Happy #PortfolioDay everyone!

And it's $300. Yikes. Think that's more than what my (Best Buy store brand) TV set cost?

Noisy env of 7 people, most of whom are chattering over each other, and me not really paying attention to anyone. I hear one word cut through, maybe shouted?

"Amazon!"

I assume it's about the online retailer, but I'm also the tallest person in the room by 10cm, so I jokingly call back, "You rang?"

Turns out, she *was* calling for my attention. #fml

Good job, I played myself. But at least I was able to reach what she needed from the cupboard without having to find the step-stool. #superpower

f(x,y) = ((~((y % x) & (-y))) & (~((15 & y) & (-y)))) % 10

You know what Epic is doing? They want to normalize AI driven development in games. That’s the kind of “fuck you players what are you going to do about our monopoly anyway” attitude l can respect, Tencent would be happy to fully acquire them when things go south (assuming it can be approved).

Siri AI is also unavailable on the new Apple TV in Europe. Not because of regulation or anything. They just didn’t get round to it.

Almost like the regulation thing is a smokescreen for an unfinished product experience, like Apple Intelligence before it, that gives them six months to finish it 😛

I regard all the *here’s what you should / might like to read next* calls to action at the end of an article as a kind of cognitive assault.

- They cloud when the article you have read has ended.
- They steal focus and thoughtfulness from what you have just read. Which is probably not what the author wants.

Tag links are different. They’re a way to let the reader indulge in an act of discovery

How this managed to finish printing is beyond me, let alone it have no effect on the final print. #3DPrinting

New piece at the Star from Cara and me. Two-thirds of Canadians would prefer governments prioritize making homes less expensive than protecting property values. So why are our mayoral candidates so timid on housing?

NEW: After four witnesses recanted, a Pennsylvania man spent 20 years in prison insisting he was innocent of murder.

Records show his lawyer, to whom he wrote dozens of letters pleading for help, did little to help besides asking for more time.

Some days, I really want different kinds of Likes on here. There's a difference between:

* I like that, it makes me happy!
* I don't actually _like_ it, but I agree it's true
* I'm not even sure if I agree, but it's definitely an interesting point

And then there's the "I've seen your post and I'm thinking of you", and "I've seen your reply, but have nothing more to say."

Anyway, I just ⭐️'d something that I don't _like_, but boy was it accurate.
