#PSA: if you have a small business that ships items, consider not using Uline: the owner uses the company's profits to fund right wing anti-democratic causes.
propublica.org/article/uline-u…
And, because you still need to ship your product, here's a good resource to replace them:
Uline is a purposely political company aligned with extreme right-wing ideology. Despite their politics, millions of small businesses and artists still use ULINE completely unaware of what their dollars are supporting. This needs to end now.refuseuline.com

"Disposable vapes are indefensible. Many, or maybe most, of them contain rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, but manufacturers prefer to sell new ones. More than 260 million vape batteries are estimated to enter the trash stream every year in the UK alone. Vapers and vape makers are simply leaving an e-waste epidemic to the planet's future residents to sort out."

Inspired by @kees and @bagder I graphed #ArkScript source code age (last 3.x version is from mid 2023 hence the big purple triangle starting in 2023)
There seems to be a lot of code, but tests are counted too.
16'540 lines for the source code only, and 12'430 for the tests (8k dedicated to the fuzzing corpus, 4k for the unit tests)
I attribute the big jump to my recent "add tests everywhere" addiction

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has put online 492,000 high-resolution images of artistic works.
Even better, the museum has placed the vast majority of these images into the public domain, meaning they can be downloaded directly from the museum’s website for non-commercial use.
When you browse the Met collection and find an image that you fancy, just look at the lower left-hand side of the image.
If you see an “OA” icon and the words “public domain”, you’re free to use the image, provided that you abide by the Met’s terms.
In making this collection available online, the Met joined other world-class museums in putting large troves of digital art online.
Witness the 88,000 images from the Getty in L.A.,
the 125,000 Dutch masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum,
the 50,000 artistic images from the National Gallery,
and the 1.9 million images from the British Museum.

RIP Quincy Jones.
Legendary music producer behind hits from Sinatra to Michael Jackson.
I know I'm alone in this, but I think "Billie Jean" was a more iconic and transformative Quincy Jones song than "Thriller." First time we saw the Michael Jackson moonwalk!

The real genius of “Thriller” is that it is 4 minutes of warnings about horrible scary monsters and then bang: fooled you, all that was a clever ruse to get you to hold me tight, kiss me, I will take care of you, protect you, love you, thrill you, this is a pop song, I am the King of Pop, what were you expecting?
But Billie Jean is a perfect song. And identifiable immediately after the first kick and snare of the intro.
There’s a dirty Trump trick you need to look out for. He used it in 2020 to try to overturn the election, and he’s going to do it again. But it doesn’t work if you know it’s coming.
Watch out for Trump to exploit something elections experts call the “red mirage” to prematurely declare victory before all the votes are counted.
You see, in almost every election, Republicans appear to take an early lead. That’s the red mirage.
Then that lead gets smaller throughout… instagram.com/p/DB9oGT9py7R/?u…

🚨🚨🚨 ARIZONA VOTERS — It’s been reported that thousands of early voters in Pima County returned only the first page of their two-page ballot. This is important because Prop 139 for Abortion Access is on page 2. Please don’t make the same mistake when you vote in person. Please share with AZ folks.

Saw the following on the comment thread where I learned about the 64 MB RAM requirement for OpenWrt (where I also commented):
> These days I mostly write code for systems with 256 KiB of RAM, so struggling with 64 MiB seems a bit excessive.
Just now, I wish I had chosen to work on that kind of embedded software. I guess I still could, at least as a side project. I know I'm doing important work where I'm at though, even if I have to tolerate the unconstrained excess of Electron and the like.
