I see Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a good man doing bad things,
but perhaps he thinks even worse of me: He recently suggested that I was a liar.
While testifying before Congress, Rubio claimed that the Trump administration’s dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development had not cost any lives.
“No children are dying on my watch,” he asserted.
At another point in the hearing, he broadened his statement to include adults as well: “No one has d…

Opinion | Really, Secretary Rubio? I’m Lying About the Kids Dying Under Trump?
Many thousands of children are dying because of cuts in American humanitarian aid, and denials by Elon Musk and Marco Rubio don’t change that reality.

"Because I deserved support in that moment. I deserved having my boss taking me to the side to have a coffee and asking me how I was doing. I deserved having somebody more in my team to help me figure out a new technical solution for that project, instead of leaving me alone. I deserved having a product owner communicating issues to that customer. I deserved having someone giving a fucking shit about my mental health."

In a valiant attempt to keep the world at bay, I have been doing another playthrough of Mass Effect. This time, it was misbehaving in various ways in the Citadel DLC. I restarted after it froze, which unblocked things but now if I invited person A for a hangout, person B would show up. Odd things like that.
It gets better.
During the party, after talking upstairs to the group including Traynor, I walked into the bedroom where Traynor was also standing, stock-still, unresponsive, in her underwear, even though a responsive Traynor was still on the couch nearby.
In the morning, waking up (next to Garrus of course), unresponsive Traynor was still standing in the bedroom. I hope this is a first in ME history, a sort of threesome or at least voyeur party.

I'm doing my French homework and the textbook is talking about the mid 90s and how the UK, ruled by an iron fist(!) banned outdoor dance festivals and "music with a repetitive beat". Leading to the "French Touch" - the rise of French groups like Daft Punk and Stardust.
It's weird seeing an era I was around for discussed like ancient history especially as it doesn't really match how I remember it.

104°f in the forecast today (so likely 100 here, generally tend to be a few degrees below the airport the local news channels use for their forecast) so it's a Steam Deck day. This saves the AC in the RV from having to fight down the heat from my PC/monitor. What am I doing on it? Why, I'm using Chiaki4Deck to remote play Dave The Diver on my PS5 (That sits in a cabinet with an exhaust fan venting outside👍)

I feel like tech has gotten smarter, and I've gotten dumber. My Roku Ultra says it does Miracast (on the website) but in my settings I see only Airplay. And my phone (android) does not see it when searching. So does it not do it or am I doing something wrong? #feelingold

Dear #Apple Time Machine has become an unreliable POS. Jeez what the FICK are you guys doing!

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving #Science #MAGA

"I think it is a huge mistake for people to assume that they can trust AI when they do not trust each other. The safest way to develop superintelligence is to first strengthen trust between humans, and then cooperate with each other to develop superintelligence in a safe manner. But what we are doing now is exactly the opposite. Instead, all efforts are being directed toward developing a superintelligence."

«Scientific conferences are leaving the US amid border fears»
And this is just the beginning: Most big scientific conferences are not only already committed to 2025 venues but also 2026, given the long contract deadlines for such events. Academic societies are very reluctant to cancel existing contracts given how expensive doing so is.
Imho, 2027 will be the conference year to watch (if anything resembling a US academy is left by then).

Went to Small World Festival. Mostly dry and occasionally sunny.
Small World has such a nice friendly hippy vibe, lots of deadlocks and goths and pirates and beautiful face paints.
Bands all energetic and talented and mostly have been playing here together for 20 years in one form or another. All of 'em doing it for the love of it. Pony doing a great job of organizing the team to put it together.
One dude seemed pretty new, making up synth songs with his repeats and beeps and rapping from audience suggestions. Failed to photograph him well though. There's another 4 bands mentioned in the photo descriptions here.
Medically necessitated more or less total sobriety at the moment, so different whole thing. Those I knew well there mostly working, so lots of time alone dancing soberly and reading. Wish I was better at talking to strangers.
Still good times.

Statement by YDS Dean Greg Sterling.
-----
We are relieved that two members of the YDS community, Rev. William Barber and Rev. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, are safe and unharmed following their arrest while praying in the Capitol Rotunda yesterday. We applaud them for their courage in standing up for Christian values and doing so in accordance with the venerable tradition of nonviolent action.

Rev. William Barber arrested in Capitol Rotunda after praying against Republican-led budget
(RNS) — While arrests of protesters at the Capitol is not unusual, the response to Barber’s prayer was unusually dramatic: After issuing verbal warnings, dozens of officers expelled everyone in the Rotunda — including credentialed press.

Prince of Persia: big guards on spikes
With sufficient blocking of the guards' attacks, and aggressive hits towards them, it's possible to get most guards to back up over the edge of a pit, landing on spikes, or getting cut in half by the blades. Doing so take time, but it's very satisfying. Serves them right for attacking me. I've completed level 11 now, and am back up in the palace after my return to the dungeons.

A Synthetic Business Cycle Approach to Counterfactual Analysis with Nonstationary Macroeconomic Data
This paper investigates the use of synthetic control methods for causal inference in macroeconomic settings when dealing with possibly nonstationary data. While the synthetic control approach has gained popularity for estimating counterfactual outcomes, we caution researchers against assuming a common nonstationary trend factor across units for macroeconomic outcomes, as doing so may result in misleading causal estimation-a pitfall we refer to as the spurious synthetic control problem.

This review is about Writing for Developers by Piotr Sarna and Cynthia Dunlop from Manning.
I started this blog as a hobby 17 years ago, in April 2008. At the time, I had no clue about technical writing.Since then, the landscape has changed a lot, to the point that companies hire for technical writer positions.

At this point I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's fault or ASUS'... but I suspect the blame falls on Windows side (nothing like that happens on my Linux installation).
