Appreciated this paragraph from gasche:
The policy that I proposed has been described to me as:
- disturbingly anti-AI by people who are very positive about AI usage for programming
- disturbingly pro-AI by people who are very negative about AI usage for programming
My immodest take-away from these conflicting sentiments is that the proposed policy is in fact reasonably balanced.
I think I would have liked to have a teacher like Dijkstra.
Reading ocaml PR 14369 generates so much entertainment value for me every time.
Actually one of my favorite parts of the MOSP hunt is the rec letter in the Epilogue of Chapter 1.
Are these log messages too snarky?

# …
log "☀️ GOOD MORNING, my glorious webmaster! How are you this fine $(date +"%A in %B")?"
log "🩷 Please enjoy these logs, I wrote them just for you 💌🖋️"why do i push updates to production right before going to bed on a Friday night isn't that just asking for trouble
oh it's almost april 1 which means it's time for me to decide on a new career
I'm always reminded of this sentence in esr's how to ask questions
When asking your question, it is best to write as though you assume you are doing something wrong, even if you are privately pretty sure you have found an actual bug. If there really is a bug, you will hear about it in the answer. Play it so the maintainers will want to apologize to you if the bug is real, rather than so that you will owe them an apology if you have messed up.
I feel like I always did this, and it just seemed like common sense to me. In fact, I assumed that's what everyone did. But apparently not?
It's pretty nice that most of the museums in Washington DC are free.
New mosp.evanchen.cc archive up and running!
Maybe binge-watching High Potential is not a good way of coping with not having enough time to finish my work.
A sentence I read on Wikipedia today:
On 30 April 2015, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration announced it will order Boeing 787 operators to reset its electrical system periodically, to avoid an integer overflow which could lead to loss of electrical power and ram air turbine deployment, and Boeing deployed a software update in the fourth quarter. The European Aviation Safety Agency followed on 4 May 2015. The error happens after 2^31 hundredths of a second (about 249 days), indicating a 32-bit signed integer.
Played through For Love is Heartbreak on a whim and was unable to discard or put away a single item in the room.
… I actually find this rutabaga situation pretty funny.
can't the IRS learn to use email or something
i swear it's either postal mail or holding on the phone for forever
Seems like repeatedly pressing the center autosuggestion on my phone currently gives the following sentence:
The only way I could be happy with the fact I can be a good friend is to have you in the corner and I will always love it when I can see your face in my life again
Dunno how to feel about that one.
Me realizing that the daily database backup script has been broken for two months and I didn't notice. Whoops.
From Crying in H Mart:
Some of the earliest memories I can recall are of my mother instructing me to always “save ten percent of yourself.” What she meant was that, no matter how much you thought you loved someone, or thought they loved you, you never gave all of yourself. Save 10 percent, always, so there was something to fall back on. “Even from Daddy, I save,” she would add.
…
I envied and feared my mother’s ability to keep matters private, as every secret I tried to hold close ate away at me. She possessed a rare talent for keeping secrets, even from us. She did not need anyone. She could surprise you with how little she needed you. All those years she instructed me to save 10 percent of myself like she did, I never knew it meant she had also been keeping a part of herself from me too.
So I know xkcd makes fun of tar flags
but I have even more difficulty with rsync.
I think my default flags should be something like rsync -zhvaxPAX.
