So much of “Haskell packaging is bad, it needs to grow up and be a ‘professional’ language” is actually “at work we have a very controlled dev environment and I don’t actually have to manage a Python dev environment myself”

Feeling incredibly defeated. It’s not healthy to entertain this feeling very long. Folks who have it worse need my help. Don’t currently see a path to being a useful ally. Gotta figure it out, though.

. @jenniferhomendy.bsky.social and her team at the NTSB did a great job today fielding questions from the press. Super professional and with the appropriate level of respect for the incident.

The FAA removing guidance for doctors approving pilot medical for trans pilots is such a “cruelty is the point” move. Having to go through the special issuance process is needlessly tortuous for something that cannot possibly affect your performance as a pilot. Infuriating.

does anyone know offhand which recording of Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5 ends with a joyous bellow of a guy in the crowd who can't help himself because the finale goes so hard? I thought it was Karajan with the Berlin Philharmonic but none of the recordings on YT Music I've found are it

I know I’m biased but I believe tailwheel aircraft look better when taxiing. It’s like they’ve got their chest puffed out.
