  • Judge Refuses to Immediately Reinstate Inspectors General Fired by Trump

    Jump

  • It has nothing to do with the jusldge's feelings.whats the point in issuing a Temporary Restraining Order 21 days after the fact when it is moot 30 days after? A TRO on day 1 would have made sense. A TRO on day 21 does nothing but add to the chaos. They are still going forward with other legal arguments but the TRO served no purpose at this point.

  • The judge needs a motion in front of them to consider. Waiting 21 days to ask for a temporary restraining order in an action that would take effect after 30 days shows a lack of urgency on the part of the plaintiffs and the burden was on the plaintiffs to show urgency in the case.

    This is like a little kid watching their brother eat their candy for five minutes, then complaining to their parents when the candy is almost gone.

    Don't get me wrong, Trump's actions here were illegal, but the plaintiffs needed to bring their motion for a TRO fast enough that it wasn't nearly moot by the time they did.

  • I think the point is, the plaintiffs are telling the judge "this is of the utmost urgency" 21 days after the fact. The judge feels that, if the plaintiffs really felt that it was that urgent they should have acted with urgency themselves. So the judge is giving their request the same level of urgency that they did themselves.

    If they had made a similar motion the day after the firing took place, their motion might have been granted, but this seems like a case of "too little too late".

  • Do you want the entire article in the headline or something? Go read the article and the journal article that it cites. They expand upon all of those terms.

    Also, I'm genuinely curious, what do you mean when you say that there is "No such thing AS "AI""?

  • The ability of AI to write things with lots of boilerplate like Kubernetes manifests is astounding. It gets me 90-95% of the way there and saves me about 50% of my development time. I still have to understand the result before deployment because I'm not going to blindly deploy something that AI wrote and it rarely works without modifications, but it definitely cuts my development time significantly.

  • 100% this. I generally use AI to help with edge cases in software or languages that I already know well or for situations where I really don't care to learn the material because I'm never going to touch it again. In my case, for python or golang, I'll use AI to get me started in the right direction on a problem, then go read the docs to develop my solution. For some weird ugly regex that I just need to fix and never touch again I just ask AI, test the answer it gices, then play with it until it works because I'm never going to remember how to properly use a negative look-behind in regex when I need it again in five years.

    I do think AI could be used to help the learning process, too, if used correctly. That said, it requires the student to be proactive in asking the AI questions about why something works or doesn't, then going to read additional information on the topic.

  • This man needs to go to prison for this. He is allowing unvetted people to gain access to sensitive information about former and current government employees. As a former federal employee whose information was leaked in the last OPM data breach, I am beyond irate about this. I will be contacting all of my representatives to make it ABSOLUTELY FUCKING CLEAR that this is unacceptable and needs to be stopped and result in incarceration for everyone involved including the security guard who was "just doing his job" by NOT DOING HIS MOTHER FUCKING JOB!

  • Trump handed first major loss as judge blocks his funding freeze

  • Thanks, yes. This is what I was trying to say but didn't quite manage to state correctly.

  • Trump handed first major loss as judge blocks his funding freeze

  • Trump's order never went into effect. The judge blocked his order before it could take effect.

    It's unlikely that it will ever take effect either as evidenced by the injunction. The judge wouldn't have issued an injunction if she didn't think there was:

    1. a substantial likelihood that the law would have significant negative impacts if it were to take effect and
    2. a strong likelihood that Trump's order would be permanently blocked upon further review.

    She.

    Also, yes, she blocked it for a week. She blocked it immediately because it has a significant chance of causing harm if it were to take effect immediately. This gives her time to consider the issue and give a real ruling. The fact that she blocked the order from going into effect so quickly indicates that she thinks that she is likely to block the order altogether.

    You're right, it's not a "major loss" for Trump yet, but it is shaping up to be one. I expect she will block this, it will get appealed to the DC Court of Appeals who will affirm, then SCOTUS will decline to hear the subsequent appeal.

  • By Code do you mean VSCode? I use it all the time with VIM key bindings. It offers so much more than VIM with less finicky configuration. It's the first IDE I've ever actually liked. Before now it was VIM or nothing.

  • At one point I had a plugin for MS Word that added vim key bindings because I kept leaving stray vim commands while editing other people's documents.
