ECMAScript excitement 😉

@jason-williams.co.uk from TechAtBloomberg announces the release of Boa's Rust-based implementation of TC39 Stage 3 Temporal 🎉

Chrome estimates this will ship in Chromium 143 🎉🎉

Temporal is the shiny replacement for the broken JS Date API ✨

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Github just ran my credit card for a single penny. I think I should frame this. 😂

You are a person of high integrity and moral character.

Unfortunately, the president of the United States of America is on the exact opposite side of that spectrum.

Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill provides massive tax breaks to billionaires while taking away food from an estimated 4 million children and about half a million seniors.

NY17 Constituent and local social worker Emily Feiner was singled out and forcibly removed during Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall.

Same.

On Dropouts and Bootstraps In my early twenties I had a cohort of friends and coworkers, all Silicon Valley engineers, all quite good at their jobs, all college dropouts. We developed a shared conviction that only losers got…

Once upon a time, I believed that getting a CS degree was highly correlated with being a mediocre engineer; the REAL stars were dropouts and liberal arts majors.

(And other adventures in self-justifying heuristics ☺️)

On the Timing of Time Zone Changes What do Turkey, Chile, Russia, Venezuela, Azerbaijan, North Korea and Haiti all have in common? Time Zone Chaos! No, that's not the punchline to a joke.  It's actually quite a serious problem.  The b...

For all the daylight saving time hubbub in the news, I'll remind all that the most important thing is adequate notice of changes. If they're going to make DST permanent, pass the law NOW. If they wait until October, it will be too close to get all the software updated.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

Hassan grills Dr Oz about promoting a bunch of scam "medical" products on TV, including "raspberry ketones." She notes that "it seems to me you are still unwilling to take accountability for your promotion of unproven snake oil remedies to millions of your viewers."

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

For security scans, we also use OSV-Scanner and run it via Trunk.

I also really like Renovate's `minimumReleaseAge` setting. We set it to 3 days for Go package updates. Keeps us from getting bit by "oops" releases on fast moving projects.

My team switched to Renovate awhile back. I like it much better than Dependabot, especially for go. We use the `gomodTidy` and `gomodUpdateImportPaths` settings, and it's worked well. docs.renovatebot.com/modules/mana...

hey if you aren't american i'd strongly reconsider traveling to the US for any sort of convention

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

A tiny trump figure in a chair next to a towering Zelensky captures the puny spirit of Trump's cowardice and Russian capitulation.

Clay Bennett nails it.
