Look, I don't think having FB on your résumé is a fatal sign – I mean, you left, so you've got that going for you – but it's peak-booker to fail to realise that it's at least a bit of a black mark rather than a basis for lecturing others.

Tired of people that respond to certain (alarming) things happening with something like, "This is really no different than [something that operates at a harmless or simply human scale]."

Quantitative differences can become qualitative differences. You can breathe in air that is humid, you can't breathe underwater. A small amount of a poison may not kill you, but enough of it will. Humans doing a thing may be fine (or tolerable), but unleashing machines to do it at vastly larger scales?

It seems like more and more tech companies are moving away from the .io TLD…

#gitea and #nexo are two examples.

Pdftk is very useful and handy, but every time I use it, I feel like something is wrong. Here, after several wrong incantations, I get it to rotate the even pages of a document 180 degrees.

pdftk Scan_20230321.pdf rotate 1-6evensouth output test.pdf

And if you put a space between 6 and "evensouth", it does something slightly different.

Sometimes I want command line APIs replaced with some sort of programming API maybe combined with a REPL/notebook interface.

Woke up with this song playing in my head for some reason, so I'm going with it. XTC's "Dear God".

CW for apostasy.
