The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.

The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.

We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311. 
 
311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small. 
 
So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

The Coldest Cold Email: Oracle’s 30,000-Person Layoff Is a Preview of What’s to Come A 6 a.m. message signed “Oracle Leadership” just ended tens of thousands of careers. Here’s what it means — and what to do if you’re next.

I remember when it was a scandal that a company laid people off over Zoom. Now that seems warm and fuzzy compared to the norm today.

Oracle laid off 30K people with a 6AM email with a link to click and accept terms if they wanted severance.

"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism "CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

A Google AI summary with a link to the show on Netflix and the text:

There is no well-known comedy series titled How to Get to Heaven from Belfast; you might be thinking of the 2021 Kenneth Branagh film Belfast, a semi-autobiographical drama about growing up in the city during the Troubles, which is available to stream on Netflix and Prime Video. If you're looking for a comedy set in Northern Ireland, you may be misremembering the title, as Belfast is a drama, not a comedy, though it has humorous moments.

GitHub - qntm/proposal-bigint-constants: ECMAScript Proposal: BigInt constants for mathematics ECMAScript Proposal: BigInt constants for mathematics - qntm/proposal-bigint-constants

For the purposes of computing, we always need to approximate π. In JavaScript, `Math.PI` is the nearest 64-bit floating point number to the true value of π. My proposal is that for consistency and symmetry we should introduce `BigInt.PI`

Code example showing the usage of Temporal.ZoneddateTime

```js
// London DST starts: 2026-03-29 01:00 -> 02:00
const zdt = Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from(
  "2026-03-29T00:30:00+00:00[Europe/London]",
);

console.log(zdt.toString());
// → "2026-03-29T00:30:00+00:00[Europe/London]"

const plus1h = zdt.add({ hours: 1 });

console.log(plus1h.toString());
// "2026-03-29T02:30:00+01:00[Europe/London]" (01:30 doesn't exist)
```

Source maps are a vital part of modern web development, but the lack of a standard made it impossible for us to add new features or improve the debugging experience.

This is the story of how we standardized source maps and how we continue to ship features through standards 📜

AI Didn't Break the Senior Engineer Pipeline. It Showed That One Never Existed. Most organizations never had a model for developing engineers. They had an environment that produced growth by accident. AI just made the luck run out.

If coding is your favorite part of software engineering, keep coding. AI doesn't stop you. But if coding was the only part you were good at, that's a different conversation. The job was always bigger than the code. #bransoncognac blog.bryanl.dev/posts/ai-sen...

Over the last year or two, engineering blogging has gotten so ... bland. I feel like most of my tech reading is getting clogged up with posts written in a business hustle tone: overwrought and repetitive without saying much of substance.

My hot take on Taiwan is that I wish we would fully commit to the defense of Taiwan and also that saying that out loud may be an absolute disaster especially with this President.
