@cassidoo.co query, given your example in your newsletter: let a = ['C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H']; let b = [3, 0, 4, 1, 2, 5]; I read that as item 3 (F if 0 based) should be first, but your sample result shows D first. Am i reading it wrong?

Nobody is trying to make the USA communist, but a lot of people are trying to make the USA fascist.
I may have been let down by "Disclosure Day", but "Landscape with Invisible Hand" was absolutely incredible, and a much more realistic view of the impact of an alien visitation. letterboxd.com/film/landsca...
Landscape with Invisible Hand (2023)
Years into a benevolent alien occupation, mankind is still adjusting to its new overlords. Their technology initially held promise for global prosperity, but rendered most human jobs – and steady inco...

I really wanted to like "Disclosure Day" and it had a unique view of the typical alien story but... it just didn't work for me. A bit of a letdown to be honest.

What I'll be watching tonight instead of listening to the never ending lies from the WH about "rigged" elections:
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
Geek Squad should have an option where you pay a bit more and they show up in an unmarked van. ;) (Yes, we hired them to hang a new TV because I don't do anything hardware and my anxiety would probably give me a heart attack. :)
Weirdest thing in being old in tech is seeing "new" products reusing "old" product names... antjs.org

"The Backrooms" movie was surprisingly good. They actually were able to make a good movie-length... um... movie... out of the concept. Now, if you don't already like the Backrooms, you're going to hate this movie, but as a fan, I *really* enjoyed it.
