I never thought I’d see Waterworld on a list of «best of…» films. I mean, it’s a cheesy, fun movie — but good? Hm; maybe not. theguardian.com/film/2025/nov/

You’re gonna need a bigger boat: the 20 best films set on water – ranked!
As L’Atalante is re-released, we count down the best movies set largely on ships, boats, barges, yachts, steamers and trimarans. Submarines banned, as they’re under water

I'm not ok. The world seems not ok. But community is important and there is still value in doing things just because. Blinky lights are fun, so last weekend I helped wire some controller boxes for an upcoming Burning Man project (maybe unscruz too?)
(and I've just realized that I don't know the project's name or if it has one...)

A table covered in wires and tools. There a 3 sets of identically laid out LED Falcon F16v4 controller boards mounted on panels and flanked by buck converters. One of the panels is in a weatherproof case.

Writing unit tests for my random number generation library continues to be difficult. My tests are failing because the bias in the distribution exceeds my expectations, but I'm wondering whether I should just repeat the test more times and permit it to exceed expectations some of the time (as long as it does it symmetrically/rarely/etc. My gut tells me that second-order expectations aren't any better than first-order expectations, but another part of me disagrees.
Thinking more as I write this (writing is thinking): second-order tests can at least give me better info to work with towards fixing things I think! So maybe I'll invest in them.

reading a prelim paper on scaling up gpu-accelerated database query engines and feeling kinda gobsmacked at where that world is at
i remember when we built a “massive” memory machine at princeton with … i think it was 256 MB of RAM. (it sat idle except when ken thompson was logged in and building hash tables for chess endgames which was most of the time)

MAGA is melting down across the US, and here I am in Norway just enjoying the show. Keep falling apart.

Suddenly, Trump’s effort to rig the 2026 midterms with corrupt gerrymanders appears in trouble.
A panel of judges just blocked the GOP gerrymander in Texas, which had added five seats.
In Indiana, Republicans currently lack the votes to redraw their congressional map.
Trump is angry about all this.
He lashed out at Indiana Republicans, threatening primaries and calling one opponent “weak” and “pathetic.”
So is the scheme dead?
-- No.
Several as…

Trump’s Plot to Rig 2026 Is Falling Apart, and Boy Is He Mad About It
As the Trump-GOP scheme to gerrymander the midterms suddenly faces big new setbacks, a Democratic operative who’s leading in these fights explains why the battle isn’t over—and what must happen now.

Luxmuralis at Hereford Cathedral last night. This was the final bit and definitely the best.
