I've always had an easier time jumping into an oop code base, then eg a lisp one.

I hear people when they say they don't want their data mixed in with their logic but The pressure to structure code Is very nice.

I just wish people weren't so aggressive with politics.

I've noticed a severe lack of perspective and empathy in these communities which has greatly deterred me from engaging.

Reddit was bad as well, but it seemed to attract a more rounded and informed community at least in the early days. Probably a function of fragmentation more than anything.

I love this discussion because it's a complex issue.

I suppose I stand on the side that maybe she should have just delivered them. It's just words and individuals can throw garbage in the bin pretty easily. I sure as shit wouldn't want anybody filtering my mail.

OTOH, "got a job to do" is a weak justification for unethical behaviour.

Put me down 3:2 in favour of delivering the things I guess.

Dial it back a bit. Many drug dealers are just trying to earn a living and many sell high quality safe products responsibly.

Most drug dealers I know have in fact never carried a whale carcass home.

I would like to think that these hotlines are helpful.

I have experience with somebody calling a sexual abuse hotline and being told to " Work less and go outside tomorrow".

This was a crisis situation and the advice was woefully inadequate and unhelpful.

Overall, I'm sure access to a hotline that is monitored with people who are experts at dealing with these situations is a good thing. I doubt they're funded very well though.

Some of these are going to be a bit of a challenge, but let's put down some keywords you can look into.

  1. Airsonic or jellyfin in a docker container

    • I also recommend a container with lidarr etc. and a qbitorrent locked into a VPN
    • smart playlists may take some playing around with, however playlists are just a text file, so in a pinch a python script will do basic things.
  2. This one's easy, I use rsync / unison with termux, there's also syncthing.

    • No clue with Apple. Jellyfin and airsonic stream well to it though
  3. Nope, if this is a deal breaker, stop now. If your flexible however:

    • Excel: python, Jupyter, R and libre Office
      • Rmarkdown will produce reports
    • OneNote: Joplin, Obsidian, Dokuwiki, tiddlywiki etc (see r/pkms on Reddit)
    • Word: markdown with vim, vscode Emacs and then pandoc
  4. Immich, shotwell, F-spot photoprism and I think there's another KDE tool that has AI

    • I'm very happy with immich, it does require docker, which is worth it imo.
  5. Scanners do work, but I don't know how you'll connect it with Evernote.

Self hosting is your pathway to a tech background.

University for comp sci, in my experience around the space, is a complete waste of time. Just a piece of paper that may or may not equip the recipient with some skills that may or may not be relevant.

In most common law jurisdictions, the executive branch doesn't require even a victim, they merely need the elements of the criminal offence satisfied.

Not sure about the US, likely they need her to strengthen the case and won't bother without her witness testimony.

Whilst this is absolutely true, I think it's more constructive to focus on the failure in design that led to the confusion in the cockpit.

There is no doubt that children in the cockpit contributed to the incident, but that incident could have happened with some other distraction.

The failure for the aircraft to correctly notify the pilot of the change in autopilot configuration was clearly very dangerous.

IPSC is common around the world.

My favourite part of threaded platforms is the arbitrary and tangential discourse
