I’ll second all of this. PHP is a great example of how great people can do great work with flawed tools. And aren’t all of our tools flawed? Isn’t all good engineering this way? Isn’t the last mile of all truly good work a human solving the problems they have with the choices they have? Shouldn’t we tip our cap to every human who sees the work through that arduous last mile? I certainly do, especially this week.

Are you ducking kidding me?
I had ONE more thing to do before I wrapped up a dozen different things and I need to read ONE ducking PDF to get the ONE figure I need. And now I'm being DOC-BLOCKED by Adobe. Typical.

CorridorKey 2.0 was released. (local ML model for chromakey greenscreen removal.)
this time a friendly machine learning expert helped train the model with a bunch of useful video ML lore, giving the model some semantic, spatial, and temporal info per pixel. training was apparently on local hardware? maybe some cloud model was used in coding assistance, unclear.

RE Strange Unix Mail messages:
Once (1980s) my local Unix mail folder got trashed. I didn't know this until I started the Unix Mail client and it promptly exited with the baffling message:
No mail for ubluit
I had no clue what was going on until I read the message aloud to somebody.

Zürich war mir zu teuer (14 € für ein mittleres Baguette auf die Hand), sodass ich schnell das Weite gesucht habe und an den Walensee gefahren bin, leider ohne Badezeug.
Und Vaduz? Um 17 Uhr werden dort größtenteils die Bürgesteige hochgeklappt. Dort habe ich genau ein Foto gemacht.
Ach, und der Vollständigkeit halber muss ich erwähnen, dass im Dorfladen oben, wo ich untergebracht bin, in so 'nem richtigen Tante-Emma-Laden, ein Mövenpick-Eis (900 ml) 14 € kostet.
