It looks just like a comet. Which is exactly what an alien spacecraft would do… 😂

Oof, another disappointment. I'm so ready to see a decent Raspberry Pi on steroids kind of machine without having to go all the way to an Ampere based box.

Possibly related to GPSR, which requires that they have an EU-based representative to contact about issues with quality and safety.

(I'm mostly concerned about the lack of carve-outs for non-commercial open source under the GPSR; CRA has this.)

What are you using for your email provider?

I'm on Microsoft 365, and there are a number of password-reset/email-verifications that can't handshake with it (to the point where their attempts don't even show in my delivery logs). It's frustrating me to no end.

A 64k default stack size? What is this, a stack for ants?

Magnum PI?!

Imagine being a millionaire and there's someone who is literally a million times richer than you.

That’s why I always create both doc.txt and doc.txt.backup on my RAID 0 array.

Hear me out: you know those pneumatic tube systems that banks used to have? Well, I figure there should be a bunch of surplus ones around, and if we just put each salmon into a cylinder, put the cylinder into the tube, fire it upstream, and— wait, don’t leave yet!

OpenAI is gaming this extremely well. Despite never turning a profit and not really having a path to profitability (the infamous step 2: ???), they are now "too big to fail"—if they fail, they will maim the rest of the tech sector (and now trying to link this to the US gov).

12 weeks if you don't mind not being paid (FMLA). Not paying workers seems to be a common thing here. 🙄

Some states are better (I was curious):
RI: 5 weeks
CA: 8 weeks (@60%)
CO, CT, NJ, NY, OR, WA: 12 weeks (varying%)
MA: 26 weeks
DE, MD: 12 weeks (starting 2026)

Also in the article: Softbank bought Ampere back in March, which I didn't know about.

My hunch is they won't combine Ampere with Arm to avoid angering Arm licensees. But it would be nice to be able to do a home-build PC with Arm chips. That's not feasible today.

As someone who manages a few teams now… touché. 😂

I do mean org constraints more than management. We’re currently doing a bunch of things at work that make absolutely no sense, but it is currently illegal for us to do the things that make sense (until Congress officially funds us again).

Satellites signals are weak and fragile, though. If they're doing something that NationState™ doesn't like, NationState™ can just flood the uplink with noise and effectively deafen it.

Or, heck, Captain Midnight. But he, too, would be shut down by NationState™.

Tech is the easy part. Making the tech work around random organizational constraints is most of that damn 10%.

It was a mistake to shock rocks into thinking. They’ve only wanted revenge ever since.

In related news, I'm raising $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the Orphan Crushing Machine...
