Textures, however, are infinite, because textures are shapes. You are only constrained in texture by geometry, which has no limits of potential shapes. Each shape is its own flavor, and I personally recommend eating foods with the texture of "Jessen's Icosahedron"

Friends, about a month ago I posted about the value of visible reviews for books in places like goodreads, storygraph, or wherever you buy your books

You DELIVERED. I haven't read them (I promised!!) but already, the fact that there are visible reviews for POST in these platforms has translated into:

- several podcast interview invites
- a leader telling me they ordered POST for their team after seeing it in their recs
- multiple tech media review copy requests for the book

So I guess it's platform over principles?

Leaving Twitter was always the right move. Returning to X when the things that made you leave Twitter in the first place are all still present (and actively thriving) is nothing short of complicity.

Pathetic.

As it happens, I was the stay-at-home dad while our daughter was growing up, and Krissy was the one with the stable job and benefits. I really enjoyed being able to spend time with my kid as she was growing up, and the work I was doing easily fit around her needs. It was a no-brainer for us.

106 years ago today, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, adding to the US Constitution the guarantee that the right of citizens to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

That victory took 72 years, from Seneca Falls in 1848 to Nashville in 1920. Generations of women fought for it, joined by men who lent their votes and voices as allies; many of those women did not live to cast a ballot.

fellow #OpenSource library maintainers: Github is a great resource for finding usages of your API in public code, to see how (and if) people are using it. but because people don't know how to manage dependencies, you'll find a million clumsily vendored copies of your example code calling it instead of actual applications. do you have any tips for using Github search in a way which gives you better signal and excludes all that noise?

just learned about the amtrak Turboliner.

they had a shitty fucked up network, so obviously rather than fix that, they just put a faster train on it.

which then couldn't move any faster because the network was still fucked.
