If you live in northern Arizona, you can go to this and have my eternal envy. This Saturday, FIVE young California Condors are being released into the wild at Vermillion Cliffs national monument, and the public can come see them fly! (It's also going to be livestreamed, which is how I will watch!)

Everyone’s going to be grateful for my explanation of satellite imagery data pathways if I make it look like a category theory diagram without actually using the notation correctly!
Decades from now, some relative of mine is going to be going over the old notebooks I willed to them, flip one open to the page where I doodled “Turgeneverending Story Musgrave of the Fireflies” and put them all in the nonrecyclable trash.

local newspaper has some CSS to make the text really small if you're not logged in and/or you've hit your article limit. but it doesn't cover <a> tags apparently, so articles with links make interesting erasure poetry
@tmcw Or more personally, things I use (and recommend) today that I didn’t 3 years ago: Obsidian, uv, tailscale, LSP, duckdb.
@tmcw C losing its social license for new low-level projects is probably by far the best and most consequential. Oceans of pain and waste saved, even at the cost of flamewars.
All ML applications aside, decent HLL GPU tooling is incredible. Doing with a couple lines of crisp python what used to take a page of CUDA is a big, big deal in all kinds of simulation, graphics, etc. (Admittedly you could date this as far back as maybe 7 years ago, so.)
Mastodon and Bluesky, warts and all.

Do you approve of the state of the software industry?
Eager to try this. Good example of an open software project building consensus, doing the funding work, and properly fixing a UX trouble spot.
