New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Non-autistic person here saying Kennedy is perpetuating harmful, disgusting stereotypes about autism. He is a disgrace to science who needs to be removed.

Looking through old photos and I found this one of a whiteboard in Mozilla offices from Nov 2011. IIRC I was explaining early borrow checker designs to @dherman.dev and @pcwalton.bsky.social.

Wrote a timestamp to SQLite as "2006-01-02T15:04:05.999" instead of "2006-01-02 15:04:05.999" [1]. Every subsequent query failed. No error. No warning. Just silent failure. Fellow Postgres users: just remember everyone, we've got it pretty good. — [1] Strings because SQLite has no time types.

Reading some of the more unctuous trolls on HN, I think they might have an opportunity for a sidehustle: I would gladly engage them to apply to @oxide.computer just so we can make sure that we successfully don't hire them, pentesting for asshole vulns in our hiring process.

Maestra conducts the forest orchestra...

John Fetterman insists he is in good health. But staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew.

WE COME FROM THE LAND OF ICE AND SNOW FROM THE MIDNIGHT SUN WHERE THE HOT SPRINGS FLOW

This is real

Temu has gone from showing tariff charges on items shipped from China to simply removing them from its US website. US customers can no longer purchase items shipped from China on Temu’s website. We are now in the finding out stage of Trump’s trade war.

Here are my top artists I listened to this last week! 🎸

This is not something the President can decree. Reporting like this makes it seem as if Trump has more power than he does. He does not have the power to do this. His wishes and obscene desires are not, in fact, policy. He’s just talking— essentially braying at the moon like an enraged wolf.

"Is It Unethical To Remove The Foxgirl From Anubis" - the greatest thread in the history of Hacker News, locked by a moderator after 12239 pages of heated debate

working on like 4 video games at the same time atm lol

The average American has three friends

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

actually theres no way i *wouldnt* expect someone to pull a gun out of this hoodie

Our compensation model at @oxide.computer was a very hot topic when we first posted about it over four years ago. But now years later (and a tripling in size!), how is it going? An overdue update: oxide.computer/blog/oxides-...

I truly cannot believe “should we have a food safety infrastructure” is something we are litigating in the year two thousand fucking twenty five and the person currently in charge is on the “no” side

Kennedy is among the most malevolent figures in all of American history.

This man's mind is a broken-down ride in a haunted carnival set up in the parking lot of an abandoned K-Mart.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Me: “I’m not stressed” Also me: *has stress dream about multiple wild animals (including a snow leopard) taking up residence in the house and hiring a company to gut and rebuild the entire house while we’re still living in it*

>war starts over taxes on trade >insecure young man uncertain about his place in the world turns evil after listening to a pseudoreligous podcast >liberal republican order gets auto-coup'd because it's too hidebound to institutionally respond to both internal & external threats how did he know

can't spell tariffs without ffs

Carney says Trump is the new Brexit: Mark Carney, “When you break off or substantially rupture trade relationships with your major trading partners, you end up with slower growth, higher inflation, higher interest rates, volatility, weaker currency, a weaker economy.”

Another big feature for Zed is right around the corner! I've never been a huge fan of debuggers, but from what I've seen so far, I think this one could make me a convert.

The forever-correct way to translate Canadian parties to other countries without using their politics for reference

LGBTQ is pronounced “el-jibbetique” (rhymes with boutique) and I will not be taking questions at this time.

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

Reading this was a real trip:

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

Being an adult is saying "I just have to get through this week" every week until you die.

Jesus Christ, he is going for the military dictatorship play.

It’s so weird that more people aren’t just losing their shit about how bad Trump is getting. He’s more deranged every day and we still see pundits writing about his “strategy.” There’s no strategy. There’s no plan. The president is not sane.

I have waited my whole life, for this moment....

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.
