This looks great. I love RustiCal, so I'm keen to give this a try!

They had a CI/CD problem, so they fixed... version control.

They've ripped out and replaced the most carefully thought-out part of the CI/CD chain with something less carefully thought-out, while leaving the teetering house of cards in place.

This looks lovely, thank you. Is there a source repository available?

Sounds interesting. How do candidates update their profiles? It can be annoying to have to replicate information that's already on both a CV and LinkedIn into yet another recruitment system's custom format. I can understand the limitations of parsing a CV, but how do you make it easy for candidates to describe themselves?

Too much drama; too much!

This is one area where richer countries can learn a lot from poorer countries, should they choose to listen.

When I lived in Liberia, there were about 10-15 different newspapers in the capital, from websites to print to one guy with a massive chalk board on the main road. This diversity of sources served quite a small population, but there was a massive appetite for news.

In such a situation, you don't expect impartiality, but each news organisation's perspective sites is more obvious, and reading about events from multiple perspectives gives, in my view, a broader and clearer window into what happened.

I think it could make sense to value in news, not impartiality, but diversity of viewpoints.

Conveniently, the internet does make this much easier.

I would add that the terrible politics doesn't need to be local. There are a large number of international norms that benefit the already-wealthy, at the expense of the poor, for example, by supporting authoritarians in other countries.

You may or may not be correct, but I'd say, citation needed.

It's not self-evident that life is such a zero-sum game that more people necessarily means fewer resources to go around; I'd even venture that the last hundred years of development suggests the opposite.

It's quite possible that more people enables a slew of network effects (such as technology improvements due to more minds attacking a problem, say) that improves everyone's living standards.

Could you share the link for this, if you can find it?

You might want to look into EcoFlow. I use their River system to provide backup power for my home equipment (I have frequent power outages, usually about 2 hours in length). I can't tell you whether it'll work for medical equipment, though.

Apparently this is most likely to be a local clinic; when handling lower-income clients, it's often a routine part of any sexual health treatment.

(A friend who is a medic is slowly enlightening me on all the necessary parts of life and healthcare that we're too polite to talk about in school.)

What's an anagram of Banach-Tarski?

Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski!

Ubuntu is an isiXhosa/isiZulu word, and the concept (and similar words) exist in other Bantu languages... But, although Swahili is a Bantu language, I don't think it's a word in Swahili. (To be fair, I can't claim fluency in Swahili, but it's not in any of my dictionaries.)
