Incidentally, if you haven’t read it, @rtraister’s profile of Warren’s teaching life is a real inspiration. The bit about her Republican former students not wanting to talk about her because they only had good things to say killed me. https://www.thecut.com/2019/08/elizabeth-warren-teacher-presidential-candidate.html

One of the things I really dislike about StackOverflow is when people come along and tag your question as a duplicate of another question that only has superficial similarity to the question you asked (like they both mention the same exception).
It feels so passive aggressive and there is no way to remedy the situation. No way to challenge the assertion that it's a duplicate and point out how the answers to those supposedly identical questions don't answer your question.
Can I retire yet?

How do you not turn up the radio when This Year by the Mountain Goats comes on?
@scott apparently we may want to pre-emptively block fedichive.tk. They’re scraping the fediverse to build a searchable database

I keep seeing a lot of apologies for not being interesting or funny or positive, and I just wanna say:
You are a person, not a brand. You do not need to be consistently anything but yourself. If you need to take a break, that's OK. We're all people, we'll understand.

It's been a while, so here's a reminder: list of Generative Artists who are Women. Do you know of any that should be added?
I am not convinced that metaclasses in Python are a good idea.

Just a reminder that you're not a feminist if you think you get to decide who's a woman and who's not.

TOOL's catalog has been on Spotify for fewer than two weeks and they've already got 3.5M monthly listeners. I kinda wish I still worked there so I could look more into that play data.
It is gradually becoming the case that the only t-shirts I own are They Might Be Giants t-shirts.

Great read: "What the Superhuman Controversy Reveals About the Shifting Ethics of Software - The e-mail startup isn’t the only company learning that a product can be powerful and elegant without being good."
Welcome @gfte 👋
Today I discovered that I can bring my own container to the coffee shop where I buy coffee beans and have them fill it, rather than taking home a bag that ultimately ends up in the landfill. This has made me ridiculously happy, considering what a small thing it is.
