i think the nobel committee is sending a valuable message. fascism is on the rise all over the world. fighting that with courage and conviction is a good example to hold up. in some ways, a less than perfect person doing the right thing may be the most important message to get out.

@darkuncle

one of the life lessons i learned about burnout:

When you catch yourself looking in the mirror in the morning and telling yourself:

"I know I'm stressed but I'm not that bad yet. I can hold it
together a little longer. I haven't lost it yet."

Not only have you lost it, you probably can't even see where you lost it in the rear view mirror anymore.

about time!

big tech doesn't want to admit that a measurable percentage of users have accessibility issues, due to physical issues, disease, natural aging, etc.

particularly the latter is a growing slice of the market as boomers age out and life expectencies are still growing.

not to mention the arrogance of "they'll have to use whatever we write so why care if it solves any problems for them"....

@MaryAustinBooks

ICE has declared that they are outside the laws, conventions, and norms of our society. fine. let's all shun them and prevent their participation in our society. if they don't like it, they can quit ICE.

@FinchHaven "...standardizing parts of #ATProtocol in an effort to establish long-term governance for the protocol."

"parts"?

OSI failed because every vendor wanted their existing, non-interoperable implementations to all somehow magically work by having a non-functional subset of all those vendors' implementations as required but anything they didn't want to change as option. result. the same non-interoperability.

the IETF and TCP/IP are ubiquitous now because they didn't try to avoid actual interoperability in the name of some useless "protocol compliance" of a subset.

color me skeptical that this will be a useful exercise.

at summer camp, we used to have what we called "chemical peanut butter". it came in a no10 metal can. you knew it was good stuff because peanuts were the *2nd* ingredient in the list (which must be in volume order from largest to smallest).

it not only never separated, you could probably use it to fix dents in your car, like Bondo.

i'm betting that it was probably radioactive too.

@sj @ai6yr @W6KME

fabric drag is significant when you're getting into this level of minutae.

in two grand tours this summer, those wearing the GC leader jersey were debating wearing that vs the custom aero skin suits fitted to them during time trials.

the human body surface area is by far the largest volume when considering where to optimize for aerodynamics.

fascinating stuff when you deep dive on this.

@W6KME @ai6yr

i think the foolishness with less spokes for weight reduction was what finally did it. that and bike parts breaking.

of course, now it's all about aerodynamics. primoz roglic was being given shit because he wearing non-aero socks one day.

@ai6yr @W6KME

i'm more shocked by someone testing this than the results. ;)

@ai6yr

ah, lobster religion. "butter get your soul in order"...

@Nonilex

grift and corruption all the time...

@ai6yr

our brains do fascinating things, both with connections made and missed.

i learned how to sing the alphabet backwards because NoVA cops used to love doing DUI checkpoints and making you say the alphabet backwards. (I was young and stupid... didn't drink and drive, just wanted to piss cops off...)

AI a bubble. first i've heard of it... *cough* *cough*

"marvel announces new super hero, Spicy Shrimp. our hero, just trying to enjoy a shrimp cocktail while working on a tricky Rust programming problem, becomes radioactive, able to make any nearby shrimp dish super spicy, as well as emitting a warm orange glow."

@inthehands

"benevolent dictator". just a dictator with a slick sales pitch or competent propaganda team.

@ryanc

you know you'd just waste the cycles if chrome wasn't using them, for stuff like compiles, useful work, etc. :D

@chillybot

just like i take zero satisfaction or joy when a MAGA voter is screwed over by TACO et al, i take zero satisfaction or joy when a gun nut (or anyone at all) gets shot by some loon with a gun.

i don't expect it, but i'd love to see this be the start of a substantive discussion on finally getting useful and sane gun control laws.

@GottaLaff

about time they did more than write stern letters.

"A Republican source warned that this move will be seen as a hostile act, which could jeopardize bipartisan negotiations on the defense package."

yeah. right. bipartisan that includes the GOP. only if time travel to 1975 is possible. it's good that the Democrats aren't falling for this ploy any more.

@ryanc

ooh! or all those whistles and lights and sirens, like when a slot machine pays off. cause that's sure how AWS looks at your bill.

@mjg59

DNS is kind of a "bumblebees can fly" protocol. the more you understand of how everything hooks together, the more amazed you are that it *ever* works at *all*, much like how amazing it is that bumblebees somehow fly. :)
