  • When these cities literally enact a policy of obstructing justice, their officials can and should be prosecuted.

    Federal laws you don’t like don’t just become optional because you say so, and entering a country illegally or overstaying a visa is a crime under federal law. This isn’t something unique to the US where the US government is literally Hitler; it’s a well established international norm.

    Miller’s reasons for supporting this are the wrong ones, but he says isn’t necessarily incorrect under federal law as it stands. Not to mention that supporting brazen violations of the law like this is part of the reason why Democrats have alienated ordinary voters and let the far right basically take over.

















  • As a former computer science and economics TA and lecturer all I have to say is please don’t be that guy.

    If your class uses Windows, use Windows, if it uses Linux use the exact same distribution as the instructor and for the love of whatever you believe in if you bring a Mac into my classroom and argue with me that it’s Unix so it’s close enough I will smash it over your head and fail you so you don’t hold up my class because you think you’re special.

    Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there’s abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.
