Stephen Kotkin 教授說，「西方」不是一個地理概念，它是一個制度包裹，包含憲政民主、法治、自由、人權。所以俄羅斯有一半在歐洲，但並不屬於「西方」，而日本在亞洲，卻是「西方」陣營。

所以如果你實施憲政民主，崇尚法治，重視自由人權，你自然會是「西方」的一部分。

然而台灣有一群人跟西方是格格不入的，這群人眼睛望著極權中國，對憲政民主、法治毫無概念，隨手破壞也不覺得有什麼問題，而這些人還有相當數量的選民支持，對他們破壞法治的惡行也不覺得有什麼問題。所以我覺得台灣其實還不完全是「西方」，台灣選民整體好像還沒有做出最終的決定。

On old Twitter, there used to be a pretty vocal and thriving community of academics in various disciplines, as well as people who were learning from them and current grad students when it comes to applying for grad school & prep programs.

Things seem more silent here (with the exception of EECS and physics, perhaps).

Unscientific poll: How many of y'all grad school seekers are here?

そもそもわたしが原稿にLLMを使うってネタ出しにひたすら壁打ちするとかプロット段階を見せて褒めさせる、とかなので、一般的な「生成AIを原稿に使う」とは違う可能性がある。

Why do the wise guys over at the orange site keep feeling the need to say that is dead and that Raku killed it? Sometimes there's also a mocking jibe at Raku as well.

"Live, and let live" people!🤦🏽‍♂️

My motto for 2026 is going to be:

"Use things that people love to dunk on".

This includes things like Raku, Common Lisp, Emacs, Perl, C, OpenBSD...

$5 whale listening hydrophone making workshop

Dinacon 2025: Passive Acoustic Listening

Whale songs were first noticed by accident, when analysts tracking Russian submarines at the height of the cold war heard cetacean interference instead. An engineer sent some recordings to Roger Payne, a biologist friend of his, who did something that proved pivotal: he played the hours-long recordings on his hi-fi at home, while he went about his day. By listening for hours at a time, Payne noticed that these vocalizations weren’t simple chirps, but complex structured social patterns — songs, even.

The are fluent in English of course, as is @destatisStatistisches Bundesamt For an international audience this of the latest population projection for Germany can be linked to English independently of browser localisation. Also – unlike the – use your opposable thumbs right away on your smartphone. The age pyramid now has feature parity at all sizes.

Two new mastodon plushies look at a population pyramid of Germany in 2057 when they themselves may have children. While the outline depicts the default model, the much narrower pyramid is of a hypothetical model calculation with zero net migration.
