I finished "The City We Became" by N. K. Jemisin. It was different than the usual books I read. The story is about a handful of New Yorkers who find out they have become something much bigger than themselves, and that a great enemy is after the city they call home.

Going fast usually means sacrificing quality, and it's really obvious quality is being chucked into a volcano.

My dog chilling out right in front of me while I bike.

She is down here in the basement while I exercise.

The low battery chirp in one of my smoke detectors is going off, and I am now my dog's emotional support human.

Grifters will keep on grifting. Anything to claw back power and wealth for themselves.

Some see role models in wealthy business magnates. In a way, so do I. I see what happens when greed corrupts in such a way that lets them see others are undeserving of basic needs.

It's impossible, without sacrificing one's humanity, to be disportionately rich while there is so much insecurity.

This book gave me an appreciation for what immigrants do to give themselves a better life. That we should be helping each other get to a better station in life.

I finished Solito. A memoir by Javier Zamora that describes his journey to America as a 9 year old.

I could not put this book down at times. The book shows how resilient people can be. It also opened my eyes to how treacherous the journey to America can be and how unfair fate can be.

Bouncer: "I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Me: “Why?”

Bouncer: “I don’t know who you are and this is my trampoline.”

Almost done with Asimov's Foundation's Edge, and I am left wondering if it would have been a NY Times best seller if it was written by someone less notable.

As I wake up at 5am to take my kid to a swim meet where she will swim for about 4 to 8 minutes total over a 4 hour period, I wonder where I went wrong in life.

TIL: While using panes in tmux, you can make a pane full size by doing ctrl-b z. Then when you're done focusing on it you can press it again to restore the panes to what they were.

They gave money to conniest con man ever. It wasn't hard to see this as an outcome.

I can't wait to see his advice on high grocery bills.

conservatives are gathered today on Good Friday to celebrate that special day, 2000 years ago, when the state legally executed a leftist

Diagram showing that using the type Iterable is better than hardcoding a list. Example with the wrong type: # ❌ def create_files(files: list[Path]) -> None: for file in files: ... Correct syntax for Python 3.9+: from collections.abc import Iterable def create_files(files: Iterable[Path]) -> None: ... Correct syntax for Python 3.8: from typing import Iterable def create_files(files: Iterable[Path]) -> None: ...

This is a beginner typing mistake in Python:

Setting the type of function arguments to `list` when all you need is to be able to iterate over that value.

That's bad because it prevents you from using tuples, or generators, or other iterables.

Instead, use `Iterable`.

I’ve never regretted writing documentation but I’ve regretted not writing it.

It's probably just gas.

These headlines feel like obvious signs the economy is going to crash.

People with empathy are deeply impacted by harm being done to real people.

We feel it in our gut-- our very souls. To feel this strongly puts a heavier requirement on us to create justice.

It's called moral responsibility.

Trump has called activists expressing moral responsibility terrorists.

Not surprising. He is allergic to criticism and accountability.

Real tech geniuses, DOGE

My only hope is that most of that group realizes that they were bamboozled before it gets much worse.

It's clear that a significant portion of Americans were tricked into thinking that they knew better than the experts or that the experts couldn't be trusted. So instead of figuring things out through logic or sound reasoning, we are resorting to learning things the hard way, by trial and error.

Annnnd now slack (owned by salesforce) is down for a significant amount of time.

So many questions. What does "to build 0-1" mean, and why am I a match if my resume is so bad, which i did not submit, btw 😬

Ssh private keys are meant to be private. It's on the creator/user of those keys (whoever is using PuTTy and not the creator of PuTTy) to keep them private. If they are leaked, then it is on the user to replace them asap. Best practice is to replace them regularly.

He created a tool, and most using PuTTy wouldn't even know who he was (I didn't), let alone respect his opinion if he even had one.

Hassling him would be sending the wrong message. Instead, effort should be aimed at blocking Musk and stripping him of authority.

What about him? PuTTy has been around for decades as a free/open source ssh and telnet client. I remember using it when I still used Windows.

I don't think he has any meaningful connection to Musk.
