@dalias a gzip Quine.?

@dalias @koetje are folks who temporarily reside and work in another country considered “immigrants”? I have always associated an sense of intent of permanence involved in the term.

@dalias @arichtman StackOverflowed?

@mekkaokereke that is a strong statement from his mother. Much more realistic “tough love” than the nonsense pushed in the 1980s…

@mekkaokereke refreshing to see an actor portray a character so well you keep forgetting which actor it is…. I literally kept having to remind myself which role Colin Farrell was playing

@inthehands @SteveBellovin I’m not expecting to experience this anymore, but in the early 1980s, I moved from Houston, Tx to McAllen, Tx. Not long after a Hurricane hit Galveston and moved up to Houston, bringing me live OTA broadcasting from Houston…. Similar thing happed in the summer of 1989, but I had just relocated back to Houston..

@gwynnion it’s something that can be hard to accept, but constraints are frequently helpful in creating practical solutions. Necessity is the mother of invention and all…

@thomasfuchs massive own goal by the Weimar Republic

@thomasfuchs never underestimate how ignorant of history most Americans are. It’s so prevalent that it can come to impact immigrants as well…

@thomasfuchs disturbing thought for me: Corpos realizing embracing DEI was a strategic error — rather than leveraging an onshore supply of lower wage workers, it brought in workers more open to (if not downright supportive of) unions..

@thomasfuchs my guess is it’s a triage move

@eniko — not sure to what extent it will help, but ending the two-party system in US politics seems to be an important next step

@mattly I’m sympathetic. My take is that is an example of something that is pretending to be a nice thing.
