There is no reason your beautiful daughter should learn calculus. You really want to start with a semester of general topology, followed by enough measure theory to be dangerous.

This is a good making-of podcast (as always), but there's a lot of material about the later adventures of Carl Rinsch that should not be missed.

Everyone In This LEGO Dispute Should Have Spoken To A Lawyer Earlier Than They Did
On Techdirt, we often complain about lawyers and bad lawyering and bad cases. But there are times when lawyers are helpful, and my one-sentence summary after spending many days trying to understand a viral dispute about some old Star Wars LEGO sets is that a lot of people should have spoken to competent lawyers before doing... whatever the fuck they decided to do here.

Disappointed to see talk of keyboard radicals and it’s just Twitter chuds instead of maniacs who want to put linear Hall Effect switches on their Cornes.

Every time I make a mut variable in Rust, the analyzer pops up to warn me that it doesn't need to be mut, because of course I haven't mutated it yet. It's the same energy as that annoying kid in class who's just coiled in wait for an opportunity to correct the teacher. (I was that kid).
The Rust analyzer being pedantic about a mut variable not needing to be mutable, because I haven't finished mutating it yet.

Box score of a bad basketball game. In the third quarter, the Nuggets have scored 39 points to the Pelicans' 11.

So little tension in this Nuggets/Pelicans game that the announcers are showing the audience their favorite pens.

Turned on the stadium feed for the Warriors game and learned that it's Pride Night Presented by Accenture. Bullshit corporate diversity astroturf feels almost refreshing in late 2025.

The refs in this Cal game have decided that talking to their friends in the review center is more fun than watching the game.

We loved little Horst, didn’t we, folks? I called him Horsty. His mother, we called her Frau Wessel. Frau. That’s not a word we use now, Frau. A lot of people thought it was a good word.

If your idea of fun is watching something exciting happen, and then forty seconds later having it be invalidated by the refs, this TSU/Cal game is for you.

Planning to make some friends who are fans of Greek tragedy, and then to invite them over to my house and earnestly talk about the Oresteia and then, at just the right moment, to shout, “EUMENIDEEZ NUTS,” and then run out of the room. Then I will need to make more friends.

I don't want to get into a whole thing and risk engaging That Guy, but I'll just say: it's not okay to say bad things. I've probably said too much and he'll probably block me, whoever he is and whatever I'm talking about.
