conservatism in america has basically been a cascade of mostly straight white men saying the worst things possible about marginalized people, moving on to another group of people when society at large decides that earlier demonization is no longer acceptable.

Zod got THREE TIMES faster by updating its tsconfig target from `es5` to `es2018`.

Turns out `es2018` is the earliest target that *doesn't* transpile the spread operator to `Object.assign`. Might be an easy performance win for other libs.

@Gwynnion I have started thinking that one of the great mistakes of modern times is regarding liberal democracy as stable and normal.

Fascism is, like death, the end towards which systems drift, and that drift can only be prevented by continuous energy.

This is how you write a headline to expose politicians operating in bad faith. Kudos to whoever wrote this at the @washingtonpost.

The Grey Lady seems to be continuing to lose her grip on reality. Is it senility, or just being too monied to have to actually interface with said reality?

Anyway, what news source(s) should I replace it with in my RSS feed?

Imagine living in the US today, where the #1 source of domestic terrorism is far-right groups(per FBI!), books about slavery are getting banned, parents are criminalized for trans kids, yet asserting the 1st amendment is about protecting bigots from feeling embarrassed in public.

If you want the right to speak without fear of being shamed or shunned then straight up, just straight forwardly, you’re opposed to free speech. Democracy and openness is the rowdy one where we’re all free to annoy and despise each other. You want the other thing.

The fucking New York Times does it again. The EDITORIAL BOARD for Christ’s sake.

There is absolutely no such thing as a “fundamental right” to voice your opinions in public “without fear of being shamed or shunned.” This is lunacy.

When Russia sanctioned Canada, it barred leaders from all major federal parties, including conservative leaders.

But when Russia sanctioned the U.S., it barred Democratic leaders only. It didn’t name a single GOP leader.

The signal couldn’t be clearer.

Congress is not trapped in gridlock. It is being poisoned by one party. The House passed over 200 bills in 2021. The GOP blocked all of them.

MIT no longer has a mask requirement. Our research group discussed whether to keep masks on for indoor meetings so that everyone feels comfortable attending. Today, an email from the Vice Chancellor says that’s not allowed.

@volkadav I wish someone would make one of these for phone numbers too. Was real fun when I only had an Icelandic phone number and had to continue to deal with American companies whose forms couldn't deal with that.

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") wrote:

This is great and I've often sent it to fellow software devs every time they make any assertion about names.

#20 applies to Iceland. It is most common for a mother, father, son and daughter to all have different "last names". Which I've heard can cause issues when traveling.

re: last couple of RTs, names are something we should treat as carefully as datetimes as software engineers. https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ is instructive. best working compromise i've found so far is give users an unbounded text field that stores utf8.

@travisthetechie I'm a Rust fan so if you ever want to brainstorm feel free to ping me. 😊

And yeah, Rust does like to pass a lot of things by reference. "Zero-cost abstractions" are a language/community value. If a function doesn't need to keep a thing around (and it's not Copy), folks prefer &

Russia has sanctioned Joe Biden and a range of other top US officials.

The main impact of this is they can now make corny jokes on cable news about how they won't be able to access their Russian bank accounts or go on vacation in Siberia, I guess

Just occurred to me that of course conservatives who are fearmongering about trans kids think progressive parents must be forcing this on their kids and programming them into accepting it—because that’s how they relate to their children, with authoritarianism.

@travisthetechie Yup. I hate The Algorithm. It's trending toward "engagement" over utility.

I started just fetching tweets via their API and putting it into my own social network, which I use as a combined RSS/Twitter/Mastodon feed reader.
