I refreshed my Mashapedia project -- now on its own domain! It's a collection of links and descriptions of information security and privacy technologies mentioned in Cory Doctorow's book, Attack Surface. Check it out here: mashapedia.org

This is from the _book_ "Forrest Gump" by Winston Groom, which I finished recently. The book is written in 1986, and the events described in this scene are happening in the 1970s.

"angertainment" is a new word I learned from @kelseyhightower.com on the @fafo.fm podcast. It's a very precise word!

Stop saying that one programming language is better than another. It all depends what you want to do.

When you want to fight with a borrow checker, use Rust. When you want to guess which esoteric tsconfig some lib requires, try TypeScript. When you feel like yelling at a package manager, do Python.

It's a new feeling: Amazon just sent me a message "We found a great deal for you!" and suggested my own book about #Python! (The title is "A Pythonic Adventure", if you are curious.)

In a world where AI assists students with homework, universities make an unexpected policy change: AI usage becomes mandatory for all assignments. Students must submit their complete AI conversation logs alongside their work... What happened next? Read on AI Prose: aiprose.org/posts/runtim...

Note to self: check all your subscriptions just before Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Most likely, you bought something really cheap a year ago and now it's up for renewal at the full price. Ask me how I know ;-)

Grrr... I'm paying my city tax online, and here is what I see. What? For all the taxes I'm paying you, can't you hire a programmer to parse the string I'm entering??? Why should I _carefully_ insert a space after the first two digits???
