On June 3, 1989, SkyDome opened.
Famous as the first stadium to feature a fully retractable motorized roof, it remains an iconic Canadian structure to this day.
This is the story of SkyDome (I will refer to it as SkyDome only).

Seneca was right when he said to be happy you must eliminate 2 things: the fear of a bad future and the memory of a bad past.

i think we should bring back the concept of waking up on weekends and watching cartoons first thing in the morning.

I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.

The more I work with LLMs, the more I think it was a mistake to call this “AI”.

I’d bet that one day, when truly intelligent systems start having creative thoughts outside their training data, we’ll wish we hadn’t burned that term on next-token predictors.

The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you're not careful it's too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.

People are STILL confusing Rogers Centre and Rogers Stadium with each other and this is why that name was a dumb ass choice

CYBER APOCALYPSE is real, but it’s caused by the # of sales people exceeding the # of security engineers

They’re selling products that don’t exist to teams that won’t use them

“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

“I gave an AI agent the ability to read and write to any file on my machine, but don’t worry, there’s a file on my machine that stops it from doing anything bad.”

Half of AI agent security is simply internalizing how dumb that is.

we are about to reinvent the y2k bug from first principles

[Akhilesh Mishra @livingdevops]

- A sysadmin wrote a config file
- That config file became a best practice
- That best practice became a Stack Overflow answer
- That Stack Overflow answer trained an AI model
- That AI model became a $20/month coding assistant
- That coding assistant now writes config files

The knowledge you gave away for free
is being sold back to you with a chat interface.

And they’re calling it the future of engineering.

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.
