One thing I find fascinating about Republican voters and the mainstream media is that Trump routinely says things like this and -- well, you may not have heard, but the man is running for President of the United States -- and nobody just says outright, "WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN? WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT?"

"Why is my compile taking so long?!" If you are a Rust programmer, you have asked yourself this question many times -- and likely discovered that the answer (as in so many things!) is that it's complicated. Tomorrow on Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I will be joined by our colleagues @smklein and @rain to dig into some of these complexities -- and get concrete about the tooling that they have used to understand where all of the time is going!

@slightlyoff @maarteuh @sindarina right and it's not just having API compatibility that hinders PWA deployment over Native Apps on iOS... it's performance and memory leaks.
Web apps, with deeper experiences and long lived sessions really start to suffer under iOS Safari and these things matter. If your PWA experience can't get near native in terms of perf and stability then it's not an easy argument to make.
So yeah, things have, and are, getting better on iOS but they are far from solved.

a strike on a Baltic Sea port would be a deep strike indeed
'"A successful attack on such a terminal not only causes economic damage to the enemy, depriving the occupiers of the opportunity to earn money to wage war in Ukraine, but also significantly complicates the logistics of fuel for the Russian military."
Reuters could not confirm that the fire resulted from a Ukrainian drone attack.
If it did, such an attack would demonstrate Kyiv's ability to conduct strikes deeper into Russia than usual using what are believed to be domestically produced drones at a time when it is on the defensive on the battlefield and struggling to secure as much Western financing as it wants.
Such an attack, the latest in a spate of apparent strikes in recent days targeting Russian energy facilities, would also raise awkward questions about the quality of Russian air defence systems around key infrastructure facilities.'

You know, I always recommend Bosch e-bike systems to people, but I think I'm going to stop. Their newest system is so laden with DRM that I can't actually update anything even though I'm one of the certified technicians who's supposed to be able to do so even according to their evil DRM scheme. It's been literally months since I got certified and I still can't get access on my stupid DRM account. Seriously, just don't buy Bosch motors.

putin signed a decree declaring the sale of #Alaska to the #USA as illegal.
Extract
This action signals the start of a demand for the territory's return and potentially entering into conflict with the superpower. However, this is just political posturing today, and no rational person would suggest that russia could assault the United States.Read more here🔗 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-stokes-tensions-with-us-declares-1867-sale-of-alaska-illegal/ar-BB1h1lcT

I have never experienced the unbridled hate I felt on J6, but I have still thought about this specific moment a lot over the years. I think more people ought to experience that for themselves. I worry not just about this year, but the next 10 years, the next 15.
