dammit, I butchered that: should have been:
...good coding is the practice of making code that runs well...

Would it even be feasible for districts or states to just not report results until they're done? That's the only thing that grants their argument any plausibility.

I'll see that and raise you a Трамп — марионетка Путина.

Cory Doctorow wrote recently that good coding run well; while software engineering is the practice of writing code that fails well. Vibe coding might be able to do the former. It cannot do the latter.

I like to express my disrespect for Russians by butchering their language: this reads "Tynch -- pocchnokii aren't"

...was the tamest reaction I've heard so far.

Thune says Gabbard can answer the question of whether Thune wants to get briefed on her role? How would she know that?

First off: if they're not going to support it or the functionality that made it useful, they should spin it off to someone who will.

Failing that, it'd be hilarious if someone were to crawl the books on Google, transcribe and index them, then make their own search. OF GOOGLE.

As an engineer once having gotten the error message "this should never happen", I like that this was liked by an account called "Useful Errors"

I think journalism thrillers are now dead as a genre.

I would just like to point out that believing in the existence of something says nothing about whether you agree with or will abide by it.

This -- helping you enough to feel good but not actually help you -- is the hill upon which I shall die.

Maybe they only intend to recruit a certain type of person from now on.

Would it be possible to just do your own thing, with the folks who aren't into the security theater? Let them do their thing; you do yours?

Guys, we weren't there, we can't possibly know for sure.

(stupid woke warrants)

No no, Allison, you don't understand. We're trying to break the court system, but we still need someone to sign these warrants. WOULD YOU HAVE US NOT USE THEM AT ALL I THOUGHT YOU LOVED WARRANTS

There's only one way this could possibly happen. They think we're stupid.

I appreciate where you're going, but I think I'd be suspicious of any free lunch on offer from what is otherwise an orphan-shredding machine.

I name-dropped that one just earlier today 😉

Eliminating poverty in the same way RFK Jr eliminates sickness.

Yeah, that was the jist I got from the definition when I looked it up.

I've asked this question elsewhere; still looking for an answer: I don't disagree that this would be ethnic cleansing, but this is the only case where I'm hearing it being called that. How is this different from what ICE has been doing for the last year?

"Buffalo"
"Yes, and?"
"Nothing else, that's it"

HANG ON are we supposed to be pronouncing it "posteri-tie"?

FINALLY someone figured out how to handle Chotiner

I think the timing is no accident either: I'm not going so far as to say that their holding out was directly, causally linked to last week's document dump, but reversing their refusal to testify right afterward implies "ok, you've met my conditions".

"wee"

The Bill of Rights is just too onerous, you don't know what you're asking for, and frankly, it's unamerican.

But don't eat too much, eater.
