"Structured data, also known as reports, are keyword lists and maps" I had not heard them called "reports" before, TIL! I like to back my log entries with a struct and add a little bit of machinery with Map.from_struct/1 so as to not get __struct__: MyLog in the output.

Turns out installing signal via extrepo means it lags behind... a lot? I went back to the way they say on their site: signal.org/download/ and it bumped from 8.17.0 to 8.28.0

AI IS SO GOOOOD!!!
Screenshot of a Dell AI Virtual Assistant shitting the bed when asked a simple question: Compare the XPS 13-inch with the XPS 14-inch, where it responds that it couldn't locate a XPS 13-inch model. The model is in the screenshot. I'm on that model's page.

Mathematicians at OpenAI announced that a group of 10,000 autonomous AI agents under their direction proved that the Navier-Stokes equations can “blow up,” thus solving one of the six remaining Millennium Prize Problems. The result is not without controversy. www.quantamagazine.org/ai-has-solve...

This Spring, PPS said they were going to close 5-10 schools. Recently that number jumped to possibly 20 schools. They haven't published a list yet, but they haven't ruled out closing very popular focus option (STEM, arts, etc) schools, some of which are the last few K-8 in the district.

@budgetcommitteepod.bsky.social hi there! I found your pod from the guest episode on Have You Heard. I went to your LinkTree to find the submission form you mentioned but only found one for the Chicago event. Anyway, I'd love for you to look into Portland Public School's "Rightsizing" effort.

Even though I'm a big fan of Postgres, its lack of loose index scan is frustrating.. The workaround is a recursive query that effectively acts as a loop, which is even more bizarre. Check out this new blog post about the performance issue with Postgres SELECT DISTINCT: www.dbos.dev/blog/postgre...

Postgres SELECT DISTINCT performs surprisingly poorly. We explain why and how we mitigated it.

By far the best tool I've seen for managing project deps (tasks & env vars too) is mise.en.dev but I still use apt or homebrew for some deps of those deps (Erlang or Postgres, for example, require deps that I wouldn't use mise to install)

What was the original injury? I've had biceps tendinopathy over the last year (mostly right arm) that a PT addressed, but now I'm starting to feel it in my left arm/shoulder. Still climbing though, smarter instead of harder. Glad to hear you're crushing!

This is an excellent suggestion (and something we've been doing for any deep changes). Typing out changes loads context into your mind in a way you'll never get from reading in a code review.
