I’ve seen multiple Facebook posts angry at LMPD about the displacements that are currently happening and far be it from me to defend cops but this stuff comes straight from the mayor’s office. there’s a primary next month btw

Okay Nix is a hair shirt of a Linux, but being able to keep everything about my desktop and laptop setup trivially in sync is killer

Surprised we didn't make the cut!

Backpacks, dogs, TikToks at full volume, the three horsemen of the public space apocalypse

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope

OH "Most programmers will go far, far, far out of their way with trigonometry and complex loops to avoid having to learn basic #linearalgebra things."

Wait they made an IRC nail polish www.mooncat.com/products/por...

update: they've reproduced the results of the last study, again > AI assistance reduces persistence and impairs independent performance ai-project-website.github.io/AI-assistanc...

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

I have spent the first 20 years of my working life being forced to _work around_ very senior employees and management who refuse to adopt meaningful and proven tools and techniques for making the work easier, or faster, or higher quality. But now _I'm_ the problem for refusing to use AI tools???

Anyone know how well gel nail polish sticks to metal? Got some engraved panels to backfill

Graphs like this are the software engineering equivalent of financial charts with a “Reagan elected” line

Imagine being a mission planner or scientist somewhere, and seeing a simulated image in crappy 3d running on your government issue laptop of a moment that's going to happen 6 weeks or more from now, then getting those images back and it actually freaking _worked_!

A couple more relics of that era: a signed copy of "Hidden Figures", a signed picture of astronaut Drew Feustel using hardware I worked on, and a few grams of mementos that have flown in space

I can tell I'm going to need to fire some rent-lowering gunshots once the social media cycle on that Space Industry Trans Skeet settles down

MECO happens 45 minutes before apogee

As a trans engineer who left the space industry in order to feel safe enough to transition: oof.

I tried nail extensions for the first time and now I'm too powerful

I wonder how many other cities have a commonly-understood verbed noun for someone hitting a building with their car that's just the name of a business that gets hit noteworthily often

Well, your girl just had her position eliminated without notice by a shareholder, so if you’ve got anything you want to throw my way while I figure out how not to get evicted.

The girlies getting into cyberdecks is a fun development

My boyfriend mispronounced "kouign-amann" at a bakery in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle and got straight-up "you aren't from around here are you"'ed by the woman working the counter

I'm trying nail extensions for the first time and 👀👀👀

have not been doing much driving

Today on the toilet I idly opened the Reddit app, and it gave me a notification that I was "in the top 10%" of Reddit years and I immediately uninstalled the app

I'm thinking about this today as the entire industry gargles the PR about "Project Glasswing" What would the return on investment have been if you'd devoted every hour of dev time spent on it, every dollar of hardware that wouldn't otherwise need to exist, to solving those issues with human minds?

as senior as i am, i do not have enough hubris to tell anyone i don't need the grunt work anymore. i don't think this effect goes away with experience.

My communities and the certain knowledge that no invincible system of oppression has ever been forged.

More oscilloscopes in this form factor, please

Exciting! `west patch clean` just does a `git checkout .` and `git clean -fxd` in every patched module, so it will delete changes beyond just its own patches

entire economy run by guys who would say, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"

Wild to have someone you follow an ocean away retweet your hometown. Good to see Louisville's still got it

It's amazing how much of the evil promulgated through the world today is from like a half dozen dudes approximate my age who were all running in the same silicon valley circles. And they all had friends, associates, exes, whatever, who warned us about them at the time. Almost 20 years ago.

So little of my, like, immediately personally noticable infrastructure is on AWS that I can to most of the day without really noticing, which is nice

That time I took a pic of a gathering of goldfinches and it looked like a Renaissance painting.

A trio of industrially themed mugs I did for a ceramics assignment. I just got two of these back from their second firing yesterday.

Looking forward to my head not being quite so tight

Lot of infighting about these bike lanes. I’ll just say that when Louisville shuts down the street for a bit (whether it be goats, chili, or schnitz walk) ppl come out in DROVES & manage to park just fine. What if…we had that all the time?? Shared, safe public spaces? Sounds fucking cool to me.

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

My doctor's MyChart has made "Sex Assigned at Birth" and "Sexual Orientation" fields mandatory and I don't like that

good thing we sold off the entire national helium reserve in 1996-2023.

this is the reason no "sanctuary" cities or states are doing anything with their laws: they are fake. they're cis PR. corporate pride. but giving the game away in court looks bad and they want to keep you from noticing for as long as possible because if you noticed you might think it was fucked up.
