From my friend Kyle. This is essential reading for all Americans. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

📣 It gives me great pleasure in welcoming @armanbil.ge of #typelevel to #BayAreaScala #meetup with a highly anticipated talk 👉 Calico: my love letter to the Resource monad For full details of his talk and other speakers can be found here: luma.com/9ww60v3l #scala #fp #SanFrancisco @scala-lang.org

At Netflix, @alex.bertails.org and his team have adopted #RDF to build a Unified Data Architecture (UDA) and a #domainModeling language, Upper, that let them quickly and efficiently share complex #data with their internal engineering customers. knowledgegraphinsights.com/alex-bertails/

Proche de Pasqua ⚖️, ministre de Chirac ⚖️, Sarkozy ⚖️ a eu comme premier ministre Fillon ⚖️, comme ministres de l'Intérieur Guéant ⚖️, Hortefeux ⚖️ et Alliot-Marie ⚖️ et pour amis les Balkany ⚖️. Bref, comme chacun peut le voir ici, le problème, vraiment, c'est Mediapart, hein.

J’étais sur le plateau de BFM où je n’aurais jamais dû aller pour parler de la condamnation de Nicolas Sarkozy. Je n’ai pas eu le temps de rappeler que la seule chose fausse publiée dans cette affaire c’est la rétractation de Takieddine sur les antennes de… BFM: m.youtube.com/watch?v=4yYd...

Grab on to Ryunosuke, as Zou heads to Netflix starting October 1st!

To most data architects, “An ontology is an explicit description of a conceptualization” is about as useful as “A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors” is to most programmers.

"REST" is our industry's most successful collective delusion: everyone knows it's wrong, everyone knows we're using it wrong, and somehow that works better than being right. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4450...

"It is kind of, in a way, trying to create a second class of U.S. citizens" - for many of us who immigrated here and became citizens, the message is clear.

Small businesses are the backbone of this city! We should do more to make sure that the many great small businesses we have in San Francisco are supported. Let’s make sure that they remain in our community. Thank you Vas Kiniris, for speaking with my team.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

The piece of code I am the most proud of is called Dupliclef. I wrote it for my dad to be able to save his USB keys and hard-drives. He is old school, but he religiously preserves his data and emails locally by cliquing on the small icon in his Dock. The script then detects the hard drives and keys.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The same people who tell you that LLMs can reason and manipulate facts will tell you that one cannot prove that a program is correct.

Allow me to reintroduce myself: my name’s Saikat Chakrabarti and I’m running for Congress against Nancy Pelosi. Here’s a quick campaign update.

This post introduces the foundations of UDA (Unified Data Architecture) as a knowledge graph, connecting domain models to data containers through mappings, and grounded in an in-house metamodel, or model of models, called Upper. netflixtechblog.com/uda-unified-...

We have this super cool new data architecture in Netflix Content and wanted to share it today but we had a technical problem, so the article will only be shared on the Netflix Engineering Blog tomorrow. I hope.🤞

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The top 1% makes about a million dollars a year, probably without working at all — just passive income off assets. An extra 79k is not even noticeable for them. It’s less than what they pay in fees to asset managers. But $79k would be life changing to anyone in the bottom 80%.

New, from me: The DOGE project was sold as tech disruptors who would revolutionize government. To try to understand why DOGE has failed, I point to lessons that other technologists who worked in government learned, but DOGE ignored. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-doge-...

This is what oligarchy is about. While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption. The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

“At around noon on April 14 2025, America ceased to have a law-abiding government.”

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

“Whatever the reason was, it exposed half of the electorate—the 77 million people who voted for Trump—as either fundamentally unserious, decadent, or weak. And no empire can survive the degeneration of its people.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-americ...

I did an interview with @rollingstone.com to discuss why we need dozens if not hundreds of people running for Congress, and the kind of transformative economic agenda we should be fighting for.

The math is a fact.

Time to nationalize PG&E.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

What do you think we will look back on and cringe about in 20 years? www.futuredatacringe.com

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Lying down and playing dead might (and that’s a strong might) win one election, but it will absolutely lose in the long run.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

At the end of the day, Dems don't believe they can win a messaging war. They believed that in the event of a shutdown, no matter what they said, they wouldn't be able to convince the country of their case. Sorry, but that kind of loser mindset is not going to win elections.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

It's international women's day and that means it's the day I self-promote! I've written a few good books including my most recent on Platform Engineering, check them out here! amzn.to/3QYGaoB

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
