no one ever warned me that having multiple childrens means that you will need to build approximately 17 beds before they graduate elementary school

During the lockdown days one of my happy discoveries were old natural history books filled with nonsense. Sometimes well-meaning factual errors, at other times sensationalism. ("The army ants of South America can clean the bones of a living calf to a polish in but a few hours!")

I ran in to this book plate being sold on etsy and it has the feeling of "old natural history book nonsense."

But it could also be a displaced colony, perhaps by flood waters, with the callow workers in the center?

Saw this online recently and felt compelled to point out that the first step to making nut milk, “grow and harvest nuts,” is not without its significant human and environmental toll. I’m not anti-vegan, I’m just anti SMUG vegan. It’s next to impossible to pull off a vegan diet in urban America without collaterally participating in the exploitation of agricultural workers and finite natural resources. A single almond represents over a gallon of water. Drink almond milk all you want — we’re all captives of a destructive system — but miss me with the virtuousness.

I'm quite annoyed at some of the design choices of #ArtemisMQ. I just want a two node setup with manual fail over for reducing downtime during deployments but everything I find in the docs still require a cluster setup for this with more nodes. I guess I could stick a dummy node on some other server just to meet the requirements but that's an added maintenance burden

Mind you: companies against striking (and the rights of workers) move like this a lot. Basically saying "fuck you, come back and work". https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/disney-demands-showrunners-work-during-writers-strike-wga-1235480879/ (https://jacky.wtf/2023/5/smag)

If you publish a software product on the web, is it necessary/reasonable/unnecessary/silly to publish the MD5 hashes of the download artifacts? If it's some flavor of reasonable to do so, what's the right way to go about it? Putting the hashes in web pages on the same server seems somewhat incautious.

god help me I'm doing javascript again and that means we hunt npm until we find a library that tells us what the types of the inputs and outputs are

PSA if it this helps people - if you want a full Microsoft 365 subscription, with E5, test data etc - that you can add Defender MDE on too - for free, head here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/dev-program#Subscription

It's really good, you can test all the MS Office and security technology for free, access Threat Analytics (normally paywalled) etc.

Windows may be an easy platform to use for simple things, but as a developer, there are no operating systems with as much friction as Windows. Linux is a breeze in comparison.

I have little experience with MacOS, and I find their UI very counter-intuitive and opinionated, but at the command line level it is easy enough to work with as well – for what I've had to deal with so far at least.

I really liked this announcement of Mojo by @jh:

Been trying to work out why my hard drive is filling up but couldn't work out what was using all the storage. Turns out my email client keeps every log file since the beginning of time 😱

TIL it's possible to get half a terabyte of txt files

i'd like to point out to news sites how much i loathe this malignant habit:

• news site heads a story with a video which is not auto-playing because firefox doesn't let it
• i scroll down to read the story
• news site goes "oh, you scrolled away, let me pop out the viewer for you so you can keep watching the video
• i close the viewer because i want to READ THE STORY
• the video at the top goes "oh cool, you interacted! we can start playing now!" and off it goes

i don't know what you expect me to do at this point, but what i invariably will do is close the page and go find the story on a news site that doesn't assault my senses

I have a new title!

Global Head, Open Source Program Office for IBM zSystems & LinuxONE

It's a new role that I've been advocating for, so it's really exciting to see it happen.

Now the hard (but awesome!) work begins 😁 #opensource #IBMzSystems #LinuxONE

Why are browsers so bad about dealing with bad sites' shenanigans to break right-click/save? 🤦

Curious for #dotnet folks: If you are trying to add intent determination to user input, what library or API would you use? The big hotness right now is obviously ChatGpt, but curious if there are options that people prefer - especially if your range of possible user intents is pretty narrow (e.g. determining if the user is asking to create a task and the parameters thereof).
