And he downplayed the urgency felt by some of his GOP colleagues that airports will suffer in the meantime: “The president has already said he’s going to fund TSA out of funds he has.”

So uh let’s look past the constitutionality of Trump funding the TSA through an executive order because anyone challenging it would be committing political suicide.

How, exactly, does that help the GOP? If the TSA is being funded anyway, doesn’t it benefit Senate Dems to just not accept any bill that they don’t like? GOP is basically throwing away one of their biggest levers to try to force Dems to compromise.

And look, I’m all for that. Dems should just reject bills they don’t like if there’s nothing for them in the bills. Fuck funding DHS/ICE. Fuck the Voter ID stuff. Just keep saying “no” until you get some wins because Trump seems to want to just hand you them on a silver platter anyway.

What I usually push for is that every CI task either sets up the environment or executes that one command™ for that task. For example, that command can be uv run ruff check or cargo fmt --all -- --check or whatever.

Where the CI-runs-one-script-only (or no-CI) approach falls apart for me is when you want to have a deployment pipeline. It’s usually best not to have deployment secrets stored in any dev machine, so a good place to keep them is in your CI configs (and all major platforms support secrets stored with an environment, variable groups, etc). Of course, I’m referring here to work on a larger team, where permission to deploy needs to be transferrable, but you don’t really want to be rotating deployment secrets all the time either. This means you’re running code in the pipeline that you can’t run locally in order to deploy it.

It also doesn’t work well when you build for multiple platforms. For example, I have Rust projects that build and test on Windows, MacOS, and Linux which is only possible by running those on multiple runners (each on a different OS and, in MacOS’s case, CPU architecture).

The compromise of one-script-per-task can usually work even in these situations, from my experience. You still get to use things like GitHub’s matrix, for example, to run multiple runners in parallel. It just means you have different commands for different things now.

This is exactly what I was thinking. They aren’t programmed to follow the user’s instructions to begin with. Why is it a surprise when they deviate from them?

It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the ML that goes into these LLMs. They are prediction machines. They might have “specialist” submodels or whatever that are better at predicting specific areas, but that’s about it.

The “then what” seems to be to show people that the current administration isn’t working, at least from what I can see. And, weirdly enough, it has sort of worked so far. Democrats have flipped a lot of Republican-held seats in special elections up until now, and they even have a real chance of flipping a senate seat in Texas, of all states.

Assuming we have a fair election (or as fair of one as we can) in November, there is an opportunity to at least severely limit Trump’s power. This, of course, is predicated on a lot, including Schumer giving two shits about the people for once (which is a stretch), but it’s not nothing.

Worst case? You’ve already mobilized millions. Getting them to start rioting doesn’t take much once there’s a spark.

How else do you plan to mobilize millions of people? Telling them “ok we’ll protest for two years then start guillotining the bourgeoisie” is going to turn away most people. Saying “show up here and chant your lungs out” is much more palatable, and at least has a chance to accomplish something, even if relatively small.

It advises parents to steer clear of fast-paced videos and use screens together where possible. The guidance also suggests “screen swaps” - taking screens away to read stories together or playing simple games at mealtimes.

Putting a tablet with Cocomelon in front of your kid for hours has always been about not dealing with the kid. It’s a means to not actually raise the child.

This approach of screen time is interesting to me. Using screens at all isn’t necessarily a bad thing - it’s a major part of the world we live in, after all. But “screen swaps” can help break any unhealthy habits with screen use.

She says she found some swaps very time-consuming - especially in the morning and right after school when she needed to get things done.

“I need that time, so I’m not going to swap it to sit down and read a book because it’s not realistic,” she says.

This, in my opinion, is at the core of the issue with Cocomelon parenting. While there do exist awful people who should never become parents, the current world gives people no time to spend with their families, unfortunately. I’m no expert in UK life, but at least for what I understand of London (where I’ve looked at prices before), I can only imagine the stress of both parents working to barely afford rent and still get food. This is true as well here in the US across the country.

The stolen emails appear to date from around 2011 to 2022 and appear to include personal, business and travel correspondence that Patel had with various contacts, according to a preliminary CNN review of the files with the help of an independent cybersecurity researcher.

Basically, nothing of value was stolen supposedly. The email appears, based on the article anyway, to be a personal email unrelated to work.

Honestly, I’m shocked nothing government related ended up in that account, at least for that time period. Nothing says government official more than confidential information existing where it shouldn’t be (insecure personal email servers, in boxes at home in Florida, in the White House on Trump’s desk, etc).

What’s funny about this is I actually know someone born biologically female who naturally produced more testosterone than estrogen. Heck, PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects an estimated 10-13% of women.

It’s not like chromosomes matter at all, and these kinds of competitions will always bias favorably towards the people who were more fortunate with the body they were given at birth. Pretending like one person’s circumstances just don’t count because you don’t like them, especially (but not exclusively) for the athlete with DSD, invalidates the competition entirely.

So what you’re saying is someone with naturally high testosterone who presents with and naturally developed an otherwise male body can compete with women if they genetically have XX chromosomes? That, somehow, seems even more controversial to me.

After an executive board meeting, the IOC published a 10-page policy document that also restricts female athletes such as two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya with medical conditions known as differences in sex development, or DSD.

So which genetics are allowed to compete? How similar must your genes be to Aryan to be allowed entry?

Don’t worry. I’ll sanitize his statement:

That god damn required age bullshit’s going to fuck up Arch and every other distro worth a damn.

Hope I was helpful!

But what caused this girl to sue? The article didn’t mention a big event afaik.

Based on the article, there are supposedly hundreds of these lawsuits. While I couldn’t say what caused her to sue, the outcome opens the floodgates. If anything, it’s accountability for some of the harms these platforms have profited on if it means they can now be sued for millions per person for it.

Can he be? The article seems to be implying it’s a state crime, so Trump would be unable to pardon him. I don’t actually know if it’s state or federal though.

His efforts drew praise from Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson in 2022, who called Wait a “white hat hacker.”

This is textbook black hat. White hat hackers are usually pen testers hired by the company in question. Black hat does it to seek some kind of gain or do some kind of harm. The goal here was obvious, especially since he literally stated a “black hat” goal.

His conviction comes after a jury in 2024 found a former Milwaukee election official guilty of misconduct in office after she obtained three military absentee ballots using fake names and Social Security numbers in 2022. Like Wait, Kimberly Zapata argued that she was trying to expose vulnerabilities in the state’s election system

And I was testing the system when I stole all that jewelery at the store, officer! See? Clearly the system failed.

It’s sad that some people definitely believe this.

Imagine the current admin defying court orders. They could never!

So is this enough for you then?

If entire distros default to 1/1/1970 then it might not be super helpful.

Might be interesting to see if some anti-tracking distros outside of these jurisdictions are interested in doing something like that.

What’s wrong with the title? It’s the article title.

Also, Beehaw has no downvotes, so you can downvote all you want on your instance if it makes you feel better, but it won’t federate the downvote.

As a first language, JS is too much. They would need to learn three languages to make websites (JS, CSS, and HTML).

I’d start with Python. It’s easy to learn, and modern Python gives you the tools to write code that’s easy to read and follow without being too verbose.

uv should make things very easy to setup too. Install uv, then give them a starter repo with the Python version set. uv run should just work after that, no manual venv/conda/etc nonsense involved.

My school didn’t have a course, but the test was entirely in Java.

C would have been a lot more useful.

Dallas, sorry.
