I just read in the Wall Street Journal that certain areas of San Francisco remain a ‘no go zone’, despite the best and most valiant efforts of our amazing ‘only good mayor in a while’, the billionaire whose mama paid for his campaign.
The no go zone, supposedly, includes the place I live in; where in the same article the same mayor says ‘it also has the highest number of children’
And so the reality of running a council & the views of ReformUK have (without much delay) collided, as Kent Country Council discover the sending migrant workers home might have a major impact on the ability of the council to deliver social care..... oh dear, reality has bit them in the bum.

Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals.
Liberate yourself as far as you can, and you have done your part; for it is not given to every one to break through all limits, or, more expressively: not to every one is that a limit which is a limit for the rest... he who overturns one of his limits may have shown others the way and the means. -- Max Stirner

I’m always a bit cautious of the argument that the barriers are a good thing. That easily slips into harmful gatekeeping if we aren’t careful. It’s not good when programming is inaccessible or unwelcoming.
What •is• good is that writing code slows you down and (if you’re good) makes you •think• about what the heck you’re doing — the work @saraislet is talking about — with a depth and detail that no amount of chin-stroking and up-front design work can match. Skipping that work, however you skip it, is a false gain. infosec.exchange/@saraislet/11…
One of the problems with vibe coding is that the hardest part of software engineering is not writing the code, rather it's *choosing* what to code, and designing the system (and, later on, maintaining the code/operations/etc)
The barriers and invest…
Code is a confusing engineering object for our human brains. It is a bit like building a bridge or a kitchen utensil: it’s an object without a mind, it has a function, it can fail, people do unexpected things with it. But it can also feel a bit like a person given a task: it has behavior, it •decides•, it •acts•, it •causes•.
(All arguably true of a bridge too, but most of us don’t think of bridges that way!)
The lay understanding of code leans heavily on the idea that programs are anthropomorphic, little homunculi with agency.
Where that understanding goes wrong is that humans have perception and experience and common sense. And yes, people are foolish and fallible — but ultimately humans are the adaptable element of complex systems[1], and when we design processes involving humans, we always, always lean on that adaptability.
If we say “walk out the door,” humans generally will not just walk face first into the wall just because the door is behind it.
So much of the work we do in software is about asking not just what •does• happen when the developer runs their own code, but what •could• happen when the code is running in the wild, out from under the watchful eye of its author.
That’s really, really hard. It’s a large portion of what makes development time-consuming and labor-intensive.
And it’s something you can only do if you actually understand what the code •means• — both to the computers and to the humans.
A lot of the design work that goes into programming languages and tools is about prompting developers to •think about meaning•: tests, types, scope, compile errors, runtime errors — all about •preventing code from running• in the presence of an expectation/reality mismatch.
I’m always on high alert for tools that promise to speed development by letting developers skip the thinking.
This AI vibe coding (“kids should not go into coding as a career”) era reminds me of that guidance counsellor in high school (circa 1995) warning us to stay away from the computer industry at large b/c he read an article about Moorse’s law (I assume) and figured they can only make these darn computers run so fast and then that’s it… this was before any true adoption of the Internet.
Hands on coding experience as you’re describing would dispense all the theory.
Ref: I’m still gainfully employed fixing mainframe code 🙃
I remember a similar brief panic about offshore outsourcing. All the programming jobs were going to disappear to other countries…until they didn’t. Prediction is hard, especially of the future.
That’s not necessarily the only way to use machine learning to assist coding. It is, however, one of the “magic diet pills” promises at the heart of the current hype bubble.
Whatever the dev tools of the future look like, until we have Lieutenant-Commander Data, difficult human thought will be at the heart of writing code.
In a saner environment, we’d be having a reasonable conversation about that: in what ways, if any, can a machine that repeats contextual patterns with no sense of meaning augment humans thinking through tricky things? In ways can it mislead? When, if ever, is it worth the tradeoffs? the resource costs? etc etc.
Right now, the off-the-charts money and hype make that reasonable conversation impossible except perhaps in hushed corners. (Please do not have that argument in my replies. I am tired.)
this is why I always say that the best thing for me as a dev that makes the biggest difference to my productivity and the quality of my work, is to partner with a great tester

Whatever your problems were, he is obviously a good heart. My ex refused me access to my dogs and gave one away. When she posted in the national register my girl had died, I sent her a copy of her post and thanked her for the kindest words she ever said about my girl. She always hated that girl but took her fom me.

@Richard @greyknight It took forever to get to him, and as I recall, you couldn’t just start at Tyson again if he beat you, you had to go back and re-beat Mr. sandman and Macho Man, or at least one of them before getting to face Tyson again. After three or four times making it to him, I just abandoned it.

Greek theatre teacher Efi Lazou wrote and directed a theater play as a private individual, with the title "Anne Frank speaks to the children of Palestine".
The shows were done in a private space with zero involvement of her school.
Yet, the Administration for Primary Education (under the Ministry of Education) has launched an investigation against her, trying to fire her due to that play.

Throughout his long lifetime, William Gayley Simpson was a widely traveled and careful observer of Western civilization and its relations with the non-White peoples of the world, especially the Negro and the Jew. An exceptionally deep thinker, he traced the sickness that has overtaken the White man's world in the 20th century to its roots in Jewish world conspiracy and its coordinated aggressive moves against us. Simpson reveals the deception inherent in our money system, which isn't based on real wealth at all, but on debt and fantasy, and it cannot do other than cause trouble for the people condemned to use it as their medium of exchange.
The author also shows why Feminism is not the liberation of woman, but the enslaving of them to Jewish interests. Simpson reveals the fundamental incompatibility between Capitalism, which he calls "The Machine," and the human psyche. He goes into great detail about the physiological basis of . . . colchestercollection.com/title…

"The Achilles’ heel of the ruling elites in Europe and in the United States today is that even though they’re presiding over the political crisis of neoliberalism, the legitimacy crisis of neoliberalism, they’re thoroughly wedded to the regime. They have nothing else to offer."
Donald Trump styled himself as a populist, “antiestablishment” president. But look at what he has actually done in office, and you see he’s a status-quo politician with nothing to offer working Americans.
Fractures within US President Trump's MAGA support base are deepening over an alleged cover-up of the Epstein files, after the DOJ and the FBI concluded that there was no 'client list' and nothing suspicious about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's death.
Once keen to talk about the Epstein case, the president has now described sustained interest in the affair as "a desecration", urging Americans to focus on other issues.
Key figures within the MAGA movement have spoken out against the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case, showing further divisions in the camp.
Höchster Masernstand in den USA seit mehr als 30 Jahren
In den USA sind die Masern weiter auf dem Vormarsch, die Infektionszahlen haben den höchsten Stand seit mehr als 30 Jahren erreicht. Ein Grund ist offenbar die wachsende Impfskepsis - auch in der Regierung. Von Nina Barth.
Das »nur zwei Prozent der globalen CO2-Emissionen«-Argument reflektiert nicht nur Verantwortungslosigkeit, Rücksichtslosigkeit und Ignoranz, sondern auch eine extreme Kurzsichtigkeit. Wer die Gründe dafür noch nicht verstanden hat: Bitte den Artikel lesen! ⬇️ spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch…
Friedrich Merz findet, Deutschland müsse erst einmal nicht mehr so viel für die Zukunft der Menschheit tun: Unser Anteil an den Emissionen sei doch so klein. Das ist ein sehr schlechtes Argument.

#feature The #gaza marine #gas field, located off the coast of the Gaza Strip, is a strategic resource with high economic potential for #palestine, but has long been at the center of legal and political disputes.
Situated approx 35 to 36 kilometers (20 to 22 nautical miles) west of Gaza City in water depths of about 603 to 610 meters, the field was first discovered in 1999 by British Gas (BG) using seismic technology (...)
Israel, leveraging political, economic, and military tools, has not only disrupted the legitimate exploitation of the Gaza Marine gas field by Palestinians but is also seeking to consolidate its unilateral control over this strategic resource.
Today in Labor History July 14, 1896: Legendary Spanish anarchist and military strategist Buenaventura Durruti was born. Durruti helped organize attacks on the government of dictator Miguel Primo de Riviera in 1923. He was influential in the anarchist federation FAI and the syndicalist union CNT. He is probably best known for leading thousands of anarchist troops (the Durruti Column) against the Franco dictatorship.
