Amazon's changing the way the Kindle works on Tuesday, so if you want to download and de-DRM your books, you have until the 26th to get it done. I wrote a quick how-to, for anyone who is interested: next.content.town/p/kindle-drm...

Remember when Senator Banks attacked a president who wasn’t engaged in litigation against almost half a dozen press outlets and stayed silent against one who was?

“John F. Kelly, his longest-serving White House chief of staff in his first term, has said that Mr. Trump would tell his press aides to publicly repeat something that he had just made up. When Mr. Kelly would object, saying, “but that’s not true,” Mr. Trump would say, “but it sounds good.”

May you be lucky enough to have a leader who loves his country half as much as this man loves his.

Hmm, Tapestry (usetapestry.com) from @iconfactory.bsky.social looks pretty interesting. Not sure I'd want to use it for everything, but the fact that their connectors are open source (github.com/TheIconfacto...) is appealing. Tempted to buy a lifetime license just to support this model.

If you need something awe inspiring to wrap up your weekend and exercise your brain a bit, this is a damn fine choice. If you haven't seen part 1 already, go watch that too. Also, VERY excited to learn that Terence Tao and Tanya Klowden are working on a book on this topic!

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

On the topic of DevOps—and let me just add, DevOps is a set of practices, NOT a team!—it amuses me to realize how long I've gone now never really learning k8s beyond the basics. I've had years now where it just hasn't been worth the time. And I don't see that changing any time soon.

I spent the last few days fighting with a bunch of DevOps chores: migrating repos to GitHub, setting up GitHub Actions, dealing with both Terraform and CDK setups, etc. And while I don't miss doing that every day, it was immensely satisfying being back in the thick of it.

This is a damn fine thread. At least read to the part about privilege and using it when you have it (tl;dr: you really need to, especially in our current world situation).

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

This is an impressive release. I use @deno.land for almost all my personal projects and general tool-building needs these days. And each release makes me feel better about that choice.

All these unknown number calls I'm getting from Colorado area codes since I started as Director of Engineering at a CO-based company MUST be entirely coincidental, right? I'm sure it bears no relationship to the large number of emails I've gotten from companies offering their services.

Why would the New York Times call this prosecutor, who was both appointed by Trump and who refused to participate in his bribery, “ambitious?“ Lots of words come to mind, like “integrity“ & “ethics.“ But “ambitious“ is trashing her. NY Times, your bias is showing. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/n...
