I could not post about #MLK Day today.
We so completely failed to manifest his legacy & to honor his terrible sacrifice.
Given the state of the nation, posting a quote with his picture or some trite nonsense was just too utterly blasphemous.
Unless my Wikipedia search is wrong, does anyone know about the fact that MySpace is apparently still around?
One of the most believable parts of the bible is that Jesus' gang had brothers and duplicate names among them, like the neighborhood kids that all grew up together. If every one had a unique name you'd know it was complete fiction, but this detail really has some truth to it.
My proudest parenting moment was when my 11yo daughter asked me to teach her how to write software so she could strip the adverts from the podcasts she downloaded. That's when you know you have a good kid.
"bash: yotune: command not found"
In case anyone was wondering, when you type "yotune" on a terminal, unless you map an alias, you will not get uptime.
Yotune is also not a really bad iTunes rip-off.
This PSA brought to you by me, sucking at typing.
I mean, at least when I type something wrong, it's really, really wrong..., like "gesrib" instead of "bridges" a couple of weeks ago.

The United States is a global superpower,
and its military trains for war in every domain.
During my years as a military educator, I saw American officers wrestle with any number of scenarios designed to challenge their thinking and force them to adapt to surprises.
One case we never considered, however, was how to betray and attack our own allies.
We did not ask what to do if the president becomes a threatening megalomaniac who tells one of our oldest friends, Norway,
that because the Nobel Committee in Oslo refuses to give him a trophy,
he no longer feels
“an obligation to think purely of Peace”
and can instead turn his mind toward planning to wage war against NATO.
As my colleague Anne Applebaum wrote today, Donald Trump’s threatening message to the Norwegian prime minister should, in any responsible democracy,
force the rest of the U.S. political system to act to control him.
The president is talking about an invasion that would require
“citizens of a treaty ally,” as she put it,
“to become American against their will,”
all because he
“now genuinely lives in a different reality.”
And yet neither Congress nor the sycophants in the White House seem willing to stop him.

"We should stop using open source software written using 'AI'", I say
"That's impossible," people tell me. "There's no way you'll be able to tell the code was written using AI"
