You bolt awake in a dimly lit server room. You are not online. It is October 29, 1969. You are Leonard Kleinrock, and you have changed your mind. Computers must never be networked.

I love the idea that America developed a weather-controlling superweapon and the only thing they use it for is just to fuck over Florida specifically twice a year

YouTube needs a "I'm having friends over" button that changes your recommended page to Hells Kitchen clips or whatever. Nothing worse that turning on the Chromecast after a blunt and the recommendations are like 7 NL Balatro episodes and a 5h deep dive into Mario 64 stair physics
These attacks have been practical in specialized situations for a long time, but this is scary.

Do not do this. Don't you dare. The one true timezone for databases is always UTC.
You get this wrong at your peril and it haunts you forever. Allow me to demonstrate by sending some people into fits with three words:

In a very long immigration line at Dulles:
Kid: “Daddy, why are we in jail?”
Dad: “It’s called Dulles Airport.”

I don't care if it's authentic. I don't care if it's trolling. If someone says something sympathetic to Nazis, I take them at their word that they're sympathetic to Nazis.
RFK, Jr. has now made it clear with the use of "1488" that he's sympathetic to Nazis, and I believe him.
This always makes me so angry. I have met quite a few extremely competent women, who I would want on my team any day of the week, that no longer work in tech due to shit like this (or just having coworkers constantly awkwardly hit on them).

WOW! IT'S HAPPENING: the Steering Council posted their "intent to accept PEP 703", in other words to allow for a version of #Python without the #GIL.
@colesbury's heroic effort to prove nogil is feasible will be paying off.
Now the real work begins!

Chronic problems of Czechia: we don’t kidnap children, bomb hospitals, and occupy neighbours. Get out of Ukraine.

I am flabbergasted that people still refer to the "innovation" of crypto. After 15 years of this nonsense—the same age as the iPhone—there is still not a single example of a company that uses crypto for any productive activity other than offshore gambling.
That's NOT innovation.

GOP: We want a government built on Biblical values.
Dems: Woot! We're feeding the poor!
GOP: Wait.
Dems: Healing the sick up in this motherfucker!
GOP: No, not like that.
Dems: [Grabs the mic] ALL LOANS FORGIVEN AFTER SEVEN YEARS.

The 7 hottest days on Earth in the last 100,000+ years all happened in the last week:
July 6 ~ 17.23°C / 63.01°F
July 7 ~ 17.20°C / 62.96°F
July 4 ~ 17.18°C / 62.93°F
July 5 ~ 17.18°C / 62.92°F

July 10 ~ 17.12°C / 62.81°F
July 9 ~ 17.11°C / 62.79°F
I'll be honest, I kinda wish the news media would make it clear that even if they found the sub, if it's not on the surface there really isn't a realistic chance at rescue at this point. They are doomed or dead already.
