I will no longer be able to effectively maintain open source packages. I am looking for new maintainers for the following packages:

- https://github.com/notgull/unsend
- https://github.com/notgull/async-dns
- https://github.com/notgull/win-syscolor
- https://codeberg.org/notgull/smol-axum
- https://codeberg.org/notgull/smol-hyper

I would prefer people who already have a track record in maintaining crates, but please reach out to me if you'd like to take these. Either here or at my email (see my website) will work.

“A chatbot did not kill those children. People failed to update a database, and other people built a system fast enough to make that failure lethal.”

Maven, the program Google was forced to pull out of and Palantir took over, was the system that identified the girls’ school as a target.

Props to Vermont for coming up with an April Fool that doesn't leave me wanting to punch a wall. @jessamyn

'Hundreds of visitors at Killington Resort returned to their vehicles Wednesday to find what appeared to be orange parking citations tucked under their wipers...

The flip side told a different story.

“Happy April Fools,” the paper read.

The authentic-looking parking ticket served as a wrapper for a Hershey’s chocolate bar.'

> There is much made by people who long for the days of their fourth form debating society about the fallacy of "argumentum ad hominem". There is, as I have mentioned in the past, no fancy Latin term for the fallacy of "giving known liars the benefit of the doubt", but it is in my view a much greater source of avoidable error in the world. Audit is meant to protect us from this, which is why audit is so important.

Marco Rubio on Monday: “Imagine an Iran that, instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran.”

Donald Trump on Wednesday: “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things… We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country.”

Irony is dead.

• Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile
• people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend
• now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source

What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???

Interestingly I worked on codebases which were bad, so bad that I still tell stories about them, but none were as bad as that. I couldn't understand why FOSS developers would be so eager to become dependent on an expensive closed-source tool, but still doing so given what we know now about that codebase is irresponsible.
