I want everyone to know that this war has my full and complete opposition. It is wrong to fight it, and those organizing it must be removed from their positions immediately.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.

As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.

When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

goldilocks theory of computer size

computer too big? unwieldy, have to go to a place to use it, inconvenient.
computer too small? too pervasive, gives you depression.

who will make computer that is just right size (friend, does not induce psychosis, runs Linux)

Programmer here 🙋a blob is a gelateneous creature that eats humans.

As a Computer Scientist and parent, I have to ask:

"Was the blob set up for failure? Was this a natural consequence of something else the blob did previously? How does the blob feel about this failure? What would the blob do differently next time? Does the blob need a hug?"

Lol love it.

So basically BIPOC getting short end of stick cool :) just great /s

Well *you*, in particular, could write a very angry and very popular song at the problem. But that approach is not broadly applicable and only debatably effective.

Forgot to mention that my daughter received potato whilst trick or treating.

The potato legend is true y'all, it really is. 😭

Isn't React Native a UI framework? Why should it also have responsibility for running ML models?

I think because they don't really want to be a real company?

Trying not to be a real company doesn't necessarily get you out of having power though, and its attendant responsibilities. Not unless they work out a way to dispense a complete education in CS and DevOps and PDS admin through the feed.

In the Bluesky system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the PDSes, who host the accounts, and the apps, who show you the posts.

Bluesky hosts your account by default. You can switch your host, but what happens if your account host refuses to migrate? ⬇️dun dun

Because of the "learn to code" craze and people feeling constrained to go into whatever pays, there are now actually a concerning number of software engineers who do not enjoy engineering software.

This reminds me of www.baldurbjarnason.com/2025/trustin..., which argues that generative AI technologies are comparable to a drug or a psychological treatment in power, and have their most important effects at organization and society scale, and so a human can't actually "check if it helps".

I've learned today that Waymos may explode when set on fire, but that doing this is "not good practice".
