Here is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about

Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧵

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

Trump:

"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

“ when people accumulate mass wealth and power, they begin to believe the rules no longer apply to them, and their behavior often drifts toward domination, exploitation, cruelty, violence, and the outright most vile and abhor.”

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Plato Has Been Censored; What Next? PEN America condemns and calls absurd Texas A&M censoring Plato readings and discussions related to race and gender

The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States.

Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

How to compile JavaScript to C with Static Hermes Lately, I've been working on porting more of Parcel to Rust, and investigating ways to embed JS-based plugins. This post describes how I used Static Hermes to compile Less.js to a native C library tha...

Facebook's Static Hermes is kind of incredible. It can compile JavaScript into C, which is then optimized into native machine code.

I just compiled the Less.js source code into a C library. Then I called it from Rust as a native Parcel plugin (no Node). Wild. 👨‍🔬
