After watching it, I cannot understand why the new Superman movie is at all controversial.

I deleted all my social media apps to because I’m expending too much time & emotion scrolling. Now I’m just getting triggered by rage bait on LinkedIn.

Does anyone have tips on how to navigate the next four years with compassion and integrity without living every day with intense anger and stress?

Because it's come up recently, a reminder that the Y2K bug wasn't overhyped. It was a huge problem and an huge number of people worked fast and hard and fixed it. Like the ozone hole.
It's not a lesson in overhype. It's a lesson in humankind's ability to cooperatively solve problems.

Acid rain, too. One of the problems with writing about successes is that disasters tend to leave clear evidence of destruction in a short window of time. Recovery is long, halting and often incomplete, which makes narrative more challenging; there’s never a single night of widespread rebuilding.
“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told
DAMMIT NPR.
I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.
Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

Lately I've been asking myself two questions to help me be less reactive and more open to ideas and events that don't fit my mental model.
1. What will it mean if something I believe doesn't turn out to be true?
2. What does it mean if something I expected to happen doesn't end up happening?

Y’all, we have got to stop measuring tragedies in mortalities. Life-altering injuries and chronic pain are a huuuuge deal.

Man, Google could really mess things up for Bitcoin (and really any proof-of-work crypto) right now.
Google said its quantum computer needed less than five minutes to perform a mathematical calculation that one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers could not complete in 10 septillion years, a length of time that exceeds the age of the known universe. nyti.ms/3DaZFH5

One of my favorite bugs in recent memory had to do with a faulty Equatable conformance preventing SwiftUI views from invalidating correctly. This belongs in my "Top 10 Tricks That Will Come Back To Bite You Later" list and this episode does a great job of explaining why.
We’ve covered countless topics on Point-Free, but this year’s deep dive into Equatable/Hashable was a standout favorite of our viewers.
Master these protocols and learn why classes should (almost) never conform based on the data they hold. 😳

I remember seeing MastodonKit getting some traction as mastodon was starting to ramp in popularity. I always thought this was a really great idea because of how much easier it would be to build an app experience on top of it. Is there a Bluesky equivalent yet?

The Bluesky app has me rethinking my “React Native sucks for performance” argument. Scrolling is way smoother than most SwiftUI apps.
