I’ve seen exactly one airport bathroom with private sinks, and zero airplanes where I think I can manage that.

But unless the TP turns red to signal you’re done, how do you know? ;-)

Except outsiders don’t know we have 6 meanings for “sorry!” and one of them is “I’m sorry you’re not better”.

Bump into a Canadian at an airport and you’ll hear them apologize.

The boy can’t spell “you’re”. We don’t need to challenge him on the content. Similarly, if the tenor can’t hold the first note, we don’t need to stay for the performance.

Useless with getting news out, useless in preventing a dictator from taking control.
American militias as mentioned in the second amendment are really no actual use, are they?
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
no fallbacks is bad practice.
This is how you know they’re extra lazy – no “please enable javascript because we suck and have no noscript version”.
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
“nah bruh this site is considered broken for the mere fact that it uses JavaScript at all”
A little paraphrased, but that’s the gist.
Isn’t there an article just today that talks about CSS doing most of the heavy-lifting java is usually crutched to do?
I did webdev before the framework blight. It was manual php, it was ASP, it was soul-crushing. That’s the basis for my claim that javascript lamers are just lazy, and supply-chain splots waiting to manifest.

When Reagan said “no child left behind”, he didn’t mean grammarly. That halfwit mess is toxic.

In Canada, we have Medical Assistance In Dying. MAID.
In early COVID, my oncle was diagnosed with non-hodgekins lymphoma. It’s a cancer, I think. His blood transfusions got really frequent just as we were getting into COVID, and he knew he wouldn’t outlast it. And, every visit to the hospital in his condition would mean a deadly infection or virus that he could also bring home and afflict his wife or his girls or the granddaughter one was carrying.
So, on one random Tuesday, the family gathered and told stories and hugged. And the he hit the morphine button the nurse had set up. And he left shortly after 5.
It’s legal, but they’ll make you sit for a psyche first. It’s free. It’s humane.
Another uncle had cancer for 37 years. A model of modern medicine, he was the shell of a man but he’d lived a life. He got pneumonia one Christmas, and when the doctor asked what he thought, he refused care and asked for palliative. His care changed rapidly and he had a very comfy few days before departure.
I hope you’re living in northern Europe or Canada. MAID doesn’t stop suicides, but it makes them more humane.

- Comment on Let's hear it, little lemmings. 2 weeks ago:
I spoke with Mr Baumel, socially for instance, on a few occasions.
He carries on two conversations actively, about completely unrelated subjects, and can speak with authority on any of them in turn. And he’s listening to another conversation so if economics of late Sumeria or gauges of railways in Europe vs China get boring to him, he can ditch one and talk about artwork of early Iceland as vikings adapted their style with the change in local materials; or something.
It’s dizzying to hear. He’s just not on our level.
- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 2 weeks ago:
Good excuse to lay off without paying unemployment while power-tripping. That’s all these kinds of things usually are about.
You know who will be the slowest to adopt any Ai assistance? Senior devs. You know who this guy just fired? Senior devs. If you want to know the people you never want to fire, I have news for you.

“every day”, if you mean ‘daily’.

None. I give my spot to someone who wouldn’t waste it.
I can’t speak on their level, and I’m okay with that. I’ve worked around some absolutely amazing geniuses in my career and I’m happy to be the worker bees in the arrangement. I’m no slouch, and I’ve done my own share of really cool stuff, but I wouldn’t waste such an opportunity on me.
Give it to the Steve Baumels, the Tomas Bartas and the Jeff Linds of the world, the unsung bright spots in our tech march forward.
I’ll save everyone a spot at lunch and try to get in on the group photo.

Infrastructure orchestration with kubes and mgmtConfig from bazel for Ai, and he can build it up like that if he was airlifted into the jungle with a laptop and a Google DC truck. BSc, BEng, MSc, in 6 years via our military officer programme; which means he could probably plan and mount a strong defence of his architecture on a whiteboard with markers or in the mud with troopies. Whip-smart, this one guy. Resume with all the FAANGs on them.
We have been consistently baffled; like, does he want a real wage, or did he broil the neighbour and eat a leftover leg during the interview?

A Mob boss and a monarchy are functionally the same are they not?
Completely; but only if you compare the worst monarchy with the best mafia. In short. It’s a lot of cherry-picking. It’s very whataboutist.
