AI poses a danger to our cognitive capabilities, by clogging our capacity to develop the knowledge we need – in our heads – to navigate the world. It’s a cognitive hot dog. Read our detailed breakdown from @benjaminjriley.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

structuredClone() is great and all, but sometimes you need a method that does not care as much, and JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...)) is that method.
A screenshot of a Node.js REPL session with the following input and output:
> x
{ x: 1, y: undefined, z: null, a: [Function: a] }
> JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(x))
{ x: 1, z: null }
> structuredClone(x)
Uncaught:
DOMException [DataCloneError]: () => { console.log('lol'); } could not be cloned.

Farage is a fascist, but also a populist. He knows people in general hate OSA and will use that to get votes and smear Labour, and it will work. I swear, Labour makes the same mistakes American Democrats do and it is going to lead to UK looking exactly like USA in a few years.

As someone involved in implementing authentication/login, I have been curious what the best advice for passkeys is. Specifically: is just passkey only, no 2fa considered "secure"? I've argued with some who still think you need a TOTP code or something after passkey login.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

If you want to drive in our densest, most transit-rich environments and cause pollution, congestion, and safety hazards, that’s fine, but you’ll have to pay and if that upsets you well so it goes. Drivers have had it their way for a century at the literal expense of everyone.

> Cancelling/not approving the cards of anyone without good credit This is probably a good outcome then. If the credit/banking industry invented an entire system to rate people’s ability to pay back debt and it says they don’t handle debt well, then that person probably shouldn’t have a CC.
