Been a fan since I saw that famous speech of yours years ago. Glad to see Iowa – a state my family has a long history in – producing leaders like you. Kick her out, Zach.

Yeah, bad idea. Hawkeyes are great for what they are, but what they are isn't the same thing as an E-7. Not an either/or question, but properly a "how many of each" question.

"Soldiers were seen purchasing clothing and tchotchkes, including "Make America Great Again" chain necklaces to faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything.”"

Imagine being a young soldier and having to do the math: Do I speak up to get swapped out and endanger my career, or do I not do so and compromise my principles?

That being said there are really only a handful of Dems in Congress who seem to be at all awake, and my reps here in Boulder are not among them.

For anyone curious: zsh, oh-my-zsh (and plugins), fzf/broot/bat/lsd/duf/ripgrep/mcfly. On Fedora KDE.

I am an aspiring wife guy, and I generally don't aspire to things that aren't very cool and awesome, so.

And just like that it stopped. Sorry everyone. Jinxed it.

Also, bonus new mysterious problems to solve. The promise of future distraction.

I used to built elaborate shade structures for use in the desert, and this idea - separating the main structure from another higher pane that would absorb/reflect solar heat without letting it hit the inner structure - was often a feature. Works nicely.

I think non-nvidia hardware has become more supported over time; CUDA's not the only game in town for GPU compute (OpenCL, e.g.). But it was an early big technology that a lot of software was built for (the 3D stuff I was using among them).

I stuck with nvidia because some of my GPU use cases require CUDA. Having a 3090 in this machine gave me enough CUDA cores and VRAM to do fluid sims with ease.

I've been running lots of linux systems for ages, but the vast majority haven't been on bare metal (except for pis). Biggest thing is I've got nvidia hardware, and for a long time nvidia support just wasn't great. Seems fine now.

I’ll still be able to boot into windows when I want an Age of Empires session or something, but hardware support in Linux is good enough now that I think I’ll live in Fedora most of the time.

I love the Onion, but I feel like this crosses a line.

But "...decides it has the right and moral authority to take its specific political disagreements into the streets" is not at all you speaking about violence, it's complaining that people are in the streets.

I suppose anyone in a bridge-centric city understands the love a community can have for its bridges. They're the essential thing tying the Bay's cities together. They're beautiful, and bringing light artworks to them is great.

I would love to see all of the Bay's bridges shining at night, the web connecting the bay's parts.

Not really marine-specific, but: Are you planning to teach from a text? The classic John Taylor "An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements" is a go-to for lots of folks, and is what I learned from ages ago.
