Oklahoma is attacking hunting & fishing treaty rights, but tribes are fighting back. 3 tribes (including mine) filed a federal lawsuit arguing OK has crossed a line and is violating not only our treaty rights, but also the law.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The best thing about having a cat is when he’ll walk in the room carrying a slice of ham but you don’t have any ham in the house. Where’d you get the ham little guy?

It’s just so much money and sacrifice to go to college to let AI write your work and to learn nothing. Absolutely nothing. Idk.

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

The fully open study guide assignment format is a lot of extra work for me to grade but it's honestly worth it because I get students making stuff like tarot decks, D&D campaigns, bespoke Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and carefully repurposed and photoshopped manga.

There are simply no experienced people around to help, and if there are, their input is often denigrated as "outdated". It's the blind leading the blind.
This systematic removal of experience from the workplace is not cost-effective, but here we are.

Programmers are also largely self-taught—a combination of the failure of our educational system (which favors PhDs over industry experience when hiring) and the ageism that infuses the profession.

Blacksmiths are often self-taught and often work alone—there are very few blacksmithing apprenticeships. There are no meetups (we used to call those "guilds").

How many programmers spend time reading code to learn from it? I often see something that makes me think, "We tried that about 10 years ago—didn't work out very well." (Server-side JavaScript comes to mind immediately 😄.)
Interestingly, there are other similarities.

They think they're great with no objective evaluation of that opinion.
I see the same thing going on all the time in software construction—the same tired mistakes made over and over again by arrogant practitioners who can't be bothered to read up on their craft.

Every season, they make Canister Damascus (Google it) with white out—something that elicits audible groans from the judges literally every time, and pretty much always leads to disaster. Arrogance is a big part of it, of course. Many of the losers puff themselves up in their intro bios.

I'll admit that I occasionally watch Forged in Fire (a reality show where people make edged weapons under time pressure—don't judge 😄). One of the things I find particularly interesting is how the contestants continually make the same mistakes that brought down contestants in previous shows.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.
