Every morning, for the past six months or so, I write down my β€œCold Harbor” task for the day. Then I guesstimate how many pomodoros it’ll take me to finish.

Why? Because The Work is Mysterious And Important.

lol jk it’s cause I have a heaping bowl-full of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, so I must gamify my entire life to get shit accomplished.

Over top shot of my desk. Laptop, earbuds, a cup and a notebook that reads "the work is mysterious and important."
Photo of my notepad open&10;&10;3/13/26&10;&10;Cold Harbor:&10;Finish Parking Map and send it to Rick. Ask for feedback. &10;&10;Pomodoros: 6&10;&10;Six circles. Two are filed in.

imagine for example, that you wish to build versions with optional SVE, because vectors good. as far as i can tell, to do that, i have to know which version you are targeting because i cannot sniff it fully. why do i have to know? because on aarch64, you specify optional features with -march=target+feat1+feat2. how do i fill in target? or am i supposed to just build for the 18 different arm base targets and for each of those all the optional features?

i do not think so.

Omg, this reminds me of something my nephew said a few years ago. I was really going through it at the time, so I came down to Florida to visit family.

I ask my 4 year old nephew what he's been up to and he said:

"Getting hair cuts and crying."

As someone going through a break up, I never felt something so hard in my life lmao.

Happy Fridayβ€”I cut my hair. I think it looks pretty good, eh? I want it to get longer on top and keep it super short on the sides. I also considered shaving it all off.

Me side profile showing off my hair cut. I got earbuds in. Wearing a black t-shirt. Sitting outside on the patio.

Striving to keep PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) in the face of the immense disconnects from reality of the US regime of incompetence, corruption and delusion. Birds help a bit.

Today a Purple Finch (female), a common winter visitor in our area. These can be difficult to see and to ID. My mantra is start with the bill, look for the eye-patch and eyebrow plus mottling. As always Merlin App is a great help.

#BirdsOfMastodon #BirdsOfFediverse #BirdPhotography #DarkTable #PurpleFinch #NoWar #NoICE #NoGOP

A fairly stout brown bird with a short strong (finch) bill for seeds. It has a nice eyebrow and an eye patch.  The chest and underpants are mottled brown and light tan.  The wings appear darker brown but with some mottling.  This is a female Purple Finch.  I rarely see, or more likely recognize the males.  There are two subspecies, so this is likely the eastern.

We went from "Trump doesn't start wars" to "send your kids to die for oil reserves" pretty fast.

This is the issue that Trump will lose support over for real. There's a large faction on the right who are sick of endless wars. You ask them to send their kids to die, and they'll sit out future elections.

I’ve never used any of the LLM chatbots, avoided them even in the early days, because they had all the hallmarks of a major cognitive and psychological hazard from the very beginning.

β€œI’m not gonna use this shit until I can be sure it won’t mess me or others up” is an entirely reasonable position to take, but for some reason it makes even those who are otherwise lukewarm on the tech quite angry.
