    Reinforcement Learning bots are getting real weird.

    Apropos of nothing…

    Since 33 mutuals of mine follow Rich Geldreich, I should point out that as far as I can tell, he's just making stuff up about RAD and pretending it's magical insider knowledge, so I wouldn't trust his discussion of ANY company or its internals.

    Despite RAD having already explained to that they've never been bailed out, he continues to claim RAD was bailed out. What bailout? When did this happen? Who bailed them out? It's nonsense. It is extremely irresponsible to blatantly lie repeatedly to 12k+ followers.

    Also: lock free code is really difficult to get right and moreso when it has had contracts modified by 30 developers over ~20 years. I’m pretty convinced that most lock free code could be just as fast and more robust using a readers-writer lock pattern.

    The good news is that one character fix really does look like it did the trick!

    This week I am glad we don’t measure productivity by lines of code or changes committed. I spent two days trawling through ~75 crash dumps that made no sense followed by staring at code I didn’t write to eventually make a one character fix.

    PHIL VALENTINE, 61, of Nashville, Tennessee, died of COVID in August of 2021. "In December...he tweeted "I have a very low risk of A) Getting COVID and B) dying of it if I do. Why would I risk getting a heart attack or paralysis by getting the vaccine?"

    The irony of this being a post by me on Twitter is not lost on me.

    I am increasingly convinced that anonymous free UGC on the internet is 100% a mistake.

    Cool country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if someone invented a website for ranking hot girls on campus and your mom used it to learn how to poison herself with horse paste.

    Windows Remote Desktop is a hilarious example of this: if you use RDP to connect to a machine you can paste the password into the host. If the target locks, you cannot paste a password into the locked screen so you have to disconnect or type it by hand.

    App developers: do NOT disable pasting in password fields! This reduces security because it makes it more difficult for people to use password managers, resulting in users choosing and reusing simpler, easier-to-remember and easier-to-type passwords.

    Anyone else experience a profound feeling of relief when they find a song where they only know or recognize a tiny part of it? I had this song stuck in my head for the last day and couldn't correctly remember enough of the lyrics to find it.

    Every city should charge an Empty Home Tax like Vancouver. It should be prohibitively expensive to have an empty house sitting around, and should tilt the risk calculation entirely out of favor of trying to do so.

    1 in 7 homes are now bought by Wall St investors Starter home prices are rising 7x faster than renter incomes The typical renter needs 27 years to save for a 20% down payment on the median starter home This is the big crisis not being addressed

    Windows 11 reports its version as 10.0.22000.160 (apparently Windows doesn't actually go to 11) so how should we detect Windows 11 for reporting purposes?

    For the last month or so I’ve been rewatching modern Dr. Who (starting with Eccleston). I forgot how sudden (and sad!) it was when the Ponds stopped being the companions, even though Clara is an unexpected delight. And now I’m at the end of Matt Smith’s time as The Doctor. 🥲

    One of my joys as a parent is sharing great music with my kids. Seeing how they react to music that is old to me but new to them is great every time. Also my son (6) giggles the first time he recognizes an f word in a song and it’s so great.

    Achievement (of sorts?) unlocked: we were on Oahu for 8 days and I didn’t hear IZ’s Over the Rainbow a single time. It is a lovely song! But often I hear it so many times when we are in Hawaii that I am very tired of it by the time we leave.
