It's called Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, entirely different organization than in the UK, so yes, it's an American thing.

AI is really not good at coding either. AI generated code cannot be refactored easily, it has no intent, it just happens to run sometimes. Coding as a craft is by and large still a communication job where intent and shared understanding inform the approach. Good code is hard to write, easy to read.

Black and tan cattle dog laying over my legs. One of the very first photos I took of her in 2015.

Same pup, but looking a lot more grey than tan, sitting outside this morning, one of the last photos I took of her.

We said goodbye to our doggo today. She was loyal, too smart for her own good, and opinionated in the way all cattle dogs are. I'm really gonna miss her.

If you can change your css, you can set the style on all code blocks for the overflow-wrap to break-word. (assuming you will never want the non wrapping). A pre around code element what makes a code block. So `pre code { overflow-wrap: break-word; }` should work. pre by default doesn't wrap.

You are assuming an immigrant is going to end up a burden not a boon to a community.

It's a "hustle culture" grift all the way down. Appealing to our worst capitalistic habits in order to sell out each other and ourselves.

Amy Klobuchar’s Record on Trump Is Shameful - Racket As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.

I like to think about the fact that places keep needing whistles means more people everyday are deciding to get more involved. We are not yet at maximum whistle saturation.

This is using @mspwhistles.bsky.social's stl, printed at draft settings. Takes about 1.5hrs for 10 whistles on my printer.

I'm officially looking for a job. If anyone needs a senior/staff backend engineer with experience in node or dotnet who knows docker and k8s and has a fair amount of graphql and architecture experience feel free to message me.

A political party that builds itself on a ground of moral superiority cannot refuse to take the moral position at every opportunity and still expect to survive.

When you get enough people saying the same thing it doesn't matter what mostly window dressing style lines you draw around political parties.

The goal is to make all of them recognize Abolish ICE is becoming an average American opinion not a Dem opinion.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

there is no universe in which ICE should exist

there is no ICE "lite"

there is no ICE with better training that magically upholds human rights

people should be able to go where they want

our tax dollars should not be spent kidnapping & murdering people

this is not complicated or controversial

What actions is your office taking to put a stop to all immigration enforcement activity in MN? What steps is your office taking to ensure no more Minnesotans will be killed by immigration officers (either those simply in their presence or in their custody)?

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as β€œprotests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

Enterprise sized contracts are renegotiated regularly though, which cost is part of. The number of service disruptions and how long issues take to resolve is part of those negotiations. The smaller orgs don't have that but can also move more easily off the platform.

They'll also probably develop deep anxiety about releasing at all, making them increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of refactoring in the first place. They wont have the needed familiarity to quickly id fixes after a buggy release. Releases will feel risky and panicked.

Using a chatbot, a programmer will happily produce code that would have gotten them murdered by the people who have to maintain it later.

They'll happily take code just as bad, and not know the most basic things about how to maintain it. They'll feed it right back into the slop machine.
