Be mindful of using terms that are widely recognized as racial slurs.

> An autocratic, single party state where the government is so popular that they need to rig their elections against themselves to get dissenting voices.

It's not a single party state. Over 1/3rd of Singaporeans vote for the non-PAP candidates.

At risk of going off-topic, when I see comments like these, I wonder how the comment author comes up with these corrections (cross-checked, the comment is in fact true)

Did you have the number memorized or did you do a fact check on each of the numbers?

What's their end game here?

What is Microsoft gaining from their push to passkeys? They knew this was going to piss off a lot of people, but they went ahead with it anyway. That makes me believe there's something else at play.

My experience with passkeys has been worse that my Bitwarden password auto complete, so needless to stay I'm sticking with my regular passwords on my Bitwarden (I know Bitwarden has Passkeys support. I don't want to use it)

In his last lecture he mentions that the best part of teaching is when a student sends them a photo of a rainbow 10 years after graduating, saying that they remember the whole physics behind it.

Same for me. I think of the cones of light being formed when I see the rainbow and that amazing lecture.

This is interesting. When we talk about interstellar travel in the far future, this may be another issue to consider. The handover of knowledge will have to happen over at least a few generations. It will end up being a software application whose development and upkeep sprints/projects will be measured in multiple years instead of weeks.

No. ~etc is equivalent to /home/etc. ~/etc is the same as /home/<current user>/etc.
