Unbelievable damage in two months' time. It's likely that there are few engineers not looking for a way out. If you ever wanted to hire AI-native engineers from Meta who feel thrown aside, not valued, and under-utilized: now is the time

"Cursor, use git-blame to find out who last touched this code, then create a PR insulting their mom."

You may not like it but this is `XStream` programming* (* This is a joke).

And the path to reform isn't short. Three and a half years ago, myself and the team at @Greatercanberra set out to reform the ACT's residential zoning rules via @MissingMidCBR . Those new rules passed friday. Getting there involed a lot of work. act.gov.au/our-canberra/late…

It’s not just about banning cars on “pedestrian streets” — it’s about filling the space usually surrendered to cars with people-places FULL of things that attract people & make them want to stay. Vancouver hasn’t been great at such transformations. The World Cup NEEDS to be a turning point.

❗️curl is going to stop accepting and handling security vulnerability reports, for a month. The HackerOne form and the security email both go dark July 1, reopening August 3. Maintainers cite roughly four months of relentless report pressure. Paid support contracts stay exempt. They're calling it the "summer of bliss."

just never forget that the devs who yap about AI being the best thing ever all day never really knew how to program well to begin with. They are idiots telling you that the world is solved (charitable read) or worse, they are selling you something and are attempt to deceive you. This is why we see the same cycle every time. Opus 4 = God's gift to humanity to OMG its utter trash within a few months. The same thing happens with every model release because these people don't even know what dev is. They are larpers. I believe this is what Geohotz meant when he: "I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history."

Love what the Australian soccer team says about modern Australia. Seriously, watch this video, and you'll be cheering for them too.

I don’t have strong feelings about shark culls, but it’s astounding the way some deaths/injuries immediately demand ‘something must be done’ in the Aus psyche, whilst the biggest scourge of all is just written off as inevitable nine.com.au/australia-news/n…

Sydney airspace will be a little more complicated from 9th July 2026

'DR.STONE' Manga Artist Boichi shared his thoughts on readers who say they cannot afford manga, discussing the financial struggles of both fans and creators while highlighting issues of access and pricing "Most Japanese readers do not have much money either. Most Japanese mangaka do not have much money. Most aspiring manga artists do not have much money." "Many readers carefully save a small allowance to buy a single tankōbon volume." "They do it because they want to support creators. They do it because they want manga to continue existing. They do it because if nobody pays, manga cannot continue to be made." "Manga did not become successful because Japan was rich. Manga grew during the 1950s, when Japan was still a very poor country." "It grew because people chose to buy manga. Because they valued it. Because they believed it was worth supporting." "Of course, there are exceptions. There are always exceptions. Some people genuinely face circumstances far more difficult than most of us can imagine. I do not want to dismiss those realities." "I began my career as a poor mangaka in a country that was still poor. I care deeply about people who struggle financially. I am on their side." "Many creators sacrificed comforts in order to draw manga." "The real problem is not whether people have money to buy manga. The real problem is that many people have no practical way to buy it." "Officially licensed foreign editions are often far too expensive for readers around the world. I believe that is a genuine problem."

AN ACTUAL GOOD THING TO COME FROM AI In today’s newsletter, I wrote about our new chat with @aidenjohnsonn_ and how stories like his are far more white-pilling than the typical “one day this might cure cancer” form of AI boosterism.
