Good morning to this goof, who destroyed the tv remote yesterday and had to be hauled off to the vet for x-rays because we couldn't find the batteries. They are not inside him. We still can't find the batteries.

🔥 Top post ad brunch with my graduating college senior and the conversation turned to AI. She is mostly against it, would never use it for writing, and is ambivalent about using it for code. She is mostly annoyed that correct use of the em dash is apparently a “flag” of AI use. It was a re… ★ 15

User-Agent fun: a colleague has been fighting a bot claiming to be googlebot, but issuing a nutty request volume. So keep an eye out for that, kids. He’s had to temporarily block it entirely until he can figure out the misbehaving IP range. ★ 6 Was able to go for a run for the first time since surgery this morning, so that was good. A gentle two miles. Don’t know if I’ll be able to sustain it through the next few weeks of treatment, but a good sign overall. ★ 2 Things are better now, though we don’t yet have a handle on exactly what was causing the problem. I really resent that it takes so much work just to keep a free resource online. It doesn’t have to be this way. ★ 8 Papyri.info is suffering from bot attacks this weekend and will likely be unavailable until we can put more blocking in place. Apologies for the inconvenience but this is the world we live in now. ★ 10 Started off the day with a 5 mile run, MUFC won convincingly last night, had a 3.5 hour (very constructive) meeting, and waiting to find out whether I or my colleagues will get asked to quit our jobs next week. Just full-spectrum feels ove… ★ 3 Duke is trying to reduce its exposure to a now-unreliable federal government. Expect more of this in the coming months https://www.wral.com/news/education/duke-university-job-cuts-reduce-spending-april-2025/ Ok, so this is cool: https://blog.startifact.com/posts/xee/. Might be the thing that gets me to learn Rust. Everything there is to be mad and dismayed about aside, sometimes this modern world is miraculous. My wife has an ancient Schwinn stationary bike she inherited from her mother. Thing is built like a tank. But the right pedal was slipping. … ★ 3

Good morning to this goof, who destroyed the tv remote yesterday and had to be hauled off to the vet for x-rays because we couldn't find the batteries. They are not inside him. We still can't find the batteries. ★ 2 My advice was: Get it working locally, with a database and a web framework like Flask or Django, then decide how you want to deploy or port it to a website. I think he’ll learn more about how it works that way. Am I being hopelessly old fa… ★ 7 Question for the DH Pedagogy folks. I’m helping a student who wants to set up some web based services as a self-guided project. He’s a newbie at non static web stuff. Has some programming experience. He’s looking at AWS, specifically Lambd… ★ 8
