They are almost burning leadership positions and shareholder value at the same rate as they are burning the planet.

Das geschriebene Wort schafft Verantwortung — Albrecht von Lucke auf der re:publica, zitiert von Steffen Voß (@…). Die Blogosphäre war kein Idyll, aber ein Raum, in dem Argumente zählten. Heutige Algorithmen steuern Diskussionen, Podcasts bieten oft nur Bestätigung. Was wir verloren haben: Präzision, Verlinkung, Widerlegbarkeit.

Call it a startup with a sole founder and a very large seed round, but what's next is less clear.

Also, zero days (well, minus a lot of days because I've been slacking) since a random #Python package got a new #NIH dependency on another Python package which is actually a "fastest" #RustLang package which cannot be built because the author thinks it a great idea to require a nightly Rust compiler.
…and of course it's full of "unsafe" calls. Because Rust is obviously such a great language for making secure code.

A photo of my dad in Port Alberni harbour on the Therma 1. A salmon troller, around 1975-76
He was not often in the PA harbour. I believe this was when they were readying to sell this boat before I was born.
update: just realized my brother is in this photo! he kind of blends in (70s colours) he is in front of my dad sitting sideways. He looks about 5 or 6 so that would make the pic 75/76
