Brian Schottenheimer on Cowboys winning first game since Marshawn Kneeland’s death: “We’re not done honoring him.” https://www.nfl.com/news/brian-schottenheimer-on-cowboys-winning-first-game-since-marshawn-knee…

Every year, near the end of my accelerated intro class (0190), I've done the Halting Problem and briefly mentioned Rice's Theorem. It's finally(!) dawned on me that Rice's is more fundamental. Re-jigging class design! Also great to tie it up with, e.g., code.pyret.org .

Hi @… - I finally got back to some Claude-coding and told it to build me some BDD tests with Pytest and it seems to have done a reasonable job. https://github.com/adrianco/the-goodi…

In one case, it turns out that an all-male client group was giving vicious beratings (undeserved!) to a female project manager when they had her cornered alone. I had no idea.
In the moment, I found those men kind of obnoxiously self-confident in their ignorance, but nothing worse. Later they want on a Trumpian scorched earth campaign trying not to pay everyone for work already done and threatening lawsuits willy nilly. They turned out to be horrible people. Missing that early red flag of misogyny cost us all — but especially that manager.

FCC Chair Carr says ‘we’re not done yet’ after Jimmy Kimmel suspension by ABC

While Trump described his call for the U.S. military to reestablish a position in Afghanistan as “breaking news,” he has previously raised the idea.
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about whether it or the Pentagon has done any planning around returning to the sprawling [Bagram] air base, which was central to America’s longest war.

There's some rich scientific literature on volunteering and how volunteer motivations change and shift from initial engagement to sustained contributing, including some work we've done in that space around motivations for engaging with self-research communities.

Having just watched #Jaws for the first time in ages, I was stunned by the famous opening sequence ... but not by its cinematography or acting or editing - but by the never-ending chain of in-your-face #continuity errors in lighting once the girl enters the water: one moment we have a low Sun and a red sky, then we have the Sun near the zenith (with a day for night effect) then low again and so on, for several cycles.
Now #Spielberg, is there supposed to be some hidden message here? Well, there isn't.
(Once it's day, fortunately, this problem is gone, and a great movie unfolds, still fresh after 50 years. And I know, you shouldn't mess with a masterpiece, but Lucas added characters to Star Wars IV, and Cameron corrected a wrong star pattern in Titanic, so may be Spielberg could just, for an anniversary special edition ... o.k., I shut up. ;-)

This post will cost me a few followers, but it’ll also see new ones, because I’m done hiding how I truly see life, and why anarcho-syndicalism gives me real meaning.

For now the possibility to quote post is quite limited, as it doesn't allow us to quote post stuff coming from accounts who lack the capacity to manage quote posting permissions. I.e., all those not on the latest version of Mastodon.

Honestly, Freedesktop has done so much more for the Linux ecosystem.
I don't know why we bother mentioning GNU at this point, since their contributions are ancient and small at this point. What is left is GCC and Glibc. Glibc being a source of pain more than being helpful.
GNU stuff is at the foundation of the Linux desktop, but not much more than that.

In appreciation of all great work being done on 15, I decided to go with 14.3, with the 'latest' branch. All pkgs available, my dots for River working flawlessly, very happy with all that.

The Most Troubling Aspect of Latest Raiders Losing Streak https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/onsi/las-vegas-most-troubling-aspect-latest-losing-streak

The years of a man's life are three score and ten.
I've done my time; I've served my sentence. Today is the day on which, for most of the past thirty years, I've planned to make my farewells and exit stage left, ideally not pursued by a bear.
But the best laid plans of meece and men gang of agley, especially when there's a goblin involved.
So I'm afraid I shall now be sticking around a while longer, to pester and provoke you all.

One of the great shames of my software career is that I have not once but •twice• been a part of a project where I found out only after I was off the project that a male manager or client had been just absolutely, utterly •wretched• to a female teammate.
In both cases, it happened out of my sight. I had no idea what was going on.
I still think to this day about my obliviousness: how I could have found out sooner, what warning signs I missed, what I could have done to stick up for my female colleagues.

I fear I am living in a crap 70s sitcom.
We are having some building work done next week so we've ordered a skip to be delivered today. Also today our next door neighbours are moving out.
Skip wagon arrives about 11-ish, knocks next door who tell him that no they haven't ordered a skip but they know that next door (i.e. us) is waiting for one. Skippy rings my doorbell, delivers the skip and drives off.
90 minutes later another skip wagon turns up, rings my doorbell and says "there's no room for your skip because you've already got one". Which obviously I do.
Meanwhile the new next door neighbours are starting to move in and say "is that our skip?"
Given they're both 8 yard skips you'd think they could just deliver ours next door but apparently not as it's a different skip company. So he spent 30 minutes shuffling skips between our driveway & next door.

I’m using Claude-code to get stuff done that I couldn’t have done before. I just spent a non-frustrating hour or so successfully changing a system written mostly in typescript (which I’ve never used) to do a bunch of things differently. I’m telling it what I want the system to do (with BDD tests where possible) and it’s figuring out the code changes. Several days work for a human, weeks if I had to find someone to do it for me.

On the home stretch, I've almost got the last of the dielectric off. But I don't want to be too aggressive because ideally I'd get a beauty shot of intact poly across the whole die first, *then* undercut the poly and get a substrate image.
