I checked on the bees today, hoping to pop a couple frames of honey in, but they were not having it, and my hive tool was just carving up the wet hives. They're both definitely still viable! If I get a good opportunity in a couple weeks I might do it then…

@33MHz @ungluedspring yeah he just had a second baby in July so now I am a double uncle. Silas and Eli we're going to see them again in October. My parents go to see them about every 2 months but I don't think we can do that unfortunately. How are you all doing…

Linux is scary

Back in 2001 when I had to call a support number because of an access problem, I had to pretend to be running windows to get assistance because Linux wasn't supported. It's 2021 and I still have to pretend to run Windows whenever I call a support number because the word "Linux" still gets the same kind of reaction. \U0001f644 …

@ryb 100 bees can kill a man. A single sting on the neck can kill a man. Not wearing a veil is foolish. But, if you already know the bees are docile, you can take liberties, and swarms are known to be pacive. Some beeks always wear jeans and long sleeves.…

"Of the 2,408 ShotSpotter events this past year, only 297 also received at least one call for service from someone in the community. McGuire called this figure “shocking.”" Yeah, if I hear stray gunfire, I don't report it. Nothing constructive to report.…

A small check-in on squeak development I cooked up a little prototype code based on libcurl and a C++ wrapper. I'm not sure how I feel about it but might still continue down that route at least for some legacy device support (such as BB10 if the mood strikes me). This last weekend though I took the time to dive back into learning Rust and so far I think it might have more potential, especially for more modern stuff. My next step is to cook up some new prototype code in Rust and see how it works out compared to C/C++ development wise. …

DISC-overy

@Kabuku /@Streakmachine I got into MD in the late 1990s because I found a pocket player/recorder that didn’t skip at all when used in a car driven over corrugations & potholes on gravel roads, unlike the portable CD player I previously used. A MD has 20% of the surface area of a CD, so to get one to sound as good as a CD means clever compression is needed/used.…

@variablepulserate Yes she does. That’s said just understanding won’t be of much help for her to adapt and pursue a meaningful career path here in Sri Lanka. We hope moving back here and start to live might help her to pick up the language if she makes an effort to do so…

a Detroit story

A Detroit Coney Island story: After mentioning to my aged parent that I would be working at a customer in Highland Park, he started telling me his memories of Victor Street. His father had a little manufacturing shop there not far from the massive Ford plant. Sometimes when my dad was there he’d go to Red Hots to pick up some coney dogs. Red Hots is still there, and appears to possibly be in business. Unfortunately I couldn’t drive past until after it would have been closed. The sign appears to say “1921.” Wow!…

Utopia Or Oblivion:The prospects for humanity

@33MHz s the author states,we need fresh ideas. I agree. Read Utopia or Oblivion:The choice is yours (2) l am well versed in system theory and probability,so nothing new in that section. He is using system knowledge ina pessimistic fashion. I am familiar with authors like him,Mr doom and gloom.lf you believe humanity is going towards oblivion,you are one of the problems,just giving excuses. In a Mad Max’s scenario,people like that are easy picking 😆👹 Bucky Fuller stated it best in the two memes, you see. More support from Einstein” The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” ― Albert Einstein So it is time to get rid of whiny wimps who say it can’t get done,cause I have zero sympathy for people like that. …
