Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.

Último día laboral de la semana y del mes. Y ya tengo el recibo de haberes.

El curso que cogí sobre estadística me va a ser difícil hacerlo. A ver si hoy me pongo.

Je joue un peu avec XMPP voir si c'est assez confort pour le suggérer comme alternative à Signal (qui tournera pas sans douleur pour les gens sans smartphone).

Pour l'instant mon souci c'est de trouver aucun bon tuto pour gérer une salle. Autant en créer une, ok. Autant tout le reste, que ce soit l'encodage des échanges, la gestion de l'historique, les permissions des utilisateurs, voir même des trucs de base comme la description du salon. Nope je trouve pas... Je te tombe sur des bouts d'xml sans trop d'explications du comment-pourquoi T_T

ABOUT GEORGE W. BUSH
Dubya's grandda, Prescott, most likely bought his way out of a life in prison when his bank was closed down by FDR because he was the main banker to the Nazis.

this from the Guardian, back in 2004:

"How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power"
theguardian.com/world/2004/sep…

the Senator for Connecticut got away with it and that ushered the era of USA nazis hiding in plain sight, in and outside the government.

The Bushes are literal architects of American #Fascism

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's…

"I went to work for VICE, and made working at VICE part of my identity. I wanted the company to succeed so badly because I believed in what we were doing and I believed in the institution. I worked zillions of hours of unpaid overtime, took on side projects, canceled vacations and worked on vacations thinking that, if I did my job well enough, the company would succeed and we would get to keep doing what we were doing. I spent the vast majority of that time doing work that made money for an over-bloated apparatus that existed to make a bunch of middle managers and executives large salaries and bonuses."

The Billionaire Is the Threat, Not the Solution

Jeff Bezos is not the answer at The Washington Post. And billionaire funding is not the answer for journalism.

As an active federal contractor, Coinbase is prohibited from making political contributions, including to super PACs. This makes $50 million that they have contributed in violation of pay-to-play laws for contractors.

My first thought
man, we're so spoiled on Mastodon. There are like four #accessible web apps, multiple accessible IOS and Android apps, at least two accessible Windows apps (even if they both have some issues), and a couple accessible mac apps. As #screenreader users we can actually choose the one we like, rather than picking the one where the largest number of features actually work with a screen reader.

My Second Thought
Man, this should just be the default state of existence. #Blind folks need to demand more. But I get it, it's so easy to just accept the current state of accessibility as normal, and then be surprised by things that actually work.

I'm thrilled to announce my first blog post on my homepage. Finally, after months of setting my site up, I now have acquired ✨content✨. In this one I share my experience as a volunteer for the matrix conference 2024. Thank you again for this opportunity @matrix @plainschwarz
10/10 would do it again

Did you know undergrads at Oxford in 1335 were solving homework problems about objects moving with constant acceleration? This blew my mind.

As I explained yesterday, medieval scientists were deeply confused about the connection between force and velocity: it took Newton to realize force is proportional to 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛. But in the early 1300s, a group of researchers called the Oxford Calculators made huge progress in understanding objects that move with changing velocity.

They discovered something called the Mean Speed Theorem: an object moving at constant acceleration over some period of time goes just as far as if it were moving uniformly with the velocity it had at the middle instant of its motion!

That's really cool. But it gets better. They gave homework problems called 'sophisms' to the students of Merton College at Oxford. And in 1335, one of them named William Heytesbury wrote a book called 𝑅𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑠𝑚𝑠, which gives us a look at what these problems were like. Some of them required students to know the Mean Speed Theorem!

Later in the 1300s, Nicolas Oresmus in Paris gave a picture proof of the Mean Speed Theorem. For example, he pointed out that the triangle ACG below has the same area as the rectangle ACFD.

Why did it take so long for Galileo to rediscover this stuff? How did the knowledge of the Oxford Calculators get lost?
