rhymeswithjazz··on Norway makes shithouses great again
And I was taught to put it in a public trash receptacle. There is a middle ground here between tossing it on the ground and lugging it with you for hours.
rhymeswithjazz··on A walk through of the DeltaNet family of linear attention variants
I was reading their comment and was just about to suggest the same thing.
rhymeswithjazz··on John C. Dvorak has died
I clicked on this link with my 'experimental pointing device called a mouse'. Rest in peace from all the ships at sea.
rhymeswithjazz··on Shwe Kokko is accused of being a city built on scams
I can't remember if it was specifically about Shwe Kokko but Search Engine did an episode about a city with compounds like these.

rhymeswithjazz··on Tesla Cybertruck No Match for Car Wash
Appropriate dystopia for a dystopian vehicle.
rhymeswithjazz··on Every time you click this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website
There are three links at the bottom of that page that all still work. I'm a little surprised that link rot hasn't caught up to them.
rhymeswithjazz··on Poll: Do you get along with your parents?
My mom is basically an invalid at 65. She has supranuclear palsy. There’s just nothing there to get along with. It’s sad. My dad, I get along with okay, unless we talk politics. He thinks he knows everything from exclusively watching one news source. I’ve tried to get him to broaden his horizons, but he’s not interested. I wish he and I could talk about politics but it’s just not good for either of us.
rhymeswithjazz··on Why are so many young Americans adopting fake British accents?
Yeah, just finished it. It's a funny thing. My kids haven't watched a ton of Peppa Pig, but they all have managed to pickup what I'd call 'different' pronunciations and vocabulary than a lot of their peers.
rhymeswithjazz··on Why are so many young Americans adopting fake British accents?
I thought this was going to be another article about kids watching Peppa Pig. My three year old has a sort of mixed vocabulary, but mostly from watching Matilda, the Musical on repeat.
rhymeswithjazz··on The networkQuality tool on macOS
It's okay to be wrong.
rhymeswithjazz··on The Epic Stack
I thought I'd run through this just because I like Remix. It confirmed my prejudices against Fly. I've never gotten an app to deploy on Fly on the first try. There's always some error that I've got to debug and fix. I can't imagine recommending Fly as easy. Contrast to Vercel where everything just seems to work on the first try.
rhymeswithjazz··on Incident with Issues and Pull Requests
Another day, another outage. I'm getting 500 for any repo.
rhymeswithjazz··on Honestly, It's Probably the Phones
I did a two week experiment where I carried a small notebook and a phone with almost every app disabled. Whenever I would find myself wanting the answer to some question and couldn't just look it I would write it down in my notebook and then look the answers up later, if at all. It was sort of fun, maybe I should revisit it.
rhymeswithjazz··on Vimium – A browser extension that provides Vim-style keyboard controls
I've been using Vimium for years and while I don't use every feature that it has I feel completely lost on a machine that doesn't have it installed. Just the ability to scroll pages without having to take my hands off the keyboard is worth it for me.
