Ratio to write an app that works once, vs to write an app that is bullet-proof. (selecting 2 means it takes 2x longer to write a bulletproof app)

I think the crisis we've uncovered here is that federal spending via the civil service is unfairly distributed across the country. Urbanization isn't going to stop (sorry Wyoming), but agencies should open offices each senator's largest city.
detect-secrets, gitleaks, git-secrets, and truffleHog all have different success, failure, false-positive & performance profiles. If your secrets are worth enough, run all 4.
He will cost $5m to $10m. Pitch it as "You will be acting like a QA analyst. You will act like you understand what the clients & developers are saying. You will convincingly act like you are working" So, like any tech job. "Oh you need to gain 50 extra lbs for the role" https://twitter.com/corsoa/status/1082748983594967040

Seems like I’ve heard this joke before.
If you make a pizza in a sphere you can exploit the Banach–Tarski paradox to cut the pizza in two each with the same surface area. This can be repeated any number of times to get infinite pizza. Who said topology was useless? https://x.com/fermatslibrary/status/1082273172114862083
If the president's constituency was dairy farmers, he'd build the wall out of cottage cheese. Actually I'm kind of surprised he doesn't want to build it out of Trump brand ties. https://x.com/TreeMartschink/status/1082513692976136192
Just rename Federal Employees to Feral Employees and problem solved.
You are at a dock. People are milling about. There is a rusty fish rod.

You have a fish rod. You are on a dock. People are working slow.

People look at you bemused and then return to milling about.

AWS console for ECS exists mostly to give you the motivation to switch to writing boto scripts. I infer that was the entire spec that the AWS engineers were working from.
Alexa! What is the missing number.
Missing is not a number. Did that help?
Yes. That is true, can’t argue with that.
No that isn't quite right WaPo Search Box. Weather is a sort of normal thing to search for. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1081654375620272129/photo/1

A financial institution my employer uses wants me to login using 3 different similar domains. It is like they want to train their users to be susceptible to phishing.
“WARNING! Using --password via the CLI is insecure. Use --password-stdin.”
Security by saying something incoherent. Warning! Foo fah blah bliz! Kazaam! Fear! Panic!

The program 'lynx' is currently not installed. You can find a better use of your time by typing:

I’ve never seen Rashomon, but I’ve heard four different people give contradictory accounts of the movie’s plot.
me: Alexa! Tell me a joke.
A: Your office's DCHP server
me: You have a point there.
That IP address is already in use? You can't stop me from manually picking a another unused address. And when DCHP assigns that to some other unlucky bastard, it will be his problem.

Weird, after a 2 month break, I get back on and I only see 10 minutes worth of tweets from folk I follow on my main feed.
I'm back after an almost 2 mo hiatus. It was an experiment to see if my personal productivity would change if I took a break from twitter. Results: Productivity is driven urgent, meaningful tasks. Twitter usage is driven by a lack of urgent meaningful tasks,...
so more of a symptom than the root problem.

KATA: Write a clock that chimes every time the time is interesting, e.g. 11:11, 2:22, 12:12, 1:23, 12:34 etc.

#iphone design team: "Oh! You're right. We will get rid of the headphone jack! You'll get a new dongle!"

civics question- if a bill is passed in the house, & the bill isn't a "must pass bill", or was passed by a party that doesn't control the senate, is there any way that the bill would ever be brought for a vote in the senate? (Does McConnell have a veto on all legislation?)
CRAZY TALK: Maybe progressives should be funding republican senatorial moderates in primaries Alabama, MS & other states where Ds have no hope of ever winning because Ds from blue states will need someone reasonable to work with in the Senate

By keeping GMs advertising in house, GM is picking the wrong side of a culture war. The Japanese & Koreans don't have a horse in the US culture wars & are focusing on what will sell the most cars. Chevy ads reek of red state insecurity & indignity. https://twitter.com/MElliotFrost/status/1060944004819378176
IDEA: Interview new staff based on the last 10 year messages you got doing their, e.g.

IDEA: new data type in javascript "welldefined" for functions that know exactly what the answer is, but are being catty about telling you it.
And now for type coercion
welldefined + welldefined = []
welldefined - undefined = NaN
welldefined / undefined = 0
welldefined * 1 = ""
This news cycle is like bonkers. ~24 hrs for a mass shooting, AG firing, RBG in the hospital, House flip, stolen election in GA, anti-press WH antics, ... surely I'm forgetting something.
So if you play the Hilton Honor points game, you get these certs worth a free night. On the east cost (excluding NYC), it is really hard to find a hotel for more than $200 a night. (vast majority of inventory is $100-$150...
You can also go to Bora Bora. You get a free night normally worth $1500-$4000 per night! But Bora Bora might as well be on Pluto, it is the least accessible place in the universe, costs $$$ to get there and food costs $$$$.

Cramming for my life insurance medical exam tomorrow. I need to pull off not being such a stiff. Look lively. Hide the mirrors. Study how other living people behave.
