   I woke up around 02:45, thinking it was 07:45. Before 03:00, I realized it wasn’t time to get up. I still really feel the lack of #sleep 💤.

   "A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually." True enough. But elected representatives in government *are* supposed to do what people want, that's why they get elected. If they had fulfilled their obligations to actually represent the citizens' wants then the Supreme Court wouldn't have to act at all. It all…

   People, not all people but most people, are angry about the wrong thing.
   
   I agree that Roe v Wade being canceled is a bad outcome. I agree that women should have the right to their bodies, but here's my possibly unpopular take:

   It's the middle of May, I'm sitting outside in 28C weather, just 100km west of Toronto, and the Leafs are *still* playing hockey?

   It seems the state-of-the-art for autonomous vehicles is worse than I thought. Still, with the number of bad drivers on the road now, replacing them with bad robocars is still likely to be an improvement.

   OTOH, when the self-driving cars have to make a trolley decision and decide to veer into a mailbox or a fire hydrant that's really me on a bicycle, then I'm blaming you.

   One thing I do with CAPTCHAs is to always include one wrong item in the "click all the boats/bicycles/traffic lights". After 3-4 rounds, it usually lets me in anyway, and whatever killer robot I'm training will waste bullets attacking mailboxes and fire hydrants and skipping people on bicycles and motorcycles.

    Meh. If you're using Twitter's embed code to show info from Twitter's site on your own web page, then you get whatever Twitter wants to show you.

    what's most incredible about this date representation is that it was introduced after Y2K. it wouldn't have worked up to [19]99
    think about it. someone implemented that after all the many years of preparation and patching decades-old systems for Y2K, knowing (or, worse, without realizing) that it had at most a couple of decades of use. how screwy and irresponsible is that?

    From what I can tell, they were using the decimal digits of the 32-bit number as a sort of BCD, with the base10 digits representing portions of the date. The example used is "the new date value of 2,201,010,001 is over the max value of 'long' int32 being 2,147,483,647". So, YY MMDDHHMM ?
    
    What an extraordinarily stupid way to represent a date.

    Happily, it's been about 50 years since I read the first three novels, and about 20 years since I started on the sequels (which never did finish, got about halfway through the third sequel book). So my foggy memories of the storyline in the original trilogy shouldn't detract from the TV series. I recall there was a BBC radio play or a BBC TV series in the 1980s, I heard at least …
