Kept thinking about Fetty today, so some of that had to happen. His classic debut from 2015 #NowPlaying. His new one this year is great too.
Cmon, you know you love Trap Queen. This fucker got TWO Grammy noms! 😂

The thesis I was reading spent the majority of it's time focused on John Boyd's OODA loop as a tool for critical analysis in high pressure or constrained situations. Table top exercises could also benefit from using these steps to slow down the thought process, expose what's actually happening, and sharpen these tools.
So each step could start by observing (which is generally what the GM will tell you, but you may ask additional questions to refine observational thinking). What do you look for in any given situation? How do you gather data? What sources do you use?
Next you would orient. Talk through this out loud. What does that data mean? How this fit what you already know, or does it challenge your assumptions? Are you observing something related to a previous action? What does that tell you about your previous action or actions? How do you turn the data you observed into intelligence you can act on? How do your observations narrow the options for the next possible action?
Then you decide your action. But you're not simply deciding, you're coming up with a hypothesis that your action will test. Anything you do is an opportunity to learn something about the world, about your situation, about the accuracy of the model you're using to make decisions. What belief does your next action imply? How will you know if that action was correct or incorrect? What observations would challenge your hypothesis? What observations would confirm it? Are those mutually exclusive, or are there additional observations or actions you must make to clarify things?
Then act. Finish your turn by choosing your action or actions (individually or collectively). Perhaps take a moment to write down notes, like what your observations, your hypothesis, and if you think your previous hypothesis was confirmed or refuted. You can review these all later to refine your thinking.
By exploring these ideas in a safe environment, you can train your brain to run through the process at high speed when under pressure. This helps you avoid panic. It's a lot like slowly practicing marshal arts moves until they become muscle memory, which then just happen without thought when needed.

Hot take: DKIM signatures with ed25519 are largely useless🔥🔑
I know what you're thinking. RSA is bad. You read that blogpost with the "f" word. (It's not good.) This isn't about ed25519 vs. RSA, but about how DKIM works
Here's the problem: if you introduce a new crypto algorithm into a protocol, you need to know if the other side" supports it. But in DKIM, you don't. You're sending e-mails to arbitrary receivers. DKIM has no mechanism to tel…

Ich bin noch garnicht im Zug, da gibts schon kaskadierende Verspätungen bei der #DeutscheBahn :blobcatglare:

"DB will let you down. It will also, more often than the internet would have you believe, deliver you eight hours of clean uninterrupted thinking time at 250 km/h across a country, drop you within walking distance of your next meeting, and occasionally reroute you down the left bank of the Rhine at golden hour as an apology. The trick is to plan for the first and enjoy the second.'
The most useful hints I've ever seen for our summer holiday planning...

I can image a developer parallel to the first, too: the human still using all their skills and experience, but with the machine catching mistakes, providing context and validation and vigilance that is •orthogonal to• testing and type checking and code crafting and — the big one! — actually •thinking• about the problem.
That’s a regime I imagine developers would feel a lot better about. And I know there are people out there pursuing it! But they’re not the ones dominating the conversation.

Since it was relevant to a discussion I just had on here and is something most people probably haven't thought about much (unless you've taken one of a handful of philosophy classes), I thought I'd try to lay out a key piece of Descartes' Meditations (#philosophy

Auch wenn ich einen ICE-Halt in Denzlingen heute ganz praktisch fände, hoffe ich, dass die Strecke bald wieder frei ist.

Lok ist am Freiburger Hauptbahnhof entgleist
Am Mittwoch ist eine S-Bahn aus den Gleisen gesprungen in der Nähe des Freiburger Hauptbahnhofs. Daraufhin kam es zu Verspätungen.

My office right now.
A reasonable person could be forgiven for thinking I'm a kindergarten teacher, and not preparing materials for a college introduction to programming course.
(Let me know if you're interested in what those activities are...)
(And also a Foundations of AI course, but first, the intro course.)
