  I stopped hosting my own email servers many years ago, even when I was being paid for it. Any time anyone mentions DKIM or yahoo throttling or anything of that nature I get a thousand yard stare and and start to hyperventilate. I’m sure it easier when you aren’t sending 5 million messages a month, but who needs the headache.

  I was asked to evaluate the last version of Gemini for work. I set up the agent, gave it a robust gemini.md file, and asked it about a bug I was seeing. It told be the bug was because I had spelled “Arrange” with 3 Rs. Except:

  1. I hadn’t
  2. Doing so would not have caused the bug I was seeing
  3. 3 consecutive letter R’s didn’t exist anywhere in the code base

  Gemini 3 really had no where to go but up.

  Guillotines work way better than hanging. And when I’m in charge, the only crime that will get you sent to one is having 3+ commas in your net worth.

  Split the difference, be a happy little dumpster fire. There are no mistakes, just happy cleansing flame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She was a cultural pioneer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a pretty mainstream “I hate everyone and everything” mindset amongst a lot of xenials in the early 90s, when these movies came out, too.

  Brands don’t like to sponsor songs about flies getting trapped in their products. Unless its a fly trap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to have a rack in a colo in the middle of Portland Oregon. The 3rd floor was the colo and they also had telecom equipment on the roof, but the rest of the building was normal commercial real-estate.

  They spent so much reinforcing the floor, sound proofing the floor and ceiling, and building a giant door in the wall (so they could crane in equipment), and helping pay for a new local substation that when P.a.a.S. services (AWS, Azure, etc) they quickly started to struggle to keep the bills paid.

  Soundproofing wouldn’t be needed if the whole building were servers, but the rest would be.

  They always show a picture of the clock tower when talking about the bell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still remember in school when you got used text books that other previous years of classes had used. Still remember a history book that had porno captions on every picture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you get the book from a super serious student and everything relevant is highlighted, so you can just read their cliff-notes.

  Yeah, its either a cold cream soup or a heavily dressed salad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online Oxford English Dictionary puts definitions/meanings and usage behind paywall⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Unabridged Oxford English Dictionary is $1,400 in a hardback set, if you’d rather.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the main device to hammer in a nail?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To answer this question correctly we need to use my favorite super power: pedantry. The meme suggest the rules of who wants to be a millionaire are in play, but that is not expressly stated. Furthermore we’re going to ignore our societal training at recognizing multiple choice questions because, again, we’re not given instructions.

  With these powers combined, the question is ambiguous as it doesn’t specify the set from which we are choosing. Using the 4 options below the question is an assumption. Therefore we have to conclude that we’re choosing from an infinite set of options, every possible decimal value from 0 to 100.

  The answer is an extremely small percentage, approaching zero.

  Whew, for a second I thought I saw myself in that pic. Then I realized I’m drinking a can of soda this morning, so I can go about my business without any troubling self-reflection.

  My friend Jules told me that, in France, the idiom is about comparing apples to pears.

  And they call a quarter pounder with cheese a royale with cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me irl⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve done lab work, but the ol’ lab coat comes out for Halloween every few years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Green⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know specifically, but generally hybrids need to be in the same genus. Tomatoes are nightshades and I think cannabis is in the bamboo side of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to update your bingo cards⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I side bet infected lab monkeys every time, just in case. Like playing 0 on the roulette table.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you even old enough to remember number 1?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a kid you couldn’t choose your phone. Or I guess you could choose between wall mounted of tabletop. They were leased from the phone company when you paid for a phone line.

  My grandmother kept her bakelite rotary phone until she couldn’t call her doctor without a touchtone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandfather had a rule for this kids, and my mom passed it down to me.

  You can’t have a license until you can:

  • Check and fill all the vehicle fluids
  • Perform an oil change
  • Change a tire
  • Drive a manual transmission
  • Change belts and hoses

  I learned on a stick. I even did some learning on my uncle’s beetle with a broken clutch (they were reasonable optional on the OG Bug). And I have not been behind of the wheel of one since. Still glad I learned all that stuff.
