I wish it were “against all odds” but by my observations, the probabilities are a lot higher than I would like.

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.

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

“If Russia is listening right now…”

“Stand back, and stand by…”

Yeah, he’s not even subtle about it.

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.

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.

Yes, apparently firing was ‘enough’ /s

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.

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.

It was, in fact, hilarious.
