Even if the legal turmoil that has surrounded Hunter Biden for years is wrapped up, the political battle will continue.

I wish it were "against all odds" but by my observations, the probabilities are a lot higher than I would like.

Goddammit. It's my moronic senator behind that. Figures. I'm not sure he reaches Tuberville or Inhofe levels of stupid, but he is a terrible person.

Ms Greene is apparently unaware that human beings have sex, and thus is astonished when she discovered the younger Biden engaging.

Maybe a little good news, or at least a good person doing what's right in Florida which seems a rarity in their governmental bodies.

Yeah, he's not even subtle about it.

Members of St. Marys five-person city commission, all of whom are members of an extreme Catholic religious sect, have threatened to pull the lease of the public library if they don't remove all LGBTQ+ and other "socially divisive" books from the shelves.

Yeah, it should have been a A level criticality -- functionally impossible to relay bad information, tri mode redundancy, shut down if it detects itself in error, etc.

I don't know if it's technical detail translating poorly into journalism, but from reading up on it, I don't believe it was just a sensor deploying at the wrong time. It was a sensor providing flight stability critical information with no tri-mode redundancy built in (sold secondarily as a "safety mechanism" reporting incorrectly, causing MCAS to react fatally.

I think that "sensor with no redundancy" is a pretty important fact.

If I understand right, this is a clarification (of sorts) to the standard of "true threat". Ken White covers a lot of first amendment speech issues and has a very good explanation here: https://popehat.substack.com/p/supreme-court-clarifies-true-threats

So. To the practitioner, or to the internet tough-talker, what does this mean? It means that the law of the land, at least 7-2, is that a threat is only outside the protection of the First Amendment if:

  • A reasonable person, familiar with the context, would interpret the threat as a sincere statement of intent to do harm, and
  • The speaker was reckless about whether the threat would be taken sincerely — that is, they “consciously disregarded a substantial risk” that it would be taken seriously.

I use GK for everything and usually only use CLI when there's something a little exotic. I like seeing it update in real time on another screen and I like the diff engine for quickly assessing changes and making sure everything I expected was altered and nothing I didn't. I know there are other tools but GitKraken is the fastest for me.

Also have found it a good tool for teaching other engineers (usually older) how Git works. We tried out Sourcetree but it was super clunky at the time.

If I had to find a tool between pure CLI and pure GUI I'd probably recommend Emacs Magit porcelain. Works quite well.

It was, in fact, hilarious.
