So, the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden is completely destroyed, as well. The entire eastern wing of the White House complex has been destroyed.

Rose Garden gaudily previously paved over, flowers and trees ripped out.

SCOTUS enabled this when they ruled any act done by the POTUS is beyond reproach.

We're now in a dictatorship. Ruled by the dumbest dictator to have ever come to power.

The article about Clang's bytecode interpreter (for constexpr evaluation etc) is super interesting, but I'm still incredibly amused by C++ compiler authors having to care about interpreter performance

https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2025/10/15/clang-bytecode-interpreter-update

Anyway, this just is another fun example interpreters and compilers being intermingled in silly ways. We put a (bytecode) compiler into your compiler so you can compile (and then interpret) while you compile

If you add a label to the satellite imagine of the White House, it looks exactly like a slide from a Pentagon press briefing after a successful bombing run.

Back when there were Pentagon press briefings.

Boycotts, strikes and more protests: organizers on what’s next for No Kings | Protest (US) | The Guardian:

"Because a lot of people have observed, it’s a lot of white people at these rallies. Where’s everybody else? Where are the black people, the Latino people."

The same people who blamed Black and Latino voters for Trump, who openly said Latino culture is sexist, are now wondering where are the Black and Latino protesters.

These are always so funny. “It’s like you’re a surgeon” … “you’re a conductor of an orchestra” … “you’re an executive and AI is your intern”

lol, no. You’re just a person using a machine, trained on data stolen on an unfathomable scale, operated by an industry that is doing tremendous harm, and you’re either oblivious or willfully complicit.

Enough with the bullshit analogies. Stop trying to glorify any of this.

re: @anildash's article about OpenAI's webpageless "browser": I feel this is the natural evolution of the "web". people are all like "bring back the old web" about the old days of open standards and smaller communities and handmade websites and all that, but you know what's really the essence of the web? MOTHERFUCKING HYPERLINKS. and those have been disappearing and VERY FEW PEOPLE CARE.

thanks to walled gardens and "apps" it's easier for most people to post a screenshot of another site than actually link to it, apparently. thanks to Google's info cards and now "AI" "summary", people don't even have to visit a page to get an answer. "according to google…" WHICH WEBSITE, MOTHERFUCKER. IT ACTUALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

thoughts, facts, news become sourceless, non-updated, decontextualized, undated images, slowly decaying as they get copied and re-uploaded again and again. a copy of a copy of a copy. is that photo of a massive protest from last weekend or 5 years ago? did the author of that article later update saying "whoops, I was totally wrong"? who wrote this insightful post? who knows? who cares!

yeah yeah i rant about this all the time i don't care im still mad

These were my answers. I’m sure they’re excitingly career-limiting, and who knows if they’ll change any outcome of anything, but sufficiently advanced spite is indistinguishable from imagining Sisyphus happy.
