Announcing "our product attracts the kind of people who want to verbally abuse something that can't fight back on a level we've had to address structurally" feels like a little bit of a self-own, tbh, but thankfully I'm not in charge of their marketing.

We have learned of a website (which we are not linking to) that is charging people to pay to play knockoffs of popular board games like Catan, Wingspan, Agricola and more - different names, crappy art, same mechanics.

"Killing Hasan in full public view would make him a martyr on a bigger scale than any suicide attack ever could: there would be footage of the US state killing him, available for use by any recruiter, at any time. To call it a gift to the USA’s enemies would be the understatement of the century."

If you have ever read a book to a baby, you will realize it's not a linear experience. The baby wants to turn pages backward, wants to ask questions (if they're old enough), wants to examine the pages and get really excited if they can say "bear!" even if the word "bear!" is not on the page.

Software engineering could and should be done with the same care as any other type of engineering. This is a post in honor of Margaret Hamilton (and also a subtweet of all vibe-coders everywhere).
Screencap

"“I fought to bring the software legitimacy so that it — and those building it — would be given its due respect, and thus I began to use the term ‘software engineering’ to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process,” Hamilton told El Pais in 2018. “When I first started using this phrase, it was considered to be quite amusing. It was an ongoing joke for a long time. They liked to kid me about my radical ideas. Software eventually and necessarily gained the same respect as any other discipline.”"

Some survivors experience breakthroughs in therapy, feel better, & that's the process for them. But in my experience, most survivors recover by working day by day to develop new patterns of thinking, feeling, believing, & behaving. It's an ongoing project, not a therapy problem.

Das hat die Bundesregierung 2020 - mit Ausnahme der AfD - offiziell anerkannt und damit den Weg frei gemacht für Entschädigungen für Menschen, die als sogenannte "Asoziale" oder "Berufsverbrecher" verfolgt wurden

Like, every so often, someone comes rushing out to say 'I think we invented AGI' and, if that were true, the next words out of your mouth ought to be "and so we now have moral obligations towards this new being we created" and somehow that is not generally what I see comes next.
