BREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers.

Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.

At EPFL, Professor Martin Odersky set out to combine functional and object-oriented programming. The result was Scala, now used worldwide.

In 2025 he received the Programming Languages Achievement Award.

Functional Languages and the Future of Programming (Part 1) Functional programming explained: history, core concepts, and the influence of languages like Haskell, Erlang, and Scala.

A decade ago was the "high-water" mark for functional programming and the languages it inspired. Now everyone is focused on AI, of course. Andrew Oram is writing a retrospective series about FP, then and now. www.lpi.org/blog/2026/03...

I would have taken a fraction of the $80B Zuckerberg spent on this effort to tell him years ago that it was doomed from the beginning, but he didn't ask...

My Tesla Was Driving Itself Perfectly—Until It Crashed The danger of almost-perfect tech

Raffi Krikorian’s Tesla “was in Full Self-Driving Mode, driving perfectly—until it wasn’t.” He writes about his crash, and whether this technology is training drivers to be complacent:

Nice. I've been using Cocojune as a replacement for heavy creme and regular yogurt in a lot of dishes.

Screen shot of a chat GPT conversation. Question: I need to get my car washed but the car wash is only 300 meters away. Should I walk or drive to the car wash GPT answer: If it's only 300 meters (about 0.2 miles) away, you should walk. Here's why: It's very close - about a 3-5 minute walk. You'll save gas (even if it's a tiny amount). Better for the environment. You get a little movement in.

‘Horsefeathers!’: Judge blasts Hegseth’s attempt to demote Sen. Kelly over video to U.S. troops The fiery decision against Hegseth included 15 exclamation points.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights by moving to strip him of his retired military rank for reminding troops in a video last year that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders, a federal judge ruled Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The whole racist backlash in "some quarters" against Bad Bunny and hispanic culture, in general, is not just bad, it's clueless and pathetic. Young people have largely embraced music from alternative cultures for a long time, starting with black music in the 50s up to K-Pop more recently.

Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison:

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
