Rec Modern recreation software to power awesome parks and programs in every community.

hey worcester-area folks: if your middle-schooler needs something to do this spring then check out the new ultimate frisbee learning league BUDA is kicking off this year! I'll be coaching, which is either a positive or a negative depending on how well you know me.

ο»Ώο»ΏWalking around a seasonally wet trail makes the trail extra extra wide, and disrupts (AKA 'kills') the vegetation on either side. The compression of soil from boots compacts the soil and eliminates the required air in the soil that lets roots find water and nutrients.

Ultimate is a fast-moving, non-contact team sport played with a flying disc that emphasizes teamwork, communication, and fair play. Players will learn game fundamentals through fun, high-energy activities and small-sided games. Focus is on participation and enjoyment rather than intense competition.

Amazon holds engineering meeting following AI-related outages

Amazon's ecommerce business has summoned a large group of engineers to a meeting on Tuesday for a "deep dive" into a spate of outages, including incidents tied to the use of AI coding tools.

The online retail giant said there had been a "trend of incidents" in recent months, characterised by a "high blast radius" and "Gen-AI assisted changes" among other factors, according to a briefing note for the meeting seen by the FT.

Under "contributing factors" the note included "novel GenAI usage for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established".

I was telling someone about the protests in New Jersey trying to stop the creation of a detention center.

But I paused because for a moment I couldn’t remember if it was a detention or data center.

So there’s that

I love Econ-positng. Dan Habsmith of Guttermeyer Associates posts the most confusing chart you've ever seen and says "Quite surprising VARG numbers, SPLG index showing movement" and you get the context by one of his mutuals quoting it with "Buy a fucking gun and head for the hills. Right now."

View transitions, anchor positioning, ​@scope, focusgroup, invokers, popovers, container queries, grid, relative colors, style-able selects, and more.

The web feels like it’s getting so good at exactly the moment our collective worst practices are getting calcified as the default.

Police officers are generally the highest paid local employees. If they are so out of control that we need cameras watching them 24/7 for our safety, then they should take pay cuts to fund them instead of demanding more money that could be spent on services that actually benefit communities.

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future
