Spent half the day writing mocks for NetworkExtension because the VPN system doesn't work *at all* on the iOS Simulator.
Seems like this should be Apple's job, not mine, tbh.

Wooo, the new computer chair should be delivered day-after-tomorrow and I'm pretty stoked. The old chair is kinda falling apart, but for a cheap chair it did a great job...however, the "new" Aeron should be a significant upgrade. Also, the rollerblade wheels will be moving from the old Office Depot chair to the new one...

First day back in the office after my break in Tokyo and the contrast couldn't be more extreme! Feel like I need to re-learn my job from scratch. And I'm putting that down to complete and utter disconnection while I was away.

So the Claremont Institute pays Jeremy Carl to be antisemitic and racist?

Models Are Applying to Be the Face of AI Scams
Dozens of Telegram channels reviewed by WIRED include job listings for “AI face models.” The (mostly) women who land these gigs are likely being used to dupe victims out of their money.

Did California lose Larry Page?
The Google and Alphabet cofounder, who left day-to-day operations in 2019,
has seen his net worth soar in the years since
—from around $50 billion at the time of his departure to somewhere approximating $260 billion today.
(Leaving his job clearly didn’t hurt his wallet.)
Last year, a proposed ballot initiative in California threatened billionaires like Page with a one-time 5 percent wealth tax
—prompting some of them to con…

Silicon Valley Billionaires Panic Over California’s Proposed Wealth Tax
Larry Page’s apparent Florida move highlights how seriously the ultra-rich are taking a one-time tax aimed at extreme wealth inequality.

We're having our hallway replastered and painted by a property maintenance company. It's taking weeks, with painters turning up to paint walls that haven't been stripped yet, or with the wrong equipment, and people showing up for a few hours before being told to do another half day the other side of Sheffield so they have to spend ages sitting in traffic for no apparent reason, or no-one turning up for a week halfway through a job.. The person running the business is absolutely o…

@… Honestly I think I'm like exactly the person you're describing in your example. My day job being what it is, when I hear "host static files" my mind just immediately jumps to like "Yeah, I could do that with S3".
So I'm trying to purposefully step back, take a breath, and take your advice. But I realize I've been so *in* the co…

I spent 4 hours today talking to 2 graduate seminars, 1 in each official language. In both, we had wide-ranging conversations on evidence, methodology, theory, concepts, the literature, the discipline, publicly engaged scholarship, and more. The students were engaged, inquisitive, humane, and brilliant. This is why I wanted this job. A damn good day.

It always starts with talk about millionaires and billionaires and ends with a 36% unrealized gains tax on the handful of assets you bought to try and get a stake in the economy and claw your way out of financial insecurity and maybe be able to retire some day. Meanwhile, the unfathomably rich remain forever unfathomably rich. These people are the allies of capital, and creators of a permanently dependent underclass. They do this to ensure there is always a job for them. If they really cared…

I spent 10 minute looking for a cron job that wasn't there because it was on a different machine. What a great day!

Her I was, thinking Putin’s abortive war against #Ukraine might be the trigger to WWIII, but it seems to be not working out lately. And now ol’ Donnie boy is trying to pull off a copycat job at #Iran with the same 2 day, I mean 4-5 week, I mean 3-4 month oops multi-year “plan” that’s blowing up (heh) into an…

So, spent most of the day getting Handbrake compiled with the `svt-av1-psyex` and `svt-av1-essential` forks of the SvtAv1 encoder. However, I did win that battle and both are now available in the `sisyphus-client` containers. Definitely a pain in the ass, but it's nice to have options depending on what you want to use. Also updated the documentation to make sure I don't forget which is which.
I still need to implement some pipelines to build these, but holy crap the Handbrak…

My friend Brad Bazemore KK4PWJ wanted a totally free — zero cost, 100% open source — comprehensive US Amateur Radio study app. His day job is in testing, and he really knows his stuff.
So he built Open Ham Prep.
I'm super grateful for Hamstudy — it's how I passed all three tests, and I contributed to a bunch of explanations, especially improving ones that were just mn…

Zohran Mamdani’s third day as mayor of New York City was supposed to be dedicated to a long-stalled #pedestrian #safety plan,
the kind of local quality-of-life issue he had made central to his campaign.
Instead, after the U.S. military captured

For Mamdani, a Break With the President Just Three Days Into His New Job
New York City’s newly elected mayor planned to spend Saturday announcing a pedestrian safety plan. Then President Trump brought a captured foreign leader to his doorstep.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation at DHS,
but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation
so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1.
That is the job.

More recently, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (soon to be DHS Secretary) was seen trying to grab Rep. Al Green's sign at the State of the Union. The sign said, "Black people aren't apes."
