“It is absurd to make elaborate security checks on debugging runs, when no trust is put in the results, and then remove them in production runs… What would we think of a sailing enthusiast who wears his life jacket when training on dry land but takes it off as soon as he goes to sea?” - Tony Hoare

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

Can confirm, 2022 was last year, math checks out.

It's almost like invading someone's country is a universally bad way to make friends 🤔

I'd love tighter operator trait system, eg trait Field (in math sense) instead of having to and being able to implement Add, AddAssign, Sub, SubAssign, etc incoherently with each other.

Same for Deref/AsRef/Borrow - there has to be a clear parent-child relationship throughout the trait system.

Yes I loved that in Groovy back in the day.

I keep thinking there can't be a lower point in this idiotic timeline, but oh boy each new day brings new wonderful surprises.

Let me get this right:

- US attacks Iran.
- Russia helps Iran.
- US helps Russia by easing off sanctions.

What's wrong with this picture?

It’s Ukraine’s turn to ask if we even said “thank you”.

Tweet Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

Just fucking great. By all means, keep helping out Russia.

A solid monetisation plan.

Jfc if you wanted to flex with your military, all you had to do is up your defence support for Ukraine - we'd welcome it, you'd actually stop an ongoing war like you claimed to with so many, save countless lives, gain reliable allies - but no, why bother when you can start a war of your own.

AI And The Ship of Theseus Slopforks: what happens when a library gets rewritten with AI?

I didn't have enough things to lose sleep over today, tysm.

C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

Sounds like it's you who'd want customisable keybindings 😅

Not really, I don't care about customisable key bindings, I just constantly expect it to behave just like VSCode _especially_ because the editor looks the same, and Ctrl+D is something I use all the time for quick renames / find-replace :)

I mean at least that's the official goal.

I'm not sure if "desktop app" APIs fit into WinterTC.

It's supposed to standardise a minimum common APIs shared by browsers and server-side runtimes alike, and things like clipboard or USB just don't make sense in environments like CF Workers / Shopify Functions / etc.

Oh yeah, but it has cutomisable keybindings.

For example, one I'm always tripped up by is Ctrl+D duplicating the selected text instead of selecting next occurrence like in VSCode.

Likewise!

VSCode disassembling generated WebAssembly code from a Swift breakpoint.

Great language support means nothing without great tooling. Watch Jonas Devlieghere show how LLDB brings first-class debugging to Swift on WebAssembly. fosdem.org/2026/schedul... #Wasm #FOSDEM

What next, you are going to tell me I can get vscode keybindings to work?
