I am truly surprised at the number of people that can't recall a time in very recent history when trusted politicians, journalists, media outlets and notable public figures wittingly and unwittingly conspired to use overblown news reports & wild reactions to those reports in a feedback loop to prevent the best Presidential candidate for the American people being elected, handing the election to the best candidate for the American oligarchs instead.

I've just put together a 40 second "fast forward" video for our High Performance Graphics talk later this month: youtube.com/watch?v=gkeqny6zMD…
The animations were all hand-coded in Rust and rendered in Vello in real time. Just a screen record in OBS to add the voiceover, no other editing. This feels like a preview of the potential for this infrastructure to support high-powered creative tools.

An update to Food Expirations had to be removed (fresh index being deployed as I write this) as it introduced several proprietary components, hopefully by accident).

Gosh, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY Chinese or Russian state actors might be enthusiastically boosting a neo-fascist conspiracy to overthrow the Biden administration!

I don't know why I've been thinking so much about "Agile". Maybe looking at LinkedIn too much (for unrelated reasons) has broken some demon seal within me, but despite the fact that I'm not interacting with it now, I find myself annoyed about it more than I have been in a while. Today I guess I've got a milquetoast defense of Agile & Scrum: a lot of what they get blamed for is just management trying to go too fast, without explaining.
(ICYMI, see previous for context <mastodon.social/@glyph/1127356…>)
Glyph (@glyph@mastodon.social)
"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" from the Agile Manifesto is just a fancy rephrasing of a "personal responsibility" ideological stance; i.e. if there's a problem, fix it with individual effort rather than systemic change.Mastodon

Creating a platform for onboarding and performance reviews of “AI workers” makes as much sense as creating a cafeteria for laptops.
Even if “AI workers” were a real thing today, you won’t need HR platforms to create PTO and work from home policies for them. 🤦🏾♂️

Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke
'Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work.'

Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a short editing session when the OSM outage (apparently due to a #DDoS) occurred. So I’m keeping my tab with iD and my pending changes open (hopefully not needing to rely on LocalStorage). I wish I had used #JOSM so I could save my session to a local file, but I was on a laptop without JOSM.
