Eyewitnesses say Iranian government forces have begun opening fire,
apparently with automatic weapons and at times seemingly indiscriminately,
on unarmed protesters.
Hospital workers say protesters had been coming in with pellet injuries but now arrive with gunshot wounds and skull fractures.
One doctor called it a “mass-casualty situation.”
Despite the communications blockade, a recurring image has made its way out of Iran:
rows and rows of body bags.

Changing personel is a recurring theme in #StarTrek. But knowing who was serving when is always a good subject for a #TrekTriviaTuesday question.

Maybe this question has been asked before and maybe it hasn't - but to preface - I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. I have (in a previous, gainfully employed life that I find I am missing less and less outside of the recurring paycheck) liaised with a good number of legal folks - both corporate and external counsel facing types.
And I had been involved - at least in the periphery - of some investigations of allegations of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) on a corporate lapto…

Hierarchies 😩... One of the biggest recurring time-consuming issues I sometimes encounter is making decisions about _where_ to put some (new or exisiting) code/feature, i.e. in which package, new or existing, considering: functional fit (topic), structural fit (pre-existing data format conventions with the rest of a package), and if possible, not introducing new dependencies as a result of new feature... Sometimes these three aspects are mutually blocking each other and it's so time cons…

There have been few regularly recurring disappointments in my teaching career quite like realizing yet again that an otherwise good student can't figure out how to make it all the way through the process of finding a book in the university library catalogue, locating a physical copy on the shelf, and, finally, checking it out.
Todoist FTW.
Several years ago we had smoky pies and rolls for Thanksgiving because we put off cleaning the ovens until it was too late.
I created a recurring Todoist task to clean the ovens on the 3rd Sunday of November. Ever since then we’ve had pristine ovens and smoke free cooking every Thanksgiving.
Collette appreciates that a holiday for which most of the tasks are hers, she doesn’t have to worry and the ovens are ready to go.
A recurring issue:
Source of Truth vs Point of Truth with many-system setups.
Imagine having separate
- issue tracking (e.g. JIRA)
- time tracking (e.g. Toggl)
- development tracking (e.g. GitLab)
- daily team sync (e.g. Confluence)
- weekly sync with stakeholders (...)
Without diligent manual labor or a lot of handcrafted automation, those keep getting out of sync.
My very first programming projects when I started self-teaching around 15 years ago were about accounting. I was unhappy with keeping track of expenses in a physical notebook, and the spreadsheet I made was also very limited. And existing #FOSS solutions like #GnuCash felt too weird for my use case and its…

"The case that turned the justices into art critics"
Andy Warhol would Warhol-ize Goldsmith’s photo and produce an image of Prince as a music icon. Decades later, these two contrasting portraits of Prince would wind up at the Supreme Court, with Goldsmith claiming copyright infringement and Warhol’s foundation claiming “fair use.”
Given the record-setting layoff pace of 2025, the pressing etiquette question of this time:
What is the respectful waiting period after a highly valued colleague is fired before you can delete your recurring 1:1 meeting from your calendar?
Joking, not joking.

I'm hopeful that the current RAM crisis will end up tanking demand for other hardware to the extent that I'll be able to pick up a future Zen6 chip and AM5 board (or at least a 5950X) for less than they'd otherwise go for. Let's arbitrage this shit to our advantage! (I will shortly have a recurring CPU-bound task that will benefit greatly from doubling my core count or other improvements, and I do have 2x16GB DDR5 SoDIMMs that I could press into service with an adapter in a n…
Our collective intellectual culture seems to have calcified around a cohort of thinkers who achieved prominence roughly ten years ago and have been coasting ever since.
This isn't about Malcolm Gladwell specifically, though he'll appear as a recurring character.
The Gladwell formula, if you haven't encountered it, goes something like this:
take a subject that seems simple,
complicate it with research that seems to undermine common sense,
then re…
