I'm calling it T.A.S.A.F.E.

In the West, people seem to only understand death as tragedy but in Nigeria where my parents are from, when people die of old age, after living a full and prosperous life, we celebrate them. Dolly’s death feels fully resolved to me. She got her flowers while she was still alive. She knew what she meant to the entire world. If you never listened to the Dolly Parton’s America podcast, you should. RIP to an icon. Her songwriting, her humor, her non-judgmental presence. What an angel. 🦋

I don't know if there's anything I can care less about than VR at this point. I mean, I called this a decade ago. Have the laws of physics changed since then? Have we invented radically new things? https://blog.codinghorror.com/i-tried-vr-and-it-was-just-ok/

CISSP in a nutshell

sure, `TODO` in code is bad, but *not in the implementation of the lint that detects TODO* lol

EVERY TIME I make a change to tidy (rustc's sourcecode linter) I think it can't be that hard and then suddenly it's 4 hours later. And of course my change just broke in CI, by stumbling over the implementation *of the lint itself* and linting it as incorrect.

pop-ups? kids these days don't know the horrors of pop-unders

they put bleeps and guitars in the same song. is that legal

After I got the "right answer", I asked myself the question that I ask all AI boosters when they say that it worked, which is "'worked' compared to what?". And I realize that the pre-AI tools for finding solutions via human connection have all decayed as a result of the funding pumped into the AI versions. Case in point being Stack Overflow; SO has degraded so much that it didn't even *occur* to me to post my question there.

"Our results show that fungi in fjord sediments can efficiently retain labile organic matter as biomass, which means they may contribute directly to carbon storage at the seafloor."

"You're going to be left behind if you don't embrace Ai."

Okay. Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills. Leave my ability to be creative, to brainstorm solutions. Leave my common sense. My judgement. My ability to research and fact check. Leave me alone with my thoughts and my philosophies. Leave me with my art and my poems and my music. Go ahead. Leave me behind. Leave all that to me. It's mine.

I put the desktop in a window on Windows 2000 and set it to Thumbnails view and my gf exclaimed “it's Windows 8!”
