There have been over 100,000 children separated from their parents in the United States due to immigration enforcement since 2025.

The feature story in the linked article is about a now 2 year old whose parents were not there for them beginning to walk or talk.

Maybe a clientside hint that gets rotated in some circumstances with options to toggle it off would be appropriate. That should be fine as long as you don't care about someone being able to control their exit IP reliably.

take a look at this though, in the interest of examining past US actions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War#Ira...

The other day, I wrote a claude skill to pull logs for failing tests on a PR from CI as a CSV for feeding back into claude for troubleshooting. It helped with some debugging but was very fraught and needed human guidance to avoid going in strange directions. I could see this "fix the tests" workflow instrumented as overnight churn loops that are forbidden from modifying test files that run and have engineers review in the morning if more tests pass.

Maybe agentic TDD is the future. I have a bit of a nightmare vision of SWEs becoming more like QA in the future, but with much more automation. More engineering positions may become adversarial QA for LLM output. Figure out how to break LLM output before it goes to prod. Prove the vibe coded apps don't scale.

In the exercise I described above, I was just prompt churning between meetings (having claude record its work and feeding it to the next prompt, pulling test logs in between attempts), without much time to analyze, while another engineer on my team was analyzing and actually manually troubleshooting the vibe coded junk I was pushing up, but we fixed over 100 failing integration tests in a week for a major refactor using claude plus some human(s) in the loop. I do believe it got things done faster than we would have finished without AI. I do think the quality is slightly lower than would have been if we'd had 4 weeks without meetings to build the thing, but the tests do now pass.

I was thinking it would be nice to have a final print edition for the book collection, Amazon seems to be under the impression that this newer version is coming out in April.

You still need to use your phone number to sign up, though.

NextCloud looks ok.

For some reason I thought it was open to the public, but France also maintains a full sovereign cloud office suite for use by civil servants: https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/en

Maybe one day they'll open it up publicly.

Depends on when that goes into effect and how thoroughly it's actually implemented.

A relative in their 60s saw headlines about the cancellation and wasn’t able to find it until I sent them the archive.org link. They are relatively well informed and competent with technology but never go around digging for hard to find media.

I think people on HN tend to overestimate how closely people follow news and how hard they are willing to work to seek out alternative sources of information. I’m with some extended family over the holidays. They might have seen this segment had it aired - I believe it was airing after some football game - but now there’s no chance of that happening. I don’t judge them for it at all, but most of their news consumption is passive through TV or social media. I think a lot of people follow news that way. Life’s busy.

It kind of makes me understand a little better how the censorship regime in other countries is so effective despite it being so easy to hop on a VPN. Raising the barrier to entry even a little reduces the audience from 10,000,000 to a fraction of that, even with the censorship itself being public knowledge.
