Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

TIL that an Azure Function with a TimerTrigger is subject to clock drift. Code executing in a schedule for midnight UTC can then ask for DateTime.UtcNow and get yesterday's date.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

And it turns out, spiders are not the most unique thing in Ghorman.
Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

In Return of the Jedi, the attack on the Death Star is a classic example of the Two Generals' Problem. For the plan to succeed, both Han & Lando must execute their part (or both retreat) or the mission will be a disaster. May the 4th be with you! particular.net/blog/two-gen...

In distributed systems, coordination is hard—really hard—especially when both parties depend on mutual confirmation to proceed, but there’s no guarantee their messages will arrive. This classic…

Guess this makes sense. I went to nationals in National History Day. It taught me the importance of research and primary sources. Things the current administration has no need for.
I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.

Many orgs have onerous approval processes for 3rd party, especially commercial tooling and infrastructure.
Dev says "how hard could it be?"
Dev spends a week or two on a prototype.
"Hah! I knew it!"
Other devs start using it, run into issues, no docs.

I hate the way musk thinks he’s a techie. Expert in computers and all this nonsense. He thinks a system in place for decades is missing a checkbox and he’s made some amazing discovery. Embarrassing.
One of Musk's defining qualities is that he is a conspiracy theorist when it comes to government. He will see some ambiguous information or be presented with an easily debunked tale and he immediately believes the worst.
