If you’ve been hard on yourself lately, here’s a quick reminder:

[Governor Larry Hogan @GovLarryHogan]

Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process. At this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders—regardless of party—must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law.

A 20-year-old Jewish man from Kermanshah, Iran, is set to be executed on Monday unless his family can convince a Muslim man’s family to forgive him.

I have obtained and reviewed a copy of Arvin Ghahremani’s ID card and his death warrant (Hokm-e E’dam); additionally, Iran Human Rights, an NGO focused on promoting human rights in Iran and documenting human rights abuses, has confirmed the details of the case independently.

A CNN reporter, a BBC reporter, and an Israeli commando are captured by Hamas in Gaza.

The leader of the terrorists told them that he would grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.

The CNN Reporter said, "Well, I’m an American, so I’d like one last hamburger with French fries.”

The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the burger and fries. The reporter ate it and said, “Now, I can die.”

The BBC Reporter said, "I’m a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what’s about to happen. Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.”

The Hamas leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and dictated some comments. The reporter then said, "Now I can die knowing I stayed true until the end.”

The Hamas leader turned to the Israeli commando and said, “And now, Mr. Israeli tough guy, what is your final wish?”

“Kick me in the butt,” said the soldier.

“What?" asked the leader, “Will you mock us in your last hour?”

“No, I’m not kidding. I want you to kick me in the butt,” insisted the Israeli.

So the terrorist leader shoved him into the open and kicked him in the behind.

The soldier went sprawling but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from under his flak jacket, and shot the leader dead.

In the resulting confusion, he jumped to his knapsack, pulled out his carbine, and sprayed the terrorists with gunfire.

In a flash, all terrorists were either dead or fleeing for their lives. As the soldier was untying the reporters, they asked him,

“Why didn’t you just shoot them in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you in the butt first?”

“What?” replied the Israeli, “And help you to report that I was the aggressor?"

I just watched the roughly 45-minute footage of October 7th at a private screening in NYC. Here are my immediate thoughts minutes after watching it. 🧵

@Kosherqueen_ So hashem pays you back for people who upcharge because they have a monopoly? Hope you're right

@taylorotwell IYTAI, View really is a kind of Response. Maybe View should extend Response

[Joe Zidell @JosephZidell]

@abigailotwell It sucks. Full stop. Another perspective is "look how far I've come since then". Use your past (which you could *not* control) as a measuring point. Now *you* decide how you look. Look at the delta and feel proud, because you should be

@MarcJSchmidt These benchmarks look fast! Am wondering how disk caching would handle a large TS application (hundreds of thousands of LOC) 🤔

it needs some work, but this diagnostic was neat to implement

@mattpocockuk This helps me understand it better than ever 💡

It’s easy to overlook issues in code reviews.

So, I use a high-level checklist:

DRY
Usable
Secure
Tested
Robust
Readable
Accessible
Performant
Configurable
Documented
Meets requirements

I automate every check I can. This list can’t be automated.

So, I run the code. 👍
