Amid ICE attacks, L.A. community orgs call on the Dodgers not to accept a White House visit.

I'd say put this in the Louvre, but uh, you know

Anyway, I think you can see this influence still in the ideas I care about untangling, as in the "masculine energy" quotes in tech, the social construction of hierarchies in which so many of us suffer. These beliefs are enormous. They are also changeable. www.fightforthehuman.com/why-i-cannot...

Exciting personal news! An article of mine is in the ACM Queue! "Memory Safety for Skeptics" argues for pursuing memory safety, with or without Rust, including when to do it, how to decide it's worth it, and how to do it effectively! queue.acm.org/app/ #rustlang

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

now to watch the democratic party trip over itself eulogising one of this century's defining war criminals

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Oh hey, proof that X is faking clickthrough numbers by opening links in the background without users ever clicking on them

Blocking is part of life; you can't force people to want to interact with you.

It is also plainly evil to say that a condition of a program designed to feed hungry people is that you can't do anything *else* to feed hungry people when the program is defunded.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

Oh wow, I used to work with Clinton! No idea he was doing atproto stuff now, that's awesome!

This is the photo.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

I'm a Dodger fan and can't help but be thrilled that they won. But those Blue Jays were something else and deserve all the kudos. As one wag said on BSky when they beat the Yankees "Any team that beats the Yankees is America's team.If that's the Toronto Blue Jays, so be it. I don't make the rules."

My street right now lmao

BACK TO BACK

Hell yeah, nine more innings of ball

On the Blue Jays’ class toward Alex Vesia, who is away from the Dodgers while dealing with a family emergency right now:

Whatever happens tonight, this has been a great postseason and a beautiful, anxiety-inducing World Series!

If you want to learn about implementing type systems this is basically the canonical place to start

To anyone not into baseball I’m sorry but also get into baseball

This but it's Diet Cokes for @bcantrill.bsky.social

Rust futures' ability to do intra-task concurrency (see @without.boats' "Let futures be futures") is a superpower, but cancellation and "futurelock" (as this RFD coins) are both challenging code review problems.

My colleague Dave Pacheco wrote up a great description of a new (to us?) Rust async pathology--"futurelock"--another extremely sharp edge to watch out for, with no particular guardrails. Of course, we'll be talking about it with @bcantrill.bsky.social on Monday's Oxide and Friends

Calculating a standings matrix, run differentials, and games behind for my four-team city-run lowest-division softball league. Truly I am a baseball/softball sicko

Worth pointing out: bundling tranches of debt with varying risks of default *can be fine*, but probably isn't here. In the mortgage crisis, debts' were mis-rated, so bundles were riskier than they seemed. Here, individual leases share sector-wide default risk, so they're not diversified.

For every $1 in benefits fraud, agencies spend $3.72 trying to detect it, based on the unproven assumption that means-testing lowers the rate of fraud. But there's evidence to indicate that trusting people to self-report what they need would be cheaper overall, even factoring in fraud/abuse.

It's cool that, after he voluntarily said he'd stop using his titles, people agreed that wasn't good enough and the titles have now been formally stripped

Good update on how passkeys are doing, from the UK's National Cyber Security Centre

There is no shutdown. We are just learning to see the new operating model.

CVE Records can now include Package URLs! This is something I’d been pushing with the CVE Quality Working Group, and now it’s officially shipped! 📦

I got 10/16 by basically indexing heavily on immigration and anyone who complains about cancel culture, and basically ignoring self-interest or consistency with stated policy goals.

When I post about the Dodgers its actually community service

Platner taking his campaign in a “they’re trying to get me” direction after the tattoo is a flashing, Fetterman-shaped warning light for what he could be like if elected, and I think it’s enlightening to see who can see that and who can’t because he’s “upsetting the right people”.

*Break in at a local community college* CBS News: "We now turn to Dan Harmon, creator of moderately successful television sitcom Community, for his perspective."

I get the strategy, but intentional walks are very boring

The pitchers with the most strikeouts in any postseason game against the Blue Jays this year: 1. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 8 2. Will Klein, 5

This must be what it’s like to meet Odin when you enter Valhalla. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

The Dodgers and Blue Jays have, by gentlemanly agreement, decided to resolve today’s game by pistols at dawn

Apparently they’ve gone through more than 75% of the baseballs in the stadium. When they run out it’s on the fans to bring emergency baseballs from home, and the team whose fans have the most wins

it is the 4738th inning vladimir guerrero the third comes in as a defensive replacement for his father the pitcher signals for another intentional walk to shohei ohtani

We’re really just gonna get two entire baseball games smushed together huh
