Look forward to the future. Superintelligence will invent better treatments for trans people. However there's not going to be any better treatments if trans becomes illegal due to the backlash caused by folks agitating for the use of t

MacOS security has been making the platform unfriendly to developers in a similar way that Windows has since Vista. Is Bazel using Landlock LSM yet for sandboxing? That's what I use with GNU Make and it's great. Nothing is faster.
