I’m on board. I’ll make the app. How’s it going to work? The user taps a button that says “Request Scott Hanselman” and then you get a ping to accept or decline and it sends the user your location? Sounds like your phone is just going to die instantly, I hope you have a backup battery.

At what point do you turn into a real paper and not just a satirical one? Id pay double for that.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.

To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

Interesting. I have a SP7 right now and it just seems to be getting slower and slower by the day. Constantly using all of its memory and hitting the CPU limit instantly.
I'm assuming you're not experiencing that? 16 GB of Ram has been enough?

@kidjenius.bsky.social so what device are you using to program these days? What’s your daily dev device? I can’t imagine it’s the SP 12”.

The fact they chose to attack instead of peacefully responding shows that some of these officers have abandoned any compassion and humanity they have. I still believe there are officers trying to do things the proper and humane way but it seems like officers like these vastly outnumber them.

It does look like she touched him but not in an aggressive or hostile manner. His actions were not warranted and doing it in front of her kids was unconscionable. Why couldn’t they have gotten another person in to calm down the visibly upset woman and escort her to leave if they wanted her to? 1/2

What type of control do you use for the canvas? I’ve wanted to create my own custom drawing app for my mom but I’ve had no idea where do start.

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

I studied Computer Science and got an Associate Degree in Computer Science and (since it was easier to get with the credits I had) a Bachelor in Information Technology.

Have any tips for someone who just graduated and is struggling to get interviews? I’ve already changed my resume this past week. Any insight is helpful. I do have a question, do you read cover letters or are they ignored most of the time?

Matt Bonanno @mattbdev.bsky.social · 18d

As someone trying to get into the tech sector I can say that it doesn’t help when you can’t even land an interview for an entry level role. Do you know how many times I question whether or not I was rejected in favor of a foreign hire? I can’t learn or get more experience if I’m not given a shot.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

if I'm Bob Iger, I go to every Nexstar exec and member of Congress who has young children, and say:

there is a movie on disney+ your kid watches endlessly. that you rely on

be a real shame if that movie guarding your sanity from the abyss went back into the disney vault, wouldn't it

Kimmel stays.

President Trump -- who refused to call Gov. Tim Walz to express his condolences after the assassination of the Minnesota House Speaker because he thought it would only "waste time" -- says that Walz should've called *him* to ask that flags be lowered.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23d

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?
