1970年代にNYCブロンクスで放火事件が相次いで多くの建物が放棄状態だった時期があったんだけど、住人が集まって勝手にアパートを修復してcooperativeを設立した。放火事件は火災保険詐欺だったし、手っ取り早く貧困エリアを更地にして開発に繋げる計画でもあって、NYCはもちろん開発派の肩を持って住人を追い出そうとした。カーター大統領がブロンクスに来た時そのco-opの人達と出会って話を聞いて、連邦が支援金を出してリハビリされた建物だけじゃなくその周りに公園をつくったりエリア改善に繋がるように援助した。

1980年度大統領選挙のキャンペーンで、レーガンも同じエリアに行ったんだけど、住民と口論になって上から目線で I’m trying to help you!!!と啖呵切ってるレーガンの映像を見たことある。映像を見ればそれは白人男性が、ブラックピープルにうっせえって言ってる場面だって一目瞭然。もちろんレーガンが当選して、その援助金はカットされた。

でも、今もそのco-opは残ってるし、複数のアパートをマネージしてるんだよ!ピープルパワー!やれば出来る!

Why do some people have a problem with trade deficits? I confess that I very much do not understand international relations and know very little about this topic. But to me, a trade deficit seems like a good thing?

If one country sells a billion dollars of goods to another country, we call that a trade deficit on one side and a trade surplus on the other. If instead, they both sell a billion dollars of goods to the other, there's no surplus/deficit because those numbers are the same. If I go to the grocery store and buy ten dollars of food, we just call that spending money to buy stuff. I don't expect to have ten dollars of stuff the store wants. In fact, a very useful property of money is that I don't need to care what the store wants, because money is like a universal trade wildcard. But no matter which way around it is, nobody is getting something for nothing. It's just a way of counting up the prices of all those purchases.

However, especially if the buyer is the US, dollars are basically made up — the US doesn't have to do anything to "earn" dollars, they're kinda just IOUs. Of course the US wants everyone to continue valuing & accepting US currency, but that's the only limit. If people in the US spend a billion dollars importing goods from other countries, the US as a whole has gained actual stuff which makes people happy, and has lost an imaginary accounting fiction which it can top up any time. This seems way more like getting something for nothing. Having a trade deficit means that people want
your IOUs specifically rather than demanding hard goods in exchange.

What am I missing here? What's the counter-perspective?

trying to compile a vendor kernel rn and I just spend 4 goddamn sodding hours trying to figure out why the kconfig script was asking for the CONFIG_GPIO_IMX_RPMSG setting two times (and thus making the NixOS generate-config.pl script crash), only to find out that it's because the vendor kernel *ERRONEOUSLY DEFINES THE OPTION TWO TIMES IN A ROW*

In the midst of all these confused pundits scrambling to understand *why* Trump has committed such a catastrophic unforced error, and why he has done it in such a bewilderingly incompetent (even for him) way, I feel like there is a real Occam's Razor answer here that I have not yet heard considered: he simply doesn't understand what the word "deficit" refers to in the financial jargon term "trade deficit", and everyone around him is literally too scared to explain it

Over the past year, we've been thinking about how we can improve the security of the Fediverse to provide a safer, more trustworthy experience for people of the Fediverse.

Today we're launching a time-and-funds limited Fediverse Security Fund, where we will pay researchers and contributors for the responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities in open-source Fediverse software.

We're starting small as an experiment to gauge interest, figure out our processes, and eventually decide if/how to expand this program and make it more permanent. If you're a security researcher or upstream contributor, join us in making the Fediverse a safer place.

You can read more about this program on our blog: nivenly.org/blog/2025/04/01/ni

계엄령 행사 후 '헌법 개정'을 하겠다며 '재선'을 넘어 '3선'이라고 적었습니다. 그러면서 중국과 러시아의 선거제도를 연구해야 한다고 썼습니다. 비상계엄의 종착점이 반대 세력을 없애 '장기 집권', 즉 '독재'에 있음을 숨기지 않은 겁니다. imnews.imbc.com/replay/2025/...

Claude code를 잘 써보려고 이렇게 저렇게 해보는 중.

코드는 잘 찍어내는데… 가끔씩 삑사리를 내서 끝도없는 삽질하느라 크레딧만 쳐묵쳐묵해서 쳐다보고 있다가 끊어줘야한다.

내가 없어도 이 정도 할 수 있으면(시간당 $5정도) 쓸만한데… 계속 쳐다보고 있을거면… 그냥 클로드 웹(월 $20)이나 깃헙 코파일럿(월 $10)보다 나을 게 없다.

사실 휴먼 개발자도 비슷하다. 해보고 안되면 “적절한” 시점에 도움을 청해야하는데… “적절한”게 어렵다. 제대로 해보지도 않고 도움을 청해도 안되고, 안되는 걸 끝까지 붙잡고 있어도 안된다.

이 녀석에게 “적절함”을 어떻게 가르쳐야하나…

I think I’ve found a relatively nice solution for in .

You can put web+ap URIs into a message (or room description) and ideally a click on those will open your Mastodon client. However if no installed app supports those (the only app that I’m aware of is Fedilab) Conversations will open a browser instead.

Currently no app will create web+ap links but it is fairly easy to handcraft them.

지금 Hackers' Pub에는 Fresh 2.0 알파를 쓰고 있는데, 여러 가지 아쉬운 점이 많지만 그 중 하나가 아일랜드 컴포넌트로 콘텍스트가 전달이 안 된다는 것. 현재 아일랜드 컴포넌트에는 로캘 같은 정보를 일일히 프랍(prop)으로 넘겨줘야 한다…

Guess who found two little padlocks (similar to some I already had, but still new to me) locked together in the gravel parking lot at the mechanic's?

This guy!

They're pretty full of dirt even after some scrubbing, but that'll just make opening them more interesting, right?

Encrypted chat apps (Signal, Whatsapp) are just terrible for having conversations and sharing photos you do not wish to lose.

I am trying to transfer Signal chats to a new device but it wants to do this with location and wifi, and it's failing completely. The two devices are sitting next to each other but they can't find each-other. I have a USB cable sitting right there and would use that but they don't give that option.

Whatsapp chats got recovered from a backup from... 4 days ago. Yay?
