Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who is primarily responsible for the present situation, used to be my local state senator.

I specifically kept my voter registration in Texas during my college years so that I could continue to cast my vote against him. There is nothing good to say about that evil man.

I like Texas, and I hope that at some point we figure out how to govern it in a sane way, because I unfortunately cannot recommend living there right now.

Twitter’s a bit of a bad example. Musk may be using it that way now in order to make the best of a bad situation, but it’s pretty clear that he didn’t actually intend to buy it in the first place.

Even someone like Musk doesn’t ever intend to go out and lose tens of billions of dollars on a single purchase.

I associate the word “straphanger” with tabloid media. They have some words that they really like. It doesn’t really even make sense for NYC Because the subway doesn’t have straps.

I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.

(the other is Land of the Lustrous)

But he lives in NYC (Staten Island). It’s his own local government.

I wonder if his study was simply underpowered, and there may be a real but small effect.

An underpowered study is one that doesn’t get statistically significant results for a real effect because there is not enough data collected to distinguish between a small effect and random chance.

Sometimes I wish that I didn’t have a corporeal body. It would be better to just be a mind.

I haven’t tried this, but if you just need the parent to call waitpid on the child’s pid then you should be able to do that by attaching to the process via gdb, breaking, and then manually invoking waitpid and continuing.

Inbox for me. I still manage my email the way that Inbox taught me to do it, but it just isn’t the same.

I hate the capslock thing. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who regularly uses capslock (for C macro names and SQL when programming, but also for typing acronyms).

I don’t mind the function key thing. Even from memory I can say that in a browser F5 = refresh and F11 = fullscreen. But kids probably are less likely to know those these days so a label could be helpful.

 

A detailed experiment investigating how long to steep immersion cold brew, with both numerical and qualitative results.

 

I know that it’s the middle of summer (northern hemisphere). I know that even the thought of adding fruit juice and mulling spices to coffee is probably horrifying. I do not expect it to taste good. And yet, I had a thought about it and found that it seems to be a thing and so… has anyone tried it?
