@elonmusk@jk_rowling@elonmusk and yet all most of us on the liberal side of this argument want is that such decisions should be left to parents and the doctors they trust rather than being subject to law and political whim. Or do your libertarian principles only apply to the freedoms you value?
I thought I'd just add a 'Message me on X' link to a website today. Wow. How hard is it to find a recipient id? Free API turned off. Google hits are all stale. Chat GPT is just laughably wrong... @elonmusk do you just not want my traffic?
@FISSIONcodes Just as regular currency permits the economy to function (mainly) without a controlling authority, so cryptocurrencies permit certain algorithms to function without central coordination. The distributed web builds an internet free of monopoly control using those algorithms.
Fun weekend with my first day learning to weld at @yorktech and watching my wife perform with @freereigntheatr in Jekyll and Hyde. Marred only by one of our dogs getting sick. Now waiting at the vets, contemplating the rebuild of the software plumbers website on @IPFS
Idly wondering today if โreductio ad Armageddonโ should be a thing. There are a lot of things we just have to be right about, because the alternative is just too horrible to contemplate.
I've often derided project management methodologies as meaningless rituals that deliver only the illusion of control in situations where we are basically powerless.
Today I finally moved it. I moved because the ritual of moving a card from 'Doing' to 'Done' on my Notion task board delivered an immediate reward in the way that the expectation of a tiny future time efficiency never has.
The verbal reasoning skills we use for making complex decisions evolved to win social arguments. Logic is accidental feature. This knowledge can be used to understand and moderate or own behavior, or to manipulate others. *Be* the meta-good!
An unexpectedly hard part of #WorkingInPublic - actually putting ideas out there to be challenged. Today's idea: https://t.co/XDPs0OJQHF - even if it proves unworkable, grateful to my colleagues @FISSIONcodes and the @IPFS community for the opportunity to contribute.
Or so I thought. Sliding rails are more complicated. As it turns out - they can jam. When they do, try offlining and unstacking 8u of servers just to get one out. Not the first time a complicated fix for the obvious failure mode created a less-obvious problem.
Go for the sliding rails and cable management arms, right? Slide the server out, no need to unplug everything, do the work, and slide it back in. Much easier and safer than having to detach every cable and take the darned thing out completely.
