@dcdeejay Congressional investigations don't require executive or judicial branch cooperation to run. Congress can investigate anything a majority there wants to.
@jalefkowit The investigations won't get very far without subpeonas that can be enforced.

Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. https://teendrama.substack.com/p/some-final-words-on-foursquare

Being tired is not a badge of honor. It just means you're tired.
She said she wanted poutine. Her wish is my command — I found poutine. Although I have to tell you, it’s not easy to find poutine in the city — only two places dropped on my radar. One — in Hells Kitchen one — in Boerum Hill.
We picked the second one. Boy, a poutine hub that was, Mile End Delicatessen on Hoyt Street. Classic poutine, Smoked meat poutine, Poulette poutine, Schnitzel poutine, General Tso’s poutine, Bubbie’s poutine with brisket. And the place itself — not too busy, not too fussy, very friendly.
A plate of Bubbie’s, and order of Montreal smoked meats, some chopped liver, known as pâté in highfalutin circles, and house pickles made our night before Delirium at The Space at Irondale.

I absolutely love this Wikipedia info box which seems to assume that the only barrier to reading cuneiform, a notoriously complex script that hasn't been used for nearly two millennia is … font support.

Replies seem to be split between "This shaver has been in my family for generations, my grandfather smuggled it out in his ass" and "I buy a new one every 6 weeks".
@jwz not .. beard ?
@lambdageek That is interesting. I could imagine it working.
@mcc Right I mean that's a reasonable way to structure a compiler. I just you know... wouldn't say "don't use lifetimes at all". If you know when the arena is active that's... what lifetimes are for...
maybe they don't know statically when the arena is active, though.

see what I mean, he went from "I am using LLMs to write better programs slowly"

Nicht jede Behinderung ist sichtbar. 💜
Heute, am 20. Oktober, ist der Internationale Tag der unsichtbaren Behinderungen.
Viele Menschen leben täglich mit Einschränkungen, chronischen Schmerzen oder Erkrankungen, die auf den ersten Blick nicht zu erkennen sind. Mangelnde Sichtbarkeit führt oft zu Missverständnissen und Vorurteilen im Alltag.

What are you excited about today?
@ben Might finally have found a weekly timeslot for running training with a friend. But to be honest, I didn't have a good day. Feeling quite down.
