After surveying current OpenAI, Claude, and Meta LLMs, I can safely say none of them are able to answer questions about HTTP/2 flow control.

(Which puts them on par with most humans)

I'm trying to get better at delivering "bad news" earlier.

If I'm not gonna make it to an event, or won't have time to finish a task, I don't wait until the last minute to communicate that — I let them know as soon as I know.

Feels awkward, but more respectful of their time.

(This probably sounds trivial to a lot of you, maybe less so if, like me, you've been obsessively avoiding conflict for the past couple decades)

See, back in my day, there would be something semantic in the DOM. Ideally a "value=", but I'd settle for a class name.

But this... can you spot anything that would indicate which option is "Passport" and which one is "ID card"?

Listening to "These Walls" from Dua Lipa's new album leads to some deep cognitive dissonance as my brain wraps itself both around the lyrics and the upbeat chipper tempo of the melody. I strongly suspect that's the point; if so, it works quite well as a coda to New Rules.

Can we have a moment of silence for my softbox who emitted a POOF! and then went dark?

I don't think the magic smoke is going back in.

Last Saturday I went to a computer parts store and asked for one of these SD cards and they said "...they make V90 cards???"

Yes they do, for idiots like me who want to shoot 4K25 all-intra (also a V60 would probably work, but... not taking chances).

I always feel bad ordering off of Amazon but like.. I actually look for physical stores or stores that'll ship to me with decent return policies (sometimes I buy the wrong stuff!) and there's very few cases where I feel safe going elsewhere.
