Fascinating conversation. If you want to know what the U.S. Digital Service (USDS) does and why it’s being fucked up this is a good episode to listen to. I will also recommend the podcast, “System Crash” that @parismarx.com does with @brianmerchant.bsky.social. Both are excellent.

‘Loss of American innovation:’ UNLV, other Nevada institutions faces cuts to research Nevada higher education is facing research cuts. Even as some decisions get blocked in court, university leaders say the uncertainty is enough to disrupt campuses.

DHS spokesperson: “Rumeysa Ozturk is a Turkish national and Tufts University graduate student, granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa. DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. A visa is a privilege not a right. Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated. This is commonsense security.”

NEW—DHS claims, without citing proof, Rumeysa Ozturk "engaged in activities in support of Hamas."

Among "activity" Ozturk engaged in was co-writing an op-ed urging Tufts to heed student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

This is true. Puberty blockers was a compromise between just starting regular HRT at regular puberty ages and the no youth transition ever position.

Restructuring How We Think About Alerts Rather than focusing on the events that result in alerts, Fred proposes we look at the system and center it on the operators instead.

New work blog post, covering some re-framing about alerting.

Make a distinction between: alarm, anomaly detection, fault identification, and corrective action.

Consider the cost & necessity of validating each, that they can all storm you, and maybe then willingly reduce how many can disrupt you.

The Impact of Age Verification Measures Goes Beyond Porn Sites As age verification bills pass across the world under the guise of “keeping children safe online,” governments are increasingly giving themselves the authority to decide what topics are deemed “safe” ...

Age verification laws are right up there with real names policies in the pantheon of "you think this is going to help people, but it's actually quite disastrously bad" ideas.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Yea, it has warmed up here too.

Well damn. I'll have to poorly clone it :).

Oooo, been on my long list for ages. This better be cross platform, Austin ;)

It didn’t even last a week.

Just called my mom and we cried tears of joy together

exerl works like a charm, github.com/filmor/exerl/ -- #elixir NX's Explorer in Erlang with rebar3

I've been trying to get new posts for years in case anyone here knows someone who might be interested :). C#/F#, Rust, Ocaml and new a new post for Go would be awesome.

Part of why I started howistart.org though each is not long enough to cove that in depth, but still meant to get a person a feel for how someone experienced works in the technology.

That has been our plan with Adopting Erlang (some of it not Erlang specific, but mostly is), also with stuff like internal processes, hiring and building a team -- much of that still to be done and I haven't even started on the Observability chapter adoptingerlang.org

This is a call to remember Syrian revolutionary Omar Aziz on 16 February, the anniversary of his death in the prisons of the regime.
The website also contains a great reader compiling texts from the early days of the revolution.

Playing with olivetti (and org-ol-tree) for Emacs again today... need to mess with the colors and margins more and probably have the ol-tree on toggle ( feel my eyes darting between the two).

I've been trying to work on metrics docs myself to get Erlang metrics finally out of experimental to GA for months off an on and continually feel (outside of the API) I can't write docs for an end user that don't feel like I'm just repeating back the spec.

how you configure temporality... It isn't giving them that information, its giving them a bunch of ways you can use it for all kinds of purposes. Which is great! But a hell of an ask.
