Much as white southerners acted like the election of a black man as mayor would be the death of the city as they had long known it,
white New Yorkers are now acting like the election of Mamdani will be the death of NYC.
Some of it is religious bigotry,
some of it is class panic,
but all of it is as unfounded as the reaction to the first black mayors a half century ago.

"Too Young to Die"
As the seemingly endless NYC mayoral campaign enters its final weeks, the howls of the Democratic establishment in the city are only getting louder. They've really convinced themselves that the election of a (gasp) Democratic Socialist will mean the absolute destruction of the city. Cops will quit! Billionaires will flee!

I love how simple Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow makes building features like this, especially when using class-based Kitten pages and components :)

Screen capture of the Team schedule interface from the Gaza Verified admin site. It is a table of names and days (Aral, Casey, Joy, Aseel, Fabio And Mondays … Fridays) with checkboxes at each name/day pair. It starts out greyed out. The Unlock to edit button is clicked and the interface comes alive (opacity returns to full and the checkboxes become green and clickable). The person toggles a few checkboxes and clicks the Lock button to lock the interface again and then repeats the process to und…

There is a cult of action at the heart of tech.
This cult says: don't mind that the systems are broken. Don't try and fix them. You can just do things, using you ubermensch will.
AI has plugged into this cult to promise 10x-ing your action. But instead your will becomes subservient to the machine.
Doing what is easiest is only going to make things worse. The only helpful course of action is to fix the system.

"Just doing things" is not a path to value
Action for the sake of action feels good, but the path of least resistance leads you to surrender your own agency.

Even Malala's been ghosted: '"not one of them picked up the phone, or replied to my messages [regarding her pleas to evacuate Afghan partners]. To the men who ran the world, I was just a photo op." [...] She notes, pointedly, that female politicians did.'
Deeply reflexive piece on her unrelenting efforts on the right to education. Personal, political, professional. From child activist to global woman leader.
At 28 she has done more than most will in our life…

The global icon of women’s education is ready to tell the full story of her turbulent recent life, from arguing with her parents to being ghosted by the statesmen who were once desperate to be seen with her

Appreciate the nod that spatial data viz is hard, @…!
The motivation part about expensive GIS tools is a little off though 💸 :qgis:

NOTE: Everything About Maps and Data Visualization Is Hard. A quick reminder: Everything is hard. That’s the thing with data visualization. You have to understand the data. You have to understand the context. You have to understand the technique. You have to be an artist. You have to understand composition and color theory. All of these are hard in a practical way and in a theoretical way—Fil Rivière on We can always talk about maps
Traditional GIS Solutions and Their Limitations So why would you need DuckDB for GIS? In the past, you needed very expensive tools for doing GIS applications, tools like ArcGIS, QGIS and others. These tools obviously do much more, but it added a high barrier to getting started.

Father Larry Dowling's account of leading a Eucharistic Procession to offer Holy Communion to those held by ice in Broadview, IL (near Chicago) and being barred from doing so.
"No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ."

Took a few minutes over lunch to iron out the last of the bugs in the happy path of PCIe link training.
There's no timeouts or fallback if there's problems but if the other side is happy, it will train up to L0 and then sit there ignoring all incoming traffic.
After a while, the link partner gets mad that it hasn't seen a single DLLP from me and drops the link. I don't implement recovery yet so things go downhill from there.

After almost a week of refactoring and experimenting with several different approaches, I've updated my Zig nD SIMD vector library to be compatible with the latest Zig 0.15.1, and at the same time cleaned up some internals.
The solution I settled on is a mix of techniques proposed by others, and was needed due to the removal of the struct/namespace-merging syntax in the new Zig version, which this library heavily relies on. I don't like that the new source code is now more than…

Within minutes of federal agents with ICE, the DEA and FBI arriving at the workplace,
a rapid response network mobilized to confront the agents carrying out an immigration raid at the Bro-Tex distribution center.
As community members rallied to halt the raid,
federal agents cordoned off the area and began trying to clear protesters.
Agents used pepper balls, OC canisters and pepper spray on the crowd
as they tried to clear a path for a convoy of their vehicles, s…
