So, thanks to the folks that fucked with my flights today/tomorrow, my obsidian-plugin calendar project now supports event categories applying stylings to events such as "opacity" and "strikethrough" 🫠 Sliver linings in everything, right?

California's solar duck curve has gotten deeper every year. Now, there's pretty much zero demand for electricity from the grid during the middle of the day.

Regarding the present as a piece of history -- something you can't change -- instead of regarding the present as the present -- something you have power over! agency! the ability to shape! -- is one of the greatest traps of mind.

When a software company gets a culture of explaining why things _are_ to the total exclusion how talking about how they _could be_, I leave. It's a hard rule for me. You can't do much when that's the prevailing culture. (And then the company tends to fail.) Nations, though...

One of the major reasons I no longer live in the States is that I burned out of having conversations about civic issues which were deadends because people treated things as mysteries -- or worse, as histories: describable, but unchangeable -- instead of situations we can change.

"So it feels to me that the US is treating its deficiencies — [...] — as mysteries to be endured rather than problems to be solved." https://t.co/Gc1MOBRpXq hits the nail on the hit so hard it physically hurts.

Report - block Report - block Report - block Report - block Report - block I report every one, and they keep coming. How stupid and lazy are the "algorithms" that keep spamming me with ads and bots wanting to show me naked women? Never had this problem pre Musk

Another one-function tool built on iroh. We legitimately use this all the time at work, mainly to send log files, sometimes memes, but usually just giant files of logs.

This is gonna be bumpy. Almost every (profitable) software company I know has used R&D tax deductions heavily. It's like the one fiduciarily clever thing you can do as a software company. First page of the easy-financial-wins playbook. So yeah. This is gonna have big splash.
A thing that is causing huge pain at many tech companies in the US - with little talk about it: An IRS tax code change in Section 174. This change eliminates the ability for businesses to deduct R&D as an expense. Hear of lots of layoffs directly because of this, as a start.

Merge vs. Rebase vs. Squash. Anyone who says "100% of the time you <merge/rebase/squash>" is wrong and I'm strong in that opinion. I'm asked about this pretty regularly, so I decided to take my copy paste answer I always use and put it in a gist. 🍿

We cannot rule out the possibility that radio communication will alert hostile alien superintelligences to our whereabouts, triggering an invasion posing an existential risk to humanity. Therefore we must carefully regulate radio technology until we have better planetary defenses

Please remind me how we are moving forward. In this video, a machine from the year ~2000 (600MHz, 128MB RAM, spinning-rust hard disk) running Windows NT 3.51. Note how incredibly snappy opening apps is. 👇
