The biggest lesson from the Epstien files will be the same lesson learned after the great financial crisis in 2008. Nobody will be held accountable because the people in charge are not going to hold themselves accountable.
Trump isn't putting himself or any of his friends in jail.

Rust does seem to have a lot of nice features. My biggest blocker for me going to Rust from C++ is that C++ has much better support for generic programming. And now that Concepts have landed, I'm not aware of any language that can compete in this area.

People who are cynical are not geniuses, but instead probably not that bright.

I'm seeing a lot of people saying "C++ is not a safe language and CrowdStrike would have not happened if they used Rust".
Why doesn't anyone remember leftpad? Why did a simple Javascript library (Javascript being a safe language) cause so much havoc? Maybe it's the scalability of central software distribution that is the real risk and not pointers. Pointers are wonderful things and it's sad to me that modern programmers are afraid of them.

Alan Kay response to what he thinks about using LLMs to program and teach programming.
If you blink, you will miss the part about the "Spaceship Earth" problem.

Nomad Capitalist is a consultancy that helps rich people with offshore tax havens and investments.
They just published a video called "Where to Move to Escape World War III". This is not a joke video.

Just watched George Hotz's stream.
It's telling that Hotz never read Donella Meadows's work on Limits to Growth and considers leftists elites.
He said there is no science about how government works. Bullshit, there is tons. Go read some David Graeber (Dawn of Everything, Debt the first 5000 years, Bullshit Jobs). Actual science of how things work from anthropologists and archeologists.

#TechStory time! In my first tech role straight out of college, the company owner would buy giant cans of Folgers coffee from Costco. We hated it! So we would dump out the Folgers and put a better brand in the can.
One day he comes into the kitchen, brews himself a cup of coffee and says "This coffee is really good, I don't understand why everyone keeps complaining about it!". He obviously kept buying the Folgers.
Lesson is, don't be too clever. Not in code, or in life.

CW: Russia/Ukraine war and free speech in the US
While it is known to everyone that Russia has jailed people who are against the Russia/Ukraine war, it is less known that the U.S. has accused people of being foreign agents who are also against the war on the other side. We may see anti-war people in the US jailed soon. It's all fun and games until it happens here too. See the Uhuru movement.

This is your brain on #code. Fascinating article about a study of how our brain works when looking at code.
The findings seem to show the mathematical/logical part of our brain is activated more than language. Also different things like loops and branches are encoded differently.
Seems programmers can't escape mathematical thinking!
