I'm so fucking sick of these attacks on human rights.
I propose the following course of action:
We pick a specific target and trash its value.
- Do whatever we can to make it lose money, customers, resources, employees, reputation.
- Do our best to make it toxic waste that investors won't touch.
- We make it easy for anyone to join the carnage.
- We keep hammering it until it dies or we get protections
Then we collectively pick another target and do it again.
And again.
Until the dying screams of US corporations reach the ears of those with the power to call off the attacks on women, minorities, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and everyone else this administration is going after.
When they stop, we stop, negotiate, and stand ready to start again if they don't follow through.
I suggest Tesla be the first to burn.

Woo hoo!
I jusy fixed a seam that was going in one of the pairs of sweatpants I wear for bumming around the apartment.
Was it a neatly done fix? No.
Will anyone ever see it though? Also no.
Hoping to keep working on stupid little stuff like this with the sewing machine to build up my confidence/skill to be able to tackle stuff that actually matters if it's done well.

Been looking for an alternative to Google Maps. Organic Maps (OpenStreetMap) is great, but it doesn't know the bus routes in my city.
I remembered that the GRT (local transit) website had a trip planner that I used to use in the pre-Google days. Decided to give that a go again.
Turns out they're just using Google Maps now. Understandable, but disappointing.
The Transit app is good, and while closed source is Canadian.

Edit 2: thanks to @CStamp we now know itβs poor marketing.

Also, do lists in #Python seriously not have a .map function?
Edit: Ohhh... I expected it to be a method on the list object itself.
Tech Cyborg reshared this.
Python map() function
The map() function is used to apply a given function to every item of an iterable, such as a list or tuple, and returns a map object (which is an iterator). Let's start with a simple example of using map() to convert a list of strings into a list ofGeeksforGeeks

@flyingsquirrel Yup. And there's a multiprocessing version which can be useful if you're doing a very large csv but you probably want imap() for that one.

multiprocessing β Process-based parallelism
Source code: Lib/multiprocessing/ Availability: not Android, not iOS, not WASI. This module is not supported on mobile platforms or WebAssembly platforms. Introduction: multiprocessing is a package...Python documentation
If you're looking for a function that applies another function to each element of a list and aggregates the results, it'd typically be done with a list comprehension:
[your_function(item) for item in your_list]
But you can also use list(map(your_function, your_list)) if you want. Basically, it's a built-in function rather than a method of the list class.
There's also a whole discussion to be had about lists vs generators and why you often wouldn't even need to make a list in the first place, but I won't get into that unless you want to know more.

could you help a black trans au/adhd plural gal out?
another month and more expenses. I still need to cover my bills, debts and trying to save something to save me from my imminently crumbling living situation if worst comes to be.
since I'll be mostly in vacation from college this month I'll be trying to put some projects in action so that I can try and get some money coming in.
my father did already start demaning another 200 USD for living expenses and I feel it in my bones that I'm just one step from him completely kicking me out of here for petty reasons so I do really need every penny I can get.
every donation helps immensely and so does every boost.

More dead tree spam from the Conservative party addressed to my father (who has never lived here). This one was labelled "compliance request" with a red military stencil looking font that said "URGENT: CODE RED". This speaks to the way they percieve the intelligence of their supporters. I weep for the state of politics in this country.
It got a big fat "return to sender".
Is there a way to tell #Emacs #org-mode to omit yhe TOC and headline numbers when exporting to a text or markdown file? I'm trying to implement a #JohnnyDecimal system, so I'm supplying my own numbers and the 00.00-index.org file essentially is the table of contents.

I got a new phone because my old one was giving out on me. This one is a decided downgrade from the last one, but that's (mostly) fine.
Anyhow, the new phone doesn't support wireless charging. Because of this, I can no longer charge it on the night stand breside my bed. When I wake up in the morning, my impulse in my half-awake state is to just grab my phone and go, forgetting that it's now tethered to the wall. This was not going to end well for anyone, most especially not my charging cable/port.
I charge it in the living room now.

I run a pretty tight budget. Twice a year, I get a fun surprise from my domain registrar (because I have two domains with them). They both come with a "free business card generator" that I have never used, but whatever.
Anyhow, every time a domain comes up for renewal, it's expected, budgeted, and paid for. All is good.
Then, about a month later I open my email and see an unexpected additional "receipt" from them. This sends me into a brief panic until I realize it's a $0 receipt for the business card bullshit.

This also tells people a lot about the sociopathy and hoarding money disorder in the 100 millionaire plus community. No human should be worth that kind of money. Assets should be deflated. And, a wealth line should exist akin to the poverty line. Nobody goes below poverty, and nobody goes above wealth.

R'amen! I remember just putting a small Biden/Harris sticker on my car in 2020 and got people flipping me off and screaming pro-Trump slogans at me while driving, getting honked at in parking lots from idiots with the huge Trump flags in the bed... and one night I had one of those big trucks practically on my bumper on a dark stretch of road while heading home from work.
Only had it 3 weeks. I wanted SO badly to put a Harris yard sign in my yard for 2024, but I don't have the money to maintain, let alone repair, anything that's damaged if someone objected. I am a blue dot in a county so red that many local positions have been unopposed on the ballot for over 20 years. Many flag-waving Trumpers around here. Sucks. My pro-science and nerdy bumper stickers get me plenty of side-eyes as it is.
