Rise and Fall of the Third Reich was a good foundational book to understand the timeline, made it easier to find other books in specific eras (e.g. Germany 1923) and contextualize better.

But I frequently ended up staring at the wall while my brain processed horrors.

We look at the modern Republican party, and it's (at least superficially) a cultural monolith. It feels people commonly believe the same of the Democratic party.

Democrats can't ignore problematic leaders & policies because there are people ("but we have the squad! we can't be bad") on the fringe.

I've been wanting to try Kamal for a similar set up, keep posting on what you decide!

My wife and I were flying home recently, very clearly together in line. Guy cuts in between us, shoves his boarding pass at the agent, gets the angry buzz of shame and it has no effect on him. The agent said it wasn’t his group, also no effect. Was so absurd it was funny.

With all available information, they wouldn’t be the best and brightest if this was their choice 🫠

札幌市！初めてに行くのは6月でした。北海道は素晴らしい。
札幌駅は歩いて3分です、めっちゃ便利！

We recently got the Samsung 4 door flex and really like it. Not sure about quality since we only got it a year ago but it’s very useful!

You have an excellent username, too.

Observationally, just feels like white people being slightly less open about being racist.

Back to testing the waters with me instead of assuming I also hate brown people 🙃

Japan housing is fundamentally different. In many (most?) locations the house is a depreciating asset and only the land holds value.

Also, with a declining population they don’t have the same housing supply constraints —urban areas being invested in appreciate, where even 20-30 minutes away fall.

🤯!

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social this video seems like something you’d appreciate!

I’ve heard the same phrasing of outsourcing when talking about btrees in various libs, though.

Complex software rarely is true. It is, as you say, about looking true. How can we make it easier to understand and poke at the truthiness?

This has been a consistent (and valid) argument about abstractions in software engineering. In college (mid 90s) we had to learn hardware because otherwise we’d write terrible software! It wasn’t true, because Java/C++(STL) changed the game. Some things we need to know, it changes generationally.

I was at a May Day rally yesterday, a guy came up and was trying to agitate -- he told me that Trump was keeping his daughters safe by "keeping illegals away from them".

Nothing will ever convince me these people don't know they're fascists -- they're just sealioning fascists.
