More inroads in the Great War against the boolean type

You're laughing. I'm trying to get people to to click on "hey guys it's not hard to figure out why farmers love Trump, he's opening up whole new types of farm slavery" as much as they click on "here's some more gossip about Ballerina Farm" & you're laughing

generic catholic bishop character: i just can't believe the trump administration would just use us, politically, through trickery and without our consent

Anyway, I can personally vouch for the fact that at least some members of the Obama family are familiar with and seemingly fans of the Cheesecake Factory.

Tail end of an insightful thread on the upcoming Israeli elections Scroll up to the top from here, then read down:

The two big projects I work on: * the update system at Oxide. If this breaks, our product cannot be updated any more. The entire update process is autonomous, too * cargo-nextest. ~a quarter of professional Rust devs use it. If this breaks, many people have a bad time So yes, I look at the code

In addition to the abject racism, the rest of the new rules make clear r/opensource is committed to being a highly insular, exclusionary community. Projects posted must be successful long-term projects with active communities. The person posting must be a long-time active Redditor.

IMO, if C++ really fails to ship contracts here, thereby slipping them to C++29 at the earliest, it’s another nail in the coffin and C++ will continue on its slow decline toward being a legacy language.

A large number of National Bodies (country-specific standards orgs participating in WG21 at ISO) abstained or voted against approving C++26. NBs vote as units for the approval of a complete draft standard. The main sticking point is about contracts.

This is what I see and what my younger son tells me as well. Kids want to make stuff! If this was such a great tool it would not be this hard to convince people they should use it.

There’s no discussion of potential penalties in this article, but if people don’t go to jail for flagrant illegality like this, it will keep happening. For companies like Google, fines are just another cost of doing business. Something to toss on the balance sheet and weigh against profits.

in other news i have seen a programmer slowly rediscover "institutional knowledge" from first principles literally reinventing plato's cave and the shadows, where the shadows are the software delivered, and the hand puppets are the shared beliefs of the organization, but with terms like 'metaspec'

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: compare it to “written in Rust!”. You can’t STOP rust programmers from slamming a Written in Rust sticker on every goddamn think we make

I’ll gladly accept whatever guff comes my way for this, but I’m hoping the Democratic nominee in 2028 is, political questions aside, young and aspirational. If you’re younger than, say, 30, you might not remember how magical election night 2008 felt. Civic pride doesn’t begin to describe it.

I work in manufacturing. I know everyone loves to complain thst “they don’t make them like they used to” but in most cases things are made both better and cheaper, as well as much more safely for the people building them.

From the people who brought you "my kid never heard of trans people until Paxton flooded the airwaves with anti-trans advertising and now they're always asking me about them"

Pebble devs - we're working on something big for you 👀The biggest change to the SDK since...forever. Plugins: headless apps that provide data (eg weather, finance, traffic) or offer actions (home control, music, webhooks) to other apps, watchfaces and the Index agent.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Thinking about an extremely rusty URL router. In my mind it would be opinionated and limited, such that at any particular point, you can have any number of fixed routes and then a single wildcard route which is passed to the handler.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

I have absolutely been subject to people not thinking my distress was real until I had an emotional outburst about it Extremely frustrating on many levels. Definitely exacerbated the problem.

SW friends, OnlyFans and Fansly profile links should work now! Refresh or force-quit and reopen your app a couple times so you get the update

Today marks the 25th anniversary of Apple introducing the first-generation iPod. To celebrate, Apple has hidden a fully functional iPod emulator on its Apple Music “Page Not Found” page.

Still not a fan

Listen to this if you want to see how a world-class security team thinks about key creation ceremonies

"it's all snake oil" ok well I hate to break it to you but idiots armed with large volumes of snake oil are currently taking down major cyber infrastructure

The US president declaring himself the greatest in history, above Lincoln and Washington, would have been considered a secular form of blasphemy as little as two years ago - and a sign of profound mental instability besides. Today it’s nothing. We’re supposed to take it in stride.

Jesus Christ I didn't think I could possibly think less of the dude, but here we are.

I know that they always say this but you really do gotta wait till the VERY end on this one

"this guy likes php" and like, buddy, i have already done my time in the mines

IT Ops: "Why is this Windows setting gray'd out?" Me: "It's insecure we can't... Actually, I jumped ahead of myself. Why does the user know this option exists? What is the problem they are trying to solve by changing it?" IT Ops: "Actually we don't know." This is why they pay me.

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

This whole thread is a TL cleanse

lemme see if I get it GRU hacks Kushner's iPhone Dutch intelligence (MIVD) then recruits GRU spy, gives them hacked phone MIVD discovers that Kushner has 2 bank accounts (one Azerbaijani, one Israeli) where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposit money
