Just wanted to brag that I just had an open source pull request I made THREE years ago merged by the maintainer.

I'm slightly terrified based off how much I've learned about TypeScript since, but honestly the code wasn't as bad as I remember feeling about it (it not getting merged definitely led to that dejected feeling just a lil'..)

Confession: I haven’t actually seen a modern desktop GPU that was released in the last three years, up close and in person. Until today.

Holy crap these are massive now! (Cassette tape for scale)

really pushing the idea of a “card” at this point. The ATX PC has had an amazing run but these GPUs make me think it’s time for a change in form factor.

The thing the tories have never understood, or understand and are dishonest about it, is regulation is good for business.

The only people who don't like regulations are the people who are fundamentally dishonest. The lack of decent regulations tips the balance in favour of the dishonest, the people after a fast buck at the expense of their customers and or employees.

Australia use to do this from the early 70s (Whitlam gov't) until the mid 80s, when Reaganomics arrived.

In the now, it's actually a prerequisite to staying an advanced nation.

Joking aside, that's what happened in the UK when I went to college in 1970. Not paid exactly but I got free tuition, free lodging, 3 meals a day and a grant that covered books, materials etc. And some beer and cigarettes. It wasn't luxury but poor students could live decently and have a little fun. It was like that because the government recognised that society needed more college educated professionals so it had to pay to get them.
