Artemis II Leslie J. Anderson When Prometheus gave us fire this is the kind of thing he hoped for, not the blood on our hands but the burn of the rockets bright as the light in our eyes. Surely he saw in us the willingness to be torn asunder again and again, to send our bodies out against the talons of the universe to come home, wrap our arms around each other and sing, rejoice! There is still no end of the world!

Boost via the Software Freedom Conservancy used Ledger. I got to learn another accounting package. Nothing like it.

Attempt #5 terrible ball point pen and watercolor portrait a Tim Hortons cup and donut
I watched this video this morning and loved it! As an Electrical Engineer, we call it 'j'.
Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.
I understood more of your immediate C++ project and when I did, I had the same feeling as when I first met Joel de Guzman and understood the power behind Boost.Fusion. I told my wife, "Daniel is working on something completely novel. I think I'm just starting to understand it... and it is exciting!"
I've been thinking a lot about you and your multimedia dream this past week. I listened to the podcast and _loved_ it. You are a great story teller and I love listening to your voice. Your vision for the youth is inspiring.
Sometimes a proper noun. Sometimes a verb. Seldom the destructive weapon of Zeus: the God Bolt.

Attempt #3 clay sink for a friend who hopes to become a plumber
Thank goodness for my library of real, physical books, each a conversation with another real thinking, feeling human.
You just don't see it. But you know it's there. I haven't seen the Pacific or Atlantic oceans for quite a while now, but I know they are there. People do stand up for their principles. It's not something other people usually see. It's real nonetheless. Hope that helps us all keep doing it. 5/5

This is a beautiful book. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Honestly, permanent either-one would be a huge improvement on health and safety.

It is a good way to get commit credit.
I used to see people with code completion just pick functions without understanding what they chose. Often it was the wrong choice because they didn't take time to learn the std library. Anyhow... I have lots of not nice things to say about some of the tools people use.

Haha. He went on to explain that when using VSCode he never really understood make, cmake, or command line invocations. The tools just kind of did things and he never really learned what it was doing. I get this. 1/2

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further
I generally don't try to out-guess the C++ compiler. I pass by value. If I'm really concerned because of placement in a loop algorithm or something that might be impactful I will measure or look at the generated code. One problem is that the generated code can change based on other things.
I miss things just being on irc with plain-ol-text. I'd go back to that in a heartbeat.
