You might check out bonchi. Using bonsai techniques with chili plants can get you pleasant results quickly.

If I understand correctly, LoRa can be applied to LLMs

This feels like the delightful oddities one would stumble across on the Old Internet. Thank you for sharing!

Open source is one person: https://opensourcesecurity.io/2025/08-oss-one-person/

A whole lot of people don't have that available, but it's a good deal if you can get it.

Cloudflare is domiciled in the USA, where shareholder supremacy has been part of US corporate law going all the way back to Dodge v Ford Motor Co. in 1919.

Now, it's in Cali, where it's not as strong a statement as in some other states, but it's still got a lot of precedent behind it.

Digestives are a bit thicker, but the ones I had while over there weren't substantially so. You're less likely to get the shared experience of dealing with the goopy mess all over your fingers because your graham is shattering at the first bite.

Like they said, for a small elite. If you don't see yourself as such, adjust your view.

I've been using a mortar and pestle. Easy to control fineness and no plastic to be concerned with.

Y'all are getting multiple job offers?

IMHO, Fedora's Atomic Desktops[^1] are the way to go for that. Automatic upgrades you can roll back if something breaks? Yes, please.

Universal Blue[^2] has some spins that got a glow up, but their dev team gives a bit of the "everything old is bad" vibe.

OpenSUSE's MicroOS[^3] desktops aren't ready for nontechnical people, but their atomic upgrade strategy is much faster and simpler (btrfs snapshots). I'm keeping an eye on it.

It could be useful for, for instance, sharing photos with family, meeting notes, etc. Doesn't have to be piracy.

We've done the protest thing. In the past decade, millions of people have protested, repeatedly, trying to change parts of this trajectory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstra...

A bunch of Americans have been taught that protests only "count" if they don't inconvenience anyone. Laws have been changed to make effective protest impossible. It's legal to ram protesters with your car in Florida, for instance. The cops use force to suppress protests and the media tells everyone your protest was invalid because it broke the law.

If we press the point more aggressively, we'll probably start another civil war. The right holds Rittenhouse up as a hero, and that's not an isolated thing. For decades, average, rank-and-file GOP voters have made jokes and jabs about shooting liberals. It used to be a few tasteless blowhards, but it's commonplace now. See also comments from Kevin Roberts about how the "second American Revolution" will be "bloodless if the left allows it."

There are resistance movements extant and forming, but it's a wicked problem. The size and population of the US requires more resources and participants to make an impact. The speed at which the situation is changing makes it hard to find purchase to do so.

Do external deadlines help you?

In some cases, time pressure can focus me and get me to a solution faster, but I then need downtime to recharge. I don't think I've worked in that sort of environment since working in food service or at a movie theater.

Deadlines often just stress me because I can't effectively reason about the intervening time.

Unless you get them very young, eating the leaves is reminiscent of chewing sandpaper. Now you have me wondering if it would be palatable juiced, maybe as part of a smoothie.

It may not be an ecological danger, but it can be a pain. Yes, other vines can grow as quickly, but most of them have smaller leaves and less propensity to carpet entire areas. I think the visual impact may make it feel more impactful and lend to its mythologization.

Pascal is still kicking around in the modern realm: https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I've not run it against it yet, but it's part of their Makefile: https://github.com/mjl-/mox/blob/2c003991bb98025582195d4f6a4...

If this had been around 20 years ago, I suspect hosting your own mailserver wouldn't have fallen out of vogue.

What games would you classify as enlightenmentware?

https://linedit.common-lisp.dev/ can do the same for SBCL and other CLs

"Pretty rare unless you do something bad."

Or there are layoffs.

I've worked with judges. I could give you a mapping of charges to local judges where I'd prefer the judgement of 12 random people off the street.

This isn't a normal job. We don't hire 6 to 23 people for a single job, and jurors aren't random. Yes, jury summons are sent randomly, but they'll have hundreds summoned and then jury selection starts. It's not unlike a job interview. If someone is on the jury who's going to be biased or unreasonable, that's a failure of their legal counsel.

I think the ice cream would be a bigger concern for diabetics.

As any machine learning dev knows, building an accurate utility function is a bugaboo.

I was getting different results depending on when I run it. Took me a second to realize it was my processor frequency scaling.
