Sometimes it makes sense to act smart rather than brute-force.
For example, when Intel makes another #MKL release and you get version like "2026.0.0", and you need to figure out the remaining "-n" suffix for the .deb packages. And you really don't want to start a Debian container to figure that out.
Well, you could just keep brute-forcing until you find the right number. Or you can figure out that the index URL is #Gentoo

I’ve signed a letter calling for Andy Burnham to clarify his views on control or ownership of public services. Can you sign and share it as well?

Add your name to our open letter to Andy Burnham
Public control is not public ownership. Andy Burnham must clarify that he backs public ownership of life's essentials.

The financialization of the American electoral process is well documented.
Now two key progressive legislators are proposing a new law to do something about it. 
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Democratic Rep. Summer Lee (PA-12) introduced the
"Abolish Super PACs Act" on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
It’s a measure they say will eliminate one the primary ways billionaires funnel cash into elections: super PACs.
The bill would limit donations to super PACs t…

Sanders, Lee move to rein in super PACs amid growing billionaire grip on US elections
The bill targets one of the central vehicles for unlimited outside spending, as progressives warn that billionaire money—and broader threats of voter intimidation—are putting democratic elections under strain.

Prior to 1865, many Afro-Texans reclaimed their sovereignty and autonomy
-- well before the federal government acknowledged their basic humanity,
though there’s a dearth of centralized information about Black placemaking in Texas from this time.
This reclamation was called “marronage”
—a term borrowed from French for this act of antebellum self-emancipation.
The word most often refers specifically to runaway slaves, or “maroons,”

From the Plantation to the Thicket: Juneteenth, Black Freedom, and 'Marronage' in Texas
Freedom in Texas was achieved both after—and before—formal emancipation.

"Dr. Hoynes said that one possible explanation for the benefits seen in the Flint study was that the money enabled low-income women to access prenatal care earlier and act on advice to stop smoking, which is closely correlated with poor birth outcomes."
"While the cash-transfer sums were relatively modest, more than half of mothers in Flint earn under $10,000 a year.
“A $1,500 check for a poor person is a pretty good stress reliever,” Dr. Paneth said."

I wish Tucker Carlson was less well-trained in the forensic arts.
Heard him on Vox’s “Today Explained” being extremely precise in what he said, what he evaded, and where he steered his filibusters. And I hate the fact that some of it makes partial sense. If you accept his factual premises, he makes a LOT of sense.
I am not sure that it matters whether “young white men” are deluded or not, if they’ve all been convinced that they are being oppressed. People act on their beliefs, n…
