@FirstProgenitor this is going to sound insane but I had a dream that you posted an image of a house and for some reason I boosted it and then you replied to me with “I’m legally entitled to your house now” and showed up on my doorstep

Me, being very smart and proactive: I'll write down notes about this coding idea so when I get to implementing it I can read them and remember my thought process
Me, later, reading the notes: what the fuck was I talking about, what the fuck does any of this mean
@ieure (By trying to avoid 'loading in' stuff 'until it is necessary')
@ieure "Optimization" attempts by people who have never been within two meters of a profiler, as far as I can tell

What is with websites these days fading content in as you scroll down? It's like someone looked at an N64 game and was like, know what this ecommerce site needs, distance fog
How to tell that someone works in software security: when they evaluate software options, they don't look for the software without any security issues, but for the one whose security issues most credibly look like genuine oversights rather than negligence

Question for people who do on the ground organizing — is there a reason that so many action requests come day of or with less than 24 hrs notice?
I can’t make arrangements to attend a rally when I hear about it 2 hrs before and I often need a day or two to research and craft a message to my electeds.
It’s very stressful for me, but this happens so frequently I figure it’s purposeful. I’d just love to know why?

@xgranade doctors who don't wear masks confuse me
the assassin, question
@aylamz There are quite a lot of oddities in the story (slightly mismatched appearance, apparently carrying all the evidence, deliberately identifying with a fake ID that the feds know about, etc.) so I've been left wondering.
It seems pretty clear that the guy wanted to be found, but what's less clear to me is whether he actually is the shooter, since if he wanted to be found, there would've been easier ways to do that?
the assassin, question
So uh, do we believe that the guy who got arrested is actually the shooter?

De Belgen hebben ‘boekenstouw’ dit jaar tot nieuw woord uitgeroepen. Het ‘ontbreekwoord’ noemen ze het.
Betekenis: de stapel boeken die je nog moet lezen. Vertaling van het Japanse woord ‘tsundoku’.

Twitch's version of a wrapped report dropped and... hmm... I've become really, really uncomfortable with the idea of distilling things down to numbers so flippantly. Especially in a space where distilling things down to numbers then tying those numbers to success and even money is a lever for abusive practices.
If there's anything I've learned from a lifetime of constructing metrics, alerts, and statistical models it's that you never measure just what you think you're measuring. Any distillation is lossy, and frequently abusively and deliberately so.

Once more for the people at the back.
There is no ethical use of LLMs.
@theresnotime@fox.nexus There are options like tmux like already mentioned by others, but if you need something simpler or are working on a restricted system, I think you can achieve a similar thing with `script` (which records terminal sessions into a log file that I believe you can tail).
@smveerman Oh oh oh, the puzzle cards! I remember those! Had great fun with them as a child.

The under 12 ticket at 
is called Railrunner. It was named after Rappy Railrunner, who used to be on gifts one would get when buying a Railrunner at the ticket office.
