Missed opportunity to say they’re ‘looking for a rock star to lead our team!’

0.1s if you note the domain TLD. ;)

Getting William Gibson flashbacks.

I also wouldn’t put it past Flynn to rename ‘root’ to ‘backdoor’ as a joke.

Tron 2 for Daft Punk and Michael Sheen chewing scenery.

The US version (the DM250US) is now $549, alas. I was looking at these briefly, but can’t justify the expense — might as well get a MacBook Neo if I were in the market.

The first paragraph, and the one directly above the one about knowing more about furniture:

There is a theory, popular among certain very old and very tired philosophers, that all memories take up a kind of furniture in the head. The good ones are armchairs. The painful ones are filing cabinets, usually full. And then there are the memories that are neither: the ones that arrive uninvited, settle in, and start terrorising the other occupants by kicking over the chairs.

LGR just did a video on this table:

They’re throwing something around.

Given climatic effects from the industrial revolution onward (and perhaps with a pro-lunar bias), it would make more sense to get rid of humans to reduce the frequency of catastrophes! ;)

Use minutes if you need a D12 and are playing very slowly. ;)

I suspect that will get you trapped in a Myst linking book if you’re not careful! ;)

Could be Cook leaving, or could be even sooner:

Username checks out.

So the opposite of a Trojan Horse? A Greek Gateway?

2026 is the 60th anniversary of Rocannon’s World, the first novel of her Hainish Cycle SF books. I’m rereading all of them over the course of the year to celebrate.

She is one of my writer-heroes.

Doing your job and doing your job well are two different things, of course. The innovation is going to have to be in how to return to the latter when they’ve lost their way. Or, perhaps more accurately, been led astray by conflicting priorities.

They’ve done it recently with their hardware. Past time for the other side of the house to refocus.

On a Mac keyboard, Option-Shift-hyphen gives an em-dash. It’s muscle memory now after decades. For the true connoisseurs, Option-hyphen does an en-dash, mostly used for number ranges (e.g. 2000–2022). On iOS, double-hyphens can auto-correct to em-dashes.

I’ve definitely been reducing my day-to-day use of em-dashes the last year due to the negative AI association, but also because I decided I was overusing them even before that emerged.

This will hopefully give me more energy for campaigns to champion the interrobang (‽) and to reintroduce the letter thorn (Þ) to English.

Kids these days forgetting what blog is short for! ;)

Or the opposite: cooling the interior to a survivable temperature.

If you’ve done so as moss, I salute your ability to use human technology to post!

There’s a Marko Pollo joke, too, but I’m too chicken to say it.

Which reminds me of the other old email sig:

Don’t anthropomorphize computers. They hate that.

I suppose they were simply working on their assigned tasks, listening to others in the background. How effective is that - I don't know.

If I’m doing that, I’m taking notes on the meeting. As long as the agenda items are at all relevant.

Turning “Reduce Transparency” on in Accessibility > Display will solidify the menubar in both light and dark modes.

I go through phases with transparency off or on.

Depending on your path to get there, the Jovian system’s radiation might kill you before you hit the atmosphere.

You likely don’t have a say in the matter, but you should have a junior developer. That’s where senior developers come from.

I keep thinking about how much feature lists like this could be matched by the Finder/File Explorer and my favorite text editor.

I’ve had Warside wishlisted on Steam for a year now, as it looks to be just that. And when I looked it up just now to double-check the name, looks like it’s coming out next month! Fingers crossed.
