@quixoticgeek I'm genuinely curious, how would you propose the world should work?

Updated my submarine cable backgrounder to include domestic links.

…A few posts above, I used the word “eon”.

If you web search for ‘eon’ what you probably get back is loads of results for E.ON.

Which is a German electrical ‘energy’ company that has appropriated the word. It takes the long-standing notion of deep time and imports into it sentiments of ‘E’ for ‘energy’, and ‘ON’ for *this thing is fkn ON, guys*.

Contrary to the root meaning of ‘eon’, E.ON has been going for just 26 years.

And it’s not an ‘energy’ company. It’s a *power* company…

@farah good luck!

Only 17, but I erred on the side of guessing I hadn't read a book if I wasn't sure whether I'd *really* read it or seen a film adaptation.

I will say some are undoubtedly culturally significant or even great works, without necessarily being a good read.

So I don't take the ordering very seriously: most of these might be somewhere in the top 100 choices of a set of people who've heard of most of them, but that is *much* less certain for the top 10.

@codinghorror It's so good , thanks for sharing.
Can remember when I heard most of these for the first time, admittedly as with a lot of music, first listening grabs you by the ears and throws you around a bit.
On that note I added The Toxic Waltz to my version :D

Interesting read from a game scenario's lessons, even if the outcome is disturbing.

> Forget the sermons about being committed to NATO’s Article 5. The single, underlying question is whether Germany believes that it’s worth going to war with Russia over the Baltics, even without U.S. help. Is there a genuine consensus on an answer to this question? Is Berlin willing, in the extreme, to endure Putin’s nuclear brinkmanship?

> Are Germans mentally ready for war?

JFC. During an oil crisis, when EVs are a lifeline, Congress is about to *put a tax on EVs*. Spectacularly stupid.

I like to imagine the surprise of a serious young person reading George Eliot for the first time.

God I resisted her for sooooooo long.

It was "literary" people, innit. They made me think it'd be "droll", or "Joycean", or "Proustean". DaFuq.

An unbelievably acute observer of actual humans, with just the right touch of wickedness of spirit.

The English canon is not unadulterated, but there are artists and works there that are astonishing.

#OtD 18 May 2020 police killed 14-year-old Black Brazilian, João Pedro Matos Pinto, in Rio. They then took his body 25 miles away and claimed he was killed in a gang battle. People protested declaring “Vidas negras importam!” (“Black lives matter!”) https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9034/jo%C3%A3o-pedro-matos-pinto-killed

AI coding agents tend to hardcode spacing in SwiftUI instead of relying on defaults. This can look wrong when a user adjusts their font size preference, making the UI too cramped. SwiftUI's default container spacing adjusts for Dynamic Type automatically, but if you do need custom spacing, consider using the ScaledMetric API.
