pokémon stands for "pocket monsters"

PSA: If you are thinking of giving Claude Code permission to run `find` thinking it's read-only, remember that it has a `-delete` flag.

oooh awesome, really wanted something like this (advertisers get to collect some of this data about me, why shouldn't I get to?). i'm actually pleasantly surprised that apple even allows exporting so much data

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

Always curious to see who gets to be an anonymous source!

far be it from me to tell scientists how to do their jobs but i feel like there might be value in surveying the <365 hot dogs per year demographic

That restaurant is incredible!

Charlie Byrne’s in Galway is one of the best bookshops I’ve ever been to

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

oh can't wait! the 0/1/2 file descriptor illustration is brilliant

sounds like your five year old makes you their “find my Lego pieces for me” chump just like mine

wait how does Wang report to Zuck if Meta owns a minority stake? Is it an investment or a merger?

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

For anyone actually curious about his age, a bio says he graduated from ASU in 2011 so he's at least in his mid 30s.

if you’ve recently traveled into or out of the US and had any unusual interactions with CBP, i’d like to hear about them (regardless of immigration status—citizens, permanent residents, visa holders)
email: gaby @ the verge dot com, i’m also on signal ✨

The fact that Mongo is still around baffles me though. I wonder if Stripe still uses it. That was always a head scratcher.

I don’t think key/value stores or eventual consistency went anywhere (nor should they, because they have their place). The nosql branding and the incredibly bad advice to use it for everything definitely did.

Am I the only one who has to restart my Mac after screen sharing using *any* app? The purple “you are screen sharing” icon never goes away otherwise and other stuff breaks.

This is the latest person decreed by Marco Rubio to be a foreign policy threat and thus now subject to deportation:

His mother says he has been tortured by authorities at the airport. The reason, if any, for his detention is not known.

this is basically the worst combination of events possible

oh hello. new blog post alert: "LLMs make embarrassingly parallelizable scripts even more embarrassingly parallelizable". www.cyberdemon.org/2025/02/28/l... I write many scripts that do a bunch of completely independent tasks (like downloading a webpage). LLMs make it easy to speed them up

DHS quietly eliminates ban on surveillance based on sexual orientation and gender identity The DHS quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the section prohibiting surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.

Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era. Now, DHS permits surveillance of LGBTQ people again. Just being queer makes you a suspect. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

Anyone Can Push Updates to the DOGE.gov Website "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN."

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it:

still reeling from when this turned out to be fake

I literally do this for a living and all the Kustomize on top of Helm on top of bare k8s manifests, ALL the boiler plate and confusing misdirection, continually confuse me and make my life hard. IMO it's all in a very bad place.

Works.

oh god where are you hearing this phrase
