Saw a great talk about handcrafted code by @charity.wtf at #ldx3ny. This talk needs trigger warnings! If you're someone like me who prefers to write code by hand, this talk will force you to consider some uncomfortable questions about what you're really trying to build and why.

@gergely.pragmaticengineer.com don't forget there's always another option: recognize that the goal should not be producing more code but rather more *value*. Once you do that you realize that this volume of PRs is probably getting in the way of achieving the goal. substack.com/home/post/p-...

True words, from Iain Banks in Consider Phlebas

Screenshot from the book 'Consider Phlebas' by Iain Banks. The passage reads 'Still, the underlying point held; experience as well as common sense indicated that the most reliable method of avoiding self-extinction was not to equip oneself with the means to accomplish it in the first place.'

Here’s a new dig for you to learn: A statement similar to Hanlon's razor appears in Robert A. Heinlein's 1941 novella "Logic of Empire". The character Doc in the story describes the "devil theory" fallacy, explaining, "You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity."

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

photograph of the relevant passage in Fitzgerald's translation of the Odyssey ("I make no bed of love with you upon it. Or swear me first a great oath, if I do, you'll work no more enchantment to my harm.")

Just tuned into the last 15 minutes of Spain v Portugal, enough time to start to get bored, notice the player with truly outstanding hair, watch an absolutely gorgeous goal, then some minor fisticuffs. This soccer thing is pretty cool.

Many people have recommended 'A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear' by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, which is an outstanding read for many reasons. I also think the author had an unreasonable amount of fun writing this, exemplified by this passage about Professor Butt and his study of colonialism. Enjoy.

Screenshot of an excerpt from the book 'A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear', with several passages highlighted that show the author's repeated double entrende with the use of the word 'Butt'.

It's been long accepted that, as Messrs. Bell, Biv & DeVoe put forth, one should "Never trust a big butt and a smile." But it raises new questions: Is a joyless person with a sizable derriere inherently less poisonous? Does a grinning person with a normal-to-small tuchus pose a scaled-down threat?

AI can tell you how a word is spelled. But the work these kids do to solve those words—developing study tactics, identifying linguistic patterns, honing their ability to perform under pressure—is something a computer can’t do for you. The Bee is a reminder of what the human brain is capable of.

"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said. "To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child." "Are you sure?" "You think it frivolous?" "No. But to grant it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories." "Would my life change?" "You ask that every time."
