I'm reading a NASA paper (written in Typewriter) that gives the air density in slugs per cubic foot. Fuck if I know what this is. Is there a standard slug? The red one we have in the garden? How many of those fit in a cubic foot? Does it work with snails, too?

A President should not be publicly speculating about an accident while the recovery effort is still underway and the investigation has barely begun, when there has been no comment from the NTSB. Expressing grief for the loss and support for the investigation should be the entirety of the comments.
We are watching in realtime the systematic unraveling of decades aviation safety accident investigative precedent and process from the President of the United States.

Ever since updating to ios18, I have been frustrated that Mail is seemingly unable to fetch mail in my home network, as if it keeps running into timeouts. I was delighted to read I am not alone, and @abdelkader.boui.de has figured out the solution! vowe.net/2025/01/27/a...
Apple Private Relay causing mail delivery issues
A few months ago, a customer reached out to me and reported that their users running iOS 18 on their iPhones and iPads were seeing an issue where they would not get push notifications for new mails.

There is no possible way the Airpods "conversation awareness" feature was ever tested by an engineer. It's an "AI" feature of iOS 18 that turns down your music when it detects someone talking to you.
That means, when you stare at the debugger and say "WTF?" to yourself, your music stops.

Peak C++: constexpr friend auto operator<=>(const BaroAltitude& lhs, const BaroAltitude& rhs) noexcept { return lhs.pressureAltitude()<=>rhs.pressureAltitude(); } I know the reason for why every single keyword has to be there and I begin to hate myself for it.

My son, listening to Holst's Planets for the first time:
-Papa, what was that song about?
-The planet Mars
-Did it explode?
-You got the basic idea right.
