Just did a very red blooded, manly and completely non-toxic thing, split some logs lying in my garage for firewood. Properly with an axe.
Glad to be able to do that after struggling with lower back pains for some time. Feel elated :-)

New Crisis Hotline for CEOs? - Ken Klippenstein
"New York state is considering creating a special hotline just for CEOs to report perceived threats, CNN reported this morning. What a nice reminder of just how responsive government can be when it comes to corporate executives."
Incredible. https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/new-crisis-hotline-for-ceos

A nice article about @lispwitch's incredible guile-emacs project on LWN https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1001645/a8f6f33c9e1e40ca/
Here's a screenshot of guile-emacs working on my computer with my config and theme in 2015! It worked even then, though it was slow, but this was because it had stopped before focusing on optimizations which were known and could be done.

I've got a new song for my Christmas playlist. I stumbled across "Electronic Santa Claus" on my drive to work.

It's by "Blazer Force", which is apparently an alias for a Bret McKenzie, who I am not familiar with.

We discuss the many ways in which people, ranging from journalists to civil society to all sorts of disciplines outside of computer vision, have uncovered various harms that arise from it, and proposed many mitigation strategies. We cover everything from research from those within computer vision to the labor movement.
Believe it or not, I signed up to do this either when I was still at Google or right after I was fired. Started working on it with Remi who was in our team at the time.

I'm taking some time off for the holidays. I am very, very tired. Maybe coding during the weekends because you're too busy running the company during the work week is not a very sustainable strategy? I've been stuck indoors since September...

Damn, do you think the reason why Siri hasn't progressed in a decade is because of Google paying Apple? Like, is there an unspoken agreement there?

Pet peeves around word pronunciation always feels vaguely classist because it’s never about how rich people pronounce things.
Oh you hate how people say “Axe” instead of ask? Well I hate how you say “vase” like you’re a 18th century British art dealer. Grow up.

`paint-order` also works on HTML text if `-webkit-text-stroke` is used to add a stroke.Both properties work in all major browsers (despite one being prefixed); Chrome was the last to add support for `paint-order` on HTML text, in release 123 earlier this year.

Move Over Influencers, Here Come Curators - by Ana Andjelic:
"Curation gives even mundane objects value by connecting them with a point of view, heritage, a subculture or purpose that makes them stand out in the vortex of speed, superficiality, and newness."
A bright spot for web— Interest in human curation is on the rise, and the art hasn’t been monetized to death. More curators, less corporate algorithms. Let’s go! https://andjelicaaa.substack.com/p/move-over-influencers-here-come-curators
