Oh that’s a dreamboat 😍

Holy shit, y'all. When I said it was expensive, I didn't know USA expensive. I just got a 3 month supply for €1,250. You could fly over and still save money.

Dark-themed screenshot of a two-column pricing table comparing the approximate monthly cash price of a four-week supply of Mounjaro without insurance by location. The table lists: Belgium, lower doses: €232.80 (about $266); Belgium, 7.5 mg: around €326 (about $373), with a note that the exact Belgian public price is not consistently published online; United States, cash/discount price: about $1,087; United States, average retail price: about $1,348; U.S. manufacturer list price: roughly $1,080–$1,112. The comparison emphasizes that prices shown for Belgium are much lower than typical U.S. prices.

I’m on it too and love it! The health benefits are magnificent. I have hashimotos and it helps my inflammation. My wife’s blood pressure is down. We’re both losing weight at about the same rate as you. I’m lucky if I can stay on it forever. Just need to afford it.

I'll be releasing the source code once it's done, but Sol said this:

Dark-themed technical documentation explains how the Wishbringer interactive-fiction game runs in a modern browser: a React interface sends commands through the RemGlk bridge to the Bocfel Z-machine interpreter compiled to WebAssembly, which reads and updates the original .z3 story file. A numbered list expands the process, noting that Bocfel executes the game inside the browser sandbox, translates classic text-adventure operations into JavaScript data, and lets React update the transcript, map, score, artwork, and controls; the final paragraph compares the .z3 file to a program for a fictional 1980s computer rather than modern x86, ARM, or JavaScript code.

Love it, thank you for the feedback. The consistency is challenging but concrete examples help (I've done about 3 rounds so far). You know what is SO COOL? This actually runs Infocom's zmachine under the hood, so Sol had to check if it was possible to save state and it is. Just revert snapshot.

Oh how cool! Thank you for playing 😊 It's a game for beginners so I will add in a way to undie. It'll be helpful, too, for those who have been eaten by a grue.

*Wrox. Dictation not so good.

One of my favorite things to do when I lived in San Diego was to go to the San Diego Technical Bookstore and look at Rocks books. I was very saddened by their demise.

Loved ones mourn Sorrento Valley man killed while walking dog near train tracks

This one sales guy, Stephan Baere, I knew 25 years ago, I could still hear him say [PERSON]? THIS IS IS STEPHAN BAERE, every time someone said the name "Stephan" which is so common in Europe. He'd yell it across the office. Looked him up the other day and he passed being a hero to his dog 💔

SAME!! This loser Burke, who happened to be in sales, got 100k sign on bonus IN THE 90s! That’s like a billion dollars now. We got zero. We built all the infrastructure, he brought in no sales.

We had a shared password: benhur. Worked for everything except the mainframe which.. if you requested an account, you got sysadmin and could see all incl hardware and worst of all, the billing rates of each attorney, which was practically IP. I reported it but “only you could figure that out” so 🤷🏻‍♀️

dude, you were AT hp.com doing replication, which has always been a challenge. total win, would read your books.

Writing dbatools and writing a game feel exactly the same 💖 Thank you for enjoying my SQL Server-based game.

brian knight! i wanted to be on that list so bad, but i was practically a child of 27 years.

Yesssss! Did you also have SQL Server 2008 Administration in Action by Rod Colledge? That was my other favorite book later on. I wrote to him and asked if he'd be writing any other books and he said no, writing books is impossibly hard. Which is true. Especially ones of the caliber he wrote.

I loooooove DQ! Nice to meet a fellow fan. I am working on rebuilding my other favorite game, Infocom's Wishbringer and my first prompt was "making this text based game like Dragon Quest" then evolved it a bit. It's my side project when my other projects are running long prompts 😊

I had the series' next iteration on my bookshelf when I lived in San Francisco back in 2006/2007. I always preferred the single author versions of Wrox though. Didn't remember having a magazine rack, I love it. I miss SQL Server Magazine so much. It was often over my head but I loved it, still.

Three black modular shelving units stand against a white wall beneath a decorative textile wall hanging. The shelves hold books, framed photos, storage boxes, folded blankets, and a few small figurines, while the rightmost unit is mostly empty, suggesting the room is being organized or rearranged.

A black leather armchair sits beside a black bookshelf near a bright window. The shelves are filled mostly with computer and technology books, including programming, software development, and IT reference titles, with an orange folded blanket, a blue storage box, and a large fish-shaped sculpture on top, creating a cozy reading nook centered around a technical book collection.

Found this gem my friends made of me when I was 20 years old, clowning how much I loved Robert Vieira's SQL Server books. Those Wrox books were the first that spoke to the audience like coworkers and not like robots ala Addison-Wesley. Now I love @manning.com, which is casual but accurate.

Fluffy mostlywhite long-haired cat with bright blue eyes lounges confidently in a fabric window hammock attached to the glass with four clear suction cups. One front paw dangles over the edge while the cat looks directly at the camera, with closed horizontal blinds behind it and the cozy perch creating the amusing impression of a tiny suspended throne.

Linus Torvalds, my man! *finger gun emoji*

per linus torvalds: I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.

Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.

Or just walk away.

AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.

It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.

There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.

Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.

But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.
