No matter how much pressure Trump puts on Zelenskyy, Putin never gets closer to ending the war. It must be confusing for him.

Where do you get a job as an election fraudster in the US? Seems pretty cushy as you only have to work every eight years.

I have no problem with the Department of Defense -> War rename, but they should at least finish the job. Department of Injustice, Environmental Destruction Agency etc etc?

This is it. America has lost Britain. By insulting the British Army and those who fought and died alongside the US in Afghanistan, Trump’s America has destroyed the “special relationship.” If that doesn’t sound like much to you, it should. #NATO #Trump

Trump's BS irritates me on a daily basis but I think today is the time I've felt viscerally, personally angry. Along with most people in the UK too I imagine.

When confusion becomes cheap and abundant, verified information becomes a luxury good. We're seeing the emergence of 'truth as a service' - premium subscriptions for what used to be basic journalism. #misinformation

empathy is toxic, bro
3 panel comic

Panel 1:
Two characters are lying on a conveyor belt that is slowly feeding them into a meat grinder. A Pink Guy is closest to the grinder. He is duct taped and tied up. A Blue Guy in sun glasses is next to him. He is not tied up and there is a lever saying “Stop” above his head.
Pink Guy yells, “HELP! PULL THE LEVER!”
Blue Guy casually says “No can do, bro. Empathy is toxic”

Panel 2:
The Pink Guy is crushed by the grinder as the Blue Guy folds his arms across his chest and says “Caring is weakness, bro”

Panel 3:
The Blue Guy starts to get crushed by the grinder. His agonised last words are “What’s in it for me, bro?”

Pity we didn't already have a standard doc file name isn't it 😀 just generally the proliferation of project root config files is getting out of hand. Has anyone tried to solve this yet?

They can find the relevant docs, but at least with our current generation of models it's about how much you want to pollute the context window before you get to the meat of things. At least standards are emerging to tame some of the mess.

GitHub Agents are pretty mindblowing 🤯 I have a reasonably complex TypeScript project using Hexagonal architecture and event sourcing. I just asked "Rewrite in Rust". The output is fully tested and appears to be totally equivalent, my UI works with it just the same. All tokio async too.
