me: I need proof I pay taxes in france
tax authority: we don't have such a document, just use your tax return

me: here's the number of the form I KNOW YOU GIVE OUT, please just sign the PDF

How is your day going?

I'm once again trying to reach the French government to let them know that, when calculating taxes, they forgot to account for 30K€ I already paid.

For the second year in a row.

Since they end up taking ~55%, I'd rather they get the numbers right...

oh wow, you can rent DaVinci Resolve Studio licenses now?

I bought it for ~$300 a while ago and that gives me two seats, but it's fun that I could just add a couple coworkers if needed

There were like, 8 people on that call.

That’s cool. That’s OK. I’m OK.

I’m excited about all of these, since the borrow checker is at the core of Rust.

I am holding my breath for Polonius, so please don’t let me run out of oxygen 🫥

How's your morning?

I'm explaining to Amazon support that they have 3 mailing addresses: the company address (wrong, I need them to change it), the billing address (wrong, I COULD change it if my payment method appeared on the relevant page), and the delivery address (right)

The fact that this tool shows you not just the hour, but the day the task will finish on, is... ominous.

Am on the go, left some work at home, remembered that 1) my home computer is on tailscale, 2) git can pull over SSH

(I would've pushed from an SSH session, but agent forwarding is broken in some way I can't debug)

It finally happened!

I often think about "computer bad" and similar defeatism — so much is fixable via training, customization + just not buying garbage (which requires money, money solves a lot of problems!).

I'll never understand folks complaining about something they have the means to fix.
