WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

You know what would be cool? If some of these guys tried to replace the internet with a simple-answers machine where they control what's inside, how you access it, and what it's allowed to say. I can't imagine any problems with that! Maybe we should use their output to build all future software?
The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies.
They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube.
Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

I just got my CI from 6m44s down to 4m7s and it took ONE change in Playwright config.
How come nobody ever told me Playwright fails to properly calculate the number of cores your CI machine has? This tiny screenshot screams of MONTHS of time wasted on CI over the years.

Big improvement to frameworks on Cloudflare! You can now deploy most frameworks from the CLI with zero config. No adding adapters. No editing configs. No wrangler.toml! It's all done automatically. Experimental now, with 10 frameworks supported today.

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

I've seen teams burn out maintaining Kubernetes for 500 users.
3 microservices. 40 hours/week fighting YAML. Zero business value.
A $5 VPS with Docker Compose would've been fine.
Stop cosplaying as Google and ship actual features.

Using Dependabot and worried about NPM supply-chain attacks?
Enable `cooldown` periods to delay potentially risky package updates.
This helps prevent newly published, unvetted packages from being automatically introduced through GitHub pull requests.

1. This is true, coding agents make you more productive if you know how to use them.
2. MBAs hoping coding agents will replace coders wholesale are going to be very disappointed with the results if they try.
