Turns out I already solved Navier-Stokes and didn't even realize? Shared the solution + lean proof last month for a video game project. My blog doesn't get traction so I guess nobody noticed? Sucks to be cheated out of the $1,000,000! I didn't even know. wirenook.net/navier-stokes/

I absolutely loved Metal Garden, but I can’t write a Steam review of it because I didn’t play on Steam. Still have some thoughts though.

OK, so just as I have to yell at my fellow Americans "air conditioners *are* heat pumps!" to combat basic ignorance of what the tech actually is, Europeans need to hear "heat pumps *are* air conditioners" because y'all are making arguments which don't make sense if you see why heat pumps are good.

We could also open Pandora's box and make it ISP's problem to notify you if you're suspected to be a member of one to help the boomers out but right now I'm not certain ISP's are incentivised to fight residential proxxies at all... Also it'll just turn into another arms race.

Normally I'd agree with the "regulation bad" folks but we need a stopgap to starve out the legal ones that are wreaking havoc right now by cutting off their corporate customers. I guess I'd like a temporary 5yr law or something

Residential proxxies are a huge threat to the open internet, and something we should consider legislation against. If you've never heard of them, I think it's a good 5 minute subject to read up about as an informed voter.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

I absolutely CANNOT stand how, when I open a new terminal in VSCode with ctrl + `, it lets me start typing my command and then 10 seconds later sends a SIGINT and tries to inject its *own* environment activation command while I'm typing, dooming both of us.
