The day after tomorrow I am driving 12 hours across three states to get my dog the second shot of his immunotherapy treatment for hemangiosarcoma. It’s only available in trial (this is a yale study). Results for him are too early, but the s

Danco’s writing is really great.* I’m sad he’s going to work for the enshittification engine of the tech industry. *He writes with a different perspective, sometimes too reductive in his analogies and analysis, but I don’t need to agree wit

There’s a raging battle to decimate wolf populations in Montana. I’d encourage any and all to speak up. https://fwp.mt.gov/aboutfwp/public-comment-opportunities Click on the dropdown for “Fall 2025–Winter 2026 Furbeare

Will give this a trial, but just wanted to ask: does the svg export use SMIL or javascript or css? (If SMIL major props, I’ve been looking for a gui SMIL editor forever…)

The writing in the series is unfortunately terrible. It sinks the otherwise beautiful show with sterile and laborious narration/dialogue, telltale signs of over workshopped writing room slop, from which no real living plot ever emerges

Everyone looks back at their old code with cringe. But more importantly you look back at the things you did and know you gave it your best with what you knew at the time. If on the other hand you decide not to do the thing then you will for

I was just going to post this. Seems quite an obvious and significant distinction, that doesn’t need to provoke all the existential hand wringing. Making money off someone else’s content is a totally different moral and legal case.

That would be a wonderful outcome, if so. We need to protect our ecosystems from humans if they're to survive. However, it won't happen because of wolf attacks. The big bad wolf is a fairy tale... Moose are orders of magnitude mor

Thanks for all the constructive criticism on the pagination. It's an experiment I'm playing around with on my personal site (which is what they're for right?). Definitely sounds like I should have tested it on a few more devi
