I’m not sure where you’re getting your information.
I work there, have worked there for nearly three decades, and I can tell you that it’s not the case.
(Also, it’s just NCSA for trademark reasons, without ‘the’ in front)

It did get a lot of funding from the NSF in the early days, but the federal government didn’t start pushing for public access to research done through grants and contracts until 2013. Before then it was only work done by federal agencies that was non copyrighted.
The National Science Foundation also didn’t start funding Mosaic until 1994, which was after CGI had been released.
NCSA gets a lot of its funding from the private sector with partner programs, the University of Illinois, and the State of Illinois as well.
Which women? What are their voting records? What experience do they have? Can they work with the other party if they need to? Are they respected by foreign leaders?
If it’s this election, are we sure putting them on the ticket will survive certain legal challenges?
Too many questions without enough answers.
Generally speaking though, no, I don’t think it would happen. I would totally support it, but I think there are too many misogynists out there. On the other hand, I never thought there would be a Black president either.
I found the whole copyright thing at Wikipedia for this image pretty funny.
Even the simplest research shows that NCSA is a state-funded agency (through the University of Illinois system), not federal. If that image is in the public domain, it’s not for the reason Wikipedia lists.
Here they’re pushing the “must be within 60 miles from the office” trope; I bet they’d say to drive in if it’s after hours.
Growing up we had two large mulberry trees in the yard, and every summer I was sent out daily to pick a bucket full of mulberries. My Mom made mulberry syrup, mulberry jam, mulberry clafouti, put them in fruit salad, and, of course, made mulberry cobbler.
This brings back memories. Thank you for sharing!
My worst feeling is “I tried that two years ago but couldn’t get enough people interested, so I dropped it…”
I was a manager, and another guy was a more senior manager in another division. We both did IT. For some reason he didn’t like me and/or was trying to get our services moved to him, so he went to our director every week for over a year to tell him made-up stories about me.
He eventually left after a lot of people realized he was a highly manipulative, but I still hear things that he told people as part of an explanation about why I was passed up “for this” or why I wasn’t right “for that.” It cost me a lot of raises, especially in cases where things were gossiped to other people and the source was lost. Now I’m only a manager in title, but my management responsibilities were taken away.
Unfortunately, I’m caught in a ticking trap – another 1.5 years and I retire with a full pension for the rest of my life. Losing that by leaving isn’t worth it (assuming I live long enough afterwards).
I’m a big fan of netdata; it’s part of my standard deployment. I put in some custom configs depending on what services are running on what servers. If there’s an issue it sends me an email and posts into a slack channel.
Next step is an influxdb backend to keep more history.
I also use monit to restart certain services in certain situations.
Same here. The most I get out of might be a pointer to a module that could be a better approach, but the code I get from ChatGPT is usually worthless.
I treat it as my water cooler talk, and maybe I’ll come away with a few new ideas.
It depends. For a movie, it probably doesn’t matter to me unless there was a really egregious transgression.
If i’m buying a painting to hang on my wall, am I going to think about the artist more than the piece when I see it? If so, that would ruin it for me and I wouldn’t enjoy the piece, so I wouldn’t buy it.
Of course, sometimes the controversy behind a work is the reason it’s appreciated – not the quality of the work.
I had this too, but mine went further. Eventually became burning, terrible pain down my arm – worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I spent six weeks on steroids, oxycodone, and gabapentin until I could finally get steroid injections directly into my spine.
Be careful, and get checked out for cervical spinal stenosis. You might be able to do some proactive stuff at this point.
Now my neck always hurts, I can’t feel my fingertips (especially on the right hand), and my right forearm sometimes feels like it’s on fire.
I like my pour over with steel filter more; it seems to have less bitterness than the press.
I wish it was database agnostic. And I’m slightly concerned about the version three rewrite.
It does look awesome, and I’ll revisit it to see where things are in six months.
Yup! Since 1993… Started Linux on my desktop and haven’t looked back.
I started back with kernel 0.12 and called it Line-ucks. I still do and people look at me funny, but it’s an old habit and I’m an old dog.
When Linus released his audio file it was already etched into my brain the other way. I do remember being joking that I’m glad his name wasn’t Pinus (like the genus for pine trees) after hearing him say it.
My favorite exchange on ChatGPT (back in March):
**You**
Tell me a dad joke.
**ChatGPT**
Why did the tomato turn red?
Because it saw the salad dressing!
**You**
Can you explain to me why that joke is funny?
**ChatGPT**
Sure, I'd be happy to explain why that joke is considered funny!
The humor in this joke comes from a play on words and a bit of misdirection. The first part of the joke sets up an expectation that there will be a serious or logical explanation for why the tomato turned red. However, the punchline delivers a silly and unexpected answer that has nothing to do with the actual reason for the tomato's color change.
The play on words is in the phrase "saw the salad dressing." The word "saw" can be interpreted in two ways: as the past tense of "see" (as in, the tomato observed the dressing) or as a cutting tool (as in, the tomato was physically sliced by the dressing). This creates a bit of confusion and a humorous mental image, which is why the joke is often considered amusing. Additionally, the idea of a tomato being aware of salad dressing is absurd and adds to the silliness of the joke.
We went on a bit further with me pointing out that their murder take was distasteful, and it responded that humor is subjective.
I set up LinkWarden about a month ago for the first time and have been enjoying it. Thank you!
I do have some feature requests – is GitHub the best place to submit those?
