- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 1 week ago:
The other thing is, there are maybe 10% max of students who understand it on their own and it hurts forcing them to come to class (it’s department policy in my case). 80% don’t do shit but most are exam smart enough to pass. I wouldn’t give those any responsibility for any serious project at this point, but I don’t know how they develop after graduation. 10% are just lost.
Now try to design a course that accommodates all of them appropriately.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 1 week ago:
Consider yourself lucky if you haven’t been there in the times before systemd. It streamlined a lot of things under the hood that were stupidly varied among distros, like where certain configurations were placed. Really, nobody needed that and it broke a lot. Systems also introduced some sanity through service dependency awareness, e.g., which service needs to be running before the next can be started. You might find that obvious, but Linux was still stuck in the 80s on that level and essentially a guessing game.
That said, if you want to try something else, the most reasonable but quite involved alternative is probably guix with shepherd.

- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 2 weeks ago:
Learn from post war Germany. There is no need to be proud of your country. It’s all made up anyway. What do I have to do with 5 basketball players or 11 football players or whatever who just happen to speak my language? How can I be “proud” of their achievements? Doesn’t make sense at all

What kind of madman is gonna argue against waking? 😅 Get some sleep bro
But honestly: you looking for a hobby? Go cycling all you want. You looking to get somewhere? The place will not change position at random. You know where you want to go. In my reality bike or foot rarely better if I’m going to the supermarket or wherever. Just leave 10 minutes earlier and you’re good. In this kind of situation, your choice is between losing a few more kcals by walking or saving a few minutes by taking the bike. Both are good options, neither is going to make you fat or thin. If that’s your goal, eat less calorie dense food.

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I enjoy walking and don’t mind walking even for 40 minutes in the morning. Not every day, but if it fits in the schedule it gives me more movement in practice than a bike (also due to some local circumstances).
The point was more generally that walking is a great alternative. Everyone hypes bicycles, walking has no lobby and is one of the healthiest things to add to your day.
Also, if the goal is to lose weight, cardio is fine but only supportive at best. It’s way more effective to eat less calorie dense food than trying to run/bike it off. The difference between an hour walking and biking is negligible for most people compared to dietary changes.

You could also just walk whenever possible, burns more kcals/distance

Yeah, the point is they are technically not vegan so you have a supply chain issue with everything you consume.
Nitpicky, I know, and of course vegan+fossil fuel based supply chain (as long a I can’t do anything about it) is still good
