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

TIL, Arizona is the 2nd lowest state in charitable giving in the US. This year, I gave time and/or money to several organizations. But maybe I didn't Google "Charitable Donations" enough. [see methodology] wallethub.com/edu/most-and...

I slightly prefer the southern option, myself. Except I got 3 different flat tires in 3 separate incidents in the span of ~150 miles in East Texas/Louisiana once.

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...).

Go now has a built-in, native FIPS 140-3 compliant mode.

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

This is the reality for a lot of people, but it's not the only possible system. I hope at least a few people don't get comfortable with it and start to popularize a better way.

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.

Have you actually demoed FSD? My Tesla is a 2016, and it's definitely a misnomer for that version. I hear it's better on new cars.

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.

YTD has been bad, but if you've been investing for longer than a year, you're probably still up. It sucks that this downturn is unnecessary and avoidable, but it's hardly the end of days...so far.

Maybe it's just because I would be collateral damage in this scenario, but I'm skeptical Trump supporters would see the light if Fox News tells them it's Biden's fault, or whatever story they come up with next.

Hot take: If you're sitting in a large room with rows of mostly empty chairs, don't take the first seat on the aisle. It just means the next person has to climb over you.
