One possible attribution for Murphy's Law is that the team Edward Murphy was working with was annoyed when they were blamed on failed tests where HE should have inspected the setup before the test. They named the law for his arrogance.
So that's beautiful because the law is working on itself.

I heard a child say: “I am a Chaos magician. I can summon Chaos whenever and wherever I choose.”

I believe them.

I fail at scheduling calls one time zone away. The horror it must be to schedule across the date line.

TIL: only in 3.13 did Python get a `deprecated` decorator.

Sadly, I learned this in a 3.12 project.

@hwmrocker Gute Frage! Ich schreibe mal ein paar Empfehlungen zusammen.

It may feel weird that two is the only even prime number. But it's actually not more weird than saying: three is the only prime number divisible by three.

There is a huge opportunity for companies to displace competitors by making software without AI bullshit. The big companies have committed to their stupid AI-first strategy and they can't back out any more.

Want to take on Github? Now is the time!

Microsoft: "we gonna screenshot every 3 seconds and feed it to Windows 11's AI assistant."

Signal: "This dangerous. Please put option to disable"

Microsoft: "No! Everything will be fed to the AI, except DRM protected content of course."

Microsoft: .....

Microsoft: ".. Don't you dare-"

Interesting to finally see a 1:1 comparison to get an idea of how much better Linux is performing than Windows on the same hardware, and for cheaper.

Watching Microsoft’s robots telling Microsoft’s other robots that they need to agree to Microsoft CLAs in between Microsoft’s developers begging Microsoft’s robots to actually understand the problems they’re trying to fix in Microsoft's platform code on Microsoft's version-control website is kind of amazing.

This is definitely the future Terry Gilliam promised us.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Great day for fans of stuck boats, as a Cypriot cargo ship has parked itself in somebody's garden in Norway - AND THERE'S LIVE FOOTAGE!

It's actually really relaxing to watch unless, presumably, you're one of the crew...

Edit: boo! They've turned the camera off now it's dark and the page is down. I'll see if there's a YouTube version tomorrow or something.
