There are amazing places to live here that are just outside of Seattle but still on the west side of lake Washington. With the light rail it’s an easy trip to Seattle. Don’t be discouraged. The people here are welcoming.

Yeah but it’s like $7USD to just buy the mold to freeze your own. This may or may not come with a reusable mold but my guess is that folk will just use it as disposable which is a metaphor for modern society.

It’s 2020 Volume 6. I kept thinking things would get better but it looks like the 90s or early 2000s will most likely go down as peak human civilization.

Supreme Court narrowly rules in a stunning 5-4 decision that the ocean does indeed contain water.

They are hoping the court has been corrupted just enough to go fully fascist and it may have…this is not a subtle test. This is the test to see if it’s fully corrupted or just heavily corrupted. The process to amend the constitution is spelled out but they want a corrupt court to do their dirty work.

This looks really promising. I never drive more than 30 miles a day outside of a couple of annual road trips. I’ll have to see a video of what the SUV config looks like as I have kids but this would probably work for my lifestyle. It’s a rarity that I have to drive anywhere outside of my town.

I am constantly astounded by the state of Windows audio for interfaces. Still having to use different ASIO implementations when MacOS just lets you stack aggregate interfaces like it’s nothing.

Exactly this! If it’s better than CarPlay, I will use it. If it’s worse, I want to be able to use CarPlay. I’m old enough to understand that car infotainment systems do not keep getting updated and quickly fade into obscurity. I won’t buy a vehicle without CarPlay as I know it will keep working for a pretty long amount of time.

Everything I do for the company is on the public GitHub and GPLed. Not overly useful to anything other than our product suite but it feels good to have it all open source. I used to contribute to Linux PAM but it’s been a good long time. Nowadays I just submit the random merge request for bug fixes. One day I shall retire and contribute to the networking stack. One day….

Finally someone who gets ME! I maintain the Go SDK and leverage Snyk and GitHub to perform dependency checks. I’m mostly using the standard library but I like feeling like I have someone over my shoulder double checking things. I maintain the things built on top of the SDK as well like the Terraform provider so it’s really nice having the foundation and the building. No one else cares but I rewrote the back off/retry logic this week so folk don’t overload the API. Supply chain attacks are scary. I run as few dependencies as I can without having to reinvent the wheel. I’ve have spent so much time double checking package signing and key security it’s insane.

I work in tech. No one cares about my updates to the client SDK. It would make for boring dinner conversation and it’s not like there is office gossip…I work from home. Do you want to hear about my chat about updates to the corporate PPT deck to illustrate the new logical flow of connectivity? Because marketing was on that call and they didn’t care either.
