If I sell my house, there's a reasonable expected range of money I can expect for it.

x3n0ph3n3··on Homebrew 7.0.0
If you're going to update that frequently, you may want to consider something that allows for cooldown like this [1]. I've gotten more nervous about supply-chain attacks over the last few months.

x3n0ph3n3··on Expert Witness to ChatGPT: "Show how 3M is 0 percent at fault"
My father was an expert witness in construction defect and he told me about some of the times he was hired to produce a report about the causes of some defect or failure and that sometimes the entity that hired him was at fault. He usually wasn't retained for trial in those cases, but it earned him a reputation for honesty.

Seeing these pay-for-opinion "experts" fills me with a deep disgust.

Facetime calls with family. I've had to do a lot of travelling, and it's been amazing being able to see, talk to, and sing with my kid while I'm gone. He's also really close to his extended family and loves seeing them on video calls.

I, also with an internationally unique name, am a Canadian entrepreneur and a professional rugby player.
x3n0ph3n3··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
I much prefer Cursor to Claude Code. Claude Code hides too much of what it's doing from me (can't monitor the thinking output, can't see output from in-progress commands being run.
