Ron DeSantis tried to make a Florida college conservative. Now the students are fleeing.
  • That's not entirely true. There have been many very scientifically successful religious universities. That said, MAGA Christians are not the type that would create a free thinking institution.

  • HRW Confirms: Israel is Using White Phosphorus in Gaza
  • They will probably need it for illumination when the ground war starts but they definitely don't need it during air raids.

  • US says it is talking to Israel about safe passage for Gaza civilians
  • At this point, migrating them to the west bank and then just closing off the borders with Palestine would probably be best. Pull back the Israeli settlers, give Palestine any lands that are majority Palestinians, and just shut off contact with them. The two sides aren't going to come to a unified living situation in the next 100 years, so giving them plenty of space to be their own nation and treating them like any other nation would be best.

  • That would be in the west bank, not Gaza. Gaza has very steady borders and no encroachment for a long time and Gaza is where the attack came from.

  • Ride passengers rescued after dangling upside down, 75 feet up, for half an hour
  • There's simply no way to build in a backup system here. It wasn't a matter of getting them down but getting them out of their seats without falling. Even if it had a roof, you can't open the seats and have users dump out. Could easily kill someone

  • Deciding for ourselves: 98% of people want a browser choice screen, Mozilla study finds
  • Even having an opinionated choice would be better than what we currently have.

  • Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signs legislation to ban child marriage in Michigan
  • It's horrible but trying to force-ably separate them at this point would only lead to the minors being hidden from view, deepening the abuse. Additionally, the minors are highly unlikely to actually leave their spouse, no matter how bad their situation is. Adding fuel to the "society doesn't want us together" would only serve to deepen the minor's distrust in everyone but their spouse, making it much harder to help them from any ongoing abuse.

  • New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease
  • The real reason it takes time is because we try not to harm people even in experimental drug testing. It would be much faster to simply toss shit at the wall and see what sticks, but that's not exactly humane. So we have to find analogues that hopefully mimick humans will enough, but they don't really work well. So it takes lots of time to build up enough evidence with those preliminary tests to convince the safety board to allow human trials. Then trials have to slowly scale up to limit the amount of people harmed by unforseen effects with a lot of time between as the safety board reviews the previous results before allowing the next test.

    It's all good to do, but it does make development frustratingly slow sometimes. Especially when people are actively dying waiting for the new drugs.

  • [Rumor] Nintendo Switch 2 SOC May Be Produced on a 5nm Process Node; To Have Max Clock Speed Higher Than 2.5 GHz - Rumor
  • Hopefully they'll actually use an active dock with cooling this time rather than the simple stand that comes with the Switch 1.

  • [Rumor] Nintendo Switch 2 SOC May Be Produced on a 5nm Process Node; To Have Max Clock Speed Higher Than 2.5 GHz - Rumor
  • No but it does need enough performance to be capable of running games in low quality modes. The Switch is so anemic that many big budget games are simply not even trying anymore as performant running can't be achieved without complete rewrites of engine code. So a better Switch that is at least a low spec gaming computer will enable more big games to many the effort of trying to support it.

  • Twitter (X) loses over 30% of users in two months!
  • Probably no where. They likely just left Twitter and carried on with whatever else they were doing.

  • Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript
  • Yes but the support is very recent and hasn't been fully accepted yet. Therefore, I can't use it in enterprise. I have to wait for full adoption.

  • Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript
  • There are some cases where this is a serious issue that can't be solved through pure CSS. Once container units are finally approved though, that will solve quite a few problematic layout issues in CSS.

  • Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript
  • The fact that you're doubling down on your ignorance is quite problematic. Typescript is not an enterprise system that forms arcane JS. It's literally JS with a slight adjustment that allows you to say "also this is this type". You write JS the entire time and can "disable" the typescript at any location you need to not be typed.

  • Microsoft is removing WordPad from Windows after nearly 30 years
  • I'm amazed to hear people actually used word pad. It's such a horrible editor with extremely poor file type support.

  • Covid-19 has changed and so has our immunity. Here’s how to think about risk from the virus now | CNN
  • There's no political or social will for mass community measures. It would take a 1000 percent uptick in deadliness before we could even begin discussing sweeping shutdowns and masking. Like it or not, reality is that we can only do what we can on a personal level.

  • About 20,000 citizens are called up in Russia every month
  • The solution is plainly visible. They need to depose the tyrant. The problem is, too many of them agree with the tyrant. Yes Putin rigs elections but he's not inventing his support out of nothing. So until they can clean up their shit, it looks like they'll be sending their youth to the meat grinder.
