stumbled on a set of incredible 1970s illustrations in some government reports, so had to spend a day collecting them into a website to share with my friends on the computer: nickseaver.net/paperwork

Thank you to the driver of this Ford Explorer for making my day.

See, it’s extra funny because if you read the digits of the hand in binary, it represents one of e-mudra’s private keys.

appears that hegseth impulsively blurted this out to look tough, but had not discussed it with others prior, causing admin to scramble. he did not think through the consequences of livestreaming. these do not seem like good qualities for someone making war-related decisions.

This is right up with how I see "Free Palestine" chalked on the sidewalk and hear it in the "Sweet Caroline" melody

Wow. I don't know how broad Deno adoption got, but no security updates after a year is a huge deal for anybody running it in production. Yikes.

Just checking in after barely being on here for a few days

“Ms. Hamilton, who would bring her young daughter to work on weekends and evenings, is credited with popularizing the term “software engineering” to describe the complexity of the work her team did, thus elevating software coding to a status equal to hardware design.”

There are worse things than being walking distance from The Fillmore. This is a San Francisco appreciation post.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

you would not believe what a bunch of independently acting rogue humans did today when other humans weren't looking in contravention of some rules and behavioral guidelines and requirements set by other humans

Alternatively, open source maintainers looking to earn a living from maintaining their open source projects are welcome to respond "fuck you, pay me" and produce security attestations—without threat of suddenly their project is a formal product subject to all manner of regulation.

The appropriate and legally supported response to requests on open source maintainers to attest to the security of their projects and fill out lengthy forms about their cybersecurity stance is Fuck off.

Oof.

They finally fucking did it, what a show of solidarity

Saw Cut Chemist last night at The Independent. Can confirm that he remains one of the best to ever do it. Unreal technique and musicality.

Feeling a big split between "Do the existing job but worse+faster" (yours or somebody else's) and "Oh huh this makes totally new approaches possible"
