In today's episode of "let's beat up on foreigners for no reason," The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) announced that tourists will no longer be able to take the test inside Japan - only residents. No indication of exactly what problem this new rule is trying to solve.

An agent now builds a 200.000 lines of code C compiler from scratch that can compile the Linux kernel. In two weeks. I think at this point it's hard to argue against the tremendous productivity gains that this technology has created for my industry.

Yes, the list of negotiating points is tougher than it would have been without the absolute outrage from folks like us. And sure, it is hard for establishment figures like Jeffries and Schumer to propose the sort of sweeping personnel changes that are in fact a precondition of changing these agencies.

But with a lawless Executive branch and a Congress that has abdicated meaningful oversight, much stronger measures have to be what Democrats bargain for. 5/5

The Democrats should be demanding resignations from Noem and Miller and down through the ranks of DHS, CBP and ICE before they even consider negotiating systemic reforms. 4/

@wakest For good or ill, ActivityPub objects are supposed to use HTTPS URIs. It's in the spec: "Publicly facing content SHOULD use HTTPS URIs."

The discovery document shows a few good ways to discover if an HTML page, like a page loaded in a browser, represents an ActivityPub object.

https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-html-discovery/

One of the reasons I'm working on ActivityPub API adoption is to make this use case easier. You can see an explanation here:

I just have to say, compared to 5 yrs ago when I first joined the Fediverse, there is so much creativity and expression on here now, it is a pleasure to watch this space bloom. All the ideas and innovation, the artistic interpretation, the science and education, and what’s my favorite part, people *helping* and *supporting* each other, especially in these challenging times.

You help redeem my faith in humankind.

Thank you all for being there.

Keep being you.

Keep sharing.

Even if nobody responds, someone out there appreciates what you post, even if they scroll past. (I need to remember my own words, here).

Thank you all, wherever you are.

I never realised (partly because of their name), but CD Japan cdjapan.co.jp is actually pretty good for physical books in Japanese .
Today I bought three Japanese paperbacks and it came to just over £16, and that's including delivery to the UK! The cheapest and slowest mode of delivery (air mail), but if you're not in a hurry...

Found a gem for YouTube (V3 extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/v3-get-old-youtube-layout/) — which brings the old interface (from the start of XXI century) back. It is more clean, if it is even possible to say "clean" about YouTube interface, and also it is faster as hell than the "modern" one.

On the my box (Thinkpad X220 with i7, 16 Gb of RAM) the usual YouTube lags as hell, even while I'm scrolling. The old interface — works almost instantly, lol.

Why did i forgot #mc ( #midnightcommander )? Such a great Tool if you have to deal with lots of unknown directory structures (aka ThirdParty archives) and need to move or mix and merge arbitrary filebases. Surely didnt used it since 10 Years but my fingers still know all the shortcuts and command keys. Crazy...
