I don't keep up with MySQL development, but I have had many conversations over the years about why so many people defend MySQL as being a good "Open Source" project... and yet I'm glad someone is writing about it. 🍿

Apple、2025年世界スマホで首位奪還！14年ぶりSamsung超え - iPhone Mania

Hey. Do you have "The Criterion Channel"?

Cuz I'm looking at the films that are leaving at the end of January:

https://www.criterionchannel.com/leaving-january-31

And there is some *fire* stuff:

- Ran
- The King of Comedy
- In a Lonely Place

So that's:

- Kurosawa's best color film
- Scorsese explaining the last ten years
- Bogart doing a complex, harrowing portrayal of an abuser (I actually like this more than The Big Sleep!)

Also some Howard Hawks, some of it pre-Code. Not so familiar but he's supposed to be good…?

There are, to a broad approximation, two kinds of metaethical approaches to the world:

• I suffered, so no one else must suffer
• I suffered, so you must suffer

Guess which metaethical framework leads me to boost this?

with standard.site aggregators, the true purpose of atproto becomes clear it is not, as some believe, to build new twitter but instead to build new technorati

I have to give it to (most) modern gadgets (devices) - their lifespans are pretty good these days. Here's one example - my wife is still using my almost 10 years old iPad Pro (1st) gen quite actively every day and it works pretty well. (despite no longer receiving OS updates since 2023) My father uses my old iPhone XS and my old Apple Watch 3 (4?) and they serve him well overall.

Most laptops and phones can easily do 5+ years, battery degradation aside. And Kindles (and alternatives) can pull much longer.

Of course, that doesn't matter much, as our society encourages us to buy the latest and greatest gadgets each year…

My #ScottAdams Story

In the 1990s, I worked as an office temp. I logged a lot of hours in a lot of different offices, and I had an instant and accurate way to sense how dysfunctional and toxic a workplace was as soon as I walked in.

I took note of how many #Dilbert comics were pinned up, and where.

If I saw one or two #Dilbert comics scattered around, I knew people had their gripes and complaints about their co-workers, but it was nothing too serious.

Umm, but in this theory space is 4-dimensional: one dimension too many. Back to the drawing board. 😏

On a day when I need to write MSBuild, there's this process that always happens. The first ten or fifteen minutes, I'm having *fun*. I'm doing something deleriously goofy. I'm *programming in XML*! I'm managing the impossible. I'm playing a Zachtronics game. And then I get to the second ten or fifteen minutes and the third. And the second or third hour.

And what I am feeling is kind of. Less "fun" at that point. More "Ah the sorrow of a thousand years! How it presses down upon my soul"

A quote from the article:
"Christmas itself was known for feasting and drunkenness – and it lasted nearly six weeks."

Medieval peasants probably enjoyed their holiday festivities more than you do

https://theconversation.com/medieval-peasants-probably-enjoyed-their-holiday-festivities-more-than-you-do-241328

> The Middle Ages weren’t as dreary and desperate as you’d think, and peasants often had weeks of idle time during the holidays. On Christmas Day, the party was just getting started.
