Every morning, for the past six months or so, I write down my “Cold 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.

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.

okay so it seems i can get the major version. the problem is that all the minor versions matter too.

#define clang_version "20.1.8 "

dear clang, why is there a space in your version number?

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 Friday—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.

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.

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.

They grab product X from the fridge, snap open the can, pour their drink in a cup with ice and set it near the cup of coffee and bottle water.

"Product X: The offical soft drink of the home office drink trifecta"

Cut to manager asking person a question but the person is too busy enjoying product X.

The commerical would open with the 15min until meeting chime from your calendar.

Person is running around, getting their desk prepared for the workday—lighting a candle, taking out their notebook, realizing their laptop is almost dead to plugging it in and hearing the chime for that.

Lots of sensory elements while preparing.

Then they sit down, 1 minute before the Zoom call. *what am I missing?... ah yes!*

If I were the marketing director for a soft drink company, I'd position my product to be an official drink of the home office drink trifecta.

Has no one done this yet??

More to the point though in this metaphor where you're getting a potentially-infected scrape at work, we are living in the pre-germ-theory age of AI. We are aware that it might be dangerous sometimes, but we don't know to whom or why. We are attempting to combat miasma with bloodletting right now, and putting the miasma-generator in every home before we know what it's actually doing.
