I should also mention that this is not "early snapshot" (snapshot-at-the-beginning, or SATB) but "late snapshot" since the main idea for restoring snapshots is that you independently roll forward each cooperative thread from its quiescent state snapshot (corresponding to the thread's main loop) by replaying from the log, which means you avoid on-stack replacement. This only requires that each thread returns to its main loop infinitely often.
Nations of Cobrin’Seil: Kyranou
Who you are is often as much about who knows you. It’s possible, in Cobrin’Seil, for you to grow up on an archipelago of connected island city-states, with diverse food and music cultures, in a state that respects art for its own good, and ensures the widespread development of parks and proper protection of the seas, which creates great public artworks, and which even has the largest bridge […]

Today I Remember (“TIR”) that I once had a Stack Exchange profile. Alas, although I tried it years ago, somehow none of my answers or questions seemed to be what they were looking for.
Although it wasn’t for me, I kinda admire communities that have strong opinions.

When it comes to moralism vs. materialism I always know where I stand.
Some fantastic pictures from the 70s/80s British music scene here 😻
Rare lore: I almost posted this picture of Odin raw before I noticed at the last second that an envelope had fallen off my desk in the background, address facing the camera. Address (and barcode!) deleted :neodog_glasses_thumbsup: https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/117568523803230227
I miss working with that team, on that product, was because fundamentally that product proved that if you can define and instrument success, then you can treat process improvement like code - make a change, measure it, roll it back if it doesn't deliver or comes at the cost of something else you value - and once you can do that, you can expect, and hold management accountable, for their effectiveness at doing just that.
And my goodness was that ever unacceptable to a certain sort of leader.
It has been 0️⃣ days since I saw someone post an image where they had covered up their address on a package but not covered up the barcode underneath
So here's your safety reminder: always, always, ALWAYS censor any barcodes on mail and packages when photographing them! It is often your address or something very close to your address (such as your street). Barcodes may be printed very faintly or in fluorescent ink; double-check before assuming one isn't there, and cover it no matter how faint it seems! If it's a bunch of lines of any kind, it's a barcode!
We would give demos of this product, just turn it on to give prospective clients a data-backed view of how their organization worked, and about half the time it was like turning the lights on the morning after a party. Like there's someone's dog in the punch bowl, three dudes have passed out in the bathroom and does anyone know who they are, why is the couch on the balcony how did that even get there kind of party.

sometimes people ask me how LLMs are affecting wizard zines’ business and I literally have no idea.
I’d say the main thing affecting Wizard Zines right now is that I got really interested in writing open source documentation that is available for free which is part of why there haven’t been any new zines recently
(not looking for advice just sharing what’s up!)

One of the things I miss the most about working with the Flow team - apart from being @grimalkina -adjacent for almost a whole year, that part was amazing - was the part where the Flow product I was working on, ostensibly an engineering process metrics tool, was secretly a way that you could gauge, backed with data, how effective your managers and leaders are.
And: let me tell you.

It has yet to be determined which is scarier - that everything you do is a balloon, or if only a specific subset of the things are in fact balloon

I'm actually very happy with the cute mint green Rosyposy A6 notebook cover and pen case I scrounged off Ali Express, they're pretty good quality for something that's explicitly cutesy and aimed at teenage girls. But I'm considering asking for a Lochby or Galen Leather notebook zipper case for Christmas, something that's ultra-sturdy and can bang around in a bag for a decade, but alas they only come in Manly Colors.
I say this having worn a cute pink Hobonichi cover, which are quite good quality, to absolute tatters before.
my gender is: why don't they make ultra-rugged tactical EDC gear in cute girly colors :neodog_glasses_sob:
Hab mich grad random daran erinnert, dass ich als Kind gerne meinen Kopf an den Röhrenfernseher im Wohnzimmer gehalten habe und es dann so angenehm an der Stirn gebrizzelt ha. Vielleicht erklärt das einiges in meinem Erwachsenenalter.
