Do you make drag-and-drop interfaces? Or do you wish you did, but they're just too hard?
We're working on a new way to drag & drop! Wanna try it out? Join our study – we'll ask you about your drag-and-drop experiences, and get your hands on the prototype.
Join here: forms.gle/J82tFtu6DqS8.... 🙏!

a text editor is a projective visual direct manipulation programming tool which converts abtract syntax to a tangible, material, spatialized substance (text), and uses a tactile peripheral (keyboard) to effect rich semantic transformations in a physicalized humanized ergonomic milieu

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
“We cannot just abolish ICE!”
Bestie, you are older than ICE.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

I am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was.
I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works"
NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T

You don't have to dirty your soul to be a successful academic or a scientist. Have some fucking pride. Have some fucking principles.
If you think you DO need to do that, all I can say is that I beg you not to go into academia or science.

Elm obviously. It made functional programming mainstream
C++ => Rust
C => Zig
Java => Go
OCaml => ???
Who's building my kick ass modern-tooling high performance ML ecosystem?
Is the answer Roc? It's starting to feel like vaporware.

We've got federal agents executing people on the street in Minneapolis this is FUCKED
ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.
