Taking some steps into the
#3DS
hacking scene and my first frustration is the virtual console injector being Windows only! I booted a VM and decompiled NSUI with ILSpy and what do you know, it bundles a bunch of other open source tools inside it which is why the browser alerts for viruses.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom: "If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

What's going on in MPLS makes clear that pretty much all of US immigration and anti-terrorism policy needs to be rolled back, and DHS needs to be deconstructed starting with ICE. Everyone in the organization needs to be investigated and face charges, with no exceptions for "just following orders."

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal:

As I never tire of reminding people, the two plausible alternatives to automated traffic enforcement are that we either rely on the discretion of individual police officers or we simply don't enforce traffic laws at all. We have been trying both alternatives now and they are failing us.

Been dipping my toe into writing initial startup code for an nRF51 and wow is this header file barebones. You get register structs and macros for casting from the base address, but no fields or masking. STMicro sure has spoiled me! I ended up writing my own vector table struct even 😬

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power. Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? The high voltage capacitors in a solid state dimmer will hold charge for months and can electrocute you even after being unplugged for a long time. Too literal?
