Depends on why they're spending it that way, not whether they're spending it that way.

The problem is the "male re-education" and "recruiting women."

They should just have a recruiting budget and a re-education budget. There should be a way to determine the best spend of the money. Maybe one method of generating a nurse is cheaper, or produces a better quality employee. When you try to have the process generate "at least this percentage of [male/brown/etc] people" instead of just generate the most/best candidates, then you have DEI. The process doesn't produce the most, or best quality employees --it works to force an outcome that is unrelated to employee skill or best business practices.

It's not DEI.

When you're short on nurses, trying to invite men isn't DEI.

If we had plenty of qualified nurses, but hospitals made quotas saying that 20% of nurses must be men, that would be DEI.

It's replacing merit (let me sort for "best available nurse" and hire that person) with another attribute (let me sort for "male nurse," then sort for "best available nurse in the male group", and hire that person). If you hire the best available male nurse, you may have passed on the best available nurse. Given the demographics of nursing, seems likely.

Anyway, they're not talking about having a surplus of candidates, so that doesn't apply.

What is at risk for having moderate political opinions?

Yeah, but I'm not afraid of them, I'm afraid of the hate mob.

Why would you think the same genes control intelligence and skin color?

The genes that control skin color don't control fast twitch muscle, but we know sub Saharan Africans have more fast twitch than the rest of the world. What magic skin color gene affects fast twitch muscle? None.

It turns out, a population can select for more than one gene at a time. Crazy.

What we don't know is what genes individuals carry. That's why racism is stupid. Elon would agree.

Even if we agree with the premise that cutting funds to save people is the same as killing people (I do not believe this), those don't include how many deaths were reduced by cutting USAID. The funds wound up fueling awful things around the globe.

Once you factor in everything, the cuts are a huge net gain in my estimation.

People like to say things like this and present zero links. It should be easy to prove, but you'll link when he waved to the crowd or whatever.

... it's open source.

Presumably anyone who wants to trust it can audit it. You didn't have to trust it, you can see exactly what it does.

Because I don't believe what you just said about him. Literally not even one detail.

Can you explain? I'm not sure how to Google that.

Who's your pick?

You think billionaires are hoarders because the shares they own become worth a lot of money when they build successful companies?

Not everything, but a lot.

I don't anticipate replacing my payroll company, for instance.

In my very small business, the supply of software has gone up (I'm building things), and they're custom to my business--so highly useful. Moreso than any off the shelf product could hope to be.

Because I'm confident nothing will happen if it does

Paper. They're just writers, after all.

Just change the idea that vim is the IDE. It's tmux/terminal. That gives you access to thousands of tools right inside your IDE.

There's a ton of tools for viewing diffs. I just pipe the diff into a viewer with vim-style navigation.

Finding files in vim is great, with the "ctrl+p" plug-in .

I have one: don't.

Tmux is basically perfect software. It gets right out of your way.

It'll never come out of my development stack, or workflows.

Writing code isn't everything. Almost every time I start an apt command or something that might run a little while, I regret it if I'm not in a tmux session.

I could sooner do without vim than tmux.

I have it, I live in a very rural place.

I've had to reset the router 3 or 4 times in two years. I don't suffer outages even in thunderstorms.

It may be slow compared to fiber or something, but it's the fastest steam game downloads I've ever had personally (no big city life).

But reliability has been almost 100%

It's okay, she's just less effective.

Codex isn't in charge of that.

Just use termux on your phone and connect to a tmux session on your server.

Codex won't know the difference.

When kids break the rules about screen time, there are consequences.

Not Dad fiddling with the settings, but instead Dad teaching a lesson about respecting the rules, and doing what you said you would do (children agree to obey the time limits in order to have access to the device).

How Dad should teach the lesson varies by family and by child.

Try discipline

What does the acronym stand for

I started last year. I had most of the tools already. I picked 90s ford trucks as my platform: cheap, plentiful, variety of models, known to be reliable, easy enough to work on with simple tools, parts still readily available, lots of YouTube material for any job I need to do.

I bought a couple and I've already had to do a lot of work.

It turns out, it's not that difficult. The systems are simple, each on their own, with few exceptions. When you isolate systems, you can just learn one at a time without pressure to be a whole mechanic. I still reserve the right to send it to the shop if needed.

I haven't had to rebuild an engine yet, but I've been all around the wheels, tires, axels, AC, fuel system, timing, vacuum lines, trailer wiring, brakes, coolant system, and of course I service all my own fluids.

I put it off way too long. My advice is to start now, if you think you'll like it. And you can start with mowers...a whole lot of the tools and concepts transfer.

One of them can change the OS, one of them can't.

As a kid I liked the interfaces that lagged badly, but still accepted input perfectly.

It felt like I was racing. Type the whole message before the screen updates? Check.

I miss AOL sometimes.

In coding we usually change it to "cheap, fast or correct: choose two"

I reject your correction: I present the options as nouns, not modifiers to the work. Maybe I should say "Cheap, Fast, or Good" as a compromise.

Sounds like your definition of better is pretty narrow.

Quick and cheap are two of the three fabled: "Fast, cheap, and good: choose two"

Where are you, roughly?
