“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

- Harry Truman

As Trump proves often, the reverse of this is also true.

It’s amazing how much you can fuck things up when the only thing you care about is getting the credit.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I totally agree with all your points. Callable interfaces always felt off for me but never truly stopped to reflect why. You systematically answered to all my doubts.(I also suspect that having many small callable objects might not be great performance-wise.)

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

​A political cartoon-style meme featuring stylized maps with faces drawn on them.
​At the bottom is a map of the United States patterned with the American flag. It has a highly distressed face with crossed-out eyes and is depicted using two cartoon arms to repeatedly stab itself with knives, surrounded by pools of cartoon blood.
​Above the US, looking down at the self-stabbing, are two larger maps: on the top left is a solid red map of China with a shocked and concerned expression, and on the top right is a blue map of Europe (featuring EU stars) with a blank, wide-eyed stare. Between China and Europe sits a tiny, battered-looking map of Russia.

The internet wasn't a mistake.

It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information.

The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.

In Defense of Operation Market Garden A Bridge Too Far? Or a Bridge Too Far!

Because we have gotten so much “Operation Market Khargen” or “Operation Kharg Garden” discourse (depending on who you ask), I felt compelled to defend the honor of Market Garden, Bernard Montgomery, and our glorious airborne brethren. My latest⬇️

To be honest, as an Italian I really can't complain. We are doing pretty well in many sports (tennis, volleyball, even baseball!) right now and consistently outperform at the Olympics. Much, much better than when we used to be good only at football.

Yes. I wrote a C extension that uses OpenBLAS to implement 2D convolution using im2col+GEMM+col2im. How would you write such an extension in a performance focused way that is compatible with both MRI and JRuby? Without duplicating the code, I mean.
