Bought a State 4130 single speed, will want a front rack for it if anyone has any suggestions. Ideally chrome to match the bike (went with tropical red)

the discourse in the threads within this thread highlights the utility of having a Company handle your peppermint tea needs, because then the mint becomes Someone Else's Problem, I imagine a little dude with a machete frantically hacking back the mint and stuffing it into little bags and every […]

hmm, I just realized that I'm absolutely going to miss #Monsterdon this week in order to ride the Midnight Marathon y'all have fun, though!

I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

And that's a preliminary / RC1 maps release out to Patreon. Enjoy! #bikemap #greaternorthshore #megamap #maps #BikeTooter

took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that for my PyCon US travel, I could make the train trip my *departure* rather than my *arrival* (I've been planning to fly one leg of it since I decided I'm going)

Huh, Bruce Schneier is on The Tech Report *again* If they're going to have him on regularly… wow, big get!

my bluetooth audio woes continue, with a new symptomology, a subtle crackling on the audio line that is nevertheless very perceptible and RUINS the audio I think it's probably the same issue I was having before, but with a much smaller interruption-of-audio window it is 2006, I am debugging […]

somebody's Heine is crowding my icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast I never could do that which might hurt you so try and be cool

#babygoatcountdown is at 1 day! And no babies yet, just a lot of very round mamas. *looks at weather forecast. Sees snowstorm coming* OH yeah, they'll definitely wait until tomorrow.

took a panoramic from Castle Island to show someone how foggy it was in #boston this evening, I enjoy how apparent the distortion is with the rock wall for reference (it's convex outwards into the water IRL but is inverted here)

wow, STARDUST is a *thoroughly* enjoyable movie, and very sweet

Passing along a question from a friend who was recently fired and is on the job market again. I would prefer *not* to receive "I ran a web search for you" replies instead of direct knowledge, thanks. Boosts welcome. -- Are you familiar with any professional organizations catering to LGBTQ+ and […]

Well, my tenure at my current job ends at 9 AM tomorrow; I'm being laid off along with most of my company after an acquisition. I'm a Staff Software Engineer. I've been working with CDK/TypeScript, FastAPI/Python, Docker, etc. but have a fair bit of experience in Kotlin and C# and I pick things […]

they made a movie out of EXIT 8? jeez, there sure are a lot of psychological horror adaptations in this genre of late thinking of IRON LUNG and there's also going to be a backrooms movie coming out soon I guess the kids just love being spooked

RE: https://mastodon.social/@annaecook/116398465167508670 This argument is an abusive manipulation tactic. If you see it being made, the person making it is an abuser stoking fear to control others. Period. They probably *also* fancy themselves the overclass, but don't concern yourself with […]

thinkin about literacy rates again :blobfoxdeadinside:

I don't know, I think asking someone to implement shared_ptr in C++ in an interview is a bit mean. The good news: my implementation passed all their tests, and I'm not sure they were aware of the special handling required for sharing from this. I wouldn't ask that of someone else. Well, maybe I […]

well, that's a first: someone using an LLM to "explain" a changeset to me that *I* wrote

Realizing with a bit of a start that the #boston Marathon is exactly a week away, and more importantly, that means that the Midnight Marathon bike ride is this coming weekend! Last year I rode my Fuji, trying to decide if I'll do that again or perhaps if this year I'll take the Brompton. If I […]

If all you do in your tech career is: 1. When something is slow, you look carefully at the output of a profiler or a query plan & make measured suggestions about what to improve; 2. When something breaks badly, you gently but insistently ask what & why until you truly know, then the next time […]

Finding technology overgrown in the woods and deciding to wake it up again is like, my most beloved vibe

I got 8 solar panels today, gonna go back for the others tomorrow. The panels were in the woods. Just, like, big piles of them in the woods. Full of rain and leaves and twigs and creatures. I mean I guess it makes sense and I don't know what I expected, these machines are weatherproof […]

Hello from the dandelion meadows of Amsterdam I’d call them rolling meadows, but the meadows here do not roll at all. Odin however does roll.

does anybody see a phenomenon in Mastodon where a post is claimed to have 1 Boost immediately after having been posted? not sure if that would make sense as a Hachyderm-specific issue, or if it's a bug in general for instances where a post did not originate
