How We Automated Memory Leak Debugging from Hours to Minutes with AI

Memory leak debugging in Android follows a predictable pattern: LeakCanary detects the leak, an engineer spends 2–4 hours analyzing traces…

I bought a Honda CR-V instead of a Subaru Forester because the CR-V had back seats air vents. I liked more things about the Forrester, but that 1 tiny thing was important.

Lack of Android Auto is a much bigger deal. I will not be looking at brands that do not support it, unless an after market mod is possible to correct the omission.

Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?

Infotainment systems like Android Auto have made smart phone integration a big pro in car buying in recent years, but they seem to be disappearing.

Tech CEOs: Workers MUST be present in the office. The job simply can not be done remotely.

Also Tech CEOs: Most workers can be replaced by AI. Hosted remotely.

Whenever we read someone say, "We can't afford it" as a reason why we can't have universal healthcare, we should read that as, "I don't want black and brown-skinned people to have access to health care too."

The CEO of The Onion set the publication's goal for 2026 to have more subscribers than The Washington Post. At the rate the latter is going, that won't take long.

"For reasons we don't like or understand, our work has become increasingly important."

"Look, we're an independent company, we don't use AI to write headlines and make art, and we're one of roughly three publications who are up for the fight. Unlike other places, The Onion is quadrupling down on being a pain in the ass, politically. Are you?

It's been a big year for us at The Onion, but as media collapse accelerates, it is unfortunately going to be a fucking great year for us next year. So I sent an email to our members with our goal for 2026: More print subscribers than The Washington Post. This is, tragically and hilariously, feasible. Here's a note I sent to our members with how we spent our money last year, and how they can expect us to abuse it next year. We spent a lot of money taunting ICE and Jeffrey Epstein, we spent even more money yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE and Jeffrey Epstein, and we stupidly continue to try to buy InfoWars. In short: The Onion is an independent company, we don’t use AI to write headlines or make art, and we’re one of roughly three publications who are up for the fight. Unlike other places, The Onion is quadrupling down on being a pain in the ass, politically. Quadruple down with us. The world might make a tiny bit of sense. | 76 comments on LinkedIn

One day this social media exchange will be presented as evidence in a court room, and I cannot wait.
Imagine dying and "shot a guy in the face" doesn't make the list of top 10 worst things you did.
Let me get this straight: Trump found tens of billions of dollars to give to Argentina for a bailout during our government shutdown, but he couldn't find funding to keep SNAP program benefits going for 42 million hungry Americans past this Friday?
Vote like it matters.

If it didn't matter, they wouldn't work so hard to keep you from doing it.

It's been 42 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
