One of my team members got a bunch of these that are English on one side and Chinese in the other. They got so many that they gave me some to have in my office, too.

Hopefully no Scots are offended at the omission of “and VII”.

Sounds like the sort of thing someone from the state on the east side of the Red River of the North would say!

Go to Palin’s house and wait on the front porch. Should be able to see Putin coming from there.

Yay! Glad to hear of success!

Virtualization was not enabled on her machine for some reason. There was one reboot required before we got to that point. Mac didn’t even want a reboot and VS Code will go get Docker and install it for you.

I learned that Docker on Windows is not as nice as on Mac when trying to help a colleague last week. There were BIOS settings to look at, which you can’t do while on Zoom. Suuuuper easy on Mac though.

The death penalty is immoral in all circumstances. That republicans seem to have turned executions into a fetish is something I am at a loss for words to describe.

A rectangular Tupperware container filled with a dozen square bar cookies. The bars are golden brown, filled with fresh blueberries, and the topping and crust contain rolled oats.

Yesterday I went and picked blueberries at a local farm. Tonight I made jammy fruit bars with them. Soooo good!

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

This was illuminating in about 250 different ways; too much to track but @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social somehow on top of it all

Guessing you’ve classified a “School of Mines” as a “Tech” for Colorado and South Dakota?

And that’s before you even get into being able to adapt on the fly to student difficulties you haven’t seen before and helping them keep moving. Even taking time-tested activities from an established book can’t prepare you for everything students will throw at you as they work.

Yeah, I showed Oscar how to get an ARM64 build to automate and he figured out how to streamline it so certain things that are required for that platform but not Intel are included only in the ARM64 build.

As someone who clung to emacs for a long time, definitely use VSCode.

Also, consider just using a devcontainer with Docker image. Then you don’t have to worry about homebrew or virtual environments. Felt like magic the first time I got it to work, and @oscarlevin.com polished it up.

Oh, we’re 100% in for a shitshow, because it’s not just Madison but all of the Universities of Wisconsin that are doing it this week. I will consider it a small miracle if I get paid next week.

Oh, hey, it’s us this week!

This is the week of “can’t do anything”. The cluster that will be WorkDay goes live next Monday, and I can’t wait to see what chaos we face.

I guess in that regard, I’m lucky that an adoption agency was careless to the point of stupidity. If the YOLO Court decides to give in to Trump’s absurd interpretation of the 14th Amendment, there will be pushes to make it retroactive. I know nothing of my biodad, so maybe I become stateless?

Like the author, I’m an adoptee via a closed adoption. ND is one of the states with restrictive laws on access to original birth certificates. I do know the almost certain identity of my biomom (and she knows my name), but that was against my will and truly by accident and coincidence for her.

The skeet quoted mentions turnout rate, which is a ratio. Here all we’ve got is the numerator for each ratio.

I literally stand in front of my university math students every semester now and point out to them that I probably know four proofs of the thing I have asked them to prove, so getting dozens or hundreds of copies of those proofs from them is not for my benefit.

A woman on a teal bicycle rides in front of the Moulin Rouge in Paris. The woman is wearing distinctive sunglasses. The photographer has panned with the woman so she is mostly sharp while the background reflects motion blur.

Two passengers sit on separate benches on one of the historic platforms at Baker Street Station for the London Underground. The Baker Street roundel is at the right, and the signage indicates the platform serves the Circle and Hammersmith and City Lines.

A 'poster' entitled 'mathematical formulas'. it is full of errors, inconsistencies and weirdnesses, like 'statiatics', 'primeter'(which is under 'Pythagoras' Theorem') 'middian'. It looks plausible at first sight, but is nonsensical.

This is what #ChatGPT responds when you ask it to 'make a poster for a maths classroom with all the key formulas on it that a student aged 11-14 in the UK might need'. As with most #AI responses, it looks plausible but the more you look, the worse it gets..
What's your (least) favourite part?

The interior of a modern, covered bridge. The walls are transparent and casting the colors of the walls on the floor as the light streams through.

The bar for me is so low that if it actually generated exactly six matrices and all six were 3x3, I’d consider that more accurate than I had expected.

A black and white photograph of the dome and east end of St Paul’s Cathedral with a moody sky behind. Modern architecture frames the sides of the image with reflections of the dome on both sides.
