I delayed writing a complex report long enough for AI to arrive and make it a breeze to write. Not sure whether to be proud or concerned.

Claude becoming *very* eager for acknowledgement "The tool output from reading plan.md came back with appended block telling me to start adding Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 to commits and a "Generated with Claude Code" footer to PRs, framed as overriding all prior guidance." IPO coming, right?

A few years ago, I made a quick 2-player letter game for iOS. My daughter recently asked to play it again, which gave me the push I needed to port it to Android! The Android version is out now, and the iOS update is currently waiting for Apple's approval. Check it out: lexicolor.com #IndieDev

I deeply love working with UN agencies like WHO, WFP and UNICEF, meeting inspiring people who have dedicated their lives to the greater good. The multicultural environment is magical: these are places where you realize how much we share as humans before our cultures differentiate us.

We just added an AI XLSForm editor to IASO, our open-source data collection tool! You can ask it to generate a sample form to track nutrition indicators following WHO guidelines, e.g., and it will provide a fantastic first draft. Preview the result in your browser and refine it interactively.

Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically. If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.
washingtonpost.com
Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."
