Interesting reading Matthew Prince’s blog post. Essentially there was an assumption that the internally generated (config file) input is going to be valid. Feels kinda sloppy to me. I generally assume input could be garbage in every case. 90% of my code is validation and 10% is doing the thing.

Ok so it was unexplained. Could be some sinister things that would be untreatable at his age anyway if we knew about them. So maybe he’s got another life left in him.

Neither ChatGPT or Gemini seem to make this mistake for me. I know the strawberry problem was a real thing till recently, so maybe they just patched it?

I don’t love the dress but why are so many British people squeamish about something such as seeing a hint of nipple? Seems at worst unremarkable to me. Who cares? It’s frankly embarrassing that we are like this

Yep. Nobody accused him of having “gay ornaments” – whatever the hell those are – in his miserable and terrible-sounding home, yet he felt it necessary to mention that he has none 🤔
Bizarre tweet from cunt Andrew Tate that reads: “our house is the ultimate man cave.
Police cant get in for 45mins while we smoke cigars because everythings bullet proof.
We have a gym and a podcast studio and all we do is train and work.
The dream.
Not a gay ornament in site. Zero

.
A page from The Twits by Roald Dahl, with illustrations. It reads: "If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

I thought they were black. I’m have mild deuteranomoly. So dark green = assume black. They don’t look that strongly green to me in this shot. I guess it’s dark and there is a colour cast from how it’s graded. In white light I’d probably have seen the true colour.
