Deprecated vs. Depreciated vs. Obsolete in Software Development | Baeldung on Computer Science Learn the difference between Deprecated, Depreciated and Obsolete.

I also despise the new AI snake-oil salespeople, but tbf “deprecate” does have an additional tech-specific usage: www.baeldung.com/cs/deprecate...

This is my theory of how and why “corruption” became such a motivating force in the last century.

Rigging elections too often creates constituencies that might make an election issue of it. If the rigging becomes joined to some perceived policy loss, woe to the party doing the rigging.

Consider: maybe the cheating crisis in higher education relates in some way to seeing adults invoke excuses (e.g., COVID) to avoid responsibly for doing their jobs.

Anyone polling attitudes toward a bunch of system stuff (both parties, Congress, law enforcement, etc) on both sides of coverage of the Texas situation?

Mapping intra-party booth results at Tasmania 2025 Now that we have the final booth results for the Tasmanian state election, I’ve decided to add another chapter to a series of blog posts analysing the geographic trends of individual candidat…

Today's blog post is probably my favourite bit of analysis I can do for Hare-Clark elections - mapping out the relative support of candidates within the same party in an electorate #politas #tasvotes

Thanks for making this thread!

Do one with a lot of sides.

Wheel, not Jeopardy. Whatever. You get my point. It’s hot and smoky.

Actually, I’m going to change the channel because a company that doesn’t reward loyalty and seniority is a company I don’t like.

I know I’m late to the party on this, but Vanna White really should be hosting Jeopardy.

I need to make a snap decision. Is it time to throw away aluminum pots and pans?

Gerrymandering as strategy depends on at least two forms of stability: party choice, turnout propensity.

This goes hard.

Shake the beer before you start the chapter on the philosophical underpinnings of the VA Plan.

B will knock out your ability to do A.

Can’t wait for more red moon tonight as I eat government watermelon that tastes a bit too close to bubbalicious.

Mine had been “it’s called ‘artificial’ for a reason.”

As for higher ed, I really think the solution is to base assignments on close reading of one or very few texts.

I spent an hour last night asking “AI” questions about my book. Has anyone else done this? Try it out if not. Lots of wrong stuff came back.
