Some greatest hits on shithead driver charts today. Honked at by some ballbag in a white Camry, who then honked at me again because I wouldn't pass a stopped bus at an intersection (forbidden unless it is controlled by a light). Then another guy honked at me when he pulled out in front of me and I had to brake hard.

One of our NAS boxes has a delegated DNS entry, using simple round robin node balancing. "Great" thought I, "I can use the DNS name for SSH work" Alas it causes host key alarm because there's multiple hosts...I don't like to switch that off so I guess I'll just stick to the IP I've had stuck in my head forever. #sysadmin
Notwithstanding that the entire point of this very expensive regulation change was to close following distances. #F1 really cannot get out of its own way sometimes.
#F1 this is a bit annoying. Ross Brawn and Pat Symonds said that they would monitor aero exploitation carefully. If allowed to progress, teams will spend a fortune on these concepts, many CFD and wind-tunnel hours, only for them to be binned overnight.

A decade ago, a tribe of JS partisans took the web by the reigns, forked HTML and JS syntax, and yeeted useland abstractions into the critical path because "a better user experience".
This was premised on the idea that everyone's CPUs/networks would get faster the way their top-end phones did.
They could not have been more wrong.
JS-first web development has been a planetary-scale exercise in the rich making life harder for the less well-off.
You just do what you can while waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Monday. Both kids are ill again, it hasn't got to us. Yet. This is a tough time for year for bug-fighting.

"Don't show this recommendation again" | "Don't show any recommendations for a week". Of course there's no option to, you know, turn it off. Modern consumer operating systems, ladies and gentlemen.
My job title has the word 'director' in it. This is like a magnet for LinkedIn recruiters that seem to think I run the whole place. There's loads of us, it's like 'vice president'.
#F1 Logan Sargeant in for another year at Williams. No driver moves at all for 2024.
