  • As a hiring manager in IT for decades, I learned early: do not hire PhDs

    They can write a paper about why the program does not work. They are not willing to sit down roll up their sleeves get intimate with a debugger and make the program work.

  • It's all new people now sadly Edgar passed just a few years ago. But the new troupe studied and played with prior TD for years and very much has the same vibe

    Their whole catalogue from 1960s to now is a perfect soundtrack for a thinking person's life

  • clearly built the world in a way that does not absolutely prove his existence

    There is nothing we observe that requires supernatural explanation.

    We have multiple plausible naturalistic and quantitative theories about the origin of life, the nature of consciousness, and the origin of matter and spacetime.

    At this point you need God to explain the Universe the way a fish needs a bicycle.

  • With Texas Dems on the Run, Vance Urges GOP Gerrymandering in Indiana

  • Hank Green makes a great slogan point:

    "Gerrymandering is when the people in power get to choose their voters, instead of voters getting to choose the people in power"

  • Yeah I wanted to check for that but didn't find it in ~60 seconds of clicking around

    But your question prompted me to ask Perplexity, who said:

    Estimating the active number of users on Dreaddit (usually called "Dread"), the darknet's Reddit-style forum, is challenging due to the platform's anonymous and illicit nature. However, several reputable reports, including cybersecurity analyses and investigative journalism, provide the most credible figures currently available:

    User Estimates: As of late 2023, Dreaddit/Dread reportedly surpassed 200,000 registered users. This figure comes from contemporary cyber intelligence briefings and video analyses, which note that while this community size does not rival mainstream platforms, it is substantial for a darknet forum accessible only via Tor or I2P.

    Growth and Activity: Dread reached 12,000 users within its first three months in 2018, and by June 2018, it cited 14,683 users. Since then, significant growth has occurred, with user counts likely fluctuating in response to cybercrime trends, law enforcement actions, and DDoS attacks, but reliable reporting indicates the active number has stabilized in the six-figure range since 2022.

  • That Battlefield Tsar one is indeed epic. I like programming to Epic music sometimes it feeds my fantasies. Plus the vocals are sufficiently muted and possibly not English so I don't find them distracting

    Fun fact that I wish had been more widely broadcast during the Pandemic:

    We were 100% sure the Moderna mRNA COVID vax was safe for pregnant women the very first day it was approved for general use.

    How?

    During the initial "first responders only" phase, when only EMTs, doctors, and nurses were getting vaccinated, there were several thousand women who had recently become pregnant but were not yet aware of it. Once they learned of their status, of course they were tracked much more closely.

    So we had a "natural experiment" at a scale far larger than most stage-3 human trials, of how the vaccine affects pregnant women and their babies.

    Executive summary: it prevents the mom and the baby from getting super sick, from having complications, and from death.

    IOW, while RFK is blocking pregnant mothers from getting mRNA vaccines due to health concerns and demanding studies, THE STUDIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE
