Whenever I read something about Paris, some arrondissement is inevitably mentioned and I inevitably forget what's where. New plan: just remember: 4, 7, 12, 15 For where the spiral jumps the Seine. Not as catchy as my RJ-45 wiring mnemonic but 🤷‍♂️

Ever since I saw somebody else do this on the interwebs, I've been meaning to try this and today I got my chance: Show up early to a meeting and scream to yourself while the AI bot records it, and then go quiet once others join... it works!

Me, looking out the corner of my eye waiting to get some vaccines: "Why does the pharmacy have GitHub written up on the wall?!!" "Oh."

"The median age of MTV viewers is 56, according to Nielsen."

Hardware store: "we are the fastenerds" 💯

Nanny reported a conversation from the park when 2yo daughter saw a sign. 2yo: pointing, "What dis say?" Nanny: "that says there is going to be a community meeting" 2yo: "papa going?" (Apparently she associates the word "meeting" with me 😅)

2yo daughter wanted her play apron untied so came up to me and said: "Papa, take OFF this. Mama take ON this." (Translation: "mama put this on. Now I want it off.")

Kid slips and falls on his face. @radkat.fitzpat.com examines: “ouch. You’re probably going to have a black eye tomorrow.” Other kid: “does that mean he’ll be color blind?!?”

The five of us are sitting around the table. Four of us are playing Catan. The baby is on her iPad playing ABC games. @radkat.fitzpat.com: "Who's farting??!" 2yo without looking up from the iPad: "No, POOPING!" Sure enough.

Achievement unlocked: first speeding ticket in Canada! (right where the highway ends for the border crossing and the speed limit plummets faster than I decelerated 😅) Now I get to look at this majestic peace arch for 35 minutes to remind me how brethren friendly we are. 😘

Riding a gondola with the family and it stops moving... 2yo: "no inty-net!"

Hotel captive portal hilarity: * input type=password for my last name. 🙄 * "Guest not found" Front desk dude, very apologetic: * yeah, uh, it has to be only the first 8 letters of your last name * Oh, and also all lowercase Of course. I'd expect nothing less.

Our waiter's name, especially in the all caps on his badge, sounds like a great hacker username: SUBHASH

Amalga Distillery in Juneau. I sat next to one of the owners on a recent flight back from London and said I'd stop by. Mmm, gin.

After a day at sea en route to Juneau, still hours away, we start to see land. Kids: "THAT'S Alaska!? Aren't there supposed to be houses?"

Here's the code: github.com/tailscale/go... -- a Go module cache virtual filesystem (FUSE or WebDAV) with deduping

I was forced to learn this horror/trivia about how git sorts its tree objects (for gomodfs), so now you have to too: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4458... (link to a comment I just made there) Sorry.

It's a bit rich that AWS feels it can clearly communicate these things to LLMs when it's failed for twenty years to do so to customers.

We announced the new native Go FIPS 140-3 mode today! FIPS 140, like it or not, is often a requirement, and I was increasingly sad about large deployments replacing the Go crypto packages with non-memory safe cgo bindings. Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.

For CI reasons (speed), I wrote a FUSE filesystem to act like the $GOMODCACHE directory to make it look like all world's #golang modules are available locally on disk without having to download them. Then the FS downloads them if/as needed, storing them in git trees/blobs (no commits) for de-dup.

Did u know you can go into a restoration hardware and pretend to want to buy things and they give you drinks? Life altering

Some JetKVM hacking.... github.com/tailscale/ta... and www.reddit.com/r/jetkvm/com...

2yo is so irrationally tired that she wants to hug my arm and use it as a pillow to fall asleep but she wants me (the not arm part) to go away

Whether you’re concerned with public health or retribution for your political opinions, you should not be punished or criminalized for wearing a mask at a protest.

Airport restaurant proudly displaying this in eyesight from the bar where I just got asked whether I want to add guacamole... 🙄

One of my hobbies is finding high version QR codes (small dense dots) in the wild and looking up what needlessly useless long URLs they encode before any redirects. (Yes, my life is very exciting.) So far Legoland hotel's cafe reservation one is the worst. This one's in the top 5 probably...

The only way to browse the modern mobile web is to let ChatGPT summarize it for you down to text without a billion autoplay videos and pop-ups.

Arguing with the 2yo about how many snack packets she could have before bed and she countered: "no, TWO apples sauce!!" So apparently the saucification of the apples makes it a postpositive adjective. TIL.

ChatGPT o3 is my favorite way to consume news lately. I just ask it what I missed regarding some geopolitical shitstorm in the past day or so and it goes off for a minute browsing a few dozen web pages and comes back to me with a report with no click bait or ads or tired reddit commentary.

#TBT to shirts I made to wear with my firstborn ~8 years ago...

Working from London this week. New game with coworkers: I try to slip in British words in casual conversation. If I get called out, Brits get a point. If nobody notices, Brad gets a point.

The counters will open at 16:55 pm. 16:55, sure. That's nice. 16:55... pm? That's just silly. Oh and the current time is 4:52 pm, just to change time formats on you on the next line.

whoa, Amazon (shopping) added back order details to the emails they send you! It's like the old ol' days again! I guess they stopped being afraid of Google/Gmail slurping up all the order histories? Anybody have backstory on this reversal? Seems like in the past month?

ChatGPT did not disappoint.

Hah... ChatGPT o3 thinking: "I'll follow system rules by confirming the user's location even though I already know it."

Author. It. At. I've.

My Ioniq switched to Korean on me. Partially. Temporarily. And then when back to English. Lolwutwtf.

Kids were talking about "fell gum" and how gross "fell gum" was and I had no clue what they were talking about until I finally realized... Phlegm! I'm glad they love to read so much, though. 😂

Massive sail ship just hit the Brooklyn Bridge trying to go under it 😳

Finally set up an iOS Shortcut to open our garage & mostly close it (stops at 11.9s) when I'm charging a car outside in the driveway. And then I also put an NFC card taped to the glass so I have an Automation that I can tap my locked phone to the glass to open it when arriving by bike/scooter.

Kid's kindergarten class is hatching chicks. @radkat.fitzpat.com unilaterally signed me up to livestream them on web so kids don't miss out if they hatched at night. Two cameras, two Pis, two custom 3D printed cases, cloud MediaMTX + Go TLS/auth proxy later and ... Born 10:23pm. 🐣 Hello, world!
