Me: ugh, modern landmark architecture is just rich people showing off how much money they have. What happened to restrained displays of class and taste? 18th Century Scotland: PINEAPPLES!!!

The Dunmore House Pineapple. It’s a Georgian building that looks like, well, a pineapple. It was made in 1761 when pineapples were some of the most fashionable objects on the planet, and, honestly, there isn’t much more to it than that.

The Finnish far right is in a schizophrenic, closeted situation where the history they glorify kinda requires them to be extreme racist Russophobes, but at the same time the manly man authoritarianism of Russia, with legalized wife-beating and "family values" (LOL) is so extremely tempting.

what if video is winning over text not because people prefer video over text but because video platforms have good recommender systems and random reward loops and text platforms largely don't. goodreads can't compete with the youtube recommender system

See if you use Electron you have to bundle a whole Chromium instance So it's 100+ MB But if you use Qt it's a lot smaller, because every distro ships Qt But none of them ship the Qt you need, so you do have to bundle Qt So it's 100+ MB

I saw a pretty major contributor to Rust projects making the case for LLMs being used in programming, and one of the things they liked is that you can ask it all the technical questions you want without feeling embarrassed, and what an indictment of the work culture of software engineering that is.
