To my northern neighbours suffering from the current heat wave.

I lived in approx 38C with 90% humidity for 20 years, and I have a few pieces of advice.

1. Don't do anything fast that you can do slow.
2. Umbrellas aren't just for rain. They work for sun, too.
3. Sweat is your friend. Drink lots of liquid, eat and drink things that trigger sweating.

4. Cold showers and baths trigger your body to warm up. Room temp showers work best - and don't bother drying off.

Finally added this notice to my website "About" page:

Urgh. Racket's Rhombus adds a +93k line commit for an AI-generated HTML parser https://github.com/racket/rhombus/commit/520080743086ed14e5b6f4a22931333bd9e8f097

There's no way someone reviewed all 93k of those lines carefully. That's just vibes I guess.

I dunno. I'd already felt like "who is Rhombus really for" but this seems even more meh now

I’m not sure how many people realize macOS has simple file-level version control if you turn on Time Machine: you can just select a file and click “Browse Time Machine Backups”, and you’ll get a list of all the versions of that file still stored. You can restore versions side-by-side.

Our collective sense of entitlement is getting in the way of doing the work to get things improved.

"But they should _____"
Sure but they is we.

"But nobody should go hungry"
Okay and? HOW DO WE DO THAT? Let's build it! It's not just going to happen! Government isn't a magical provider! It's us! Sometimes complaining fixes things but mostly small things.

"They should run the busses all night."
Okay so let's work the system to get it right.

Things cost money. Systems take care to build and maintain. They don't just happen. Sometimes trade-offs have to be made.

If it is I've been writing books incorrectly for 20+ years.

THAT SAID, if you're editing the book as you go along keeps you from actually finishing the book, stop editing as you go along and finish the book. Editing can always wait.

I don't believe for a second that anybody who voted for Brexit did so for any other reason than bigotry. They may try to rationalise the decision, but fundamentally they voted for an outcome that was explicitly presented as "get the foreigners out"

I was there. I saw the ads. I followed the debates

I'm still angry at the betrayal, how EU/EEA migrants were treated, but I'm angrier at the fact that the behaviour of the British towards immigrants and migrants since shows that, overall, Brexit was absolutely about making immigrants suffer and leave and had nothing to do with anything else

It's a decade since Brexit, so a decade since I left the UK, after having lived there for about 20 years

Putting my rights to the vote was enough of a red line for me to scarper but, given the British tendency to vote for radical change, I expected the outcome

Haven't returned since, even to visit

Meta uses keystroke logger on employee laptops to train AI. AI exposes keystroke data to end users. An outcome nobody could have possibly seen coming.

As a former ex-Meta employee, I have no official comment on this event, however my unofficial comments are as follows:

* Oh.
* My.
* God.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

(Apologies if I'm late to the party, I've been at sea.)
