  • Goddammit. It's my moronic senator behind that. Figures. I'm not sure he reaches Tuberville or Inhofe levels of stupid, but he is a terrible person.

  • MTG said she was 'uncomfortable' showing photos of Hunter Biden having sex but Americans 'deserve' to see them

  • Ms Greene is apparently unaware that human beings have sex, and thus is astonished when she discovered the younger Biden engaging.

  • Boeing plane crash: Coroner rules Britons unlawfully killed

    Jump

  • Yeah, it should have been a A level criticality -- functionally impossible to relay bad information, tri mode redundancy, shut down if it detects itself in error, etc.

  • Boeing plane crash: Coroner rules Britons unlawfully killed

    Jump

  • I don't know if it's technical detail translating poorly into journalism, but from reading up on it, I don't believe it was just a sensor deploying at the wrong time. It was a sensor providing flight stability critical information with no tri-mode redundancy built in (sold secondarily as a "safety mechanism" reporting incorrectly, causing MCAS to react fatally.

    I think that "sensor with no redundancy" is a pretty important fact.

  • US Supreme Court sides with man who sent female musician barrage of unwanted messages

    Jump

  • If I understand right, this is a clarification (of sorts) to the standard of "true threat". Ken White covers a lot of first amendment speech issues and has a very good explanation here: https://popehat.substack.com/p/supreme-court-clarifies-true-threats

    So. To the practitioner, or to the internet tough-talker, what does this mean? It means that the law of the land, at least 7-2, is that a threat is only outside the protection of the First Amendment if:

    • A reasonable person, familiar with the context, would interpret the threat as a sincere statement of intent to do harm, and
    • The speaker was reckless about whether the threat would be taken sincerely — that is, they “consciously disregarded a substantial risk” that it would be taken seriously.

  • Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why?

    Jump

  • I use GK for everything and usually only use CLI when there's something a little exotic. I like seeing it update in real time on another screen and I like the diff engine for quickly assessing changes and making sure everything I expected was altered and nothing I didn't. I know there are other tools but GitKraken is the fastest for me.

    Also have found it a good tool for teaching other engineers (usually older) how Git works. We tried out Sourcetree but it was super clunky at the time.

    If I had to find a tool between pure CLI and pure GUI I'd probably recommend Emacs Magit porcelain. Works quite well.
