    I’m remembering something kind of amusing. I used to be big on portable documents until I discovered the ultra hard way how cryptic everything was underneath the hood. They’re good enough, but have any of you ever heard of the cracked WWF format (not wrestling)?

    It was an encrypted portable document where the defining feature was to make printing technically impossible to save the world. Good thing it was .wwf and not .wwe. This might sound fantastical, but maybe it was really true.

    There’s truly nothing more liberating than deleting all of your work by mistake (or having it deleted). That’s why it never hurts to have multiple distribution (and backup) strategies. A newer way is invented every day:

    shell
    gcc -o delete-this-file.c

    I run across sites where I wonder if a time travelling comedy bit is happening. Check the dates on those cards.

    This article from the year 2057 was actually useful. I was messing around with Python the other day.

    I recently heard about the Ladybird Browser. Those of you who are slightly younger or older may not have realized this.

    But, the (secret) final step in making your browser boat float upright on the mainstream (after keeping up to spec speed) is crafting your very own anime. I wish I were joking, kind of (these are real):

    And, that’s how they got us in high school. Take and do note that Firefox and Safari are missing.

    Spoilers? In passing, I keep hearing about anime bans. I’ve been out the loop for years and glanced at some of what’s trending today.

    Cosmopolitan satire?

    There’s a certain “To Be Hero X”. Everyone’s on an app called . The top 10 heroes infight for the #1 title, X. The current X, at the snap of a finger can do anything (in many animated dimensions), but just wants normalcy.

    Heroes are ranked by trust scores, and their powers spun up by their fans. There’s one hero who has to smile, another standing firm, and one mister nice. Then, there’s that sole anti-hero on FOMO trying to expose everyone as frauds. The social satire in this, is as hilariously off the wall as its animation.

    Have any of you ever heard of Reader Rabbit (embed)? I’ve been going through some old physical media. It was a simpler time.

    Turns out (rather gleefully) that I was proven wrong. Spooky competition did its thing and now I have two fiber links. One is symmetrical.

    I think should compete more strategically with Starlink by looking into WISPs (fixed wireless + WiGig). Many of the out islands have limited to no banking. At home, everyone’s best friends with Starlink.

    I’ve been catching up. Speed-reading two years worth of tech media is like reading about a war at 10x the speed. You have four quotes in your quiver (this is a math problem now). At what angle(s) would you draw your title bow to inflict the greatest pangs of outrage?

    Quotes:

    Today, A.I. solutions are being deployed across companies to help tackle the kind of tasks most people find repetitive, which frees up employees to take on higher-value work.

    It is our job to create computing technology such that nobody has to program and that the programming language is human.

    I am of the opinion that AI can already do all of the jobs that we, as humans, do. It’s just a question of how we apply it and use it.

    But the more advanced models that are available now to companies, they can code better than, let’s call it 60%/70% of coders now … The best coders will be able to use these tools to augment what they already do.
