The .io domain has an interesting history--never of course actually controlled by anyone who's likely even seen the Indian Ocean much less touched an island there--and an unknown future when the UK cedes the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io

Yeah but it's got all that income from big tech companies and startups for their .io domains, we want a piece of that!

I'd normally reach for bash and pandoc for something like that, but if you're on Windows it looks like that's quite doable with PowerShell, a good example here: stackoverflow.com/a/16537996

I was trying to figure out how they could simultaneously hold the views that "women have no say whether their eggs will develop into children" and "parents have full say whether their children will develop into adults," but of course the answer is their most cherished belief: "men have full say."

And the state Republicans want to keep it that way -- just yesterday the House passed SB 10 to disenfranchise students by disallowing using state-issued student IDs to vote.

Wow, congrats! Their tools are amazing, albeit pricey, but it's great that some of that goes to support community efforts like yours. Everyone should have a copy of the Big Blue Book!

Hey @alt18f.bsky.social and @altusds.bsky.social government services are super easy to rewrite from scratch, right? There's no weird corner cases or obscure rules to consider, are there?

The middle class has no place in modern feudalism. For those not born into aristocracy, you either manage to climb up into the gentry (by skill, perseverance, luck, or grift) or fall/get kicked back down with the peasants.
How did we let them drag us back to the middle ages?

“We need some common-sense safety protections for people in the state of Ohio, primarily for children,” Senate President Rob McColley, R-Napoleon, said.
Pearl clutching intensifies. “Common sense” as an expression needs to die, especially in political discourse.

For the crazy-but-not-suicidal there's also the related "backyard ultras" popping up around the country, I enjoyed this documentary about last year's Prairie on Fire Backyard Ultra in Indiana (which is already sold out for this year): www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgDN...

If there were any doubts that Karl Popper was right, this should lay them to rest. Now let’s lay the intolerant to rest, along with those who would abuse tolerance for their own selfish and twisted means.

While it’s fun to speculate on her personal proclivities and tendency to overdose on coffee on an important day (I can relate), the article makes it sound like she was one of the “good ones,” arguing her client’s position regardless of personal beliefs? If so we should embrace, not villainize her.

Results. The rye was really high hydration and I had some trouble shaping it, with the large loaf additionally sticking to the top of the Pullman pan after proofing, so a bit lumpy. Multigrain and boule came out pretty good.

I was also struck by how CW described himself and the other CA staffers - young, intelligent, naïve, and completely engrossed with the technical aspects alone - which sounds like many of the DOGE staffers. Hopefully one of them will similarly develop a conscience when the full impact strikes home.
