Some of this thinking came from reflecting on why live coding and especially demoscene stuff is interesting. Especially in the latter, there is almost always some easier way to do things. It isn't because participating is hard that's interesting. It's the time and care that's part of it
It also came from reflecting on this post from @TodePond https://mas.to/@TodePond/117435659560967403
AHAHAHAHAHHH j'avais pas suivi l'actu depuis 3 jours et là, j'entends que "la recommandation c'est qu'il n'y ait pas de manifestations dans les jours à venir", sauf si elles sont organisées "par des organisations syndicales, avec des parcours alternatifs", les autres (ex. : celles de lycéens et/ou d'étudiants) étant "interdites".
Mais MEC ÇA FAIT 10 ANS que tu leur chies littéralement dessus, aux OS ! LES "ORDONNANCES MACRON de 2017", ça te rappelle quelque chose ?
I have spent a lot of my career trying to reduce barriers to participation
But removing barriers to participation and removing participation itself are, to me, two different things

It's "agentic" so it's okay.
NHK is Japan public television. Politically I feel a distance between Japan's government and my own views, but I have a certain affection for NHK, despite the feeling that it's often putting one over on me as a propaganda site. I notice that its management has committed to taking the UN's #SustainableDevelopmentGoals seriously and regularly produces programming that attempts to support that commitment. When I think of the behavior of my own country of late, and its impact on media, I find myself watching NHK quite a lot as a corrective.
The SDGs are too weak to capitalism's drive for infinite growth in a finite environment to save us from what we've done to ourselves, but they're an attempt to apply the brakes as opposed to tromping on the accelerator. In the absence of anything better that's being implemented at scale anywhere, I'm inclined to promote them.

C'est, je pense, un des mécanismes par lequel le macronisme aura fait le lit du RN (pour - pensée complexe - peut-être mieux revenir en 2032) : 10 ans de "ni droite ni gauche" et "d'en-même-temps" à sens unique (toujours en faveur des forts), venant se fracasser contre des chocs internes et externes, laissent les "gens"... déboussolés. Littéralement sans boussole politique ni sociale.
Je n'ai pas eu le courage de contre-argumenter : il m'aurait fallu partir de trop loin...

I might post something on my blog or I might not.
But all the people hating PHP seems to really *really* not understand why it took off and "won" over Pearl and others.
PHP has similar qualities that Excel has: extremely fast feedback, easy to use and achieve things, and easy to deploy to share.
Until someone creates a PL that has those qualities its going to keep getting used.
Also a by default shared nothing architecture is extremely useful for 90% of cases.

"But who will write the tests?"
"AI"
"Then the problem is not solved"
"Okay, but you can reduce the problems with the AI tests by writing clear documentation"
"But who will write the documentation?"
"AI"
"Then the problem is not reduced"
"Okay but all of these problems can be solved by simply writing proofs"

I got hauled into a data center today because Claude was used to spec it and screwed up badly. At least 2,500 GPUs were in an impossible upside down and backwards plan.
😱
I had to pause the call because I couldn't stop laughing. AI had sabotaged the AI datacenter spec for building more AI.
Nothing like humour in these trying times.

« Nous traversions des villages pillés par les mutins et, malgré nous, nous arrachions aux pauvres habitants le peu qu'ils avaient eu le temps de sauver. Tout gouvernement avait cessé : les propriétaires se cachaient dans les bois. Des bandes de brigands commettaient partout leurs méfaits ; les chefs de chaque détachement graciaient et punissaient à leur guise ; l'état de cette immense contrée où faisait rage l'incendie était épouvantable... Dieu nous garde d'assister à la révolte russe, absurde et sans merci ! »

We believe that the public has the right to know the consequences of this policy change. So if NHS England won’t publish the full assessment, we will.
#PPOD: On October 22, 1975, the Soviet Union's Venera 9 spacecraft made history by transmitting the first photograph from another planet's surface. Landing on Venus at about 32° south latitude, the spacecraft survived for 53 minutes in crushing atmospheric pressure and temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The bright white shape at the bottom is part of the lander, while the scene's curved appearance results from the camera's imaging system. Credit: Soviet Academy of Sciences

"Ceux qui prennent les coups ne prennent pas les décisions. Ceux qui prennent les décisions ne prennent pas les coups.
Nous devenons les visages d’un pouvoir qui n’écoute plus. Le peuple finit par voir en nous son adversaire, et nous par voir en chaque manifestant une menace.
Voilà le piège : nous opposer à ceux que nous avons juré de protéger, pendant que les responsables échappent aux conséquences de leurs décisions."
