Reading a short paper on the early history of SQL (ieeexplore.ieee.org/ielx5/85/635...) and had to sit back for a moment and really appreciate the current state of database technology.
The absolute state of the art is free, and easy to use. There's healthy choice and competition. What a marvel.

i feel like everyone needs a regular reminder that a lot of the worst names in tech were humanities students, not STEM students

Obligatory the missile knows who's been naughty because the missile knows who's been nice. By subtracting naughty acts from nice, or nice acts from naughty (whichever is greater), the missile creates an ethos.

People always talk like the DoD is some unsanctioned organization that can spend however much it wants on whatever the fuck it wants and not a Department with a rigorous process where it has to justify in front of Congress where every penny goes. Get real, please.

We want our military to be able to strike anywhere on the planet, deploy sizable expeditionary forces quickly, defend allies in every corner of the globe, and have qualitative superiority over any foe. You can’t do that cheap. You just can’t.

some number of people seem to think that it is good that there is a growing consensus across the political spectrum to do extralegal violence. i am staking out the bold position that this does not signal positive things to come
i don’t think it’s good that my political opponents have a strong desire to commit violent acts on people they dislike actually.

this is straightforwardly an effort to try to re-segregate the officer corps
Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.

Back to my Iran-Contra point, if you were an adult in the 80s (and these guys always are) and you still consciously chose to be a Republican after that, you don't get to lecture anyone about ethics or norms
You were a shitty person then and finally turning against Trump doesn't absolve you of it

I don't really want to be lectured about ethics by people who thought the Tea Party was the "voice of real Americans" or whatever the fuck

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

it would not be wrong to say that the project of the conservative movement since watergate has been to ensure that another watergate could never happen. fox news exists so that the base will never be exposed to media that has them calling representatives in outrage about the president's behavior.
the entire reason that five out of nine of the members of the supreme court were appointed were so that the president would be able to get away with watergate.
No snark: I would genuinely like to know what John Roberts is thinking of these appointments.

Frankly, what's truly shocking is how meager a mind one can get away with when one has a massive amount of money. The social media era has laid bare just how dense the likes of Calacanis, Ackman, Sacks, Musk, Andreessen, etc. are.
it is genuinely shocking how stupid elon musk is. dumber not only than the average college-educated person but the average person. just shocking to hear his father talking about how he had to be evaluated for being, in his father's words, "retarded," as a kid.
