You couldn't make Blazing Saddles today. It's already 4PM and you haven't even started.

magic-the-clustering.vercel.app - feedback welcome! It feels pretty easy to get to ~65% by just guessing card types, and then hard to get any closer than that. I might play with giving feedback on which aspects (name, text, cost, etc.) are relatively close, or just make a mode like linxicon.com

Would love to hear more takes on this. I am, by default, wholly anti-analytics - but I have an intuition that that position is over-simplistic and inconsistent with my other beliefs. Would love to hear pro-analytics arguments that don't prioritize profit/corporations.

fixed your headline

Went here and everyone knew you

Unexpected, but in-hindsight extremely predictable, phenomenon - going onshore from my first cruise, to an excursion via helicopter to a glacier, has me remembering The Culture fondly.

ignore the historical lies in this and take it at face value, its literally a statement that the target audience prefers being poor and feudal to having female equality and a multiracial society

It's worth remembering that "how do we ascertain correctness and create robust software in light of a the process we use to generate code being flaky, non-deterministic, error-prone?" is, in fact, the foundational question at the heart of software engineering as a discipline.

When giving or receiving criticism, it's important to distinguish between these related but not-identical statements: * X is bad * X can be improved * The creator of X put no effort into creating it * There is no reason for X to exist * The creator of X is bad

congrats new york friends i was wrong and bodegas are a whole different kind of thing

Wait. It was a best-of-7 match, so "Knicks in 5" was equivalent to claiming "I think this team's going to lose one game"? Props for accuracy, but that's a weirdly humble and grounded brag-prediction, no?

the mindset shift that i have noticed most with polyamory so far is that it has alleviated any pressure i feel to categorize relationships based on what they could be or what they aren't because i no longer am seeking someone to meet every need, allowing me to better appreciate things as they are.

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

www.instagram.com/reel/DZflRBo... I love that it's very clear by convention that the "must start with Umm Actually" rule is dropped in Shiny Rounds, but Brennan - my ND rule-loving king - knows the exception has never been articulated and so follows the rule for himself, w/o being a dick to others

Nancy Reagan, you been down too long in the midnight sea 🎶

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

difficulty scheduling the follow-up session is also true to its inspirations

Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.

GNU Terry Pratchett. All the Little Angels...

factorio.com/galaxy/Calci... - after 228 hours, I "completed" Factorio: Space Age. Probably a _terrible_ time (I noticed too late a _bunch_ of optimizations I could have made - next post), but nonetheless, a proud achievement and I had a great time. A little rest, then back to SE? or Ultracube?

This headline is hilarious when you learn that the rocket toppled over in a fiery explosion on landing

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

An interesting thing about NASA is that they’ve never had to worry whether scrubbing a launch for safety reasons would impact their IPO

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

I miss programming by hand. My day-job is now project-leading something that acts like a know-it-all junior developer on cocaine. Worst part is, that if you look past the obvious security issues it's the most productive I've ever been.

Wake up, babe - new "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point" just dropped

I sometimes wonder why Musk doesn't just retire and live a life of luxury, but then I realised. He IS retired. And we're his model train set. The world is his greenhouse to potter with. The politics he fucks with are his Warhammer model kits.

Fun linguistic observation - a "screen" went from "something which obscures" to "something which displays" (presumably via "something onto which a projector can throw")

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years

guy who is mad at Nolan’s Odyssey because it depicts the sea as blue instead of wine-dark

there are 500 replies and they are basically all like this

a synthesis of AI opinions: people who choose whether to use it and choose how to use it like it a lot, and people who are compelled to use it or forced to use it for certain tasks resent the shit out of it

Worryingly accurate

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

You can tell that the files in this git repo are polyamorous because they're dirty and uncommitted.

Weirdly hard to find _just_ a bedsheet for sale - they're all sheet sets. I already have pillow cases, I don't need more!
