Yeah I learned that one in 11th grade, US public school.
'Trump'+'Ukraine' would be interesting to see.
Nominations?
Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17
Is anyone playing FFXIV these days? I’m looking to pick it back up.
No problem. Have a nice day! 👋

What do you think 'arrest' means?
I don't believe in 'censorship', but I don't believe in platforming a killer's manifesto either.
Perhaps the combination of it glowing, yet arriving so slowly, that suggests some terminal-phase maneuverability.
Twitch (Amazon) just sent me this in email. AFAICT, this image is a *complete fiction*. They must be really desperate.
The post includs a link to the list maintained on Wikipedia.
Imagine how much energy we could save if we could just convince a fraction of those people who are baking pies to spend that time using generative AI instead. BAKE IMAGES NOT PIES
Except that it's not actually particularly uncommon for pathogens to escape a lab. It is a semi-regular occurrence. This is how a virus endemic to a region in Africa came to be named after Marburg, a town in West Germany. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... (I'm not attached to either interpretation)
I would be interested in hearing NotebookLM's attempt to make a chirpy fun Planet-Money-esque podcast episode out of this.
Like Earth, half the Moon is always* lit by the Sun (its daytime), half in the dark like (its night). But the Moon orbits Earth ~12 times faster than Earth does the Sun, so we see its day side (full Moon), its night side (new Moon), and all the angles inbetween over a ~30 day cycle. *almost
I'm pretty sure my dog actually did go to live on a farm, because within a year we got word he'd been killed by a tractor.
I thought a "40% chance of rain" implied a 60% chance that nobody would get any rain.
The dictionary definition surprised me too when I looked it up the other day. I'd have said it meant holding others to a different standard of behavior than yourself. But obviously that's a very closely related concept.
As I recall that "business" was rapidly advancing towards Moscow at one point. Would love to know what his endgame was for that.
Turkey, Yugoslavia, USA are all I can come up with

Whenever I'm feeling excessively loved or appreciated, I know I can always turn to the BlueSky community for some words of discouragement. ❤️ clearsky.app/marshray.bsk...
Every complaint about "the top 5% are ruining the earth" bitch that's you the planes of the elite IS ANY PLANE YOU ARE ON
I'm all for empowering web apps with appropriate user-consent, but it's absolutely flipping ridiculous that there's no browser toggles to turn off the ability of arbitrary websites to: 1. Take full-screen 2. Disable the keyboard 3. Hide the mouse cursor Each could easily require permission.
The official Twitter account of the Government of Pakistan has posted footage from the video game ARMA 3, claiming it shows a real military response to alleged Indian aggression. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/pakistani-go...
It served a purpose in C, to keep track of object types in a very weakly-typed API in which nearly everything was implicitly convertible to void* or int. I too still find it useful.
Just finished *Fire Upon the Deep*. The picture he paints of future communications (e.g., social media) and AI holds up really well and is extraordinarily prescient considering its from 1992.
You're supposed to hold it over a 150 W incandescent light bulb for 10 minutes?
I wonder how much EM radiates from Earth at 50 and 60 Hz and harmonics.
It's amazing how often even big companies like Hewlett Packard Enterprise aka "Aruba" get this wrong.
I left there to get away from that. Muted.

Aye, Christmas Eve. I remember this day well.
Worse than 'missing mass' you reckon?
Right? Those freaking randos on the internet
Oh, this is one for the "likely to age well" file.

Great to see how far we’ve come in vulnerability disclosure. The MBTA learned it can be chill, and the kids are alright. https://www.wired.com/story/mtba-charliecard-hack-defcon-2023/
I got into making comics for a bit
Ernest Saves Christmas
And there have been detections in the wastewater there.
A jar for your brain. Reserve yours today.
There is some debate about how to accurately describe longer-range ATACMS missile Ukraine can now use. News articles and even producer call it long-range. But @timothysnyder.bsky.social is correct its range puts it in short-range category. The one they’ve used until now is combat-range.
Then don't. No worries. I'm just saying things that I think some people may find useful or interesting.

I know it’s not Friday but I would welcome infosec and cryptography follow recommendations. Interesting cryptocurrency people also ok.
Hello, all you new (and reunited) followers! Apologies in advance for being generally annoying and way less cool than all the Bsky rockstars. 😅

The conscious embrace and enabling of anti-vax by the GOP leaders, the ones who know better, is probably one of the most unambiguously evil things I’ve seen in my lifetime.
Over the last few days, H5N1 began showing up in wastewater in some places known more for their people populations than their dairy herds.

The AI conjures a boat of limited capacity and uses it to leave the hungry child on the far side of the river to protect the food. Every time.

What if "I'm gonna do evil and you're gonna love it" is simply an easier thing to sell than "I will pursue fairness to the benefit of all" ?
I have done this and have usually learned something. But it requires a solid investment of time, and listening, with no guarantee of meaningful return. I find that most people prefer to pick their own, less abstract, discussion topics.
As I recall the data is pretty clear that a great many/most 'undecided' voters have already locked-in who they're going to vote (or not) for months before they admit to pollsters - or themselves.
System line printers of Unix era used "ASA" or "machine" carriage control codes. These did not have the concept of "LF without CR". CRLF was probably chosen by CP/M (precursor to DOS) for driverless compatibility with some desktop dot matrix printer.
81 million people braved a deadly pandemic to put Biden in office and he completely fucking failed to deal with the coup plotters, which was literally the ONLY THING he needed to get right
I was at a job in 2016 with models quite reliant on emission data from the EPA. And yes our team started downloading everything immediately. Start archiving shit now, seriously!
I made a video to distract you while your neighbors vote to decide if you are a person or not.
oh, I am glad to see you sigh

I have been thinking about this and there is no scenario short of a planet-killing asteroid that would make a mars colony a better choice for human life than earth

Aww, you guys!! Thanks so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes. And special thanks to the great Stan Kelly for gifting me with my very own Kelly cartoon!

Family is shopping for a home appliance right now. We will not be considering anything made by LG. LG sucks. (via Xitter)
Thank you for doing this, I have really appreciated it!
It looks to me like maybe it started two buildings nearby and merged them?
Can we please make Steve welcome here. Any advice? Any welcome info for new comers?
When all your ambitious plans had to be squeezed into 1 KB of ROM, it was worth spending energy trying to save every byte. Spend enough time banging one's head on symbols and a person will begin matching patterns into shortcuts and abbreviations. Found it: devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/...
