Thinking ahead to that Ides of March thing the internet loves so much and just saying, that was a day when a bunch of elected senators organized to kill a dictator, just saying
He fired Kristi Noem while she is speaking live. Lmao
This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.
But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.
Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.
This is the exact guidance I gave to the team!
The rules of PRs are unchanged. If you submit a bad PR - buggy, untested, too big, poorly documented, poorly isolated to the task - then you did that as an IC on the team, and you're gonna lose points on employee battlechart & have to do a hunger games
i've said this many times, today even: if you use ai in your job, your employer should be paying for it.
New post about how we do code review here at @cloudfour.com! If your team members dread the notification that they’ve been added as a reviewer on a pull request, I think the following guidelines can help. cloudfour.com/thinks/how-w...
Oh my fucking GOD why are people doing such terrible, wonderful things with CSS these days.
Customizable <select> as Duck Hunt, with *zero JS*. It's even still keyboard-accessible with the arrow keys! Because it's "just" a very funky-styled <select>!

Recently someone (I thought it was @cassidoo.co, but I can't find it) posted a list of article suggestions, including "How We Do Code Reviews" and "How We Use CI to Check Code Standards." I'm working on these and want to give credit, but I lost the post with the suggestions. Does that ring a bell?

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

"Does 200 lines of Python code *understand anything*?"
this by @rusty.todayintabs.com is a must-read
🛸 In the last week, Obama said aliens are real(!), Trump said Obama revealed classified info(!!), and then said he was directing the Pentagon to release all #UFO files(!!!). What's happening? What's next? Can he do that? We’re diving in. #UAP #ufoSky veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...
while you were studying the blade, I was also studying the blade. we have the same blade exam and I want to do well.
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
people are not built for having an evil genie whispering in their ear about how amazing and perfect they are and confirming every bias they ever had, to say nothing of the constant vigilance for lies and misinformation
"But it explained everything so confidently that nobody questioned it."
we never figured out how to build cultural antibodies against "semi-educated guesses presented as fact with utter certainty" and now we've taught computers to exploit that weakness
Ugh! All these days! All these days in a row!
They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.
I never noticed this either.

This is the same tech that all the software engineering influencers on X are telling you to use to open PRs to your codebase without reviewing the diffs.

Seen on my walk this morning in Portland
This is a good point re: Portland today
This wasn't on federal land
It wasn't when agents were claiming to do any enforcement activity
It was federal agents shooting gas at children and union families in the streets
Im not a lawyer, but I dont see how qualified immunity counts here
It's assault
Portland City Council member
This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.
Video shared with me by attendee at the ICE protest in Portland, OR earlier this evening where federal agents tear gassed peaceful protestors—including children, disabled and elderly:
