Hey! Remember those toots from yesterday of mine? I've got a name now for the phenomenon I've been picking at:

Weak Induction

I'm probably not using it correctly in this explanation, but this is when you're looking at something (say an online post) and, because you have a brain which is constantly looking for patterns and motives, you induce things about what the author means.

But watch out for weak inductions! If what you assert isn't plainly there in the post, you might be on about nothing!

Chromium time zone handling on Mac OS Sonoma is ahoo. Seems to be broken in Electron apps as well? https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1487920&q=timezone&can=2

If you’re enjoying your memories of the early Macintosh at the moment, you may enjoy the TV show Halt and Catch Fire. Drama set about 1983 or so. I loved it. #macintosh40th #macintosh

I was watching a YouTube tutorial on running nix on macOS, nodding along and impressed by defining a setup using a flake file, and then the person said "and now we're going to install homebrew using nix because there are packages in there that aren't in nix” and I nope'd out so hard.

Packagemangerception isn't cool.

I don't like to make a constant huge deal of it because the world concentrates too much on numbers and the baggage around them, and constant running totals are probably bad all up, but this morning I hit a 30kg weight loss.

Left, September 2023. Right, today. Also yes I am fifty something and my mother bought me a bun hoodie.

A photo of a nanoraptor looking a little bit more nano and a little less raptor too. Also I'm wearing a pink bun hoodie.

Apple's weird hiring practices and insistence on hiring non-remote for their positions is their loss.

They're missing out on some top-shelf developers/comedians.
