Risks were higher than benefit and it was obvious from the data.
aaa_aaa··on Delphi still exists and is actively developed
Not necessarily. I think Delphi with visual programming is ok for students. High school kids like immediate visual feedback and ease of use. Probably deal does not involve money.
aaa_aaa··on Delphi still exists and is actively developed
AFAIK they signed a deal with education ministry of Turkey so that Delphi will be taught as the programming language in technical high schools.
aaa_aaa··on France experiencing worst drought on record
Search for `tree ring XXXX`, `historical droughts` etc.

This may be useful too http://drought.memphis.edu/OWDA/

paper: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.1500561

aaa_aaa··on France experiencing worst drought on record
Two things,

- There are many research available that used tree rings to determine past draughts. And yes there were much worse and prolonging ones. Some research goes as far back as a millennia.

- Yo do not need to kill a tree to get ring information. A drill is sufficient.

aaa_aaa··on France experiencing worst drought on record
Yet, there probably were worse draughts within past 200 years. Tree rings and river bed markings can easily prove this. `On Record` is a little deceiving.
aaa_aaa··on How prestige outlets get away with copypasta
They just have different audiences. It does not make one more prestigious.
aaa_aaa··on How prestige outlets get away with copypasta
Honestly I don't know why these outlets are considered `prestigious`. To me they are just `popular`.
aaa_aaa··on Intel let the chips fall where they might
Real question is why bail out a loser? Actually, why bail out anybody?
aaa_aaa··on Most Americans think NASA’s $10B space telescope is a good investment
As long as not funded by voluntary donations, such an extremely over budget investment is waste with little to no actual gain for humanity.
