a service i could offer: i'll get excited about your paperwork. i love a good form.

the substance but you just become less annoying for 7 days a week (by not snoring)

imagine you found yourself with a 1.5" thick cut of A5 wagyu sirloin. it's a little over a pound. how would you cook it?

i like that i have not one, not two, but now three (3) accounts - using the same email address - with my mortgage servicer. good/normal system, good work

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build: 1. Heroku, except hand-rolled 2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence 3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith 4. A solution to the halting problem * Hyperbole. I hope

The ‘90s ruled because the only white guy from South Africa who we heard a lot from was Dave Matthews

i've been reading about how the immune system works (very high level) and it's one of the coolest things imo

You know a really handy cognitive trick for being less wrong? Training yourself to ask not just "can x lead to y" but "how much of the time does x fail to lead to y" Seems simple but will save you a world of grief I truly believe

RainSec is happening Tuesday February 25th, 6:30-10:00 PM @ the Lucky Lab Brew Pub (915 SE Hawthorne). Details are available here: smokesignal.events/did:plc:nzjd... www.meetup.com/rainsec/even... groups.google.com/g/rainsec/c/...

not over this vehicle. i call it the richard scarry mobile every time i see it around

if you like eating things this is a good recipe. if you make it in a cast iron instead of a wok it'll be fine.

Oregon DOJ launched a Gender Affirming Toolkit page explaining how citizens are protected under state law. It includes a letter of support for trans people from the state Attorney General. www.doj.state.or.us/oregon-depar...

This is a shocker. Apple is winding down Advanced Data Protection in the UK, company says in press email, rather than build a backdoor for that government, which is impossible to do safely. Every Apple user in the UK is now less safe. Other countries not affected.

naurrrrovirus. is this anything?

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

described discord and bluesky to a very offline friend of mine and his response was “that shit all sounds dumb” which i deeply respect

if you know me you might think "he's smart-ish, decent guy" but let me put those allegations to rest: i bought keto english muffins

reminded of the time my friends and i would ssh into each other's macs, like normal 15 year olds do. one of them renamed my other friend's /library folder to /books and the computer did not work the same way again!

Office Space nailed the worker experience, but Severance really gets middle manager life right. Tasked with something nearly impossible, the execs condescend to your presence only long enough to hold you responsible for things nobody could have anticipated, and they couldn't have done better either.

this afternoon i made a "pizza" and if you all dont behave i might do it again

as someone who is not a lawyer but reads highly technical work regularly, the difference between sassoon's memo and bove's is striking

If you don't have an individual post condemning every type of evil that has ever occurred in the world then you support it. And frankly it's disgusting

software engineers always say shit like "i hooked up my lambda s3 drupal instance to my kubernetes microservice load balancer" and all i can say to that shit is you have lost your way this is not what computers are for

there's a post claiming that updating to ios 18.3.1 enabled apple intelligence. it did not for me, but i also specifically remembered checking when i went to 18.3 that it was off 🤷

breakfast r&d: chili crisp toasted english muffin, sausage, avocado, egg.

swisher posting about elon and ending with “this is a obvious coup”

wish i liked invisalign as much as that one football guy does

the next time you can't get to sleep thinking about awkward things you've said/done just remember that you're not Drake

[watching severance] “i went to a wedding there” never gets old or annoying

new insane tech job listing just dropped

buying decaf beans was a good idea

good news: at least for now, there is no law about using chilaquiles sauce in fajitas

if i attempt to buy another bag of juantonios chilipeño chips, fred meyer's security is apparently "encouraged but not required" to use their sidearm to dissuade me

won the contractor lottery today: emailed a company for a seismic inspection so i could bind some insurance, and they were the ones who did the seismic work in the first place 🙌🏻
