Cancel culture is terrible. I have opposed it publicly for more than a decade. It is even more chilling, and more clearly a violation of the First Amendment, when it is the government doing the intimidation.
“It is difficult to imagine a more ominous and more horrendous violation of the basic principle of free speech.” Cato’s legal expert @ConLawWarrior comments on ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show after FCC pressure.

All the engineers on my team are saying Claude isn't very good anymore (maybe expectations have risen) and the new Codex with GPT-5 is a huge leap better.

I think more and more people see tech as a necessary evil. So I think meta and apple trying to put tech on our faces is a bad bet. I subconsciously, amid trying to put my phone down more, find the idea of putting on my face repugnant.

What a beautiful tribute.
Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk: “You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most

I just use my own simple factory for test data. The libraries I used wouldn't use the changeset, so it was easy to create invalid test data. I also don't like broadly creating optional relationships, it quickly becomes slow tests by a thousand cuts.

If something is updated almost never, you can read it at warp speed by skipping ETS and stashing it in :persistent_term. Reads are 0‑GC & ≈5× faster. Batch writes at boot but each write still pauses the VM, so be careful. #myelixirstatus

Liveview rendering is pretty awesome. Each node in the dom tree has a hash/fingerprint, so when it gets changes from the server, it only receives and has to walk and check branches that actually changed 🏎️
