I have discovered that teaching programming goes much better with my fifth grade students if I take the time to teach them about all the symbols I think of as "normal" that are totally new to them.

"These are square brackets, you'll find them over the 'enter' key we use them for lists. In programming we have three kinds of brackets..."

This reduced confusion so much. And I feel a little silly for not realizing that OF COURSE they don't know what they characters are or how to type them.

Today, I once again wake up worrying about 's future.

Why is a shitbag such as still allowed to single-handedly maintain fundamental libraries for the ecosystem? Why is he part of Library API team? How is he not permabanned for single-handedly permanently damaging Rust by killing off comptime reflection over his racism? How is he not permabanned for the power play he attempted to pull with his "RFC" after pushing pre-compiled binary to serde without notice? Why are MIC companies routinely tolerated at Rust conventions? Why does no one talk about it, despite the problems not being solved? Has takeover taught people nothing? Will Rust survive another year without turning into ?

So many questions. I think about them every time I use Rust, which is often.

Apropos of nothing.

Spoke to a former colleague recently. Their employer monitors employee AI use and wants to see number go up.

Since the obligatory AI nannying, multiple product teams have fallen apart and they’ve stopped delivering new features of value while users are leaving.

A whole layer of middle management are destroying good products to make a Potemkin village of fake automation to justify their bosses buying crap enterprise software. It’s as if the entire industry had their heads kicked in by a donkey.

1) 툿을 언제 올릴지 선택하고 (10분, 1시간, 24시간후)
2) 시간이 지나면 툿을 올릴지 팝업+ llm이 위험도 분석

태엽이라는 말이 시간*과 관련되어있기도하고, 이전부터
자꾸 민감한 툿을 올리게 되서 만들어봤습니다. 배포..할..지는 모르겠습니다. 파이썬+바이브코딩+로컬llm입니다.

Media Diet

🎵 Florence + The Machine, Everybody Scream — I have no prior Florence experience but really like this album. The whole "start slow and build a song to a wild ass peak" thing works for me. "You Can Have It All" is a favorite. A little called out by “It must be nice to be a man and make boring music just because you can”

Last night someone asked "If Hollywood is so fucking 'woke', why do we NEVER see this plot" with regard to abortion.

Hollywood operates under the same white Christian patriarchal norms shaping most other US industries; they're financed by the same venture capital and investment banks.

You only have to note how the percentage of women directors and the percentage of spoken lines by women have remained stubbornly south of 50% to understand why abortion hasn't been normalized in US cinema.

To every artist out there that does stickers: I love you.

I know it can be a pain to find a good vendor and keep track of inventory and whatnot - but it makes your art very accessible for folks who might not be able to afford prints or commissions, and I really appreciate that.

I also just love stickers, but I really love accessible art.
