I actually can’t stand Endo Fernandez!

Man! I think life is more interesting when you have the privilege and the courage to imagine a context or world view outside of your own. I do recognize that there are tradeoffs to being openminded and it is in part a privilege.

Walking down the plane all the way to the back, passing through the different strata of society, can be humbling sha

There has to be a word for when the we mistaken heuristics for fundamentals. Heuristics are good mental shortcuts to make quick decisions without overloading the mind. The higher the stakes, the less we should rely on them.

I keep forgetting that people meeting their life partners on dating apps is not evidence that dating apps actually work. It is just more evidence that sometimes people can find love in most unlikely places.

@dj @atroyn @dieworkwear Glad I was not the only one with this thought 😅

I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was.

We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from Windows95 that we had to come up with some custom UI.

I got out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make with respect to formatting a disk, like filesystem, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, and so on.

Then I busted out VC++2.0 and used the Resource Editor to lay out a simple vertical stack of all the choices you had to make, in the approximate order you had to make. It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived.

That was some 30 years ago, and the dialog is still my temporary one from that Thursday morning, so be careful about checking in "temporary" solutions!

I also had to decide how much "cluster slack" would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect.

So remember... there are no "temporary" checkins :)

Follow me for more random code musings!

In December 2023, N401.1m was paid to Mainstream Contractors Nigeria Limited for the Rehabilitation of Welcome-Nasarawa-Farewell from Nasarawa, linking the North and Southern Part of Nigeria in Nasarawa LGA in Nasarawa State.

We tracked and report that this project has not been done.
We call on @FMWNIG, the implementing agency, to provide the public with details of this project and facilitate its execution.

In February 2023, N132.9m was paid to Southwells Global Energy Services LTD for the Construction of Afiankwo Igboro Oba Road in Elu, Ohafia LGA, Abia State.

We tracked and report that this project has been abandoned. The road has been graded but is yet to be asphalted. Residents said the contractor was last seen on site a year ago in February 2023 before the general elections.

We call on @MNDA_Ng, the implementing agency, to provide the public with a report of this project and facilitate its execution.

After finishing Avatar: The Last Airbender, I have come to the conclusion that I will rather stare at a wall for 40 days and 40 nights than watch another show that will bombard me with the power of friendship. Other than that, I enjoyed the show.

Too many criticisms of remakes are centered around divergence of lore rather than the actual quality of the remake
