Picture-perfect

A beautifully sunny February day and we're driving towards Seyðisfjörður in the east of Iceland. Away from the road, the scenery is pristine.

The blown snow partially hiding the peaks, the exposed black vertebrae defining the mountain ridges, the frozen lakes, the tall snow-poles following the road's edge. Dazzling white snow, blue shadows, and clear, bright sunshine.

Here's a link to view this scene in pano 3D:

President Obama lays down some truth.
Something Trump cannot claim to have done.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it
off without firing a missile. We got 97%
of their enriched uranium out. There’s
no dispute that it worked and we didn’t
have to kill a whole bunch of people or
shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

What's the oldest thing you still think of as "the new kind" because of how old you were when it came out?

I ran this poll yesterday that almost 100 people voted in. Not too surprising 67% are not in favor of vibe coded fediverse software, and 21% of that group would take off their gloves and start throwing punches at the robots. Then we have 33% of the crowd standing on the sidelines shrugging. I guess people who are super excited for vibe coded fediverse software probably didn't vote in the poll to begin with.

@cwebber That person nailed the part. 😆

MIT reports new grad school enrollment down 20%, presumably due to the difficulty in getting student visas under Trump.

MIT is also reporting a 20% decline in federal research funding, 10% overall drop in research funding.

Otherwise:

I love you Mastodon, I really do, but sometimes we need to be a bit better at focusing on the important issues and ignoring the extraneous details you know? The EU Commission just posted about banning conversion therapy and the replies (that I can see anyway) are exclusively people having a go at them for using a url shortener, people having a go at them for how the post was phrased, someone being cross they didn't do this earlier and someone arguing that this is taking away the rights of consenting adults to have conversion therapy if they want it.

Like sometimes maybe we should dial down the Mastodonning a little, you know?

@jyasskin @laser conversely, when I use Mastodon via a native client like Ice Cubes, I'm not using a browser, but every message has a unique URL and is definitely linkable. (In my view, that's also the web, by the way.)

me reading my own post that i just made back to myself

Beej (aka Brian Jorgensen) got tired of all his friends asking him how to do stuff with networking-programming in C —

So, in the mid 1990s he put it all online for free.

And, he has been updating it since then.

https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

It covers: TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6, blocking & non-blocking I/O, client-server programming, select(), poll(), and more.

Beej's Guide to Network Programming has been an influential book.
