In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Why is a Dem politician calling Nixon and Reagan "our toughest presidents" anyway? Nixon was a fucking maniac. Reagan ducked out of fighting in WW2 and as president declared war on Grenada, an island with like 50 people on it. Why are Dems so fucking stupid about messaging? It drives me insane.
Post from Dale Partridge claiming nobody wants to live in diverse neighborhoods
I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries.
Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.
The most Bridget Carleton has ever made in a WNBA season is $125,000. Assuming that's correct, she just signed a deal for over $3.5m. #WNBA
Big bench loss for New York
Major WNBA free agency domino: 3x All-Star Satou Sabally has agreed to sign a multiyear deal to join the New York Liberty, agent Zack Miller of WME Basketball tells me, @shamsbot.bsky.social & @kendra-andrews.bsky.social

"How is it possible that 8 out of 10 Dem voters view Israel in a negative thing?" is the riddle John Fetterman asks you to answer when to try to cross his troll bridge.
Ever try and get a gsuite organization to use anything other than Meet for VC meetings?
You could lay out a solid case that engineers should always use something like Tuple for 1:1s, but - doesn't matter! Your happy cohort will disappear like a sandcastle if not doggedly maintained.

As a queer person covering the Bulls, the team’s response to Jaden Ivey's homophobic comments came as a relief.
But the guard’s beliefs — and willingness to vocalize them — were not a surprise.
If Artūras Karnišovas can’t vet his trades, why should he continue running the Bulls front office?
JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.
the nba: we respect women too much for this to happen :'(
also the nba: welcome back, Kevin Porter Jr. and Miles Bridges!
A screenshot of code that reads: // Create a Recomposition Tracking Rule @get:Rule val composeTestRule = createRecompositionTrackingRule() @Test fun incrementCounter_onlyValueRecomposes() { // Perform an action composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("inc_button") .performClick() // Assert that Composables change like you expect composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("counter_value") .assertRecompositions(exactly = 1) // Or assert that they remain stable composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("counter_title") .assertStable() // asserts recompositions = 0 }
Today I’m open-sourcing Dejavu!
Testing UI performance in Jetpack Compose is frustrating. We profile and watch tools, yet regressions still creep in.
I built Dejavu to make recomposition behavior something you can actually test.
I think it says a lot that these morons think it's not possible to offer young men anything more than crypto, & gambling.
For anyone seeing the events that occurred at Block and think "man, I feel for them"... If you work in tech, it's gonna suck for you too. These are the people who maintained open source we all use, such as Okhttp, Retrofit, Okio, Turbine, Molecule, Paparazzi, Moshi, KotlinPoet, Java Poet, etc...
Almost all of Cash Mobile Engineering was laid off today.
None of us have any clue what their rubric was for choosing who stayed and who went, but whatever it was, I'm on the job market again!
programmer genie: what's your wish?
me: I wanna be the best low-level programmer at my company
programmer genie: alacadabra! your wish is granted
me: really? shouldn't I know assembly? JavaScript isn't exactly low-level
programmer genie: it is now! I turned everyone else into prompt engineers
DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

The NBA postponed a game because the United States government is killing its citizens.
Can’t emphasize it enough.

Our negotiations with Core Devices have broken down, and we need your help, as the community, to decide what to do next: rebble.io/2025/11/17/c...
(Aside: Ugh. This is probably the least pleasant thing we have ever had to write. We're incredibly sad it went this way, and sorry to have to post it.)
Turns out Tidal is only a few dollars more a month for a family plan than Spotify and they have a cool feature where they’re not running ads to recruit for the gestapo.
"my configuration time went down from ~1s per project to ~350ms per project."
@martinbonnin@bird.makeup was able to drastically speed up his project's configuration time.

A goalpost to reach: 100ms per project.
Where are you with your projects?

extremely disappointing.
