Lo de vivir en EEUU mientras veo las noticias españolas es un morirse porque veo que la extrema derecha pone en práctica en España las mismas movidas que ya afinó aquí.
Por ejemplo, la gilipollez de "felices fiestas", aquí llevan VEINTE AÑOS dando la tabarra con eso.

Go 1.26 is out with new features! I guess that means that I won't have to type up these two functions ever again:
func ptr[T any](t T) *T {
return &t
}
func ErrorAs[E error](err error) (out E, ok bool) {
ok = errors.As(err, &out)
return
}
func ptr[T any](t T) *T {
return &t
}
func ErrorAs[E error](err error) (out E, ok bool) {
ok = errors.As(err, &out)
return
}

"Shadows of the Afterland" comes out tomorrow!
A supernatural comedy mystery point-and-click game made by my friends @arumastudios.bsky.social .
The protagonist died in Madrid in the 1960s and, as a detective, wants to investigate her own death. Which will be hard because she wasn't born yet (!)

No resultan en nada duradero o importante y sólo sirven para que se luzca el ganador.

Bravery is contagious.
ICE observers in the Twin Cities suburbs say they fear being injured or killed, but are dedicated to being on the right side of history. They say working together has brought them community and connection. And they're seeing shifts in attitudes among their neighbors. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved
After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

Ha habido una elección especial para el Senado de Texas en una circunscripción en la que Trump ganó por 17 puntos el año pasado.
Pues esta elección la acaba de ganar el candidato demócrata por 14 puntos.
Esto pinta bien para noviembre.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

I'm laughing at myself reading some of the emails and thinking of how I would have reacted back then if someone were like "you should meet my friend Jeffrey".
"Who's he?", I would have asked.
"He's in real estate."
"I'm not interested in buying a house."
"No, he knows people."
"So do I."

To expand on this: people only have as much power as you give them.
If you think they'll be able to violate court orders without consequence, and act like that's true, you are only making it easier for them to do so.
By forcing them to follow the rules at every step, you don't give them the power.

It is for this reason that it is essential to expect the administration's compliance with all lawful court orders.
To do anything less is to make noncompliance easier.

The extended version of the GBBO theme song rocks quite hard, but there is a special place in my heart for the homage-to-Wendy Carlos synthesizer bit between timestamps 12:05 and 14:47.

I had a Fast Fourier Transform routine I was quite happy with, then this week I tweaked it and became a Faster Fourier Transform.
Nice what some loop unrolling and adding some extra code for the 4-point FFT will do.
And I think there's still plenty of speedup left in that, should I ever need it.

I've just published a new version of my web-based RTL-SDR library, www.npmjs.com/package/@jta...
It is now powered by my new DSP library, www.npmjs.com/package/@jta..., which has Tests and all those nice things, and you can use to demodulate signals from *any* source, not just RTL-SDR dongles!

If you want to increase your walkie talkie's range, connect two batteries in series to double their voltage. Since power goes up with the square of the voltage, your 5 watt Baofeng will have 20 watts!
