seasoned programmers struggle to figure out the "right" API for a single purpose, and still get it wrong. good luck figuring out the "right" API for the sum of human knowledge & our ever changing interpretations & interrelations of it.

the semantic web is philosophically bankrupt. schemas and curation lost to the algorithm, by a wide margin, and for a good reason. ontologies are infinite.

Sixel is a terrible encoding. Most of the newer terminals have escape sequences for sending base64 encoded png/gif/jpg--for higher quality output & lower bandwidth.

Techlead is textbook "uncanny valley". I do not fathom this world, where people invest in his tokens. Yet! here we are...

This satire is judging a professional-technical assault on civilization by the criteria of useful, self-contained tools. As you laugh at the spiritual abortions who wrangle kubernetes for a living, they laugh back, even louder, all the way to the bank.

We are all imbued with the light of consciousness. It allows us to shine in so many different ways. With this stem supremacy, you are narrowing the path before the journey has even begun.

I'd recommend pets, learning how to care for them, and doing it well.

So much (wasted) effort trying to work around Google's shitty autocomplete. The whole industry is practically sharecropping for Google now.

Downloaded their CSVs. Most handles have been anonymized, and only a few hundred accounts in total.

Plenty of anti-war friends from Maine & Connecticut penalized in that sweep. I doubt that the Russians have converted all of our old hippies into spies.

With some of these people sitting on three passports, I doubt they'd put any deep history to use -- treating a town the same way many mutual funds treat a stock: "this company no longer meets our investment criteria" -- DUMP

Disloyalty and parasitism. With no hard ties to the community, they treat it like a disposable. Look at how quickly they trashed San Francisco. Looks like Austin is next. I pray for them.
