We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Avery Patterson on her first USWNT goal:
"I completely blacked out. The only think I remember thinking is 'Oh shoot, did I celebrate too early?' because the keeper got a hand to it. I will never forget that even though I don't remember a lot of it."

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

I adore when ancient streets and structures are fossilized into a cityscape. I also adore when they are completely forgotten. Both tell a tantalizing story about memory vs loss.
The Roman amphitheater at Florence. Gone, but not gone.

Got a kind of urgent aid request. My catalytic converter blew. I'm JUST out of warranty. I've scraped together about half of what I need. But I need to cover about an additional $3,000. I can't really wait long.
Help spread? I'll drop links in the followup.

I've got this habit of zeroing drives before using them, I figure it's like a "drive wash" that makes sure all the sectors are usable and often I'll do a /dev/{u}random write instead and do a shasum at the end to verify read and write. Neurotic but it didn't become an issue until I got a 6TB drive.

Did you follow me? OK, cool, so I should say something more than once every 9mo or so. Well, I've been playing around with networking and automatic identification tech. Made some cool stuff recently, should post it or something.

Updated my handle. Got tired of the old one, I thought threata.gent was funny but apparently not as much as I thought. So here we are with a completely unpronounceable place for me to hang my hat.
So yeah... Best wishes to everyone.

There's a famous "swegl" in Beowulf, "Ðæt ic sceáwige swegle searogimmas," - "I saw brilliant/shimmering cunning gems." And it shows up in things like "sweglcandel" - "brilliant candle" ie, the sun.
Medical texts always have "swegls," with -s. Looks related & may be. But may not. It's a mystery!

I love Old English survivors, but I love even more the lost words.
In medical texts a ton of herbal recipes call for a "swegles apple." No one knows what that is. "Apple" was a generic term for roundish foods, but also "the apple of the eye." "Swegle" means nothing now.
A genuinely lost word.

Starting to get into the fun stuff with the Audiobook of Applied Linux now that my vocals sound right. I've re-recorded everything and added Episode 11, Getting started. Where the axe is thrown down, can you find and verify Linux ISO's or IMG's?
