Link. Artisanal indicators is a good term.

Link. “Several people mentioned issues with sending floats in JSON, whether either they were trying to send a large integer (like a pointer address) in JSON and it got corrupted, or sending smaller floating point values back and forth repeatedly and the value slowly diverging over time.”

Ok,that’s real bad.

Link. Emphasis on OBSERVABLE. It’s likely the universe is far larger than what we can observe. I particularly liked that stars, in an odd way, are sparser than galaxies… ” If the Milky Way were a grapefruit in Seattle, WA, then Andromeda — the Local Group’s largest galaxy located 2.5 million kilometers away — would be a grapefruit in the same room, only about 10 feet … away” Recommend that vertical log map.

Link. Oookkkaasyyyy.

“(macOS) General > Sharing.
Uncheck every service that’s enabled.”

Link. I prefer photos from my old iPhone 8 over my 13 Pro.

Link. Aaronson did his duty.

Link. Needs fix: “RSS auto-discovery has been broken on the latest Mastodon release for some time. To remedy this situation, Feedbin will do some extra work to help determine where the RSS feed is”

Also: “Feedbin now has the ability to post directly to your Mastodon account”

Link. Good lede.

Link. Atypically peaceful red dwarf star.

Link. Tower records rather than phone records. Not how he was found but a reminder of the traces we leave.

Link. What do charter schools do?

Link. I had no idea until I saw a notification on a new phone.

Link. 1964!

Link. Remarkably good summary of “reconstruction”

Link. Most people, but especially Republicans, have very limited imaginations.

Link. So far not as bad as expected. Will update when things go wronger.

Link. Black Death move is noteworthy.

Link. MN has egregious non-competes and can’t fix them.

Link.

Link.

Link. I suspect US flights are 2-5% active disease. Article fails to clarify PCR vs antigen and recent vs active.

Link. New Android code is 21% Rust.

Link. I’ve been looking for this but ran into a nasty design error immediately. So needs more time.

Link. “boosts seem a lot more intrusive and repetitive than retweets on Twitter”.

I think lack of Quote Tweets drives boosts and that the despised algo helps. Mastodon show everyone’s boost. I boost rarely.

Link. Good to know the options.

Link. Includes TaxAct, TaxSlayer, and H&R Block. It’s not clear if either Facebook or the tax companies fully understood how this worked. A side-effect of Facebook Pixel code.

Musk owns American journalism now.

Link. Welcome to the AI era.

Link. Apple likes it that way. Maybe fewer support calls.

Link. If I were a devoted Tesla investor I’d sell now and buy in 6m or so. Price has a long way to fall. (I’m not buying Tesla at any price.)

Link. Kind of like Flash if it were never patched.

Link. Don’t worry, the paper is flawed.

Link. “[Viruses are] made up of really good stuff: nucleic acids, a lot of nitrogen and phosphorous,”

Link. I love her writing. She knows of, course, that neither were religious men.

Link. Laura Jedeed has a big one in The New Republic. “No one will force you to be a Christian in Rick Green’s America. But you will largely need to live like one.”

Link. Persuasive. “US military aid to Ukraine so far is less than the annual cost of its long war in Iraq, and about one-tenth of the current US defence budget. This is the best bargain in American military history.”

Link. This is a good K article. (Free at this link)

Link. Kids back in school? Carjacking numbers and gunshot numbers insane. We need years of much greater declines.

Link. I’ve seen that! Is so funny. I don’t mind the bold UIs, some are better than current fashions.
