It occurred to me this morning that it has now been over a decade in which we have all been forced to hear something about Donald Trump every fucking day - often many times a day.

There are people in journalism who have no experience of a world in which we actually covered many different topics in a day.

I feel like I've been mentally force fed McDonalds for ten years non-stop.

I would like it to be over before I die, please.

reading docs is helpful -- during today's short look at #Python docs, I discovered that as of 3.14 functools.partial() may take placeholders: this makes it possible to pre-fill any positional argument with a call to partial(); without Placeholder, only the chosen number of leading positional arguments can be pre-filled.

@StephanMatthiesen @futurebird @pomegranate_stew We are still far from it. ~15 years ago I had a Catalan flatmate in Munich. She played football back near Barcelona when she grew up. She and her friends here went to watch Barça games. Those girls just owned that pub on match night. They didn't need any males, they just got drunk and loud on their own. Once she ran into me across the street and did a finger whistle the whole block turned their heads. ln German villages that's all "dude behavior".

The vast majority of people who will be impacted by trans bans in sports will be little girls with short hair or arms that are "too muscular."

It will also mean that when a woman is good at her sport the disgusting grumbling and whispering about "may she is he" gets taken more seriously.

This happened with Paula Radcliffe for running marathons too fast. If it helps you to think of a white cis woman being the victim of this.

Of course little black girls will take the brunt of this. As ever.

Just saw claude one shot porting a suite of mocha/chai/testing-library unit tests for a vanilla web app to a vanilla runner in about ten minutes. The runner’s code is clean and minimal, the test files look a lot like the mocha version did, and the 135 tests passed on the first try.

I don’t know whether to be happy for vanilla web dev that LLMs are this good at writing that code, or sad that the time of writing code myself is coming to a close.

TFW tech boosters co-opt the language of critical analysis and advocacy to argue the only way to fight “bad AI” is to make “good AI” not acknowledging that it doesn’t actually solve the problems they themselves copy-pasted—sorry, I mean cited—from those who have been talking about it for years

(This is a generalisation, not a sub-post, a distinction that matters. I’ve seen several guys make this same argument in this same way over the past month)

@slembcke to confirm what someone else said while I was asleep, it’s an independent third party tracker called the “missing” github status page. https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

they track ten subsystems separately, which are each in the 96% to 99.9% range, then overlay all those incidents on the same timeline to arrive at 90% overall.

I do not have any particular stance on whether github’s own tracker or this third party one is more fair and accurate, beyond “90-90-90 is hilarious” and observing only one of them has a contractual stake in possibly sometimes downplaying issues a little bit.

Resources are running low, rent needs to be paid and the relevant support systems are distinctly unhelpful, so I'm going to be pushing out more LinkedIn-relevant articles for the next little while. Apologies to those who read my work for the critical essays.
