This is the time of year when I try escaping into VR. Also I got a sun lamp for the morning, which is the thing that actually helps.

Trump eyes privatizing United States Postal Service during second term The USPS was a target during his first administration, and it might now be on the chopping block due to financial losses

The USPS is not, and should not be, a business, it is a critical public service

Oh, and the top ads on duckduckgo are Senior.com and Ebay.com (Google suggests Pedifix.com and DrugSuppyStore.com [sic])

Now that I'm middle-aged, it's bad enough that I have to wear medical devices to offset my years of Bad Foot Posture, but they're *also* called Visco-GEL Little ToeBuddy.

Albertsons gives up on Kroger merger and sues the grocery chain for failing to secure deal Albertsons is giving up on its merger with Kroger a day after it was rejected in two courts and it is suing the grocery chain, saying it didn’t do enough to secure regulatory approval of the $24.6 bil...

I'm glad this deal is dead because I would have lived in an illegal(?) grocery monopoly, but suing each other for failing to do it is so funny

The next time I want to commit a crime, I'll sign a contract with my co-conspirators and sue them for breach if we get caught

BREAKING: A judge has blocked Kroger’s $24.6 billion merger with Albertsons.

The judge sided with the FTC, finding that the deal would reduce competition for US grocery shoppers.

I love the sound design of 90s computer games: realistic sounds dropped in place of older bleeps+bloops, amateur voice acting and primitive 3D. My favorite is Might and Magic and my favorite of those is the shopkeepers.

“How ya doin, how ya doin” is a household word around here.

A good thing about having Vimium, a high keyboard repeat rate, and a cat is that you find out it is possible to open 6 new tabs with one key press.

Prompted by thinking about the open-world lineage
Shadow of the Colossus -> Dragon's Dogma -> Breath of the Wild -> Death Stranding, Eldin Ring.

I wish Deadly Premonition fit in there but the only commonalities are (1) Japanese (2) big empty world (3) jank.

Google Maps Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Did you know you can visit the real-life Milk Barn from Deadly Premonition?

It's a burger place called Herfy's, which is a fun place to visit if you like the vibe of Korean-American fast food places (I do, fond memories of grad school).

This is a big deal.

Node v22.12 is the first LTS release that unflags require(ESM).

This is superb work by @joyeecheung.bsky.social 👍

🎉 require(esm) has been unflaged in v22.12.0! We are also planning to unflag it on v20.x later if it goes well in v22.x.

As before please try it out and report any bugs you find. (hopefully none, but with how wild the module loading edge cases can be, one never knows!).

If this is a JS file, it’s probably because
const x = require(…)
binds require to a commonjs global. It’s supposed to check for locals first but it looks like that failed.

For those outside linguistics:

1. Linguists don’t actually talk about parsing much.
2. As soon as you start modeling linguistics on a computer, you need a parser, even if it’s for phonology (roughly, “pronunciation”) instead of syntax.

Turns out the core of the phonology code I wrote for fun over thanksgiving break is yet another parser.
A weird, constraint-based chart parser, so that’s a nice change.

It’s gotten better every time I played it. Admittedly the first time was on PS3 and the last time in VR.
(In VR, I liked it better than I did Half-Life Alyx.)
