Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

I'm not sure the reaction to Benioff is appropriate yet. The guy has called for a hostile invasion of our city, he wants to see San Franciscans dead in the streets.

In a functioning society, any property he owns should be seized by the city and he should never be allowed within city limits again.

The damage to the CDC is “beyond repair”.

AsyncCombine: Because Async Code Shouldn’t Be Ugly

I brought back Combine’s sink, assign, and CombineLatest - but built powered by Swift Concurrency.

Observing @Observable from another ViewModel shouldn’t be painful.

Here’s how I fixed it 👉 lumley.io/blogs/async-...

AsyncCombine: Because Async Code Shouldn’t Be Ugly

When Swift first introduced Combine, I loved it. The syntax was expressive, pipelines were easy to follow, and @Published made state changes feel almost magical. But as Apple pushed us toward Swift Co...

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property

In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

There is a ton of things going on but as a distraction, I figured I would try this. Battlefield 6 drops tomorrow and with it the new Portal. I downloaded the SDK and loaded it up into Xodot and I gotta admit, it’s crazy that you can do this on an iPad Pro. cc: @migueldeicaza.bsky.social
