Iran War Live Updates: A Day After Predicting Peace, Trump Says U.S. Will Strike Iran Again
For weeks, the president has swung between predicting peace and threatening a return to full-scale war, leaving it unclear when or how the fight with Iran might end. ⌘ Read more

Heads up (literally): There’s going to be a solar eclipse in August: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2026 Mostly partial, unless you happen to live in Greenland/Iceland/Spain.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

And maybe slow down a tad once you’re back.

Not sure if that’s possible in this company. 🤔 (This is the worst time to look for a new job, though. Alles im Umbruch.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That is really cool! Maybe it would look nicer if the selected entry highlighted the whole row, not just the individual cells in that row without the column spacers. :-? But maybe I’m wrong. Everyone has their own taste.

And no, it’s not pointless at all. I find this really interesting. The videos and photos are perfect for me. Even if I had the source code, I would not use that toolkit, as I’m not a fan of movable windows in TUIs. I want all my own programs to be fullscreen all the time. 8-) Having said that, it’s still an absolutely brilliant source of inspriation that will come in handy one day. So, keep posting. :-)

Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?
The large companies I’ve worked at (including FAANG) seemed to thrive on kudos via performative actions. Like the majority of the team is doing useless stuff that management thinks is impressive while the couple all stars get the team closer to the goal.

Meanwhile, a lot of managers calendars are purely just 1:1s with devs on the team which clearly has very little value add to the team.

Anyone else notice this? Not sure if there’s a word for it, but it’s somewhat demoral … ⌘ Read more
