I will be delivering the opening keynote at BSides NYC on October 17th. 45 minutes of screaming followed by 15 minutes of Q&A: https://bsidesnyc.org/

It's a genuinely lovely webpage dedicated to a U.S. military dog called Nick, who retired earlier this year and was adopted by his owner, and clearly beloved by his team.

GOOD PUP. YOU SERVED YOUR COUNTRY. WOOF!

@bok is it working well? like - do you trust it to make the list properly? I assume you aren't going to manually verify each stamp

Farm workers really, really, really need you to vote.

Farm slavery is a very real multi-million business in this country.

And Trump struck down major anti-slavery rules for farms last year.

"Both parties are the same" Ok... Not for farm workers, they're not!

@decryption it's surprisingly complex. I'm not pulling out and photographing all 24k stamps individually, so I take photos of the pages in an album and the first thing is a computer vision pass to actually figure out what is a stamp on the page and what isn't. It has to deal with overlaps, hard edges in the stamp design, and a whole lot of things.

Then identification. Stamps that are well known will be in its training data, otherwise it has to identify country/value/description and google them.

@Craigp Oh sure! but that still means that I had to talk about AI.

Gonna go read some book on Wicca because seasonal curiosity. If you have a favorite book on the subject, pls feel free to share

I judge a service or feature by whether I'm still using it a week after it comes out — 232 queries so far suggest I'm loving it. Is #SiriAI perfect? Heck no. Great and private? Yep.

I've been on the main branch of Tcl/Tk I can confirm that the GUI and language situation is extremely good.

The announcement buries the lede but the Zipfs_Apphook is a gamechanger, I can use to package any app into single executable cross platform AppImage like thing (works great on Windows!).

Any app, it could be Java, JS whatever, just bundle everything (JRE, shared libs, static assets, whatever) into a Zip image & from the user POV it's just a single executable.

@catsalad I hate it so much that I don't even want to talk about how much I hate it all the time because that only makes me angry

Können wir uns bitte darauf verständigen, dass dieses „Kinderlose zahlen mehr“ ausschließlich dazu dient uns gegeneinander auszuspielen, damit wir uns nicht fragen, warum Pflege durch Umverteilung zwischen Lohnabhängigen aber nicht durch Umverteilung von oben nach unten finanziert wird?

@meadow Ikr??

I love when my phone gives me a notification like "Grayjay is using excessive battery! Put it in deep sleep!" And it's like... oh, the app that I *asked* to play music for me for two hours straight, and it did so valiantly, on my orders and behalf? My noble audiovisual knight that I rely on and seek out the use of every single day? I should put that in deep sleep? Get fucked, you little Grima Wormtongue evil vizier. I know where your loyalties lie, in the far kingdom of Samsung, and your treacherous words curry no favor in this court.
