The AI jobs crisis is not coming—it's here right now. It just might not look like what many thought it would.

From Duolingo firing scores of writers and translators to the AI-first strategy that has helped justify thousands of federal workers to artists, illustrators, and freelancers seeing their incomes decline—the AI jobs crisis is here, now:

Prototyping with C# 14.0 extension and love the language feature! 🤩

I discovered a limitation with the latest preview https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/78472

Hope that this scenario will be supported otherwise I won't be able to use extension for one of my scenario. That would be such a shame!

Today I learned there is a vaccine for the cancer that killed my mom in development. In a stage 1 trial, it cured the cancer for people with Stage III and IV cancer. That made me tear up for what might have been.

Then I learned that legislators in some states are trying to ban RNA vaccines (which this possible cure is) and I really cried.

"trans people should be leaving the us" and go where? with what support? are you willing to actually help accomplish that goal in any fucking capacity whatsoever? or do you just want to exonerate yourself from feeling bad about what's happening?

how come you haven't responded yet? ​​

Q: Why does an electronics engineer's web server only listen for connections at 80 and 443?

A: To keep it simple as a two-port network.

PSA that you ought to use difftastic for your diffs:
https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/

It's an easy install and the resulting output is honestly great.

(You can still get the old diff output when necessary by running e.g. `jj diff --git` or `git diff --no-ext-diff`.)

Also here's how to configure it with jj such that it properly diffs across file renames:

Yes, it's a stage 1 study, yes it's a specific kind of cancer, yes it's only nine people. But those nine people went from late-stage or metastatic "you are already dead" cancer to having no signs of it and showing immunity to recurrence.

I did not believe I'd live to see this. There's a cure for cancer. There's an honest to god cure for cancer.

#Pachli Current is rolling out the new media description UI for feedback.

Since the last screenshot some of the padding has been tightened up and the colours toned down a little. The image size adjusts to the device size to leave enough room for writing the caption.

Also, some servers report the actual max number of characters you can put in the description. If it's available that's now used, instead of being fixed to 1,500.

Feedback (after you've tried it in Pachli Current) welcomed.
