Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

In my experience, coding agents are incredible at producing working implementations, but still *terrible* at architecture. If you need 50 lines of tricky implementation, they'll write it for you; but they'll put it in the wrong place and call it from the wrong place.

Literally nobody, including MAGA, had any ideological commitment or pre-existing policy goal of picking a fight with Canada. This is all happening solely because the crazy old man randomly blurted it out. And that makes it worse. There's nothing to negotiate, no aim to satisfy. He's just insane.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

I strongly dislike AI writing git commit messages because it is a rite of passage to eventually have a string of increasingly desperate messages like: * should work this time * logging * for real fix * moar logging * maybe? * god help me * listen man I don't know anymore * asldfjq3049tuslfgjhl

Remember when git was new and challenging svn and one of the big selling points was about how great it was to have a decentralized version control system -- and then everyone immediately started using GitHub because a canonical center of your version control system was the only realistic way?

This is the Israeli playbook from Gaza (and Putin's in Ukraine for that matter) and it is ultra-disturbing to see the US carry out repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure. It simply does not serve a military purpose.

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Supporting anonymous accounts in apps is a deceivingly complicated task. It is a very pro-user decision (users can get started immediately and formalize their account later if they way), but at surprising development cost.
