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’
let me take out my crystal ball called pattern recognition to see what will happen. i see... bickering back and forth, legal suits that go no where, congressional hearings maybe... that result in nothing... fauci dies of old age and ultra rich... years later it is announced that the crimes are chargeable and fauci is indicted. since he's dead he can't appear in court and the case is closed. the public wins! (nothing of course but yeah! we did it... or something)
@Murray_N actually in this day and age, that is extremely believable. "hasn't he gone thru enough already? what difference at this point does it make?" (last one was dropped there on purpose)
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.

As an inveterate list-maker with failing health and spoons, something I find genuinely really helpful from the 2010's "productivity porn" explosion is David Allen's approach to job-lists (of "Getting Things Done" fame)
Essentially, my interpretation of it is this: you have a list, which can be as long as it needs to be, of stuff that needs/wants to be done, but unless it's "100%-absolutely-no fucking about" time-sensitive, it doesn't go on your daily tasks lists. If it can wait until tomorrow, it DOES NOT go on today's list.
I have stuff that *absolutely* needs to be done today - empty the dishwasher, clean the kitchen before tonight's dinner, empty the bins because it's bin day tomorrow and so on.
At the moment, because I'm on a low-energy day, they're the ONLY things on my "today" list.
Once they're done, if and only if I have spoons, I might refer to my longer "to do" list, and decide that I can, actually, put some stakes in my tomato plant pots and prop them up. Or maybe do a little bit of cooking to set me up better for this coming week.
But neither of those things are *urgent* in the same way as needing a clean kitchen is, so they don't go on the list whilst I'm twitchy on energy levels, because the mental impact of "shit, I didn't manage my list" is genuinely really bad for me.
I have a long list - I use Remember The Milk, which I basically use to capture literally everything I want to do.
Once a week, I consciously sit down and review it. At the moment, it's got 41 items on it. That's about normal for me.
Of those 41, only 1 of those currently HAS to be done today (empty the bins, I've already done some others of the HAVE TO variety). These are priority 1 (in this particular app, they're highlighted red)
I've then got a few which are not MUST DO TODAY but are a little time-sensitive. Staking my tomato plants is one of them - I clearly can't just keep ignoring it, because at some point they'll grow too big and fall over. These are priority 2, and so I will do those if I have energy to spare.
I then have priority 3 - these are things I'd really *like* to do, but are not time-crucial. I've a bunch of recipes to write-up and share, for instance, but the world won't stop turning if it takes me another 3 weeks to do this. I want to experiment more with growing lettuce and cabbage in milk bottles using hydroponics, but this is something that will please me, but is not time-sensitive.
Priority 4 is for things I'd "sort of" like to do, but am not massively or immediately passionate about. For instance, I'd like to find a decent alternative to google drive for hosting my recipes. My world won't end if I never do this; I'd like to, but it's at the lowest point on my priorities. I quite often delete stuff from here, if it's no longer important or relevant.
I also have a "someday/maybe" list, separate, where I keep stuff I'm only vaguely interested in - as an example, I have "learn how to sew" on this. This is basically a dumping ground for stuff I find interesting. I check it once a week, and delete or add as appropriate.
(I had a lot of camping-related stuff on here through 2020/2021, which I've since deleted as it became clear that I'm not well enough anymore, but at the time, it made all sorts of sense given that I wasn't comfortable with flying, but still wanted to holiday)
The point is to keep track of everything that you might want, and to be VERY comfortable with deleting stuff when it's no longer relevant to you.
Once you've done the "must be done today", is the old "put something on your list and immediately tick it off"
I did just manage to stake my tomato plants; I've also managed to make cold brew for tomorrow.
This isn't *only* for the feelz-good, it's also to be able to look back on tomorrow if needed, and say "ah, maybe that might have been a bit much, now that I think about it?"

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

Follow-up to Dr Bhakdi’s urgent warning. From Singapore, stats on dramatic death increases and live birth declines. Projected: 50% pop drop within 10 years.
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

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.

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…

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.
