I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

I once worked in a React codebase where the tech lead insisted on a policy of memoization, such that everyone was obliged to either tediously walk through the dependencies of every single component, or just defensively memoize everything. It was ridiculous and nightmarish.

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration. This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power. It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

Donald Trump said: " I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them, but they are here for the nation ... From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour." JK it was Hitler

@t3.gg I'm curious whether you've considered offering data privacy guarantees as a premium feature on T3 Chat: AFAICT there are some inference providers that offer such guarantees, and to which you could ostensibly route requests?

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

This simple and sober comparison implies something that I hadn't put my finger on before today: Next.js often puts developers in to a mindset of complex orchestrations and optimizations, *before it is appropriate for their product* 🤦‍♂️ www.kylegill.com/essays/next-...

This just feels like a more honest bumper sticker for me. I knew. I just didn’t know know.

Thank you for those answers! I guess what I've been finding, is that the shadcn model can be somewhat higher-overhead than it seems at first: that the fact that you (have to) own your components cuts both ways

Hey @jherr.dev, you've done a lot of tutorials using Mantine in the past, I'd be very interested to know how you currently view it vs options that are more in the "shadcn" paradigm these days—and for which use-cases/conditions you would recommend it

They break the law on purpose—not out of necessity, but to prove they can. It’s a stress test, a spectacle, a lesson in power: the law only applies if it is enforced. And when it isn’t, it ceases to exist. This is how oligarchy is installed—not in secret, but in plain sight, daring you to stop it.
