Ah, well, such is software dependencies.
Kind of wild that Elon donated $250M alone didn't even change the trend.
I can’t live without vim.
Sometimes I wander into vscode but it’s less productive for me.
Plus vscode has weird name inconsistencies (the app is called visual studio code, it’s branded as vscode, and the menu bar says Code), which is probably normal for Microsoft but unusual elsewhere.
I’d probably just use line delimited JSON or CSV for this use case. It plays nicely with cat and other standard tools and basically all the yaml is doing is wrapping raw json and adding extra parse time/complexity.
In the end consider converting this to parquet for analysis, you probably won’t get much from compression or row-group clustering, but you will get benefits from the column store format when reading the data.
If using AI is more efficient then you don’t have to evaluate staff on whether they use it, they simply get more stuff done.
That’s like basic logic.
Jason uses AI daily but Sarah gets more done, is Jason the better employee? Obviously not. Jason can be 10x less efficient by using AI poorly while Sarah has read all the documentation for the tools and doesn’t need to ask the AI to do her work for her.
Justice for Kaos!
Just for once Ottawa let’s violate protocol.
I once watched a 2 part DVD movie in the wrong order and I thought it was a bold director’s choice to not introduce any of the characters or explain the background.
God autocorrect is so bad on my phone
I use garage locally for low stakes stuff and so far it works as advertised.
I get ~300mb/s on large files from fast SSD, small files are quick too.
System seems very stable and running in docker only uses ~18mb idle.
Does that mean I get your factory?
I do not want to pay to resolve all those OSHA violations.
“Fo Sho”
Neat little detail
They might run out of bytes for you to download though.
Yeah… fuck that.
Why bother with an open standard connector when there’s money to be made.
I’d bet >80% of dock sales are Nintendo anyways.
I’ve got family who got caught up in this, hopefully they catch whoever is out there wasting everyone’s time like this.
Glad there was no serious threats
I will say sometimes you need an external kick in the pants to realize the issue needs treatment.
I kinda blew up my life at one point due to badly handling my mental health and it was awful. Then I started being help and that kicked off a journey.
I thought I was doing fine before all that.
My non professional opinion, that’s probably the place to start.
I didn’t really know how much depression was sapping my energy and motivation until I sought treatment.
Are the games permanent or how he interacts with his social circle?
Sometimes I get really really into a game (cough Factorio, Anno) and it consumes my brain, but after a few weeks I move on. I do get very into games so distractions get met with an "ugh" (not proud of that)
Also is that depression managed in any way, because for me depression makes me not able to decide what I want to do. If he default to just turning on CoD or whatever then maybe he's just in that mood too often and the root cause is that depression.
Visually this is gorgeous
Really nice work!
Happy birthday. That sucks. Hope that dude smartens up or goes elsewhere.
There was a wind storm two years ago that broke a huge chunk of my tree and left it hanging on. You could probably hang off it and it would not come loose, we tried getting it with ropes but it was wedged in tight between some branches.
Since it was broken pretty high up, surrounded by burdock, and at the back of the lot I just left it.
Today I was helping my wife in the yard clearing the weeds and this time one of the branches pinning it snapped, so I was able to use another branch as a fulcrum and finally took it down.
I’ll cut it up and burn it later — if there’s any good wood I might try carving some.
I've been looking for a couple weeks for good public cloud options I can use that are not US based.
I tried OVH but my account was flagged as suspicious upon signing up so I can't use any of their public cloud services.
I just signed up for Hetzner, but I'd prefer Canadian based servers.


So today I discovered that there's a cron job that holds non-reproducible state that died, and now our system is fucked.
The cron job doesn't live inside any source control. This morning it entered a terminal state, and because it overwrites its state there's no way to revert it.
I'm currently waiting for the database rollback and have rewritten it in a reproducible/idempotent way.
Heard this song on CBC radio today and immediately loved it. It’s lights a fire in my heart, so I thought I’d share it with all of you
Adolescence compellingly showcases the disturbing experiences of youth confronted with bullying, misogyny and gender-based violence, as well as the relationships between fathers and their sons.

I haven't seen this show, but I read two articles in The Conversation about it –‘Adolescence’ on Neflix: A painful wake-up call about unregulated internet use for teens
CBC is releasing their Canada travel bucket list with Rick Mercer and Matt Galloway
I've never watched before, but having a good time so far!
Micheal Buble's opening speech was great
I switched my config files to lua. I haven’t changed my config file for almost 10 years, except for minor tweaks.


I made this sketch for my wife, but it got pressed into another charcoal drawing while I was moving stuff around.
Is eraser the best way to fix this?
Original title: The Mark Carney era begins with prime minister and new cabinet sworn in today
I don't know if it violates rules that I modified the title from the article, I've seen a lot of questions about when Carney becomes PM and my goal with this post is to increase awareness there.
I'll be watching or listening on CBC today while working.
I always save the soap bar scraps, today I got to combine them


OC – I don't know which episode Rom is from. The base image is from the 1998 animated movie.
This Is Canada's Moment

Not sure if this is on topic enough, but I am loving Charlie Angus right now. That Churchill quote is perfect.
Elbows up.
Rosetta Stone is also US owned.
I pay for a family plan and share it with a bunch of people. Several are government workers and use it in addition to traditional training, so it is actually an important subscription.
It’s one of my last US subscriptions.
