As for the nation’s literature, Brandeis may have been the first .. to refer to the Constitution as a “living organism, capable of growth and adaptation.”“This approach allows the fresh context of the present to perform alchemy with the wisdom of the past, to offer new ways to make the law and faith relevant and responsive to present conditions,” he said. “Prophetic witness cannot set its gaze backward on a frozen history with an unrecognizable context. Instead, it faces forward, informed by the past, yet determined to bring back vision into the world in the present age.”
This no longer works, unfortunately.. how does the constitution change when it is effectively impossible to amend due to Constitutional Calcification .. only "interpret" through a ridiculously gerrymandered (thanks Mitch M) SCOTUS? infosec.exchange/@codinghorror…

@lkanies@hachyderm.io @timbray@cosocial.ca @carnage4life@mas.to "Scholars refer to this as 'constitutional calcification.' The U.S. has the hardest constitution to amend in the democratic world." but yeah, the other party. Explain this to me.Jeff Atwood (Infosec Exchange)

The cost of data center infrastructures powering AI and the people paying the price
The Environmental Reporting Collective (ERC) supports nearly 40 journalists working on how the energy and resource constraints in traditional tech hubs are forcing companies to look beyond the U.S. and China, pushing into countries with weaker environmental regulations and less public oversight:

Ubuntu and Fedora devs comment on California's new Digital Age Assurance Act
With California's new age checking law coming into action in January 2027, there's a lot of discussion on how Linux distributions will be handling it.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Containers and VMs get created and destroyed every second and it makes no sense to have to configure each and every one of them for age requirements.
And that's just one use case I can think up, I'm sure there's others like dev environments, toolboxes etc.

i've been trying to optimise some code for two hours now, entirely unsuccessfully. the naïve version generates a massive pile of movs and jmps, and i assumed i could do better. no matter what i did, i could only make the code slower. the few times i managed to make one benchmark 10% faster, the others became 50% slower.
finally, i received some very wise advice from my wife. this has helped me put things into a new perspective
I avoided this book for a long time because I thought any huge tome about fire ants would just be one long pest control guide (and I’m not really interested in reading about that) it turns out the author is an unapologetic fan of fire ants. He legitimately *loves* them and writes about them with gleeful (sometimes slightly maniacal) enthusiasm. I’m happy to enthusiastically recommend this book.
