“…bucking tradition…”??

You guys.

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

The worst trend in journalism is sucking up to Trump. The second worst trend is "scrollytelling", where you scroll for three days before finding the lede

The bullshit continues. Was told I couldn't opt out of facial scan when boarding *while the screen above the gate agent was saying otherwise*. After a short argument I ended up being rushed through sans photo but it was embarrassing. Holy moly.

Walking around the compiler

Walking around outside is good for you.[citation needed] A nice amble through the trees can quiet inner turbulence and make complex engineering problems disappear.

There is no thriving #Haskell community without its members of the LGBT community, and on that there cannot be any compromise.

Finally an accurate, non-cutesy headline from the NYT about Trump crushing free speech: Trump says broadcasters should lose their licenses for criticizing him.

I did so much programming on a 10.1" netbook that weighed no more than a frisbee (and I did sometimes frisbee it across the room). It couldn't compile large projects fast so there was a lot of coding between compiles. When I miss those days I don't use my external monitor but it's not the same.

Always be walking around the compiler

One of my core engineering beliefs is that if you are building something you should always be holistically looking at it

This summer I started working on Ruby's new JIT compiler—ZJIT, with zero JIT background

After two months of learning, I wrote about the questions that puzzled me most:
- Where does JIT code live?
- How does Ruby execute it?
- And more!

How Ruby Executes JIT Code: The Hidden Mechanics Behind the Magic

There are many gems on @b0rk.jvns.ca's blog but one of my favourites is "Some tactics for writing in public": jvns.ca/blog/2023/08...

Someone recently asked me – “how do you deal with writing in public? People on the internet are such assholes!”

I’ve often heard the advice “don’t read the comments”, but actually I’ve learned a huge amount from reading internet comments on my posts from strangers over the years, even if sometimes people are jerks. So I want to explain some tactics I use to try to make the comments on my posts more informative and useful to me, and to try to minimize the number of annoying comments I get.
