we need a strict liability regime for AI. that’ll sort this stuff right out.

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

enjoy PROGRAMMING? why not try Haskell Job? we got: - which of these processes ate the whole connection pool - no seriously why did the db just do that - wait it's working now - no the db's still fucked - idk what happened I guess it fixed itself - monad tutorial guy

Oh hey, I'm Certified Weird 😎 Big thanks to @tenebrouspress.bsky.social for the lovely award certificate. Pre-orders for BRAVE NEW WEIRD vol 4 are open now!! store.tenebrouspress.com/products/bra...

(Sincere post, sorry) Legitimately emotional at seeing how accessible public infrastructure is in Tokyo, and the people making use of it being able to live their lives to the fullest. It's beautiful, and it's possible everywhere.

Maybe the best thing on the internet at the moment: * An AI PR pitching platform has confused Kyle Kingsbury, MMA fighter and podcast host with Kyle Kingsbury, software engineer and gay leather man * Good Kyle decided to start a podcast where he interviews confused manosphere influencers

The RFC process adopted by rust/go etc is basically designed to ensure audience capture. If you make a new language you should not do this, design the language yourself.

voting is a component of participatory politics but more people need to understand that you can neither vote nor donate your way out of the bystander effect. join the DSA, start by attending local chapter meetings on zoom, show up in person, reach out to people and encourage the same of them.

:3c !

“sqitches get stitches” i say as i write another database migration

Tough news for Cloudflare folks, sorry to hear. I feature systems software devs looking for work in The Consensus Weekly newsletter. If you've been laid off from Cloudflare send me your LinkedIn and something cool you've worked on!

I'm hearing Cloudflare did a mass layoff (including some really great people) as part of some 'pivot to AI' thing, and this is just... really stupid. Don't do this. It's not a good way to treat people, and it's not even a good business/engineering decision. www.reuters.com/business/wor...

While we're on the subject of Bike Boulevards & Green Waves, there's a simple one I'd like to see DOT take on: Prince Street in SoHo. It's a major east-west connector but the curbside bike lane is always blocked. Make it a Bike Boulevard from the Bowery to 6th Ave so cyclists can take the street.

bombadil-ltl is now dependency free (only `std`), and might be published to crates.io eventually: github.com/antithesishq... This enables other runtime monitoring use cases, like one contributor who used it in a game! I also want to build a new ltl-visualizer with it.

Bollocks. One, hardcovers are selling great, especially the ones that these days come with sprayed edges and illustrated end pages. Two, ditching hardcovers would absolutely gut author and bookseller incomes. You want to fuck up publishing? Kill the hardcover. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I simply would not shill for the industry right now. I would simply confront the fact that it is deeply evil at the level of industry leadership and find the humility to confront this fact on a personal level, my own complicity with it, and the appropriate steps to actually remediate it.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - Kim Kitsuragi is a nice guy. Wish he was here right now.

"the singularity is real and it happened two hundred years ago" is really a key thing to understanding how i think about the world

So here is the creepy part. THE YEAST COLLECTED AT XBOX HQ MAKES XBOX LOGO BREAD. I have no idea how this happened. It’s a miracle and so creepy. Ancient aliens and shit. Ok good night. Try some baking. Play some games. I love you, I’ve got your back. 👊💚

I made khachapuri. #kai #food 🍽️🍜

how about gentrefried beans

Haskell API design question: say i have a compression function that exposes a pure (`ByteString -> ByteString`) interface. how surprising is it for such a function to do background work on a separate OS thread?

this is a hilarious default

I'm just going to say it, I really don't like the "how do we make OSS sustainable" framing. OSS is already sustainable. The only thing not sustainable is users expecting a free lunch (support, LTS, bug fixes, ...). As a user, you are responsible for your OSS usage. Fork/patch if you need to.

wait is Apple still the only company that’s can make a trackpad that works?

if i wanted to get a laptop with decent battery life on Linux and a fast processor that /isn't/ a MacBook what are people using these days? extra credit if it's ARM i guess.

wow hey what the fuck

This is for real also I'm hiring SRE-shaped people if you are hands-on SRE not "thinks SRE is mostly about telling people what to do"

question for a weekend project: has anyone had any experience hooking Haskell programs up to libFuzzer or libAFL? i’m aware of Neil Mitchell & Cheng Shao’s write-ups already.

BASEBALL YURI (1/5)

All the cautionary AI tales sound like “I let my autonomous angle grinder into my loose piles of gunpowder collection room and it went bad” and the comments are all either “angle grinders are a sin from hell” or “such is the price of progress, brother”

"The legalization of mobile sports gambling in America was a policy mistake and that the evidence is now clear enough to say so."

Hey, look, everyone. I wrote the first part of a series I was planning on national security policy that Democrats can pursue following the midterm elections. Exciting! othermeans.substack.com/p/restoring-...
