Vampire was an instant earworm for me when it came out, because I’m a sucker for the Creep chord progression. That, and her energy in the song.

So it makes the occasional appearance in my otherwise mostly metal-dominated song rotation.

Ironically(?) her cover of Creep a while ago was the first time I heard her voice. It did make me go, “Huh. Not bad at all.”

(inside)

Well thanks for putting that hilarious image in my head of what (outside) looks like!

Eh, I don’t know. Ours had no trouble talking in full sentences by 2 without it. I’m interested to see some data.

Also our indicator of “pay attention to this” was, well, giving them some attention. Eye contact, touch, etc.

But yeah, sample size of one. Maybe you’re right. I don’t know. Kids are weird. ¯\⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Huh interesting. We had a chat with our midwife and she offhandedly said it would be easier on parents to skip the baby talk/voice, and just speak in your normal calm voice so the baby gets used to the “real” you.

I guess your story perfectly illustrates her point.

I enjoyed drag as well

Took me way too long trying to figure out how that has anything to do with the topic at hand.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Drag. I wonder if Drag is okay.

The more you move through the networking stack, the more you start seeing OB1 error potentials.

Many protocols have packet ids starting from (and wrapping back to) 1. Modbus registers start from 1, but stored in memory offset 0.

Packet lengths can either include or exclude the length itself. E.g. packet length 200 in a protocol could either mean the length is followed by 200 bytes of data; or 1 byte containing the length + 199 data; or even 4 bytes length + 196 data (off by four!)

It’s a wild world out there.

Looks more like a panTerabyte

Containers plus Sidebery is how I managed to convince some people to move to Firefox. Cookie isolation across tab groups is the best thing ever.

It has to if you want federated servers. You spin up a server, it needs to know everything it subscribes to.

There is no solution, because it is not a problem. That’s just the nature of a federated system.

If I walk in the park, I risk people taking pictures of me. That’s the thing about parks, they’re public open spaces. The only solution is to stay home.

Does that not make them a hard link (pointing to a filesystem node) instead of a symlink (pointing to another filename)?

I don’t know about this specific one, but in my encounter with its Asian cousin, both “crazy itchy” and “a few days” slightly undersold the experience.

I sat on one while wearing shorts. My thigh was burning for a few days, and the pain stayed for longer than a month.

I mentally double check

So you’re saying you… mentally challenged yourself?

As “we” write more software slop

It’s that the one better or worse than the Explorer One S?

I still don’t understand the “whiskers”. What dataset are they using to train? I’ve literally not seen them until the prevalence of genAI.

Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto

It also can’t read labels on gmaps. Can’t read people’s “nickname” field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can’t access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).

Those are the three things I use AA for, and it’s objectively worse at every single one of them.

Also, guess which middle eastern country regularly sends their officers to train the Singaporean military? Hint: it’s not Palestine

elements of the natural world in a symbolic manner

What about elements of HTML? It also has symbols.

The current legacy code I’m dealing with is full of these:
