Keeping the Web Up Under the Weight of AI Crawlers
If you run a site on the open web, chances are you've noticed a big increase in traffic over the past few months, whether or not your site has been getting more viewers, and you're not alone. Operators everywhere have observed a drastic increase in automated traffic—bots—and in most cases attribute...

Ask yourself: How many water bottles thrown at cops are worth keeping one innocent American* teen out of inhumane #ICE detention?
For anyone criticizing the #LA protests or suggesting they should stop for any reason, let's be clear about the stakes. Read this article (or my summary):
https://abcnews.go.com/US/massachusetts-teen-detained-ice-family-video-ice/story?id=122511685
This 18-year-old was snatched without a warrant, because he was in his dad's car and allegedly (possibly a lie or mistake) his dad drove recklessly. He's been in the US since he was 5, originally on a student visa that's since expired. He is an innocent American, by any reasonable definition of those two words*. Thankfully, he's since been released on bail, but he may yet be held indefinitely in ICE detention (in inhumane conditions that have been repeatedly documented) and/or separated from his family & friends and shipped off to Brazil where he last lived when he was 5 (ICE does not care whether he speaks Portuguese, has any family there, etc), all potentially without due process (though he seems to be getting that in this case). Even if this doesn't happen to Marcelo due to the media attention & protests, it is certainly happening to other innocent Americans throughout the country who aren't as lucky to have people standing up for them.
Here's Marcelo speaking about detention conditions and those he was detained with:

Do you know how many kids like Marcelo were detained in LA yesterday? Probably zero, because of the protests, including their confrontational tactics. The most "violence" I've seen (from the protestors) is throwing a water bottle at a line of heavily-armored riot police. So the protests are working to protect the community. If you're suggesting a change in tactics, consider whether your suggested tactics (like pre-scheduled non-confrontational protests that have been happening for weeks) will protect the Marcelos of LA.
*Whether he's innocent or American should not in fact matter, but sadly it might to some reading this. If that's you, you've still got some growing up to do.

Stara istuttaa 85 000 kesäkukkaa – Stadin kesäkukkien suunnittelija vaihtuu yli 30 vuoden jälkeen
Helsingin kesä on jälleen täynnä kukkaloistoa. Helsingin kaupungin rakentamispalveluliikelaitos Stara on kasvattanut Kaupunginpuutarhalla 155 000 kausikasvia, joista 94 000 on kesäkukkia. Kaupunkikuvasta tutuiksi tulleita erilaisia suuria kukka-astioita on noin 900, ja ne sijoitetaan ympäri Helsinkiä. Kaiken kaikkiaan Helsingissä kesäkukkia istutetaan yli 180 kohteeseen. Stara vastaa 85 000 kesäkukan istuttamisesta. Istutuksia tehdään Staran hoitamille alueille kukkaryhmiin ja -asti…

Just occurred to me that, while #TypeScript transition to a #Golang based typechecker and compiler is going to be quite good for development agility... this move could force other actors such as #Deno to rethink how they operate.
Types striping will be as easy as today, perhaps even easier, but if I recall correctly, Deno was offering typechecking as well, keeping this feature might become much more expensive in the future.

Wenn die Kipppunkte erreicht sind und auch die Wetterlage richtig massiv kippt – statt nur hier und da mal eine Überschwemmung oder Geröll-Lawine, die jedes Jahr das eine oder andere Dorf wegreißt, und die Dürre, die den landwirten die Ernte versaut, weshalb sie mit laufendem Diesel-Bulldog gegen die Grünen ziehen – dann werden wir ein kleines „Ups“ hören, gefolgt von massivem Aufrüsten von Frontex und Hetze gegen die „anderen“.

I expect the people who have guns to defend themselves from a tyrannical government will be keeping the people of Los Angeles safe.
Unless they were lying this whole time.
