Voyager Instruments xkcd.com/3302/
 3-panel comic. (1) [Person with shoulder-length hair gestures at diagrams on wall in front of table with three people.] PERSON 1: As the radioactive power source on *Voyager 1* weakens, we’ve been turning instruments off to conserve power. (2) PERSON 1: Only two instruments remain. Do we want to lose the plasma wave subsystem or the magnetometer? (3) PERSON 2 with ponytail: You know, if we just turned off Greg’s LED underlighting– PERSON 4 with short hair: Absolutely not. PERSON 3: Dammit, Greg. PERSON 4: I will *not* allow us to look uncool in front of aliens.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Reminder: the one (1) reason some Mormons think it's sinful to vote for Democrats is abortion, and it's because they adopted white Evangelical cultural views over Mormon ones. Mormon leaders weren't loud enough. They weren't on the radio. So some LDS became one-issue-voter Evangelicals, culturally.

#Java Structured Concurrency to be finalized in JDK 28? > This JEP proposes to finalize Structured Concurrency in JDK 28, with no changes from JDK 27. I need to see how it fares against #Kotlin #Coroutines that has a great structured concurrency story. openjdk.org/jeps/8389757
openjdk.org
JEP draft: Structured Concurrency
Simplify concurrent programming by introducing an API for structured concurrency. Structured concurrency treats groups of related tasks running in different threads as single units of work, thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability, and enhancing observability.

Spring Modulith gives you clean domain boundaries and event-driven decoupling without microservice network latency or ops overhead. You get strict architecture inside a single app, letting you move fast now and split into microservices later only if real scaling demands it.

Consistently bummed that I can’t get my daughter those Dolly Parton books because I don’t live somewhere that has an org to pay for it.
It’s because Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is not automatically available nationwide, or even statewide in Texas. A local organization has to act as the program’s “Local Program Partner,” define the ZIP codes it will serve, enroll the children, and raise enough money to pay for the books and shipping. The Dollywood Foundation handles the infrastructure, book selection, bulk purchasing and mailing, but the local partner pays the per-child cost.
