Do you think Tavares are meant to be known as The Vares outside Yorkshire?

Yet more blatant corruption from the FIA today, that should have been a VSC not a yellow all day long. Them and Liberty trying to turn a sport into an entertainment show, driver safety be damned. #F1

In need of a 32GB SD card for my car to update its satnav maps. Was sure I had some old cards lying around for my more serious cameras. Yeah… it’s been longer than I thought. Must have last used these when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

3 SD cards lined up by size: 256 MB, 2 GB, and 4 GB..!

@stephenrobles Just bought Kan Do: superb! It’s been an app I’ve toyed with making myself for years but never done it. Thanks for creating it, it’s great! (As a heavy OmniFocus user I wish OF had a similar interface or could mirror and sync with Kan Do, but that’s likely out of scope!)

Watching @tomscott talk about the stress and strain forces, and interaction between concrete and steel guide wires, thinking, “I hope there’ll be a @drdrang blog post on this…” 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzM1hpnXux4

Upgraded my home broadband today. Still can’t spell my actual name eh, Virgin Media? Perhaps I should complain to Richar Branson.

Screenshot of an email from virgin media, spelling my name as “Christophe” since the field has a 10-character limit.

@b0rk How does it do with weird characters? (He asks, having never used the shell but being Fish-curious.) I typically use -print0 on the find command and -0 on the xargs command for this reason.

Cheers to the guy sat in front of me on this 15:20 train who just produced a bottle of red and decanted about half of it straight into his wine glass. It’s been a long day for many of us, I guess.

What a lovely day: it’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

🔗 [ESSAYS] Software Bonkers craigmod.com/essays/software_bonkers I really like this arricle from @craigmod. I keep a text file titled “app ideas” with a bunch of iOS and Mac app ideas, and it genuinely feels exciting to quickly be able to develop them. I don’t know where this leaves […]

Comments against the PR generated should have the agent edit the spec (and validate with you) to hone the docs, after proving the change would result in corrected code. Documentation is the hero. 2/2

The more I think about this, and the more I do spec-driven development (with Kiro, natch), the more I think that we should only write design and specification documents for any self-contained system. Generated source code, IaC, etc. should be reviewed for changes before pushing to staging (and […]

Oasis: a nice way to close out my 30’s!

It’s somehow been a couple years since I was last in a modern art museum (which itself was wonderful for reasons beyond just the art), but Guggenheim, you had me at the puppy outside. Also reminds me of the need to revisit New York some time; it’s been such […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Hey "seniors": Ask "stupid questions" where your juniors can see you asking them and getting answers from other people. Don't make juniors feel alone in not knowing something and being the only ones asking for help.

Somewhere right now, there’s an electrician working on the wiring for a new hotel contract, thinking “let’s put the bathroom light switch behind this freestanding corner lamp.”

Mastodon 4.4, now available, has a small setting that’s a big deal. See Administration/Server Settings/Discovery, “Allow external sites to see your Mastodon server as a traffic source”. It means that every time you post a link to a site, that site is going to see as many hits as the number of […]

Think of the environment they said. Take the train to London they said. Now half my train home has been cancelled so I’m stood in a carriage with no AC for an hour, packed in like sardines. SWR, you suck.
