Why (and how) UPS trucks (almost) never turn left.
The policy started in the 1970s and is implemented by a dedicated software since 2004.

What's left from SCOTUS, and when to expect it
lawdork.com/p/whats-left-from-

When I was first learning to write,
my letters and words ran from right to left, reversed as if in a mirror.
Being left-handed, I was imitating the hand strokes of my right-handed teachers instead of reversing their strokes to replicate the letters.
I gradually got the hang of writing in the correct direction, but it still feels natural for me to mirror-write.
I have a mirror-written childhood diary. Leonardo da Vinci, another lefty, did that too

I've noticed how people who are 'left' in their politics are happy to identify themselves that way. People on the 'right', however, seldom identify themselves that way, as it tends to reflect poorly on them - 'right' connotes selfish, bigoted, greedy, mean, cold, ignorant, religious, pragmatic rather than principled... I propose we adopt new terms for the political spectrum rather than 'left'<->'right', namely 'noble'<->'ign…

The state of #Python ecosystem right now: almost everything is slop. Some projects are complete vibe-coded slop (autobahn, chardet, cryptography). Some projects are disguised slop ("Coding agents shouldn't co-author themselves.")
There is only a handful of human projects left (Flask being one bright example). And they're being killed. They're being killed by the neverending slew of slop pull requests. They're being killed by all their dependencies becoming slop. They're being killed because this whole ecosystem has became such a complete cesspit that you have zero motivation to do anything.
EDIT: and honestly, this is only going to get worse. When you kill the incentive to work on projects, you only get more slop. Maintainers give in, and more projects become slop. Or they give up, and projects get forked unto slop.

Which one of these BGA fanouts is better?
Both are the same nominal trace/space, both are skew matched by the time you get to the vertical "home run" area heading towards the connector.
But TDR of the first one wasn't that great. Let's see if the second one is any better when the simulation finishes...

BGA fanout of a diffpair coming off a pair of vertically stacked BGA lands so the trace running to the upper one is longer than the lower until a bunch of meanders straighten them back out
Alternate layout with the track coming left from the balls and tightly coupled the whole way but taking a bit more space and needing much less meanders

Japan Daily on Instagram: "Residents in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district are reporting a surge in abandoned suitcases left in residential neighborhoods by foreign tourists. Security footage has captured individuals discarding old luggage late at night, likely after purchasing new replacements to transport souvenirs home. According to local regulations in Toshima Ward, items larger than 30 centimeters are classified as oversized waste and require a specific fee and advance reservation for pickup. Many of the abandoned items lack the necessary disposal stickers, creating a significant burden for local communities and sanitation services. Experts suggest that the rise of private lodging facilities contributes to the issue, as off-site owners may not provide guests with adequate instructions regarding waste disposal. To combat this trend, Haneda Airport has begun broadcasting multilingual warnings, and officials are currently considering new collection systems and potential penalties to manage unwanted luggage."

It's bad enough that normies do it, but it's awful when a cybersecurity company does.

crime: Rosenfeld crime network (1991)
A network of associations among suspects, victims, and/or witnesses involved in crimes in St. Louis in the 1990s. Data are derived from police records, via snowball sampling from five initial homicides. Left nodes are people, right nodes are crime events, and edges connect people to particular crimes events they were associated with. Metadata includes names, genders, and roles (suspects, victims, and/or witnesses).
This network has 1380 nodes…

This is the kind of unity we need to see among left-of-center candidates—everyone not on the billionaires' team. Like Saikat, I'll support Connie in the general election. I won't hide my disagreements with her, but fortunately most of them are much less relevant to federal office.

All assembled, new GPU and fans in.
As usual 5 minute POST times, one of the things I like least about server hardware. Plus actual hypervisor boot on top of that.
The GPU i swapped was a dual slot but lived in the left most slot on the mobo so i have an empty back panel port that I can eventually put a fan card in to try and suck more heat out.
The BMC does not like my 80mm fans, i need to figure out how to set the RPM thresholds so it doesn't think they're failed…

Corkboard covered surrounded by blue-painted wood has a row of mostly letter-size posters on the far left and a neat row of tacks on the bottom.

I left Northern Ireland to come here to play soccer in 1981. It was at the height of the troubles. When I left my mates called me a lucky bastard for getting to go live in America.
Last month I was home in Ireland for a wedding. The same people told me how sorry they were for me having to live here.

Days before Trump left office in 2021, the State Department broke ground on an $850 million construction project at its aging embassy in New Delhi.
By last fall, alongside work on smaller buildings, crews had dug a 200-foot-long pit for the project’s centerpiece:
a sleek edifice of glass and stone that was supposed to make the biggest U.S. mission in South Asia more “secure and resilient.”
In recent months, without public announcement, the U.S. government canceled that buil…

Cowboys’ 1st-Round Pick Gets Concerning New Update heavy.com/sports/nfl/dallas-co

Emma Raducanu returned to Andy Murray Arena for her second match in five hours with lingering doubts about her physical condition after slipping on the slick grass earlier in the day and hurting her left thigh.
By the time she had launched herself into consecutive backhand and forehand down-the-line winners to snatch an early break, that concern had dissipated.
What followed was one of her very best matches as she dismantled the talented 18-year-old Iva Jovic 6-2, 6-2 in front of…
