zulux··on California Gov Newsom commutes death sentences for all 548 people on death row
I can fix that!
zulux··on California Gov Newsom commutes death sentences for all 548 people on death row
I suspect that about 100,000,000 Americans could fix that problem.
zulux··on Revolut moves to self-hosted GLM
I do know it's year 1 of n of me being crazy productive. I was already a good developer. Turns out I'm a damn good business analyst/bot farmer/and developer.
zulux··on ‘You Are Done’: The letter sent to King by the F.B.I (2014)
Well, that, and the rapeing and the murdering. And sticking their women in sacks isn't a good look for the theocracy.
zulux··on Prisoner loses challenge to an Australian state’s ban on inmates eating Vegemite
As a religious person, I find this ruling troubling.

We bend over backward for religious dietary restrictions.

Why not sincerely held secular dietary restrictions and convictions? I also suspect the ruling would have been deliberated more if this wasn't an Australian inmate requesting Australian foods.

zulux··on FreeDNS
This is awesome. I'll use them as a backup DNS service; the paid version is significantly cheaper than spinning up a new domain server with the cheapest provider I know.

Not to downplay my own skills, but their OpenBSD infrastructure is a good idea. They'll be up when my DNS servers are down.

zulux··on eMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
" My new passphrase is "eMahidra4444". Now I have four-factor authentication.
zulux··on 8 in 10 Americans oppose live-streaming execution
If we do this, Abortion proponenets are going to have a lot of watching to do.
zulux··on The plight of the public potty
That's because Switzerland is full of Swiss people. Their culture values not being savage.
zulux··on The plight of the public potty
Uh. See a doctor?

I have every type of turd. A sampling of soft, skittles, lumps, explosive, and everything in between. All have been water-soluble.

zulux··on Tesla Roadster
I take my road car to racing events (SCCA) and get above 112 routinely.

I think Nissan had a workaround I could live with: GPS fencing around known tracks would activate/deactivate the speed governor.

zulux··on X purges 13,000 accounts linked to suspected meddling ahead of US midterms
I refuse to use "cis". I'm not a subtype.
zulux··on Why is every rationalist blog post way too long?
I suspect we'll find that some smokers (in addition to being addicted) were self-medicating.
zulux··on House with 15m underground tunnels for sale for 300k
My hunch: Sound-deadening baffles.
zulux··on Gleam doesn't compile to Erlang source anymore
Don't worry about it.

The lack or excess of commas doesn't upset any reasonable person in the slightest.

zulux··on Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use
Wise.

Continuing a conversation is often just a slow-drip Streisand effect.

zulux··on Don't Be Nice
Poe's law man... :)
zulux··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
Yes.

I do it locally to nudge political discourse. Doesn't take much to sway a lot of people.

I'm glad I agree with what I'm doing because its effectiveness is terrifying.

zulux··on Japan moves to tighten rules for foreigners
It's their country. They can do what they want as long as they don't start another war.
zulux··on LLM Ass Bench
I go to church every week. I try not to swear.

The site is fine, and it's funny to my inner 13-year-old boy.

zulux··on Robin Williams' Daughter to Fans Creating AI Videos: 'Have Some Shame'
I'm Lutheran, and we take a very dim view of suicide.

However, RW was going through hell on earth with his diagnoses and the progression of this disease. Many of us don't view what he did as a willful destruction of the life that God gave him.

zulux··on Don't Be Nice
Someone who built Britain before the jet age.
zulux··on Learning another language may be one of the best ways to keep your brain healthy
I had a massive stroke. I should be in a wheelchair. I'm mostly fine now.

It's postulated that my multilingual abilities helped, among other things.

zulux··on Roman Timekeeping
The Hours-Varry-By-Season is also reflected in older Japanese timekeeping: futeijihō
zulux··on Better Icon and Label Alignment
If they were just objects, indeed it would look better from a visual standpoint.

I think it would drive most of your fellow humans nuts. My hunch is that people read the bullets as sentence markers, not just a visual flourish.

zulux··on The President's Power to Pardon Friends and Allies Must End
I'd settle for not having them signed by an autopen in bulk.
zulux··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
One problem that poorer American people have is too much food, leading to obesity.
zulux··on Splash-free urinals: Design through physics and differential equations
Another 'gift' of the ADA, making it miserable:

Incorrect urinal height: The urinal rim exceeds the 17-inch maximum height, making it inaccessible for wheelchair users.

zulux··on JetKVM Mini
Cheap 4K HDMI/VGA-to-USB input boards and reverse HID cables are available. Betwen the two for $50 - they turn your laptop into a Moniitor, Keyboard and Mouse for a random computer.
zulux··on Don't be the out of touch Kung Fu master
The nice thing about religious faith is that most minds can hold only one at a time. I may believe in an oddly resurrected deity who took the shape of a man, but I don't have room for anything crazier.

"We are fools for Christ's sake." 1 Corinthians 4:10
