So we are going use an aircraft carrier to support Israel, one of the most powerful nations on earth, bomb Hamas and civilians in Gaza.
Fuck Hamas, I hope they die, but I don’t think we are going to win the hearts and minds of the people of Gaza if we kill a shitload of their children.
We do this all while we don’t do shit for the SDF against Turkey, the Armenians being genocided by Azerbaijan, or more forcefully helping Ukraine.

Germany's federal anti-discrimination agency has pinned a departure notice on their X account.
"As a state institution, the anti-discrimination agency has a role model function. Therefore, staying on X is no longer justifiable for us. All ministries and other public bodies should ask themselves whether it is still acceptable to remain on a platform that has become a disinformation network and whose owner spreads anti-Semitic, racist and populist content."

SVG-PCB
This open-source in-browser editor lets you design Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) from a code description. The result is a svg file suitable for most PCB prototyping solutions.
Describing the board as code clearly shows you the relation between components and wires. It also lets you generate more complex circuits based on a set of rules (e.g. for creating an array or enable optional components).

We are delighted to announce Jack Dorsey’s #startsmall is making a $500,000 USD grant to support Open Web Advocacy.
This generous donation will allow us to continue our work in advocating that the Web is special and key anti-competitive issues are holding it back from reaching its full potential as the world’s only free, open and interoperable platform.

my main takeaway from the new libcurl cve is "async/await and yield syntax is great"
like sure pervasive/mandatory bounds checks would have avoided the worst part but the root issue was "hand-writing state-machines is hard as hell"
the equivalent behaviour in a language with builtin async/await would have been a local boolean suddenly changing from true to false without it being modified -- a really evil and hard to debug compiler bug

OMG. I can't believe I'm actually sitting over here contemplating creating a separate checking account specifically for dealing with autopay to these places. :(

Had that been autopay, and it had gone through, I would've had a lot of trouble. Sure, I'd probably get it corrected eventually. But while a mistake like that would cause me a lot of harm, the company would feel nothing and be in no hurry to correct it.
Maybe it's less likely these days, but I know we write shit software, create inhuman bureaucracies, and the company has all the power. I'm just not enthusiastic to give them free reign on my checking account... :/

I am frustrated with the way various service companies are pushing to get their hands on my checking account with autopay. They're increasingly offering discounts to do so.
I understand why they're doing it, but the power imbalance bothers me. It was a long time ago, but it is fresh in my mind, I had a natural gas company try to bill me for over $3,000 worth of gas one month. They had absolutely nothing in their system to flag a ridiculous bill like that.

9/ More from @atrupar:
Scalise has parroted Putin's talking points while denying the US intelligence community's findings about Russia interfering in the 2016 election:
Dec 10, 2019
Here's Steve Scalise's suggesting that the US intelligence community's conclusion about Russia interfering in the 2016 election is false: "The only collusion that happened where Russia tried to interfere in our election was when Barack Obama was president."More...

Steve Scalise: "By the way, we had hot summers 150 years ago, when we didn't have the combustion engine. But they don't want to talk honestly about science."

Billionaire #CharlesKoch who will turn 88 on Nov 1 is funneling his wealth into two secretive organizations that can continue his RW political advocacy for years. Koch structured more than $5 billion in donations to exploit a loophole to allow him to avoid paying capital gains or gift taxes. It's not surprising that Koch is familiar with the loophole — he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying to create it.
