It’s basically 50/50 if they’re a Drumpf supporter or fascist in general, and the smart ones won’t reveal their politics, so I’m not taking that chance.

Astonishing how quickly we now turn to AI without even thinking about the ramifications. Really bad look for Ashton.

Looks like the guy behind this is based in France: https://www.gdquest.com/

Maybe browse this list a bit https://alternativeto.net/software/udemy/
Canadian universities or colleges might offer online courses, though they are likely to be more expensive, especially for international students.
You may want to search for general game development courses, since Godot is still a bit too niche, and there was a major overhaul between Godot 3 and Godot 4, which may make older courses irrelevant.
If you don’t care so much where the educator is from, maybe find ones you like on Udemy and ask them if they offer their courses elsewhere.
Other than that, there are always books you could pick up.

Nice. I’ll have to check them out. I turned the idea into a little generator web app, so feel free to generate your combination of names if you’re inclined: https://brianpeiris.github.io/ampersand-names-generator/

Good call. I’ll add a version with his name.

Nardwuar!

This is true of other dynamic languages. For example, Python will also allow you to add arbitrary properties to objects without complaining.

As others have mentioned, you need to read MDN, and more specifically, understand the browser APIs and DOM structure. When you have an HTMLElement, you should know that you need to set style properties on .style, and you should know that .style is a CSSStyleProperties object which uses camelCased version of the CSS property names, and each property takes a certain type of value, like the various value types for the width property, which include length values, percentage values and keyword values.

One of the main skills of being a frontend developer is learning this object model. It doesn’t make sense to complain about it, because that is the job.

Trial and error is not an efficient way to learn. You should at the very least experiment in the browser with the dev tools open. Have a hypothesis for how something should work (like changing a particular property), try making the change and observe the effect on the webpage and in the dev tool inspector, and if your hypothesis is wrong, understand why and update your mental model. The goal is to avoid using trial and error eventually and build an understanding instead.

Widevine is the defacto standard proprietary technology for DRM-locked content. It’s used by all the major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Without it, publishers would not make their content available to those platforms for fear of rampant piracy, especially for high quality and 4K content. I guess Widevine requires some sort of vetted relationship with any browser that wants to use their tech.

I took it to mean that newer AI browsers were taking mind-share, if not market-share. I think you’re right that they’re minuscule in terms of actual user numbers, perhaps because there are many of them now.

Sounds like he was more of a business owner and left the dirty work to labourers until he actually bothered to look.

I found a statement from an Australian official that claims to speak on behalf of Canada and New Zealand as well, but it’s from October 16th, so not sure if it’s the same reasoning.

Thank you Chair,

I have the honour to deliver this explanation of vote on behalf of Canada, New Zealand and my own country, Australia.

CANZ members are strong supporters of the right of all peoples to self-determination.

We will continue to promote the full implementation of Article 73 of the UN Charter.

CANZ continues to work across the United Nations’ decolonisation agenda.

We abstained from voting on this resolution for three reasons.

First, there are already a number of existing resolutions on colonialism under consideration by the Fourth Committee.

Second, the resolution contains proposals that go against the spirit and intent of the UN80 Initiative and the UN General Assembly Revitalisation process.

The Secretary General’s UN80 mandate report of 12 May 2025 called for ways to “avoid duplication and ensure strategic use of resources across the UN system”. The GA Revitalization resolution (A/Res/79/327) noted “with concern the significant increase in the number of proposals to proclaim international days” and called for restraint on new mandates. CANZ shares these concerns regarding the proliferation of international days and their resource implications.

Third, this resolution is being introduced by a sponsor whose voting rights are currently suspended in the General Assembly.

Chair, it must also be re-stated in this Committee that one of the co-sponsors of the resolution - a permanent member of the UN Security Council - is actively undermining the decolonisation agenda by waging an illegal war to reassert imperial control over an independent sovereign state.

Russia’s illegal war of aggression undermines the UN Charter which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

Our collective commitments to uphold sovereignty and territorial integrity are intrinsic to decolonisation.

Chair,

CANZ remains open to good faith discussions on innovative solutions to the complex issue of self-determination.

Thank you.

Here is Article 73: https://legal.un.org/repertory/art73.shtml

Here’s the article. It’s an excellent read: https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-destroying-the-university-and-learning-itself

Sounds like Geoffrey Hinton got in Bernie’s ear and did a good job convincing him of the fears. Hinton is a good guy, but he’s drunk too much of his own kool-aid. I think the bubble will pop at some point, but I’d prefer the fear-mongering over the hype, because the AI companies and governments do need more scrutiny.

Already happened with Discord. 70,000 government IDs leaked. https://discord.com/press-releases/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service

Excellent read, thanks for sharing.

Awesome! I will ship it to you tomorrow morning!

I can ship it to you if you can pay for shipping. I put it up on ebay since it makes the process easier: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/136814774452

It was a reasonable assumption, but the distribution didn’t pan out that way.
