So, thanks to the folks that fucked with my flights today/tomorrow, my obsidian-plugin calendar project now supports event categories applying stylings to events such as "opacity" and "strikethrough" 🫠
Sliver linings in everything, right?
Dear @Ruter, you should maybe... Not let your app purchase two identical tickets in a row within less than sixty seconds of each other. Just a thought.

California's solar duck curve has gotten deeper every year. Now, there's pretty much zero demand for electricity from the grid during the middle of the day.
"So it feels to me that the US is treating its deficiencies — [...] — as mysteries to be endured rather than problems to be solved."

One of the major reasons I no longer live in the States is that I burned out of having conversations about civic issues which were deadends because people treated things as mysteries -- or worse, as histories: describable, but unchangeable -- instead of situations we can change.
When a software company gets a culture of explaining why things _are_ to the total exclusion how talking about how they _could be_, I leave. It's a hard rule for me. You can't do much when that's the prevailing culture.

Merge vs. Rebase vs. Squash. Anyone who says "100% of the time you <merge/rebase/squash>" is wrong and I'm strong in that opinion. I'm asked about this pretty regularly, so I decided to take my copy paste answer I always use and put it in a gist. 🍿 gist.github.com/mitchellh/31…
The ONLY thing I log into twitter for anymore is a few precious DMs, and... To see that my notifications are spam and bots (pictured).

We cannot rule out the possibility that radio communication will alert hostile alien superintelligences to our whereabouts, triggering an invasion posing an existential risk to humanity. Therefore we must carefully regulate radio technology until we have better planetary defenses
