please remember that you can get skin damage from the sun even when it's not hot and even when it's a bit cloudy. we're still close to the the solstice, so in the northern hemisphere remember your sunscreen, put on a hat if you have one, wear sunglasses, seek shade.
sun is responsible for the majority of visible skin aging and with the visible aging comes functional aging too. not to mention the risk of skin cancer.
The full moon was majestic tonight. Like a second sun peeking through the clouds. Sprinkled with an abundance of fireflies.

Boosting is really important on the Fediverse because it makes whatever you boost federate to the entire servers of all your followers. A boosted public post appears on your followers' timelines, but also becomes searchable to everyone on the servers of your followers.
Instead of an algorithm, the Fediverse relies on human beings sharing stuff they find interesting. This process creates a wonderful chain of discovery.

i hope the power outage lasts all night so I can get more of that sweet full moon illumination tonight

LLMs are mansplaining as a service, but more specifically that type of mansplainer who googles your question and replies authoritatively with the first result that comes up, despite having zero understanding himself.
Unexpected that I'm not finding any reviews of the #twiddler 4 online when I search. Has anyone actually used this thing?

Calling it now, learnable graph cellular automata will be the future of "AI coding assistants" :P
Question for #math and #ComputerScience folks: What search terms should I use to find papers related to transitioning graphs to other graphs. Kinda like graph cellular automata but more the basic operations. I want to think about code AST transforms but would like to learn about general purpose graph transforms first. Boosts appreciated.
Love it when a task takes an order of magnitude less time than expected 😎👍

Web comics about emerging technology don't generally age that well, but the passage of a mere decade hasn't blunted this one a bit.
Had a dream where the moon was taking up the entire sky.
Then a dream where a dog detective needed help solving a case. But he could only bark and honestly the clues didn't add up like he thought they did.

I feel like a pure TS workflow with Deno would be less annoying to deal with compared to slapping it onto node.js and the node_modules workflow. 🤔
Still convinced TypeScript has added 10x more complexity and struggle to catch bugs that could be caught by CI. 🤷 I guess there's the fancy intellisense stuff too but I don't use it so 🤷🤷
Async cancellation is hard.

@thegibson There are two numbers you need to know. What is the minimum bill rate you need to survive. If you don't know know your billable utilization, assume 40%. 2080 hours in 2025, assume that you'll bill 832 hours. Find the bottom number that will allow you to pay your bills.
Then find out what bill rate is usually charged for your service. Usually, it's much higher than your bottom number.
Now you know how much you can wheel and deal on billable rate. My pitch used to be be "I'll beat the going rate by 20%"
