My eyebrows would look like that if I didn’t trim them regularly. It’s a Slavic thing.
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 6 days ago:
Yes, the cameras are marginally better and the CPUs faster, but that’s about it. I don’t need, and certainly don’t want, AI features, which is often the rationale for a new phone now. A user-replaceable battery would be nice, though.

As an American, Scots are the most difficult to understand. Most Brits, Welsh and Irish are fine. Australians and New Zealanders, too. Canadians can be almost indistinguishable to me with the exception of a couple of words here and there.

Another one of those signs whose backstory you’d love to hear but never will.

I keep my FB and Insta accounts only because so many of my friends still use them. Someday I hope they’ll see the light, too.

- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 1 month ago:
Every DDoS that hits Cloudflare is bigger than the previous one. There’s bound to be one that they couldn’t instantly mitigate.

after string of lawsuits.
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 1 month ago:
I flew into Boston back in the ‘80s and was driving a rental car to my hotel. I get to an intersection and it’s blocked for a 10K road race. So I ask the cop diverting traffic if there was an alternate route to the hotel. He shrugs his shoulders, says he doesn’t know, and waves me on. I ended up driving around until the roads reopened.

It’s Zuck’s company.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 3 months ago:
I teach Software Engineering, working mostly with first-year students but also coaching the senior capstone project. This year was the first time that not all of my seniors had a job before they graduated. One got hired just two weeks ago. Unsurprisingly, incoming numbers are way down. It’s likely that at least some of those were attracted to the money aspect, but it’s still a disturbing trend after years of steady growth in numbers.

Attention span of a Golden Retriever puppy, but none of the cuteness.
