I let a domain name expire a couple years ago and I just checked, it's available now

me: oh look, the microcontroller network stack implements SNTP, surely that stands for Secure NTP*
*NTP = network time protocol
narrator: it does not. it stands for Simple NTP which has no protection against spoofing whatsoever

If you’re using venmo, I’d recommend updating the app, going to settings - privacy - find me, and turning off this exciting new feature (that lets anyone find your profile by phone number)
I’d also recommend setting the app to Private (aka not publicize transactions) by default…

Pretty surreal week, I was having extremely severe pain every time I swallowed food or water
It got to the point I was walking past rows of restaurants thinking to myself, "that's nice, but I don't eat food anymore"

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

I always felt like... what's the point? I'd rather program a computer to solve it
