I get to the airport at the exact right time every time. Anyone arriving any earlier than me is a sap, anyone arriving any later is a reckless nut.

Thanks for another fabulous Butter and Egg Days Parade, Petaluma! ✨

BREAKING: Claude Mythos discovers 60-year old computing bug, PEBCAK, that's been silently plagued the tech industry for years. It suggests resolving it by eliminating the entity in the middle and replacing it with a more efficient model.

PyCon US 2026

⚠️ Good news alert! We were able to get TWO #PyConUS conference hotels to extend their deadlines: You now have 'til April 28th to book your room in our block at the Hyatt and 'til April 30th at the Westin.

Book now and get your first choice! We'll see you in the lobby 😁 us.pycon.org/2026/account...

Because we get asked a lot.

Palantir delenda est.

(it is probaly going to sound like a defence of LLMs to anti-LLM people and a takedown of them to pro-LLM people… and it's neither. it's mostly about software engineering's default state being clownshoes. a perennial subject. #NBPy )

Draft of my #nbpy talk is done and it's both (a) not what I thought it would be when I wrote the abstract and (b) actually probably better than when I wrote the abstract.

relief.

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Crazy what it takes to get a decent phone picture of the Moon

They often have local distribution, which is the point I was getting at

Such a weird brag. Humans who run races don't run to beat machines. Cars go faster than us, as do horses, for that matter. A robot beating a human record doesn't change that record. As a feat of engineering it's impressive until I ask what the applications are, because I can't think of benign ones.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Doesn't need to be 1 grid-scale project when you can have 4,000 neighbourhood-scale projects.

So are print statements and logs. Neither replace the other.

As I have been saying, the entire mainstream software development supply chain is in a “Y2K 2.0” situation now, and it’s just a question of whether people are treating it as such. The common practice of relying on third-party software dependencies has been radically changed. Behaviors have not.

this is also why i've become disillusioned with local-first software powered by an open source sync servers that anyone can run if an app developer goes away. truly resilient software needs public and community-run infrastructure.

GIVEN that 99.9% of us are incapable of making a record of any description, I think it is grossly unfair that artistes who have achieved a solitary success on the hit parade are insultingly referred to as 'One-Hit Wonders'. Let me assure your readers that, had I written Kung Fu Fighting, I would spend every waking hour waving my cock around and referring to everyone I met as 'no-hit cunts'.

This is how I feel about having made the bestseller list at #15 for a single month in February 2020

I think it's spelled "fucko", Sam?

In the UK they've been trained to think 500 mile journeys should be walked (see The Proclaimers)

car brain is when you have to defend the two times a year you actually need the range of your ICE car in my replies btw

I don't know a lot about how EVs are perceived in other markets, do they have the "I might need to drive 500 miles in a day" brainworm in countries where that would cover pretty much the whole country

Me: [idly looking up info on popes]

Wikipedia: This list is incomplete; you can help expand it.

Me: wut?

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

Did they turn down the vivid green aurora clearly visible at both poles in the Artemis image? Sure looks like it.

Oooh so close to my dream job!

I strongly suspect that some folks on the bsky team had not realized the latter (or that the first 90% of coding and architecture is relatively easy; it's the second 90%, and then the third 90%, and...)

Chris' hand, with fingers curved to show off some nail art. The fingers are blue with white fluffy clouds, and the thumb is green with a black dot representing a snake's eye. It is very reminiscent of the North Bay Python logo.

I hear it's #NBPy next week?
