I'm sponsoring via my org, but I'm not receiving the monthly newsletters. How are they delivered?

Love it! Under Performance, for the Further Exploration links, I really like www.computerenhance.com (which has a great initial demonstration about why Python is not the best choice for performance, if you're writing the expensive operations in Python yourself rather than using Numpy, etc.).

Civic Tech's Third Wave I’ve spent nearly twenty years working in civic tech. It feels like with everything going on right now, I should have something to say… This is my attempt to put into words what’s been swirling around...

I've been thinking a lot about what this moment means for civic tech and put some thoughts together here:

tl;dr is that I'd really like to start having conversations with others that are thinking about what needs to be build and how we're going to pay for it

"USDS leadership would frequently go around the deputy CIO, the CIO, the Deputy Director for Management, the Director of OMB, and the White House deputy chief of staff to bring issues to the President," said a former government official, who requested anonymity in order to speak more candidly about USDS. "After this happens several times and there are real questions about USDS' ability to produce on the ground, then the question becomes, We created this monster with a personal relationship with the President and how do we rein it in?''

It certainly is not responsible for the scale of what is happening, but eventually folks are going to have to reckon with how DOGE’s tactics mirror USDS’s & how more checks were needed.

Yes! Very spooky. Like with Tunic, I watched a couple streams just to relive the sense of discovery.

Thank you! I finally played Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium this year from your older lists. Incredible games. From 2024, I'm also enjoying Nine Sols.
