Opinion: How to survive the broligarchy: 20 lessons for the post-truth world | The Observer
  • If I recall the order of events, that was after many months of peddling anti-vax ideas and getting anyone who would listen to him riled up at the prospect of there even being a pandemic. So I don't think it's much praise to note he tried, once, ineffectually, to push for people to get vaccinated, especially when he lets those booing him shut him down so easily.

    That clip of him getting booed at the rally in August 2021, to me, especially shows why Trump deserves so much of the criticism. As president of the USA he was probably the individual with the most power and resources at his disposal to keep people from dying, from getting sick, from transmitting the disease. Not only did he actively make things worse for the first entire year of the pandemic being declared in the USA, when he finally does start telling people to get vaccinated it's once he's no longer in charge. On top of that, when he does it in the place with the lowest rate of vaccination in the entire country (according to this article published at the time: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-booed-alabama-rally-after-telling-supporters-get-vaccinated-n1277404) he lets himself get booed into a soft, non-committal "I recommend you take it, but still you need to preserve your personal freedoms, also I took it so haha guys if it doesn't work you'll be the first to know!".

    Trump definitely deserves the most blame for repeatedly stoking the fire of an already bad situation. So much so that there are articles that exist titled "a timeline of how Trump failed to respond to the coronavirus" (https://www.vox.com/2020/6/8/21242003/trump-failed-coronavirus-response). Sure, if you want to be a bit pedantic, he's not responsible for "all of it". I don't think anyone here is exactly claiming that either.

  • How Good at Math Does a Programmer Need to Be?
  • Math underlies programming in a similar fashion to how physics underlies automobile driving. You don't ever need to know about newton's laws of motion to pass your driver's license and never get a ticket until you die. At the same time, I will readily claim that any driver that doesn't improve after learning about newton's laws of motion had already internalized those laws through experience.

    Math will help your intuition with how to tackle problems in programming. From finding a solution to anticipating how different constraints (notably time and memory) will affect which solutions are available to you, experience working on math problems - especially across different domains in math - will grease the wheels of your programmer mind.

    Math on its own will probably not be enough (many great mathematicians are quite unskilled at programming). Just as driving a car is about much more than just the physics involved, there is a lot more to programming than just the math.

  • Ça y est vous êtes prêt(e)! Vous vous présentez à la prochaine élection présidentielle! Quel est le nom de votre livre de campagne ?
  • Titre: Pains aux chocolat et chocolatines

    Sous-titre : une France divisée est une France forte

    Histoire de perdre tout le monde avant même qu'ils ouvrent le livre 😁

    Le contenu du livre serait une revue des périodes de la France qui ont connu une grande division au sein de la société, et comment ces périodes ont contribué à la "grandeur" de la France. Guerres de religion entre cathos et protestants, la Résistance à l'occupation nazie, la covid et les anti-vax, l'affaire Dreyfus, il y a de quoi remplir plus d'un bouquin! Même le titre du bouquin pourrait être exploré comme une explication de la diversité (et qualité !) de la gastronomie française.

    Bon, c'est pas dit que ça convainc grand monde a part des réacs, des accélérationistes, et peut-être quelques maoïstes...

    L'Abre-Monde, par Richard Powers (titre originel: The Overstory)

    J'ignore comment rendre justice à l'expérience qu'à été ma lecture de ce livre.

    Dévoré en quelques jours. Le dernier tiers en particulier m'a retenu éveillé jusqu'à 3h du matin, le récit tellement fort que je ne pouvais me convaincre d'attendre le lendemain pour le terminer.

    Un certain ressenti de découvrir le livre que j'aurais écrit, dans une autre vie, si j'avais choisi un parcours "littéraire" et non "scientifique". Un renouveau de rage écologique maintenu sous contrôle, presque étouffé, par un calme fataliste qui n'est pas pour autant un lâcher-prise. Si Les Soulèvements De La Terre était une religion ceci serait sans doute un de leurs textes sacrés, et Powers un de leurs prophètes (bien que Bouddha serait plus apte comme label). Heureusement, ce n'est pas une religion, et ce livre n'est pas un texte divin. Au contraire, je le trouve profondément profane, et humain.

    Au-delà du "contenu" (cad les thèmes abordés, les arcs narratifs et péripéties suivi(e)s) la forme est remarquable. Powers écrit avec un style de narration qui, tel la conduite d'une auto à boite de vitesse dans une contrée vallonnée, change de trajectoire et d'allure dès qu'on a avancé une centaine de mètres. Et tout comme cette conduite, l'expérience qui en ressort n'est pas une succession d'interruptions qui nous laisse sur le qui-vive, mais un état de conscience profonde qui s’imprègne simultanément de chaque détail séparé et du mouvement de l'ensemble. Il y a des phrases qui donnent l'impression que le livre entier a été écrit et construit autour d'elles.

    Rust for Lemmings "Reading Club" Alternate Slot (18:00 UTC+2) - Session 15

    What?

    I will be holding the fifteenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

    Last time we began chapter 7 (Managing Growing Projects with Packages, Crates, and Modules), and read up through section 7.3 (Paths for Referring to an item in the Module Tree). This time we will start at section 7.4 (Bringing Paths Into Scope with the use Keyword).

    Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/8006138

    Why?

    This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

    (also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session)

    When ?

    Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+2 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-07-01). If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time-of-day and day-of-week as that one was.

    EDIT: here's the recording: https://youtu.be/RI4D62MVvCA

    Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

    How ?

    The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will be locally recorded, and uploaded afterwards to youtube (for now as well).

    I will have on-screen:

    • the BU online version of The Book
    • a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably rustup, cargo, and clippy)
    • some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com)
    • the live stream's chat

    I will steadily progress through the book, both reading aloud the literal text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to.

    People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book.

    I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it.

    Who ?

    You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.

    Je cherche le nom - idéalement un scan - d'une BD mettant en scène Paris soudainement envahit par des plantes

    Comme l'indique le titre, je recherche une BD francophone dont la trame principale est l'invasion d'une ville par une plante qui pousse à une vitesse foudroyante. Il y a des fortes chances que la ville soit Paris, mais il se peut que ça soit une autre ville.

    Autres détails dont je me souviens:

    • la plante en question ressemble surtout à des vignes ou lianes vertes (pas d'ecorce, pas de brun)
    • vers la fin on apprend que c'est une botaniste qui est à l'origine de la plante :
      • grosso merdo elle explique que la plante crèvera toute seule au bout de 2-3 jours en se désintégrant,
      • que les baies de cette plante sont comestibles par les éventuelles personnes coincées par les lianes,
      • et que le tout est censé être un acte radical de sensibilisation écologique infligé de force au reste du monde en mode "rappelez-vous que c'est la nature qui domine, pas l'Homme"

    Ce dont je suis à moitié certain :

    • cette botaniste est la mère du protagoniste, un jeune garçon ado
    • la BD est parue dans les numéros d'une revue de jeunesse dans les années 200X/201X - type astrapi, okapi, j'ai lu, ou peut-être encore sciences et vie junior

    Je l'ai lue en tant que gamin à sa sortie, et ça m'avait bien marqué. Il n'y a que récemment que je me suis rendu compte que c'était une belle pièce de propagande écoterroriste!

    Du coup j'aimerai essayer de la relire, en l'analysant explicitement en tant que tel 😈

    No Alternate Session For The "Reading Club" This Week

    Sorry y'all, I don't have access to a decent internet connection for the time being.

    Open Source for Climate Podcast

    ossforclimate.sustainoss.org OSS for Climate with hosts Richard Littauer and Tobias Augspurger

    Hosts Richard and Tobias talk about this new podcast, why open source technology is important for climate change, and what they hope to talk about with future guests!

    OSS for Climate with hosts Richard Littauer and Tobias Augspurger

    Seems relevant to this community (albeit I haven't listened to the podcast yet).

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/15928804

    > We are excited to announce the launch of a new podcast showcasing the transformative power of “Open Source for Climate” and the people and stories behind it. The open source movement is the key to bringing trusted knowledge, technology and collective action.

    Post-listen edit: a bit short and underwhelming. Then again, it seems to be more of an intro/announcement than a first "proper" episode. Hopefully the next one will be more fleshed out.

    Rust for Lemmings "Reading Club" Alternate Slot (18:00 UTC+2) - Session 10

    What?

    I will be holding the tenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

    Last time we covered defining and instantiating structs with section 1 of chapter 5, "Using Structs to Structure Related Data". We'll be continuing with section 2, where we'll be writing some code!

    Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/6703544

    Why?

    This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

    (also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session)

    When ?

    Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+2 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-05-20). If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time-of-day and day-of-week as that one was.

    Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

    How ?

    The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will simultaneously be recorded locally and uploaded afterwards to youtube (also, for now).

    EDIT: here's the recording https://youtu.be/s0U7KBXxL8g

    I will have on-screen:

    • the BU online version of The Book
    • a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably rustup and through it cargo & "friends")
    • some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com)
    • the live stream's chat

    I will steadily progress through the book, both reading aloud the literal text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to.

    People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book.

    I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it.

    Who ?

    You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.

    Rust for Lemmings "Reading Club" Alternate Slot (18:00 UTC+2) - Session 9

    Ownership is finally over! Ok, I know we're going to be seeing more of it throughout the rest of the book, but at least it should always be in the context of "doing" something else/useful. For example, grouping bits of related data into structs.

    What?

    I will be holding the ninth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

    This week we begin chapter 5 "Using Structs to Structure Related Data"!
