trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

For a whole host of reasons, I'd like smaller cars to come back into vogue. Yet at the same time, it's become clear that automakers were so successful at throwing the term "crossover SUV" onto slightly lifted hatchbacks with just enough big-boy rugged looks that people can't assess vehicle size.

WTF is with all the red trim in Toyota's hybrids?

After a long sojurn, it's time to return to Chicago.

One of the wildest bits about technology is that you can look at a project that was half-baked two years ago ago, look again after time and venture capital, and find that it solidified to a point where it would be deemed scalable two years ago and still half-baked today

There is a very special place in hell for people who use fabric softener and dryer sheets.

Why is RHEL 10 so hilariously terrible? Is there a special Fedora Sadistic Engineering committee that specializes in inconsistent refutations of the Unix philosophy?

Diversify your sources of self fulfillment.

Get stuff tailored. I did not want the tailor to tell me I needed to go up yet another size in these tuxedo pants — but he was right and they fit so much better…(and the waist still needs to be taken in more, but that can happen after tonight’s event)

There was a time in my late 20s where I thought I could be as a good mathematician as the Russians or Ukrainians, but as I got older, I realized that I just wasn't Godunov.

This year, at #sc24, SCInet is serving data and shade.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #432,228!

When you spend a few days staring at art in New Mexico, everything becomes an O'Keefe painting.
