Just released quick-junit 0.5.2, containing (from what I can tell) the first industrial-strength (i.e. with fuzzing and roundtrip property-based testing) JUnit XML parser for Rust!
quick-junit's serializer is used by cargo-nextest.

I am JUST old enough to have caught a taste of the Before Times as a young adult, and yeah, I have pretty much universally found that under-30 LGBTs *literally do not believe you* when you tell them how significant the turnaround has been, and HOLY HELL does it leave me frustrated at times.

Surround yourself with good thoughts and ideas, and you will become better. Bad thoughts and ideas, you'll become worse! Trying to pretend otherwise is simply detached from reality
They're all on X is the simple answer

The psychic wage of hierarchy is, imo, the #1 obstacle to democracy worldwide
"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture--
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy
I suspect that the revolt of the bosses element of all this really is explained by: a bunch of upper echelon Americans really didn't like the cultural and workplace changes induced by Woke era, some portion of them were pushed into internet insanity, but most just wanted a shift slightly right....

Do you have reason to believe that the services economy of the united states is structurally similar to the late soviets such that state operated grocers would result in shortages or are you just an economist making blithe and historically inaccurate comparisons for points online

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Hades II is amazing. There are nods to both Lattimore's and Wilson's Odyssey translations.
Lattimore: “Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways…”
Wilson: “Tell me about a complicated man…”
Hades II: “Some know him as the man of many ways; certainly he is a complicated one.”

my genuinely moderate position is that legal grey areas are very bad and we should minimize the number of people in them. you shouldn't be here for literal years while your status is determined, laying down roots and making a life it's traumatic to uproot you from. need quick, definitive decisions.
i do think Dems should moderate on immigration in the sense that Dems should redesign our immigration policy to work like people think it works: you wait for a while (but not forever) to get into the country and then you wait for a while (but not forever) to become a citizen.
