When I travel I read the laws and fine prints of visas and add "interrogation time" to my trip plan

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

we have an adage in information processing: garbage in, garbage out. many will tell you not to think about minds like they're computers but in this case it's useful. if your information environment is trash and your attitude towards it is unreflective, your expectations will be similarly inaccurate.
I am taking some pleasure in seeing *yet another* group of supposedly genius, mostly white guys who get paid ridiculously huge salaries be exposed as absolute chump-ass idiots

could it be that finance bros aren’t actually smart

Their pride, their commitment to never admitting even obvious, provable mistakes is more important than the life of a human being.
The Trump administration is insisting a man they sent to an El Salvador prison is in a Venezuelan gang even though he’s a youth soccer coach and pro goalie with no criminal record and the tattoo they said was a gang tattoo is a soccer team he likes. www.dropsitenews.com/p/venezuelan...

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?

I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

I made a video with a breakdown and detailed analysis of my 200 lines of code HTTP server in pure macos arm64 assembly.

Might be a good entry point into the assembly world even if you have never touched assembly.

Elixir gang can you help me with something that's left me stumped? I saw this comment on a LiveView question and it took me a bit by surprise:

> LiveView does not perform diffing inside lists.

Isn't rendering lists of data something that's *super* common?

The convergence of design (e.g. in websites and web apps) and architecture is starting to create a universe of same-ness that I don't like.

I have a major longing for quirky, weird, "suboptimal", and "just for the sake of art" decisions instead of everything being optimized and economized.

We solved so many problems so well that most people don’t know that they were ever problems, and so their base assumption is that this is the natural order of the world when it’s actually a fragile system held up by an expansive administrative state…which millions just voted to dismantle.
"We have a mandate to dismantle the regulatory state - and both the power and the will to do so,"

Is explicitly what they ran on and enough of the US has just always had clean water and safe food and some manor of workplace protection that they categorically do not understand what a threat that is.
I really think most people don't appreciate the scale of what's coming.

I recently added Oban to my project for some long running, oft-failing jobs that call the least reliable third party service of all time. So far it’s been a delight 🤌

I think the decision is clear:

#ElixirLang is our new hashtag!

Spread the word far and wide and update your profiles everyone! From now on, if you use #Elixir nobody will know what the hell you’re talking about!
Alright folks, it’s decision day:

Is it #Elixir or #ElixirLang now?

We have to decide 😄
