It's 5:30pm in California, and it's already pitch dark outside. 😭
@ai6yr BC's gone to permanent DST to fix that, but now kids are going to school in the dark, so you can't win either way
I have two more ~2wk pet/house sitting gigs, one this month + one next, but both are double booked and with a dog at one of the houses so recovery value will be slim to none unless I somehow get very lucky with it.
my main looming thing is figuring out how to try to stay on Medicaid. I already lost SNAP at least temporarily because I was too fucked up to get the paperwork in by the re-cert deadline on the 31st of last month. I've been hoarding food though so that's all set for a while.
I also really need to see the doctor about a few little things before I potentially lose Medicaid, but it's just another task in a priority queue of hundreds if not thousands, many of which are on fire or smoldering, anyway I haven't managed to arrange it yet 🤷
something about the way this is the BotW engine adapting a pre-BotW game really showcases how much more satisfying tight, authored game design can be
@averyfinecat I've been saying this since BotW came out and nobody wanted to hear it lol

Perhaps we all misunderstood Jensen Huang when he said that we should be embracing agents in this age of AI.

woah a popul vuh release in 2026 
Here is a very scientific poll because @span irisjaycomics and I could not agree on this:
Do you brush your teeth with hot water or cold water?
@itsnero @irisjaycomics This really unlocked some very strong childhood sense memories. I did do cold water pretty much until my late teens when I figured hot water was probably more hygienic, and that's where I've been since.
@exador23 My main issue is proper mounting hardware. I can set it to whatever angle/elevation angle I want, if I can figure out the hardware. The solar racking install companies just won't return my emails or phone calls, don't seem real interested in single hobbyist installs; my last one was Unirac, but that is... crude.

I spent the weekend implementing leaderless multi-Paxos by hand, and now I'm moving into Paxos Made Moderately Complex. I kind of wish I'd started with PMMC, but I think I may have needed to have the pain of negotiating slot allocation among peers to appreciate the PMMC leader decisions. #DistributedSystems #Paxos #Homework #PMMC
@evan John Ousterhout came and gave a talk last week and he explained that the origin story of Raft was that he "just couldn't figure out Paxos"

IMO, the institutional hospital wheelchair is the pinnacle example of cheap-olution. The most widely selling hospital wheelchairs have been designed in such a manner they can't be mass produced any cheaper and still be (barely) functional (in limited environments).

this account still mostly write-only.
inverted to -/?, maybe -/-, hard to tell due to weird sleep. increasing amplitude & frequency of oscillation is a direct result of weird sleep.
I never got my face consistently above water with 2wks uncomplicated catsitting. after 10mo with no recovery it wasn't enough.
I did net about 10 days of semi-productive haphazhard hyperfocus (crank on one area while 17 others fall to the floor, some on fire) but it looks like that may be just about done.
