"Het is lastig dit anders te zien dan als een aanval op de wetenschap, op het instituut van de wetenschap, op het onafhankelijke denken in Nederland. Het lijkt een Nederlands equivalent van wat in andere Europese landen gebeurt waar radicaal rechts aan de macht kwam: een poging om het georganiseerde tegengeluid te smoren." -- @fonolog

I think #sqlalchemy is a great piece of software. But I disagree with it often. Its relationship fields seem like the source of a lot of N+1 bugs. And I would rather look at and write plain SQL than try to decipher these complicated query constructor expressions. Plus we’re almost certainly using it wrong: for one, I can see we’re holding transactions open way too long. If you like it that’s fine. Use it well and you’ll probably be very happy. But it’s not for me. #Python

Donald Trump wants a mass deportation program. How much could it cost?

@abc reports: "Trump has vowed, if he's elected, to conduct a large-scale deportation operation that some immigration and military experts agree is theoretically possible but also problematic, and could cost tens -- even hundreds -- of billions a year."

@JMMaok I think the problem with that humane and thoughtful framing is that the United States does not give a damn about children's lives (why else would school lunches be controversial?). But we do apparently care about money.

@JMMaok You have to make an cost-based argument so the poor dears suffering from "economic anxiety" will realize it's a bad idea.

Because they have no problem at all with locking up brown people (including children) in camps.

Pourquoi faut-il que ces endroits soient toujours un peu glauques et beaucoup trop éclairés ?

in reply to Yann

Un des trucs que j'ai toujours adoré à Paris... pendant un temps. L'odeur de lessive, la chaleur, les discussions entre clients. et puis je me suis installé dans le 18e vers Porte de Clignancourt, c'était cracra

How a Secluded 1984 Conference Forged Israel's Unprecedented Influence Over US Media


in reply to NightOwl

i'm convinced that hasbara is the reason why we banned tiktok and i sometimes wish my own government put this month thought into anything.

there's no way these guys couldn't see the parallels between hasbara and "1984" and it makes you wonder what arguments they used to justify doing it to themselves to help them ignore that fact that they've effectively turned themselves into the ministry of information or the ministry of peace.
