LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions LG licenses tech for interpreting TV users’ feelings and convictions.

Man, LG seem pretty intent on flushing their premium quality reputation down the toilet arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

A serious looking man saying “It’s an Executive Decision now”.

Except when it’s BGP, but that’s just DNS on crack.

… most importantly, none of it is weird. None of it is forced. Every consequence comes from a very clear action. Every new character arrives because of something else in the action.

It’s an incredibly tightly plotted film.

Leaving aside any talk about it being a Christmas film, the pacing of Die Hard is absolutely top tier.

Every time we’ve seen something happen once or twice, they pull in something new.

Having seen a million variations of its use, I’m fairly sure you can. Does this do what you’d want? https://maven.apache.org/maven-ci-friendly.html

Those two things don’t seem incompatible to me.

Every push can be a release version. Every snapshot can be a release version. Every commit can be a release version.

Not literally every snapshot must go to prod for you to be doing CI or CD.

I’m not following. How does Maven Release (a binary build at a point in time) work against CI?

On a whim, I started using TikTok last week.

The algorithm is now almost exclusively showing me videos of cats miming to System Of A Down.

I now fully understand why it’s so addictive.

For the last few years of Advent of Code, I’ve tightened skills in newer languages and attempted to create beautiful abstractions.

Not this year. I’m going quick and dirty.

My current low bar is realising I’d didn’t need to do bound checks if I just caught the exceptions and returned false.

Also, hello! Just realized that was my first BlueSky post. It sets the tone of what is to come.

Reviewing conference sessions again and I implore you to please, please write some detail in your submissions.

“I’ll go over the details of [TOPIC]” does not cut it. What details? Help me help you.

Also, no more talks on AI. So many this year.
