@viewmaster.bex: “Got my husband a thermal camera for Christmas and found out our cat's butthole is 94 degrees.” A thermal photo shows the back of a cat, its tail is 72.6 degrees and its butt is 94.3.

We all need more virtual machines. We keep building software to work around the fact that VM infrastructure is clunky. Let's have good VM infrastructure instead.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

WSL stands for Worcestershire Sauce for Linux,

I came back from Sync Conf and shocked how many people are building text editors and the struggles they had with yjs.

image of andrew cuomo at his nyc mayoral election watch party with disco elysium ui text overlay that reads: Suggestion [Challenging: Failure] - You thought you did everything right. You had the money, the power, and the fame. Where did it all go wrong? Why couldn't those sniveling little city dwellers see that you were meant to lead them?

UGLÙK (gesturing towards Shelob’s lair): Get from big spider
RAMSAY: from big spider. Fuck me. Canapé eggs from big spider. Fucking hell.

Two edited stills from the animated film "Porco Rosso" 1: A portly human with the head of a cow pours a drink for themself while standing beneath an umbrella on a beach. A phone, a radio, and 4 crudely made tools are scattered about. 2: the cow-person is gearing a long single-lense flight goggle and giving a thumbs up to camera from the open cockpit of a plane they are flying

better a cow than a fascist

A parody of John Waters' "Serial Mom", except it's "Serializable Mom". I'm holding scissors (to partition the network) and trying to channel my best homage to Kathleen Turner.

yeah, I tried Zed and it does it good and now everything else feels like warm wastewater

it’s extra jarring when the completion is like 15 lines long

At AWS, I led the team that built EC2's Nitro virtualization stack— C code deployed to 500K servers. Biggest lesson? Pre-production testing has limits. You must embrace safe production testing.

My new blog explains how Nitro did it, and how Junction brings this to any Kubernetes team.
