I asked my 1-year-old if she wanted to read a book with me. She brought me this book, then walked away.

From American Airlines this morning: "Due to the prolonged government shutdown, the FAA has directed all airlines, including American, to reduce flight schedules at certain airports starting Friday, Nov. 7." Cool. No one travels in November, right? 🙃

The latest releases of @cilium.io and cert-manager are both 1.18.2. I briefly thought I had just installed the wrong version of one of them, but it truly is just a weird coincidence. ...or is it?

@filippo.abyssdomain.expert Is the Go Cryptographic Module validated? The Go Blog (go.dev/blog/fips140) says "validated," but it doesn't appear in the NIST list of validated modules (csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry...).

I don't understand how saying "backslash" in URLs became a mainstream mix-up. The person saying it almost always just means "slash" or "forward slash" if you're being verbose. But I hear people say "backslash" all the time. Just heard it in an ad on a podcast. I'm starting a movement. #JustSaySlash

it will never not bother me that the people building AI tools didn't first focus on making computers do the tedious drudge work that nobody likes doing and instead have spent bazillions of dollars getting computers to do the things that enrich human lives.

A piece of collateral damage in this new age is lack of understanding of the value of infrastructure. Quality infrastructure takes creativity, it’s fascinating, it’s crucial. We’ve lost the plot, relegating it to being described as a cost center. Infrastructure is muscle, infrastructure is bone.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

I don't understand people who care about terminal choice. I spend a lot of time on the command line. I mostly use iTerm2 and Warp now. I've tried GNOME Terminal, Alacritty, Kitty, Tilix, and others. They're all fine, and 95% interchangeable.
