Twenty-two U.S. states are either on the brink of an economic recession or already in one,
according to a new analysis from Moody's Analytics.
Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi shared the findings,
saying that states making up nearly a third of the national gross domestic product
are either in or at high risk of recession,
with another third just holding steady, and the remaining third growing.

Nope, just somebody in a latex outfit. Disappointing.
Our realities are constantly diverging, and never completely shared. And we •want• that! It’s important for people to bring different experiences, different ways of seeing and thinking.
One person understands climate science. Another person understands the subculture of Southern Iowa. A third person knows what it’s like to live as a Black person in this society — and so on, to infinity. All these perspectives matter, and nobody gets to hold all infinity of them at once.

Cars and RVs surged into Yosemite national park throughout the weekend,
as visitors from around the world came to enjoy the crisp autumn weather,
undeterred by a lack of park services and the absence of rangers.
National parks have largely been kept open through the lapse in US federal funding that has left workers furloughed and resources for the parks system more scarce than usual.
But as the US government shutdown enters its third week and legislators warn that the…

Day 24: Yvonne Adhiambra Owuor
Owuor wrote "Dust", a novel that follows a scattered family's struggles with intergenerational trauma through a vivid tapestry of Kenyan history. Not only is it full of carefully rendered complex characters who both deal with their own issues and who are entangled in larger threads, but it also depicts a series of deeply personal reactions to and interactions with historical moments that give a gestalt sense of the painful history of Kenya both during and after the colonial era.
It's a gripping read despite not having a traditional suspense structure, where in the last third of the book every chapter seems to be tying up one more loose thread you had almost forgotten about, only to leave a little more still to discover, right up to the end. Owuor's skill at constructing such a detailed and complex plot and especially in navigating it to a satisfying conclusion is impressive, and her depictions of human foibles and struggles in the face of grief and not-wanting-to-know are relatable.

Flip side of this: ~3 years ago, I got automated calls from “RBC Visa”. I ignored them.
Then my card stopped working.
So I called the number on the back of my card and said as much.
The agent gave me a hard time: “So you JUST IGNORED our calls about this?”
“No; I didn’t know they were you calling.”

New on blog: "How we incidentally uncovered a 7-year old bug in gentoo-ci"
"""
“Gentoo CI” is the service providing periodic linting for the Gentoo repository. It is a part of the Repository mirror and CI project that I’ve started in 2015. Of course, it all started as a temporary third-party solution, but it persisted, was integrated into Gentoo Infrastructure and grew organically into quite a monstrosity.
It’s imperfect in many ways. In particular, it has only some degree of error recovery and when things go wrong beyond that, it requires a manual fix. Often the “fix” is to stop mirroring a problematic repository. Over time, I’ve started having serious doubts about the project, and proposed sunsetting most of it.
Lately, things have been getting worse. What started as a minor change in behavior of Git triggered a whole cascade of failures, leading to me finally announcing the deadline for sunsetting the mirroring of third-party repositories, and starting ripping non-critical bits out of it. Interesting enough, this whole process led me to finally discover the root cause of most of these failures — a bug that has existed since the very early version of the code, but happened to be hidden by the hacky error recovery code. Here’s the story of it.
