It’s nonsense. A judge just ruled they can’t. They’re doing it anyway.

Every one of these actions is a test balloon. Every one is the same question: “What can we get away with?”

And every time the response is anything short of a political punch in the face, they call it a success and try the next thing too.

Trump invokes 18th-century wartime act to deport five Venezuelans

This is what gets me about the question, "Zomg, what to do if he doesn't follow court orders?"

If he can get away with it, he will not follow court orders. We've only seen the "What can I get away with?" movie run about 500 times so far.

And the answer so far has been, "Everything."

He's going to keep doing absolutely all the shit until the big guns show up and haul him off to Rikers Island (I wish). There's no other language he understands.

Just voted to withold on the REI board candidates. Having someone with more experience with labor negotiations would make sense for the co-op, and I'm disappointed that they blocked that candidate from the board.

Grateful to these journalists who explained the situation in a detailed and balanced way.

🚨 new....kind of new??? .... developer science from me! 🚨

I have significantly updated the preprint manuscript for our AI Skill Threat study: it now includes a richly descriptive (I hope) overview of identity threat, has integrated many fresh references and sources of wisdom about developers since our first rough draft report, and more fully explicates our theory for how and why learning & belonging help mitigate threat experiences for developers

And why care about that? Well, because they're powerful....AND changeable. Many factors that have been proposed as key factors in developer experience, or as correlates of development outcomes, do NOT show promise as intervention targets. Our work tests factors that do: ability beliefs are malleable and have been the subject of many promising interventions

In my quest to advocate for the importance of seeing developers as WHOLE people, with WHOLE psychologies (not just brains in jars), I wrote:

"Feeling that an important identity is threatened is recognized as a highly impactful experience which can shape human behavior, and which takes diverse forms. For instance, in being categorized against one’s will, in feeling one’s identity-based value being undermined, or in experiencing threats to the acceptance or distinctiveness of one’s identity"

the USB-C connector can't be in the litte corner spot without colliding with the key... what do I do? 😭😭

taking the chance to re-implement the whole CAD file in #build123d instead of cadquery (build123d.readthedocs.io/). It's quite some effort but coming out a lot more readable, which means more editable, which is what I need right now as I tweak it and experiment with things like a possible "fully closed shell" design.

Thanks again @alderwick for the suggestion on how to solve the design dilemma! I haven't cut the USB-hole yet as you can see, but the spot is reserved ;)

If anyone's interested here is the graph for CPU temperature when my new #OPNsense N100 router was running in the homelab cabinet rack vs when I just put a simple USB desk fan beside it to blow out the heat. A roughly 15C drop so the results will be much better hopefully when I get the proper cooling fans for the cabinet. PS The drop to zero is where I powered it off whilst tidying some other cables near by.

Utterly unconscionable – though hardly surprising – for the New York Times to print such vile fabrications, completely untethered from empirical reality, and to keep platforming a man who would spread such extremist propaganda as one of their most prominent columnists.
Bret Stephens in a piece published in the NYT this morning: "I’d say the lowest-quality institutions created since the 1990s have names like Columbia and Berkeley — these are essentially factories of Maoist cadres taught by professors whose political views ranged almost exclusively from the left to the far left."
