cybersecurity is entering its "don't come to school tomorrow" era that sucks

I like LA more when it rains. It becomes real for a second before everything dries up again.

A new york Core i7 is an everywhere else Core i9

hey all-nighters rule sometimes

WiFi joined but not connected. A dozen laptops open in the coffee shop. Surely not all on hotspots. A sinking feeling, you can’t avoid it: “Is it me?”

Two things about urban design articles like this: 1. Of the story is about a geometry problem, you include a photo or diagram of the geometry. 2. If you act like you have a both-sides fetish, maybe don’t trim the cyclists words to sound anti-bike lane.

Gold Star Beer Counter sells Sey Coffee, and will fill a large reusable mug for $3, oops best coffee deal in the neighborhood.

Listening to 3 ads before every podcast on Spotify Premium where I pay to not get ads. The ad is for YouTube Premium. It’s touting ad-free watching. My eye twitches.

wow AI sucks, I asked our stupid CAD program for an optimal packing of 17 squares and it gave me this shit

Great post from Adam. The team is really hitting their stride with KCL 3 zoo.dev/blog/kcl-3

ppl at the top of orgs like to think that LLMs are replacing interns but for juniors they're mostly filling in for the lack of mentorship that's always been there.

I spent my time mostly not coding at our Maine van camp, but I cracked a couple beers and hammock camped one night and worked by the fire “for fun”, and I must say it felt rad.

“While we cannot discuss the specific allegations during pending litigation, we take this matter seriously.” Wouldn’t it be great if we collectively set an automation so that as soon as litigation ended we could get notified to go follow up with cowards that use this fig leaf?

I never want to start loudly musing that the apocalypse is approaching as weird cope for the fact that I am aging and will someday die. That would be incredibly embarrassing.

“Secularization, it turns out, does not automatically remove the human instincts for religion and liturgy, it just repurposes their worship.” Highly recommend this whole Hedgehog Review issue for more on this: hedgehogreview.com/issues/re-en...

Fillets are _much_ better in KCL 3.0 (try it now by setting your version to "3.0-preview"). We added a new feature where fillets will continue around your model, following tangent edges (defaults to true, but can be toggled off). This makes it _much_ easier to apply fillets to your whole model!

To write again or just remove “writing at franknoirot.co” from my bio, that is the question

Rewrite It In Rust Already

Unintentionally funny tagline for the birthplace of white flight suburbs

Ohio has a terrible ground game but its skies are still the best

Lived in NYC long enough to need my second license

9/11 docs shake me down deep now that I'm here and want to raise my family here. I can't fathom the fear.

I feel like I'm able to implement really hard software just by alternating between saying "wow, good idea, do it" or "boo, too specific, generalize it" these days

category theory is wickedly powerful nowadays

Executable proofs are gonna be the prefrontal cortex I’m calling it

Gonna start all my Slack threads for refactor proposals with clickbait thumbnails like a GTA6 streamer

Literally just learning that my registry package in ZDS is partially “we have Effect at home” lol

ppl who play albums on shuffle should have to watch movies cut together at random like a haphazard Memento.

Hey, both E2E-encrypted messaging and public-private key identity exist. Why can’t we vote for every level of government from our phones, like weekly?

I agree, module shadowing is crazy, python must be stopped.

I’m not sure I know what a code base is anymore

Napped so hard I had a era change

Merging stacked PRs feels great, thanks for adding that @github.com

Sometimes it's your job to ask stupid questions.

THAT'S MY MAYOR

Symbiosis, from my memory, is introduced like way too late in school. It’s not some quirk of sharks and remoras: mutualism is lowkey a foundation of ecosystem interaction and any myths to the contrary do damage to us.

But for more recent prior (better) art, see catala-lang.org/en/examples/..., which my colleague just put me on to.
