It's often fairly easy to find US government-centric news and criticism with Google.

But as one counterexample: The end of the US penny was formed and announced not with public legislative discourse, nor even with an executive order, but with a brief social media post by the president.

And I don't mean that it's atrocious or anything, but I wanted to see that social media post myself. Not a report about it, or someone's interpretation of it, but -- you know -- the actual utterance from the horse's mouth.

Which should be a simple matter. After all, it's the WWW.

And I've been Googling for as long as there has been a Google to Google with. I'd like to think that I am proficient at getting results from it.

But it was like pulling teeth to get Google to eventually, kicking and screaming, produce a link to the original message on Truth Social.

If that kind of active reluctance isn't censorship on Google's part, then what might it be described as instead?

And if they're seeking to keep me away from the root of this very minor issue, then what else might they also be working to keep me from?

Depends how they are built. There are many embedded/real-time systems that expect this sort of reliability too of course.

I worked on systems that were allowed 8 hours of downtime per year -- but otherwise would have run forever unless there was nuclear bomb that went off or a power loss...Tandem. You could pull out CPUs while running.

So if we are talking about garbage windows servers sure. It's just a question of what is accepted by the customers/users.

> and the playerbase overwhelmingly prefers matchmaking

The server browser is buried under a couple layers of obtuse menus (and, at present, is completely broken on my SteamOS machine) while matchmaking is obvious and straightforward. You cannot come to any reasonable conclusions about player preference given the way the UI drives players towards matchmaking and away from servers. If they were presented on equal footing you might have a point.

Consider also TF2. It launched as a server-based game, and in the years after matchmaking was added Valve went through many UX iterations designed to drive traffic to it before it was more popular.

> With Protobuf, that’s impossible.

Unless your servers and clients push at different time, thus are compiled with different versions of your specs, then many safety bets are off.

There are ways to be mostly safe (never reuse IDs, use unknown-field-friendly copying methods, etc.), but distributed systems are distributed systems, and protobuf isn't a silver bullet that can solve all problems on author's list.

On the upside, it seems like protobuf3 fixed a lot of stuff I used to hate about protobuf2. Issues like:

> if the field is not a message, it has two states:

> - ...

> - the field is set to the default (zero) value. It will not be serialized to the wire. In fact, you cannot determine whether the default (zero) value was set or parsed from the wire or not provided at all

are now gone if you stick to using protobuf3 + `message` keyword. That's really cool.

Interests : systems programming, 2D & 3D graphics, performance

--------

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I describe myself as a competent generalist, and a lifelong learner. I'm frequently working on something I've never done before. I've worked at every level of the stack, from cycle-shaving hot loops that saturate instruction pipelines to the frontend of large web applications. My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup; I wrote prototypes for an ISA, compiler, a cycle simulator and visual debugger.

In terms of hard technical skills, I can quickly become productive in nearly any language, and at any level of the stack. I'm comfortable working in heavily multithreaded/async soft-realtime environments where performance is a key acceptance criteria. I have a good understanding of modern hardware architectures, including GPUs, from main memory to registers and instruction pipelines. I have working knowledge of interpreters, dynamic language runtimes and garbage collectors. I'm convinced I can learn nearly anything (albeit some things more quickly than others), given an appropriate problem domain to apply it to.

In terms of business value, I can take hand-wavy visions of new products and turn them into working prototype(s), quickly. I'm comfortable refining those raw materials and delivering real value to customers, internal or external. I have a track record of successfully identifying 80/20 solutions and love the feeling of making tools that make peoples lives better.

In my personal life, I enjoy travelling, surfing, climbing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, pirates, and attending raves. I like the phrase "have strong opinions, weakly held".

If I was born to do one thing in this world, it's program computers.

Jesse

Since this is on Android, this policy should only apply to the version of the Messages app within the work profile, right? If it didn't and could access personal messages, that would be crossing a line.

Reading the post makes it sound like this only happens on managed devices; whether that means "owned and provided by work", "within the confines of the work profile on a BYOD devices", or both, I'm not 100% sure.

It's still facing the headwind that a lot of people still don't believe that Steam can give you a lean-back experience which is fun like a game console. Some people still think PC games all have sweaty keyboard and mouse control schemes and those crappy huge joysticks from the 1990s that were always falling apart and had to be recalibrated every few minutes -- and that's what is keeping the PS5 alive.

do you have any evidence that the author used a LLM? focusing on the content, instead of the tooling used to write the content, leads to a lot more productive discussions

I promise you cannot tell LLM-generated content from non-LLM generated content. what you think you’re detecting is poor quality, which is orthogonal to the tooling used

This is an important distinction. Most "rent control" laws are intended to be "rent stabilization" not outright price fixing. Their goal is to prevent insane swings in rent happening too quickly, which disrupts families and local economies (and even infrastructure development).

But the worst/most aggressively laws are always used as the examples, skewing the conversation to edge cases and ignoring the fact that these laws can and do take hundreds of different forms.

> They have done a lot.

I really don’t agree. Look at the first year of 1997 Labour:

* Good Friday agreement signed and referendum * Introduction of Minimum Wage * Human Rights act introduced and passed * Scottish and Welsh devolution set out, Parliament voted on it, referendums passed * Bank of England independence

A government coming into a mess of a country on a platform of change cannot just fiddle around with minor things, which is what many of the changes they have done, though positive, are. And at the same time, they’ve also wasted so much political capital on some really stupid things that it’s hard to see where they can go from here.

"- The data was collected in 2016, and was used in 2023 - a retention period of 7 years, way longer than the specified maximum of 2"

Normally, when there's an ongoing police investigation, the police can either request and retain a copy of the data, or request the holder of the data retain it until "further notice". I'm assuming that's what was going on here.

"If he was, I'd argue the dragnet-collected evidence is only circumstantial."

The phone logging was not conclusive evidence, only used to establish that he had been in the area. They found various artifacts in his house, like a roll of duct tape with the dead girls DNA on, that he explained he had found while walking around the lake, the same type of duct tape used to bind the girl. They also found various other items with the girls DNA on.

They used the logging data to establish his whereabouts for the night in question and compared it to his statement of where he'd been. They also used various financial transactions, like buying a cup of coffee with his credit card at a gas station, etc.

In Denmark, DNA cannot be used as a single evidence, only as supporting evidence, and the same goes for phone logging. But combined, if your location data says you've been there, and your DNA is found at the crime scene, even though it may not by itself be enough to get you convicted, it makes all other evidence much more believable.

Fusionbox | Python + TypeScript Engineers | United States| Full-time | REMOTE (Legal to work in the US) We're a software engineering consultancy that builds enterprise software the right way. We negotiate the right to open source all our client code, maintain a handful of popular libraries, and our engineers contribute to Django core. We sponsor PyCon, DjangoCon, and Django Girls because we're invested in the ecosystem we build on.

We're looking for software engineers who value software design, system architecture, and collaboration. You should be comfortable with about half of these areas and eager to learn the rest: web application security, relational database design (PostgreSQL, beyond "SELECT *..."), Django internals, React, and distributed systems. What you'll actually work on: complex state machines for financial workflows, multi-tenant architectures with row-level security, custom database functions when the ORM isn't enough, and React frontends that handle real-time data without being a mess of useEffect hooks.

We're a small team where you'll own features end-to-end (database design to React components) and have opportunities to shape technical decisions. You'll get paid to write source code with a team that practices empathy and values work-life balance.

Not sure how the entire Nazi comparison plays out, but at the time there were good reasons to imagine the Soviets will fall apart (as they initially did)

Stalin just finished purging his entire officer corps, which is not a good omen for war, and the USSR failed miserably against the Finnish who were not the strongest of nations, while Germany just steamrolled France, a country that was much more impressive in WW1 than the Russians (who collapsed against Germany)

Rent control absolutely causes a reduction in supply: there's a reason rent controlled buildings have apartments in poor condition that owners do not renovate (so a reduction in quality supplied) and many are held off market or converted to owner occupancy through condos and TICs (so a reduction in quantity supplied). Not to mention the units underused by long term tenants who maintain them as secondary residences.

Ok, then you disempower your own experience and outsource authority to a (collective) externality? If you are comfortable with that trade, I get it. I am just more in favor of individual autonomy/sovereignty.

However, focusing on a sophist "objective materialism" vs "subjective epistemology" distracts from the core issue: what is happening? and what do you believe?

I made aithings.dev because I got tired of chasing random AI links all over the internet. It’s a clean, fast directory where you can find everything AI-related — tools, tutorials, communities, tweets, books, and other resources that actually help you build or learn.

It’s minimal, no ads, no spam, just useful links with short context. Still early, but growing fast — feedback or suggestions are super welcome!

Seriously, I think it is a petty mistake to characterize Ruby as unserious. I am not drawn to the language myself, and my previous interest in it waned after debugging dependency rot in a cloud deployed Rails app more than 10 years ago. However, to label it as unserious would be nearly as unserious as labelling python unserious.

Holy shit Kyle. I had no idea you were working on this. This is amazing. Your patch is also very instructive on what you need me to do for you to make this more reasonable.

I'm guessing that performance of this relative to xterm right now isn't... the best, mainly because the way you're grabbing the viewport seems expensive. I'm curious though if you did any benchmarks?

One thing you probably really want to expose is the new RenderState API: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/blob/main/src/termina... You're doing per row line grabbing currently which is probably pretty slow. The RenderState API is stateful and produces the state necessary to create a high-performance, delta update renderer. It's what our production GPU renderers are now built on (but the API itself is compatible with any kind of renderer). It'd be better for you.

After all that, I'm very curious even at this rudimentary level what the performance on various benchmarks look like compared to xterm.js.

Excellent work!

I agree, and I also am familiar with how WP Engine's 'GES' (global edge security) works. obr.uk points to two IP addresses held in the name of WP Engine, but they're actually BYOIP with Cloudflare. Cloudflare act as a caching layer, DDOS mitigation and WAF.

Note that GES works a bit different to traditional Cloudflare implementations, HTML requests are basically passed through to the WP Engine NGINX reverse proxy server that's in front of the WordPress site (as opposed to being heavily cached with Cloudflare). Static assets, like a PDF - would indeed be cached with GES.

It is happening, in spite many won't really deeply believe. Every day 33 brits are arrested for what they say online.

It's happening, and it's time we say no. It's uncomfortable, but we need to do it en masse, right now.

Do not buy backdoored hardware, help others get rid of the backdoors, use anonymous technology to organize protests.

There has to be a line.

I am not defending it's use but a secret program is a targeted program, you can't use it in sweeping arrests without parallel construction. Whereas with an openly existing program you can point out that someone has been talking to their friend about how to get abortion medication and arrest them.

The real issue with 100% enforcement of law is it requires a society with differing values to not just agree on which laws exist but what just punishment is. Without leeway for differing social judgement or bifurcation.

I still love the concept of the USA. However, please make this make sense to me. How did we get here?

This is the man involved with:

1. Copy-pasting Putin's request to end NATO and the post-war rules based order that made us all rich as a society.

2. Pardoning major criminals who even I, as a news junkie, didn't know existed.

3. Pushing the Fed to make bad calls.

4. Renaming the DoD to the Department of War!

5. Starting a war with Venezuela.

6. n+1 ??

I just want my nephews to be safer than they were yesterday. Is that what is happening now?

Disclaimer: please note that I avoided all the internal USA "politics" stuff.

Double Disclaimer: Cannot make this up. At this very moment, I am watching the movie "The Founder", and loving it. Still, wtf 2025 USA?
