Unpopular take from a developer: all AI is a scam, all of it, and you should not use it for anything ever

Things I did not expect to still have in my pocket when going through security at a Primus show. Oopsie!

(For the uninitiated, it’s a ten-gigabit ethernet fiber optic adapter)

Maybe the DC parade would’ve had more than 10k people show up if they’d offered everyone an extra hour in the ball pit

Always a good time when you discover a feature you should add to your work app (like support for a new image format), only to discover you already did it two years ago and just forgot

The biggest surprise about the 4chan hack is that it took as long as it did β€” if they really hadn’t patched anything in a decade

Brief Fark outage planned tonight after midnight ET (more likely 1 am ET) lasting up to an hour. It won't be for letting it all hang out.

Fark starts its 26th year today. Some of us have been doing this half our lives. I don't really know what to think of that.

Maybe "Super Bowl LIX" isn't the one to keep using roman numerals for.

What's the client side look like? The setup we use here doesn't need a streaming server, the AppleTV just talks SMB or NFS directly to the NAS. Much simpler, but doesn't work for everyone's use case.

We've now reached a point where OpenVMS ships with a newer version of Perl (5.40) than most Linux distros (5.36).

This week’s win: getting a program that took 10 hours and 100 GB of memory to run slimmed down to 6 and 22.

OK, so the video limit here is 60 seconds. So much for the 65 second timelapse of Monday's snowfall I was gonna repost here. Since we're supposed to get more Friday, I'll do another timelapse this weekend.

Today I managed to be proud, scared, and disgusted all at once by one blob of Javascript I had to write to work around a bug in Safari.
