This isn't going to make uncompetitive us steel competitive, it's just going to cause less consumption of steel and less construction at a time the US wants to build more factories and houses.

Now's probably a good time to buy alternative metal stocks.

Have you considered medical school? It sounds like you have a natural predisposition to the field.

This looks great.

Lord knows I have to make enough mermaid renderings of these UML diagrams.

Will be giving it a try

Kind of ridiculous to claim there are additional damages… you thought you were winning a boat for a couple hours, theres no additional damage.

It’s also not reasonable to make Tim’s give out over $27 billion worth of boats because someone fucked up an email send script.

But this is yet another reason why digital roll up and Tim’s can get fucked.

The prize evaluation method is stupid and gameable, the selling of our real time location data through the app should have resulted in jail time, and stuff like this just proves you should never use their apps.

Yeah there's definitely a big picture

I just can't take anything the current US admin says as serious, so when they say they'll walk away I would want to call that bluff.

Not happy with this at all

For all the US's rhetoric about trade deficits being bad, we need to say we don't want a trade deficit on digital services and we're using tariffs the same way they are.

We aren't unique in having a tax like this, and the US has no place saying it's unfair when it's not even only foreign companies paying. We're literally don't the opposite of a tarif today.

Plus the US government is subsidizing their tech companies especially in the AI space.

After Microsoft pulled the ICC email servers every government, including my own in Canada, needs to drop Microsoft and US vendors ASAP.

Servers being located in Canada does not protect them from their certificates being revoked.

It doesn’t matter how disruptive and expensive that is, if all of your government organizations and military communication channels and documents go down overnight due to an executive order you are 100% thoroughly fucked.

This needs to happen asap because there are at minimum 3.5 more years of an administration willing to weaponize executive orders and tech companies obediently following them.

That’s so fucking asinine

5 with a side of 4.

Monday.

Passwords are one I happily pay for someone else to worry about

That’s about my most valuable digital data

Maybe fastmcp is too new for Claude, it’s much less code and still one file

Is that why they like tailwind so much? Philosophically tailwind just seems unsustainable to me, css specifying the intent of an element seems nicer.

Mine too

I’ve been working on an app and it was fantastic for the basics, then I decided to refactor an API and Claude code would run for hours without really getting there.

Also a good warning: I just had to completely rewrite an mcp server I had Claude build because when I needed to update it, the whole server was one giant if/else statement and utterly unmaintainable.

 
 

So today I discovered that there's a cron job that holds non-reproducible state that died, and now our system is fucked.

The cron job doesn't live inside any source control. This morning it entered a terminal state, and because it overwrites its state there's no way to revert it.

I'm currently waiting for the database rollback and have rewritten it in a reproducible/idempotent way.

 

Heard this song on CBC radio today and immediately loved it. It’s lights a fire in my heart, so I thought I’d share it with all of you

 

CBC is releasing their Canada travel bucket list with Rick Mercer and Matt Galloway

 

I've never watched before, but having a good time so far!

Micheal Buble's opening speech was great

 

Original title: The Mark Carney era begins with prime minister and new cabinet sworn in today

I don't know if it violates rules that I modified the title from the article, I've seen a lot of questions about when Carney becomes PM and my goal with this post is to increase awareness there.

I'll be watching or listening on CBC today while working.

 

Not sure if this is on topic enough, but I am loving Charlie Angus right now. That Churchill quote is perfect.

Elbows up.

 

Rosetta Stone is also US owned.

I pay for a family plan and share it with a bunch of people. Several are government workers and use it in addition to traditional training, so it is actually an important subscription.

It’s one of my last US subscriptions.

I listen to the CBC daily, today’s Ottawa Morning has FairVote on and it’s been a good segment.

The guest (missed his name) is doing a great job explaining the issue and how proportional representation works.

The clips I think can be relistened to on the CBC Radio app or their podcasts, but I’m not sure how to find them

I’ve wanted for a while an app I can run locally that will pull News from a list of websites, then categorize them and compile a newspaper or front page type review

Does this exist?
