@b0rk Weirdly enough, I thought I did and that it quit less, but apparently my memory conflicts with my muscle memory which has been hitting q for this instead.

Counsel deposing me some day: “And when you typed into the incident slack channel, and I quote, ‘ruh roh, Raggy’ what did that correspond to in the system logs?”

I must not reply. Replying is the mind-killer. Replying is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I’m not sure if I like or dislike this idea, but it is novel.

One of the most delightful things about watching Sohla and Ham cook on the NYT Cooking channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7iNcYc7Joo) is seeing their teamwork in action, from meal concept and design to actual implementation. The pre-cooking vibes really reminds me of the best pair programming partners I’ve had.

Finally got bit by ripgrep not searching hidden files by default to change that default setting: https://git.kejadlen.dev/alpha/dotfiles/commit/143377611d6f6a6d8a70b9efb658a9ac426d3e45

Loved having this restaurant just a couple blocks away. Didn’t get to eat here nearly often enough.

Something that I think a lot of people struggle to internalize, to really feel subjectively, is that a lot of what people did in the past is still present.

People grow up hearing about all sorts of things that people did in history and experience it as *exotic* and *archaic.* ie, “witch hunts” belong to a distant, superstitious, paranoid past, until you hear about some guy shooting up a pizzeria in Washington, DC because he heard Hilary Clinton was drinking the blood of infants to power her occult rituals.

Anyway, I give you the pharaoh and his tomb filled with treasures to accompany him into the afterlife:

On the note of measurement theory one thing that drives me UP the wall in software: please know that an imperfect measure consistently applied is usually a source of more accurate information than a consistently shifting measure that may be considered "better" at a single point in time. If your goal is to make comparisons you sure as hell better be maximizing for making comparisons

What a perfect set of authors for this paper.

Someone complained that the xkcd Dependency comic is unrealistic because it only shows one critical dependency you've never heard of.

However, it all makes sense once you realize it's actually a fractal:

I’m not particularly fond of Go, but this is a neat approach to OSS maintenance out of that ecosystem: https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/geomys

One of the biggest security expertise redpills is this is unironically a good idea and the time spent making fun of it was ill-advised for most users whose physical security threat is not a factor in comparison.

This list of authors mentioned in crossword puzzles is pretty surprising to me: https://bookriot.com/authors-in-crossword-puzzles/

I wonder what this would look like looking at just NYTXW in the past decade.

One of the most fun StS runs I’ve had in a while (re-leveling back to A20 on iOS) - 3x Ragnarok and 3x Swivel + Snecko was hilarious.

Love seeing no/low-growth spaces form. https://wwinks.com/writing/heyjohn/

If Americans showed the same energy for civil disobedience about anything else that they do when it comes to setting off fireworks against the laws of city, state, courtesy, and self-preservation, we would have a three-day workweek, robust national healthcare, and a twenty-year plan for solar-powered luxury space communism.

[...] It is a card shimmer one of my clients retrieved from their petrol pump. Installed in about 20 seconds, it is about 150 microns thick and is COMPLETELY UNDETECTABLE to all methods described in PCI DSS and every P2PE Instruction Manual (PIM) I have read. There is no RF to detect and it intercepts data during the only unencrypted transmission of P2PE. [...]
