Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided -- wisely -- not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.
Macron's party got disastrous results and got trounced by the far right in the European elections.
He had been selling himself as the shield that protected France from the rise of the local far right party. With these results, he has lost his credibility, and therefore his government did as well.
Therefore he's calling out-of-schedule French parliamentary elections that -- I assume -- he hopes will reelect his party and allies ahead of the far right. It might work: the far right party polls strong at around 30%, but has few allies, and may not be able to form a coalition government. If Macron himself can, that will strengthen his legitimacy.
Needless to say, this is a risky gamble.
Probably it's just that the Google crawlers are not being served Twitter content, since Twitter now requires a logged in account. If so the number of indexed tweets should keep dwindling as they expire from the Google index, I imagine. We'll see.
I wonder why people are downvoting your comment. It's literally what happened. See for instance this paper on the history of gender segregation in the Olympics: https://theworld.org/stories/2016-08-17/see-120-years-struggle-gender-equality-olympics.
Quote: "Margaret Murdock from the US won a silver in a tie in the 1976 Riffle Event, one of the events in the shooting categories. The rifle event was split into men's and women's events in 1984."

Presumably the My Little Pony comic. I haven't read it but I understand it likes putting in references that will amuse adults.
The actor in the picture on that site looks like Richard Harris, not Michael Gambon. -_-
Considering it's a reference to Monty Python's Life of Brian, I'm gonna go with yes.
Everypony.
An oft overlooked option that leaves no one indifferent.
Sorry, I should have been clearer: his party scored badly in the EU elections, so he lost credibility in France and is calling snap elections in France. I'll edit my comment above to clarify.
Go fash, lose cash. 👍🏻
He's an African actually, look it up.
Looks like an encoding problem, not a font problem. Make sure your terminal is configured to use the UTF-8 encoding.
FINALLY a version of this meme I can upvote.
In a way, I think: Little Miss Sunshine.
A movie wherein everything, everything goes horribly wrong, and yet in the end you're left feeling absurdly good.
Google has literally been reporting billions of net profit every quarter.
This is about appeasing shareholders. The capitalist class hates that tech employees have been able to command decent salaries and has been striving to push back for a while now.
It's difficult to answer without a better understanding on your customers' workloads and how those trigger your outages. There's a bunch of valid angles from which to look at this.
If your product consistently buckles under customer workloads that they paid to be able to run, it sounds like you have either an underprovisioning or an overcommitment problem.
If you accept customer workload spikes that you don't have the resources to serve but would be able to process if they were more spread over time, it sounds like you have an admission control problem.
If it's a matter of adding resources to respond to customer activity spikes and you just have to do it manually, it sounds like you have an automation problem.
If your pager load is becoming such that you can't do project work to address whichever ones of the above are relevant to you, it's time to hand the pager back to devs. If you don't have the institutional authority to hand back the pager to devs, it sounds like you have a management problem.
Astounding, isn't it? That's publicly traded companies for you. The company's objective is to keep its stock up and up and up. That means shareholders must want to keep buying the stock, which in turn means that the company must demonstrate that its value will keep growing, so that by buying the stock today the shareholders will get a positive return tomorrow.
Of course, the universe is finite and no growth is forever. The end state for such companies is not bankruptcy, at least in the immediate, but, more or less, the IBM fate: a previously uber-dominant mastodon whose market capitalization is now worth maybe one tenth of its modern competitors. The fact that it's still turning a profit is only secondary: none of the big tech shops want to be the next IBM. Their executives are, after all, mostly paid in stocks.
And that's how you end up with companies that are making amounts of revenue you and I can't even comprehend flail in a panic like they're on the edge of the precipice whenever the technological landscape shifts.
It's both fascinating and remarkably dumb.
I mean, you have people in your life who actually like you. I don't know if the same can be said of Trump.
Normalisation absolutely helps, yes. All the monstrous GOP rhetoric hinges on othering trans folks. An emoji is a tiny step, but every little helps. Unironically thank you for asking, that was actually an excellent and important question.
Empirically: they are.
I don't know what it is about it, but this picture is absolutely gorgeous.
I am highly doubtful trump would be worse.
Lol.
A CPU performs operations like "read a small bit of thing from the memory into the CPU" and "do a small bit of computation on things inside the CPU" and "put a small bit of thing from the CPU into the memory".
Doing small bits of computation on things inside the CPU is very fast but moving bits of things from or to the memory is slow in comparison. In order to not be slowed down, CPUs read the code ahead of what is currently being executed, and try to guess what is going to happen and what will need to be moved from the memory into the CPU, so they can do it ahead of time, and have the small bit of thing from the memory already available right there in the CPU when it's time to do a bit of computation on it. That way, there is no need to wait on slow memory, and the CPU runs much faster overall. That's a good thing.
In this case, a researcher found a way to make certain CPUs guess what is going to happen with the code wrong, in such a way that the small bits of things that were read from the memory ahead of time do not get properly cleaned up, and can still be found inside the CPU by another program. Those small bits of things might be your password or banking details, so that's bad.
We've got a perfectly good planet right there under our feet and we're failing rather spectacularly at keeping it functional, so as things currently stand the idea we could go to a dead planet and somehow turn it livable is, at the very best, dubious.
If you are interested in the topic, Kelly and Zach Weinersmith of SMBC fame have a book coming on this very subject: https://www.acityonmars.com/.
Pern!
Although the person who picked the Culture is absolutely on to something.
Moovie night.
Yeah, definitely the vibe has changed. It's kind of sad.
If you are considering picking up Outer Wilds, by god, go in blind. It's all about finding out.
Interesting deep dive and very much worth a read. I'd say it probably underestimates the weight of finance-related pressures coming from the CFO's office, though.
It will, however, be far better than not doing anything.
Signed. Thank you for circulating this!
I think it's a new thing where the browser does the profiling locally, and supposedly without allowing sites to track you anymore. But of course the sites can still ask the browser for your personal interests in order to serve you ads, so I couldn't tell you why they think this is any better.
Spoilers. ❤️
But seriously, maybe it just didn't work for you and that's okay. Nothing is everything to everyone.
Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)
I don't know why you are getting downvoted. This is a very valid and interesting point. Durable improvements are systemic, not individual, and the drive to look for heroes leads to nasty places.
"Read the fucking room Mal" deserves to become a thing.
Well, damn. What sad news. :(
Vast question. Finding out who you are is a lifelong process.
My thought: "male" and "female" are, in fact, abstract ideas, simple labels that each imperfectly, awkwardly covers entire, partially overlapping universes of complexity. And in practical reality, no one is all the way in either universe to the entire exclusion of the other.
So perhaps you are fine in a masculine body enjoying feminine-coded traits and activities. Perhaps the body shape that you would like to see in the mirror fluctuates with time or with your mood. Perhaps you are fine with your genitals but would like to have breasts, or perhaps you are fine with your chest but are thrilled by the idea of a vulva between your legs. Perhaps you would love the way you look and feel in a skirt and high socks. Perhaps you just thrive socializing and belonging in groups of women. Perhaps -- likely -- none of the above, but something else, something lovely I can't even begin to imagine. Only you can find out.
Ultimately all labels are, to some extent, bullshit. Each human is a rich multitude that defies naming and containment. I hope you love whatever it is you end up finding out are.
