In one of the CITCON sessions yesterday about what we should be teaching software engineers, the notion came up that teaching "A.I."-assisted development wouldn't be grounded in any principles. I'm not so sure about that. A picture's emerging (e.g., clarifying with tests, tight feedback loops etc)

This is very cool.

@lbc.co.uk your player needs to start the recording for shows 1 minute before they are scheduled to start, because the opening comments are almost always missing, and we don't know what the presenter is talking about.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

Elon Musk is no friend of our United Kingdom. He should be held to account for allowing truly vile and illegal child abuse content on his platform.

It's very hard to see this move by the WH as anything other than economic sabotage.

There it is. Possibly the most extreme trolling ever seen by the British state.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Great article, but as I've said before, I need more examples showing how capabilities can help in real-world scenarios. When it comes to getting data from an API, converting it, and mixing it with something else from a config or DB, combinators 🐱 are all I need. #scala

Ed Davey, "Elon Musk has applied to sell energy in this country" "When someone is calling for the overthrow of a democratically elected government, we should take that seriously" "I don't think Elon Musk is a fit and proper person for us to do business with"

Sikh woman raped in 'racially aggravated attack' speaks out The young woman was on her way to work when two white men raped her - they also told her to "get out" the country. There's been no notable response to this by UK politicians - they should speak out. news.sky.com/story/sikh-w...

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

The USA is now at the point where Fox News, amazingly not even their most right wing channel, doesn't bat an eyelid at platforming someone who proposes to solve homelessness through involuntary euthanasia.

So today, the USA government is going full ‘cancel culture’ & London is being turned into a ‘no-go zone’ for millions of its residents. And it’s all being done by people who profess to loathe both phenomena…

Far-right commentators reacted in shock to the murder of Charlie Kirk, claiming his killing is 'not what America is'. "I'm sorry, this is exactly who you are," say The News Agents. "You have the most toxic political environment in the world."

Apropos of nothing: If you are in a position of privilege, where there are people without that privilege who are literally dying as a consequence, and you use that privilege to insist that “polite debate” is the only way forward, then you are neither polite nor debating.

I am embarrassed to say that I only just learned that Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes to Hollywood is not dead! For some reason, I thought he died in the 90s, and was very happy to see I was wrong.

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

Extraordinary calls to Nick Ferrari on @lbc.co.uk about Charlie Kirk this morning. You'd think that he was a saint and everyone on the left were murderous lunatics. To be fair, Nick is, albeit gently, pointing out that the right is as worse when it comes to violence.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

World leaders are really fucking everything up right now. Yeah I know, not exactly insightful, just wanted to say it.
