Der Faschismus arbeitet übrigens auch damit, dass seine Gegner glauben er ist übermächtig und unbesiegbar.
Glaubt das nicht. Sie sind es nicht.

PSA: go.sum is not a lockfile.

You never need to look at go.sum.

go.mod has everything you need.
go.sum Is Not a Lockfile
In Go, go.mod acts as both manifest and lockfile. There is never a reason to look at go.sum.

I am getting Parquet-pilled.
spotify_clean_playlists.sqlite3.zst (34GB, non queryable) ->
spotify_clean_playlists/*.parquet (11GB, queryable)

I wish more dataset releases and dumps were done with Parquet. It's truly excellent, particularly when paired with DuckDB

I just vibecoded with exe.dev and Opus 4.5 a backoffice for our FIPS 140 validation, with a separate view for the lab (where they can also upload test vectors), public links for clients, and guided scripts for testing.

I have not looked at the code once. It works great.

I am... processing this.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.

10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Jedes "Familienunternehmen" (ein Begriff, hinter dem Milliarden-Konzerne stecken), das sich nicht klar von solchen Faschismus-Kuschlern distanziert, wird sich langfristig große Schuld aufladen. Oft zum 2. mal in seiner Unternehmensgeschichte.
