@cdarwin I mean, it’d be funny for the few years when he was no longer president and thus blocked from being there. But I kinda doubt he’ll live long enough to wear an orange jumpsuit or exit gracefully. Funnier still if a later president decided to revert the golf course to wildland preserve […]

Vale Margaret Hamilton.
She was a Software Engineer.
She was the _first_ Software Engineer because she defined the term, Software Engineering:
"When I first came up with the term, no one had heard of it before, at least in our world. It was an ongoing joke for a […]

A B&W photo of a person standing next to a stack of printed paper as high as the top of their head. This is Margaret Hamilton, at work as a Software Engineer and the leader of a team of extremely specialised programmers who worked for NASA. The photo was taken in 1969, and it shows a physical form if her work since she joined the Apollo project in 1965 (she joined at the age of 29 by my calculation). My interpretation of the expression on her face is a mix of pride and mild amusement. She has glasses, long, straight hair, and neat office attire. Margaret Hamilton has her hands placed gently on the stack of printouts to keep it all balanced upright. The pages appear to be arranged in bundles, ranging from 8-10 centimetres thick, to 20cm thick or more. The resulting stack of printouts is physically impressive for being an unusual feat, and it represents something even more impressive: it's the printed form of the source-code she and the team she led wrote for the NASA Apollo project. Their software ran on the Apollo Guidance Computer that was that on board each Apollo command module and Apollo Lunar Module. The Apollo Guidance Computer onboard the Eagle was an essential flight instrument for Neil Armstrong when he piloted the craft to land on the surface of the moon.

That $100,000 American Express bill that Kimberly Guilfoyle got a donor to pay? I wonder what she spent it on? Clothing? Botox?

🎯 'A man raped her' instead of 'she was raped.' Have you ever read a headline that reads "A bank was robbed by a suspect?" Nope. It's "A suspect robbed a bank."

Christina Ricci in front of a patterned wall with the text: Maybe we should start talking about how many men out of 3 will sexually assault someone... instead of how many women out of 3 will be assaulted. Lets shift the ownership..

@Unixbigot damn; hope you heal up soon — I periodically bonk the thin edge of ou kitchen cupboards. And years ago, a friend came over; I was grilling something, we’re talking, and I tried to step outside to check the grill without noticing/opening the sliding glass door. Nothing broke, but […]

I logged in to LinkedIn to see a page full of people praising DHH, got mad, and wrote this. Less than 12 hours later I got an email telling me "Your post doesn’t comply with our Professional Community Policies on bullying and harassment. It’s been removed […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]

A LinkedIn post from me that reads "DHH is openly a Nazi. You should not promote anything he is doing or relay his opinions on software development. It is shocking to me when I open this app and see people casually discussing his opinions on AI or interface design or whatever, as if he were a "thought leader". He is an open advocate for mass murder. It doesn't matter what else he thinks, do not promote his ideas." followed by the text "Only you can see this post because this content goes against our Professional Community Policies."

@kc see, and I also went the bureaucratic (knob= someone useless and impedimentary) path and thought it was hella name for half the big companies I have encountered. A twofer. Saw a typo in a name, using ‘filed’ rather than field. 1/10 the humor but I liked the thought there is a fair amt of […]

@Unixbigot I got a fair amt of wirewrap gear and a few spools in boxes of junk years ago. Nowadays, a wrap tool is $15-50, the headers are infrequent, and I never see this variety of wire colors. But it’s still damn fun to play / prototype with. And once puttered with, the art of building and […]

Twenty Black soldiers, one wild bet: could bicycles beat horses? In 1897 they pedaled 80-lb rifle-loaded rigs from Fort Missoula through snow, alkali water, and hostile towns—1,900 miles to St. Louis in 41 days. Crowds of 10,000 cheered. History nearly forgot […]

@riverpunk top of your 3rd toot, you said ‘regular person’. Seems wild that you want to get Regular folk to use a different set of jargon when this one works.

Taking a step back, I think our clash is that you’re not differentiating lay meaning from tech meaning.

Regardless of kernel (incl bsd) […]

@cascheranno.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy Sep 21, 2026, 2:43 AM

@riverpunk wild, that this says ‘switch to Linux’ isn’t useful to a regular person, then spends 20 lines of text on deep inner details like kernel and x86_64.
