I feel awful having just heard about the death of Charlie Kirk.
No, I’m not here to offer thoughts and prayers.
I’m here to say that killing him was evil. You should be able to say the same. If you cannot, you and your culture are part of the problem.
Words are not violence. Violence is.

Thinking of writing a book called "I Have no Job, and I Must Earn."

I saw a decorative sign recently that I thought would have wildly different vibes if hung in the dining room versus being hung in the bathroom.
It said “YOU ARE NOT ALONE”.

In time-travel movies, everybody's scared of doing some little thing that changes the past. But you're in the past right now. You're in the past of your actual future. Do something small. Change the future for the better.

Got my new MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip. I've seen this thing idle at 5.4 watts. Five point four! To Intel, that's a rounding error. If I'm not doing anything significant it rarely goes above 10 watts. The chip hangs out at around 40º C in a laptop enclosure with fans off.

I struggled with Dune (the book). Didn't find it entertaining. And I felt weird about that because it seems to be so universally praised. Then I watched this video. Now I'm interested. There's a lot in here that I just never understood about that world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0krUthYxF4

A tech company run for the benefit of its users. What an idea!
