the team behind material for mkdocs have built a new static site generator

i open their webpage and it lags my entire pc with, i think, this background animation of "moving lines". taking a screenshot took several seconds and chromium stopped rendering the ui at one point

any idiot can make an efficient static site. it takes pure brilliance to make it inefficient (why does it need 1 GB of GPU memory?!)

Any day when I visit the ant colony at the AMNH is a good day. It's like going to see an important visiting dignitary from the tropics. You can normally tell which chamber the queen is living in. That's where all the activity is. The colony has been in NYC long enough that she is the only ant who remembers what it was like to live underground or their home country. All of the workers have only know the museum.

It's a very healthy colony.

I always feel like it should have a name.

> The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) warned that over 57,000 families in Gaza are now led by women, facing extreme hardship amid collapsing shelters, winter rains, and limited aid.

“Most families still live in overcrowded shelters where hunger and disease threaten daily,” UNFPA’s Nestor Owomuhangi said.

“Winter rains and flooding are adding a new layer to suffering,” he added.

“People no longer ask for homes, education, or proper food. They ask for a tent, a small heater, or a light. Their expectations have collapsed, as devastating as any destroyed building,” Owomuhangi said.

Okay I'm a teacher, so let me break this down for you in the simplest terms possible.

Let's say I am teaching a math class. The subject is addition. I teach you how to add two numbers together to get a different number. Then I give you an addition assignment so you can try a few examples for yourself.

Student A writes "2+2=4". This is correct. Student A gets points both for having completed the assignment and for getting the answer correct.

Student B writes "2+2=5". This is incorrect. However, I can see that student B is trying to engage with the material. I can help student B understand their mistake and correct it for next time. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes.

Student C writes "2+2=-64,863,702". This is wildly incorrect, and the student will not receive points for completing the assignment. I can tell from this response that student C not only did not understand the material, but likely got frustrated and just wrote down any old number because they knew it was going to be wrong. I can still help student C. They're going to need a lot of assistance, but that's the job. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes, including suggestions for how to help the student engage more with the subject matter.

Student D writes "2+2=JESUS WANTS YOU TO DIE". This is obvious nonsense. It's not just that the answer is wildly incorrect. And it goes beyond the fact that the student did not complete the assignment. And it even goes beyond the fact that the student is not engaging with the subject material or my class. In addition to all that, they have also decided to insult me, make veiled death threats, and use religion as a pretext for it. Obviously I have to mark the answer wrong. But perhaps not as obviously, there isn't much I can do to help this student. They have chosen not to engage with the material, with me, or with the entire concept of learning in general. They looked at a math assignment and decided the best thing to do was insult and threaten the teacher. The best thing I can do for the rest of my classroom is pull this student out of class and try to place them in some form of therapy for whatever behavioral issues this student is clearly struggling with.

The Oklahoma U student who wrote the "essay" about her "demonic" trans science teacher is this last kind of student. She got the answers wrong. Very wrong. Her assertions were unsupported, uncited, and lacked scientific rigor. But beyond that, she just chose not to complete the assignment. The assignment was to write an academic argument about a particular scientific article. Instead of doing this, she chose to write a sermon. And if she had stopped there, she would have been in the same boat as Student C who decided that 2+2=-64,863,702. But she didn't. She decided to include in her sermon a number of insults and death threats, which were aimed directly at her instructor. And she did all this from a place of perceived religious superiority.

"TRANS PEOPLE SHOULD DIE GOD TOLD ME SO" is not an answer to 2+2.

She MORE than earned a zero on that essay. And if she had turned in that shit in my classroom she would have been taken off my roster and recommended to appropriate mental health services.

minio fanfiction:

> The petSite API enables users to "talk" to unstructured websites in the same way one would engage with a cat, moving the web world from a GET and POST paradigm to a PET and FEED paradigm. Applications can use petSite through function calling with additional logic. This can be combined with chained functions with multiple cat sites addressed at the same time.

> This means that application developers can exponentially expand the capabilities of their applications without requiring domain-specific knowledge of prey models or cat behaviors. This will dramatically simplify web application development while simultaneously making it more powerful.
