Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard. Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life. Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You. Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken. Watch the whole thing.

@listenntalk @HumanityChad ? Nothing required about this. This is purely for fun. An experience you won’t get in the city.

@HumanityChad Elsewhere people live in cities that children can walk or bike to their destinations. No motorized vehicles required.

This girl didn’t just get a new bike. She was given the gift of self reliance. Awesome Dad.

@dh405 @QStatusquo @okiepatriot_76 I know what it means. The percentage that are clean is so low that pedantry makes no difference.

@PointBlueTech @QStatusquo @okiepatriot_76 So you don't know what the word "only" means? Jesus, Jerry. That's.. grim.

This isn’t Los Angeles. This is N Virginia Ave in Oklahoma City. Local Resident Tyler Terril Filmed this and uploaded to Facebook as frustration grows due to lack of coverage on the matter. “Welcome to N Virginia ave Okc. Every day it grows bigger and the city has to come once a week to pick up the trash,needles and crack pipes. Open drug use all day long. nudity/prostitution all day long, constant fighting sometimes with sticks or machetes, people sleeping in the road or just sitting in the middle of the lane. Sometimes they are just pooping on the sidewalk. I don’t know why this isn’t being covered in the news. Even the murders barely get any coverage”

@dh405 @QStatusquo @okiepatriot_76 Actually yes. The overwhelming majority of people who live on the streets are drug addicted or mentally ill. Often both.

@QStatusquo @PointBlueTech @okiepatriot_76 Do you think that only drug addicts are homeless? FYI, I met the person about two weeks before he moved in. Over the past six years, my spare bedroom has been a free temporary home for seven different people battling various stages of homelessness. All but one are stable now.

@SMartinH1957 @okiepatriot_76 It’s recent. The crackdown is spotty. They cleaned up General Senter drive which had a large camp but let everyone move over to Virginia.

@okiepatriot_76 @PointBlueTech I can drive down there tomorrow and check it out. I’m surprised if it is recent, I thought the city had cracked down. When I’m out and about it sure feels like it.

This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take. No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare. The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral. Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year. Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes. Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment. The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.” America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be. Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities. Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis. It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.

@TylerTerri31068 @okiepatriot_76 Yea, the street they cleaned up was General Senter drive. I wonder why they didn’t clean up the whole area.

@PointBlueTech @okiepatriot_76 I filmed that on my way to work Friday morning I stopped when I turned into my work parking lot.

@ShaiMVP25 @okiepatriot_76 It was General Senter drive they cleaned up. Virginia is a mess.

@ShaiMVP25 @okiepatriot_76 I’ll be riding my bike by there later today and I’ll report back. It was cleared out for months and there are signs everywhere that prohibit camping.

@laogui If you’re a professional developer, just pay for the JetBrains ultimate subscription and move on to getting things done. If you only use it for git diffs, fine. Still worth it.

经过几天使用，我可以毫不夸张地说：Rebased 就是目前最强的 Git 图形化客户端。 用过 JetBrains 系列 IDE 的朋友都知道，它的 Git 功能体验非常好——尤其是 Diff 功能。但这几年 JetBrains 在 AI 编程领域一直原地踏步，导致很多人转投其他工具，可它的 Git 体验却始终让人念念不忘。 一位大神直接基于开源的 IntelliJ Community 版，把所有开发语言相关功能全部砍掉，只保留 Git 功能，再做了大量 UI 优化，打造出了这个史上最强 Git 客户端——Rebased。 对已经习惯 JetBrains 生态的人来说，用它几乎是零学习成本，打开就是熟悉的味道。 亮点功能特色： - 完全开源（Apache 2.0 协议），免费使用、可随意二次开发 - 顶级 Diff / Review 体验（JetBrains 标志性优势） - 完整的 JetBrains VCS 工具窗（Commit、Git Log 图表、Branches 面板） - 交互式 Rebase 编辑器 + 视觉化冲突解决器 - 内置全文搜索 - 内置终端（支持多 Tab） - 原生支持 Git Worktree - 与 IntelliJ 100% 一致的快捷键和操作流 唯一的缺点是内存占用比纯轻量 Git 工具稍大，但依然远低于 JetBrains 完整 IDE。 多 Tab 终端 + Git Worktree，再搭配 Claude Code，Amp 这些工具，它已经能替代现在一堆类似 Superset 的 “Agentic IDE” 的工具了。 github.com/DetachHead/reb… 感谢 @ayanamist 分享

@dhh Are you adding comments to identify “issues” that should be ignored? I have multiple models reviewing my code and it’s the only way to cut down repetitive false positives

Did GitHub's Copilot get a huge upgrade in the last few weeks? It now consistently finds real issues, and is genuinely helpful. Hit ratio went from 1/10 to 7/10. Impressive! (Just wish it would not re-raise concerns that have been given a 👎 once already).

@ShawForOK The current law is fine. This is not needed.

Two days ago, a bill was raised on the House floor which represented a very difficult vote for me and many of my colleagues. 36 of us (all Republicans) voted against SB 504, a bill to prohibit any minor under the age of 18 from being married in the state of Oklahoma. Although this bill was authored by a “Republican”, 6 Democrats were the only co-authors on the bill, and all the Democrat members celebrated the passage of the bill. Those of us who voted against the bill (the vast majority of the conservative contingent in the House) strongly support the protection of children from sexual predators. And I absolutely do not support children being married to adults with or without parental consent. Current law allows 16- or 17-year-olds to get married with parental consent. The disagreement for many of us on this bill was in the lack of consideration that the bill took for unique circumstances in which young people may find themselves. For instance, the bill would prevent an emancipated minor who has been deemed competent to act as an adult from being able to get married. In the case of teen pregnancy where two minor parents are involved, this law would strictly prohibit them from being able to get married and raise that child together, leaving the mother without the legal, spiritual, and emotional support that marriage can provide. One legislator had a constituent reach out with personal stories about how this bill would have negatively impacted his own children. He shared that his, “oldest daughter got married at 17 with [his] consent. She was leaving for college, and she did not turn 18 until 2 days after school started. By allowing her to get married in June and not waiting until her birthday in August the couple were able to obtain affordable married housing on campus. Today, they have been married 14 years and have two beautiful kids.” Similar situations arise in cases where young men are graduating high school and heading into the military prior to their 18th birthday. If killed in combat while unmarried, the mother of that service-member’s children would be denied military survivor benefits available to spouses. If the current exceptions in our laws were providing loopholes for illicit activity to occur, we should be looking to reform those exceptions to prevent, to the best of our ability, that illicit activity to continue. We should not be eliminating all exceptions altogether. Due to those nuances, and the many problems with this legislation, I voted against it. As always, I welcome any questions or feedback from my constituents and am grateful for your trust and support.

@AiWithSaira This is completely backwards. Treating it like a junior is the exact way to get great code fast. Ask it to do things. Don’t be too specific, let it find solutions. Talk things over.

Stop telling Claude, "do this." Stop telling Claude, "write code." Stop telling Claude, "fix this error." You're actually treating a senior AI like a junior intern. Here are 8 prompts you can copy and paste directly:

@martinvandriel @mattpocockuk Not sure what you’re doing but I have shown Claude visual examples and it’s done a marvelous job building them.

The more I replace plans with prototypes, the better the outputs Who'd have thought that low fidelity prototypes were better than walls of spec Oh yeah, the entire industry for 20 years Stop going against decades of knowledge because someone in SF shipped it as a 'mode'

@A_Pasevin @mattpocockuk Who said one shot?? The meaning is less spec and more validation through meaningful prototypes. One shotting not required

@mattpocockuk I don't agree with this particular generalization. Yes it feel magical to one shot a prototype at first, but it's a slippery slope if you want to keep iterating over months on a product. Unless you don't mean plans == specs, then I could somewhat agree (still partially).

@unclebobmartin This is over a year old. Nearly everything in it is now wrong. With current models, you don’t need detailed prompts. Just converse as if it is a junior developer.

This is hysterical. It’s not wrong. It just shows that driving an AI is a form of engineering that is not for the faint of heart.

@may935317 @wil_da_beast630 @instapundit Why? Until very recently, it was absolutely normal for a woman to have her first child before the age of 20. The prohibition is largely arbitrary.

@wil_da_beast630 @instapundit The attraction may be exhaustive, but the mating must be restrictive. We have culture for a reason

Per every study ever done, almost literally every man alive is attracted to sexually and physically mature XX humans between the very late teens and multiple years after menopause. This is not only natural - male attraction to women is how the species survives - but fairly universal across cultures; attempts to brand either end of this spectrum as bizarre come largely from female intra-sexual competition. Just sayin.'

@Bostonian7019 @wil_da_beast630 Because they are not children. They are sexually mature and until very recently it was absolutely normal to have a first child before 20.

@wil_da_beast630 Why would any decent man be sexually attracted to a teenage girl, who are still technically children? Any man, who is attracted to teenage girls, is nothing but a pervert.

@DavidBCollum How much of that do you think goes into his pocket each payday? After expenses, he will be lucky to make $75/hr

If my electrician charges $175 per hour, somebody is going to have to explain to me why you would spend four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to college.
