Had the opportunity at the Naval Aviation Museum to see my dad's letters, yearbooks, and navy paperwork. Really weird reading his letters home from college, talking about girls and grades.

I’m trying to decide if I use some prebuilt experimental WHLs for Python on windows arm64 if I try to fully set up my build chain so I can make them myself. A few packages aren’t installing properly for a project. I’m working on. Pandas for one

It’s a little strange going back to a city from your youth and visiting again. Navigating around is familiar but also different. Either way, it’s good to see family and friends.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont... It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

I made a Starter Pack of people in tech who also happen to be underrepresented in the field. This was opt-in only. Sorry, I couldn't add everyone who asked. Starter packs have a limit of 150. I'll make a few more when I get a chance 💜 go.bsky.app/DFvXfF5

What a wonderful well thought out, researched, and written essay. I like how the focus is on AI and LLMs not as system components but as part of the process.

Excited for D&D tonight. Spent the afternoon prepping for our session, working on maps, updating my notes (I keep everything in Obsidian). It's been over a month since our last game due to travel. Can't wait to hang with friends while they bravely attempt to save magic and the world!

Had a nice time in Pensacola with my family. We had a dedication ceremony for my dad's brick at the Veterans Memorial Park. There was a Navy Chaplain and a group of my dad's classmates from the Naval Academy class of 1974. It was really an honor to meet them and hear their stories of my dad.
