Not only will I not ever do this, when I am traveling and have a whole hotel bed to myself, I sleep on the same side of the bed as I do at home. If I'm ever sharing a hotel bed with someone who is not my spouse, say, in a wacky "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" sort of situation, I will still sleep on my side of the bed and if they don't like it they can sleep on the floor.

This is such a crucial milestone for the open social web.

Around here, we build Bridgy, not walls. And with this coalition of incredible organizations and individuals, we're going to break a whole lot more walls down together 🤝🏼💪🏼

Watch out for turtles — it’s that time of year. Found this snapping turtle laying eggs at the roadside near the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and watched from my car. Drew her later with GraphGear 1000 pencils, Blu-Tack, and blenders. She knew that spot long before the road was there.

Just once I’d like to see journalists and politicians show at least a grain of scepticism about the claims being made by “AI” vendors. Just once.

Just because anthropic styles their reports to look like scientific or academic papers doesn’t make them sound or credible.

I'm working on one of those brush pen drawings I mentioned above, and it reminded me of a card I made back in 2011. So I dug it out of my archive and decided to share it here.

I made this card for my stepson before he took a lengthy trip over the summer. I was trying to be silly and sincere in a way that wouldn't necessarily embarrass anybody too much.

Soundtrack for this blast from the past:

Gnome Web/Epiphany crashing seems to be because of a fundamental incompatibility with snap/flatpak?

(There's a rabbit hole of related issues, that's just the top of the chain.)

This is why desktop Linux has the reputation it has. The flagship browser engine for one of the main desktop environments seems to have fundamental issues with being run in the container environments all of the major distributions have adopted as standard for app distribution 🤷‍♂️

So, is -webkit-text-stroke broken everywhere it's implemented or is this something that just affects browsers on Linux? (Tested in Firefox and Chromium. Tried to test in WebKit/Gnome Web but just discovered that the webkit rendering process crashes whenever I try to open the dev tools, which is disconcerting.)

Seeing nerds get in bed with rabid military supremacists over the cancellation of a continuation of one of the most blatant military propaganda TV series in recent history is a mood

I mean, I love Stargate SG-1 as much as the next nerd, but it was already borderline after 2001. I don’t see how you could make it work today without betraying its military supremacism

This. 100%.

It’s all intersectional. Every single injustice that’s happening to every single marginalized group is bound to the rest. To suggest that one is more important than the others is subjective and self-serving.

It’s okay to champion a single cause. Even give it most of your energy. Like Adrianna says, please avoid telling anyone else how to be an activist or where they should commit their own energy. That dilutes all of our efforts.

We’re in this together. In solidarity.

Sorry people were up in your grille, @skinnylatte.

I was laid off last month due to cost reduction so I used this unexpected « opportunity » to give a boost on the renovation of my house. Doing everything by myself allows me to keep it on a decent budget but I will need to go back to work in a few months 👀

I’m a software engineer with 17 years of experience on distributed systems. I’ve been writing Rust for 6 years (prior to that PHP/NodeJs/Go). I have a good experience with CI/CD, DevOps, Databases & IaaS. Very much opened to learning embedded systems.
Open to remote part-time contract or employee status (max 4 days/week) with occasional travel.

So it's out there that - with great sadness - I'm winding down my training business & looking for a new challenge

But it's not quite over yet. I have 3 *final* workshops for developers (and, in one case, non-devs, too) coming up - all on special offer 2day

Easily the second most important skill for a developer.

Finally, July 7-9, my flagship 3-day Code Craft workshop - 17 years in the making - goes on its final voyage.

I appreciate this one will require your boss's approval. But it's HALF-PRICE until midnight tonight if you book online if you can expense it.

One last word: as I confess in my blog post, I'm in a real hole. No point pretending otherwise.

If you register for any of these workshops, not only will I be delighted to see you, but I'll also be very grateful.

Will train for food!

It would be really lovely to finish this chapter of my career playing to some packed houses

"this is one of the smartest engineers in the field BECOMING dumb right before our eyes. That ought to scare you!"

That's the "AI" issue in a nutshell. We all rely on each other, on each other's skills and abilities. And we're just destroying capability left and right.

@glyph @hynek There's something to be said for AI code lacking intent; I think of it as almost a "literary quality". A good codebase gives me a good idea of how the program works through reading it, due to the intent the programmer had when writing the codebase; much like a good book develops characters, themes and concepts well. When I read AI code, I don't see the kind of intent that makes further development easy, instead I see half-formed hacks upon half-formed hacks
