#CAQASTROPHE! The CAQ pissed away an inherited surplus on its wishlist, which didn't include healthcare spending, and now the CAQ healthcare minister says healthcare spending is becoming untenable... and 1M+ Quebeckers STILL DO NOT HAVE A FAMILY DOCTOR.

Quebec's health-care costs are becoming untenable, Dubé warns

Says this year's budget will be $60 billion, a 50-per-cent increase in six years.

but what did they do in these 6 years? Made sure they could reach that conclusion.

So... this was a fun compiler bug: the D8 Java to DEX compiler (part of the Android toolchain) eliminated a redundant field load if running the class's static initialiser was known to be free of side effects, which ended up accidentally depending on the sharding of the input, which is dependent on the number of CPU cores used during the build.

issuetracker.google.com/issues…

I made a small example to illustrate why this optimisation is only valid when the class initialiser doesn't have side effects (or the initialiser is guaranteed to have run already, which is the case for a base class of the current one):

Notice how the cryptotechbro edgelord response to problems is to colonise space and go to Mars.

So... migration.

Their immediate, knee jerk intuitive reaction to big problems in their environment is to migrate.

Yet hate migrants.

»Zu den folgenschwersten Irrtümern gehörte bisher, daß man der Jugend alles sie anscheinend Gefährdende fernhalten wollte. Nein, nahebringen muß man es ihr, damit sie richtig sehen und richtig denken lernt.

@SamantazFox I try my best, but unfortunately forget it far too often, apologies! Working on it – but as usual, I cannot promise what I'm not sure being able to fulfill ("will do so every time now")…

That said: thanks for your nudging me. It helps me to improve knowing there are people I'd help with that. And not "a vague group", but *specific* people. So yeah, keep nudging 😉

I know it's only November, but I'd like to make a request: if you are buying toys for kids in the next couple of months, and think you might have old ones that you want to clear out, please consider donating them before the holidays rather than after. Shelters and charities always get a glut of donations in January, but they'd be more useful to the families who need them now rather than then. Thank you.

I got the domain I'm using for my mails "used" a couple of years ago, so it was previously registered by another person.

There was a Paypal account tied to it and I constantly got the password reset mails until I disabled the address tied to the account.

This was annoying, especially since I had no idea how to get in touch with the owner.

Everyone should read the brilliant @emptywheel 's new piece on Musk and X/Twitter. We know what he has done over there is bad, but the depths of the criminal depravity can only be described as horrific. Empywheel has been on the case for over a decade, and has done a great job of laying it out here:

Gentle, biannual reminder that RSS is great and can be another tool in your toolbox to curate your online experience, improve mental health, and stay informed. It's also a much more accessible way to consume news if you have a client that handles full-text extraction.

Miniflux is fantastic. I have been running a private instance for years without issues, except when reddit blocks it.

On the Mac, you can use NetNewsWire, which uses the Googld Reader API integration, it works quite well.

The only reason why I am aware is because I didn't really want to read via the browser and Miniflux does not provide an aggregated rss feed to subscribe to. I really need to sit down one day and just send them a PR.

IMO, email / imap is a far better protocol for this than RSS. Unread statuses and the articles themselves sync between devices, so do folders, and it's all interoperable and supported by almost anything.

“Oxfam identified 23 superyachts owned by 18 billionaires and estimates the average annual carbon footprint of each of these yachts to be 5,672 tonnes, which is more than three times the emissions of the #billionaires’ private jets... This is equivalent to 860 years of emissions for the average person in the world, and 5,600 times the average of someone in the global poorest 50%.”
