I like the similarity between Richard Rumelt’s strategy kernel and John Boyd’s OODA loop:
> Diagnosis/Challenge = Observe & Orient
> Guiding policy/Crux = Decide
> Coherent actions = Act
Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens.
Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals.

Awesome!
Split diffs are now the default in Zed. Simple feature, complex implementation.

Prompt injections for agents are the equivalent of social engineering for humans.
When I started in the late '90s, IT was a mix of "build" and "buy." Teams were still developing their own software. Today, most departments only buy (mostly SaaS). But with agentic coding drastically lowering the cost of custom development, "build" is making a comeback.
in a world shifting toward agentic coding, where humans essentially review code rather than write it, do we still need dynamically typed languages?
No, DeepMind has not solved the protein folding problem.
#Alphafold predictions are valuable hypotheses and accelerate but do not replace experimental structure determination.
Just saw this on HN: "Nerd: A language for LLMs, not humans". Interesting take, because I think precisely the opposite. Coding agents let us produce a lot of code, code that we need to review. We need languages optimized for code generation by AI, and code review by humans.
What’s even crazier is the number of people who are still fine supporting and associating themselves with him despite this.
I think that most people think of browser tabs as things that only work online (because they see the URL), and installed apps as things that work offline. I know it’s not strictly true from a technical perspective, but the UX suggests this.
Thanks for the links! Electrobun seems similar to Tauri, in the sense it is using an OS provided webview.
I mostly agree. It’s Chrome OS vision, where all apps are essentially PWA. It works well in Chrome OS because it feels you can install the apps. But I think that on the other platforms that feeling of “apps” is missing. Browsers support installing PWA, but the UX is not very obvious.
I forgot about Spotify!
What's the solution?
Tauri? (but what about subtle differences between OSes?)
React Native? (but it seems stronger on mobile than desktop?)
Flutter? (same concern as RN)
I'm fine with Electron apps over native apps. The benefit of "write once, run everywhere" is just too hard to ignore. But can we find a way to reduce the RAM usage?
It should be possible running Slack, Discord, Notion, Figma, Obsidian & Bitwarden together without OOM errors…

Thank you @mullvad.bsky.social for fighting #ChatControl everywhere, even in the subway, to make the general public aware of this threat to our democracies. 🇪🇺👀
All the talks about AI replacing all jobs seem premature. AI will not cause mass unemployment without a breakthrough on AGI. What makes us believe that unlocking the secrets of intelligence is easier than unlocking the secrets of Alzheimer’s or cancer?

My son, learning Lua in Roblox Studio, doesn’t call functions. He told me he summons them! 🪄
Interesting paper showing that stackful coroutines (used for example in Go and Erlang) are not intrinsically slower than stackless coroutines (used for example in Rust, Python and JavaScript):

Is there still a reason to use TLS inspection nowadays? Most of the problems solved by TLS inspection — network filtering, web filtering, malware detection, C2 detection, DLP, etc. — can be solved in the browser and/or with EDR solutions on the endpoint.
TLS inspection — done by a firewall placed between the user devices and the Internet — is still a form of old-fashioned perimeter defense, breaks the end-to-end security model, and often causes performance issues.
Why the Zig programming language matters, when to use it, and why correctness is a system design problem, not a language problem. Interesting thoughts from @joran.tigerbeetle.com.

It's scary and sad seeing the USA, one of the beacons of modern democracies, slip toward an authoritarian regime. But it's not too late to stop this and get back on track. Authoritarianism has never solved anything.
