The most important thing to understand about Toronto’s approach to traffic safety is that - first and foremost - the life of any citizen is less important than the paint on any car.

Anyway, both of these pictures are across the street from a hospital and a school.

Zohran Mamdani's victory over Andrew Cuomo is a historic turning point for Palestine in U.S. politics. It reflects a growing fatigue with Israel’s role in American life and the slow implosion of Zionism under the weight of its own excess.

Six months ago: get attacked in multiple executive orders that declare everything you work on in STEM education "illegal", funding pulled from your field

Now: get EDI award as you continue to do the work anyway, as you always have and always will

You absolute badass @analog_ashleyAshley Juavinett

if you're a unix-y person who writes software that reads and writes from places in a user's home directory, and you want to do something mac-adjacent, the correct idiom for paths in ~/Library/Application Support, ~/Library/Caches, etc is a reversed domain name. e.g. the way Pip does it, ~/Library/Caches/Pip, is wrong. The correct directory name would be ~/Library/Caches/io.pypa.pip

My parents are in the process of selling the house I grew up in, and I am slowly sorting through my stuff. I was such a stone nerd 🤓 when I was a kid — and, well, I still kinda am.

I've started a new series of articles on organization-wide technical operations for small companies using #AWS. The first article discusses why you probably want to use multiple Accounts within a single Organization, and how you can start planning that. https://blog.symphonia.io/posts/2025-06-25_moving_to_multi_account_aws_organization

Someone linked me a song on SoundCloud, I tried listening to it, it refused to let me listen. Is this surprising?

I have the code:

if (!(strncmp("grog://", param, 7) || strncmp("grogs://", param, 8))) {

}

I run this code with param = "grog://grag/301.png". I expect the conditional to trigger because I expect the first prefix check to pass. The conditional does NOT trigger, the else runs. What is my rotting meat brain missing?

EDIT: GOT MY ANSWER I DE MORGAN'NED WRONG

It is often asserted that HSL is easier to use, when picking colors. Turns out there is little evidence for that.

Once done, select the theme and link your Google account to begin using the AI inside the terminal."

Anyone else getting a bunch of calls from Texas? I've been getting at least one a day. Always from different numbers in the 806 area code. They never leave a message so I assume it's a scam but who knows...

One advantage traditional blogging has over Mastodon-style microblogging is that it can be easier to find your own posts on an actual blog, for the purpose of preserving your own knowledge / remembering your past. On a real blog you have more power to organize your posts for discoverability, and more ways to improve search.

Perhaps this boils down to it being easier to customize an independent blog.

1. Last night, Zohran Mamdani prevailed in the Democratic Primary for New York Mayor. He didn't run from trans people... He fought for them, pledging $65M to shore up care. He even spoke at rallies against hospitals like NY Langone capitulating to Trump. Subscribe to support our journalism.
