And we'd still have change to pay for NiN do an appropriate cover of the theme. Maybe. I don't know, Trent seems pretty busy these days.

Friends, I did, and was home before midnight. This is going to be a fun year. (*)

(*) when I’m not thinking about everything else.

Did someone port Doom to KITT yet?

Hah, that’s a funny use of previews. I’m seeing it in mid June and hopefully they’ll be comfortable by then!

I saw the downtown run and it was one of the most joyful pieces of theatre I’ve ever seen. If you could do that and Titanique in a trip you should have smiles for weeks … (oh, and the new rocky horror starts soon which I hope will be good)

A photo of Lego sets on a book case and shelf - Eagle lunar lander, space shuttle, Saturn V, ISS. Plus some “women of space” Lego. And a millennium falcon. And 2003 era iPod (not Lego)

Did I watch the launch today? This is some of my lego, so I’ll let you guess.

But damn, I wish my default emotion to human launches was still excitement and not anxiety. Oh well.

Wow, sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk . Haven’t thought about that in long long time.

The planet Jupiter with its cloud bands seen in shades of pink, rusty red, blue, and purple. The Great Red Spot is a deep navy blue, surrounded by bands and swirls of pink, and light blue.

Hubble's ultraviolet view of Jupiter shows the planet in hues of pink and blue.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

My 7.5 year old iPad Pro is still trucking along but its “Smart Keyboard folio” was falling apart and shedding pieces of rubber. Apple don’t sell replacements any more, I don’t think, but www.backmarket.com sell them refurbished. So I ordered one and I can’t tell it’s not new. I’ll use them again.

It was brisk out today in #NYC (because this winter will never end), but it was good to get out with crowds and protest. Things are very, very, not OK in this country. #nokings

”Fun” fact about New York that no-one tells you - winter here lasts 4 months. Except the times it snows on Halloween (you laugh, but), in which case it’s 5 months.

GitHub - symphoniacloud/hiccough: A HTML generation library / "internal DSL" for JavaScript and TypeScript A HTML generation library / "internal DSL" for JavaScript and TypeScript - symphoniacloud/hiccough

I released v1.0 of Hiccough, my tiny HTML generation library for JavaScript or TypeScript. The difference vs most other similar tools is that it doesn’t use an external file format or string-based DSL - it’s just inline code.

I’m going with Bovril

Wait what?!? There’s a second season of Deadloch?! I am shocked! But that’s amazing! WOOHOO!

[googles] ... Oh. Oh dear. And I was planning on being so productive tomorrow.

I do agree the current state and trajectory are untenable though. I think we need to get better about subdividing systems into the parts which need manual review, and those for which your suggestions are sufficient.

What is the steady state of LLMs and software development? In my last AI-related post (https://www.linkedin.

So software becomes a black box proven by testing & o11y. But (a) industry is far behind on this, (b) you can’t o11y your way out of a state-breaking error, like security or failed data migration. So I’m not sure this is realistic, yet.

Apparently Tony Hoare (the computer scientist) has passed away. I wrote a quick thing over on my mastodon: hachyderm.io/@mikebrobert...

Rewatching The Good Place and I’d forgotten what an absurdly well made piece of TV it is. The writing and the cast are top quality.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

I was about to reply and ask was this directed at Labour or Reform but in a split second I realized the answer to that question was “yes”.

As was your’s. :)

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19

This was the push I needed to finally export all my old Evernote data and close my account there. I haven't used it in a few years, but I just don't trust Bending Spoons (the current owners) with my data.

obsidian.md is all round a much better option for me.

On a Friday afternoon, even better.

The weather is Too Damn Cold.

John Hurt enjoying a meal in the film Alien

NASA say that the crew member who was ill and returned to earth is doing well and now having a meal with colleagues.

a man in a superhero costume is smiling at another man in a suit . Alt: Thor is smiling at another man in a suit saying “is it though”

Yeah, distinct “is it though” vibes to me. I notice there’s no mention in the article about who owns this - which I take to mean at the end of the day it’s a company or individuals in the US. So they can have all the local “operators” and “advisors” they want - if the owners want to bypass they can

You? Embarrassing brits? I don’t believe it.

Nearly crashed my car because I passed a van for a dogsitting service called IGGY PUP and felt the need to spontaneously applaud.
