Programming in Forth is oddly relaxing. I want to forget about modern languages and embrace antique ones

Today, I finally remembered to attach my Garmin to our dog on our hike. You can really see the bits where she runs back and forth and where she was on the lead. In the end she ended up doing at least 50% more distance than the two of us. #hikingwithdogs #dogsofmastodon

The great majority of people have to work in order to earn a livelihood, and a sizable proportion of them are productive workers. A huge number of workers are unproductive as well. They operate entirely with the circumstances and framework created by the capitalist system, such as shuffling invoices, contracts, credit slips, insurance policies, and so forth. Probably nine out of ten "workers" wouldn't have any work to do in a rational society -- one that would not require insur…

Yup.
The extra hour of sleep tonight was nice… but this back and forth needs to end. It is unhealthy, even dangerous. Now that we are again in line with the sun on Standard time we need to return to this natural circadian rhythm permanently. No more changes. This is it.

Video shared by the USGS on social media shows mud spraying up and out from the murky hot spring just before 9.23am local time in Biscuit Basin.
Black Diamond Pool lies about midway between the famous Old Faithful geyser and Grand Prismatic Spring, the park’s largest spring.
A hydrothermal explosion at Black Diamond in July 2024 sent rocks and mud flying hundreds of feet high and damaged a boardwalk used by visitors, prompting the closure of the area

Sonnet 145 - CXLV
Those lips that Love's own hand did make,
Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate',
To me that languished for her sake:
But when she saw my woeful state,
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom;
And taught it thus anew to greet;
'I hate' she altered with an end,
That followed it as gentle day,
Doth follow night, who like a…

I tried driving my vehicle today like they do on TV (moving the steering wheel back and forth constantly) and I was all over the road. Why do they have actors do that?

I keep going back and forth between "These are just vanity metrics. Please stop." and "I would probably do this if I were them. It shows that you used their service more than you think you did." 🤷‍♂️

Dear #Apple. I am curious to know what the top priorities of the company is going forth. I ask because there are many of us who are confused about where this company is headed. We are concerned, as the more successful you have become, that more diluted your core mission has become. Example : Liquid Glass UI? really?
Form over function? no! ... gives us back "It Just Works"…

There are 3 fundamental freedoms outlined in Dawn of Everything:
(1) the freedom to move away or relocate from one’s surroundings;
(2) the freedom to ignore or disobey commands issued by others; and
(3) the freedom to shape entirely new social realities, or shift back and forth between different ones.
I think these can all be captured in one statement when reframed as a system constraint: for a system to be free, participation must be optional for all members.
People must be part of *some* system. Even individualistic survivalism is itself a system (if not a very good one). Then there is a corollary as well: any system that is not free, that is not optional, can turn optional systems into mandatory ones, and thus (adopted from the MLK quote) un-freedom anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.

I'm gonna drop the #Philosophy tag on here because apparently that's where I went with it. Challenges and push-back welcome.

Thought of the day: coding assistants make it very easy to refactor.
On the plus side, it means you can easily experiment. On the minus side, you may waste a lot of time going back and forth, searching for the perfect code.

I know, it's an ingrained part of German culture to complain about its bureaucracy, how it's slow, based on sending Fax, etc. But the folks at the register office in my last place of residency in 🇩🇪 are just great.
It took in total 3 weeks to get our marriage from 🇬🇧 registered with them, which included some wait time for translations and the timezone difference. And all back & forth was handled via email.
In comparison, the 🇦🇷 equivalent has been ongoing for 1 1/2 years, at >10x the cost. 😂

Was recently reminded about the time me and my brothers were studying high school German with the aid of some bilingual story that had each page printed in both languages, and came across the word "Stuhlgang".
From that point forth, any time we came across a stool of the sort you sit on (as opposed to the kind you flush down the toilet) we'd refer to it as a Stuhlgang.

Are you tired of illuminated gaming keyboards, and even the clacking sound of mechanical keyboards has lost their appeal?

A group of cancer survivers was just called to the front to lead the runners and walkers. A speech by one of the women has brought forth the tears. My wife had to walk away as she found it tough to listen. Too close to our daughter's story.

As I'm grading #JCON's speaker proposals, I noticed an interesting behavior of mine. For Java proposals, I don't take much time in evaluating. The title might even be enough; architecture proposals take much more time as I go back and forth. I wonder why.

The Two-Zone Temperature Distribution Model: Inferences on the Structure and Composition of Dusty Protoplanetary Disks
In order to understand the mineralogy and structure of protoplanetary disks, it is important to analyze them from both an empirical spectrum-based perspective and a radiative transfer image-based perspective. In a prior paper, we set forth an empirical mineralogy mid-IR spectral model that conveyed spatial information and worked in tandem with a radiative transfer model, which formed the EaRTH Disk Model. In this article, we take the empirical portion of that model, the TZTD model, and refine i…

For thou art covetous, and he is kind;
He learned but surety-like to write for me,
Under that bond that him as fast doth bind.

One other pattern that I kept experiencing last year when I was actually trying these tools in my work (because I had so many people pushing them on me I started to think I was crazy):
Them: “oh you are struggling with X? I have been using AI to solve it and it gives me the solution in less than 10 minutes! You HAVE TO try it!”
Me: “X is really annoying, I’d love to get help with it. I’ll try that, thanks!”
* I go and try to do X, spend hours prompting AI back-and-forth as it keeps messing up and doing things wrong. I give up and do the thing manually, spending 2-3x the time I would have spent if I did it myself from the start.*
*days / weeks later*
Me: “hey, person, I tried to do X with AI and it didn’t work. I kept getting issues like Y and Z. Did I prompt it wrong? This is what I tried.”
Them: *nods, maybe chuckles* “oh yeah, it does that. I still haven’t been able to figure out how to reliably do X. I tend to redo the output completely too. But sometimes it helps me do like this tiny part. Anyway, these tools will improve soon and we won’t have to do so many manual revisions. “
I kid you not, this stuff happened every other week.

i have been listening to these two chattering back and forth at each for the past two days and I realize now I had gotten very used to a very quiet desk. The sound of the HDDs was so odd to me that I thought it was the wind outside...
And yet it was a sound I had known near constantly from like 1990 to 2018.
weird how we quickly we can get unaccustomed to a sound.
