Electoral-vote.com Track the 2026 Senate election with a red/blue map of the US updated daily using the latest state polls.

Today during the interview in #Nerdearla with Andrew S Tenenbaum, I learned that he has a website about politics.

Yes, the creator of Minix, writer of many books and teacher for us from CS, has a political blog with a lot of data.

As a nerdy guy, Apollo 11 mission marks what science, technology and people can do working together.
Friends are those who can support you while trying.

Go to celebrate!

It was because Enrique Febbraro, a dentist, teacher, etc. He recognized the day as symbol of union and friendship among people.

He started to send letters to his friends, then was very quickly adopted and replicated by others and was declared Dรญa del Amigo few years later in Buenos Aires.

As argentinian is one of the best events, the Moon Landing for us started our tradition of Dรญa del Amigo (friends day). There is no excuses, we spend the day or a dinner or something with our friends, we celebrate that.

We salute all cooperatives today, and workers everywhere who are are bringing to reality a more open, fair and inclusive solidarity economy.

In this special year, let's reflect: How can we incorporate cooperative values of democracy, equity, equality, and solidarity into our organizations and communities?

Cooperatives are not just businesses! They are social transformation movements that prove another economic model is possible.

From agricultural co-ops connecting local producers, to financial co-ops democratizing access to credit, to housing co-ops opening paths to homeownership, to worker cooperative associations (like us!) providing services and solutions to community and peers, cooperatives are building a better world.

Why do cooperatives matter more than ever?

They democratize the economy, redistributing power and creating shared prosperity.

They drive sustainability, prioritizing people, planet, and purpose over pure profit.

They strengthen communities through local investment and sustainable development.

Celebrated under the theme โ€œCooperatives: Driving Inclusive and Sustainable Solutions for a Better World,โ€ this day holds special significance in 2025, the International Year of Cooperatives.

Copyright Cases Should Not Threaten Chatbot Usersโ€™ Privacy Like users of all technologies, ChatGPT users deserve the right to delete their personal data. Nineteen U.S. States, the European Union, and a host of other countries already protect usersโ€™ right to d...

A badly misguided court order in a copyright lawsuit requires OpenAI to store all consumer ChatGPT conversations indefinitelyโ€”even if a user tries to delete them.

does anyone have the feeling of: the more senior you get the more youโ€™re sure you should never give a talk on anything you have done well because all doing the thing has revealed is that you know a lot less than you thought you did about the subject (as a consequence of learning about it)

The fact that these protest signs can be translated and used in a completely different hemisphere from where they were originally created speaks to the scale of the problem

The 1st one says: "Make being a fascist shameful again"

The 2nd one says: "Being a son of a bitch needs to stop being trendy"

Look how Washington is looking at you...

Look how Washington is looking at you...

This guy rejected the idea of being a King with unlimited powers, even when it was granted.

Read history books, protect their legacy, condemn what is wrong and encourage what is good.

Our continent has a nice tradition to kick out monarchs from our territory. Embrace tradition.

The worst part is that I cannot share what I did because of copyright, but people trying to do the same will need to do it again in the future (and probably by hand) and Im not seeing this publisher moving to open the engine for other devs.

What a pain in the ass is to transfer data from RPG sourcebooks to VTT software.
It is 2025, publishers should be giving the datasets with the sourcebooks or at least collaborate with VTT developers.
I spent the last week running scripts to migrate a big sourcebook from an UK publisher.

Map of public libraries in Chicago

Map of public libraries in Chicago

After almost a year in Chicago I got my lib card last weekend. I almost cried. I came from Buenos Aires, a top 3 city with more bookstores in the world, but not so many public libraries

This is something to be proud of and should be something to stand for more. We need more libraries in the south
