My email signature randomisation script picked an appropriate quotation for the weekend's #debian Bug Squashing Party:
[W]e found...that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had
thought. I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going
to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.
- Maurice Wilkes, 1949
Pace is slowing, but we need this past 100k. We all know any debate they have will be poor quality, but we need to force them to have it. Don't let them sit back and think the Supreme Court decision is some kind of 'last word'.

#IPv6 usage in the UK now over 50% according to Google. Still someway behind Germany (75%) and France (84%) but to out of context quote Jon Bon Jovi, "woah oh, we're half way there'.

Clever people design interesting machines to do useful things.
Marketing hires a second or third echelon to stop them doing it, unless a ransom is paid.
The second echelon are not so competent, and marketing are not so careful.
One of the most embarrassing absent-mindednesses in software development:
โข decide carefully what you want to do
โข write a clear, well reasoned source comment and/or commit message explaining the decision
โข forget to actually change the code.
On the positive side, you have documented what you wanted to do, and (presumably) a commit showing that you didn't actually do it.
Seems like a much better situation than having some code that doesn't make any sense and no explanation why. Like a few days ago, I asked myself why I added 120 seconds to the current time before displaying it. No comment, so a guess could be that it was a test that accidentally got committed, but I can't see anything logical I could have been testing. I mean, next time I run the program, it will already be two minutes later.
Pool day for some are about relaxing, others just aim for a good splash.

Itโs a detail that none of us wants to think aboutโฆwhat will happen to our children and dependents after we die.
I remember making a #will before my kids were born and addressing the details felt grim even then.
But what if you have children with #SpecialNeeds? It turns out you need specialist advice, a standard will wonโt help, it could make your childโs life far worse.
Worth reading.

Who cares - chocolate time!

finishing things? the most incredible high you'll feel
actually doing things? literal torture. you will die in the liminal space of working on a thing
gotta love it
More dancing rodents I found while looking for that one Nutcracker video that was all over last holiday season.
This is not that one, but it's fun too!
