Project Hail Mary: the hype is real. The book’s has been my comfort rereading for a while, and the movie hits all its feels. Sure winner for Best Performance By A Boulder. I give it five claws up.
Back to the office -> two minutes of Windows showing continual notifications from every needy app upon booting up. You have ten meetings last week! Windows wants to update! Adobe wants to update! Notepad wants to update! Here's a bunch of Slack messages you already answered from your phone!
Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Posting misinformation and disabling replies so people can’t see corrections is pretty gross.
Omg so many people walking into the city wearing a “MUG ME” sign. Put your badge away outside the convention center!

They were just cordoning off the area where the food vendors store their stuff. The park was totally open today.

Kinda wild how much faster Clang compiles compared to MSVC
(Specifically, I was thinking of the Gracchi brothers: youtu.be/ODI1VOOoey0 )
Also when it comes to “the news should publish what the gestapo are doing”, he’s… kind of right?
[friend sits down at lunch]: Wow, you looked deep in thought.
Me: ... hmm?
Friend: What were you thinking about?

Me [truthfully]: ... the Roman Empire.
A screenshot of the "Code Inspection" setup dialog in Visual Assist, which controls which "helpful suggestions" pop up when you're writing code. The "modernize-use-auto" feature is highlighted; its default setting nags the programmer to replace properly typed variables with 'auto' assignments.
Updated Visual Assist, now it nags me to make my code worse.

Pro tip for anyone with fitness on their New Year’s resolutions: put an exercise bike in front of the PS5.
Roguelites are ideal workout length. I’ve played like 500 miles of Hades. Crank up the resistance during boss battles for extra verisimilitude.
Why wouldn't it run on a Steam Deck? GTA6 will fit onto a PS5 and the Steam Deck is at least as capable. They can use the same tunings.
AAA studios have the greatest need to reach the widest audience. Our games work on current hardware right now; why wouldn’t we keep them working?

I keep a reaction gif on hand to clarify why I care so much about the availability of market-rate rental housing to urban professionals
