Me watching some high fantasy shit: I would simply not be corrupted by the magical object. If it is actively harming you why don't you just put it down. Idiot Me receiving psychic damage 23 hours a day from my phone: Ouuughhhh OOUUuuwwwwaaaaaa ooaaaaghuuuuuhhhowwgahhhhh guuuuuwah

Pretty sure we're on the road to unrolling a blank paper in public being an arrestable offence

Have you ever considered that your PM is “vibe coding” you

How does one manage SSH in such situations?

I’ve never used such a setup so don’t have any good ideas for this.

This is Nube. She is a modern piano pawdigy. So good she can play Beethoven in her sleep. 14/10

I like how Studio Ghibli films are like, "Cool, a new monster friend!" and "A witch and her cat!" when you're a kid, and then "Do you ever think about your parents dying?" and "What if you're so burned out you can't do the thing you love anymore?" when you're an adult

Silly Reddit poll asking whether some inane behaviour is ADHD or high IQ

XKCD: on security. What actually happens when someone wants to gains access to an encrypted laptop is that they drug you and get it out of you instead of some super strong encryption preventing it.

There is some risk of course, but I usually rotate keys in maybe six months or so, all my accounts have 2FA, other measures etc. which help a bit

I had some incident losing access because one of my devices crashed so then I switched to the GitHub route for the convenience.

This reminded me of:

I think this is actually quite an important insight, and while I disagree that it should be called "imagination deprivation", you should read the whole piece and come to your own conclusions.

In the way constraints open creative doors, reduced external stimulation fires creative engines. 1/-

Seriously someone should look into this

Modified edit of an xkcd comic. Two people are talking, one person walks on screen. One says "Our field has been struggling with this problem for years" The person who walks on screen says "Struggle no More! I'm here to solve it with DEPENDENT TYPES!" holding up a computer.

The original speaker says "You don't say."

PL research be like

Picard to Riker: "I didn't think orthopedic shoes would help" "But i stand corrected" Riker facepalms.

A child’s toy car parked in one of the parking spots for my building

Saw this toy car in one of the parking spots in my building. Going by parking skills alone, the kid might grow up to be a BMW driver someday

The Untastic Mr. Fitz (@UnFitz) on twitter: "Buddha: Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Me taking notes: Buddha says make sure you give the poison to the OTHER guy"

everyone he wants to have a conversation with is dead and now nobody talks to him

sometimes the online science people have a very specific topic they are completely wrong about but also super vocal about when it's in the discourse.

makes me wonder what my confidently-wrong-due-to-obvious-personal-issue topic is.

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

I will not go quietly into that night! I will BITCH and MOAN and be SO IRRITATING

Peter B Parker introducing ADHD to you xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Peter: They can DO THINGS exceptionally well and inhumanely fast! Watch this ADHD: I can't do it on command Peter: They can't do it on command

Separate keys for each device. Once created, it’s added to GitHub. And then on the new device, I use ssh-import-id to “sync” all my other keys.

CRISPR as a microbial immune system In 2003, Mojica wrote the first paper suggesting that CRISPR was an innate microbial immune system. The paper was rejected by a series of high-profile journals, including Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Molecular Microbiology and Nucleic Acids Research, before finally being accepted by Journal of Molecular Evolution in February, 2005.[3][4]

TIL the original paper describing CRISPR, by Francisco Mojica, was rejected by 4 journals and took 2 years to be published

Can't now, I'm turning a new leaf.
