Daughter: Can I keep the night light on? Me: and provide the monsters with a beacon to your precise location? Use your head, sweetie.

For fun I recently pimped out a ruby script that I had written for some testing with a little color and a spinner. If you have never used ANSI escape codes before I've put together a simple script that shows how easy it is. First let me say that if you are using ruby and

As Threads rolls out support for ActivityPub, Meta’s approach is to require each Threads user to manually enable fediverse integration. This was demoed yesterday at FediForum. It’s a perfectly …

@manton But imagine the outrage if they automatically opted everyone in? 😬

There's been a thread about dependencies lately and the challenge of convincing developers to look at the full dependency chain. I once maintained a C++ binary that included a PostScript interpreter, a JPEG decoder, a JavaScript interpreter, and a number of other utterly irrelevant pieces causing a huge factor increase in the size of the binary. The culprit: A single logging statement that invoked a general-purpose printer that could print web stuff. Switching to sprintf fixed it.

Thought for the day: Billionaires are a symptom of poverty. (Paraphrasing Iain Banks on money, but more specific to our times because we still need some way to allocate scarce resources, just: not like that.)

"Billionaires are a symptom of poverty." Every once in a while I'm reminded that my "wasting time" on this site is not wasting time, because it's how I can incredible ideas or articulations like this.

Seems to be massive disconnect between the #AI hype pushed in the #KubeCon key notes vs. what the audience actually cares about. I don’t think I ever heard this many people complaining about them in the past.

I love RSS, but one thing I don't like is that readers typically homogenize the appearance of posts from different sources, which is fine that's how aggregators work. But I miss seeing the flair of individual websites so I often find myself clicking thru entries to see their site designs. I kind of want a stylesheet element in the RSS feeds and feed readers could have a toggle where you can view each feed's entries with their custom styles. I understand how that could break things though.

I’m a strong believer in automated tests - and a moderately disciplined author of them. Software engineering is exceptionally hard to get functionally correct, and even harder to avoid regressing later. As my wise teammate Dave says, “Legacy code is any code that doesn’t have a test.”

Exciting times as we hike the W, and visit Torres del Paine.

Management's role isn't necessarily to break unions but to keep workers compliant with company objectives. If the company is open to a union, they'll only impede it (and keep lower management out of the loop) so much so to make it a burden for workers to manage. If they're more offensive, they'll do what Apple, Trader Joe's, GM, Microsoft, Walmart and other conventional businesses do: take a complete about-face from whatever purported values the company is about and use their own legal prowess to weaken the constitutional rights workers have (it's only a crime if you're tried and sentenced when it comes to companies weakening unions).

the small child in front of me peeked through the chairs and asked me why I was wearing a mask, has this kid never seen a mask before on a plane?

I'm sorry I referred to my jizz as 'streaming content'

Ran past a man walking 3 pugs today. As I overtook, the pugs thought I was racing them and ran after me, which made me think I was being chased by angry pugs. It was an arms race in which everyone involved was stupid
