Highly recommend Gil Durán's book, "The Nerd Reich". It's only a difficult read in the sense that the content matter is not pleasant.
Knowing about the business and people behind the technology that has been foisted upon many these days, I find it very hard to justify any use of it with arguments of utility.

Oddly, this 136 year old advice has aged rather well.

I fully anticipate that my near future will be filled with even more debugging of projects whose developers will blame the compiler for the problems because so much more code will be generated without a grounding on what that code actually does.

Caya is all about giving that look. #cats #caturday #catsofmastodon

This is Haba. She was one of my cats. Today she left us after a precipitous decline in her health from a kidney infection. She's young in these pictures but the way she was here was the way she always was: gregarious, joyful, and full of love. (And a little troublemaker.) I could never capture her intense innocence in pictures.
She was champion napper, too.
RIP little kitty. We got almost six years with you. You'll be missed.
(I posted this on my other account so if you got a dupe, sorry. I'm too tired to make another one.)

I am not looking forward to dealing with a sick cat. And I mean sick in the way that may result in a vet visit from which the cat does not return.
