The hardest weight to lift at the gym is the one you bring with you.

Also PRISM. Maybe the third—wait, wrong side of the array—worst.

I like draw.io for process diagrams.

When I’m prototyping some model deployment/application/backend, I choose Ubuntu. I’ve also chosen Debian Stable before.

When te decision has been made to actually write the fucking thing for real enterprise deployment, it’s always Alpine Linux so that we have fine control over literally every aspect of the image.

I’d never recommend Alpine for any other use case, tbh.

Unused kitty litter works great.

Used kitty litter probably also works. Hey, I don’t judge others’ fetishes.

I’m in this picture and I resent it.

Fungi are pretty awesome. We can decompose plastic with them. Engage in inter dimensional astral travel with them. And have a nice trip by a campfire without ever leaving the chair.

X was already a thing in Linux before Elon had a dream.

Fucking go ahead and take it though Elon. Wayland for the win.

I figure I can probably convert about 10 kg into manure before it autoconverts into compost. Which is maybe even a worse problem.

Would you rather have 100,000 kg of tasty supreme pizza, or 200 kg of steaming manure?

Choose wisely.

Hail.

Well it’s only slightly more than one-third of almost 9000!

That that to the 3000 browser tabs I have open, two instances of VS code, the multithreaded python app I’m running and developing, the several-gigabytes large dataset that’s active in memory.

Some days, even 64 GB isn’t enough.

I’ve worked for startups too; everyone does everything all at the same time! Let the chaos reign! But it is fun in its own way.

I work for a large company now after the startup I worked for was acquired. Hierarchy, bureaucracy, layers, we’ve got it all. For worse and for better though, it allows me to focus and specialize on what I’m awesome at and furgeddaboddit (ahem! delegate) the stuff that I suck at to those who excel at those tasks.

No, this is incompetent management.

Senior engineers write enabling code/scaffolding, and review code, and mentor juniors. They also write feature code.

Lead engineers code and lead dev teams.

Principal engineers code, and talk about tech in meetings.

Senior Principal engineers, and distinguished technologists/fellows talk about tech, and maybe sometimes code.

Good managers go to meetings and shield the engineers from the stream of exec corporate bs. Infrequently they may rope any of the engineers in this chain in to explain the decisions that the engineers make along the way.

Bad managers bring engineers in to these meetings frequently.

Terrible managers make the engineering decisions and push those to the engineers.

Yes. I do not see any contradiction. My view of spirituality is a broad and subjective concept that relates to my search for meaning, purpose, and connection to something greater than myself—my role in the universe, and the universe’s role in my existence. Religion has nothing to do with that.

I practice meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection in a way that does not require attachment to belief of supernatural phenomena.

I have the Scouts to thank for turning me into first an atheist, then through their example of militant protheism, I became a militant antitheist and a secular prohumanist.

I didn’t find my spirituality because of them, I found it in spite of them.

Cage would make a great Nicholson-style joker; not a Ledger-style.

Some people use git to flog, though. See
