ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7d

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

This is great news! GitHub will require use of passkeys for 2FA when publishing to NPM. What a huge step up in security compared to other phishable 2FA methods that were historically supported 🎉

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US.

If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them.

Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.

One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

"Today's package managers still optimize for the last decade's problems. In 2025, the real bottleneck isn't I/O anymore. It's system calls". Deep dive into Bun's architecture, that treats package installation as a systems programming problem.

Behind The Scenes of Bun Install

Learn how Bun is able to cut install times by up to 25×. Bun skips Node.js's overhead with direct system calls, cache-friendly data layouts, OS-level copy-on-write, and full-core parallelism.

MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd for pointing out Kirk’s hate speech while Fox keeps Brian Kilmeade after he said killing the homeless via lethal injection would end homelessness.

A perfect example of how right-wing extremism is tolerated, but even pointing it out gets punished. The media reinforces this.
