“has proven so controversial that the Catholic universities initially associated with it have all denied official involvement”

Journalists have a real knack for warping banal things into sensational, ominous nonsense. The implication here is that that universities are monolithic coordinated machines with a single voice where all things are organized top-down. Some club here is hosting this event. That’s it. We had clubs at university that did the same thing. The quoted passages read like factual answers to questions posed by journalists to the Angelicum’s and CUA’s communications offices, not some frantic “distancing” or gotchas. They probably don’t care one way or another.

“the Catholic magazine First Things”

Not officially Catholic. Ecumenical is perhaps a better term. Even that word is not accurate, as there are plenty of contributions from Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, etc writers.

“an ancient Christian concept of the order of love, received a famous slapdown from Pope Francis […] Prevost shared an article […] with the headline, ‘JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.’”

Charitably, Francis and then-Prevost were critical of what they privately perceived as a misapplication or misunderstanding of this principle, not the principle itself. Prevost’s own Augustinian order draws heavily from St. Augustine who expounded the concept of ordo amoris/ordo caritatis. The concept isn’t an endorsement of national chauvinism, but merely that our love must be prioritized and ordered. It is a moral obligation and is simply part of and entailed by the natural law.

In any case, I don’t see any relevance to the article. It’s like some mish-mash of disconnected propositions held together by dubious or meaningless associations to imply something significant has taken place. Or would have sufficed to say “Peter Thiel lecturing on the Antichrist in Rome”.

interesting approach. i've noticed a lot of LLM workflows eventually turn into these small step pipelines (prompt → transform → check → next step), but people usually glue them together with scripts.
having a lightweight way to define that flow explicitly seems useful.
curious where you see this fitting compared to things like langchain / flow-based tools — is the goal mainly simplicity and transparency of the steps?

I think Doctor Who was finding its feet in the Hartnell era and it was Troughton who really first defined the character to what he became later.

In the Hartnell era, the Doctor was a grandfather I think, looked old (although Hartnell was much younger than he appeared, thanks to the war etc) and seems to have been human.

Disingenuous, but I'm sure you know that and were being intentionally so. The government is not using alcohol age laws as a justification to place a camera in your bedroom to make sure you aren't sneaking booze, but it is using internet age laws as a justification to surveil your entire life in a world which is becoming increasingly digital-mandatory to participate in government services or the economy. Nobody had a problem with internet age laws when "are you over 13? yes/no" was legally sufficient.

The funniest part about this is that he either IS or is good friends with the Antichrist he claims is returning.

What sort of mental gymnastics would be required to not only convince yourself the end of days is here, but that it's not directly being caused by the guy who is indiscriminately bombing foreign countries and spends each morning have a group of evangelical zealots call him the chosen one while praying on him.

It makes sense for sites with a lot of static pages, but you barely need react in that case. NextJS does not perform that well out of the box. I’d argue that a basic SPA with no SSR using something like preact would be a better choice for many building dashboards or applications (not marketing/docs sites). It’s also easier to host & operate and has fewer footguns.

Getting SSR right is tricky and barely even matters for a lot of use cases I’m seeing with Next.

Better server/client integration when it comes to rendering UIs is neat, but there are other technologies that solve for that at a more fundamental level (htmx, phoenix)

> Fine websites for not using this API (ex: porn sites).

Recent posters here are clear that porn sites are setting every available signal that they are serving adult-only content.

According to them, you are targeting the wrong audience.

Facebook/Instagram studying how to get young users addicted should be of greater concern. I have my doubts about the effectiveness of age-based blocking there, though.

They will if they are at all "technically curious" and bump-up against the limits of "ChromeOS" and running software they want to execute. A couple quick searches will find them some instructions, and boom - after a week or so, they are running Debian, their own Minecraft server, Blender (poorly), or whatever had prompted them to look for alternatives.

Never underestimate the time investment and frugality of a "technically curious" young person... Myself, I would have been a happy end-user, loading/playing games, running software - except, I bought a cheap modem - with physical IRQ jumpers - and no documentation - and it's default jumper settings conflicted with my mouse in Windows. If it hadn't been for that cheap/frugal purchase and then having to invest the time to troubleshoot, I wouldn't have become "technical" and moved on to greater and greater challenges and learning experiences. Most people would have just returned it and got an external modem instead, or given-up on even the possibility of connecting to BBS's...

What is fundamentally different from the late 80's/early 90's, is now there is a tremendous wealth of knowledge on the internet to actually facilitate that troubleshooting type of learning activity. Is that better? Well - there will always be a "known solution", but what I find many people do now, is follow whatever the first set of instructions they find, treating them like a "magical spell", without knowing/learning "why/how"... [And if the first set of instructions doesn't work, the majority just "give up"]

Overall - in my experience, the percentage of people who are truly "technically curious" is about the same as it ever was - single-digits... It ultimately depends on whether or not their interests/passions/blockers align with being forced to go "beyond" their comfort zone.

I'm glad that's how it works where you live. In Illinois, most school funding comes directly from property taxes, meaning rich areas get more.

For state funding, they use a system called EBF which is better than straightforwardly giving out money based on local property taxes. However, it is far from fair. As an example, part of the calculation is what's called a "regionalization factor" - where funding is reduced for areas with lower local average incomes.

The problem is in how these tools are sold to them. Not everybody can be an expert in every topic. Like in every other application area, these AI systems are promoted as being able to do about a thousand times more, and a million times more reliably, than they actually are. Of course the departments can be expected to do some due diligence and instruct their officers, but the lies by AI system suppliers is where a large part of the blame belongs. Manufacturers of cameras or CCTV systems never told the police department that the system would do their job for them.

> Having said that, open-source zero-knowledge proofs are infinitely less evil (I refuse to say "better") than commercial cloud-based age monitoring baked into every OS

To be honest, I worry that the framing of this legislation and ZKP generally presents a false dichotomy, where second-option bias[1] prevails because of the draconian first option.

There's always another option: don't implement age verification laws at all.

App and website developers shouldn't be burdened with extra costly liability to make sure someone's kids don't read a curse word, parents can use the plethora of parental controls on the market if they're that worried.

Help me understand why you would delete your AWS account if the company and email address are unchanged - I can’t see the motivation.

And on the flip side I can easily see why not allowing email addresses to be used again is a reasonable security stance, email addresses are immutable and so limiting them only to one identity seems logical.

Sounds quite frustrating for this user of course but I guess it sounds a bit silly to me.

Nothing is a schizo as your desperately trying to defend a pedophile by lying in such an off-the-rails totally obvious way that it's trivial to prove you're wrong by quoting Trump's own words to you. That shows you had no better arguments that you thought lying through your teeth and hoping nobody would notice was your best strategy. And why the FUCK are you so pro-pedophilia that you'd sacrifice your own reputation like that? It looks VERY suspicious, indeed.

I don’t mind looking stupid. It’s actually an important part of my identity - I lay my humanity bare. I am of flesh after all.

I’m starting to suspect that it’s making it more difficult for me to land a job though. I don’t know. There’s something about it. It’s almost as if businesses aren’t hiring human beings, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

I get it, but the operative point is not "potentially harder", but "literally impossible" to enforce -- unless the corp has some presence in the EU of course.

FWIW, I just checked Wikipedia to sanity-check my memory of our lawyers' guidance. Important differences from our discussion, if my read is correct:

GDPR does not apply to "EU citizens anywhere in the world", it applies to the personal data of "living persons ... inside the EU" or with data processed there.

(So GDPR would apply to a US citizen who is present in the EU, and/or being a user/customer of a vendor that operates in the EU)

From the "Misconceptions" section[0]:

> ## Misconceptions
>
> GDPR applies to anyone processing personal data of EU citizens anywhere in the world
>
> In fact, it applies to non-EU established organizations only where they are processing data of data subjects located in the EU (irrespective of their citizenship) and then only when supplying goods or services to them, or monitoring their behaviour.

(So GDPR would not apply to a EU citizen who is present in the US at the time of "processing", whether that's a service or product sale, etc)

This is important to my company. We are US-based, but have EU citizens as customers. For regulatory reasons, we block customer activity from outside the US, and we are not able to comply with GDPR (but we do have to be aware of CCPA[1] which has some similarities).

But why though? If that's what you believe and there's nothing more, we know the sun is going to explode and destroy everything and an asteroid impact is likely to happen that destroys even sooner than that, so why does that matter?

I jumped into the book after hearing all the buzz as it seemed like the big scifi hit of 2025. Killer premise and for the most part the fast pacing works... for the first third or so. But it you can feel the short story anthology vibe as it goes on and becomes practically a disconnected series of vignettes, and even the central idea itself loses cohesion. The main bad guy thing has so many manifestations that it feels like monster of the week rather than a true full book that holds onto a core sharply executed identity.

So the long and short of it is, definitely worth it for the first third and dimishing returns after that.

As for the short film, I think it's great for what it is, gets better and better as it goes and is worth the short watch. Fascinating seeing the visual depictions of the stuff the book talks about both foreground and background.
Show HN: Algorithms and Data Structures in TypeScript – Free Book (~400 Pages)
by jsontwikkeling | 2026-03-13 12:15:11+00:00
I started writing this book 10 years ago in JavaScript, got through a few
chapters (asymptotic notation, basic techniques, start of sorting), and
then abandoned it.

Recently I picked it back up, converted everything to TypeScript, and used
AI (Zenflow [1] + Claude Opus 4.6) to complete the remaining chapters. I
provided the structure, direction, and initial chapters; the AI generated
the bulk of the remaining content under a spec-driven workflow.

The book covers roughly a first 1-2 year CS curriculum: sorting, dynamic
programming, graph algorithms, trees, heaps, hash tables, and more. All
code is executable, typed with generics/interfaces, and covered with tests.

I've thoroughly reviewed several chapters (sorting, DP, graphs) and done a
high-level pass on the rest. Currently in beta — corrections and
contributions are welcome.

some report it's basically the code and certs responsible for BankID SSO

No. CGI has nothing to do with BankID.

IMO the most credible reports suggest that the source code and data involved are related to these four services:

https://www.cgi.com/se/sv/business-process-services/e-tjanst...
"Mina engagemang offers a user-friendly and flexible solution that allows your customers to manage their cases directly through a personal portal. Here, users can view, track, and interact with their ongoing cases, which enhances both transparency and efficiency in the communication process." -- some kind of ticket/case management system for gov't agencies

https://www.cgi.com/se/sv/business-process-services/elektron...
"With our secure end-to-end e-ID and eSign services, we can help you streamline document and contract management, gain access to all desired e-ID issuers, and improve cost efficiency." -- this sounds like a bad thing to compromise, but is to the best of my understanding a system for digital signatures on documents, and has no relation to BankID

https://www.cgi.com/se/sv/business-process-services/e-tjanst...
"Gain better control over your organization’s representatives with our easy-to-use representative registry. By automating the identification and verification of representatives, you’ll gain a clear overview and enhance the security of your processes." -- sounds like some bullshit CRUD app for managing who can "represent" a gov't agency

https://www.cgi.com/se/sv/business-process-services/e-tjanst...
"SHS is Sweden’s common standard for information exchange, enabling secure and efficient communication between government agencies, businesses, and organizations." -- this might be bad if real data was leaked

These are services used by various Swedish government agencies and it's pretty bad to have even a test instance of them hacked, but let's calm down. The entire Swedish state has not been compromised here.

Vite+, Void Cloud, Void Framework... an epic battle between Vercel and Void is coming.

The PRC (aka server functions) demo [0] is particularly interesting — end-to-end type safety (from DB to UI) is a major milestone for JavaScript. We've been doing a lot of RPC design work in that space with Telefunc (tRPC alternative) [1] — it's a really hard topic, and we're looking forward to collaborating with the Void team. (Also looking forward to contributing as the creators of Vike [2].)

I no longer use GitHub for original projects. Source for fftool isn't public yet but I understand the concern — running an unaudited binary is a real ask. My site leans toward educational, so that people might consider building the tool from the instructions in the article.
I'll probably post the source on the site as a zip or tarball at some point so people can more easily build it. The asciinema suggestion is a good one — I'll look into it.

Oh, stop. Tinfoil-hatting like this is how privacy and internet freedom activism gets a bad rap.

QWAC certs are only for "high value" sites: banks, government services, etc. They can only be issued by "Qualified Trust Service Providers" (e.g. digisign, D-TRUST, etc -- not governments), and cost many hundreds of euros. Your blog and mastodon instance and 98% of businesses just aren't affected.

People operating in "high risk" sectors that need access to payment infra (porn, drugs, etc) are, as always, going to have a hard time. That's a worthy conversation, but nothing about QWAC or eIDAS is about "the government not issuing certs to people they don't like".

> Genuine questions: what can be done in a democratic setting to stop him?

Thiel is only "relevant" because he's wealthy.

In a system that allows wealth to equal political power, systematically weakening the impact of wealth on civic and political systems is an effective method. Whether that can be done in America, with the current understanding of the constitution and the current philosophy that many take towards taxation/wealth is questionable; but the idea that we can do nothing is just not true. We don't need to slide back into an era of 19th century robber barons and pseudo-aristocracy. If we do, it's because we largely gave up or allowed it to happen.
