This was not a word I was prepared to learn about today.

At least we can take solace in the fact this is totally unprecedented, a complete first for this country.

....oh wait.

A lot of people genuinely believe this is a first because they know nothing about the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2

I knew about those internment camps -- because they were widely recognized afterward as a stain on our national character, something never to be repeated.

And I knew about the hieleras[1] and about Guantanamo.

And about so many other instances in history, from so many governments.

But I hoped our arc would not be toward more people treated this way, more proudly. I hoped we would stop running so eagerly toward the poison.

Even before that we had practice with the Indian genocide during Jackson’s term…Trump respects Andrew Jackson a lot.

The double "its not X, its Y", back to back.

Is this true? Most of mine is in a text editor. In a previous role, it was in Excel. My partner spends her day in Power BI, etc etc. Are we outliers? What jobs are mostly in browsers instead of task-oriented specific other software tools?

Sales (CRMs are all in browser now), Marketing (entire stack, include some creative (Canva) is in browser now), Strategy is half in powerpoint/xls (creating content) and half in browser (researching info), HR (Workday, LinkedIn, etc.), product (Figma, Miro, Aha!, Linear), support (Asana/Jira) probably spend at least 50% of their working time in browser. Also the time people are at their desk but not working, is usually in browser (check news, stocks, blogs, personal email, etc.)

Just to add another anecdotal data point, ive absolutely observed Claude Code doing exactly this as well with git operations.

I've gotten the `git reset --hard` with Claude Code as well, just not immediately after (1)) explicitly pushing back against the idea or (2) it talking a bunch of shit about another agent's totally reasonable analysis.

I exclusively used sonnet when I used Claud Code and never ran into this, so maybe it's an Opus thing, or I just got lucky? Definitely has happened to me a few times with Codex (which is what I'm currently using).

While also a great book, there is very little overlap in content to Linkers and Loaders.

If you're genuinely surprised by this you haven't been paying attention.

Let's see how well it draws an SVG of a pelican on a bicycle

You of course know that "you of course know _____, right" is the preferred HN rebuttal format, right?

Neck and neck with "Got an example of X?"

They use a hash function.
