  • I’ve been enjoying Copilot quite a bit while developing, particularly for languages that I’m not familiar with. I’m not worried about it replacing me, because I very clearly use my experience and knowledge to guide it and to coax answers out of it. But when you tell it exactly what you want, it’s really nice to get answers back in the development language without needing to look up syntax.

    “Give me some nice warning message css” was an easy, useful one.

    It’s effectively a better Google search.


  • The bigger battle is the war of the law firms. The big law firms, clearly, handle a lot of government cases. Many of which require security clearance. If you cross the orange man, the White House has full discretion over who has security clearances and who doesn’t.

    About a dozen law firms have bent the knee. Orange Hitler is planning to require them to provide pro-bono representation for police, after he grants the police new powers.

    Because that’s what we needed in this country, police with less accountability.











  • I absolutely do. It’s not that the password was wrong. It’s that they wanted to invalidate all existing passwords and make you change it.

    The easiest way to do that is for them to force everyone through the “forgot password” workflow. Zero or minimal code changes. They don’t want to make a new, but very similar , “we had a security breach and are requiring you to change your password” workflow. They just don’t care that they’re blaming you for their problem.






  • They absolutely, 1000% need Democrats to win. Maybe not their respective districts, but if they want to get anything done on a national level, they need about half the country on their side, and that includes Democrats.

    Now, they can certainly eat the party whole, the way the tea party and MAGA ate the GOP. That involves being more specific than “Democrats bad”. In fact, how did they do it? Did you ever see them telling people to abandon the Republican party?
