I dunno, it seems like a bit of a problem that everyone gets a loose reproduction of the thing with different, unique, unknown quirks? And no one gets anything unless they rent their shovels from one of the 2.5 model vendors, first?
Kristi Noemore, has anyone done this yet?
Several posts in a row from the popular with friends feed, joking about Kristi Noem getting fired
Well done everyone. Well done to the people I follow for having good taste. Well done to bsky for breaking the following feed yesterday so I'd be on popular instead. A+ work, all around
Hey what happened over lunch, did I miss anything hilarious?
Abstruse
What obscure is to perception, abstruse is to understanding
Yes, in both senses
I'm expecting him to just declare victory and demand we all stop talking about it

I wrote that thread up as a blog post, too. In case you want a more self-contained link

I stopped taking any pride in being an eagle scout long time ago. But I have continued to take satisfaction in knowing how much some people hate this fact
It happened bitches. And it can't unhappen
Girl Scouts of the USA is not the same thing as Scouting America, FYI - they are independent from one another, despite the similar names. So you can still buy delicious cookies and also support trans kids! www.erininthemorning.com/p/2026-trans...
It's just that "the moat" comes from a very zero-sum mentality, where customers are essentially units of territory to be defended or captured.
It doesn't seem fit with the FOSS ethos
🤷🏿♂️The backflips white people go through to try to justify police killing unarmed Black people for no reason while opposing ICE killing unarmed white people for no reason, is something quite amazing to observe.
Cops have killed 141 people so far this year. It's not even March yet.
Moat is a very peculiar framing in this context
shipping is a discipline, not a function
It me
Good.
Talarico and his angry cartoon avatar followers, should go away.
And the Hispanic MAGA voters that are Pro-ICE and anti-migrant farm workers? Who are making bad faith arguments against her? Can stay on that side.
Again, Texas has more registered Democrats than GOP. Motivate the base.
That sucks, I was kind of eyeing it. Probably not for at least another year, but still
I think in a very real way, the fascination with big data and now AI is downstream of the fact that the people who run and work at tech organizations literally have an absent understanding of how knowledge and information work as a social and organizational function whatsoever.
Did you know you can just watch old episodes of the joy of painting? Strong recommend. Top tier AI antidote
Yes. If it's not, just keep getting rid of more JavaScript until it is
For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I explained why Gavin Newsom's flirtation with anti-trans policy won't win a single conservative or centrist vote for him and also makes him a non-starter for trans lefties. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...
Wow, "eternal september", as though this just happened on its own as a natural consequence of network growth and they did nothing at all to induce it
Maybe next they can do something about the eternal september of scamming
My perspective on that is informed by stories like this one
www.pcgamer.com/software/pla...
and more than a little direct experience with people and teams that do just simply defer to the AI, which makes my job quite a lot worse.
Yes, I'm assuming this is happening in pursuit of producing something for a commercial purpose, which informs what I imagine the scope to be. And what I was saying in the first place, is that the one author's learning path is just a peripheral part of that.
Even if that programmer is particularly concerned about learning, which is what I'm getting from the reference to worked examples, an example is the wrong thing. So much learning and growth comes from resolving not to make the same mistakes as last time. A working example skips that moment.
All of which matters, a lot. And I don't have any hope that it will get any consideration when it could make a difference. The programmer will never think "how am I going to test this" because "this" arrives fully formed without any of the intermediate consideration that could have shaped it.
But that will have far reaching consequences for how easy or hard it is to respond to changing circumstances. And how fast and reliable, or not, the build and test process is. And how long it takes new people to onboard. And how comprehensible it is in operation.
In that case, so many technical constrains will never be explored. No thought will be given to the way things are organized. Very likely no thought will be given to testing, beyond specifying that there should be tests.
