I have a deep and abiding love of Powershell but you are spot on. It is amazing until you run into one of these insane behaviors that somehow nobody ever fixed. (Some are actually fixed finally in 7.x - like issues with filenames with grave

The consequences of fucking it up are low, too. If they get caught, they just take the document down and deny it ever got posted. Claim whatever people can show is a fake. Since they control the levers of government, there's few with

> What's the chance of this being some 4D chess where the government has already edited the files, and then presented them as redacted so the "unredacted (but edited)" version looks more genuine? With how they have pushed

I tried to reproduce this - turns out the affected files weren't in the data sets recently released, but other files on the DOJ site (now taken down). I guess the big take-away is scrape everything ASAP when it comes out. I haven&#x27

Singapore is strange place - aside from being a city-state. You'll get sent to the gulags for being in possession of a joint, but prostitution is legal. I know a guy who once got in a bar fight there, and he immediately packed up and

Getting money out of politics is the hardest part. I am not sure how the US will find the political will short of getting burned badly enough for partisans to align on reform. How bad does it have to get?

That's a solution. Another would be to enshrine in law independent watchdog agencies whose goal is to win trophies for rooting out corruption, reducing waste, preventing or breaking up harmful monopolies, etc.

I would love a survey asking people about the half-truths the smug libertarian types like to tell about social security.

We are not dinosaurs, so have rather less skin in the game when it comes to accuracy.

My wife's university has a totally egregious contract which is exclusive to a food provider for cafeteria food and event catering. If you want to, say, have a student group sell cookies or whatever, the provider has to approve and you

I too read ravenously as a kid. Strangely, in the 90's we were never assigned full books in English classes, just short stories or chapters.

This was a plot playing out in the background of the film Rat Race. I seem to recall a scene where foreign businessmen were wagering on how long maids could dangle from curtain rods or something.

I'd read somewhere that there is a measurable increase in foreclosures and divorces correlated with the legalization of online sports betting.

I have an LG C3. The old jailbreak no longer works. I keep avoiding the upgrade to keep the possibility open. At some point they force upgrade your firmware.

Right. The author is non-technical and said so up front.

Exactly what I'm talking about. I'm sure there's other gremlins in there, but this one bites me the most often, and the hardest. The one failure mode is so fucking insidious where it zeros out your last 2 digits, but otherwi

Low code solutions like PowerApps I bang out stuff like this all the time. If your use case is limited enough, it makes lazy developers very productive.

I would make the case as well that software underwent demographic shift as the demand skyrocketed and the barriers to entering the profession with languages and tooling dropped. 80's/90's dev teams were more weird nerds with

I would add "predictable" to that as well. I fed Claude Pro a REST API spec and told it to spit out a Powershell module and well... So far that 27k lines of code largely checks out (minus the undocumented stuff I knew about). Get

I agree with it, but it's a wild world we live in when the best spreadsheet has default behaviors which will fuck your data pasted into it when you're not paying attention.

You may want to revisit all those historical texts, because we did not fail to enforce our laws, we chose to because it benefitted us. The people calling for reform do not seem to understand the literal costs of doing so.

If the argument hangs on one interpretation of a single word or turn of phrase, when there are multiple interpretations, it is not a strong argument.

They found some bullshit way of negating, "a well regulated militia". You are completely correct this will be the focus. Textualism when they want to uphold it, originalism when they do not.
