The people on top are good in one thing: getting to the top and staying there. This can help for some of the work that needs to be done but is a kinda one-sided qualification.
We should try to get people on top that know how to do the work that needs to be done – and allow them to do their work¹.
In politics as in companies.

Found another ngscopeclient optimization opportunity: on this benchmark we spent about ten seconds out of a minute waiting for sscanf() as a result of some legacy APIs (dating back to when all drawing was done in Cairo) that store color of protocol data as HTML \#rrggbb color codes at some steps of the pipeline then convert to packed RGBA32 later. There's caching but apparently even that isn't enough.

Wanted to get a cross section here, as this is NOT in corporate USA news. I have a link to it if you want. Fyi, that's the REAL reason for the Iran attacks. Had you previously heard of it?

Watched a couple of episodes of #DeArktiskeReddere on DR (public broadcaster on Denmark) yesterday (series about #Greenland's search and rescue team - though they do a lot of emergency air ambulance type work too).
It's a really gripping and well filmed piece of work, sensitive on the difficult topics too and shows really well how different authorities work together.
I imagine it would be uncomfortable watching for USians who seem to imagine some kind of stone age society seeing healthcare emergencies dealt with so professionally with such excellent equipment (and for free at point of delivery).
I also find it hard to explain that the categories and separation between "Danes" and "Greenlanders" isn't always so clear cut and I think the programme got that over well.
It's filmed mostly in Danish but with Swedish, Norwegian and quite a bit of English, so may not travel easily but it's a really well done piece of TV and if you are at all interested in Greenland, it's worth seeking out.

“I’d like to say that we’re winning these cases because we’re all a bunch of Johnnie Cochrans or Perry Masons or whatever,” Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison said. “But the truth is, what he’s doing is patently illegal, and a 1L law student would know it.”

“How may the compulsive programmer be distinguished from a merely dedicated, hard-working professional programmer? First, by the fact that the ordinary professional programmer addresses himself to the problem to be solved, whereas the compulsive programmer sees the problem mainly as an opportunity to interact with the computer. The ordinary computer programmer will usually discuss both his substantive and his technical programming problem with others. He will generally do lengthy preparatory work, such as writing and flow diagramming, before beginning work with the computer itself. His sessions with the computer may be comparatively short. He may even let others do the actual console work. He develops his program slowly and systematically. When something doesn't work, he may spend considerable time away from the computer, framing careful hypotheses to account for the malfunction and designing crucial experiments to test them. Again, he may leave the actual running of the computer to others. He is able, while waiting for results from the computer, to attend to other aspects of his work, such as documenting what he has already done. When he has finally composed the program he set out to produce, he is able to complete a sensible description of it and to turn his attention to other things. The professional regards programming as a means toward an end, not as an end in itself. His satisfaction comes from having solved a substantive problem, not from having bent a computer to his will.”
—Joseph Weizenbaum, Computer Power and Human Reason, 1976

Something I do not think the fashy Trump-licking crowd understands is how •deeply• we here in Minneapolis and environs felt everything that’s happened.
The ICE invasion might have been a lot of things for the folks behind it: a strategic offensive, a gambit, a bender, a job, a joy ride. But I suspect that across all those cases, it was something they feel like they can walk away from whenever they decide to be done with it.
Not so for us neighbors. They have no idea how angry we are. They have no idea how long we’re going to stay angry. If you were a part of the ICE invasion, be warned: people will be out hunting for your head as long as you walk free on this earth.

JD Vance will visit Hungary on Tuesday
in an 11th-hour attempt to boost key MAGA ally Prime Minister Viktor Orbšn
before an all-important election on Sunday, but the U.S. vice president’s trip appears unlikely to swing an increasingly bitter race.
Trump has already issued several endorsements of Orbšn
— a Kremlin-aligned proponent of “illiberal democracy”
— but polls suggest those interventions have done little to boost the struggling prime minister,

I will once again repeat what I think is a nationally winning campaign for a US opposition party (should any care to exist), now with Berlatsky’s improved phrasing:
❝If elected, I will fight like hell to:
- destroy Donald Trump, everything he has done, and everything he stands for,
- tax the living shit out of billionaires, and
- use that money to repair the damage they’ve done to the US.❞
Not saying that’s everything that needs to happen, or an entire political philosophy, or the solution to everything. Only saying that I think that — simply that — would win elections. Try it and see. You cowards. fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app

Harry Dunn was awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal in 2023, the second-highest civilian honor, which was presented to him by former President Joe Biden.
"I once told Congress,
'I did my job, now you do yours,'"
Dunn says in his announcement video posted Wednesday.

Mexico is “a country that has done nothing but cooperate with US interests on all levels”, Thomas Payan said.
“And here he is rubbing Mexico’s nose in what is essentially a very deep wound in Mexico’s history … it’s seared in Mexico’s memory.”
According to Payan, the statement also speaks volumes as to how Trump would like his presidency to be remembered.
“He wants to go down as a great president who expanded the American Empire,” he said.
“It’s just sheer 19th-centu…

This week, something broke.
Maybe Trump does not understand the link between the past and the present,
but other people do.
They can see that, as a result of decisions that Trump made but cannot explain,
the Strait of Hormuz is blocked by Iranian mines and drones.
They can see oil prices rising around the world and they understand that it is difficult and dangerous for the U.S. Navy to solve this problem.
They can also hear the president lashing out,
