Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees

Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

Hunter Biden is still going after Jake Tapper 🍿😂

Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in 8 days. This after an unscheduled visit to the hospital- because he “likes getting check ups.” Thank God Jake Tapper (or as I like to call him- the Brick Tamland of his generation) is on the case hunting down clues in a book about my mom’s experience as First Lady four years ago.

Tons of furious responses to this, but many things that are objectively worse than AI or data centers, with as many or more visible harms, are not especially unpopular. The rapid backlash to this particular thing is a bit mysterious even if you agree the backlash is well-deserved.

Currently experimenting with flashing my passwords into a macro keyboard for one-key entry. Pros: At work, I have at any given time between five and fourteen individual passwords (dep on what I'm testing) all with slightly different insane requirements that must be changed every. three. months.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Some come with nvme storage now. If storage hadn't tripled in price, that might be a temptation. And btw, there is nothing more surreal than looking at the prices of drives I purchased THREE YEARS AGO and realizing I could pay for a year of tuition with a garage sale of my extra drives.

Anyone have any recommendations for Thunderbolt 5 computer docks? This is way too many choices after this semester and I need guidance. And some brain cells returned; Huffman and writing a python program to calculate derivatives with delta in an hour reduced the population I have available.

I am going to figure out how to script those if it kills me. No one should have to draw a goddamn binary tree backward just to encode a goddamn string. That's insane and cruel and who hurt you, Huffman? No one deserves having to draw a backward binary tree to encode a string: no one.

Sweet Pascal's ghost, do I hate Huffman and his goddamn binary tree. I can script everything but the goddamn binary values for each unique character that are derived from--of all godforsaken things--the routes between nodes in the binary tree from hell.

Color photograph of actor Mark Williams in arguably his second-most iconic role (after Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter film series), that of Father Brown in the wonderful British murder mystery series, “Father Brown.” He stands off-center in a lush field. In the background, there are trees and his hometown. He wears a black overcoat, black cassock, and priest’s collar, along with a wide-brimmed hat. He holds a curve-handled umbrella in both hands.
