one hundred percent. And the manual typewriter (and I also took piano classes for many years) made you strong enough to keep your posture and habits good enough to avoid repetitive motion problems. Tho my typing accuracy on glass screens with autocorrect has gotten atrocious. My typing teacher and my editor mom would be ashamed of many of my unedited postings.

there is nothing ironic about pointing out that until the CO2 (and methane) concentrations drop the heating will increase. It is the simple physics of it. We could have taken more action in 2006 when An Inconvenient Truth came out; we didn’t and this two decades of war in gincluding this and following summers, are the simple direct result. Until we stop intensifying the cause, the effect will intensify.

I have quit smoking a few times. So not much to add here. It took me a bit of luck as well as actually not wanting to smoke, but also needed moment by moment not smoking without making it dependent on being a good person in some difficult sense. It also helped me to be nagged by people I trust to stop. 100% something I could not just decide to change and be changed.

people change continuously - most times when people try to intentionally change they fail. Especially for something like "become better people" rather than try to walk a bit more or eat less sugar or change how you dress; I think this is because accepting the reality of who you really are and working with that (rather than force yourself into some idealized other) works to make life's potential more accessible, moment by moment.

this is why the maths community has had such success with LLMs - the lean formalization is right there a solid well trained on deterministic logic layer.

This book is well worth the read. It doesn’t really make me hate Meta more but it puts color behind the sense of evil they give off.

hopefully your 1/2 vote for Collin’s won’t be the thing that puts my trans and queer family members into a reeducation camp or kicked out of their apartments and jobs, or my immigrant family members into an ICE camp. Because those, to me, seem to be the stakes. Feel free to come to a different view point, but this isn’t some abstract political tactics discussion; people are heated for a reason.

cool. I have done this walk at Kitty Hawk and Death Valley - definitely a different texture than rocky piles. One starts paying attention to one's gait.

I am reading the Great Transition by Nick Googins if my lying eyes are working. So far so good, it's a thriller in a relatively good post carbon burn society.

I can but I like an Eink reader for two reason - it looks better and I do better with finishing books when a fixed physical object is “reading that book” rather than something I also use to check Mastodon or do financial things or whatever.

I don’t think it’s the font :) I am in the same spot, unless I am reading outside in full sunlight (rather than in the dark trying not to bother my spouse or on the train or in a library).

Vermont had the guts to immediately sue Exxon in a similar situation. Will California take that sensible route?

Whereas with Java upgrades we have to write code transformers and still have a list of manual changes due to open source deps randomly changing. What? And when I was using terraform a few years ago also I had to write code transformer to go from .10 to .12 to .14 with no end in sight. /n

version. I would change my implementation all the time but would always rewrite the old API to use the new stuff (which was possible with cleverness in both C and Python). 2/3.

this is not related to your direct thread but it always surprises me how wantonly open source is about breaking changes. Maybe because two of my main languages where I had other people using my library's were C and Python, but in both these cases (at work) I would never consider releasing a non-backwards compatible 1/2

ironically your dis-recommendation for Arch derivatives and your recommendation for Ubuntu shows how solid the Debian distro is. You just don't have to fix it at a low level like you do Gentoo or Arch even after years. (Well I did but that was because i manually installed a bunch of 32 bit libraries to enable my son to play terraria and steam before that was all worked out).

I am pretty sure that code would be horrifying to expose to the open internet, full of RCE at every layer in the stack.

So Trump is trying to bully and insult Harris, but he seems not to realize she has been a smart black woman in public life in the US for 60 years - she's been insulted and demeaned like 100 thousand times by much better people than Trump.

I carry the book around with me for what I expect to be the rest of my life. If I find out the author raped people or something like that, then I can recycle the book but otherwise I am condemned to fall under the spell of the idea of 50 hour days with no responsibilities except reading.

that slogan immediate makes the phrase "only stupid people" roll thru my head. Perhaps more a reflection of my own jaded life than the quality of the slogan.
