There's a kinda person where you eventually hear their favourite documentary is Koyaanisqatsi and like Yeah That tracks

MBTA cryptid #103 Eggplant on the orange line

"Paul Hollywood" sounds like the antagonist in a film starring Bruce Willis. The fact that he's a man who judges bread and cakes is one of Britain's greatest contributions to absurdism. It's almost Dadaist in its construction.

Don't trust the fearmongers: using "4" as your private key is totally fine, as long as it's a random "4". Besides, 4 is prime and therefore secure

I kept waiting for this to be a joke and I'm so glad it isn't

this could be the FUTURE. you are all non-believers with working-computers and it SHOWS

never a good start

I'm glad Ed Markey is doing well and all (55 days left btw) but somehow this line in the coverage of his primary win is the most staggering thing I've read all week. The man was the first person to beat a Kennedy in a Massachusetts election, ever. commonwealthbeacon.org/news-analysi...

Thinking about this exchange today

Southbound traffic could still get through if they weren't cowards

starting a collection of quotes like this

Was walking on Florida Ave a couple nights ago and a guy said to me "Swedish, right?" and I said "No" and he goes "Huh." Whole conversation.

This is the kind of energy we need more of in tech right now to be honest. It's a bit naive in places. Very human throughout.

in 2015 when you saw a low image quality photo you could say "what did you shoot this on a potato" and now everyone's like "oh what kind of potato is that I love how the blacks get crushed and the details go all soft it's so vintage. is that like a Russet or"

can't believe how long this article is

Technology advice: The backplate on the Sun™ 450 MHz UltraSPARC™-II Module interferes with the plastic airflow guide in the Ultra 2, but it can be removed and replaced with any copper heatsinks you have on hand that are less than ~3mm tall.

I strongly believe in the breadth and influence of independent art, to grant us oblique angles on the world and ourselves. But also every indie game is somewhere on this spectrum:

If they keep track of everything why can't they tell me where I lost control of my life 🫠

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

Nearly there Assembly 👌 But I feel like there's at least one person avoiding the Revolution Drive entrance because the flag doesn't line up with the windows. #mbta

Y'ever hit a 26 year old panic? No disrespect to NetBSD, because I'm doing something really dumb right now, but it's hilarious to me that this computer was brought down by sending one ☝️ IPv6 packet

I attempted to recreate the Mountain Dew Baja Blast™ pie at home, but I kind of think the teal might be a bit too saturated...?

Y'know after a couple years of looking like a crazy person trying to find the US flags the #MBTA has tucked away in dark corners and at the top of weird atriums, I feel like Revere Beach 🟦 is making this one too easy

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

The amateurs in the python steering council are fine with adding useless language features like "t-strings" or "r-strings" (???) but won't even acknowledge my ꙮ-string PEP. I'm fucking done

Watch Out!

OTD 1980: Publication of the Digital/Intel/Xerox specification for "The Ethernet", Version 1.0. 10Mbps then, 800Gbps now. I'm running 2.5Gbps (with P.O.E.) throughout my house.

Jagex is cancelling their 2025 pride event out of cowardice. I have a cancel button too! #osrs #pride

I don't know who was wondering if you can do a processor swap on late 90s Toshiba laptops, but it turns out, yes! You can! I'm holding the Pentium II this guy shipped with ✨(with its goofy MMC-1 cartridge form factor)

Thanks DC Metro, I've never had an emotional reaction to a transit pass before.

Of all the US flags behind plexiglass that I've found on the MBTA, this one at Harvard 🟥 is probably the best hidden. Are you even meant to see it there?

Airport Station, blue line. I approach 2024 still not understanding why the MBTA feels the need to put a protective case around the US flag.

The next time somebody in the webdev community gets angry at me for supporting Google Amp or Firefox's reader mode, I'm sending them this. Almost every recipe blog online is like this now.

I had a very fun night of trying to brute force an unsolved problem in mathematics, the Magic Square of Squares. I leaped into the code and got 4 hours into optimizing it... Before realizing my search space was in the nonillions, and there's some geometric proof that it's impossible. Ah well.
