My city councillor, Jasmine Mian, has announced that she will not be running for re-election this fall. I am disappointed because I thought she does a great job representing us, but I understand her reasoning.
I despise the actions of our provincial UCP government. They are actively ruining this province.

Dumb question for technical people.
HTML obviously does a form of inclusion with CSS and Javascript allowing you to factor out common elements of those two languages.
But it occurred to me that it does not allow the same for HTML, which seems odd on the face of it.
I admit I have not looked anything up on this so this is coming straight from my fever-addled brain.
Would allowing HTML inclusion be bad? Obviously the included doc would not be full html (no html, head, body tags).

Fun fact. Have you heard about the nasal cycle, an alternation of the amount and speed of airflow through either side the nose with a period of about 2.5 hours?
I had noticed it in myself forever ago but had never heard anyone talk about it until some day in the last 10 years I searched for it and found that it was a well-known phenomenon.
The scent sensitivity range benefit is something I only learned today as I read the Wikipedia article.

To be more pointed. Ostensibly the function of law and governance is to make sure everyone is playing by the same rules, rules that we all "agree to" in the compromising sense of the word agree.
But if the size of these non-governmental entities rises to be anything other than non-trivial, then it is possible for them to use the "common" rules to ensure that, in fact, there are two sets of rules: those that apply to them and those that apply to others.

Hypothesis:
Allowing the power and protection of sovereign "democratic" governments and the rule of law to be extended to human structures of arbitrarily-large size that are not sovereign governments (think corporations) is a fundamental failure of human governance, by definition, since it allows such structures to subvert any and all accountability mechanisms that give the sovereign democratic governments their legitimacy.
Discuss.

Hey Fediverse, I'm looking to get #fedihired.
Honestly I would prefer to work in an office environment in Calgary because it would help me focus. I also am thinking I want to work for an organization that betters the world and I'm ok with making less if that's the case.
I have tons of experience building, operating, and optimizing IT infrastructure, in particular hypervisors, operating systems, and storage, both primary and backup. I'm also good at bridging business and IT

You should watch the previous year's talk (2nd link) then this one, but I just have to call out this sick burn at 22:13 into the video (first link).
This is the group of hackers that helped a Polish fix their broken trains which turned out the manufacturer, sad that they lost the bid for the maintenance contract, put in code to brick the trains when being maintained anywhere but their own maintenance facilities (using GPS fencing).

I wish there was a way for the current operating system to ask the boot firmware (EFI or BIOS) what the keyboard key it will be expecting you to press to either get it into the boot list menu or the configuration menu the next time you boot.
Enough time has past since the last time I need to know this for this machine that all the possibilities blur into one and I can't recall the specific keys.

Curl sends the "Accept: /" header by default and simply dumps the response body.
Some web servers are configured to send the response with "Content-encoding: br" header which means brotli-compressed. That coupled with the lack of magic number led me on a wild goose chase.
Adding the '--compressed' option to curl solves this. This causes it to send an "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, br, zstd" header (whatever compression curl was compiled with I assume) and it will decompress no problem.

Curl does not handle unrequested content compression gracefully.
Today I learned there is a compression library/program called "brotli" (Brötli, Swiss-German bread roll).
The brotli file format apparently does not have a magic number.
Brotli is used as a compression format for web content-encoding (compare with gzip or zstd) and browsers support this.
I've only ever noticed gzip compression encoding before today.
