Happened to be near a Best Buy that had a reMarkable 2 on display, and it seems nice, but do I need this? It seems like it would have been absolutely amazing for university when we ahem obtained pdf textbooks and this would have allowed me to carry all of them and annotate them.
I don’t know what I’d actually do with it. But I love the aesthetics of it and handwriting notes is a big part of how I do things when I function - so maybe it would be really awesome?

Have you thought at all, for even a minute, about the business model of OpenAI?

In one sentence: "We will take every actual human-created content, the golden egg, from everyone, without permission, and then we will use it to sell plausible made-up shit, simultaneously choking out the creation of all new human-created content, the goose."

Ponzi was vastly more sophisticated than this.

I've long regarded extractive capitalism as corrupt, but I had no idea they were all so stupid.

Sometimes a "wandering trader" come up to you in Minecraft and it's very annoying since he has llamas that make noise and can get in the way. Most players just kill him.

It would be nice if Minecraft added a "goodbye" button that would cause him to leave. Or even a "go away button"

All the murder is both funny and it does not sit well with me.

Idle, delayed realization: transitioning to thinking of energy as unlimited/renewable and material as the limiting factor will require a serious change for petroleum refineries. Like, their whole operation uses material (crude oil) as both energy source and raw material for product. From the economic of a refinery owner, buying a whole lot of electricity to heat the fractionating column and cracking and reforming reactors instead of burning crude is just not going to be attractive.

Does your server federate with threads? If so, have you seen any posts from there?

I hate my work laptop so much. I SHALL NOT be made to use a Dell computer.
Issues today:

• refused to use dock’s network card
• refused to recognize the left monitor at all
• had to power cycle the left monitor that’s directly connected to the dock to get it to be better than 800x600
• dock providing insufficient power
  Four times I had to unplug and reconnect the dock!

It's niche and stupid. If you use JFrog Artifactory and a Red Hat-based Linux and want user-specific credentials for use with dnf, I know how to do that and you can too:

In retrospect, we should have figured out that Jia Tan was a plant from the fact that they showed up to do releases. In 20+ years of contributions to FLOSS projects I haven't found anybody willing to do the same.

I still have hope that one day, macOS dictation will recognize that I say "cache" and not "cash"

One day...

We need to STOP running DOOM on new things
and START putting new things into DOOM.

For example, today I added micro-transactions to the original game. Any time you pick up an item, the game freezes until you make a payment.

opening DOOM from the command line. start a new game. immediately walk to health item. when the character touches it, the game freezes and a QR code pops up. I scan the qr code with my phone and a credit card payment UI is displayed. I enter fake credit card details, hit submit. A second later the web page on the phone says "Payment Complete" and the game on the computer resumes.

For rainy days we have a treadmill but it's locked into the vendor's subscription service if you want to watch videos.

Except...tap the bottom left 10 times, wait 7 seconds, tap 10 more times, up pops a number, use that as a seed to generate a number with lrand48, reduce modulo 999999 (not 1000000!) and type that number back in, and now you have an Android tablet with web browser and access to YouTube.

Dreamt that Adidas's first product was a tractor called the Adidas Robust Muscle and that they still sold them in Europe. I'm my dream, I saw one in a museum. Adidas got into the footwear business after designing a shoe for farmers.

The least enjoyable part of coding is getting the IDE setup, the folders named, the correct libraries installed and trimmed down so they have what you think you will need.

If the language is java then the least enjoyable part is deciding if you want to store a number as a float or an int (formatted if you need decimals) ... then always changing your mind and having to go through and fix the numbers so they work.

I know python is lazy, but strict typing still feels like a drag to me.
