A friend of mine said the same thing when he was in town. His name is also David. There is a pattern here.

A cute, elderly, fawn-colored puggle is wearing a high visibility bright yellow Coyote Vest with punk rock-style spikes attached to it for protection. Her name is Grace Anne. She has large, floppy ears that feel like a soft brown velvet. She nearly looks like a puppy, but the white fur around her eyes and nose betrays her age. She is standing at the top of some grey-painted wooden stairs that lead down into a sunny patch of grass that is shaded by a few large out-of-frame pine trees. She is looking back towards the photographer while nervously licking her nose, unsure about this new outfit. At the bottom of the stairs there is a grey concrete landing and a wooden gate with black hinges swung open. The gate is painted the same color as the stairs.

On the vest, there is a row of spikes circling her neck and two parallel strips of spikes running long-ways down her back, slightly off-center. There is a third velcro strip running down the middle of her back, which can be used to add optional porcupine-y spines that are not present in the photo.

The photographer is standing on a wooden deck that is painted the same grey color and connected to the top of the stairs. He is encouraging Grace to scamper down the stairs and do her business, which she will eventually do.

Grace loved being outside on this deck. As she got older, she lost most of her senses, but her nose remained sharp to the very end. She would lie out here in the sun for hours, just sniffing around, occasionally barking at some smelled but unseen critter. Approximately two years after this photo was taken, Grace was 16 years old and her body started to give out all at once. We unfortunately had to put her down. A vet came to our home so we could say goodbye on her favorite deck.

A year later, our (now) 3 year old daughter occasionally asks about Grace: "Where's Gracie? Did she go home?"

She did.

You could prevent abuse of "overpowered" operators by havinf them consume limited resources that have to be replenished.

You could maybe tie this into CPU usage somehow too?

This may sound ridiculous but we got our small dog a "Coyote Vest" that made her look very into punk rock. It tripled as high visibility vest + some protection from bites + spikes to fight back.

I've wanted to build this forever, like async threaded audio "conversations" (or in the degenerate case just a sequence of spoken messages). Could call each micropod a "yap".

How do you like the prompter? I was thinking about getting that because it looks great but it's hard to trust random internet reviews nowadays.

Operational simplicity is a gift to you with Gary Bernhardt (Ship It! #62) Gerhard's transition to a senior engineer started 10 years ago, when he embraced the vim mindset, functional core & imperative shell, and was inspired to seek simplicity in his code & infrastructure. ...

Have you seen what Gary Bernhardt did to implement Execute Program? I feel like it's really up your alley.

Slightly more specialized form of that is errgroup.Group.

Go Playground - The Go Programming Language

The new json/v2 #golang stdlib package is still a proposal, but was merged yesterday behind a GOEXPERIMENT.

Two ways to play with it: 'gotip' and the Go Playground.

gotip:
$ go install golang.org/dl/gotip@latest
$ gotip download
$ GOEXPERIMENT=jsonv2 gotip doc encoding/json/v2

Playground example:

A screenshot of the Fiber Bundle wikipedia article which opens with inscrutable math gibberish, then tries to relate the math gibberish to a hairbrush. It does not help the reader to understand.

I think the mathematicians use wikipedia as a way to prank normal people.

This post is so very good that I'm kinda mad. Very on-brand.

Brad and Russ were already heroes of mine. I am still somehow surprised by the effort and absurdity of it all. Wow.

Also I will be stealing the name "goonzeep" for a future project please nobody take this from me.

Remember the death march to add Google+ integrations into every Google product no matter what and how well that ended for everyone?

Loving the gemini button on every single surface of gmail. Great job everyone.
