"The thing that nobody tells you is that you can buy a real human skull online (shoutout to skullsunlimited.com). We did that, and then CT scanned it."
I must say, going into the business of selling real human skulls, and then deciding on skullsunlimited.com as a domain is a particular kind of person.
I want to meet this person (under the promise they wont do anything to my currently-in-use skull)

Back in September, the National Federation of the Blind announced that they had begun working with me as a consultant on a range of projects. Some are public facing and you'll see those coming to fruition in the next little while. Others you may not know as much about, but are improving technology behind the scenes.
This week, the US Government has given me the right to live and work in the United States. That means I am now at liberty to say how proud I am to have accepted the role of Executive Director for Accessibility Excellence at the National Federation of the Blind. The position is based at the Jernigan Institute in Baltimore Maryland, so we have begun the huge task of preparing to relocate.
The nearly three months that I have been consulting for the NFB have been the happiest of my professional life. Members and staff have been so welcoming, and I feel like everything in my career has been leading up to using my skills in a way that can substantially improve the lives of blind people. The dedication and professionalism of the NFB team is unparalleled.
While obtaining an O1 US visa for people with extraordinary ability is tough due to the high bar that is set, it has also been a special process. I received seven references from well-known people in the blindness field in support of my visa application, and what they wrote was generous and touching. Think of it a bit like attending your own funeral without going through the hassle of actually dying. It taught me a lesson, that we often don't tell people how much we appreciate them while they are still around to hear it. I don't often stop to think about my legacy or anything grand like that, so seeing these very heart-warming references is something I will cherish.
The law firm I've been engaging with, Optimum Law, have been incredible and I can't recommend them enough if you need US immigration advice and you are in NZ.
Thanks to my four wonderful adult children and their significant others, who have been so encouraging and willing to spend weekends helping to whip the house into shape as I clear out priceless treasures, like old chargers I no longer have a device for.
And a very special thanks to my fellow adventurer, my wonderful wife Bonnie Mosen, who unreservedly supports me on this journey. Bonnie is making a positive difference in her own role at Wellington City Council, and the city will be the poorer for losing her.
Sure, it's a big deal to relocate, but I'll be among people who think about blindness the way I do, and who make good change every day. So actually, it feels like I'm coming home, and I look forward to building new friendships among my fellow blind change makers throughout the United States. Plus, home is wherever my beautiful Bonnie is.
So, see you later New Zealand. Be good, and always strive fervently to make New Zealand a place where disabled people can thrive.

Some passengers are so eager to board the train that they block half of the door width, slowing down the process of alighting.
The last train of today got delayed due to crowding, as standing passengers in the aisle prevented the driver from reaching the cabin.
#TrainFriday
This is very normal... 🤔
The typical situation at a subway train door is like that:
1) I want to get on, but standing outside the door profile to allow passengers to leave the car (I see some persons just behind the door).
2) Several seconds passed and the door remains closed. Thus I go to it and press the button.
3) The door opens, I make one step ... and collide with the passengers running out between the ones standing inside close the door (and not leaving the car).

@tardis I would say you don't need a diagnosis, and I speak as someone who has one.
It helped me in the work world, but no more than a note from my doctor did, and I could have just gotten the note from my doctor.
I get more help from my fellow autistics online than I ever did from my official diagnosis.
Neurodivergent peoplestic know neurodivergence & it's different for everyone. That's who I listen to now.
@tardis The real world is the one that actually exists, which is why I study the Tao.
The outside world is something they created for their own purposes. It's not the real one.
They do like to pretend. Way too much. I'm not falling for it.
Struggling with energy, per usual. I know the medical people are on it, but the time feels long when you're waiting for these things.
#humans make me sad.
#CURL is my lovely gem, a masterpiece they ever created, but what do I see on their documentation pages? This:
CURLcode res = ...
if(!res) {
...
That's how they check for success, meow.
On, no. Meow! Meow! Meow!
And this does not discourage humans to write such posts

where they say common failures are:
1. Skipping the documentation!
2. Failure to check return codes

Common mistakes when using libcurl
I've been traveling this road for a while. Here's my collection of 15 of the most common mistakes and issues people will run into when writing applications and services that use libcurl.daniel.haxx.se
@bagder pets have much limited mental resources, and they are wasted to translate !res to res == CURLE_OK
At a pet's glance the latter is shouting whereas !res means something is not in the way things should go, need to dig deeper and check what's wrong. With one-day memory retention capabilities it's much harder to memorize that simply means okay
#slowember is coming
I will travel three weeks this month making me (much) slower than usual this period.
This affects my ability to do a quick patch release for #curl, so we might ship one on December 11 instead: curl.se/mail/lib-2024-11/0019.…

in reply to Ben • • •Reminds me of the story of a father / daughter conversation:
Dad: "Today is Presidents Day, do you know what that is?”
Daughter: “Yes. If the President comes out and sees his own shadow, we'll have four more years of this bullshit.”
