Pour one out

April is the cruelest month

It's so ironic. I've had several Thinkpads over the years and I've repaired or upgraded every one of them, from RAM, SSDs, an upgraded screen, and a new fan/heatsink assembly. I ha…

It's the government. They care more about creating objective standards so they can't be sued for bias than they do about hiring the best people.

The entirety of the government doesn't turn over every 4 years, especially at a technical org like NASA. You're still going to be working at NASA with a team of NASA people. Plus i…

It's the same hiring process for regular government jobs with references to standard pay scales. So I don't think so.

I answered honestly that I didn't and it didn't block my submission. I have the specific Computer Science/Engineering degree they spell out in length in one question (30 credit hou…

Experience necessary. From Assessment 1, which you only get to after spending $16 ordering your college transcript... > I have 1 year of directly related specialized experience equ…

I wonder how many of these rules can be enforced with static analysis and ArchUnit.

I tried to order a tablet from OnePlus. It's impossible to create an account on oneplus.com with Firefox.

This is a Spring specific gripe and I know this blog post doesn't assume Spring, but I hate seeing `new ObjectMapper()`. Spring Boot auto configures an ObjectMapper for you and you…

A more concise language is more efficient for an LLM to produce and easier for a human to verify. I don't think LLMs have solved the problem of wanting code that's concise and also…

Much more complicated than necessary. I just use git branch | xargs git branch -d Don't quote me, that's off the top of my head. It won't delete unmerged branches by default. The l…

Looks like the work of modern Pythagoreans

This is the guy that promised 1000% discounts on drugs.

"Well we brought it back up, but for some reason it's full of racist vitriol and CSAM now." "Oh, no, it was like that before."

I just got this Betterment app notification

Lambdas weren't simple to shoehorn into Java. But most of the recent changes have been implemented as well or better, or as well as you could imagine while maintaining backwards co…

Clojure's core.logic is based on minikanren, so that fits the bill.

Having the 5 instances going at once sounds like Google Antigravity. I haven't used Claude Code too much. One snag I found is the tendency when running into snags to fix them incor…

I feel like this legitimately improves my intuition for Riemannian geometry.

SQLite's test suite is proprietary. A Rust implementation exists. It's called turso https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso There's a whole company around it.

There are newer release branches. They just have gitlab set to show an unmaintained branch by default.
