whirlwin commented on Why are 38 percent of Stanford students saying they're disabled?   reason.com/2025/12/04/why... · Posted by u/delichon

Maybe I'm too cold or cynical here, but I would make it compulsory to indicate the disability in the diploma with an annotation or comment.

Or possibly the other way around: "Completed degree on standardized terms "

This is how Heroku has been doing it for years since it started out 10+ years ago.

$ git push heroku master

So you'll have to make sure to push to e.g. GitHub as well for version control.

Steve Jobs is gone, so is the unique quality obsessed Apple we knew. Even on the hardware side, the AirPods reecks of poor quality since they break so easily

Can one also use AirPods for e.g. Google Maps navigation?

Does anyone actually use Podman on its own merit?

The only use case I encountered is people who want to run Docker without root or admin permissions and use Podman just as a drop-in replacement.

You're pointing out something important. I think it's feasible for the crowd who dislikes the overall direction Docker has been heading and need a simple drop-in replacement

Warp seems to have sponsored more or less every CLI tool these days- I don't think I've ever seen other companies advertised though somehow?

Do you have any real experience with Warp? Just curious to learn

That sounds vaguely terrifying!

Seriously tho, care to elaborate?

The socialists’ rallying cry has long been, “Finally, it’s ordinary people’s time.” But in reality, ordinary people have seen their wealth steadily decline, while the state has only grown fatter and richer. The slogan should be more honest: “It’s the state’s time now.”

Now the state has more employees and will continue growing to attain more power, and thereby more voters. Having worse public services than 10 years ago while the spending has increased drastically is a bad sign.

That being said, it'll have to get drastically worse before ordinary people realize where their money went, and then it might shift

For Norwegian situation, I can recommend the book "The country that got too rich" which in fact is very accurate. Socialism works to a point but if it continues to spiral into more aggressive socialism you will end up in a much worse place for everyone, this is where Norway is heading the moment unfortunately even though we are a social democracy on paper.

Would be nice if the browser tabs had a terminal pane inside. Usually I'm reading something in the browser that I want to immediately run via the terminal.

Pro-tip: For GitHub Copilot which doesn't yet support AGENTS.md, you can create a symlink if your GH Copilot instruction files are defined on a per-repo basis:

ln -s AGENTS.md .github/copilot-instructions.md
