Via @phae, this story might be peak SF '23. It has everything! Entitlement. VC money. Hypocrisy (obvs). NIMBYs. It's only missing a "historic laundromat", which would have made it unassailable. The year is young.

CSS-Tricks is dying a slow and painful death. DO will either merge it into their own platform (like they did with scotch.io) or just let it run as is. Either way it's bad. Merging will hurt the brand and its integrity. If they just let it run, outdated content will eventually outweigh quality content.

Anyway, there is a gap to fill. I hope that we soon get another friendly, inclusive, high quality front end platform soon that makes you proud to contribute to and be part of it.

I just heard a song that I kind of want to share, but the message is a bit... dire? So instead I'll share this song, which has similar energy, but without the sense of the dire. Let's kick this day off.

“just because the Leopard 1A5 is old does not mean that it can’t be effective, once the decommissioned stock is refurbished. It is comparable with but superior to the Soviet-built T-72 tanks, which Ukrainian forces also use.

It has night-vision capability, a weapons stabilization system and it can drive backward, which cannot be said for all of the older battle tanks currently seeing action in Ukraine”

fire-while-moving is a particularly powerful capability

@ianbradbury @gulovsen @paninid @law in my experience this also occurs at very large institutions where the workforce is tech literate. Typically when the IT is so restrictive as to interfere with work. People stop asking permission.

@FeralRobots @pzmyers Geologists have found interstellar material mixed in with ocean sediment before.

That's how, for example, we know that there were supernovae relatively nearby to Earth 2.5 and 7.5 million years ago: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature17196 .

Cool science. Not aliens.

🆕 blog! “ChubbyCable USB-C Review”
★★★★☆

The good folk at ChubbyCable have sent me a trio of gorgeous USB-C cables to review. If, like me, your work colleagues always "borrow" your cables never to be seen again - these are a godsend. They're available in a range of colours - you can even design your own. You'll never have to say […]

“Before any of those criminal trials will take place, Mr. Trump is scheduled for a civil trial in New York in October. During the trial, the attorney general, Letitia James, will seek to bar him and three of his children from leading their family business, the Trump Organization, and to require him to pay a fine of around $250 million.

On Wednesday, Ms. James fired an opening salvo, arguing that a trial is not necessary to find that Mr. Trump and the other defendants inflated the value of their assets in annual financial statements, fraudulently obtaining favorable loans and insurance arrangements.

The fraud was so pervasive, she said in a court filing, that Mr. Trump had falsely boosted his net worth by between $812 million and $2.2 billion each year over the course of a decade.”

The Analogue Pocket finally did get here. The FAQ on the site says "Pocket is not designed to play copyrighted ROM files from the SD card slot."

That's a lie!
1. Install an OFFICIAL firmware update
2. Install the relevant openFPGA cores.
3. Toss your games in the relevant folders.

There are 3rd party utils that streamline setup even further

re: whose name you sell to the info-broker. My first instinct was to give him Nik. It seems like a betrayal out of context, but Sam's association with him is common knowledge to everyone including your bosses and the cops. It's the closest option to saying nothing at all.

And if you say anyone BUT Nik, you get the fucking Tower as your future card.

My new theory is that regardless of what happens to Ben in later updates, if you sell his name to the info-broker, it'll either falsely implicate Sam in one of Ben's crimes, or it'll get back to the miners, who then think that Sam is a scab.

A few days ago I said I strongly suspected that Ben, the seemingly-hostile miner, was going to have a face turn and weeeeeell, not quite. Not at all.

But now I'm even more curious about what's going on with him, because your future card in the tarot reading still gets markedly worse if you told the info-broker that you're working with him. In fact, the game treats it as bad as if you'd sold out Yao.
