Related to those last two items, when was the last time some actor, writer, or director said “ya know, this next season is fine. It’s maybe not as crazy, shocking, emotional, or funny as the last three, but it’s pretty good I guess.”

The Jedi are not a monolith

Charlie, the daschund, likes to tell the other neighborhood dogs he’s in the back yard pooping. Bruce, the Aussie sheepdog, likes to tell Wiley he’s out in the yard pooping. Wiley, the shepherd, Rottweiler, black lab, daschund-mix,  likes to congratulate Charlie and Bruce for pooping and reminds them to make sure the…

Yup. I’ve had guys in my department use code spit out by ChatGPT without any hesitation and the results were disastrous. I’ve tried using it a handful of times and honestly, by the time I’ve reviewed the output and rewritten portions (either to fix it/performance/readability) I could have just written it all from…

Open source maintainers tend to get paid, but these projects are just their sidegigs/labors of love. The reality is, the industry needs to recognize that certain individuals are maintainers and give them time and resources to do that maintaining. Then everything needs to be cryptographically signed by known…

Somehow Dept. of Treasury is getting lost with The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

I’m guessing, but maybe because then they would have to dry it or else it would mold and rot faster. Spraying big lots of produce with water might be easy, but drying it would require laying it out in a thin layer for a while or having equipment (lots of fans) to blow air over it for a while and would take a lot…

a review of real-world usage of those services away from the big 2.5 would be a nice article topic!

While I was watching it I kept thinking Cap looked like Wyatt Russell’s John Walker.

The facial mocap is fantastic but that looks more like US Agent than Cap. 

That’s not really the point though. Its that they promise something, then abandoned it. And then they promised something else, and are probably going to abandon it too.

Eh... why go to a theater and spend $20 when I can wait 8 months and watch it happening live on TV and my front window?

Deprecate is a *very common* word software companies use to refer to features being removed. 

Why is Facebook saying they’ll “deprecate” the news, a word that seems like an odd choice? Your guess is as good as ours. Typically, most Americans probably understand the word deprecate as expressing disapproval. Other common definitions include “disparage or belittle.”

As a Lego-Person, I see nothing wrong with this.

They never had any kind of plastic in the bread dough. That was a very creative interpretation of a dough conditioner used in the bread to enhance the leavening process, because the same chemical also gets used to create non-edible foams like yoga mats — if you get it hot, it decomposes into gasses, making nice little…
