I'm appalled to see the European Commission apparently embracing closed source, commercial, ID and age verification mandatory, social media today - in the very face of the technology sovereignty and online freedoms debates. I think they've just thrown away the greatest opportunity to be the […]

I built an esoteric programming language: rphle.de/tzap It only has 4 instructions and no arbitrary values like numbers or memory addresses. I challenge you to implement Fibonacci in it! #esolang #pldev #programming #programminglanguages #challenge

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

I'm glad they put that orange cone in front of it, otherwise people wouldn't notice the rocket.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay, because the sin of pie is always zero.

a detail you probably didn't know: no where in any #curl documentation do we use the word "very". It is a banned word enforced by a CI check. This rule encourages us to rewrite and instead use more appropriate words. Makes us write better English.

While I'm generally opposed to AI-assisted coding, I think using LLMs to write tests is a great time saver.

Today I learned 'bool' is a subclass of 'int' in Python. Before Python introduced a boolean type, it used 0 and 1 for truth values. 'bool' was later designed to behave like 0 and 1 to maintain backward compatibility. #python #programming #python2 #python3 #til

>>> isinstance(True, int)
True
>>> issubclass(bool, int)
True

I love playing around with Google Trends. 😄 Here’s Google search interest for “remove president” from 2020 to 2025. #googletrends #google #removepresident #president #trump #biden #datascience #dataisbeautiful #visualization #politics #jan6 #graph #plot #matplotlib

A matplotlib plot titled "Google Search Interest Over Time: 'Remove President' (US)" shows the relative search interest for the phrase "Remove President" in the United States from July 2020 to May 2025. The y-axis represents search interest, while the x-axis spans from July 2020 to May 2025. The graph features a colored area under the curve: red shading highlights periods around significant political events, while blue shading covers the rest.

Key political events are marked with vertical dashed lines and labels, including:
- 2020 Election (Nov 2020)
- Capitol Riot (Jan 2021)
- Biden Inauguration (Jan 2021)
- Afghanistan Withdrawal (Aug 2021)
- Jan 6 Committee Report (Dec 2022)
- Trump Assassination Attempt (Jul 2024)
- 2024 Election (Nov 2024)
- Trump 2nd Inauguration (Jan 2025)
- "Liberation Day" Tariffs (Mar 2025)

Notable spikes in search interest occur around the 2020 Election, Capitol Riot, Biden Inauguration, and again after the 2024 Election and Trump’s 2nd Inauguration. The graph visually links peaks in search activity to these political milestones, suggesting increased public concern or controversy during these times.

I don't usually post for #Caturday because I don't have a cat myself — but luckily, other people do! Spotted in the window of an antiquarian bookshop in Wrocław, Poland.

Make Python imports great again. 🔥

$PIP package page: 👊 TARIFF 🔥 The GREATEST, most TREMENDOUS Python package that makes importing great again! About TARIFF is a fantastic tool that lets you impose import tariffs on Python packages. We're going to bring manufacturing BACK to your codebase by making foreign imports more EXPENSIVE! Installation pip install tariff Usage import tariff # Set your tariff rates (package_name: percentage) tariff.set({ "numpy": 50, # 50% tariff on numpy "pandas": 200, # 200% tariff on pandas "requests": 150 # 150% tariff on requests }) # Now when you import these packages, they'll be TARIFFED! import numpy # This will be 50% slower import pandas # This will be 200% slower$

Abstract: "Wikipedia has teamed up with ICE Air to deport rogue AI scrapers while maintaining its commitment to transparency, routing all deportation orders through Gmail to ensure every 'confidential' memo becomes public domain..."
