💯 Premium products that have proved their value, are well worth paying for.

Publications of every ideological bent have always been free to investigate Cesar Chavez. It was the NY Times that spent 5 years digging up the story that would destroy the legacy of a liberal icon. The journalists who broke the story are the envy of their colleagues, who have been effusively praising them on social media. None of this is surprising to anyone who follows the work of publications like the Times that have been doing this sort of work, exposing bad actors of every political stripe, for more than a century.

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum Money quote: "Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior

@allafarce Once you get to Public Schools, it’ll be similarly eye-opening when all students are given Google Workspace accounts by default

Well I did not expect my preschool enrollment to include both a Force Majeure clause *and* a Plaid flow. I guess I'm well prepared for being a 21st Century parent after all.

Built to Modify As an engineer, I am always looking for ways to improve things. I need to put my mark on something and make it better than it was before. Open-source software is great for this, but it is a bit more complicated for a hardware engineer. Fortunately, there are companies like @FrameworkPuter designing open, modular hardware that provide the freedom to make it my own. This freedom is contagious and there is a growing ecosystem around their modular approach. The DockFrame being developed by @hwmedialabllc is a great example. DockFrame is a customizable USB Type-C dock built around the Framework modules allowing people to customize the features of the dock the same way they customize the ports on a Framework computer. It is great to watch the development process out in the open. HW Media Lab recently blogged about the survey they did for DockFrame and tradeoffs they are making to give the people what they want. It is nice that they candidly describe the challenges of different features and the need to balance advanced features with price expectations. I am definitely looking forward to this project making its way to @crowd_supply .

What happens when an unstoppable force (Claude Code's Memory usage) meets an immovable object (Ghostty's efficiency)? My terminal dies. Claude 1, Ghostty 0

Temporal is now Stage 4 at TC39 🎂🎂🎂 Thanks to all the other champions of JavaScript's new date-time API. It has been a wild ride over many years! I wrote a blog post explaining how we got here 📜 🧵

macOS already ships with age verification

Indeed! I'm not sure who else is on the team, but @_hamilton_matt and @sherlyholmes alone are two incredible people to build around. LA is a giant city, filled with news with dwindling amounts of outlets to cover it. We are very lucky to have LA Material help fill the void. If you haven't read Bad City by Paul Pringle, there's a great scene in it where Matt and Sarah Parvini are in a restaurant pretending to be on a date. But really they are there to eavesdrop on a very bad man. It's investigative reporting like I've never heard of before. And best of all: it worked.

It's incredibly rare when #cursed x #based drop in the same tweet.

New local media just dropped @busblog !

California grows the food you find around the perimeter of your grocery store. The Midwest grows what you find in the center aisles.

We asked 704 people what they want from a modular USB-C hub. They told us. Here's what we learned, and what we're building because of it. Interactive charts, real quotes, and our honest roadmap: hwlab.io/blog/704-respo… #DockFrame #OpenHardware #Framework #USBHub #opensource

What we launched in February: blog.exe.dev/feb26-update Relatively quiet month for us because most of what we built is coming out this month.

By the way, speaking of Shahed-136s. Back in 2022-2023, when Iran first supplied them to Russia and they were first used on a large scale against Ukraine, they were fairly simple loitering munitions -- a slow, buzzing two-stroke engine whining high in the sky like a moped, a

Chiny cierpliwie obserwują, jak Ameryka i jej walczący sojusznicy szybko zużywają uzbrojenie w konflikcie z Iranem, kalkulując, jak długo armia USA byłaby w stanie prowadzić wojnę, gdyby została odcięta od surowców niezbędnych do produkcji tej broni. Teza stawiana przez autorów

Happy to share that we've signed 5 contributor contracts for Ghostty totaling ~350 committed hours (~$21k) covering community management, graphics, Unicode compat, and GTK. This is a big milestone, Ghostty is paying contribs for the first time! ghostty.org/docs/sponsor

There is an HTTPS API for exe.dev now, and I am really happy with how it turned out. Instead of dozens of endpoints and a mountain of docs, you send the SSH lobby commands:

The 2003 Iraq War lasted close to 9 years.

McGovern: Republicans can't answer because they were against war with Iran until exactly the second Donald Trump decided to go to war, and now they're all running around sounding like neocon lunatics.  America can't take this level of gaslighting. I went to the classified
