I didn't know Nova like that but I definitely did respect them. Shit man

Gave my mum the packaging of something and asked her to go to the supermarket to get two packs of the same thing. She came back with a different brand version. At that moment, I realised the reason why I have a habit of being very specific in my communication. 🫣

After a long hiatus, I have enough time and headspace to start maintaining adr-viewer again. I spent some time this weekend merging contributor PRs, clearing out old stuff (Travis CI who?), and setting up automated releases. 1.4.0rc1 is now on PyPI and I'm looking forward to giving this project the attention it deserves again. #python https://github.com/mrwilson/adr-viewer

Remember that tinkering requires time and space (both literal and figurative) that a lot of people are not afforded.

Datasette Cloud is the new SaaS hosting platform for the Datasette open source project. It enables teams to create a private collaboration space, upload and share data securely with each other, and then selectively publish that data to the world.

Rude!! I walked past my air purifier which was on a low setting, and it automatically turned to high. I've just showered.

genuinely fascinated by the wework collapse because they genuinely could have dominated the covid hybrid working trend by simply offering to businesses that they could have an office for that one day a week lease and they just... didn't. and kept trying to sell individuals a hot desk. literally everyone who has the money is spectacularly bad at reading the room on post 2020 working preferences

Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain. Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second : Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990. This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

It’s funny how tech billionaires used to be liberal and woke then they got bored with the act and took their masks off.

This meeting could have been a nap

In typical fashion, today I got a shoutout in a company meeting from tech leadership for fixing a critical issue two weeks ago...just as it resurfaced 😅 The universe is mocking me 😂

Idk why everyone is talking about gender segregation in chess today (and I don't care, so don't answer), but it's interesting to see the discussion veering accidentally close to the real question, which is "why is any competition gender segregated?" Is it 1) because men are obviously superior to women so it would be unfair to women to make them compete with men? Or maybe it's 2) the patriarchy dictates that a man must never have to lose to a woman. It's a mystery.

As previously mentioned, I quit my job. So now I'm no longer working for The Man. Instead, I am working for a man. Specifically: me1. I've launched Open Ideas Ltd. It's a bespoke computing consultancy …
