I need to invent a time machine, go back a decade in time or more, and tell myself that one can be a brilliant cryptographer and an even greater imbecile. What’s the point of being so great at something if you end up as such an unimpressive human in most other respects? This is why most well-balanced people focus instead on good work, but also on friendships, sports, health, family, art, culture, hobbies, travel, and especially understanding all the different parts of the world.

I'm back! Borked my laptop by upgrading #Ubuntu to the recent 24.04 beta. Looks like the upgrade process removed/disabled #AMD #GPU drivers, and for a while I was left with looking at a plain non-GUI shell, which required an actual real-life magnifying glass, because of my HiDPI display!
Now it's operational again with built-in drivers, but I still want to figure out how to bring the AMD 3-rd part drivers back and restore OpenCL support.

taking programming advice from people who use ruby should come with a warning
like "i use a language designed to make three line examples look good in a slide deck. this idea might not look as great without sugar."
or "this person took bdd seriously and belived running a eula though a regex to interpret tests was the height of engineering. beware of solutions in search of problems"

I guess "popular" is open to interpretation here, but I just mean all modern JavaScript frameworks *COMBINED* make up something like 3% of the web, and React is just the biggest sub-slice of that slice.
Contrast that with PHP, which is somewhere around 50% of the functional internet (bringing with it jQuery, in virtually all cases), and it's hard to take any argument based on React's market share even remotely seriously.

Thinking about the mental gymnastics required to say "React is the most popular; it won; React is king; there's no sense in choosing anything else" while *ALSO* staring at a mountain of data that shows PHP is like 20 times more popular than React.

The talent level of data scientists and data visualisation working at newspapers is *exactly* as high as those working at the biggest tech companies. Seriously. Anyone that doubts this, doesn't know what some of the data scientists at Big Tech did before they got to Big Tech. Talk to your coworkers more.
Great journalism wants to come out! Journalism that works for a 2024 world. I see flashes of it. Small teams doing long-form journalism, combining data, reporting, writing, and sharp editing.
