This post is making the rounds but I can't pinpoint from where. Anyone know where the traffic is coming from?
Anyway, I'm never not excited when I notice someone is reading something I wrote. No better feeling, truly. So, thank you. It makes my day.

The reason why GAMM … are pushing things like crypto, then the blockchain, and now virtual reality and artificial intelligence is because those technologies require a metric fuckton of computing power to operate.«It’s essentially taking old IBM concepts and applying it in today’s world.

That fact may be devastating for the earth, indeed it is for our mental health, but it’s wonderful news for the four storefronts selling all the juice.”

Our definition of violence is too narrow. We reserve the phrase "violence is never the answer," for when poor people act out, but never for the state-sanctioned violence they're acting out against.
I wonder why that is.

✏️ New post: Remember when the code in your editor was exactly the same code delivered to the browser? Now there's usually a build process in between, and that can get ... complicated.
Do we still need that? Can we do modern web development completely #buildless?

Still discovering new shell tricks.
TIL: Substitutions.
`cmd <(cat file)` invokes `cmd` with the first parameter being a named pipe (e.g. `/dev/fd/22`) which contains the contents of `file`.
Example use-case: You wanna diff two files, but they are binary so need disassembling

President Biden will not stop working for the country he dearly loves until his last day in office.
Whereas the GOP will return Monday after six weeks off and the chatter has already begun about shutting down the government on 9/30/24.
Vote accordingly.
