Did it hurt? When you fell off the wagon?
Screenshot from LOTR of Borimir saying "It is a gift". He is pointing at the text "LLMs" and his forehead is labeled "All of society".
We blew up a girls’ school. Congress was ignored. The most thanks he deserves is an impeachment.
Someone in the Venn diagram of ENM/poly and Ex-vangelical spaces needs to write a book entitled, "I Kissed Monogamy Goodbye".
A sci-fi fantasy like LOTR where the magical world is a simulation in the "real" world. Users and admins can VR in as wizards, Sauron, etc. The real world is invested in the outcome of the simulated one, so events in each affect events in the other.
Surely someone has attempted something like that.
The tariffs are to pay for The Board of Peace, which is to pay for his retirement in a pseudo-sovereign state that he de facto controls. Am I crazy? It seems entirely plausible.
I can't overstate how much I hate "tooling", particularly in CI. Sure, each new tool adds some marginal value for someone. But the overall effect is suffocating. Constant CI breakage, constant change in PR requirements, and ever-increasing wait times.
Have a very high bar for new tooling!
What if we all just used AI to attend meetings for us? I think I'd be okay with that.
What gives? Now Maximum Fun has TWO great D&D play podcasts? How am I expected to listen to all this great content?! (Eww I hate calling it "content"; it's better than that.)
Been wanting to try parallel Jobs in k8s for awhile. Finally have an excuse!
Sitting in the living room late at night having conversations with my son about Arch Linux. Fun times.

Walking out my door today like The White Witch.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
The average Klingon brain contains enough for two.
It’s probably the gummy, but a good conspiracy theory is that The Board of Peace is (I assume) going to de-facto govern so-called “New Gaza”, meaning the whole thing could be about ensuring he has a safe place to retire to as “king” when needed.
And if not, it would make a good Jack Ryan season.
jQuery was pretty cool.

That about sums up the week.
Tooling is fine and all, but man, it adds complexity.
Code is liability. AI allows us to create tremendous amounts of liability very quickly
You think he'd be all over Bashir, given the eugenics thing. But I guess someone was already all over him...
Cool. Maybe another country could do the same with us.
When did car antennas disappear?
Great ep as always. You should review Sphere (and maybe Abyss?) in the off-season or BoCo!
Queen Latifah was the coms or ops officer, right? #BelieveBen
Are nar!
Here's a tragedy of DOGE that most people will never know about, even though it has big consequences: no one is left to coordinate the transition to memory safe systems code. 🧵
