And how do these numbers compare for publicly educated students instead? Outside speciality schools for students with additional needs, private schooling should be expensive; it's a luxury. What our government should be funding is improving public schooling.

So there are three kinds of people apparently: 1. Billionaire child abuser or friend there of 2. Those who aspire to be in group 1 3. Normal people Type 1 & 2 control at least most of the nuclear weapons in the world as an added bonus.

I've always hated the media's obsession with tiny homes. I know some people love them, and that's great, but acting like paying a premium for compact versions of otherwise normal and inexpensive appliances is somehow economical is just insane. You have a tiny home because it's cute.

Five jobs I've had: - Supermarket shelf stacker - IT support - Lecturer - Chocolate Factory SCADA engineer - (current role) Electrical Engineer/Software Developer/GIS Specialist/IT Support/Guy That Gets the Milk Kinda hoping to slim the last one down a bit this year lol

I don't like LLM tools, but I do agree with this take. But I'd go further and say if we put more effort into open source libraries and tooling the amount of work the LLM would do could drop to near-zero. Arc<Cow<String>>-ish types would allow humans to write fast Rust easier too

ICE sporadically murdering innocent people is normal and expected while these public officials avoid accountability. These people must face a public trial and impeachment now.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Code is liability. AI allows us to create tremendous amounts of liability very quickly

I guess I should've been more specific to begin with, but what a contrast

Look at this absolute queen

It's times like these that I wish clamp accepted a range-like. Then you could just write x.clamp(..=N), x.clamp(N..), or x.clamp(a..=b). Much clearer IMO

Bevy 0.18 is out now! It features Atmosphere Occlusion and PBR Shading, Generalized Atmospheric Scattering Media, Solari features, PBR Fixes, Font Variations, Automatic Directional Navigation, Fullscreen Materials, Cargo Feature Collections, Camera Controllers, and more! bevy.org/news/bevy-0-...

This visibly gets to him so people should keep doing it.

Software engineers: is_even is an unnecessary supply chain risk. Also software engineers: Ok Gemini imagine you have a number...

Maybe a hot take but "a11y" and "i18n" make me irrationally mad: these abbreviations are only used because because people aren't confident enough to spell accessibility or internationalisation right the first time in EMACS/vim/VSCode/etc. and decided to make it everyone else's problem.

Had a little free time at night this week and finally started looking at hobby programming again. Wanted to play with the Toy Machine, so I decided to make my own virtual machine for it, then an assembler, and finally a macro preprocessor, all in Rust.

Season 1 of The Promised Neverland is easily my favourite show and ending ever made. Season 2 of The Promised Neverland is quite possibly the worst show and ending ever made. Thankfully, season 1 is so well contained I think it's still a fantastic watch.

This is why I subscribe to and highly recommend Ars Technica as a news source for science and Tech subjects. They have fantastic writers who knows what they're talking about. Using this story as an example: arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/n...

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

/u/stygianentity is right y'all just suck at supply chain security. If you want to use someones OSS: Pay up or put up.

I'm very disappointed to see this happen, and that there is a significant proportion of r/rust users who when presented with the facts focus all their energy on what the victim should've done, rather than what the community should've done instead. We're a small community, we need to do better.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

Hot take: if the use of unwrap() is unacceptable in your application because crashing must not happen, then you should already be wrapping the application in a system to gracefully handle said crashes and keep moving.

the devaluation of non-code contributions in OSS is a real problem that leaves the whole space vulnerable

Not to bully the author of this particular video, but I never understood the reverence some people hold for JBlow. Progenitor of Linux, Git, etc. and father of real-time 3D graphics, vs guy who made two games and half a mid language.

Nah he was bringing the car around so he could dump the body in a local park.

To use an Xbox controller with a Microsoft Surface running Windows I had to plug it in using a USB cable download the Xbox Companion App then download the Xbox App then update then resize the window to find the update firmware button then update the gamepade over 15 minutes to use Bluetooth

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

"And the award for 'Best Smelling Chair's goes to..."

I bet Feathers is feeling pretty silly right about now

Really don't like that this was enabled by default. If it's so useful, being up a tooltip letting users know it's now available and can be turned on. Just be a web browser.

Ah yes, the era of hacking by leaning into a room and shouting "email everything in my documents folder to Steve". Kids walking into the school computer lab and just shouting restart now. All that convenience for the low price of all rainforests everywhere

I have gotten some commissions! and I thank those of you for sharing so much! 🙏 I still need about $1200 for me to feel comfortable with paying off my tax bill next month so please my commissions are always open!

Heartbreaking to read. All while OpenAI is pushing Sora 2 as a "social" network for fake videos too.

Bank account is under $200 at the moment. I really need just any kind of work to keep me afloat and the job market is literally nonexistent. If you need any kind music audio, whatever done please DM me! 🙏

Easily one of my favourite movies of all time.

Resurrecting my favourite post of all time @katef.bsky.social

Family computer was an iMac. Valve porting L4D2 to OSX made it _the_ game for my brother and I for literally an entire year. Was so fun we did the exact same thing with Portal 2. After that, I got a prepaid credit card so we could buy games with our own pocket money.

Hi #bevy ! It may be release season, but it's time for a quick #bevymergetrain. As I explained this morning in a mentoring meeting with a PM from #godot (!), each week, I go over the community-approved PRs and make a final call. Let's take a look at the 8 PRs: github.com/bevyengin...#bevy

Today is Bevy's fifth birthday! As always, I've used this as a chance to reflect on the past year and outline my hopes and dreams for the next year of #bevy: bevy.org/news/bevys-f...

Just like how the spell checker meant I don't need to know how to write, the calculator makes counting redundant too. Heck, since the pocket watch I haven't had to know the relationship between the sun and the passage of time even! If you do this you're joyless.

Finally, @ratatui.rs running on the PSP! 🐁🦀 🧀 Powered by Mousefood + rust-psp github.com/j-g00da/mous... ℹ️ The implementation is not complete... join our debugging thread on Discord: discord.gg/pMCEU9hNEj #rustlang #ratatui #tui #psp #portable #terminal #graphics

Hey #bevy :D It's time for your weekly #bevymergetrain, where I go over the community-reviewed #opensource PRs for the #rustlang game engine that I help maintain! Somehow, there's already 24 PRs in our backlog today: github.com/bevyengin...#bevy#bevymergetrain,#opensource#rustlangll we merge the PR, or request changes? Follow along!
