Today would be a good day for Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas's conflicts of interest, so that when Cannon's ruling today (that special counsel are unconstitutional) finally makes it to SCOTUS and they don't recuse themselves, their personal interest in the outcome is so blatant that even the most naive citizen will see their corruption for what it is.
Here's the thing: Trump *is* an authoritarian who wants to destroy democracy. This isn’t a smear, it’s a fact. That Trump got shot doesn’t change the necessity of him being defeated at the ballot box, nor does it absolve him of his past misdeeds.

"How in particular should *we* respond—those of us who did and do see Trump as an urgent threat to our liberal order and consider defeating him to be America’s most urgent political priority?"
To condemn the attack on Trump’s life - as, of course, every decent person should - requires being honest about his candidacy. Gabriel Schoenfeld on the truth about political violence: thebulwark.com/p/truth-about-p…

"Liberty Phone", 2014-ish specs in a $2000 phone, what the fuck. The processor costs $73 per piece. Can someone that (un)fortunately bought this thing confirm it's actually using Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6, or is it a marketing lie?
Additionally, this article from Madaidan's Insecurities blog still stands:

Something reminded me today of @chadaustin's argument that Go isn't a good language for application servers, laid out in this 2016 post: chadaustin.me/2016/04/two-kind… That post gives reasons why Haskell is better, while acknowledging its relatively poor usability. I wonder how Rust compares. I see people argue that Rust is better for special-purpose infrastructure servers than for application servers, because for the latter you want garbage collection, not Rust's ownership model.
I haven’t written Haskell or any serious product or business logic since then! I don’t personally enjoy Rust that much (to my surprise) but it has excellent compositional properties for large systems. And I think IMVU switched to C# on the backend to avoid dealing with GHC’s GC.
I do miss monads. No other mainstream language lets you restrict effects. Being able to say “you cannot do non-database IO inside of a transaction” was so good.
Accessibility is mainly a set of practices that allow practitioners to build their product in a way that does not introduce obvious barriers for users.
Have been listening to some of the episodes of this Computer Talk magazine from the 90's. oneswitch.org.uk/art.php?id=36…. I'm amazed at some of the stuff that these guys were getting up to, there is an article in one of the magazines which talks about using boot menus in DOS 6! I feel we've lost a bit of that technical prowess with the younger blind generation, maybe that's an overall decline?

Love this story about Finland getting rid of private education and just making all schools good - and accessible - instead. There’s a reason the same countries keep coming top of the education charts inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/fi…
Heli Litja, 45, was one of the first students in a reformed Finland. Here, she explains what the UK might look like if private schools were abolished altogether
This only works well as long as you can trust your current government and all future governments that might possibly get elected.
Poland's system is a bit like that, and there are a lot of good things to be said about it to be sure, but the conservative government we had for the last 8 or so years has definitely abused the control they had over schools.
They massively increased the amount of time spent on teaching history, in a "Poland good, Germany bad" way of course, sacrificing of other subjects, particularly STEM. They also limited social studies / citizen's education and removed parts of the curriculum that were not quite favorable to that government's worldview.
The new government seems to be undoing some of this damage, but that's only going to last for as long as they're in power.
But who's going to implement the protections and what's going. to stop the government from just removing them?
Such a system would work if the protections are enshrined in some kind of constitution or an American-style "you can't change this for 30 years without a supermajority" bill, but if that's impossible, you need some kind of objective reality (like private schools) that makes this more difficult to do than changing some law.
@miki Existence of private education doesn't solve that. It just lets the elite opt out of caring when shit goes bad. The real mitigation is organizing and public backlash, not a pressure relief valve for the upper class.
Today I learned: There's a significant difference in mental wellbeing between liberals and conservatives, in favor of conservatives. It's most visible among young liberal Americans in recent years (which shouldn't be a surprise to anybody paying attention), but it has probably existed forever and has been consistently demonstrated in many different countries and age groups.
In a recent essay for Social Science & Medicine–Mental Health, epidemiologist Catherine Gimbrone and coauthors identified a significant gap in depressive attitudes between liberal and conservative teens.
