The United States Department of Health and Human Services just informed employees they need not respond to the email demanding they share their weekly accomplishments. However, if they do respond, HHS tells them “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors.”

Nobody told me that Manning published a book titled `Classic Game Programming on the NES: Make your own retro video game` just last year. It looks pretty good. It seems to tackle a lot of generic retro game problems in the context of the #NES. It covers multiple tools (code editors, NES graphics and music editors). It has a couple chapters just on getting up to speed with 6502 ASM. I haven't read it, yet, but I'm gonna get it soon!

Halfway through the museum tour, the alien ambassador froze, tentacles up in a gesture of surprise.
"Er..." the guide said. "Hokusai's 'Dream of the Fisherman's Wife' is-"
"Shklzis, one of our best artists, made a similar piece. Centuries ago, long before we met."
"Er... Great minds think alike?"

“LONG LIVE THE REAL KING” overlaid the apparently AI-generated video, in reference to Trump calling himself a king… more than a dozen screens scattered throughout the building (on almost every floor) showcased the video. Staffers scrambled to grab recordings before the video was taken down.’

@pzmyers Also, as a manager in tech, "five things you did this week" is an insane way to approach this, given that any given thing my team or I do can be broken up to a nearly infinite level of "tasks" while still sounding like each one was weighty if you have no real idea about how my technology base works -- or, equally, sounding like each one was busywork/makework if you don't understand how complicated software development can be.
As a COMPETENT manager, I operate under the assumption that any professional skill I haven't been trained in is at LEAST as complicated as what I know, so I assume the same thing is true for 99% of the Federal Government.
