Ian has a way of getting to the nub. This is basically the kind of thing I wrote to Tim Davie about in 2020, though I had no idea how bad it would get. Most of the media has not the slightest notion how to handle a situation like this, and instead tries desperately to normalize it.
There is a video somewhere on youtube claiming, with convincing arguments, that this may be the best example of cinematic storytelling in a scene.
As a special honor, I could try spelling his name correctly.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Stephen Collin's cartoons for the Grauniad are special.
This is a standout among standouts. Lyrical, poetic, poignant, and funny.

I have a grim story I could add here but propriety pulls me back.
Me neither!

If you were laid off from Block (or anywhere) and want to stay remote, @roost.tools is hiring for multiple SWE roles and levels.
If you're the kind of person who's deeply satisfied by figuring out why a service has multiple databases and ripping some out, we might be for you! roost.tools/careers
Despite the troubles and horrors, we're also living in the most meet-cute buddy movie ever.
Made the cover of @acm.org with "A Decade of Docker Containers", recapping much systems work! Docker grew so fast in those early days that we never got a chance to write an academic paper about it, so this has been a long time coming cacm.acm.org/research/a-d... w/ @justincormack.bsky.social djs55

I don't usually set out to photograph spiders, but after 25 years of this I've accumulated a medium-sized gallery.
Illustrated graphic with the boot-shaped Rubin Observatory atop its site on Cerro Pachón beneath a sparkling night sky and the glowing band of the Milky Way stretching from lower left to upper right. Sprinkled throughout are many "Data alert!" popups, labeled with icons that represent supernovae, asteroids, hungry black holes, and more.
A 3-by-4 grid of grayscale astronomical images zoomed in on single objects. From left to right, the columns are labeled Template, New image, and difference. From top to bottom, the rows are labeled supernova, variable star, active galactic nucleus, and solar system object.
The largest spot-the-difference effort EVER has begun!🚨
On the night of Feb 24, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory officially released its first ~800,000 public alerts of detected changes in the night sky!🔍
A new era of discovery is here✨ 🔭🧪☄️

Hey when I sneeze stuff comes out of my eyes. True. It's tubes all the way down.
A thousand times this.
There is no sense in which a chatbot can "help" with your schoolwork by making it easier; if it is easier, it is less useful for actual learning (effortful practice is HOW WE LEARN) and therefore the chatbot has not helped, but has only hindered.
My favorite (not) involved running an electric current through my eyeball. Bodies are very disappointing.
Sorry.
STOP LAUNCHING CRAP WE DON'T NEED OR WANT
It's staggeringly depressing how blithely they plan to ruin everything. Everything.
I went to a dark site last week so I could say goodbye to the sky. Took a little hand-held photo and guess what? A satellite trail appeared.
Just stop!
genuinely in awe of how audaciously stupid this plan is

An embroidered patch shows a scene in space with an asteroid hurtling towards earth and a Tyrannosaurus rex (also in space) with its mouth open, either screaming or trying to bite the asteroid (I don't know). Along the top of the patch it says "NEO SURVEYOR." At the bottom of the patch it says, "NEVER AGAIN."
This unofficial patch for the NEO Surveyor project that my husband brought home from work is sending me.

All I’m saying is, some of you have been a little hasty in writing phrenology off as a science.
The Go Checksum Database guarantees that every single Go build uses the same source for a given module version.
However, GitHub might not show you that code.
pkg.geomys.dev displays the canonical source of a Go module, and it comes with browser extensions to replace pkg.go.dev source links.
Very few people know that the Go standard library has an internal DSL used to make sure that no new intra-stdlib dependencies are added when a change happens:
