Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

"integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer". What a great way to say this. 😍
Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.
I hear she has supported school bands as well: www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/10/d...

A blogpost I wrote on elm-test's Test.Distribution - testing whether your fuzzers generate interesting cases often enough!

…in which I’ll tell you how you can make sure your property based tests are testing the interesting cases.
