A commitment to Quality, humility and responsibility backed-up by unity among others who share the same commitment is incredibly powerful.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: What Kamala Harris has done in the last eight weeks is unprecedented in U.S. history. We’re not just winning on margin of error. We’ve expanded the map in the United states. You saw new polls this morning — states that were not even in the conversation, now Donald Trump has to either defend or invest millions of dollars. The momentum is with us. She’s the change candidate.

Here's the trailer for the film Donald Trump doesn’t want us to see. This looks AMAZING.
Maybe the subtitle should be “The Education of a Narcissistic Psychopath.”

This, Radicle, is what I've been working on for the past year, though most of my efforts are going into adding CI support to @radicle . That's not part of the 1.0.0 release, but it's coming. I even wrote an article for @LWN about Radcicle.
I now only use Radicle for my personal Git hosting, and I am satisfied that it works for me. It might work for you.
Try "rad debug" which is something I made.

The main aspect of the PERQ machines that sticks in my brain is the C compiler's use of graphics RAM, causing the display to go weird during compilation. Yet another example of my interest in sensory experiences more than CS, I suppose. 😸

“The value of his 57 percent stake in Trump Media — which he was given primarily in exchange for lending his name and support to the platform — has fallen by $4 billion since the company’s Wall Street debut in March.
Trump Media is losing tens of millions of dollars each quarter and struggling to generate sufficient advertising revenue from Truth Social to justify even its current lower valuation.”

“…Mr. Trump is now the oldest person ever to run for president on a major party ticket and, if he wins, would become the oldest president in history by the end of his term, when he would be 82. While he managed to sidestep questions about his own capacity while Mr. Biden was his opponent, the rival he will square off against at Tuesday’s prime-time debate in Philadelphia will be Vice President Kamala Harris, who at 59 is nearly two decades younger.”

I *frequently* have the experience of telling folks that they can pull in some components from a Web Components design system (Fluent WC v3, or Material, or Spectrum, or Web Awesome), only to have people who *were just telling me that 45KB is "not a lot" for a framework* get cold feet at the idea that there might be 5-10K of library coming along for the ride.
So then you press a little...ok, so if size is an issue...will you *at least* switch to Preact?

As a result, they construct an echo chamber that *assumes* framework choice is totalising. That the idea of sharing componentry from multiple frameworks *must* be unwieldy and expensive. And then they perpetuate those entirely falsified premises to the next set of bootcamp grads.
They're constantly erecting mini-shrines to IE 9, and let me tell y'all...it had some real upsides, but it wasn't a good enough browser to be worth *this* sort of veneration.

Writing a post on how frontend technology choice-making is extremely broken in 2024, even on the Lemon Vendors [1] own terms, and I ran across the perfect word to describe how the React ecosystem is trapped in a legacy cage of its own continual re-making: stovepiping:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stovepiping
Folks trapped in these priors spout zombie ideas and undead arguments because they've never experienced the modern web as developers. Not really.

As a Haitian-American I am appalled and terrified at what we're seeing today.
Elected officials, using their verified government accounts (even the US HOUSE JUDICIARY ACCOUNT) are spreading a story that is provably false in order to stoke violence against Haitians. This was literally outlined in the DOJ documents about the Russian efforts to spread misinformation.
Every Haitian in America that I know is terrified. I just don't know how we address something like this when half (if not more) of our country is willing to act on straight-up disinformation
What are we supposed to do? How can you ever get through to people that would believe stuff like this?

@slightlyoff I am basically at the point now where I've been burned by 3rd party dependencies enough that I basically assume that using anything from npm is like lighting a fuse that'll explode at some undetermined time in the future.
How many active fuses are you willing to light today? How many have you extinguished? How likely is imminent time absorbing doom for your project?
