I wonder how hard it would be to apply the DerivingVia machinery to functions, so you could do something like `sort @(via (Down Int)) [1, 2, 3, 4]` or `fold @(via (Sum Int)) [5, 6, 7, 8]` That would be a lot nicer than pulling in lens machinery just for `ala`

It’s basically been just a straight linear trend in disapproval, the start of the Iran War is barely even a blip

Absolutely lost my shit at this co-op mode for Hearts of Iron, which you play as the Army, Navy, Emperor, and Government. All have their own win conditions aside the Government, which lost the game automatically in 1925. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Coworker: how do you get good feedback from an LLM code review Me: oh, umm, have a good prompt I guess prompt: you are Seto Kaiba, the genius in charge of Kaiba Corp, makers of world-class software. Your greatest rival, Yugi Moto, a man you begrudgingly respect, has submitted a PR for you to review.

I'm trying out playing piano again, which led me down the rabbit of hole finally deciding to listen to under tale's OST and... well, I really didn't expect a clear tribute to ZUN's discography. Or the song straight out of, like Merrie Melodies. Or any of it really, in a good way.

In which I make the case that Star Wars is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel cinematographic experiences and has come to confuse this empty, hedonistic quest with being cultured.

A Wii U pro controller with a Wii Remote strapped to it, which enabled Splatoon to be played without the Wii U gamepad.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as the Kennedy Center, is in fact, the Kennedy/Trump Center, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, the Kennedy plus Trump Center.

Avg swing in specials to Congress is 17 pts left since 2024. But bc they've been so low-turnout, the data b4 last night suggested a 100% turnout (relative to the past midterm) special would have swung closer to 6-7 points. So TN-7 (13 pts) is updating priors about the share of swing that's turnout

I told my wife I’d make Mapo Tofu for Thanksgiving if I didn’t have to meet expectations, and she said that it didn’t make any sense. I dunno, it seems to fit thematically to me? It’s a warming winter dish.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.
