python and javascript deserve a special place in hell
oh yeah I utterly hate python. the fact that python "won" over perl is one of my many indicators that we live in hell. absolutely stupid language. if you're going to make a language where there's only one construct to do a given thing maybe pick constructs that aren't shit
yeah this rule change is going to be devastating. our cat's asthma inhaler is around $500 domestically, and around $100 ordering internationally.

We're now at two objective studies for the best use case anyone has for LLMs and both found it useless even for that. It's a scam. It has no use
Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison
Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

There’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.

every time i order something and it's shipped via DHL, it takes a week longer than it said, then the shit gets marked delivered but it hasn't been, and then actually shows up days after *that* what the fuck are they doing at DHL
Shock: Oh no, they shipped DHL Denial: I got a USPS code so maybe it's not with DHL? Anger: DHL is gonna lose my shit again Bargaining: Does the DHL website seem better? Guilt: Buying local would have avoided DHL Depression: It's gone. It's gone. It's gone Acceptance: DHL app says Thursday now
the connective tissue pain when starting climbing is so real
my real problem with climbing is that tendons are so slow to grow and heal. with any other exercise i can have a day off or MAYBE two days off then i'm fine to do it again. but climbing? two full days and even still i'm like "owwie my poor little weak arms 🥺👉👈" and it's FUCKED. my body betrays me!!!

New: I got footage of a cop in Florida who met a woman on a TV set then surveiled her for weeks, ran her license plate through a surveillance system, then stalked and pulled her over. One of the most egregious cases you’ll ever see: www.404media.co/footage-show...
nice. i wish y'all had open dev positions
Why do I like working for Vivaldi? This is what our CEO just said on a interview with @pcmag.com: “I really think that we have to fight for the web [and] for the kind of society we want to live in. [...] And in the meantime, before governments make those decisions, we can all vote with our feet.”
