- Comment on How do I host a site for sharing notes for peers? 2 days ago:
Nextcloud might handle what you want. There are a zillion places that offer hosting for it, or you can self-host it. MediaWiki is another possible choice, that despite the name is more document oriented and less media oriented than NextCloud is. Again, you can self-host, or there are commercial hosts for it. Lots of VPS providers also offer one-click installers for it.

- Comment on If I wanted to make and distribute videos without profit motivate, but also with no or minimum expensive, what would be the best platform? 6 days ago:
Someone suggested AWS S3 but that is ridiculously expensive. How much viewership do you expect? Self hosting is not that expensive unless you have big volume. Or you could just seed some torrents. I would stay away from “platforms” since afaict they all have the same disease as youtube, just in its less advanced stages.
- Comment on in the return of the king movie, when Pippin looks in the palantir, why does gandalf ask him if it was minas tirith that he saw? 1 week ago:
Thanks, that’s good info, though I was never really interested in the movies to begin with. I saw the first one mostly through getting dragged along by some friends. I don’t have that big a problem with deviating from the finer details of the book’s plot lines. It’s mostly that the movies couldn’t (or anyway didn’t) capture the books’ sense of grandness.
I liked this a lot, a fanfiction where Harry Potter finds himself transported to Middle Earth. There are actually quite a lot of those but this one is particularly good. Warning, it’s unfinished, though it doesn’t stop on a cliffhanger or anything like that.
- Comment on in the return of the king movie, when Pippin looks in the palantir, why does gandalf ask him if it was minas tirith that he saw? 1 week ago:
I didn’t see the movie but semi remember that scene from the book. Pippin saw Sauron, and seeing Minas Tirith would have revealed Sauron’s location, always good intellligence. I don’t remember what Pippin reported about it though.
The book is a momumental classic. I saw the first of the three LOTR movies and thought it was ok considering what it was trying to do. It could have been lots worse. But still, I didn’t feel particularly interested in seeing the other two movies. Maybe I’ll re-read the books sometime. It’s been ages. These days, lots of fanfics are longer than the LOTR books, since they no longer have the limitations of printing on paper.
- Comment on What happens when a prominent person is assassinated and the perpetrator cannot be identified? 2 weeks ago:
Old joke: Conspiracy theorist Ted Tinfoil dies and goes to heaven and gets to meet God. God welcomes Ted to the afterlife and asks if he has any questions. Ted wants to know who killed JFK. God says “it was Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone”. Ted says “oh no, the cover-up goes all the way to the top!”.
- Comment on to those of you not very talkative / introverted, how do you survive the constant pressure and misunderstandings from coworkers and future employers to open up, talk more? 2 weeks ago:
If your management can’t understand “I’m not an extravert”, they are the ones who lack empathy.
I’ve been around medical people a fair amount over the years. Nurses vary but yeah they do tend to be outgoing or at least solicitous. Doctors on the other hand are often total nerds, almost like the stereotype of programmers. Of course, being a programmer, that’s the type of doctor that I like. If you want to stay in the health field, maybe consider medical school for when you can swing it.
There is such a thing as empathy training: kffhealthnews.org/…/efforts-to-instill-empathy-am…
www.apa.org/…/feature-cultivating-empathy
wolterskluwer.com/…/how-to-show-empathy-to-patien…
www.nursingprocess.org/empathy-in-nursing.html
There is a specific article I remember from one of the KFF sites and those links came up while I searched for it. Unfortunately I didn’t find the one I was thinking of, but maybe it will turn up later. What I liked about it was that it was aimed at nerdy doctors (it was from an internal newsletter for KFF workers, though on their public site), so it was expressed in precise terms. I learned useful things from it myself.
You can find plenty more with fairly obvious web searches.

Look up “British Commonwealth” on Wikipedia. They rebranded from “Empire” post WW2 or so.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 3 weeks ago:
Non sequitur, there are many analyses of the party change and they don’t all boil down to left vs right.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think anyone shifted right. They just didn’t want whatever it was that Harris was selling.

Vance becomes president. Whether you party is up to you.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 weeks ago:
Left of the US Senate center, or maybe the Senate Democrat center. Not the whole US. And I mean in the 1980s, not now.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely not. Type “Lamont Lieberman” (without the quotes) into a search engine for more info. Also “Clinton puma”.
- Comment on Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class? 5 weeks ago:
Anyone who actually does their homework knows Democrats are far and away the party of the working class compared to Republicans.
“Compared to Republicans” is a pretty low bar, just sayin’ :).

The High Table sends an adjucator with a special type of haircut. I think the hair style has a name, but I don’t know it.
- Comment on Why is it difficult to get low-level remote jobs 1 month ago:
Try charging more so people will take you more seriously. That works surprisingly well a lot of the time.

Those sorts of jobs are filled from low-wage countries.
- Comment on Did Trump vote? Could he have? 1 month ago:
Florida isn’t one of those states though, but on the other hand Trump’s felonies are from NY and are under appeal. So OP’s question is interesting.

ELIZA? Or maybe just a rubber duck as used by programmers.
- Comment on (In Python) Can you save an object that is in memory to disk and reload it at a later time? 1 month ago:
The quick answer is to use a serialization/deserialization library like pickle. You can’t just dump a binary image and reload it in any simple way.
- Comment on What is stopping the vice president from ever murdering the president? 1 month ago:
I’m sure analogous situations have come up many times in history, such as in the Roman empire. Part of the answer has been to be careful who you pick as VP. Trump picked Pence partly because Pence (at the time) seemed to have no presidential ambitions. It worked reasonably well, since Pence could have (politically) put the shiv into Trump during either of Trump’s two impeachments. If Trump becomes president again, he’ll likely get impeached at least a couple more times, so we’ll see if Vance is similarly loyal.
- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 1 month ago:
It’s ok if you call then medicines instead of drugs. Otherwise maybe ok anyway.

- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 1 month ago:
I think it might not work with the spaces. But if it does, then you are fine.
- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 1 month ago:
I think you don’t want the spaces around the= sign. Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.
