I’m still alive.

1/ Professor Jiang is a Yale-educated high school teacher whose Predictive History channel on YouTube has gained 2.3 million followers. He's called the Chinese Nostradamus for calling the Iran war. I was cleaning up BLP issues on his Wikipedia page and I learned something very sad.

selling calls has got it going on cause Japan won't let stocks rise for long Nikkei can't you see you're just not the stock for me I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with selling calls

PSA: Don't get your financial data from Google. It's scandalous that they have a 20x underreporting error on a company that's under review by MSCI and NASDAQ for index inclusion. Search and Finance numbers aren't even internally consistent.

Cloudflare believes blocking AI crawlers is more important than DNS, SSL, E-Mail, Logs, etc. Why else would it be the first thing in their navigation? This feature isn't exactly brand new.

Why do mobile apps show me notifications about things I've done? Gee thanks Tesla, I didn't know I was just supercharging my car. Gee thanks Gemini, I had no idea the research report I just read on my desktop had been completed. The list goes on.

Living in Chernobyl poses less risk to your health than eating out of plastic bags and containers. Prove me wrong.

I gave two talks at @qt-project.org Contributors Summit 2025 in Munich 🥨 One about @justine.lol 's Cosmopolitan LibC wiki.qt.io/QtCS25_-_Com... and one about Qt Creator Extensions wiki.qt.io/QtCS25_-_Qt_... I think it went well 😅

I loved Star Wars as a kid. I memorized it, talked about it, and waited eight long years for the prequels. They didn't end up being the films I wanted. I thought what is all this scheming? Where's my clear story of good vs. evil? But looking back I think they were the films we needed.

So Let's Encrypt is now having certificates expire in six days. That must mean it's feasible to crack a key in less than three months, right? Is anyone familiar with the state of the art?

The worst thing about modern video codecs is they make everything look AI generated. Even watching a 1080p video on YouTube my brain is telling me it's fake but I know it's not.

Be careful what you eat the next time you're in Europe. The EU recently authorized larvae as a filler additive in pasta, breads, cheese, etc. They're required to put larvae on ingredient lists, but restaurants could use it without telling you. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...

Basically you have to think of BSB vs. NSYNC the same as Nintendo vs. Sega. All the good kids played Super Nintendo and listened to Backstreet Boys.

If your GitHub project has more commits than stars, it might be time to reconsider where you're focusing your energy!
